I know. I was being facetious. But it irks me that people are coming in to effectively shitpost without doing research on what it is that they blindly hate. Oh well.
The Fate fandom has logged on.Fate is clearly a multimedia franchise as stated in Wikipedia which has various content in many sectors and the majority of the content is related to the anime and manga industries but it also has significant presence in the gaming industry. It is definitely not a game franchise exclusively as its main representation is in other media.
Amount of Fate Anime series and movies: 30+ and keeps growing
Amount of Fate Manga & Light Novels: 40+ and keeps growing
Amount of Fate Games: About 15 and that's if you count the arcade version of Grand Order
Amount of Fate Clothes & Merchandise - entire chains of thousands of them accross the world
Now about popularity, Fate is one of the highest grossing franchises of all time and the revenue it makes is more than the majority of the franchises in Smash Ultimate. Grand Order alone makes more money than any franchise in Smash has ever made in a game, so arguing about if it could be in Smash based on popularity is ridiculous since it is more iconic than most other series. Smash even has decades old and dead franchises such as Castlevania and Banzoo Kazooie which don't even exist anymore so of course Fate is eligible which is part of a lot more generations.
About sexual content, Smash already broke that limit with series such as Bayonetta and Persona which both have highly sexual content with the latter one even including suggestive rape and pedophilia in Persona 5 yet it was allowed to be sold on the PSN store regardless, Fate only had 1 scene in 1 game out of the thousands of media it has produced and even that game was remade later so that is not a problem at all.
Fate is clearly a really huge franchise, Type-Moon is a major corporation and it also has history with Nintendo with the Fate/ Extella series along with other projects, also Saber is the most requested character in Japan.
In the end, Fate does not even need Smash despite being the most potential franchise for it, its Smash that needs Fate to sell more copies for the Nintendo Switch since fighting games never last long, most players have already moved on and in addition that Smash is limited to only 1 platform that most of the gaming audience does not even have access to, it really needs all the representation possible.
Persona and Fire Emblem are already in Smash.It's more a waifu hentai game franchise than anything, and no Smash should stay family friendly.
Persona and Fire Emblem are already in Smash.
We also already have three characters from M rated games.(higher then most modern Fate games.)
You get the clothes cut off and moaning in Bayo 2 as well.What's the first exposure you get to Bayonetta in Bayonetta 1? Her clothes ripping off and her pole dancing while the game plays moaning sounds. Bayo 2? Her quite literally riding (with close-ups of her crotch) on top of an enemy or something like that. Obviously Fate has more overt sexuality but at this point I don't really think it's as big of a deal considering who's in Smash. I don't think it's GOING to happen, I just think the reasoning for why people think it isn't is stupid.
The franchise where you literally choose who has to breed with the 9000 year old loli dragon is now family friendly?It's more a waifu hentai game franchise than anything, and no Smash should stay family friendly.
Not when Ace Attorney existsI would love a Visual Novel representative in Smash, and Saber would be perfect for that role. I played the visual novel from April to July and I really liked it.
Did you ever play Fire Emblem? Because even FE Heroes doesnt go as low as most of Fates games/animes goPersona and Fire Emblem are already in Smash.

Not similar at ALL. Fatal Fury isn't like Fate and you know the reasons why already. The series doesn't feature H-scenes, end of the story.
I imagine havig a series you like being called awful and dismissed as porn doesn't sit well with a lot of people.I consider it a game series, much like Pokemon. I don't think it would make smash though.
And holy shit some of y'all coming in pretty strong on the defense of the franchise, we get it you like it.
Why does that matter exactly?Should probably pick a character that's actually historically a woman then.
And as far as I'm aware Fate doesn't anymore either, so what's the problem?Not similar at ALL. Fatal Fury isn't like Fate and you know the reasons why already. The series doesn't feature H-scenes, end of the story.
A fan of Jeanne I see...Should probably pick a character that's actually historically a woman then.
I don't recall "most Fates games/anime going as low".Did you ever play Fire Emblem? Because even FE Heroes doesnt go as low as most of Fates games/animes go

Saber is a woman, end of story.
What an insightful comment.lmao at the anime avatars actually thinking shit like this has a chance.
Now THAT'S a bad take.Should probably pick a character that's actually historically a woman then.

The series is heavily associated with Hentai.What an insightful comment.
Exactly why do you think this is so outrages exactly? I don't think it's incredibly likely but I also know I've been told of several characters who "had no chance" who are now in Smash so if you don't mind please share.
Or just keep insulting people that works too.
It's annoying that people are posting things about the franchise that are either false or heavily blown out of proportionPlenty of games I like get shit on. It's just entertainment and you don't need to run to its defense at every turn.
Ah so you choose insults. How very petty of you.The series is heavily associated with Hentai.
Thats why.
Don't compare it to Bayonetta because it crosses a whole new line.
Although seeing as your avatar is of a high school girl in leotard its easy to see why your thought process is far removed.

Persona is in Smash, though. That's what she's from.Although seeing as your avatar is of a high school girl in leotard its easy to see why your thought process is far removed.
To be fair, having a ton of unoffical porno fanart =/= starting off as an 18+ eroge game.Holy shit the salt in here over Fate is off the charts. Calling it a hentai series... just lol. Like Zelda, Metroid, FE, Bayo, etc don't have a fuck ton of porno fanart.
Such an odd thing to get hanged up on. Fate hasn't had straight up hentai since its first limited VN release that was later edited with its larger re-release. No hentai since then unless you consider any kind of sexual content porn.
Smash would be fine adding Saber, Rin, or Archer. I don't think it will happen at all though.
That's how I feel when a character/franchise I feel apathetic towards gets a ridiculous amount of negative reactions.I honestly don't want Saber in the game, but I'm starting to want it just to see how people on this forum would react.
Yeah that's true, but at least in Persona there isn't a scene where Joker is having a threesome with two of the girls, nudity on full display.
I don't recall "most Fates games/anime going as low".
I have seen all fate anime from the OG Fate to the (underrated) Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya. None of them contain any outrageous fan service.
Most of the Fate spinoff games also don't contain low stuff. Fate Tigger, The PSP/PS2 fighting game, Fate Extra and the Fate Extalla games are pretty mild
Yeah I don't know why they mentioned that garbage spin off.LMAO comparing Fire Emblem with the series with lolis kissing and heavy moaning.
This is fucking rich. Even worse when you consider the marketing materials.
Have you actually seen that series? Especially the later seasons are much darker than you might think.LMAO comparing Fire Emblem with the series with lolis kissing and heavy moaning.

Stop trying to promote that shit. People don't like it because it's creepy Lolicon shit.Have you actually seen that series? Especially the later seasons are much darker than you might think.
Seems like a lot of people do not like it simply because it's a magical girl series.
