Super Smash Bros Ultimate DLC Character Predictions

I feel like this has a much better chance.
It's not on the Wii U and has an asthetic that's probably more palatable for a wider audience.
I doubt it'll bomb like W101. The Switch being in the position it is in comparison to the Wii U should hopefully prevent such a thing.
I hope you guys are right, I really do. I refuse to let another cool-looking Nintendo/PlatinumGames IP fail.
Either way, I'd imagine that Nintendo wouldn't want to risk it until after the game proves itself (I know this is more of Sakurai's approach to new IPs, but I'd imagine that W101's failure warrants a bit of caution). Even then, since I'm not expecting a Season 2, I'd probably put Astral Chain in line for Smash 6/7 representation should it succeed.
For what it's worth in all the direct reactions I've watched Astral Chain seems to get a positive reaction. I think it's gonna resonate with people.
At least Astral chain looks more appealing to the general audience and it's on switch. I don't see it bombing.
Might be a surprise hit. And if it does gain Nier Automata fame, it might help it get into smash.
Side note: Links Awakening remake, maybe Zelda character for smash DLC. (Okay I just really want Marin
That's a good sign, now hopefully that positively translates to good sales. I don't think my heart can take another bomba like what happened to W101.
I'm with you. I was really excited by the Astral Chain reveal, and I hope the game does well critically and commercially.
I just want Marin to make a comeback period.(and no I don't count Malon.)
All we can do now is give Nintendo & PlatinumGames our money and hope that the game does well both critically & commercially.
Yeah, it might help it get into the next Smash game. I just feel like after the failure of The Wonderful 101, Nintendo may take a Sakurai-esque approach with regards to Astral Chain in Smash (I.E. the wait-&-see-if-it-succeeds approach).

I know the perfect final smash!
It never made more sense
I believe it is Tetrimino's time to shine
It needs to be the "wtf" character of the fighter pass like Cloud was
Glad to see other people repping Marin! The only Zeldas I got into were LADX & the original, so she's the Zelda Rep who'd Mean the most to me personally.
One of these days I will play half the DMC series in your honor.
Fuck it im gonna ride it until then end.

Marin is such a boring Link's Awakening rep.
My dream Hyrule Warriors character that never happened was the Shadow Nightmares, and my idea for them could easily be adapted into Smash.
When moving around, they would be represented by this basic blob shape
but each attack would cause the nightmare to morph into a Zelda enemy or boss from the entirety of the series (like it does during the final boss fight in Link's Awakening). You can represent the wide range and variety of all of the Zelda enemies through one obscure pick.

Yeah I'm expecting Astral Chain to have the same noteworthy niche appeal on the level of Nier Automata, Persona 5, and Xenoblade 2 have. Seems alot of people like what they see and if Nintendo plays their cards right could be a decent size IP on the level of Xenoblade
I think Banjo is definitely going to be in.
It would be nice to get a Sony 1st party rep too but who the hell would they choose? The Sony characters are good but they don't make for good smash characters in the way that Banjo does.

I think I've already said this in another thread, but the main problem with doomslayer for me is that he very explicitly uses guns that take ammunition.
Bombs and other explosives are okay in Smash and that's how Snake gets away with being in the game, he isn't using his .45 and straight up icing people. Bayonetta's are more akin to real pistols, but there's a very intangible difference in what she does vs what Doomslayer does.
IDK I just can't imagine Doomslayer being in smash alongside Isabelle.
