I could be flat out wrong about this, but I think the 4th DLC could be based on a developer request in the same vein as Snake and Pac-Man. Personally, I want it to be Travis.
Sorry lad, Joker took up the space available for guns. And I mean he even has dante's bullet rain attack. Joker has pretty much ruined dante's chances of being in smash.

Please Daddy Sakurai. Let him be in and I will never ask for anything ever again.
Can't wait for the next season of Roster Fagging bros
This is infinitely better than when everyone thought the DLC was going to be Sylux/Poochy/Adeleine/etc.
No it's not.
God, I hate it. Dragonborn makes sense from a gameplay perspective, all the possible shouts make a moveset pretty easy to come up with, but Dovahkiin has no character at all. He's like Steve, a complete blank slate. Skyrim is the worst game in its series from a lot of angles, it's 8 years old and I hope that if one of the slots is Bethesda, they went with something a little more historically important.
Following that logic, Banjo took the space for 90s 3d platformer mascots who only wear pants.
You know what I mean
shut the fuck up and stop making us look bad faggot.

I actually checked it
They had different IDs
logsoku.com
If there's something I don't know about 5ch, please let me know
Reimu makes perfect sense if they're aiming for weebs and otaku who would buy a Switch, Smash Bros and the DLC just for the fact that there's Touhou content in Smash.
Nintendo wants all the money, after all.
She will be in
Stay mad otisfag
That maybe true, but than again, anything goes in smash.
I wouldn't throw in the towel quite yet anons. I'd say he has quite a chance considering he's the type of character Sakurai would pick + he's friends with Shu irl + Nintendo would probably choose such a Nintendo supportive character.
He's pretty much in direct competitive mode with Dante, Leon, or Monster Hunter though.
Apparently there are two ID's.
Thread poster ID to keep track of what the poster posted on that thread, and another ID that identifies the poster.
The first part of the poster ID does match, the "ドコグロ MM" part.
I can dream
yeah that's why I've given up hope though user despite his history and connection to nintendo and capcom being likely to get a dlc character he has to compete with Dante, Leon or Jill, and Monster Hunter all of which I believe are more likely. I just really hope that sakurai goes against the grain and throws out the capcom curveball that would be Nick because I want him in smash more than anyone else.
>The first part of the poster ID does match, the
>"ドコグロ MM" part.
I don't see it
Is a 5ch only thing that Logsoku doesn't see?
5ch is blocked in Burgerland so I resorted to Logsoku
sorta unrelated and may be considered a shill, but is my gmod vid based or cringe
Here are the screenshots of the original posts.
It's a 5ch thing.
interesting, can you compare them to other posts to prove that this ID is unique that meaning they are the same person?
apologies for being a bother but I demand proof
Why the fuck is there a sudden rivalry between Crash and Doomguy? They don't even cover the same niche.
I think it has to do with people assuming we can only have one more western rep in the game given Sakurai being worried about the language barrier regarding Banjo, chances are he wouldn't risk 3/5 of the DLC going through a process he has no familiarity with
people are just obsessed with the us vs them mentality, you're either with us or you're against us and rooting for another character and hate your character
it was first Steve and Banjo, then became Leon vs Phoenix, now Crash vs Doomguy. Who will be next? Think of two random characters and that'll be it.
there was also some beef between possible Bamco characters as well
Remember that image he posted?
Its gone now
Even the imgur link is dead
Still got it here.
I feel like the editing for some of the clips is a bit sloppy and some parts drag on for too long but it's fine aside from that
Even if it was a pretty run-of-the-mill video and I didn't really find much in it funny it's still better than most of the shit posted in these god fucking awful Smashfaggotry threads
This is the post where he said it's Seirensen.
Based, I also want my boy in
The worst of times are when lawyers have to force their biggest smiles.
I meant show a post that isn't his to prove that the poster ID is unique to him
What was it anyways?
I used Google translate and from what I can make out, he stopped because he didn't want to be arrested or something
hes in
at least Leon and Phoenix are from the same company. This new shit is fucking retarded
What stage would you want user? I figured Uraya made sense since it has a pretty iconic look and shows up early on so as to avoid spoilers.
I suppose but I honestly feel like it was 90% false flagging for someone who just wanted to pick a side
That should be simple enough.
Also about the image, I'm just quoting someone else.
>I don't think the pic is related to smash.
>He uploaded it to show how loose things are there. This image is leaked from someone working with Touhou officials.
thanks mate
>Touhou officials
>officials
Isn't it just ZUN?
Other than ZUN, there's Tasofro for the fighting games and some publishers he works with for the publication of fangames on consoles so he can get his fair share from his IP, namely PLAYISM and UNTIES.
That would be cool or maybe something like traveling across all the titans
ZUN is the core developer, but he has some staff help out with licensing, etc.
what could the image be for?
Ideally, a storyboard of her Smash animations.
Realistically, storyboard for another Tasofro game or unrelated fangame.
Is it weird to be hyped for the animated reveal trailer? All the Ultimate ones have been at least 8/10's so far.
Touhou is also pretty damn popular in China and guess where Nintendo's releasing the Switch soon?
Fan games go through that?
>muh china
You pulled this shit to argue for mai too
Fuck off
Never thought Mai was in the running. if SNK's getting a rep it's fucking Terry.
If Nintendo wanted to appeal to chinks they'd put in Teemo from League of Legends or some other MOBA shit
Nope, Terry's already in Fighting EX Layer. If any SNK rep were in Smash, it would be Kyo.
Forget your SNK rep, we'll get a Koei Tecmo rep
>SFM porn girl along with Doomboy
Yikes!

Fuck yeah we'll get Kasumi!
CERO!
Still no idea who Cero is but keep pushing your literall who

>5ch AoCF Switch leaker mentions Reimu, Yukari, Sanae and Kanako in Smash
Look, I'm a massive Reimufag but this idiot shot himself in the foot since
1)Kanako would be nothing like Yukari
2)It's incredibly unlikely that Sanae would get support from Kanako without Suwako
Unless we're talking about simple color schemes and not alternate skins, it's just not happening
Dunno what post was but nigga...

Better than these weeb characters that no one who's ever had a job has ever heard about

if you think Geno is the most likely you are a genuine retard.
Incredibly likely - Chris/Jill, Chosen Undead
Good chance - Dante, Hayabusa
Moderate chance - Doom Slayer, Leon, Crash, Goemon, Terry, Alex Kidd, Bond, Reiko Nagase
Poor chance - Indie shit, zoomer shit
No way - Anime except Lum
I think he is the 3rd most likely. Isn't 1 supposed to be the most while 3 is least?
I haven’t followed these threads in awhile. Are there new rumors?
There's been a few rumors going around about alex being in the fighter's pass, don't know how legitimate it is though.
The only concrete rumor I've heard of is of a pic of a black dude in casual clothes making it in as a slot. Don't know the character though.

Oh no no no no
why do you need this thread multiple times a day every single day
why is he naked?

I unironically would want King Boo, it's a shame that this season pass seems to be gearing for third party characters.
Please tell me we have a ghost type character that fits into the third party criteria AND it's popular.
Are they meant to have the exact same Up B?
He's in
>complaining about cereal mascots
Nintendo’s mascot is a literal cereal mascot. I still think Doom guy would be great.
>codename pony hair
>Codename Jane
>Two leakers reporting a female fighting game character.
>Koei Tecmo making Hyrule Warriors, Fe Warriors, three houses, mua3
She's fucking in.
She's a strange choice when you consider that Ryu Hayabusa would have a better connection to Nintendo with the classic Ninja Gaiden games, but considering Koei Tecmo basically said in an interview that they want to put Kasumi in over him sort of adds to her chances.
I'm indifferent to her, as long as my boy Doomguy gets in I don't give a fuck if Steve himself is the fifth fighter I'll be happy.
>She's a strange choice
I don't see why, since she's the mascot of KT
It's no different that Konami putting Snake in before the Belmonts
True enough. I only think it's strange because Ryu is more 'Nintendo' than Kasumi, but they may want her in because she's more relevant than him in their eyes. I dunno, man.
Dead or Alive 6 will be getting a switch port at the end of the year after the DLC for DoA6 is fully released. It'll be a definitive edition and she'll be a Koei Tecmo shill character. She's smash 5's Bayonetta.
I am confident that Kasumi will be character #5 in the Smash DLC. Just as Smash 4's DLC ended on a low note, so will Smash Ultimate. An overtly sexualized boring literal who female shill character would be pare for the course for Nintendo.
Funny. I have the same feeling that she will be pushed in as the #4 character, so they can end with a bang.
Why are people obsessed with characters that might be DLC on a Children's party game?
>this thread
Reimu more like reimwho?
Convince me why Reimu wouldn't be a great addition to the game.
Then kys
Doomguy, Leon or Jill, and Porky Minch as a bonus fighter.
It 100% was, most Leon/Phoenix fans are completely fine with either option because both are fun characters.
Touhou is too good for Smash.
Reimu doesn't make much sense to me as a pick. None of the mainline games are on Nintendo consoles nor is there evidence they will be, Touhou is relatively unknown outside of Japan, and Nintendo hasn't seemed interested in pushing the Touhou games they DO have on their systems. I know some people say that they might be negotiating with ZUN to bring more games to the system, but you can make that same argument for almost anyone. I just personally don't find it likely
I want another FE character.
Touhou has a big character-driven audience that hasn't had much of a reason to buy a Switch or Smash yet. It's the perfect candidate for a DLC character.
But like, you could make that same argument with League of Legends too is my point here. There's no evidence that Nintendo has tried to work with ZUN. Even Banjo has Nintendo and Microsoft actively working together before the announcement, we heard of xbox live on Switch long before Banjo
Yeah, a perfect DLC candidate for that specific niche of people who likely will not shell out ~$360 for a character from mostly free games. Nintendo is smart enough to not waste dev time on a character that most of its audience won’t recognize or even know about.
you are Fucking Gay
It'd certainly catch everyone off guard since everyone has wrote him off due to the chances of a 2nd SE rep being unlikely (yeah I know he's technically owned by Disney but he's still associated with SE)
But I like me some surprises so I'm down for having another shitstorm
MY NIGGA
There's no room left, Maybe next time Lloydfags, Oh, sorry you're another character. Still, No room
I really want Sora in the game. I do acknowledge that Hero made him unlikely, but I still have my fingers crossed
I want the slayer and the slasher.
BIG FAT REMINDER IF REIMU GETS IN.
Jill is more likely than you, Leon
Lmao.
Sora's my dream pick, but if Leon gets in I'd be equally happy
Here's hoping Leonbro
>No way fag
>Turns and runs away
Kinda funny, admittedly
This. Hell even stuff like LoL, Dota and Overwatch would be more plausible since it's more known over the world instead of one very closed fanbase in the east. (Not that I want any of those games to be represented)
Add to it that Touhou is a fangame. It's doesn't even make tv-advertising or web-advertising. Most people wouldn't even recognize any of the characters since they haven't been in iany type of contact with them. Even though the fanbase is huge, it's a completely closed niche.
>Touhou is a fangame
No, it's an indie game series.
>It's doesn't even make tv-advertising or web-advertising
Quite a few Touhou fangames got advertised for the Switch, one being on Nintendo's official English Youtube channel, and an official game is coming to the Switch fairly soon.
>Most people wouldn't even recognize any of the characters
Spend some time on the internet and you would've come in contact with several touhou related memes by now.
Also, Joker and Hero.
>Even though the fanbase is huge, it's a completely closed niche
Touhou can easily be well received by weebs and otaku. Touhou is not that closed off of a fanbase.
Also, Joker and Hero.
also, fuck roster wars and that "spirits deconfirm" meme
>people who likely will not shell out ~$360 for a character from mostly free games
Based on what? The games are what they are because of their respective distribution platform. If the fanbase was known for being particularly stingy, companies like Good Smile Company wouldn't bother to obtain 2hu licenses, let alone release figures of the franchise all the time.
>It's doesn't even make tv-advertising or web-advertising
Cannonball and Lost Word have actual TV commercials, off the top of my head. All the games on Switch also have trailers.
>he's a shantaefag, a ashleyfag AND A LLOYDFAG
>fefag can't read
what the actual shit, can't you read or somehting? these are my least wanted, you mongoloid
With the "worldwide appeal" argument it can go both ways. Dragon Quest was never as huge in the west as it is in Japan, but if places like Yea Forums are any evidence, smash is a damn good vehicle for advertisement, so even people who aren't already fans can still feel inclined into trying them out and become new fans, pushing sales on both new games for the system and the DLC. Something like this could easily happen with 2hu in the west. People meme about the difficulty but they are actually pretty easy to get into
One argument against 2hu as a possible pick though is the lack of a push on Nintendo's end. Shilling AoCF and the fangames would be a good start, but they don't seen to be doing so at the moment.
Nigga get yo eyes checked
Too be fair least wanted is still a forming of wanting. It should read unwanted.
>Doomfags want a lame censored version of their character that'll fit into an E10+ rating
>Reimufags want smashbaby secondaries to shit up their fanbase into the ground
Wow characterfags are getting masochistic this time around
gameplay wise is there anything interesting she offers to the table?
i thought the least wanted combined with the assist trophy pic meant he didn't want them stuck as a spirit/assist, my b
No
The western fanbase is already shit because people get into the series through porn and 10 year old IOSYS videos, quickly becoming secondaries who don't give a shit about the games. Smash would unironically be a better entry level because it would at least stick to canon and give a better idea of what the franchise is all about.
As the one singer once said:
Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody has those days.
Japanese players are not stingy like americans that are used to pirating games. If they enjoy something, no matter if it comes from a free or paid game or series, they'll spend mad money on the merch.
What, you think the Touhou fanbase isn't already filled with secondaries? At least some of the people who get into it via Smash might actually play the games.
I'm putting my money on Doom Slayer and either Leon or Ryu Hayabusa as the last reps.
FUCK HAYABUSA
FUCK TEKKEN
FUCK REIMU
FUCK SHANTAE
FUCK DOOMGUY
FUCK CRASH BANDICUNT
FUCK NAMCO
>generic fighting lady
yawn
>Doomguy
>Least wanted
Zoomer confirmed
Reject them, refuse them, deny them, it doesn't matter... They arrive all the same. They are inevitable... Sakurai and Nintendo decided on these characters and cannot be undone.
>I want it so its GOING TO HAPPEN
A very large chunk of the doomfags nowadays are 2016 zoomers, and "rip and tear" "man too angry to die" meme shitters.
He has a legacy, but he absolutely is a zoomer pick.
How did Kasumi suddenly become relevant to Smash rosterfaggotry? there was a decent period where the only character from Tecmo that was being name dropped was Hayabusa. Now Kasumi comes out of nowhere, is it quotafagging from expecting a female character?
Who knows what insane theories people use to justify faggotry.
Because some unproven leaker said the next DLC is gonna be a female fighting game character.
So of course it must be true.
>maifag 2.0
Just as the Kronorium predicted...
Do not leech of Leon, fag
I bet you're the guy who was always bringing up Jontron in Banjo threads before E3.
Desire plays no factor in these characters inclusion.
>Not OG Doc
Now that's just silly. It'll obviously be Nazi Dr. Richtofen, and then BJ to balance it out.
>This is what rosterfags actually believe
Oh really?
Nope, i just tells it how i sees it.
Regardless if I want them or do not want them, they are the chosen dlc. Our feelings regarding them cannot change fate. It is, so it shall be.
Me after I shoot up heroin and the stars reveal to me Rayman is the next in the fighter pass.
There is no second fighters pass.
There is however a bonus character in the same vein as Piranha plant.
It's metal Mario with the Meta Crystal stage.
Solaire's in Smash, the final character though is something you stupid fucks haven't seen coming.
If only they'd do the right thing and remove fucking Gatornigger from the game.
Nostaliga faggots should KYS asap. No one gives two shits or knows about some faggot gator from 1935 when your parents weren't divorced.
Literally should have never got in smash. Bayonetta got in because she was relevant and a recent game release, not some literal who green shit.
> inb4 muh rob muh pacman muh duck hunt muh banjo
Icon characters of different eras or mascot characters. No one gives two shits or knows about literal who the gator.
Is what I say after I smoke that sweet peyote and the spirits personally hand me the smash design documents.
This is a false statement made by a man with a penis under 6 inches. Women can barely feel him, so why should we take anything he says with merit? We shouldn't.

Small penis confirmed based on response.
Holy shit imagine getting btfo by one user's (You).
Kek
I used to be the biggest advocate for Ex-Aid getting in, but his time has passed.
Nobody knows or cares about her. If we're getting a Tecmo rep it'll be fucking RYU.
They should put in Kefka from Final Fantasy 6
user the leaks say Hayabusa is in Kasumi's final Smash...
You're full of fucking shit.
Give me one good reason why I should believe this supposed "leaker"
tecmo didn't even talk with nintendo about smash you moron
>nobody talking about the actual next fighter to be revealed
Now I'm mad! Yea Forums!
Wow, fans have made Touhou memes? That surely means that the core audience of Smash including kids, casual players, and worldwide players have heard of this nearly Japanese exclusive character! At least DQ and Persona have mainstream relevance outside of Japan.
- Leon Kennedy & Jill Valentine are alts of each other with 4 skins each.
- Raccoon City stage.
- Kasumi playable, Hayabusa appears in her final Smash.
- Bonus gag character, Metal Mario with his N64 appearance. Fighting polygon team final Smash. Meta Crystal stage.
Wrong character
Because he spoke to user through the mirror? Could a fake leaker communicate using user's own reflection?
SOURCE OR FUCK THE FUCK OFF
user, can’t you realize that this “leak” was made by the same guy who keeps spamming this to force their picks into discussion?
Fuck. I just now noticed that. I’ll fix it.
>MCU reference!
Best list by far
Now this just makes me wanna root more for Doom Slayer and Ryu.
This is the well known leak going around the insiders circle. Waiting on a few more leakers to have their sources confirm before you'll see the virginbens and sabis coming out with it publicly.
Agreed.
Who's art is this btw?
He looks almost afraid, like he's loosing control of his body or some shit
Well my mom had an affair with somebody who worked for Nintendo and I heard Toad was getting in as DLC
Just wait a week until some random youtubers confirm it, it's totally legit
That's funny, my sources have told me the Rabbids and Dig-Dug were the last two fighters. In fact I'd say it' only a matter of time till Vergeben backs me up.
>Toadfag attempting a resurgence after years of getting btfo of smash.
Pathetic.
No it isn’t, you’re making this up so people talk about your shitty picks and by extension shitty waifu
Sorry, the truth hurts. Toad and Reimu are the last two fighters.
>Rabids
Your choice in character disgusts and repulses me.
It's not my choice, it's Nintendo's. Just wait.
There, should be fixed.
>Reimu
Universal flag for being a pedo.
Kys
So what Nintendo characters do you think got snubbed, whether you actually like the character or not?
Reimu is probably older than you.
They're inevitable.
Papagenos will make a video on them tonight
Papagenos is a faggot.
>Some dumbass leaker no one cares about will vindicate me!
I scream as my car slides over the median
Lmfao
Based
Unironically isaac. I’m not a fan of the character, nor do I hate him, but it seems like he got snubbed pretty hard, even to the point of getting a mii costume AND an upgraded assist trophy. This means that sakurai is aware of his fans.
I guess Waluigi? And I'm kinda surprised no ARMS people got in
Based
>Reimu.
Will not be in super smash bros ultimate as DLC
I hate how real the vibes feel from this
.. FUCK
Everyone in the image is based except for the 3 in the middle (steve,reimu,frisk)
>A post with the most basic ideas
>FUCK... TOO REAL
Every Kirby rep that's not from a Sakurai game.
Since we know trailers can be continued, I have a suspicion that doomguy would be revealed as a continuation from the Ridley trailer where ZSS is trying her best trying to beat Ridley but is losing but before he lands the final blow he either gets shot or gets grabbed by the tail then rid looks over and boom its doomguy
This is fake for one glaring reason: too many details. When Erdrick was leaked, we only knew the character and nothing about the stages, alts, or final smash, and even then it wasn’t only Erdrick who was included. Even when Banjo was leaked so close to E3, we only knew that the character would be in with no further details. It is improbable that so many details would be leaked at one time when we know nothing else about Banjo yet other than what was in the trailer.
>Metal mario when the metal box is still in the game
Yeah, sure
Cant wait for all the Yea Forumsirgin tears when she gets announced
Spring-man for sure, I guess Nintendo gave up on ARMS pretty quickly.
>Eggchad
if only
I guarantee my normie coworkers in Dominos wouldn't know this character, which is why Joker got in and she won't.
>when your character is the anthithesis of sexiness so you turn her into a fat whore
there was a 5ch leak from march that said the dqxi protagonist was the default and dqiii hero was one of the alternates
Persona mainline isn’t on Nintendo consoles, but Joker got added. Touhou is getting a Switch release of AoCF.
Don't do this, Ashleyfags and Deefags got cocky amidst the evidence and they ate shit. I want her too but she can very easily not make it simply because of the amount of competition.
>tfw Goku would actually have potential to be fun just from all the shit he can pull from
>could bring the power pole, kamehameha and all of its variants, instant transmission, spirit bomb, dragon fist, kaioken, his dozen other transformations

Instead we'll get something disappointing.
I just want a Smough and Ornstein boss fight.
You expected Reimu but it was actually me, her totally not fake mom, Yukari!
>Persona mainline isn’t on Nintendo consoles, but Joker got added.
Yeah but they had Persona games made BY ATLUS on Nintendo consoles. And Atlus has been making games for like 30 years for Nintendo consoles. I don't think that's the same.
Byleth, except you don't actually play as him, you switch between the three protags from Three Houses like PT.
He said 70 percent could be lies but the things he heard the most were Reimu, Yukari, and Youkai buster
>measles thread
Getting real tired of you fucks pretending Touhoufags actually expect Reimu or think she's particularly likely, and not just a cautiously optimistic hope.
>Dragon Quest was never as huge in the west as it is in Japan, but if places like Yea Forums are any evidence, smash is a damn good vehicle for advertisement, so even people who aren't already fans can still feel inclined into trying them out and become new fans, pushing sales on both new games for the system and the DLC. Something like this could easily happen with 2hu in the west.
See, here's my problem with that argument for me at least. Square has been actively trying to push DQ in the west practically since the series started. The same cannot be said for Touhou. I just don't like this idea people push where they assume that Touhou has all this upcoming content for Nintendo consoles because it's popular in Japan. There's really no other evidence or basis for thinking it.
>One argument against 2hu as a possible pick though is the lack of a push on Nintendo's end.
Yeah and this really is something I cant stress enough. Nintendo doesn't seem remotely interested in pushing Touhou outside of Japan. I just can't believe that they'll wait 'till Touhou is announced to start pushing it then
>expecting any fighters from Capcom or Konami in the DLC

ZUN showed interest in expanded overseas but he never went as far as making official localizations for unknown reasons. Fans do make their own translations so it could be that.
I am hoping we get to see the AoCF port being at least acknowledged during a direct or indie event.

Alright fags
Do you think we're getting a second fighters pass or not, and if so, why?
>ZUN showed interest in expanded overseas but he never went as far as making official localizations for unknown reasons.
Well yeah, user that's kinda my point. ZUN may have expressed interest in that, but I don't take the lack of any official localizations as proof that he's planning to make a bunch of Switch ports. It just feels like an enormous leap.
I dont think there will be a 2nd pass but I'm thinking they might do one more bonus character after the FP ends
I think we might get more bonus fighters, but maybe not a second fighters pass. Sakurai doesn't seem to like the idea of season passes.
Even better.
>Do you think we're getting a second fighters pass or not, and if so, why?
Not expecting it, but it's welcome. Seeing how well the switch and smash is doing it'd be weird for Nintendo to pass up and supporting the game longer. I'll happily by bonus characters here and there, even if it's just an echo.
I don't think they'll do a second season pass. Like others have said, we may get 1-2 more bonus characters but honestly I kinda doubt that too
more fighters would be nice and I'm sure it'd make a lot of money, but I also want Sakurai to take a break and get some well earned rest
It could just be him testing the waters. AoCF already had a translation that got used for the PC version and it sold pretty well. If the switch port performs just as well it could lead to him porting more games. Handheld Touhou is something that hasn't been done yet and can only be done on the switch because of the screen size and controls.
I mean, yeah, sure, it could be him testing the waters. But this entire thread is about Reimu in Smash. I can't see an upcoming port signaling that he's getting a character in Smash
This was the true, less-spoken patrician Sun/Moon Pokemon choice and you can't convince me otherwise
It was Buzzwole, nobody cares about that bear fag
no
yeah
A question for you unironic remiufags: Would ZUN actually be alright with Reimu being in Smash? I know he's cool with selling fangames and such but I know he has like some weird restrictions when it comes to big names using his characters like he doesn't even want official anime or anything. Would he really be alright if Nintendo asked to bring her in Smash?
That's just people gatekeeping the "must be in a nintendo console" fan rule.
>side character instead of a main character
Hayabusa never was popular before either. He only came up along with Kasumi after it became clear KT needed a rep.
I remember people pining for Ryu Hayabusa from the start of the pass till there was some statement or something that said KT wouldn't get a rep.
What are his chances, lads?
>from the start of the pass
That's basically when the Kasumi popularity started too. Probably even earlier since KT tweeted at some point they would go with kasumi if they were ever asked.
What statement was there about KT not getting a rep?
>SFM dog porn girl before Ryu Hayabusa
>dollar store Tekken before SNK fightan rep, Tekken rep or MK rep (all more important and liked than Dead on Arrival)

Now THIS is what a based user looks like
I really don't remember as I don't really follow that stuff that closely. I thought it was like a tweet from KT or something, but honestly I could be thinking of something totally different.
What? My argument is that it makes no sense for Nintendo to go for it. This is like saying that the Heavy has a shot in Smash because it's popular, even though it'd make very little sense for Nintendo to do it.
I just prefer a bit of logic when making my decisions for Smash
40%. He's got fan demand and there's no reason he can't be in Smash but I doubt Nintendo would want to try and hassle with two western companies for Banjo AND Crash.
Sora, Jill, Frisk and Crash are characters I'd like to see, personally.
Then stop shilling your virtual wife, she's not going to happen.
Fucking kek
I don't think Raybros would even be mad about Ezio's inclusion.
I don't think KT will push Hayabusa over their mascot, especially since they basically tweeted it

No one knows who half of the fucking characters in this thread are
But Doom Slayer sounds so silly.
M8, nobody here lives inside Sakurai's head or works for Nintendo to accurately predict what characters they want and why. We can speculate about whatever makes a character more or less likely but that's just what it is, speculation. Nobody fucking expected Piranha Plant or Joker as part of the DLC because they don't fit the usual fan rules.
If you want reasons to why they would want Reimu though, it would be the fact that she is one of the oldest and biggest indies while being relatively easy to negotiate through (read: no Square ish jewery), tons of potential in all areas (moveset, stages, music, etc.) and doubling as a shmup character who panders to the already profitable otaku crowd. Obviously there are other big names they could go with but the point is that she does have her unique pros that make her stand out on her own.

Imagine being this faggot
I just want a recurring character with a name and a face. None of this one-off JRPG protagonist stuff. Smash should be about timeless characters, not self-insert stand-ins nobody cares about after the next game in their series is released.
Nigger, Doom Slayer is basically what the demons call him. I don't care how "silly" you think it is. Demons do not say shit like "guy". This is HELL we're talking about. Not the circus. He's referred to as things like "Hellwalker" and "Unchained Predator" because all of hell sees him as a fearsome mortal warrior.
Be an adult, cut the "this is cringe" shit and deal with it. That's his canon title now.
i just need help identifying these songs used in official smash media, so i can mod them into smash. i mean, this is a smash thread so i thought someone could recognize them, but i guess not. sorry for entering the thread, i'll just ask somewhere else

Sorry dude, I have no idea of what you are trying to say.
Them why wasn't he high on the polls? Why weren't rosterfags here circlejerking over him? It's easy to bring up his pros now that he is in but he was never a highly expected character, hell, I saw more people expecting a SMT rep than Joker.
Part of the reason people probably use anecdotal arguments is because rosterfagging is ultimately treated as a competition due to the finite number of newcomer slots. If someone personally acknowledged the legitimacy of other characters, they'd have to admit their own picks have more competition.

Because Persona 5 came out after the polls I'm assuming.

Uh, they were. A number of people said that from a business perspective, Joker made the most sense. A lot of other people tried to argue for JAck Frost though, which never made much sense
>It's easy to bring up his pros now that he is in but he was never a highly expected character, hell, I saw more people expecting a SMT rep than Joker.
Those people were dumb then, SMT is way less popular than Persona and Persona actively has multiple titles upcoming. Including Q2 a month before Smash with Joker in it.
And by the way this is still way, way more evidence than Reimu has, which is just "no seriously, she's popular in Japan"

I'm pretty sure it's intended to be Master Chief, but I get your point nonetheless.
>>an entire wol expansion, boss rush, break the targets AND target blast
I mean it's a bit much, but you have to keep the game alive beyond adding new characters somehow.
>>geno, again who already got BTFO'd by galeem
I don't understand this, I'm assuming you're talking about Spirits, but if Geno would somehow get in, they could just rename the original Spirit.
>>MUH MINECRAFT CONTENT
There's nothing that says Minecraft content of any form can't be in the game, though. And the stage isn't even a part of the Fighter's Pass, only the supposed Mii Fighter costumes are.

Not gonna argue about Joker because I can barely remember that time.
>And by the way this is still way, way more evidence than Reimu has, which is just "no seriously, she's popular in Japan"
Speculative, as you said. Reimu being popular in Japan is a fact, there is a documentary that goes deep into that if you want to see it.
rent free
Lameu is not getting in
>Because Persona 5 came out after the polls I'm assuming.
I think he's talking about the numerous fan poll Yea Forums and many other websites had.
I don't remember single most wanted/likely poll where Joker ranked particularly high, if at all. Like it was said earlier, it's easy to see Joker's inclusion as logical long after it's happened, but Joker had relatively minimal push during the actual hype season
Sir Daniel
Arthas
Christof
Specter Knight

Reimu makes sense for many reasons but there are other characters that also make sense, so at this point it's impossible to predict who's gonna be in.
>Reimu

Ok so you're just giving up.
>Not gonna argue about Joker because I can barely remember that time.
Yeah, like I just said. Even though a second ago you were arguing against Joker.
>Speculative, as you said.
Wel no, there's actually nothing besides that. No mainline Touhou games have appeared on any Nintendo consoles, ZUN has never pushed Touhou outside of Japan, and Nintendo doesn't push the fangames on their consoles. There's no reason to think that Nintendo would go for Touhou.
>Reimu being popular in Japan is a fact, there is a documentary that goes deep into that if you want to see it.
I never denied she was popular in Japan, in fact I specifically acknowledged it.
Discordfags.
Nobody in this thread gave two shits about doomguy or reimu before the august direct last year.
>I don't remember single most wanted/likely poll where Joker ranked particularly high, if at all.
Ok? This speculation was mostly at a fever pitch when people saw TMS spirits in the base game, and Joker was announced the day Smash released.
>Like it was said earlier, it's easy to see Joker's inclusion as logical long after it's happened, but Joker had relatively minimal push during the actual hype season
Yeah, I disagree. Those Atlus spirits in the main game pretty much cinched it that they were involved. I called Joker the second I saw those, as did others.

>I don't understand this, I'm assuming you're talking about Spirits, but if Geno would somehow get in, they could just rename the original Spirit.
Except that's not how it works at all. Every spirit that does exist of fighters actually in the game is solely of stuff like alternate costumes
Geno can't do that since his spirit is of his normal form, unlike shit like tennis mario/captain k rool
>There's nothing that says Minecraft content of any form can't be in the game, though. And the stage isn't even a part of the Fighter's Pass, only the supposed Mii Fighter costumes are.
There isn't, but the fact that he added it in in the first place to appease virginben's "there's minecraft content guiz" bullshit clearly throws up a red flag

It's completely unimportant to his "character" and design. It'd be like if they added Skyrim Vikingman and he didn't use shouts but you'd say "name one other Nord (Elder Scrolls Race) Dragonborn character in gaming!". It's not even visually distinct in his design that Le Generic Knight Man is Undead. For example, Sir Dan - an unread Knight, is clearly an Undead Knight.

The only predictions that make the most sense based on currently hyped up and anticipated + promoted games is Doomguy/Doom Slayer and someone else. (IMHO I think Doomguy is a lock) Like Leon or Ryu Hayabusa. Crash is likely too but not as much as rosterfags think he is.
Not many other reps fit the bill except them.

Popularity is volatile and can change drastically in a few days. Legacy is not, it's constant.

See but then the argument is "It'll get in just because" which is the same argument you could use for a bunch of vidya characters.
>Not everything has to be promotional.
When Nintendo is choosing the characters and so far they all have been, I don't see how this argument makes any sense
I cared about Reimu in Smash since 2015. But you're right, popularity in the Smash community is what she lacked the most. Glad to see it's no longer the case.
>See but then the argument is "It'll get in just because" which is the same argument you could use for a bunch of vidya characters
Which is why saying a character is impossible is fucking retarded unless you're just screencap baiting.
So does that mean Rare Replay may be coming to Switch?
>Touhou deserves this
Sounds like the words of a middle aged mom on a yoplait commercial.
>Which is why saying a character is impossible is fucking retarded
I never said Reimu was impossible, just that it didn't make any sense.
I mean, xbox live is on Switch so maybe
I haven't seen the beginning of your garbage but saying a character "doesn't make any sense" is stupid too when you look at how big and dedicated the Touhou fanbase is. It's far from making no sense, especially if they want to represent indie games (which is unlikely, I'll give you that).
Are you seriously implying that Reimu has legacy?
>I haven't seen the beginning of your garbage
Then why were you assuming I was saying she was impossible
>but saying a character "doesn't make any sense" is stupid too when you look at how big and dedicated the Touhou fanbase is
Well it doesn't make any sense from a business perspective to go for Touhou when Zun has never worked with Nintendo in the past and has put no mainline games on the console and hasn't pushed it outside of Japan.
>It's far from making no sense, especially if they want to represent indie games
I mean they could also push Undertale, which is on Nintendo consoles with it's sorta sequel, is popular in Japan and worldwide, and they have a working relationship with Toby Fox.
My biggest issue with Touhou in Smash is that everyone ignores any argument against it and just keeps repeating that it's popular in Japan
ZUN's letting Aniplex develop a decently high profile mobile game, so I don't think he would really care unless Smash pulled some massive fuckery with the representation of the franchise. But since Sakurai has already demonstrated an attention to detail for other third-parties, it's doubtful that it would be a problem.
Touhou fans are very convinced their games are very mainstream for a series I've never seen referenced outside of Yea Forums smash threads.
...are you implying she doesn't?
I've seen this board be extremely retarded in the past but you're not going that far right?
>Zun has never worked with Nintendo in the past
Not strictly true.
shrinemaiden.org
>Last December, ZUN had officially given Nintendo a license, allowing Band Brothers players to upload music based on all Team Shanghai Alice albums, i.e. the PC-98 Touhou OST, and ZUN's music collections. They followed it up with a Shanghai Alice Remix Contest for players, with ZUN as a special judge. The winners were announced in the previous broadcast ZUN attended; their compositions will be collected in a CD sold at Reitaisai, marking Nintendo's first ever appearance at Reitaisai.
>fulgore

Touhou is not mainstream in the west. This does not mean the franchise is without legacy.
>Undertale
Yeah yeah we get it zoomer shit over deserving shit, you guys never learn, fuck off
>Gave Nintendo a licence for music
C'mon user, I think it's clear I mean actually developing games for their consoles
How is Touhou deserving on Smash if they've never had a mainline game on Nintendo consoles? Doesn't sound very deserving.
I'm personally not arguing legacy, I'm just arguing the assertion I always see in these threads that Touhou is this hugely popular franchise, specifically in the West. I believe its popular in japan, but not here. Here I'd say its about Dragon Quest tier
I am, most certainly, implying, she doesn't.
I know people who say Super Mario Bros was their childhood or Banjo Kazooie was their chidlhood. I even know people who claim Minecraft was their childhood. I have yet to meet someone who says, Touhou is their childhood. As if Touhou was defining for their generation. As if the industry was revolutionized by the appearance of these games. THATS what it means to have legacy. Touhou doesn't have any of that.
Define what makes someone "deserving" of getting into smash
In fact, anyone else in this thread can if you can't, you simpering buffoon
I'll wait
First, I'm not arguing that no one wanted or expected Joker, I'm saying that he wasn't that popular around within Smash community prior to his reveal. Secondly, you keep saying that the TMS spirits are what made made Joker's inclusion obvious but there are a few holes in that logic:
A.) Spirit weren't revealed until the November 1st direct, a month before the game was released. From March through October, Joker was barely discussed within Smash threads, outside of a few odd mentions here and there. Even after the direct, Joker was still fairly low key compared the fallout of the grinch leak, the game getting leaked, and people pushing characters like Porky or Sylux as the most likely candidates
B.) By your logic, it's obvious that FP 4 and 5 will be an Ubisoft rep, due to the Rayman and Rabbid spirits, and A KT rep, due having a Fatal Frame spirit.
If you expected him, good for you. But don't try to act like he was highly anticipated for anyone outside the few people like you who apparently put it together prior to TGA
I hope you have a painful death
>How is Touhou deserving on Smash if they've never had a mainline game on Nintendo consoles?
What the fuck does that have to do with anything?
What's deserving is what has legacy.
>How is Touhou deserving on Smash if they've never had a mainline game on Nintendo consoles?
Unless you really want to count SMT If as a Personal title, Persona has no mainline games on a Nintendo console.
No, Joker's not a Megaten rep. How many references to the greater Megaten franchise are included in his Smash implementation or anything he brought with him?
>And I the king of video games, decides what is both deserving and has legacy!
Anyone with a brain can tell what has legacy.
>What the fuck does that have to do with anything?
Well because I think it's foolish to expect a game series where the creator hasn't even attempted to make games for Nintendo.
>B.) By your logic, it's obvious that FP 4 and 5 will be an Ubisoft rep, due to the Rayman and Rabbid spirits, and A KT rep, due having a Fatal Frame spirit.
No because most of those companies already had spirits in Smash, user.
>But don't try to act like he was highly anticipated for anyone outside the few people like you who apparently put it together prior to TGA
This was being discussed plenty in Smash topics here on Yea Forums, user. Sorry you didn't believe it.
I will slam your face against a god damn table.
>I know people
What's with rosterfag threads and the overwhelming tendency to fall back on anecdotal evidence?
>Well because I think it's foolish to expect a game series where the creator hasn't even attempted to make games for Nintendo.
But you're wrong. Both Sakurai and Reggie said it didn't matter. That's not what makes a character deserving.
A series that is decades old, is still popular today, has a large dedicated fanbase, and has huge influence on japanese culture, is something that I would consider having legacy.
>Unless you really want to count SMT If as a Personal title, Persona has no mainline games on a Nintendo console.
They've had Persona games made by Atlus on Nintendo consoles and Atlus has been making Nintendo games for over 30 years.
I don't see how this is the same as ZUN at all, who hasn't made any Nintendo games.
Because that's what it is? Are you goofy enough to think there's any true rhyme or reason to any of this?
It's not anecdotal evidence. It's an anecdotal example of what legacy means.YOU actually have to provide evidence as to why Touhou does have legacy, since you hold the burden of proof.
Actual retard
>But you're wrong. Both Sakurai and Reggie said it didn't matter
It seems to have mattered for literally every entry in the series so far. And I'll believe that a non-nintendo rep can get in when it happens.
>That's not what makes a character deserving.
I don't think the character mostly disconnected from Nintendo deserves a spot in Smash. Existing a long time doesn't cut it.
Great argument, retard
Gawd i just want to know who's next. How long is it gonna take? September? October?
>I don't think the character mostly disconnected from Nintendo deserves a spot in Smash
But again, you're wrong. There are things outside of the Nintendo niche, and they deserve to be acknowledged as well.
>comiket numbers
>pixiv, niconico and youtube hits
>the existence of Retaisai
The difference is that namco helped with the development of the game dear capkek
>But again, you're wrong.
I don't think I am.
>There are things outside of the Nintendo niche, and they deserve to be acknowledged as well.
Sure, but not in Smash. And I don't see why Nintendo would choose a rep for Smash that is outside of the Nintendo niche.
>guys its not popularity that matters! It's legacy
>asks for proof of this "legacy"
>Here is proof of her popularity!
Please i want louie
Popularity only matters if it's for characters you like, user
How does any of this show Reimu has legacy?
Contrary to what people try to claim, Smash is still very much in "Nintendo's niche" as it were. Video game all stars it is not. Although that is the direction it is heading
Good thing thats all what Reimu has
>Look guys I'm retarded
Here have your (you)
>Least wanted
>Whole fucking Shitleth in the three slots
Based
Ah, so you don't have any actual arguments.
Well it was nice playing anyway
>Joker has pretty much ruined dante's chances of being in smash
t. retard who's literally never played a DMC game
>B-but he has rainstorm!!
But he doesn't have weapon or style swapping, only the dagger, guns and single Persona. If Dante made it in, he'd be nothing even remotely like Joker.
>Re needs a rep
And crapcom needs to fuck off until they decide to release a fucking game knstead of dumping low effort overpriced ports
>It wouldn't because brave is literally what you get when you translate Yuusha (Hero) from japanese
And that doesn't debunk anything in that supposed leak.
>Except that's not how it works at all. Every spirit that does exist of fighters actually in the game is solely of stuff like alternate costumes
>Geno can't do that since his spirit is of his normal form, unlike shit like tennis mario/captain k rool
Except for the fact that there are spirits of the Wii Fit Trainer, same costume as usual, just doing moves. You're making up random things, you almost seem desperate to find a reason why it couldn't happen.
>but the fact that he added it in in the first place to appease virginben's "there's minecraft content guiz" bullshit clearly throws up a red flag
Prove this claim.
I'm not the user that posted about comiket or reitaisai, but ignoring the influence of touhou in the japanese indie industrie, and that's not only videogames, but also talking about fucking music and art. Dude you have to be retarded.
Is like saying Dragon Quest is Irrelevant in japan and doesn't have a legacy.
>Mega Man 11
>I don't see how this is the same as ZUN at all
I never said anything of the sort. I'm simply responding to the question of how a game can be deserving of playable Smash representation without a mainline game on a Nintendo console. Joker is DLC and Persona has no mainline entries on Nintendo.
To be fair user RE7 came out 2 years ago
Fair enough, but I'm pointing out that the Joker situation is nothing like the Touhou situation at all. So personally I don't find that very compelling.
So we're all in agreement?
Kasumi is one of the remaining two.
>comiket or reitaisai means music and art influence
Yeah because before Touhou they didn't know how to draw anime girls yet
Being the face of the doujinshi industry is legacy. Touhou is one of the oldest and most prevalent doujin franchises. Touhou grew the entire doujin scene and is the pioneering franchise for indie gaming in Japan.
How many other gaming franchises are able to drive fanworks, including large numbers of full indie games, on the same scale, level of consistency, or span of time as Touhou?
That Reitaisai continues to exist and is held a twice a year, despite being propped up almost entirely by fan content for over a decade and having no commerical backing, is itself a testament to the franchise. There's probably more released albums of music alone that can be attributed to Touhou than most, if not any other game series.
You're literally contradicting official statements.
No
Why would it anger a discordfag when those are all of the characters they use for shitposting?
user can you read well? I'm asking because you just take what's convenient for you, and interpret it as what's convienent for your reasoning.
Do you know what the word influence means? I'm genuinely worried of your reading comprehension
I don't see how my post was doing that at all, you wanna explain or show these statements?
Because this only advocates for popularity, not for legacy. Even though there is tons of Touhou music, it didn't change the music industry. No artist was "inspired" by Touhou music. It's all just fans making content for other fans within their own bubble.
