she is the most popular indie character on japan, if shovel knight didn't get in then reimu is the obvious choice for a indie rep
>muh only popular on japan

Why would Nintendo want an indie character?
Charles Reed
Jane is Shantae
Not Jill.
Not Ayane.
Not Asuka.
Not Reimu.
After the Smash logo appeared in the Shantae 5 teaser, I'm convinced that is our ponytailed fighter.
I cant fucking stand this. Those four characters are way better than fucking Shantae.

She's already in

thats...very odd to see.

Jane was originally a Joker costume going by the datamine
Shantae's window always looked like that
Isaiah Baker
This is a good point sabin has been proven reliable too the point Nintendo tried to C&D them at one point for that shit, and touhou stuff was leaked by sabi. Could be true, and it would prove that rumor that the president of NOJ is a reimufag.
Aaron Hernandez
Why do people see “Thing(s) character/series has in relation to Nintendo”, when Cloud and Joker got in?
It’s even worse when Black Mage and Jack Frost could have easily gotten in as their respective reps, but they decided to use the characters that hardly relate to Nintendo.
Xavier Smith
>touhou stuff was leaked by sabi

The Fireden leak means nothing
People were already hoping on Banjo getting in
It mentioned Erdrick instead of Hero
We already knew 11 was gonna be on the Switch as early as when it was still called the NX

DQXI ends up being Erdrick at the end of the game.

With literally no news of its release date until this year.
Bentley Adams
If the "leak" is legit, it would've likely been from someone who would know Nintendo's upcoming games
AKA people who wouldn't necessarily know the future Smash DLC line up
Dominic Wood
I never said DQ was popular in the west i’m saying ATLEAST some people know the series from the dumbass dragon ball comparisons. literally no one knows what the fuck touhou is besides fat weebs

>touhou is also insanely big on japan
Not as big as you thin it is, I've been to Reitaisai this year, and outside of people there, barely anyone knows what a "touhou" is, some of the people I talked to didn't evn know what shmup (STG) was. I even showed them pics of characters/gameplay and they didn't recognize it, the average japanese guy doesn't know what touhou is.

I've seen Touhou on TV here too, doesn't mean everyone in Europe knows it.

Let's say Reimu does get into Smash, and is given the Castlevania treatment of 30 songs. Which ones would you pick? 30 songs is one from every game with two left over. Here's my list.
>Eternal Shrine Maiden
>Hakurei ~ Eastern Wind
>Complete Darkness
>Alice Maestra
>Infinite Being
>The Grimoire of Alice
>Border of Life
>Necrofantasia
>Missing Power
>Voyage 1969
>Lunatic Princess
>Sleepless Night of the Eastern Country
>Retrospective Kyoto
>The Gensokyo the Gods Loved
>Heartfelt Fancy
>Nuclear Fusion
>Hartmann's Youkai Girl
>Emotional Skyscraper
>Unknown X
>Magus Night

>Eternal Transient Reign
>Lost Occultism
>Pure Furies
>Immortal Red Soul

I like this characterization, though her armpits smell just as bad as smash players.
Robert Rogers
i do love ashley but come on, reimu is 100x more popular then a wario spin-off character
i really want to see a smash remix of this song

i never said those things aren't diverse, im talking about adding indie characters
>Lets also forget there are 2 JRPG protagonists and 2 cartoony platform characters as the DLC so far
what ? aren't there only 3 fighters ?

Don't tell anyone I said that though.
Nolan Allen
>Limited releases
>Selling out at a convention for fans of the series
WOW WHO WOULD EVER SEE THAT COMING?
Especially with how Japan is about limited releases for anything. That's a guaranteed way to move product because people will but it solely for purpose of owning a limited item.
Christopher Cox
Keep doing what you're doing.
Tyler Anderson
It's not going to be either of them or anything from Touhou. Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional and/or retarded.
Aaron Hernandez
Having Reimu in would be cool but as a Marisa main I don't know if I can handle seeing her sent to assist purgatory
Ethan Cook
>wanting yokai hitler in smash
Joseph Evans
That means fucking nothing. We've had plenty of Western games show up in the news before and barely had the country even knows what they are. Welcome to the news dumbass. It's pretty typical for them to bring up obscure culture shit in slow news days because they think it's word and don't know what the fuck it is and want to talk about how weird it is. And guess what, the rest of the nation usually agrees.
Gavin Long

>We've had plenty of Western games show up in the news before and barely had the country even knows what they are

We've had a monarch who has personally squeezed towns dry of their funds and either conscripted or murdered pretty much anyone else not on his side since Melee. Reimu is a borderline sidegrade.

he isn't, but he is a based man that understand sexualities aren't important and thats why he (since the PC-98 games) doesn't talk about the characters sexualities

Reimu has been a lesbian since the 2nd game
Lincoln Diaz
Ian Scott
i do headcanon reimu as being a huge faggot, but PC-98 reimu is very different from current reimu isn't she ?
Dominic Taylor
Nah she's too fightsexual, she literally whoops everyone's collective asses on a whim, hell one of the main reasons for spellcard rules is specifically so she doesn't go on a PC-98 type of rampage and kill 2/3rds of gensokyo.
Austin Davis
Yukari is Reimu's wife and mother.
Gavin Reed
>i will never be defeat by reimu in battle and then get raped by her
it hurts bros
Liam Foster
Reimu keeps calling Yukari "mommy" while having sex and is making Yukari uncomfortable
Samuel Clark
How about we split the difference on the Smash faggotry and the next Tasofro game is a platform fighter like Smash.
Luke Ortiz
Sounds better than the float fightans already
Nathaniel Morgan
I would be down with that. 2hu already has enough material for its own game anyways.
Xavier Cox
I'm pretty sure they're gonna drop the floating thing for the next game regardless.

There can be no love between the same sex.

but he's talking about muh multiculturalism for some reason instead
does he want to ruin japan or what
does he not understand the buddhist and folklore references are there because theyre unique to japan
Lucas Anderson
Who said anything about love? This is about lust.

Why hello, Yea Forums, it is I, Fortune Teller, here to remind you that I will be taking part in Super Smash Brothers Ultimate as a new DLC character!
But Fortune Teller, you say, why would Sakurai pick you? Well, Sakurai, fearing the West's backlash at letting a bloodthirsty, murderous maiden or the other scandalous bloomer harlots into a children's game, decided to pick Touhou's most popular male character, who is, of course, me! I am excited to begin my new life, free of the chains of humanity and Gensokyo, as a Smash Brother!
Sebastian Ross

Cameron Barnes

I don't understand Sakuya x Alice, though.
