What will it take for the next MvC to include Squirrel Girl?Y'all will rue the day Fox was bought by Disney when MvC4 comes out and thongninja Psylocke is on the roster.
Marvel Infinite freed us of the the mutant menace.
You mean Penance.
How dare they put all these popular characters into their game and don't give us the super obscure Nintendo picks that only 4 people care about.
Monster Hunter sounds good. The rest are chumps though. They can get in when Saki Omokane is back.
I want the super obscure third party picks that only four people care about. Terry Bogard has shown us that there is hope for these characters. 😝
So many "Let's cut all of the Fire Emblem characters" wishlists just immediately turn around and choose to add a ton of Zelda characters instead.
Now i am imaging he plays like Johnny Joestar in ASB. Also Spectrier and Glastrier would work better as alts of each other but having the same moves
I should also bump Star Gladiator characters up the list because that game is something.

Real talk: I still think people vastly overestimate how much Smash really "helps" obscure series.
My guess is that Isaac/Chibi-Robo/Lip/Wonder Red/Takamaru/etc fans look at where Fire Emblem and Kid Icarus went after their initial inclusions in Smash and thus think that including their obscure characters will help their series prosper in the same way. But this is overlooking several factors, like how Fire Emblem was on death's door before Awakening bailed it out, or how Kid Icarus Uprising really was just a one-off, and not the big relaunch of the IP, that only really happened due to specific circumstances.
Putting Captain Falcon in certainly didn't stop the F-Zero IP from plummeting into oblivion, I can tell you that.

I just remembered that we're one part away from SBR being adapted.
Which is funny, because they also vastly underestimate series that aren't particularly obscure.
no one is rooting for characters like Lip or Takamaru on some hope that they'd get some kind of mega boom that brings their series back to relevance
they root for them because they are Cool and Neat and Fun

I can understand that, but there are some folks that think putting an obscure Nintendo character in will help give exposure to their series and thus potentially get them a new game, but it just...doesn't really work that way.
I think that's why some people get really pissed at third party characters, because to them it's Nintendo "selling out" and leaving their smaller guys to die or something like that.
Sadly SBR is likely not going to be for a while even if SO is annouced in 2021 and is 39 episodes (which is likely). It's going to require a lot of time and effort to do SBR right
This. I also root for characters because I want the cross-over to expand. I want Nintendo's characters to be immortalized in the game that represents Nintendo's history, and I want various video game all-stars to be immortalized into the greatest cross-over of all time.
Which is why I hope Hayato, June and Bilstein make in a crossover fighter one day
Definitely hoping at least one adventure game/VN character makes it into the pass. Phoenix or Ayumi, don't matter to me too much. Ayumi mostly just gets an extra push in my support because we're so damn close to having Detective Club finally go international and the timing would be oh so good. The real dream would be Guybrush Threepwood but Disney gonna Disney.
"Because I don't like the series, I believe one of Nintendo's current biggest franchises doesn't deserve to be in this Nintendo crossover." - Anti Fire Emblem brigade, actively refusing to accept reality.

You know Fire Emblem has become a powerful series when it gets to live rent free in so many heads.
To be honest, Terry Bogard really isn't a niche, obscure character.
Saaabbbbbbbbbbeeeerr "runs away"
In all seriousness a VN charcter would be cool
I'm sorry for ignoring this post, because this is the correct position.
I would have said Bayonetta, but the special circumstances surrounding her would have gotten many posters to quote me and try to "correct" me. 😜
Yeah, of the two, Ayumi's odds are probably the best (assuming that her game gets localized). Phoenix Wright is clearly the more popular option of the two, but he also has the most competition within his home company (with Monster Hunter being the biggest competitor of the Capcom lot).
Terry's definitely someone that would be considered "iconic" by a huge amount of people that simply exist outside the typical Smash bubble. It's one of the reasons I really hoped that people would expand on their expectations and consider a wider variety of characters, genres, and companies that could show up, but it still feels like it barely moved the needle.
Assuming Capcom gets anything at all, which is something I'm not sure why is so frequently considered practically a given in Smash discussions besides that the folks who exist in the bubble simply don't know much about other developers.
but only the characters they want!
they're calling for halloween rhea and easter shamir these days
Of course, it's entirely possible that Capcom gets nothing. But if we do get something from Capcom, it'd probably be Monster Hunter.
That said, I'm not sure if they'd go TOO niche with their picks (even with Terry, FF/KoF is huge in Japan & South America in addition to SNK having a ton of legacy behind them). Even the indie characters we've seen be given the nod only got Mii Costumes & spirit events.
Really an untapped market. When the video game industry gets over making the dads mad, the himbos will rise.
Even FEH is starting to tap into that market a bit (see ScorchedBacon's post).
