But at the same time, SNK may be a bit too far on the obscure side to the point where they may be a tough sell overall. Granted, Erdrick would be a tough sell in the West, but he'd print enough money in Japan to compensate for that. Same for a Microsoft character, though the roles would be switched in Microsoft's case.
If we're talking niche franchises, I feel like Ace Attorney or Okami levels of niche would be more reasonable.
I'll only accept the one true SNK mascot
I don't know who this is but they have a creepy Harlequin mask so I like them.
Is "niche" a synonym for "half dead?"
I wouldn't call a franchise like Persona half dead, but you do you
Aren't arcades dead nowadays? Sure i'll agree that SNK had a big presence in arcades, but given the current situation that's a moot point. Erdrick/bayo could be seen as "risks", but the risk involved of destroying the pass' sales would be astromically bigger with a SNK character. This isn't a charity, its a decision to choose the characters based off a mix of sales/recognition and i'm certain none of those characters stand a single chance against ryu/cloud/bayo/joker/erdrick.
I never called persona niche. Don't put words in my mouth.
Arcades aren't dead. Especially not in Japan. And again, SNK is mounting a comeback with a renewed focus on console games and their legacy characters and IPs.
Logistically it's just a lot easier to pick Japanese characters. Sakurai likes talking to game companies/creators when adding their character to Smash and he can actually physically do that in a small country like Japan where most of the entertainment business is centered in the same area.
The rumor of Sakurai meeting Phil Spencer at E3 makes sense with this, whether it's true or not. But with classic series like Dragon Quest, Tekken, and Resident Evil that can still be mined for Smash, I don't see him adding more than maybe one western character at this point.

SNK Heroines actually sold well for expectations. And the Samurai Shodown reboot is building a lot of hype.
I never mentioned anything about franchises being half dead, but you took it upon yourself to suggest that's what I was referring to by the word niche when you quote my post with that response.
Ah, Joker fused with Arsene.I'll only accept the one true SNK mascot
Good thing SNK's not coming back in the arcades, then? You seem very defensive about SNK not getting into Smash as a mere possibility. No offense, but mind if I ask why?
He makes videos on almost every rumor.
He's like most smash YouTubers that report rumors. It gets him views.
Oh, you think Papa Genos makes a video about almost every rumor?
You should become acquainted with LaxChris.
Im the one person in existence that wants both Minecraft Steve and Doomguy
Also Monferno over Infernape, but that's just IMO :)
Grovyle was vastly more popular than sceptile, I think.

That's why I said almost.
Type in Smash on YouTube and Lax has a video on everything. Never actually seen a video of his or any Lax/Papa Geno, but it has an audience apparently.
Gotta agree with the Nakoruru love. I'd be happy with any SNK rep (think of the music), but Nakoruru would be top of the list. Plus I think everyone here who's not even familiar with her would approve. Plus, I think a recreation of her classic stage would look great (aside it maybe being a walk off)
And throw in the Winter version as a bonus
I wouldn't sleep on Metal Slug though. I mean the DS did get Metal Slug 7 as an exclusive (before remade as Metal Slug XX).
Those would look beautiful.
Let's make it happen.
Eiji Shiroi doing newcomer art would be great. Even better would be Senri Kita who has done Fire Emblem, SS, AND Capcom related art
we will die on this hill as brothers in arms
Hey we haven't met before, I'm yuoke.
Still thinking about how I should complain while still being respectful and such, if Steve somehow gets in the Fighters Pass.
I just realized she's basically Artorias and Hayabusa combined due to the animal familliars.Those would look beautiful.
Let's make it happen.
Imagine at E3 they show all 4 incoming characters.
And then they announce another 5 fighters are incoming. What happens to our sanity then?

I think we would be going pretty N. Sane over that announcement.
Exactly; it'd definitely restart our N. Gins in terms of DLC discussion.
