I’m interested in knowing what character you think are objectively “missing” from ultimate’s roster. I’m not talking about fan favorites or pipe dreams, just gaming icons that aren’t there. I think the roster is already pretty complete, although I would remove the weeb shit from it. Here’s what I think:
>Banjo
>Steve
>Master Chief
>Monster Hunter
>Rayman
>Phoenix Wright
>Unironically Waluigi
>Unironically Goku

Honestly? No one
Maybe an argument could have been made for Bomberman, he's the last one I could see as " missing ", even though he's kind of there.
Before this thread becomes austistic steve/banjo wars I just want to say It's pretty weird how Minecraft didn't even get a spirit in this new smash being as big as it is and after being ported to three Nintendo systems and advertising crossplay. I'll be surprised if it doesn't get anything at all by the end of DLC
I do believe that Goku could be the only last big hype announcement that is left. Maybe Master Chief or Steve, but all the other wouldn't be that hype.
I would unironically play the shit out of a Halo Kart racing game
Smash is a shit game you stinky repeat thread posting faggot. Learn what objective means.
No one is missing. Another fun surprise like Joker would be a good addition but not necessary. No one that’s currently shitposted by autistic rosterfags is getting in.
Dr. Crygor, Penny, Mona or Jimmy would be a great fit. Plus we need some more warioware reps.
All of those, except replace Rayman with Crash.
>I would remove the weeb shit
smash is a japanese game
why dont you just play brawlhalla or slap city instead
>gaming icons who aren't there
>no pipe dreams
>>lol here some warioware misfits
This desu
Rayman is even there in Brawlhalla. You can have him & pretend he's important
Steve, as some kind of builder. Like Olimar, but blocks instead of pikmin?
Edelgard, as an axe-wielder. Fuck more swords.
I personally want Shantae the most, but it won't happen and the shapeshifter and spellcasting niches are covered by Pokemon Trainer and Robin, anyway.
Sora
Steve
Master Chief
Crash
Phoenix Wright
Professor Layton
Banjo
MonHun
Dante
Quote
Shovel Knight
Jibanyan
Fortnite Guy(s)
And not as a character, but highly deserving of representation in some way; Terraria.
Sora, he will be announced this E3 along with KH3's DLC. Screencap this.
Akira, Crash, Spyro, Conker
>remove the weeb shit
>goku
>phoenix
this
Characters I think are OBJECTIVELY missing:
Earthworm Jim
Lip
F-Type
Mach Rider
Goemon
Sparkster
Dr. Eggman
Battletoads
Bomberman
Fuck all your shitty zoomer characters like Banjo and Steve. Gaming's been around longer than most of you faggots have alive. There are dozens of characters from the glory days of gaming that are still missing from the roster. These characters earned their way into Smash when you were still just a nut stain in your teen mom's panties.
>remove weebshit
>add goku
Yo-kai watch cat
>Banjo is "zoomer"
>BUT *MY* ANIMAL MASCOT FROM THE 90s, SPARKSTER, HAS AN *OBJECTIVE* CLAIM TO SMASH GODDAMMIT
Both of you need reading comprehension.
You don't know what it means to be iconic, do you?
>Goku is weebshit
Anything N64 and onwards is zoomer. And even without that caveat, Banjo's the shittiest possible candidate you could pick from the N64/PSX era. Crash and Spyro are way better.
Characters I think are objectively missing from Smash: none.
There is no video game character left who has enough legacy, relevancy, and overall global popularity to make them a must have.
There are some who come close (Reimu for example is missing just a bit of global popularity, or Chosen Undead is missing a bit of legacy) but none that really fit all three.
>reimu
Haha. What a joker you are, user. Such a riot.
If an atrocious piece of shit like Steve is what counts to you as "iconic", then it's a completely meaningless word.
>reading comprehension
Though I expected nothing else from you, dumb anti weeb.
Face to the second best selling game of all time, grandpa. Has truckloads of merchandise with his blocky likeness plastered all over. Kids everywhere know him. ;)
But user, I was only humouring your notion that Reimu was only /close/ to reaching such recognition. Reimu is absolutely iconic, and is guaranteed to be in.
>N64 is zoomer
So did Earthworm Jim back in the day. He was a megastar. But he was forgotten, just like Steve will be.
youtube.com
I know you forgot to take your pills, gramps. But you gotta know Smash is a thing that's happening right now! Whether or not Minecraft and Steve are lost and forgotten two decades from now is irrelevant.
>N64 is zoomer
>but Panel de Pon (a game released just one year before the N64) is boomer and also has a more objective claim to Smash
You're just frightened and confused by 3D, grandpa.
Minecraft survived the gotm syndrome like Undertale. It has been close to 10 years and people are STILL talking about it despite Overwatch, Fortnite and Apex happening. It is timeless. Earthworm Jim was a product of its era and did not survive.
I feel like Banjo is the only character that is objectively missing at this point. Maybe Phoenix Wright. After that, it's going to be 3rd party picks and new characters until the end of time.
>N64 Tardbabby is shitting his pants
Typical how the retards that grew up at the start of Nintendo's decline tend to be overly defensive about it. You were born in that console generation and therefore weren't around to experience the games that were "a year earlier" since you came out in 1998.
There has never existed a more unworthy character for Smash than Steve. Also quit samefagging.
Only arguments I'd make for characters that are missing are Bomberman and MAYBE Ryu Hayabusa. Anything else I'd want is purely selfish, like Mach Rider, and not actually necessary.
There can always be new first party if Nintendo can keep up with creating new IPs, or introduce good new characters to existing ones.
>Did not survive
>Has a new game coming out announced this year which made it trend #1 on twitter
>Has millions of fans that have been clamoring for a comeback for decades
Even by your own shitty zoomer metrics for popularity Jim is a big deal.
How is Steve not missing exactly? Second most sold game of all time. 10 years old title. In almost every platform known to man.
>There has never existed a more unworthy character for Smash than Steve.
As opposed to the ever-so-popular "Lip" from the world-renowned, king of sales, object-of-desire-for-kids-everywhere, "Panel de Pon", correct?
>samefagging
Yes, gramps. It's so implausible that more than one person should disagree with you. But okay.
user how can you say that about Shantae when Steve is literally Link/Villagerfusion but looks like shit and has "crafting" mechanic applied to him to make him "unique"?
Tetris themed character, Doomguy, or Steve
Hence, 3rd party AND NEW CHARACTERS.
I'm sorry I misinterpreted your message. Please don't kill me.
Lip is a Nintendo character and represents an unrepped franchise, so she automatically has more claim to Smash than any third party character, especially Steve.
It's more implausible that someone would have the exact same garbage taste and bad attempts at burns that you do.
10 years is still only half as old as any other 3rd party franchise already in smash.
Steve is about equal to Chosen Undead for me, they are both quite likely but I wouldn't say they the roster is incomplete without them.
I'll spare you this one time user, but if it happens again, so help me...
How would one even do a Tetris character that's not just a retarded walking L block or something? I agree that it'd deserving of representation, but it's probably better suited as a stage.
>Lip is a Nintendo character and represents an unrepped franchise, so she automatically has more claim to Smash than any third party character, especially Steve.
Is that so? How many of these do you think we can ignore then?
>Earthworm Jim
>F-Type
>Mach Rider
>Goemon
>Sparkster
>Dr. Eggman
>Battletoads
>Bomberman
Besides, even with that argument, Nintendo's very own Sheriff has a greater claim as a fighter.
THIS IS THE LIST OF NON MEME NEWCOMERS WITH WANT BORN FROM LOVE
Battletoad
Doomguy
Kos-mos (never see it meme’d, only genuine asks)
Banjo
Phoenix Wright
Tomba
Travis Touchdown
Wonder Red
Dr. Robotnik
Rayman
Kiryu
Heavy
Frisk/Chara
Dante/Virgil
Alex/Ryan (River City Ransom)
Crash Bandicoot
Custom Robo Rep
THIS IS THE BASED CHARACTER LIST. IF YOUR CHARACTER ISNT HERE GET FUCKED
>no Steve
People legitimately want him now. Also missing some JRPG series reps.
Yeah, that doesn't disprove my argument. I'd be perfectly fine with just the Nintendo characters from that list. But if we're adding third parties those characters all belong in the game first (as well as Crash and Spyro - Banjo can stuff it).
Also PDP is substantially more popular than Sherriff.
>Earthworm Jim
>a big deal
>oldfags on twitter means he's a big deal
No he isn't. By that logic Bubsy must be a "big deal" too huh?
>Crash
>Heavy
>Dr. Eggman
Those three are cool, but ultimately your list sucks.
Bless you, friend. You're too kind for forgiving my grievance towards you. I am not worthy for such a thing.
The only ones I would say are outright missing are dixie Kong and banjo. Maybe Jeane but that's a stretch.
honestly Banjo he's perfect for Smash would have loved if he could have been in melee
Nobody knows what Panel De Pon is, gramps. Any kid you mentioned such an acronym to would think you'd want some Youtuber in Smash.
if Goku was in, we would have found out yesterday
>Living in this much denial
No one EVER cared about Bubsy. Jim has orders of magnitude more fans.
>Being proud of the fact that your generation is retarded
But you obviously knew what Panel de Pon is. And so would everyone else once she got in.
Item
But gramps, I'm probably much, much older than you.
Item, Kirby transformation, Spirit, Mii Costume, Song.
**Prove it coward. You're probably as old as the nut stain I put in my throw rug this morning**
Nintendogs
There's no reason such a large franchise should be only an assist trophy and stage
Be creative.
Like, his normal attacks are weak punches, but his main gimmick is crafting a weapon with his special to temporarily replace the punches or crafting some random terrain he can interact with, like Villager tree.
Like his special brings up a Pacman-like charge or a roulette to pick a material. For arguments sake, let's say he can only craft a 1x3 space, so swords and/or a 3 stack of blocks.
Wood-wood-wood makes a wooden sword with low dmg, but high knockback.
Wood-iron-iron makes a balanced iron sword
Wood-diamond-diamond makes make high dmg, low knockback
Anything else makes some terrain or whatever.
Other moves can just be the bow or pick-axe or something.
I haven't played in years, but that sounds cool to me.
From what I've seen, the spike in genuine Stevefagging only happened in the past month or two.
Remember, Sakurai is a turbofag for Minecraft. If Joker is anything to go off of (since Sakboy's also a turbofag for P5), expect moveset creativity to be nearly non-existent.
Not even a stage. Make it an assist trophy that fills battlefield/omega-type stages with the dropping blocks.
Was that an attempt to set a spoiler?
Everyone crying for western characters is beyond retarded. Out of the massive roster in Ultimate do you know how many western characters there are? One, Dark Samus, and she’s an echo from a spinoff in an originally Japanese series.
dousing the game in like 8 western guests would be strange, but i wouldnt be surprised if 2 or so crop up, crash/steve/ezio etc. Japan is just 3 of the 14 million this game sold and they're explicitly reaching wider audience with these DLC packs
No one is objectively missing. Every worthwhile Nintendo character was in by Brawl and every worthwhile truly iconic third party gaming character was in by Smash 4.
If there HAD to be new first parties, then Dixie Kong, Toad / Captain Toad, and Bandana Dee are probably the most significant omissions and Bomberman is probably the most glaring third party omission but even then those first parties aren't THAT important and Bomberman is already an AT
Anyone who genuinely believes that any character is "objectively missing" at this point is a retard
There really aren't that many Nip characters worth a damn at this point anyway. Who we got?
Sora
Monhun
Phoenix Wright
Chrono
Quote
Eldrick?
It doesn’t matter, it’s a Japanese game and nips have never heard of your characters. Banjo is a literal who to Sakurai, the same way westerns would react to a random character from a nip game that never made it to the west.
Except Banjo's games were decently popular in JP back in the day
dude worked under Ninty/Hal 2 decades ago, he know who Banjo is and explicitly commented on him. Granted I think the characters time has passed and dont give a shit about him
ass cred/crash/minecraft sell well in jap-land, the latter is a genuine blockbuster like it is here
Steve sucks, no moveset in the world could work in my eyes cause I cant begin to imagine how he'd animate in Smash and have it look okay.
this shit pisses me off, where'd this huge unironic support for blocky texture come from?
Why are rosterfags so closed minded? Are those the only characters you know, the same handful that get regurgitated daily? There are literally thousands of options.
>expect moveset creativity to be nearly non-existent.
I was hoping Joker's persona would play like the stands in Heritage for the Future, which it actually does, just a different resource system.
Joker feels like a rogue and distinct from Sheik or Greninja at least, but Arsene's implementation feels like a lame add-on to compensate for Joker's shit base-range and kill potential.
Happy for the addition, but he does feel off.
Wasn't Banjo popular in the east?
>400k
Wow it’s fucking nothing. Find me one character in Smash with nip sales that low.
Fuck you all give me Pyramid Head, Leon and Mike Tyson as realistic looking character reps you assholes.
Smash Bros needs Krystal as one more Star Fox rep. Her inclusion would be really, really cool, if it weren't clear that she wasn't featured anywhere else... in Star Fox Zero. I'm not even going to go into a lot of other things. It can't be just me. She doesn't come on well when she's not a Star Fox character, and I'd rather she didn't be in any Star Fox series than anything else. So what do we do for her? She could do something like a cameo but I'm afraid there's no way she could make sense in any series other than Smash Bros. It's basically the perfect representation to me. We could have some very, very minor Star Fox characters appearing in Smash Bros. and they'd probably be pretty cool. And they wouldn't look anything like her.
Bonk and a SNK rep to represent the remaining jp consoles
You have to keep in mind how really unpopular the N64 was in Japan. The fucking Saturn sold more there. 400k is pretty solid for a western platformer that was on a unpopular console in that region.
>Find me one character in Smash with nip sales that low.
Bayonetta's even lower
Let's ask a question off of this post, and I want serious replies lads. If Bubsy got into Smash Ult somehow as the last DLC fighterto ever be added, what would your reactions to such be?
>thousands of options
Oh, care to share with the rest of the class what thousand characters should be in Smash?
The Nerevarine
>Metroid
>F-Zero
>Castlevania
You'd think more Joker/Persona fans would be willing to call bullshit on how untapped the potential of Joker's moveset was after seeing the faithful effort that Mega Man, Ryu, and the Belmonts got. But instead many go out of their way to DEFEND it. Now look forward to Steve being a Villager Link and people saying it would be impossible to make him more unique.
I'm with you on krystal what would your move set for her be
Waste of a slot.
What could possibly go wrong?
Dixie Kong, Funky Kong, Cranky Kong, Donkey Kong Junior, Waluigi, Leon Kennedy, Crash Bandicoot, Ryu Hayabusa, Skull Kid, Midna, Excitebike, Takamaru, Isaac, Banjo, Rayman, Alucard, Bomberman
Custom Robo & Famicom/Advance wars both have numerous games over much of Nintendo's vidya history. Maybe something from their arcade games as well.
>Fuck all your shitty zoomer characters like Banjo
I seriously do not get how you think Banjo is zoomer shit
Why are you people like this? How is Goemon more deserving to be in Smash than Banjo?
>Sparkster
What the fuck is wrong with you?
While I don’t think he’s missing necessarily, as he shouldn’t deserve a spot more than any other good third parties, I think pic related would be an amazing character
I didn’t say they should be in the game, I said you turbofags are never going to guess who gets in so you’re wasting your time. Third party characters and even Sony exclusives are on the table now. Even discounting those they could put in a shill character for an upcoming game like FE with Byleth or Sothis.
That’s 30 years of gaming history and even fucking future games with no restrictions and you fags just regurgitate the same 5-10 every day.
i want mach rider but it will never happen
>wants fucking Dixie or road instead of a wars rep, golden sun, or captain syrup to give Wario a 2nd rep
Or hell, any franchise without a playable rep would be better.
This dumbshit has been desperately trying for weeks now to conflate Game Grumps playing Banjo Kazooie with the game and its fanbase being zoomer.
You say that, but I among others, correctly guessed Joker's inclusion.
Bomberman and Zero are the assist trophies I want to see become fighters the most. Out of guest characters I mean. I'd like Waluigi someday too.
>Jibanyan

I'd play it; it'd be a mess but not every stage needs to be conventional
Or if Nintendo decides to do anything with its older franchises...
wait I forgot we were talking about Nintendo. Never mind.
>PDP is substantially more popular than Sherriff.
You talking about pewdiepie, bruh?
Wait, you want some little girl with a flower in Smash Bros.?
What the fuck? Loser.
>predicted Joker
Bullshit. Maybe 10 people on the fucking planet did. All I remember from back then is the same shitposting you see today, just with more Sans.
>But you obviously knew what Panel de Pon is.
>W-WELL YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS!!
Accept it, Banjo is bigger than your loli puzzle game bullshit and has 100% better chances to get in, and is 100% more deserving. Also, unlike your loli shit, actually sold units and pushed systems.
>coward
sounds like it's time for your daily dialysis injections, gramps.
I remember predicting Joker in various SMT and Persona threads here on Yea Forums, I got SO much shit for it back then
did you just try to use the cripplechan spoiler
bruh
Dixie is more popular than all of those characters
Dint diss puzzle league because of a shitposter, faggot. I will literally fight you.
Thank god people like you don’t have a say in what goes on
>Steve
>Master Chief
>fucking Goku
Legitimately autismo manchild choices that have nothing to do with Nintendo
If I wanted to play a puzzle I would just build one.
It's a genre for literally nobody except for obese weeaboos that don't go outside.
user.. look at our first dlc character and say that again.
To be fair, if Goku did happen, Sakurai would use a design that is exclusively from vidya. In that case, what design would be used?
And new pokemon, Lucina, and joker are more popular than dixie.
Unironically this.
As well as Sub Zero, Alucard as a fighter, Sora, Sephiroth, Ryu Hayabusa, Banjo, and Jak.
>literally nobody
>except
Imagine being this braindead. Anyway, your opinion is shit.
There are none, he'd just use base Goku, have a meter like Joker that's used for Super Saiyan, and then for his Final Smash he'd either use the Super Spirit Bomb, or go Super Saiyan Blue.
I need this and a music remix with Russian singing youtube.com
>Lucina, and joker
No they aren't
Get booty blasted even harder
Okay now, user. That's too far. While Panel De Pon is nothing remarkable, there are plenty of great games within the puzzle genre out there. In fact, there's one puzzling gentleman who could fit a spot in Smash quite well.
>using basic English is now being brain dead
>W-WELL YOUR OPINION IS SHIT!!!
Yeah, there's that anger masked by "smugness"
These 4 all have a high level of relevance each in their respective genres, and thus should be in. And honestly the same could be said for Steve even though a lot of people don't want him in.
>Chief - Major face of FPS for a large chunk of time and could be again soon
>Ryu - Historical action game face, would finally add a Ninja to smash
>Chosen undead - Face of a highly popular RPG, would finally add a real knight
>Goku - Face of anime, everyone knows his, has more games than most video game characters, and would be the only reasonable person to break the only vidya rule
All puzzle games are boring just like actual puzzles are boring
If layton was getting in he'd have been in for years now
Based and CHADpilled
Of course I'm angry. Otherwise I wouldn't be replying to your retard ass.
>using literally and nobody
>then going except
Also, I meant what I said. Your opinion is hot garbage.
>I’m interested in knowing what character you think are objectively “missing” from ultimate’s roster.
Dixie Kong. If we’re talking characters that never even made it to the cutting room floor, Mike Jones and Wonder Red
I just want all the TF2 characters desu
Maybe the ball from rocket league too
And the Alliance from WoW
Halo is dead
Sheik is a ninja
No one cares about the characters in Souls except the biggest autismos, especially a fucking blank slate created character
Goku is fine but it seemed like Sakurai specifically shot him down with the video game origin thing
Steve is one of the DLC packs
there's a timeline where he got in Brawl
If they add Geno, Mallow and Bomberman it will be complete for me, Geno and Mallow will never happen though.
I have no fucking idea who any of these characters are so no
Ya seethe?
Ya boil?
Ya fume?
Ya broil?
Ya bake?
Ya steam?
Ya sizzlin?
Ya fumin?
Ya worked?
Steve is the most well known character that’s not already on the roster
Steve is the face of Minecraft, lots of kids love Minecraft, lots of kids love smash connect the dots
>Halo is dead
Wrong, and certainly more relevant and alive than Banjo
>Sheik is a ninja
Sort of, but doesn't give off the classical Ninja vibe to her. Regardless, Hayabusa would have a very unique moveset relating to his Ninja nature.
>No one cares
Yes they do, Souls has become pretty popular
>Sakurai
Who cares, at the end of the day if Nintendo Higher ups want a character in, they are going to get who they want. Rules don't actually exist.
Lip's never getting in because she was replaced by Yoshi and Pokemon in the West.
HEY HEY HEY
ROSTERFAGS ARE FUCKING GAY
It's amazing the levels of stupid the Banjo-haters go to try and discredit their enduring fanbase and legit chanses of getting in. First it was the relevance arguement, then the lie that the Japanese hate them, now it seems that they are gaslighting the lie that the majority of Banjo-kazooie's fans are just zoomers who saw Game Grumps. What I find hilarious is that this only proves that there is a market for B-K that can appeal to younger kids. It worked before when they were first released, who's to say kids and zoomers today WON'T eat it up?
Banjo doesn’t have the same draw that Chief or Steve would, for potential Microsoft reps he’s in the back of the line
First party:
Ray from Custom Robo
Lip from Panel de Pon
Mike Jones from StarTropics
Waluigi
Saki from Sin and Punishment
Doc Louis from Punch-Out
Pious Augustus from Eternal Darkness
Captain Rainbow
Third party
Joker should have been Demifiend from SMTIII or Narukami from P4 with Izanagi. Both should be able to switch some Personas
Master Chief. Down B move switch between assault rifle and battle rifle for basic attacks. B would shoot. Side B is plasma grenade. Up B drops a lift from Halo 3 below him. Forward smash is energy sword
Heihaci from Tekken
Roto from Dragon Quest
Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden
Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes
Green Samus
I would like the dlc to be Dragon Quest, Minecraft and Banjo-Kazooie. Dragon Quest should've been in from the very beginning instead of Fifty million fire emblem characters. When I think DQ I think of the Nintendo games.
Minecraft is timeless and is fun. Plus it is as big as Mario at this point.
Banjo is a very big name for n64 but I think everyone wants him in only because everyone still thinks of them as Nintendo characters. Microsoft has done fuck all with the series since 10 years ago.
None of these will get in. We will get more playstation shit like Sora, Lara Croft, Dante and Resident Evil man and his cohorts.
Good thing you are not in charge of the DLC. Not everything is that simple, bud. Joker already shits on your unga bunga way of thinking.
Joker is a relevant character and is used to promote smash and vise versa. Why the fuck would they add banjo when they could just as easily add Master Chief or Steve when they’re bigger icons and would make more hype and money and people do want Steve
the roster, to me, IS complete as far as "gaming icons" goes
we have wanted since MELEE era:
snake
cloud
simon
ridley
krool
wario
ryu
and a few others i think.
we have all that now in Ultimate.
Banjo is probably the last old pick i would want, but i kinda wouldn't care as much as i got all the others, especially Simon. i don't think a DLC character will hype me as much as seeing Simon on the list for Ultimate.
>Joker relevant
>Banjo dead for eleven years
the problem with MC is that its about BUILDING and not about STEVE.
fucking steve can be ANYTHING you fucking want! that is why he is a shit pick.
A new Zelda character
Steve is literally the player character
I don’t want Steve but what does that even mean
Stevefags, Banjofags, and everyone else. I'm sure they can all put aside their differences and agree that the truely deluded rosterfags are, in fact, Lipfags.
but that doesn't make him fucking special at all!
holy shit, its why steve would be a shit ass pick.
it'd be like if a random person was included in a game of football greats because HE WAS THE FACE OF GAME!!!!!!!!!! HUUURRRRRRRRRRR
don't know if masterchief would work he has real guns can't do a bayo or joker and use magic bullets and steve couldn't be animated in the way he would in minecraft
My biggest question is where does the series go from here rister-wise? We're almost at 100 characters with every gaming icon in in some form or fashion. There's nearly nothing left to get hyped for after this game.
Think Dark Souls will crop up? Considering its impact and strong identity for combat and stages?
Artorias, Ornstein, Solaire, whatever
Joker uses a realistic gun fucktard and you aren’t Sakurai
I wanted Urbosa, Vaati or Impa, but they’ll never happen
Think, Yea Forums, just think. Let's be REALLY objective for once. For example, let's not take somebody that's not too disconnected (like grandma) but let's take somebody that is from generation X but doesn't play video games. This is supposed to be the target when choosing the characters. A recognizable face, an icon, you want to bring in the normies. So every single characters that are a bit too out of reach here are not possibility. While I like your picks let me take it as an example.
Ray, Lip, Mike Jones, Saki, Doc Louis, Pious whatever (who in the fuck is that), Captain Rainbow, Heihachi, Roto, Ryu and Travis are all a stretch.
Now let us decide who the true icons are, based on your girlfriend, or your sister, or your normie friends that watch UFC and call japanese people chinese:
>Waluigi
>Crash bandicoot
>MAYBE Spyro
>sans (because of memes, yes, but still)
>Fortnite man
>Goku
>Naruto (at least in Quebec, Luffy isn't known here)
>Master Chief
>Toad/ette
>Dark Souls guy facing away from camera
>Eggman, but it's a reach
>Tails, also a reach
>Steve (Minecraft Guy)
Now I don't care that you think that Wachawiwa from Momoshi Tangokuwa 3 is iconic, if the point of this thread is to be objective, then we have to take the figures that your normie friends could name on the character select screen, and those are it.
fuck your image OP, fucking waste of a jojo meme
>Banjo doesn't have the same draw
>Back of the line
How do you know that? I still find it odd that Phil Spencer continued to shill Banjo-kazooie in the context of Smash Bros. I think Phil has more knowledge about that than some rando on Yea Forums.
I think Skull Kid and Midna should both be in but we’re literally never getting a new Zelda character
I think the best thing to happen to this series is to polish the current roster before anything else (prune clones, retire small handful legacy picks antiquated even in their own series like Sheik, rework the inadequate like Sonic, Mac and Samus). But anyways, for Nintendo-ish "iconic" characters missing:
>Toad
>Waluigi
>Handful of big Pokemon (Gengar, Blaziken, Eeevee Family, a few more)
>Skull Kid is arguable honestly, everyone knows that mask
>Bomberman
>Steve
Master Chief, if we're just going with the history of gaming.
true that didn't even know the character existed until recently love the sound the lip stick makes though
Master Chief
Fortnite Guy
Steve
Tracer
Sans Undertale
Waluigi
Goku
Crash
Carl Johnson
Angry Bird
Clash Royale guy
In terms of what’s missing:
>Eggman
>Phoenix Wright
>Professor Layton
>Tetrimino
>Banjo
>Steve
>Quote
>Excitebike
>Dixie Kong
These characters have significant gaming and/or Nintendo history and a legacy. Quote’s an out there pick, but please don’t tell me you’d want Shantae or an indie FotM to represent the huge movement that is independent game development.
This is what banjo fags think
>H-hey Nintwebdo uwu! Y-yes Phil Spencer! C-c-can we add banjo to smash! Yes Phil! Whatever you want! ^-^
Dixie Kong by far.
One of Nintendo's most iconic female characters, has moveset potential and both boomers and zoomers and have been exposed to her. She is also owned by Nintendo.
>Steve is literally the player character
That no one uses.
>Banjo gets revealed at E3 and everyone drops to the floor crying because their precious uwu bear is back! Mario cries on screen and banjo hugs them and Phil Spencer and Doug Bowser have gay sex on stage with the screeching fuck awful banjo music plays in the background with Mario crying
Also, Steve literally isn't a character and cannot be made expressive (the latter of which is one of Sakurai's rules for third parties). Being faithful to the OG model and design (which falls in line with Sakurai's tendency for the default designs for guests) leaves Steve with stiff and unjointed limbs, an unbending torso, and a static face. Plus the sound effects in MC are severely less impactful or iconic so audio can't even make up for Steve's vocal silence unlike Mega Man or Pac-Man.
>Snake has his gruff relatively realistic voicing and his codecs
>Sonic has his cocky attitude and quips
>Mega Man has his NES SFX out the ass and his NES style animation
>Pac-Man has his Namco arcade SFX and his big dumb expressions
>Ryu has his move shouting and his SF2 sounds
>Cloud has his FF7 sound effects and his (now) unique retention of Japanese voicing (this is probably my biggest stretch admittedly)
>Bayonetta has her sextastic animation and her sultry voicing
>the Belmonts have Castlevania SFX and probably the most serious facial expression meshes of any fighters
>Joker has taunt Morgana and also his unique victory animations
Banjoooooooooooo!
Doesn't count. He's saying that for good pr because autists wouldn't stop asking him. It's going to be Minecraft.
What the fuck are you on about?
>next reveal is steve
>silence in the crowd except for the kid in the back
zzzzzzzz
>thinking sakurai won't pull bullshit and use stuff from minecraft story mode to give steve "personality"
There are no rules at this point, doubt nothing
never said I was and didn't say chief and steve aren't in just that I don't think they'd work calm down
>Sextastic
Steve can be expressive with his eyes and not being the most expressive fucking character isn’t a deal breaker and you aren’t Sakurai and his team of nips now are you?
It’s smash. Do you really expect people to not overreact to even the most boring of literal who’s getting in smash? Like they could release literally anything and people would fucking erupt
Back to /ctt/ with you
The remaining DLC is Banjo, Artorias, Doomguy and Ryu Hayabusa.
Steve would be more hype because Minecraft is more recognizable and it’s a new smash character, if people are gonna be hyped for fucking Erdrick they’ll be hyped for the main character in Minecraft
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Who's that? Oh minecraft? Oh zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Since when did kiryu be considered a based roster choice? I mean I’m not complaining but aside from myself I don’t see anyone really even talk about him, besides saying he’s a generic human being
> Ryu Hayabusa
Tecmo said they weren’t contacted by Nintendo
> Banjo
HAHAHAHAHA no
> Doomguy
Yes
>Who?
Minecraft is popular, Steve is not. Therefore, it should be represented with a stage, spirits, and assist trophies, not with a bland, boring character that has no legacy with Nintendo.
Steve is popular and legacy with Nintendo is meaningless
Reminder that Banjo is a shoo-in
> Actual Nintendo history
> Most requested character, wanted straight for 2 decades now
> Legacy character
> Saved the N64 along with Mario and Zelda and started the collectathon genre
> Unique moveset and a ton of music he can bring
If shitters like Gayonetta and Joker can get in, so can Banjo
I sort of agree. Only a bit of fans were excited for Incineroar, Plant and Corrin the moment they showed up. Everyone else was like, who? What? And okay.. wheres _________?
Banjo didn’t save the N64, it flopped
>Genofags said the exact samething
>No legacy with nintendo
It's on the switch with nintendo skins even, what are you on about?
I'm not even for steve but minecraft even though it's still quite young game is already iconic. The character wouldn't even be called steve but something like "minecrafter" like villager.
His name is Steve, they’d call him Steve
objectively, i can't say i'm sure beyond maybe bomberman. he got done so dirty and deserved more. i'm not even a huge bomberman fan and i still know that was some real bullshit.
subjectively, all i'd need for the perfect roster is banjo and geno, but both won't happen and i've accepted that, so i don't care who gets in. whoever does will make someone happy, and i'm sure any character will be cool and have their merits!
>using a soon to be 20 years old poll as some type of argument
>When fucking James Bond beat Banjo
I will say I'm laughing over the fact that Geno got less votes than Goomba even though Genofags said people wanted Geno since Smash 64.
>nintendo history
yes
>most requested character
bullshit
>legacy character
yes
>saved the N64
eh maybe but I'll give you that
>unique moveset
sure
But oh wait it doesn't fucking matter because at this point there are no rules. Anything could happen. There will be sakurai bullshit and you know it
Diddy Kong racing sold almost as much as both Banjo games combined.
Not even hating but this is a fact. It still sold a lot and has a great legacy but let's not kid ourselves.
Erdrick = Out.
Banjo = In.
Fucking Gex 3 sold more then both Banjo games
If you have ever played Minecraft you would know that's just the default skin and there is many skins you can use. Steve is just the default skin and they would use another name to represent all costumes.
Too bad the game is exclusive to a literally who console that no one will buy
When Steve gets in they’ll call him Steve and have four skins for Alex and they will be from the Legacy Skin Pack
I want banjo because hes a fluffy teddy bear and I would like to hug him.
You can't hug steve. Its like awkwardly picking up a stack of boxes.
This. The only major inclusion that felt missing that came around in Ultimate was Simon. K Rool and Ridley are wonderful surprises but they would not be necessary for a complete roster.
>the main villian of donkey kong wouldn't be neccessary for a complete roster
glad you're not deciding who is in
Retard on the defensive I see. Rool was a nobody before they added him back in. Ridley was fine as a boss battle. Its cool that they're playable but they do not "complete" the roster. The roster was just fine during brawl minus Villagers absence.
Instead of making a picture, I too will green text what I want with the hopes that there is an user who cares about my opinion.
DESERVED
>WALUIGI: the only Mario Party 3 playable character to not be a fighter in smash.
>LIP: With borderline no name oldies like Game and Watch and ROB, only including her weapon of choice since before the release of the latter sucks.
>COOKING MAMA: 7 Nintendo/iOS-only games and not even a shout out. Nintendogs beat her to any representation.
HESITANT BUT WILLING
>LLOYD IRVING: Tales series a popular. A lot of his potential moves are recyclable making it easier for the Smash team to make him. Preferably, keep him as the ONLY Tales rep in the smash game like how Joker, Mega-man, Sonic, and Snake are the ONLY playable reps of their series.
>MONSTER HUNTER: Only if each outfit is a different armor set. Fucking sick of Rath armor.
>DMC REP: Only if DMC is released on the Switch
>PHOENIX WRIGHT: Long running DS exclusive for a while. Not a swordsman.
MY WANTED BUT NEVER-EVER
>TOUHOU REP: Indie, Jap dev makes game that gets super popular and has sequels and spinoffs should get a shout out in some way, shape, or form. Arguably Zun is to Japan as Underboob guy is to US. The character herself would offer something new and fun to the smash collection of projectile spammers. An assist trophy or final smash that turns shit into bullet hell would be pretty dope.
WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER SMASH GAME IF
>CHARACTER(S) ORIGINATING FROM ANIME/MANGA: The whole point of smash is to have a roster of Nintendo related VIDEO GAME fighters duke it out for shits and giggles. Introducing anime characters that did not originate from video games truly ruins the spirit of smash and would invite a whole new cancerous audience asking for shitty characters.
>ANY AMERICAN/EUROPEAN GAME REP: Cancer community of trannies, degenerates, social rejects, and virgins do NOT deserve to have an opinion on the direction of Japanese video games. End of discussion.
>>the main villian of donkey kong
Mario has been in since 64 though.
Another pathetic Lipfag, I see. Reminder that Nintendo would like to make money with their DLC.
Well if we take into account game characters that are missing from worldwide top 10 favourite game of all times charts AND sales charts AND were/are character mascots for a system we are missing
>Steve
>Erderick
>Sora
>Crono
>Doomguy
>GTA rep
>Dovakhin
>Tetris rep
>Crash
>Master chief
Though I do feel like Banjo is missing because he was considered by sakurai to be in the very first installment of smash.. and this is the ultimate version of the game.
For a "Nintendo all stars" game I feel like it's not missing much.. could do with buffing out xenoblade or shilling astral chain.
In my heart I feel like the game is missing
Tails.. sonic by himself feels very off in my soul.
Tails already got #MiiToo'd again. So he's out, unfortunately.
user, Lip is lucky to even have gotten a costume. You should be grateful. Geno didn't even get his back and he's apparently more wanted.
Don't turn into Arlefag.
Lip is shit, why do people want her? I can understand characters like Sukapon, Excitebike and Takamaru, but why the fuck would you go with Lip?
100% agree. She'd make for such a neat fighter using her staff. Hopefully her Adventures attire wouldn't be her default though, too furry-bait.
>can understand a shitty game like murasame castle but not puzzle league
God I will never understand why Sakurai likes that game. Its so crap.
Same deal with Ashley. Waifufags, or just straight up pedophiles who want that sweet fanart boost that comes with the benefits of Smash.
I wish she repped her own series Dinosaur Planet instead of getting lumped in with railshooter fags and getting a ton of hate for no reason.
Some of us like puzzle league and not the gay loli japan only shit, user.
Upon reanalysis, I am okay with moving Lip to a never ever over a deserved. As long as the lipstick stays an item, I am satiated with that as a Panel de Pon item of choice. I am actually surprised she even got an outfit as well. As long as she stays represented as opposed to being a character, I say it supplies a sufficient excuse to keep Geno from being a playable character. Not that I don't want him, but like Lip, he only appeared in one game that came out 20+ years ago.
Mathematically and objectively speaking, it's Banjo and Kazooie
>Goemon
>Sparkster
t. unironically seething over the fact that the Smash community didn't choose "your" dead mascot characters to want to see in Smash
Clash royale guy, tracer and Fortnite are important to gaming culture currently but most people see them as something that will pass.
Same could be said for Undertale though the game is very pioneering. It might deserve to stick around
Waluigi is a meme about not getting into smash and deserves to stay that way as it more reflects his character than actually being in the game ever could
>Non Vidya
The rest are okay
Goku isnt a game character
And where is the rule that says "if a game manages to reach top 10 in most sold games on a particular system it must be included in smash"?
> Lipfags
I haven't read the thread but you just know that people who defend shit like Piranha Plant, Palutena, Ice Climbers, etc. will claim "there's no important characters left!" and shoot down any possibility.
Only 3.6 million? Well if we're "mathematically" speaking, there's still several franchises that have better odds than Banjo Kazooie.
well, smash is an all stars brawler
think a bit about what that might mean
>all but 2 games in the history of Nintendo console's best sellers haven't been represented in Smash
>One for legal reasons and the other because it's generic golf
>NOOOOOO PATTERNFAGGING IS ONLY RIGHT WHEN IT BACKS MY OPINION
>Frisk/Chara
Why?
>not the gay loli japan only shit
Then why the fuck do you want the gay loli japan only shit in Smash?
But if you look at the all-time best selling video games list there's actually quite a few games on it that have no smash representation despite their status. Whereas by this metric, all but 2 have representation
Its abundantly clear which metric is a consideration by the smash development team and which one is not.
>Lip: has a costume
>Shitle: has nothing, Joker instead
Pfffttthahahahahahaha
Only 64 and Melee were about All-Stars, Nintendo ones to be exact
Erdrick
the boy
user I know this might be a new concept for your primate brain but I wasn't the one you were having a tantrum with.
How come you're only considering the top ten of each console? Professor Layton on DS, for example, outsold the entire Banjo franchise in just two games. Diabolical Box alone sold 3.9 million.
>Only 64 and Melee were about All-Stars
The big cope
I like Phoenix Wright in UMVC3 and if they include him in other fighting games I hope they do something similar.
Banjo, Rayman, Bomberman, and if Nintendo did actually acquire the IP, Travis Touchdown.
Nobody is MISSING, per se, but I really only actively want 3 more characters, after that I actually don't care who else gets in. I'll order them in terms of how likely I think they are.
>Sora
>Banjo
>Phoenix Wright
I'm pretty sure the guy wants Banjo just because he likes Banjo. Literally everything outsold Banjo. And plus its a dead ip so it doesnt even matter. People just want Banjo user.
RETARD! It literally says All-Stars
Then why defend Lipfag then?
>How come you're only considering the top ten of each console?
Because it's clear that Nintendo is, too. Widen the scope to top 20 and it becomes increasingly less consistent, whereas the Smash team has gone to great lengths to include pretty much every character that was a console best seller into Smash.
Daily reminder that Banjo is never getting in Smash
About Piranha Plant's addition:
>I’m actually not paying too much focus on the surprise element when we introduce a new fighter. The surprise element quickly fades once the announcement has been made. Rather, I believe it’s important to have a good balance as a game. In the past titles in the series, Mr. Game & Watch, R.O.B. and Duck Hunt Dog were some of the examples we offered outside of people’s typical expectations. However, if we don’t have these types of fighters, and we only had typical “hero/heroine” type fighters in the lineup, there’s not much difference. It’s probably not very interesting. Correct?
>Also, unlike some main characters from some (not widely known) franchises, Piranha Plant is a character everyone knows well. And, I want to make sure to remind everyone that it is a limited-time offer fighter everyone can get for free as an early-purchase bonus.
You see this? Plant got in because he was a character everyone knows well, Banjo comes from a dead franchise that hasn't had a game since 2008. He's an irrelevant character with no future.
Not only that, but Sakurai's criteria for third parties clearly states that a character with no future are rarely chosen.
Basically you dead autistic bear will NEVER be in Smash.
> inb4 Stevefag
My picks are already in
>Lip: Has a dead series
>Arle: Has an ongoing one
Doomguy.
>Banjo fucking sucks, you should be voting for MY old and dead but not quite retro-rep characters instead!
Pretty much every single one of these threads could be boiled down this way. Holy shit you guys are petty, jealous motherfuckers
Everything passes, user. Not too many people care about Duck Hunt or Punch Out nowadays, but of course people will look back on them fondly, just as they will with whatever's popular today.
Im not helping lolifag im letting you know not everyone who likes puyo or league is a disgusting arle or lipfag.
League already has enough shit in Smash. It doesnt need anything else. Except maybe a stage. Which, if you think about it, would work a little bit better than a tetris stage because the pieces appear from the bottom rather than hazards falling from the sky.
The only puzzle thing that smash is missing is puyo puyo, where it is completely absent. And even then a cool song and assist is all it needs.
The only missing icons are Master Chief and Crash.
>everyone who likes puyo or league is a disgusting arle or lipfag.
I never once said nor implied that, user. Lipfag is a lipfag. That's all.
The problem with Smash Bros, is that the roster is never enough, and the more that gets added the higher and more tertiary the justification of characters becomes
For me however it would be something like;
Black Shadow
Tails
Birdo
Professor Layton
>Puzzle League: fun
>Gayo Gayo: shit
>Not only that, but Sakurai's criteria for third parties clearly states that a character with no future are rarely chosen.
Read again, he didn't say that was for third parties specificially.
kotaku.com
>As for who doesn't make the cut, Sakurai noted, "Characters from a series that has no future are rarely chosen.
Reminder that at this point there are no rules outside of "had to have been someone nintendo put into the pool of fighters for sakurai to choose from". Other than that, Sakurai can bullshit whatever he wants.
>"b-but one time he said X!"
he also said ridley was too big
>Undertale
Not him, but Undertale didn't survive anything.
The google leak is pretty much real at this point.
Isaac
Banjo-Kazooie
Balloon Fighter
That's it
rosterfags die
>Puzzle league: Dead
>Puyo puyo: Alive
I think we know which one was more fun based on that.
what was in it haven't heard of it before
After Ridley, K. Rool, and Isabelle, none of the essentials are really missing. More accurately, K. Rool is a character who should have been essential but he was left at the wayside by his own franchise. There are definitely a lot of characters who would make great additions, but the picture is more or less complete.
For me the closest we have to "missing" characters are
>Rhythm Heaven, the only notably missing Nintendo franchise
>Pheonix Wright, not a huge franchise but a Nintendo staple
>Ryu Hayabusa, the last big NES star
>Chrono, this one's a stretch but it could be argued there's a lack of SNES exclusive stars, while there are several known primarily for their NES game(s)
>Monster Hunter, which is represented in its best form with a boss
>I know it's been getting memed to death but yes Dragon Quest is pretty big and is closely associated enough with Nintendo
>Dr. Eggman, Sonic is still a big franchise and now a ten year Smash vet
>Another Splatoon rep since the franchise is pretty huge already. Octavio or an Octoling.
>Dixie Kong maybe?
>A Tetris block?
And I wouldn't prioritize most of these over the main tier in pic related.
Then there are other iconic franchises like Crash, Halo, Doom, Resident Evil, DMC, Kingdom Hearts, Dark Souls, Elder Scrolls, Cave Story, Prof Layton, Minecraft, Tomb Raider, all important in their own way and would make good additions, but not exactly characters you'd think of as this hole in the roster that needs filling.
Then Banjo and Isaac, the "could've-beens" for Nintendo but again not what I'd call missing.
I don't dislike Waluigi but to consider him anything other than supplementary would be stupid.
Show us!
Ryu Hayabusa, Banjo, Doomguy and Artorias from Dark Souls.
People love to pretend that there's some mystical fucking set of rules somewhere in Sakurai's office or some shit.
Yeah puzzle league.
He said he was talking about gaming icons.
Are you fucking serious
Get help
And Ridley is too bigly
>Artorias
That seems kind of random no?
Wake me when Puzzle League is a major hit in its at least one country like Puyo Puyo is.
I really want the E3 trailer to have Banjo come out of a dimensional tear portal in the shape of a green x.. do his thing.. then when it all feels like the trailer is about to end it cuts to a silhouette coming out the X portal.. it cuts to master chiefs boot hitting the ground.. shortly after a sticky grenade landing on Mario.. then frantically trying to get it off.. then some cool montage
There might have been at some point in time, but Nintendo kept coming to him and tearing off parts of it until eventually they just took the whole thing with them and replaced it with pictures of their character pool
I will never understand why PP gotin before Waluigi and Paper Mario.
Alright. Goodnight faggot.
None of those characters are in, where is this meme coming from
Literally just mod his model over captain falcons wire frame and it's fucking spot on
>Artorias
Well.. alright then
Care to give us a link or a pic or something? Where did you get this?
not a bad line up thanks for the info user
I fucking love Pushdustin, he puts all the Leakfags in their place
It's fake. I don't know why it's something people are even giving the time of day. It's based off of a Google Ad that comes up when you search specific shit in Europe.
Anyone can make an ad for anything on Google.
>t. someone who works in Search Engine Optimization
>just gaming icons that aren’t there
Define "icon". Is it the game or the mc? If its the game does it have to sell well or not? Does it have to be an influence or it can be as derivative as it goes? How recognizable do you mean? By what demographic? Icon can mean a lot of things, and it is why every time some dumb new thing gets in there is some way to justify its existence. Regardless, if i were to judge what game characters have "icon" status i would go with.
>Chosen Undead
FROM has now 6 somewhat similar games that have marked a whole decade, going from a niche developer which biggest successes where plane simulators to selling 2 million copies in 10 days. If someone plays vidya nowadays they HAVE heard of souls.
>Doomguy
While not a big thing on japan, his series is basically the grandfather of fps, its a mark on pc gaming and has been ported to almost every console existent in some form or another, its nothing less than a legend.
>Reimu
A similar case to the one above, while not popular in the west, Touhou is THE most popular indie series on japan, spawning EVERYTHING you can imagine, from doujins, anime, merchandise to countless well made fangames (really, think of a vidya genre and i will guarantee you there is a really good touhou game made based on it) and the way the creator treats his IP, makes the whole thing not be only his creation like other major "cute girls" fanchises, but a thing for everyone, by everyone.
>Ryu Hayabusa
While his existence may not be appreciated as much of the above, Ninja Gaiden was not only a NES days classic series, it was one of the few who managed to re-imagine itself to become ANOTHER successful classic of its time. Dante might be the more recognizable face when it comes to action games, but Ryu is not too far behind, and with a much bigger legacy along with him.
There is also a timeline where she got in. Too bad we don't live in that timeline.
Well, he does believe Hitagi and Vergeben are legit, or at least have some real information. So PushDustIn IS a leakfag.
Holy shit POST THE PICTURE.
It was fake when I realized it had banjo and a dark souls boss
Pushdustin is just a bitch, no better than Vergebitch or Tanshit. His words are empty and soulless as far as I am concerned.
Push believes their Steve claims
The Google leak is real. Sakurai can't ignore the most requested third party character. Cope harder, Erdrincels.
The Google Leak is fake as fuck, it was posted by some faggot user, if it contained Erdrick and Steve I’d believe it a bit more
Go outside.
I don't agree with him usually either, but he's 100% correct on this.
PushDustin isn’t a leaker, he just debunks obviously fake shitty leaks
>How is Goemon more deserving to be in Smash than Banjo?
Hard mode: How is he not?
>Main character of a long-running series that has had dozens of games
>Has transcended multiple different console generations and arcades
>Is truly historic in every sense of the word
>A truly unique fighting kit consisting of chain pipes, coins, bombs and jutsu magic
>Represents the golden age of Konami platforming
>Is more important to Nintendo than a stupid bear that's only had three games that were average at best
>I AM IMPACT-OOOO (DASH! DASH! DASH!)
Banjo can't even compete.
Can someone POST THE LEAK ALREADY, CHRIST
>a ton of hate for no reason.
While I agree on that, it is understandable that for the most of the Star Fox fags she comes as being an unnecessary addition associated with the lowest point in the franchise, also her endings in command where worst ones from the whole game, so not only that also is considered as one of the worst characters for that rason too.
There are gaming icons not on the roster but they don't feel missing from it. I addressed both what's iconic and what's closer to Nintendo.
>if it contained Erdrick and Steve I’d believe it a bit more
Go eat a tide pod you braindead zoomers. The people who deserve to live are talking.
Mr. Hanafuda. Always felt like a waste Nintendo's All Stars doesn't include anything from the company's first 70 years.
>The absolute state of seething contrarians
Denialfag.
>despite all of the existing evidence against Erdrick's inclusion, Erdrickfags still insist on shilling Erdrick
I am just waiting for Brave to be confirmed as Banjo or someone else so the Erdrickfaggotry can fuck off forever.
Your gonna get assblasted
Rhythm Heaven
>The absolute state of nostalgia-blinded Banjofags
Based.
Emperor Hanafuda should be the final boss and main villain of Smash.
I know you guys don't want Dragon Quest but its going to happen eventually. Besides, we are most likely getting two characters this e3. So if it is Erdrick then we can still be excited for the other one.
It’s gonna be Minecraft Steve
Whatever you say you envious seether
It won't be Erdrick though. It's gonna be Banjo.
>They're going to show off the character only liked by Japan at a western only conference
Edricktards are a special breed
Ridley only pleased the West and was shown at E3. Time for a change.
>Ridley only pleased the West and was shown at E3. Time for a change.
E3 is not a Western only conference, it's the VGA.
Considering Legacy, Crash and Kratos should be in it, but since they are/were Sony's mascots it probably won't happen.
>E3 is not a Western only conference
Japan literally give no fucks about Metroid, only caring about Zero Suits tits.
Ah nigga don't hate me just because my character picks are beautiful nigga. Maybe if you got rid of that nostalgiafagging for collectathon platformer bullshit you'd get some new good games on your dick. Oh better yet maybe Rare will call your bear ass if they ever stop callin them lawyers and skeletons they be fuckin' with.
NIGGA
It's gonna be Master Chief.
>Accusing others of nostalgiafagging when your backing an equally dead character
wew
You're just jealous that the Smash community is backing the dead character they want instead of the dead character YOU want. But guess what? Seething about it on a mongolian basket weaving forum is going to do fucking nothing to change the situation.
Erdrick is never going to be in smash you retarded idiot. Nintendo wants the fighter pass to sell, and it's not gonna sell if they include a character that the vast majority of the west are known to despise. Literally the only people who don't hate Erdrick are the japanese, and even then he's not all that popular in Japan. Face the facts, ERDRICK IS NEVER GOING TO BE IN SMASH BROS, NEVER FUCKING EVER.
Imo, Eggman is the only one that really feels like he is "missing"
I am still surprised he is merely a spirit. F-zero could have done with a villain too, but that series is dead, so i guess i´ll let it pass.
but no, they are good. The 4 dlcs will be more of an advertisment for upcoming games and trends. Nothing that caters to obscure nostalgia or similar pipe dreams..
(i wouldn´t mind bowsette though...)
You're getting Dragon Quest and you're going to like it Yea Forums. I'm sorry. I don't care much for it either. But it is inevitable.
We're getting Erdrick and Steve, what a shitshow
Google leak says otherwise.
I forget, aside from the whole Brave thing, what does Erdrick have going for him?
Still waiting for someone to post this..
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
That “Leak” is fake as shit and has already been debunked, let it go
>Square "lmao 2 song!" Enix
>Getting another character
The Erdrick leaks has been debunked too, but it doesn't stop you from shilling a generic anime swordsman.
>and even then he's not all that popular in Japan
The problem with that kind of statement is that it ignores, once again, that Erdrick is literally the most popular main character in the series according to the Japs. He is also often referenced in different animes (One Piece, Lives of High School Boys and other Square Enix manga)
web.archive.org
And Dragon Quest is loved, each game sell millions worldwide. I don't see where you spit out that "the vast majority of the west" despise him, it's only hardcore Smash fans who cannot accept the idea that a character they haven't been circlejerking about for months/years might get in before their own "big" names (namely Geno, Bandana Dee, Isaac and Banjo & Kazooie).
Vergayben and Trannynut, which PushDustIn backs.
The tweet by the DQ guy which has Erdricks shield alongside Kirby. That's it.
Crash
Phoenix Wright
A puzzle character
A sonic character
Except for Brave? Nothing, but neither do other characters. We are in the dark.
If you believe named leakers, many insiders back up his name (Vergeben, Hitagi, Tansut, Xenother, Polarpanda/Sabi) and known speculators (PushDustIn and GameXPlain) are 99% sure he is in.
Those same people minus Tansut also support that Minecraft content/Steve as playable character is happening, and apparently, MasterOfHyrule (guy who leaked the Battlefield last year at E3) believes that Steve is going to be anounced at the conference this year.
I will never understand the *banjo/steve in smash* meme
at least other meme picks like k.rool and/or ridley made sense cause at least they are 1st party characters
Good thing it's a known fact that "insiders" are all liars.
Bomberman. This is a character that had ~7 games on the SNES and at least 1 game on every Nintendo system. Yet best he gets is a shitty assist trophy and card? Granted I can understand why if Konami had to choose between their own Castlevania or some company they acquired's IP. But still...
No.
While got nothing against the char and think she could have a unique moveset. It'd be bullshit for four reps from a series that gets maybe one game a console and is only moderately popular. Better to put in another Nintendo series that has 0 reps or a bad guy (porkey) for the current ones.
Steve is less expressive than fucking Game and Watch.
Literally him and maybe spyro
Why the fuck did you retards bump this? Let this thread die
I can't handle more people making fun of Banjo
From Nintendo themselves? Nobody
Third party is a wild card because there is no standard, it’s whoever the fuck they want
Trying to make a pattern out choices that include Megaman, Ryu and Pacman seems easy until we got Joker, Bayonetta, Snake etc
Imagine being this obsessed
STOP TYPING
Comfy rosterfaggotry thread
Honestly just Travis Touchdown, i really feel he deserves to be in,
i also feel like eggman and Phoenix are missing but not in the same degree, even so i fuckin want the three really hard
Why? I want to talk more I just got here.
Relevancy isn’t an issue since K Rool got in
I wonder who could be behind this post?
Frisk/Chara
I support this more than the meme shitposting of Sans
#1 rule of Smash is that the main character/mascot needs to be the primary playable character
Thanks. BTW you ever notice Frisk/Chara roster wishers haven't been made into a meme yet by Yea Forums rosterfags yet?
BK is a dead franchise
I just want them to put Leon in and make mascotfags seethe even more
So is Metal Gear.
Are the usual suspects in school?
This is the slowest and also the highest unique poster count I've seen in a Smash thread with Banjo in the OP for months now.
First Party
>Toad (Super Mario Bros)
>Wart (Super Mario Bros)

I'm a big believer in having a true blue western rep namely doomguy, so that's what missing for me.
Not when Snake was added
I mean fucking honestly if you ask me he deserves to be in over Steve or Banjo or any Western character for that matter.
Any third-party expect Geno deserves to be in over Banjo
Steve at E3 furfags
Like, let's be real. It's been 10 years since his last game and I don't think the Japanese remember him or even care for him. Plus Rare gives little to no shits for the series.
>Banjo?
>Phoneix Wright, who is canonically a LITERAL. FUCKING. LAWYER.
>Goku, who, according to life, is A FUCKING ANIME CHARACTER
>Not Bomberman, a staple of videogames who FINALLY had his resurrection with Super R
>Not Crash Bandicoot or Spyro, LITERAL GAMING MASCOTS
>Not Lip and Mach Rider, old time mascots that deserve a spot as much as Duck Hunt does
You tried. But you failed.
Spyro is a literal who in Japan, his games flopped over there due to shitty cameras and they only got 5 games from the series in total.
Man, good thing there isn't a single fighting game that have Phoenix Wright as a playable character
>Not Bomberman
Bomerman is represented in Smash
>Not Crash Bandicoot or Spyro
Correct, Smash isn't a fucking refugee camp because PSABR was awful
>Not Lip and Mach Rider
They'll be adding deep cut retro reps to Smash until the end of time, they skipped it for Ultimate due to the low amount of newcomers and the oddball character being sold as DLC. Just be patient.
And Isabelle is a secretary. Your point being?
I never understood the correlation between mental retardation and people that unironically want Bomberman is, it's weird
> Implying Bomberman is a bad suggestion
Banjo
Dixie Kong
Some form of Mario RPG representation
A second Wario character would be nice
Bomberman
We aren’t at that point yet but I dream of a day where Pauline could be both a Mario Odyssey/Retro DK rep
I know you said no pipe dreams but I genuinely feel like smash could gain from my dlc picks. (Just because I didn't pick Banjo or someone else doesn't mean I wouldn't be cool with them in so chill people)
>vergeben has only made wrong guesses on smash dlc and has fucked up dlc for multiple other games
>hitagi and xenother are hacks and believe in the 'august play-tester steve build' that noatesty debunked
>tansut's the only real pillar erdrick has, this is the only one i believe is in
>sabi only makes guesses based on what other insiders are saying, their source hasn't said shit on erdrick or steve
>gamexplain has shown they know shit all about dlc
>pushdustin and masterofhyrule are just making guesses, MoH specifically said he's only speculating and knows as much as we all do
erdrick i believe is in, but i have my doubts about steve if we're talking strictly insider bullshit
if anything the play-test rumor being true would only mean steve is a mii costume and not a playable fighter like kencineroar and plant in that same build
> A second Wario character would be nice
Only Syrup is acceptable
Also
> Banjofag
I personally want monster hunter or a felyne, the other three as long as it's not some shit used in this rosterfaggotry wars is fine
Syrup was who I had in mind. Also Yep.
BASED
Read it and weep, zoom zoom
They're all going to be boring since Joker was the Last Surprise
Didn’t GameXplain say Steve was in and Steve won’t be a mii costume
they also 100% believed the debunked 5ch leak with ryu, doomguy, erdrick, and steve
they don't know anything
Banjo is zoomer shit retard, only Game Grumps kids want him in
Eh, I'd either throw in Crash or Spyro since they were big for Sony when they were released.
>Banjo is zoomer shit retard
Monster hunter is not an icon, nor is it even missing from smash. Rathalos is already there. It doesn’t need more.
The only real icon missing would be Steve and a shooter fighter of some kind. I’d say DOOM guy over chief, since he carries more actual history in video games past simply being “the big one” at one time (looking at you chief). DOOM started it all, so it definitely deserves the spot over Halo representation.
Steve would be perfect for the survival crafting genre of games, on top of being THE biggest game of all time. So he’s a no brainer.
The rest of the characters you mentioned really aren’t noteworthy enough to even be mentioned here.
Erdrick, Steve and Doomguy are likely but Hayabusa isn’t
>The only real icon missing would be Steve
I love Banjo, but if I'm honest with nyself Crash deserves it more
i like minecraft. i really do. minecraft is also undeniably iconic.
steve himself, however, isn't
if anything, the creeper is
Steve isn't an icon, and neither is Minecraft.
doomguy and slime
>and neither is Minecraft
This, it's like saying Fifa, CoD, Battlefield, Roblox, Club Penguin, or Habbo Hotel are iconic video games.
Just because kids hopped on board to play with their friends doesn't mean it's an iconic video game series. Enthusiasts, the people who actually buy Nintendo products and Smash in the modern age (pic related) see an entirely different set of video game characters as being iconic to video games. Stuff like Joker and Bayonetta who are dwarfed in sales by the above games or Megaman and Simon Belmont despite the state of their franchises when they were added (and even when they were at their peak, also got dwarfed in sales by the above games)
Nintendo knows which side of the bread the butter is on
The only character that actually matters.
Holy shit cope banjofaglord
Whats a matter little guy?
Can't come up with talking points now that Vergeben's kaput?
Bomberman isn't a bad pick, I'd say Phoenix wright is though.
>another Human
>No Special abilities
>literally a fucking lawyer
>steve isn’t iconic
Yeah, ok. Whatever you say bub. Do you even have evidence that he isn’t iconic? I mean shit, you could say that about any game that’s popular.
Nintendo is totally gonna pander to all the grown adults who still play Mario while their wife is fucking seven other guys
shut the fuck up faggot
You are REALLY fucking deluding yourself if you even consider thinking that.
Wow Wojack how original, just kidding rope yourself
>nothing but shitty meme images
Jesus banjofags are pathetic
I mock you with wojaks because you arent worth more than that.
>just kidding rope yourself
lol mobile posting kid
The fucking creeper is more iconic than him.
>Nintendo is totally gonna pander to all the grown adults who still play Mario
Now you're getting it. Those are the ones financially supporting the company, after all.
>Nintendo knows which side of the bread the butter is on
Yeah, and it sure as fuck isn’t banjo.
Verge was probably another gematsu situation, had legit info but it was probably from earlier in development and shit changed, like how he didn't know PP or Joker.
Wrong, Nintendo is for kids
>Do you even have evidence that he isn’t iconic?
That the xbox minecraft edition features, dirt, creepers, and pigs, but Steve is nowhere to be seen, for one.
In fact modern copies of Minecraft don't even start you off with the Steve skin anymore.
Was excluded from and not used promote:
>Minecraft Story Mode
>Minecraft Dungeons
>Minecraft Movie
Do you think the default Fortnite skin is iconic because kids are playing Fortnite right now? lmao.
Rathalos is leagues more iconic than monster hunter, yet there are people who think the MH is a lock.
The Pikmin are far more iconic than Olimar, yet Olimar is the one playable.
You have no fucking ground to stand on.
LEONCHADS RISE UP
No, it most definitely isn’t.
At this point I hope no Microsoft characters get it cause all you banjofags and Stevefags are insufferable
>Wrong, Nintendo is for kids
Nintendo TRIES to be for kids but as definitively proves, they end up with a different audience in the modern era. They haven't actually been kid centric for several console generations now.
try using a word you fucking faggot ass
sick of these banjofags using nothing but the same stupid images in every smash thread
That Nintendo published demographic breakdown you're replying to says the exact opposite. The 19-24 , 25-35, and 35-44 age ranges individually destroy the 12 and under, 13-15 and 16-18 age ranges put together. Kids are massively outgunned in terms of spending power on modern Nintendo consoles
The main character of minecraft is steve. Sakurai only adds the main characters of games to unrepped series. Deal with it.
He. Is. In.
Whoops messed up the link
She's in
You fucking retard. Do you SERIOUSLY think these kids are going and buying shit THEMSELVES? Their parents are the ones buying things. How fucking long have you lived in that basement there, banjoke?
>Unironically Goku
BASED
He passed over Monster Hunter and gave it a supporting role with Rathalos because it suffers from this exact same problem. Cope harder little zoomer.
>only game grumps kids want them in
Based retard, the poll tallies by the main user of the household's Nintendo Switch, not the purchaser.
Even if Mom and Dad agreed to give every kid in the 0-18 range the money to by Steve they'd still be dwarfed in spending power by every single age group above them.
Yikes! This would be true if Steve weren’t still plastered everywhere. You act like nobody has heard of him and he doesn’t show up anywhere, but he does!
I don’t understand why there’s so much steve merchandise if he isn’t even known, according to you!
Give up banjoke.
gamesradar.com
And apparently they want to bring in underrepresented demographics. So according to this chart and Nintendo's recent claims, they would try appealing to younger audiences. Meaning, once again, that Minecraft makes more sense than Banjo.
>This would be true if Steve weren’t still plastered everywhere.
Steve isn't even the skin they start you off with anymore. It's a random selection of like 10 generics
I guess it’s a good thing Minecraft is played by every age!
This.
There's no one left. We should just stop making Smash Bros.
Dude the fucking devs of Minecraft don't even consider Steve a real character. Just a default skin.
Minecraft got stigmatized heavily as an autism game like Sonic, it didn't end up with cross generation appeal like Pokemon or something.
Alright, I need you to be completely honest with me.
How many of you actually fucking care? I refuse to believe this many people are passionate about getting Steve and Banjo into Smash Brothers.
Based and literalwhopilled
Nobody is passionate about getting Steve into Smash. It's just a proxy to bitch at the most popular remaining rosterfag choice without putting their most wanted into the line of fire for shitposting.
>lying
Why do this? Steve was the skin i started out with and I redownloaded the game a month ago. Steve has tons of action figures, lego sets, T-Shirts, bookbacks, funko pops and is the face of millions of youtube videos.
What does banjo have? A single action figure that could ONLY sell because it was coupled with fucking MARIO. Pathetic.
Nobody is passionate about any character being in Smash. It's just empty ranting because we need a reason to get mad.
The devs do this because they’re all SJWs who want Alex to be popular. Why would they say this if they also plaster him all over the official artwork of the game?
>Dirt Blocks and Creepers get to be plastered on a several hundred dollar electronic
>Steve gets a cheapy 20 dollar action figure named "Steve?"
>You think this is an argument in your favor
My fucking sides
>Rare has new merch released mere days ago
fanattik.co.uk
Multiplayer games regularly feature generic representations of the player character on the cover of the game and in promotional material.
This Night Elf was on nigh everything related to WoW up until Cataclysm and yet you'd have to be retarded to argue that she's the main character, a major character, or even just a character in the warcraft universe. Just like you'd have to be retarded to argue the same for Minecraft's (former) default skin.
Except it does? Leave the basement once and again, Banjoke. You really are out of touch...
*ahem*
I care about Steve getting in. I want actually unique and interesting fighters to be added.
I hope they put up a poster of one of the old 3D renders, I'd buy that for my room in a heartbeat.
>I want actually unique and interesting fighters to be added.
>Block link with a cancer keepaway mechanic
So original
Dirtblock and creeper faces are the symbols for Minecraft. Why would you have a console shaped like Steve’s head when you can have one look much better and realistic as a dirt block? Stop deluding yourself.
I don’t see any consoles in the ahape of Banjo’s head. Or any consoles based on him or his series at all!
>Steveposting begins
>Poster count plateaus
Every time
>smash is a japanese game
doesn't mean fire emblem should get half a dozen reps.
I genuinely think Dragon Quest is the biggest omission right now. It's hugely influential and has strong ties to Nintendo. It just doesn't feel complete without it being represented.
Probably because minecraft isn’t an MMO that has no main character? Stop making false equivalencies. If steve weren’t a character, he wouldn’t have been given a name, like how your night elf does not have a name.
This figure from last year is about the same price as a basic Xbone my guy
based
I believe Wario deserves another rep, and someone like Ashley seems the most sensible for that position.
Here, you can use this collage I made for future discussions if you want. Feel free to add to it too.
Objectively, Ryu Hayabusa, Phoenix Wright, and a Rhythm Heaven rep should be in.
Last icon of the NES left out, and two much needed DS reps.
The lack of any rhythm heaven content is strange. You'd think at the bare minimum we'd at least have an assist trophy/item from it.
Yikes! Says the one who wants furry mario!
>Phoenix Wright
>DS
What?
That’s because they know only the 1000 or so banjofags that exist anymore will buy it for whatever price they post.
God i really hate you
Stevey stevey cope and seethey
>Rhythm Heaven
>DS
What?
Good, the last thing I'd want is a degenerate refusteve anywhere near my life.
Craft yourself a rope and become an hero
DS only has Lucario because the DS literally didn't start ANY major franchises worth including, it was just a place where a lot of them did really well.
Ace Attorney and Rhythm Heaven just flourished there, they didn't start there. Both started on the GBA, If I recall correctly in Japan Ace Attorney was actually on some other weird platform from the get-go as well as Nintendo's GBA actually.
>google theory is true
>both doomchads and banjobros get in
>blockheads left to rot
Blessed timeline if it happens
Keep coping banjoke. Steve is in.
Doomguy + Banjo and Kazooie would be the most fucking insane E3 of all time.
Pretty much every single undesirable in the Smash community would be irrevocably BTFO'd and silenced in one go.
Quick question, what is this google theory and why are people believing it?
How would every undesirable be btfod if Banjo got in? His fans make up like 90% of all undesirables.
Stevey stevey cope and seethey
Exactly my point. I never said what characters I would want and yet immediately you talk like some elementary school bully.
Even better, Erdrickfags gets obliterated and erased from this world forever. We're truly in a blessed timeline.
For me, its Banjo & Kazooie.
You never mentioned which characters you want because you care more about characters not getting in you degenerate little antifag
I don't care about what character do or don't get in either, i'm just wondering how Banjo getting in would btfo "undesirables" when most of the most childlike and obnoxious fans are the ones posting in support of him.
*AHEM*
Steveposting is just a front for asspained characterfags who's most wanted is second bananas or already got passed over for one reason or another, and want to vent their asspain but not put their most wanted character in the line of fire. Because they couldn't at all handle their most wanted getting shit on as hard as they shit on everyone else's.
They want Banjo to lose because they want the more popular/likely option that they're most wanted is "competing" with to lose as well. Because the best they can hope for is a proxy victory. They know they can't get their character so they desire to metaphorically slap the ball out of somebody else's hands to cope.
Cowardice, asspain, and jealousy are the defining traits of the refusteve.
And what is this google theory?
>when most of the most childlike and obnoxious fans are the ones posting in support of him.
You can't be doing anything but baiting right now when we have objective proof of a round the clock steve shitposting discord.
No matter what your fee fees say, it's objectively the peak and majority source of degeneracy in Smash discussion.
I just hope whoever gets in is good
My theory is that Stevefags were ancient Waluigifags.
Nah the whole thing got kicked off by rectal ravaged ashley trashleys
