Smash IS supposed to be about gaming's biggest icons, right? So how come we're not getting the character that basically invented the FPS genre?
Instead we get:
>protagonist from generic weaboo jrpg 85
>protagonist from series that doesn't sell for shit outside of japan
>forgotten furfag from generic platformer 32 that got in over steve who is from the best selling game of all time (not a stevefag, i despise minecraft with a burning passion, its literally just ms paint with blocks that redditfags go crazy over, but i acknowledge that he makes the most sense) and master chief, xbox's mascot because seething NEET boomerfags can't handle the fact that kids today don't care about bing bing wahoo

Doom Slayer will never be in Smash Bros. Why even ask?

Doom is literal who too

Because Nintendo of Japan picked the characters, so its Japan first, the rest of the world second. Gaijin's only get nostalgia bear.

Smash doesn't need anymore ranged characters in the game as it is.

That's because these guys are falseflaggers.

Smash brothers is an international series. However, it's not about who gets more or less. It's about sakurai and nintendo appeasing demand. There's no limit to how many characters any one country, company, or series gets. If it makes fans happy and brings in the cash, why would they care? America is a huge fucking market.

No gaijin, what country saved america's video game crash? America sure didn't, it was Japan. Video games would be stuck in the Atari era if it wasn't for Nintendo. You ungrateful gaijins need to learn your place, without Japan, Nintendo would be nothing. Nintendo thrives on Japan buying up handhelds in mass. Nintendo thrives on Japan buying in mass loli dating simulators. Japan is Nintendo's lifeblood, they cannot survive without them.

Fellow doombros, let's please remember that this isn't a race to get in first.
Making fun of other people doesn't make us any better than the stevefags.
If he gets in, amazing. If he doesn't, don't go throwing a huge fit.

Sucks for them, but they are too obvious.

>Doomtranny already coping

This.

>gaming's biggest icons
Nah, Sakurai serves the boomers and the Japanese peepee pants. He doesn't make a gaming hall of fame. Hero got in because Japanese men flip their lid at the sight of him. Banjo/Kazooie got in because Dunkey won't stop talking about it how good their game is.

Can't explain why Joker got in. Sakurai just likes Persona, and it's a good series nonetheless.

If the game was about gaming icons, we wouldn't have Olimar, Villager, Incineroar, Captain Falcon, or like 70% of the cast. It's pretty obvious Sakurai just makes Nintendo icons and whoever the community asks for at this point.

This.

I know this is a dumb shitpost but it's too easy

You do know that nintendo sold the NES in America too, right?
Infact, it sold much better in America.

>Everyone I don't like is a tranny!!!!!!!

No, Smash is supposed to be a Nintendo character brawler and sometimes it has guests. Fuck off with this stupid representation and importance shit.

It's obvious.

Doombros are better than this... I, in behalf of the obvious falseflaggers, I apologize for anyone offended.

Link? I'd love to see that?

This but unironically.

Reasons for plausibility:
>Doomguy has Nintendo history on SNES and N64
>DOOM has presence on Switch now outside of Smash
>Doomguy is the classic FPS staple, a genre not represented in Smash
>Moveset already pre-made for Smash
>Classic and fanservice character

Reasons against plausibility:
>Western character
>FPS character, a genre Japs really don't give a fuck about
>Source material violent on a level beyond all others present in Smash with real-ass guns and chainsaw for weapons

He has a chance, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Again, stupid gaijin thinking sales matter, for every successful thing that sells great outside Japan, Nintendo has five things more that sold great only in Japan. Japan is highly enjoying Mother 3 foolish gaijin.

ok cuck

Assuming you mean link to the otis dude?
Just wait. He always shows up in these doom threads sooner or later.

>Smash IS supposed to be about gaming's biggest icons, right?
What? No. Who the fuck ever said that? What kind of fucking idiot thinks that a game featuring characters like Lucas, Roy(or most of the FE characters), and Incineroar is about having gaming's biggest icons? Most of the roster is literally who's at this point.

Seriously, Is that why Bayonetta's there? Because she's one of the biggest Icons in gaming?

Westerners can cry Nintendo all day long if they want, but that's for Nintendo of America to listen to. Then they speak to Nintendo of Japan and get a response of "uh, I guess...can you just tell them YOU censored it?" or "well if translating is expensive, just don't, they won't miss the game, and if they do, they can just learn japanese". You are asking Nintendo of Japan, to care about westerners. Can't you see what is wrong with that?

Why do you rulefags continue shilling these meme when fucking Nakoruru is in Smash?

I won't even be mad if Doomguy doesn't get in. He's always been a pipe dream and I have Eternal to look forward to

This.
Him getting in would be amazing, but we still have his games to have fun with if he doesn't.

Fuck doom and fuck quake and fuck counter strike and fuck Golden eye and fuck perfect dark and fuck call of duty.

desu with Simon, K Rool, and Banjo all getting in this game, all of which I never thought would ever be in Smash after tr4sh, I've got nothing to get hype about but extremely fringe unlikely picks like Doomguy

Whatever else is in the fighter pass for DLC I might be a bit disappointed if they're just marketing picks like another FE character, I got my bruhs and I can still have the possibility of getting another never ever like doomguy

Based.

If you think SNK is a literal who, then you're a literal retard.

Doomguy is my most wanted and you falseflagging Steve niggers need to fuck off

Samus is a first party character and at the time Samus was added to Smash the Prime series did not even exist.
Irrelevant.
DOOM is an iconic IP outside of PCfags. It even got a movie. Not to mention it is not only a PC game.
And yet this thread is full of Nintendo fans who give a shit about him.

Nah, a Shotgun in real life is non-lethal at a very long range...

In Smash? Maybe 0.5% damage each shot at long range.

You are also forgetting the Crucible Sword from Eternal... Completely viable for Smash attacks.

My guess is doomguy, since smash characters like using the "classic" looks (pacman, old short megaman, old banjo, etc)
Eternal/16 may be an alt but I feel like guy would be the main.

It’s either gonna be Kasumi, Ayane or Hayabusa.

Nope. What made you ever thin that? 3rd party inclusion are typically made due to fan demand or as an advertisement to a soon-to-be-released-on-Nintendo-hardware title, like the new Samurai Shodown game that came out last June for the PS4.

But if you want the pasta, here it is
>Marty hesitating
Both men were tired and I guarantee you could probably find similar "hesitation" in the interview for pretty much anything

Sakurai loves video games and understands history
What a shocker
>More surprises for Nintendo fans
Could've easily meant the recent ports
Its Pete Hines of course he'd think that'd be hype inducing
>"Oh yeah"
Could've been Bethesda/Hines approaching Nintendo and them saying no or not even bothering to answer. Also the interviewer asked if Pete Hines specifically talked to Nintendo about it and he said those conversations don't necessarily happen with him.
>Hugo turning his head quickly
Could've just been him waiting for Marty to finish
>Marty clasping his cheeks after finishing
He does that numerous times throughout the interview
He just does it to prepare for the next question
>Mick Gordon not specifying the Heavy Metal Choir to be Doom Eternal but Doom related still
A vlog from one of the performers indicates that at the very least, she thinks it was for Eternal
And while the pitch was done in January (the same month Grant Kirkhope was contacted) it doesn't line up with Sakurai's comment that Grant was the first western composer he's worked with unless he also means he worked with Gordon at the same time.

No. It's about Nintendo mascots fighting each other. You're lucky to have any third parties at all, selfish cunt.

This desu

How greedy can mad hoes get.

All the important Nintendo mascots are in thou

That's hilariously false and completely opposite. If it wasn't for those "slant-eye" companies, you'd still be hitting a dot with two rectangles.

Go fuck yourself. I've always hated the mindset that only the best-selling and most popular stuff should be the only stuff that gets in Smash. Everyone has different interests, and they're not all gonna be super popular. SNK, while popular, certainly never found as much worldwide success as the other Japanese game development giants, so the idea that Sakurai gets to pick a relatively more niche character(s?) for Smash is really cool, and showcases some taste.
