>tfw when of the DLC's is a third-party western character
Hold on OP, lemme do you a favor
>inb4 "Dark Samus, K Rool and Diddy are western characters"
That's not the same thing, they're western-created characters from japanese franchises, and they're all first party. No, that doesn't mean Sub Zero is getting in. A rule's a rule until it's not, but there hasn't been a western third party yet. It's probably unlikely.
>yfw when its doomguy
They're from Western second parties, so the image is misleading. His claim is true, but even if Nintendo owns them they are still Western in origin
He's a literal who, people stopped caring about Doom over 20 years ago. Besides Samus is already the FPS rep & 95 % of millennials grew up with Halo, COD & Battlefield, without knowing what the hell Doom is
>diddy kong
>Japanese
oi
> Donkey Kong & Metroid aren't first party
Jesus western Smashfags are genuinely worse then Resetera Trannies
>A rule's a rule until it's not, but there hasn't been a western third party yet.
Shovel Knight. And before you continue your pedantic semantics, OP never specified “fighters only.” We absolutely have western third parties in the game already.
See the 2nd post you fucking stupid piece of shit, are you literally incapable of reading?
Isn't K Rool technically UK?
How does this make you feel?

Doomguy is the first person shooter genre in the same way Ryu represents fighting games
>Has own face in the fucking HUD
>FPS were "Doom clones" once
In the same way Ryu represents fighting games, Doom man himself might as well be the living embodiment of this genre.
Even with Master Chief, you got the Marathon officer before him.
Not even BJ fits this criteria.

He may never get in but damn if he just doesn't make too much sense.
No, Nintendo owns everything related to the Donkey Kong series. He's Japanese like Pikachu or Mario

Pathetic
I can't deny that. And yet
>tfw both Doomguy and Frisk get in
>what is Shovel Knight and Shantae.
>"b-but there not playable"
still in.
>seething this hard that a western character could get in muh precious party game
Embarrassing
It sucks because we've gotten characters from games that haven't even released in the west. And Erdrick might be getting in, and he's not known at all over here.
>yfw its Crash
Not an argument, keep coping
Not an argument, keep coping.
Not an argument either. Keep coping.
quintessentially british
What are relatively well known western characters to Japan? I can think of
>Crash, sort of
>Steve, sort of
Dark Samus is not a Japanese made character you fucking dumb ass.
Undertale shit, nobody else is even relevant because Japan voted Undertale characters into their list of favorite Nintendo characters
>k rool will NEVER get into smash because he's irrelevant and a retarded boomer pick
>ridley will NEVER get into smash because he's too fucking big
OH NONONONO HAHAHAHAHA
It's not going to happen. Notice we get Sf representation, but we'll never get MK representation. Because one of the cornerstones of MK is over the top violence. Same with Doom. It's an integral part of the experience. That will hurt Nintendos image, in their eyes. Literally no chance.
Undertale, Minecraft, A few platforming mascots like Crash/Spyro/Banjo have had decent sales. Others like Rayman have had far less prominence in the land of the Rising Sun however, has none of his games ever got past like, 20 000 copies.
Patterns and rules are always true, up until they aren't.
>mfw it's Gex
The internet would explode.
Steve will be the first character to be from non Japanese related franchise
>without knowing what the hell Doom is
Doom was on everybody's PC so probably not
just wait.
Too bad a large portion of the Nintendo Community has never played on PC. I really wish it wasn't the case, but tell any Nintendo fan about PC Classics, and the majority will go at most " Yeah i've heard of them I think? "
>rules/patternfaggotry
Masta Chiffu is next
Do you really think that's a big deal?
Smash is a game that basically sustains certain characters' entire fanbase.
>Too bad a large portion of the Nintendo Community has never played on PC
Did they just not have access to computers at all? Even the school computers were running Doom. I'm incredulous that kids born before ~1980-95 managed to avoid playing Doom
