This tier was not heavily based on sales, because otherwise Samus would dropped heavily in popularity, and Mega Man would be about as popular as Wii Fit Trainer. Might as well just list characters by franchise sales. Daisy would be S-tier importance.
I know a lot of people don't like how DK looks in the new game (at least as far as texture is concerned) but Smash Ultimate DK looks so much better to me. The texture doesn't feel as muddy/"fake" and the muted palette benefits him tremendously; it almost makes him feel like the most accurate 3D transition of DK from Donkey Kong Country.
I still love the modern DK overall in Tropical Freeze but this one has it's own charms.
Because nobody mained Miis because not only did Sakurai reject them online, but the community rejected them for tournaments.
That reminds me, we don't know if custom moves are returning so maybe the Mii fighters will be allowed in tournaments this time
That would be interesting, but really odd because I feel like the coloring on that pikachu model is due to the 3ds system and x/y sun/moon being really dull and washed out in general. Like pikachu is much more vibrant in let's go.I'm pretty sure Pikachu's duller color is based on its current 3D model in the mainline Pokemon games, which is noticeably duller than before.

I also have to say that Ultimate on the whole looks tons better than Wii U did. The lighting especially is a huge improvement, Wii U's lighting was flat as hell, which, combined with its overly simplified textures, made the game look very flat. And issues with Pikachu's color aside there are no characters in Ultimate that look anywhere near as bad as several character models did in Wii U (see Link, Ganondorf, Fox, Lucina, Palutena, etc.).
I'd not noticed Marth's slight redesign, it's subtle but an improvement. Also looks like hair on a lot of the non-Mario human characters has been upgraded to me too.
Also, Ive probably mention it before, but I'm so happy about Dark Pit having his proper colors.
Yeah there we so much misinformation on the miis being spread around it ended up making things way worse. I hope nothing like that happens in Ultimate, i don't believe there will be any good reason to ever ban the miis if they can be used online.
Miis appear to have customs, but nobody else does.
Miis and Palutena not being allowed customs killed the characters. It's their gimmick but people really never even considered letting them have theirs because "top players opinions".
to be fair, palutena's default terrible options probably did more damage than anything
Competitive Smash's community always overreacts to strong characters. Remember all of the squealing to ban Bayonetta from tournaments last year after Zero lost to a Bayo player at Evo?
Nah, someone important will watch a For Glory youtube video of Brawler's up special and they'd get banned.

Geno is out of place

I think you're kind of overreacting, I think the primary reason no one made the effort to keep them in competitive was because they required extra effort to set up. The competitive community treated them like create a characters (which are flat banned in basically any competitive fighter) because that's how the game treats them, there's no basic Mii in the base game. They have to be hand created.
I still think KOS-MOS is more likely than Heihachi because of her crossing over with Monolith games two times already

The FGC in general just looks for reasons to ban characters, when a character is console exclusive it automatically gets ban in all tournaments.

The E3 trailer said they were working on getting Mii Fighter available for online, right?
I'm expecting there will be a standard medium sized, basic specials type-1 moveset Mii that's selectable for this. Maybe with standard face and outfit too, allowing only colour swaps.
I'd be happy because the Mii Brawler and Gunner have pretty fun movesets, honestly. Also it'd be funny seeing Smash Bros fanart of those three standard mii fighters the moment they're allowed online.
Heihachi is kind of a boring choice, but he's also a super obvious one. Geno is the right choice in my heart, but it feels like there should be a Dragon Quest character there. I'd be totally 100% on board with this though. It's a dream roster.
Discuss?
Such a huge difference third party reps have lol
Discuss?
Really good chance of making it into the base roster
I'd say only some villains would qualify. Like Ganondorf wouldn't qualify to be up there but Bowser has a better case for it
Hey, Politoed is my favorite Pokemon. Now I really want this. Your dream must become real.I just remembered that I had a dream last week I forgot to mention.
Where the next newcomer was revealed and it was flippin' POLITOAD
Dream me was not pleased and was like "why would Sakurai pick another water type amphibian, WHHHY?"
It was not the right Toad, I wanted Captain!
He also did namedrop Bartz with the idea of a class-changing fighter.
There's the Disney thing with Sora, but then they had Ralph in Sonic All Stars Transformed, but then again it's probably due to the Sonic cameo.
Where did d you even find this pic? LolIf everyone involved is getting a second rep then I think this will be it.
Some of you undersell Geno too much.
