I wouldn't say Rex is 100% in. He (with Pyra) & Spring Man are the most obvious choices, yes, but they also have the problem of being in recent releases. It's entirely possible that ARMS & Xenoblade 2 may have been too recent for the base roster.
An argument could also be made that Splatoon 1's designs are more iconic since they kicked off the franchise.
it's not a co-owned game by Bandai Namco, they were just the studio who were contracted to make the game. they wouldnt have any copyright on Smash 4 outside their characters appearing
They can still reuse the animations and moveset for a character like Breath of the Wild Link, which are the part that take most development time, not the models. Note that we had Link's moveset transitioning between OoT Link and TP Link with no modified moves, just some tweaked effects like adding a gale effect to the boomerang. So, new models don't necessarily mean moveset revamps.
Rayman is more iconic so i think he will get in before the Rabbids
That and being a cool throwback to the Splatoon reveal intro. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8L54s2m1dPs
Roy was in Smash before his game came out. A lot of the weird 'rules' people make up to rationalise the character selection decision-making process have little basis in reality.
Nahhhh
It varies from series to series though (or even depending on specific conditions of the development of each game). WiiU/3ds had Sakurai adding Greninja even before his name was finalized, but at the same time it had no 3d World content outside of bgms. There was also no Galaxy content back in Brawl. So, it seems like he doesn't get early access to the 3d Mario team's assets compared to some other developers.
Actually I take it back, a traveling stage would make a ton of sense for Odyssey huh
Hmmm. Probably not? I'm thinking like some cool plains. The only reason I say traveling for Odyssey is because traveling around different kingdoms is the premise for the game.
I've got no doubt that New Donk is going to be a stage, but ever since the beginning, Mario's had more stages than any other series. Wii U had 3 new ones, and 3DS had 4, and there was still a DLC stage on top of that, so we're probably going to get similar numbers here.
This would be nice honestly. Smash 4 is a great base to work from. I'm just thinking time frames between smash and development hell it normally goes through for it maybe being a deluxe port, but im happy with whatever. I just want smash on switch so i can truly retire my Wii U.
if Ridley makes it in, I'll change my avatar to Ridley's feet
Opposition? You mean people who use logic based on reality? Nah son, the Pro Ridley people are just dreamers, while everyone else are using the cold bitter truths of this world to control their expectations.
Thank you. This notion of everything nintendo makes being enhanced ports even when they are revealed as sequels (or this hilarious notion of a "hybrid" like not every sequel almost ever re-use assets and often engine too) when they do the same things as everyone else for their sequels are frankly ridicilous.
Or we get a transitional stage, starting on his pirate ship, crashing into crocodile isle, getting on his airship that then crashes into his castle back on the island XD
Should be Gramps(the Titan in the beginning) traveling between all the Titans and chatting with the players
