If Banjo is in, then that means they're using this list as a guide. Which means... Shantae is a shoe in.
Paper Mario and Waddle are first party characters, and will lack any buzz for inclusion. Remember, this is paid DLC. They will be added to the roster of the next Smash game for free.
well all those characters are in the game but not playable. say bye bye to your fanmade polls
That’s bullshit, but anything that gives me reason to hope for Wonder-Red is alright in my book.
Shantae is spirit-cucked.
Phoenix Wright is next.
>Isaac
>#1 in US/EU
Bullshit.
For reference everyone crossed is either playable, spirit, AT or in the case of Sora, yet another SE character when there are already two.
>Shantae is a shoe in
Wish actually interesting and pleasing characters were shoe-ins...
>isaac
>not felix
GS 1 was shit
too easy and too short
>Shantae
I cant believe the actual fanbase this game has.
Shes got like 2 actually good games
Can't speak for US, but he's definitely #1 in EU. He tops most polls in France and Germany
Felix can get in as an echo
Banjo got in because he was popular among americans while Hero was popular among the Japanese.
Chances are there wont be any other characters chosen from popularity.
Yeah, Jibanyan seems like a serious candidate. (Maybe a trailer with Pikachu & his Jojo / Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken move)
Luminary is both a fan pick and a shill pick, it was a very easy decision for Nintendo.
All spirited, assisted, and costumed characters crossed out
The true hero.
Great minds think alike
Fucking Rosterfags
Do your niggers even sleep?
Literally no reason to not have based Chadlix as a skin if he gets in.
Soul
Soulless
When US rosterfags go to sleep, EU rosterfags start posting and vice versa.
So Arle and Wright then?
Wonder Red would be awesome.
Dante and Leon S. Kennedy.
SCREENCAP THIS POST!
>its shoo-in not shoe in you fucking moron.
Further proving youre a retard
>"The Smash DLC will be entirely new to Smash just like Joker from Persona 5" - Reggie at the 2018 Game Awards.
All the dlc characters have been exactly that, never included in smash in any way right down to the franchise they come from. Your stupid list there is full of spirits, etc.
Yokai watch originated as a manga before it was a vidya game.
Cross that out.
oh no no noo
Yokai watch originated as a manga before it was a video game.
Add Goku faggot.
Who conducted this? Did they just forget about Crash?
Banjo
>Rival console IP returns home.
Crash
>Sony's former mascot of the 90's playable in smash. Sonic vs Mario vs Crash. Epic.
Agumon
>First ever Digimon & Pokemon crossover. Historic. World first.
It's time to turn this case over.
Sora, phoenix wright, and arle huh...
Autistic rosterfags before most of the ones with shit taste got decimated
Literally most of these fuckers got spirit'd or trophy'd
Only because the game was delayed.
Any polls choices are meaningless until the next game. More fan favorite assist trophy / Mii costume upgrades will happen if they also scored high on the ballot.
Things that could maybe help your character get in or upgraded to playable.
>Was an assist trophy + had a Mii costume + fan favorite (Isabelle)
>Was an assist trophy before (Little Mac, Dark Samus)
>Had at least a Mii costume and a fan favorite (K. Rool, Chrom)
>Their game series had many spirits
Random Sakurai quotes.
>"DLC could say shortening the life span of its franchise. For Smash those characters could join in next time."
>"If it’s a one time purchase type of game, then it’s more efficient for the company to start making the next game than keep updating."
>"He is not thinking of doing Smash ballot again. It was used in Smash Ultimate’s development very much."
So if your character was high on any polls after the official ballot was done then that doesn't mean much since Sakurai most likely won't care if you voted for them for the next game since they can continue using the data from the last one until they need to have a new ballot.
>Jibanyan "The Pokémon Killer" gets in right as Pokémon is in the process of killing itself
P O T T E R Y
I honestly believe this could happen now. Nintendo have been infinitely more based with their DLC picks than Sakurai was.
Incorrect.
>Pokémon is in the process of killing itself
The new game will sell like hotcakes no matter how shitty it is.
Digimon would be better since it actually originated as a vidya game. But yokai fags are next level autists
Why would the director of Digimon Survive say this?
Im thinkin he's innnnnnn
Geno
Wonder red
Can we talk about the fact that Bandai Namco made Smash, still only has one rep from the previous installment, and its mii costumes are still missing. (Segas were added back with Joker).
Agubros rise up.
That's because he's in. I lied it's actually Lloyd who's in.
how it is your flash game bro?
Spirits don't mean shit until it's confirmed!
thanks for the cold coffee
Piranha Plant didn't have a spirit until after being confirmed
Shantae isn't getting in
Piss off, an all third-party DLC pass would be a complete time-wasting failure.
t. not a Deefag.
No one wants your boring tranny character. Phoenix will be the next character
And yet it's absolutely what you're getting.
On his way out the door, Reggie specifically said Joker was emblematic of what to expect from the Challenger Pack. It's also been announced that all Challengers are getting the same 'this is someone from another dimension' Guidance that Joker got, i.e. someone with no existing connection to the Smash universe.
Face it, the Challenger Pack is 100% third-party town.
As an aside, is Hero getting any remixes or is S-E going to be a tight-ass over the music as they were with Cloud?
>If Banjo is in, then that means they're using this list as a guide.
Why?
Kirby and Zelda reps wouldn't even be considered if the pass was all first party. It would just be more shilling. Do you really want stuff like Byleth and another humanoid starter Pokemon?
Banjo-Kazooie and Dragon Quest are beloved classics that were born on Nintendo. They feel right at home in Smash. Same with Mega Man and Castlevania.
They are using the list as a guide,it just doesn't mean that they're gonna be playable characters. most of them ended up as spirits or assist trophies.
I'm calling Dante. DMC1 has been re-released for the Switch so there's cross-promotion there.
I wanna play video games the video game
Seeing my favorite video game series get represented and remixed music/graphics is more fun than some guy’s shitty character quota
>rosterfags
>implying people crying about rosterfags dont have a shit ton of swordsman reps lined up
Lloyd's returning as a Mii costume just like Tails did.
Reggie said the dlc would be entirely new to Smash just like Joker. Lloyd has been featured in smash previously as well as his franchise. So far all dlc has been entirely new without so much as their franchises being previously featured or mentioned. Its likely to continue.
It has to be new to generate buzz. Rememder, these are paid DLC they want people to spend money on. This isn't free updates. Free updates will be later for boring characters.
DLC has all been all new to Smash. Just like Joker. Just as Reggie said.
Fuck off patternfag
I think were getting one more third party character. Maybe a Dark Souls rep or monster hunter.
Then the last slot will be something truly unexpected. Maybe masterhand or tabuu or something weird like that to cap off smash
why is the shantaefag so riled up
Tales of and new Mach Rider
The only characters capable of creating a buzz akin to Banjo...
1) Crash being Sony's former mascot and Nintendo's cnsole rival alongside Sonic. Would be epic.
2) Agumon... First time ever Digimon and Pokemon cross paths.
3) Goku. Highly requested. Highly popular. Also not a video game character. Being put in as the character to rep nonvidya originals would be ground breaking news. Plus it would make sense to get a fighting character... Segas mii fighter costumes have been held back probably for a release alongside fighting character dlc.
Wouldn’t be surprised if there isn’t much remade music, the composer for DQ is a complete autist about it.
Dante is a shoe in. Trust me. 5 just came out, and DMC is coming to the Switch.
Yo-kai Watch did originate as a video game.
>trailer comes out
>all the hype as Goku is revealed
>trailer seems to end, everyone calms down
>new enemies come out to attack Goku
>Suddenly they get vaporized
>Goku looks back, it's Sailor Moon with Tuxido Kamen as assist trophy
The hype would destroy the planet.
Nobody gives a shit about digimon anymore grandpas
>b-but the pokemon rivalry
Pokemon never had any rival
I want Gokufags to leave
Dante is basically like the Sora of
Capcom
>Has been deconfirmed by the creator
>Will probably be shafted for the more popular and better selling game (Resident evil is DQ)
>His only real evidence is fan demand and it isn't even as much as Sora had
>Apart of a bunch of fake leaks every time a direct rolls by
Keep hoping Dmcbros but I don't think they'll pick him over resident evil
So...let's reap souls:
>Isaac is an Assist Trophy, a Mii Swordfighter costume and a Spirit
>Banjo and Kazooie in
>Bandana Dee is a Spirit
>So are Shantae, Geno, Magolor, Dixie, Wonder Red, Rayman, Captain Toad, any Custom Robo rep, Shadow, Viridi and Micaiah
>Sora being deconfirmed by Team Dragon Quest
We only have left Jibanyan, Phoneix Wright, Arle Nadja and Layton. Considering 2 of them are only gentlemen who don't fight in their home games (Wright in MvC3 doesn't count as genuine fighting since he breaks the fourth wall) and Arle seems too weird of a rep.
Jibanyan is the only one left here that makes sense and even then I'd want either him, Doomguy or a Konami rep just to get that fucking Bomberman Mii Costume.
You're correct, but they're in the middle of an unprecedented shitstorm right now. I think it'll probably drop at least a few million units from this if Game Freak don't shape up.
Phoenix Wright will be the next shill pick.
>Isaac
F
>Layton
>Doesn't fight in his home games.
Try harder.
Spotted the newfag
>Phoenix Wright
>shill pick
Lmao
Phoenix absolutely does count. He can break the fourth wall in Smash as well? Not that it's even necessary
Curious how popular Reimu was in JP ballot
>Arle Nadja
She's in
If we can get what five, DQ skins,(Which I'm stoked about) there's no reason we can't get both Felix and Isaac. MAYBE the MC for Dark Dawn, but I'd like to pretend that never happened.
>removing all assists and spirits leaves only Sora(though he's BTFO by Hero), Arle, Jibanyan,Phoenix and Layton
Yup, they're in
>Arle seems too wierd as a rep
>saying this when a ROB, a literal toy turned into a mech robot is in
>unironically saying this when she has an entire RPG series worth of fighting experience
