So I apparently got blocked for awnsering the poll... Kamiya, why you do this to me?! :(

Bayonetta's core moveset is basically a Dante clone. But beyond that the differences are apparent.

I wonder how and if they would implement Royal Guard?
Well, they were capable of making characters as Duck Hunt or Villager, I'm sure they wouldn't have any trouble finding ways to set him apart. Royal Guard for counterattacks, Gunslinger for aerial attacks, Swordmaster on the ground... Or a dedicated button like Shulk, switching styles on the fly instead of bonuses.

It can be something special, if they're inspired enough. I just disagree on principle with whoever's discarding him without thinking on the possibilities. It can be much more than Bayonetta, because it actually is.

Fuck Dante. We have swords and guns already. We need a unique 4-legged character and that would be Amaterasu

Has Kamiya forgiven us, Smash idiots? Lol.

I would like to see Smash's take on Dante, even though it would probably be based on his base weapons and moves like Bayonetta.

If this were even real, I could only see Dante making the cut, the other 3 just are not mainstream or classic enough 3rd party game to be on the main roster imo. Though I would love Joe or Wonder Red.

Damn, the fact that he even made this tweet pretty much deconfirms most of those guys, rip.

I'm not blocked, he deleted the tweet.
He can really be a baby about Twitter. Blocking English speakers really showed that, but then he opens up and a few hours later goes crying about it. Someone high up at PG needs to limit his Twitter use because it's clearly not healthy.
Great game director but clearly can't handle social media.

But Wonder Red is first party.

People are morons.
I remember when Sakurai showed the Wonder Red trophy on Miiverse, and half the replies were calling it "third party". I fucking swear...

I saw earlier that he'd received a racist slur and another tweet about nuking Japan for a third time. And he was like "This is what happens when I tweet in English". Don't blame him tbh

Choosing between Ammy and Wonder Red is difficult. I voted for Wonder Red the last official Smash vote they had but i'd probably vote for Ammy now.

Dante's been on the 3DS twice. Also, Kamiya doesn't own any of the characters in that poll except Wonder-Red and has literally no control over what Capcom does with Dante, Ammy or Joe since he doesn't work for them anymore. He was pretty much just trolling with the poll.

Oh I knew that, I just still find the idea of Dante in SSB really, really out there since not even his franchise is on Nintendo systems. Heck, as much as I'm not for Joker, Persona Q2 is on the 3DS (though those spinoffs made the characters look awful) so having Dante for me in is just as weird as having Master Chief. He wouldn't be someone I'd despise if they got in though, unlike Crash/Spyro or a character literally in to have that third party support the platform more and nothing else, though I'm for Ammy myself, especially since a non-human/pokemon character is few and far between in SSB.

Well, Dante appeared in Project X Zone haha

Oh yeah I forgot that game existed, shit that also means Segata Sanshiro could make sense if he got in... I'd honestly find that very funny.

I saw earlier that he'd received a racist slur and another tweet about nuking Japan for a third time. And he was like "This is what happens when I tweet in English". Don't blame him tbh

Yeah... As easy as it may be to get mad at Kamiya for being so aggressive and mad at everything, it's hard for him not to when people deliberately shitpost around him to irritate him. I saw that Nuke tweet myself and was pretty pissed off. He used to be so friendly towards foreigners excited for his titles, and kinda is if they're nice and calm about it, but the huge influx of idiots/shitposting really soured his perception and I don't blame him for his changing mind.

Oh god damn it...
Makes me wonder how other English-speaking Japanese developers handle it, like Harada and SWERY

Having followed Harada (never heard of SWERY until that JJ game came out) for a long while, he More or less goes "I can't do everything for everyone, so just be happy for what I gave you and I do my best", which is surprising considering how much Tekken requests he gets...

Dante all thee way. Adds yet another swordsman to the overcrowded swordsman list, but this would be character i'd make an exception for.

I don't see any of them getting in unless Nintendo already picked one and this is a hint. HMMMM

Those are all excellent choices. I struggle to decide, though I'd have to go with Dante. Since he's the most iconic of the bunch.

Dante gets my vote, but I do think Joe would fit well in Smash too since he's already a side-scrolling character.

Viewtiful Joe is probably the best fit, and whatever makes a re-release more likely.

I never interacted with him before and voted because I thought he was gauging interest (and Amaterasu sounds amazing). But now I'm blocked. Oh well, that was a trap.

Dante is the obvious choice, but I want Wonder Red so my dream of a W101 sequel does not die :(
