Name ONE (1) iconic monster in the series besides the slimes

A child is gonna like a swordsman over some literally who monster. You know... the target audience?

the dragon design was always cool

I started playing the DQ games after the direct and I can't really think of anything a slime could do. Maybe bounce? It'd look cool, but that's why we have a Slime AT.

With the Heroes we arguably have the first true JRPG character, in that they represent the genre in having Mana points and a command box.

wouldn´t a child rather want to get the chance to plays as a huge guy with a club instead of yet just another normal sized sword guy who uses items?

>>one of the oldest rpgs ever
Just like Halo is one of the oldest FPS.

>a smash tread died for thi..
oh wait

bro if you think Cyclops should represent the series instead of some of it’s most popular heroes is seriously don’t know what the fuck to tell you. It was Slime or the Hero. no one else.

you mean the first JRPG ever? How is it anything but one of the oldest? There are definitely older western rpgs but those have always been more niche.

King slime

>not being happy that DQ getting Smash Representation TO BEGIN WITH can help boost the chances of future games getting localized even more, especially the Console DQM where you'll be able to utilize those countless iconic monsters

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY RANDOM MOOKS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

What iconic monsters? Slimes? Those are just kinda meh. I couldn't name a single other one. Just because your series is old or the first doesn't mean it is good.

Ghost. But honestly, I'd rather it was Yangus or Taloon, or something like that. At this rate, Smash Ultimate might as well be called Super Smash Bros. Sword.

if you've ever played dragon warrior monsters you would know the designs are iconic

based

a monster would be better, just because normal fags don't know shit about how great gaming was doesn't mean we should tailor everything for retards

Golem.

There are rocket slime spinoffs, basically slime stretches himself and uses this elasticity to launch at enemy and attack.
They also cast spells in every game.
There is room for a lot of other things, too. Having slime Knight show up on top of slime to attack.
Final Smash is such a gimme, 5 other slimes show up and they combine into a King Slime.

I think Hero is great, just wish he for his normals wasn't a link clone.

slime fags are worse than chadrick steve shitposters

Play Jokers 3 if you want to play as monsters.

Maybe someday they'll add Nethack to Smash.

They just need more magic based characters.

Terra from FF6 would have been perfect, her form change could have been a mechanic and that its a snes game and all that. One of the more loved FF games. Really really sucks it wasnt picked and cloud got in .

> literally "the Hero"
and he uses a sword? oh yeah that really stands out and isn't generic at all

You and the MHfags that say cats should be in because they represent the series better are absolute chodes.

>the target audience?
Children aren't the target audience of Smash.

>They just need more magic based characters
Hero is a magic based character

Anything that wasn't another bloody swordsman woulda been kino.
Actually, now that I think of it, having Slime could work if it was specificly Rocket () along with temporarily extant monster allies for most attacks, and maybe the Schleimann tank for the FS.

Actually, anyone else think the new Final Smashes were kind of underwhelming?

no one gives a shit about literal who protagonists, they could be named Billy Bob, the game is about the monsters, always has been

>DQ threads will be full of Smashfags, and worse, Stevefags.

Golem
Chimera
Cyclops
Hammerhood
Walking Corpse
Dracky
Killing Machine
Living Statue
Cactiball
Moosifer/Barbatos

all really standout designs, easy to picture in my head... when I think of other RPG the designs for such normal monsters are painfully generic and expected.

More like how Doom is one of the oldest FPS. Doomguy deserves to get in, too

seriously doesn´t dragons quest have different classes like fighter monk, wizard, etc?
why not use somebody like that instead of just another sword guy?
how many people who use one handed swords does smash even have at this point?

wtf dog, the series was always good it just wasn't popular in the states, you have it completely backwards

Prinarily a swordsman, his command deck thing is his gimmick and gives him projectiles. We dont have too many fighters that rely solely on magic like a palutena or zelda

Because the series only has 1 rep. They're not going to pick a side character to be the sole representative for an iconic franchise you moron, they're going to use the main fucking character

I'm not even disagreeing with you about swords but you're being retarded

This time its a sword and board dude.
Either way, its the easiest character to incorporate all the protags as, since like, they are all the protags of the series...

Main characters before side characters

my dream scenario would have been a slime Character who "summons" a different monster for each attack.
like the golem for heavy attacks, or the dragon for range attacks, etc

>projectiles
And melee moves(kacrackle slash)
Reflector(Bounce)
Invincibility(Kaclang)
Attack buffs(Oomph, Psyche Up)
Status effects(Snooze)
and a suicide(Kamikazee)
