don't put that evil on Naruto
not even it deserved to have Steve mimic it
Smells like an anime convention.
I always wondered how it tastes. :p .. the Japanese games indeed just call Wumpa Fruits 'Apples' and nothing more.
I seriously hope the full line up isn't just third party characters. They're missing out if they don't include more Nintendo characters. Ray from Custom Robo, Ribbon Girl from ARMS, Chibi Robo. Heck give me a partial clone of Mario that uses the FLUDD Nozzles for his B moves and the hover nozzle if you hold jump.

Banjo Kazooie and Master Chief would be pretty cool though.
Is Wonder Red owned by Nintendo?
Ninja Gaiden games let you do things like this:
(Video game gore.)
Literally every character consistently brought up in these threads would make up a meh pass to me.
DQ rep (despite being a huge DQ fan), any of the proposed Capcom reps, Crash, Ubisoft reps, 2B, Tales rep, Tekken rep. Ryu Hayabusa and Microsoft reps would be the only consistently mentioned characters that would move the needle.
Your "meh" pass is my unbelievably best case scenario pass tbh.
Yes; Platinum don't actually own a single IP that they have worked on.
I'm a firm supporter of adding slightly niche but beloved characters to broaden their exposure over adding boring characters that everyone knows, so your reply is further support for adding Kiryu and Majima to Smash. :P
Jin wasn't the Tekken costume in Smash 4; Heihachi was. They would probably bring his costume back if they added a different Tekken rep.
The DQ rep very well may be the Luminary due to the recent release, the Celestrian due to being in the most sold game in the series, or Erdrick due to being in the most popular game in the series.
Dragon Quest is kind of a big deal in its home of Japan, and Nintendo has a vested interest now in making the series popular in the West.
until Tekken 8 comes out and proves otherwise, I don't believe that any story reasons will change Heihachi's status of poster boy. One game won't make vanish all the legacy of a character got.I would've suggested Heihachi, but I feel like that would be awkward after he was in Playstation All Stars, and:
He's probably not going to be the face of the franchise as much as he used to be, now that he's passed, and the focuses is now on Kazuya vs. Jin more.
He has my seal of approval then. 😊Yes; Platinum don't actually own a single IP that they have worked on.
I mean, having multiple heroes as different costumes is how I originally wanted a Dragon Quest hero to be repped, but I think Erdrick with a 50/50 split of male/female alts would probably be what they go with (maybe Luminary as an Echo, but that's just a MAYBE). Rest of the heroes can be spirits though.I'm still hoping for something like this
But with some female alts.
Lloyd, Nightmare, or someone from Tekken make a lot of sense.As for the Namco representative, I'm guessing it would be a Tales character, probably Lloyd (was already a costume in Wii U/3DS) or Jin Kazama from Tekken (also a costume). I would've suggested Heihachi, but I feel like that would be awkward after he was in Playstation All Stars, and:
He's probably not going to be the face of the franchise as much as he used to be, now that he's passed, and the focuses is now on Kazuya vs. Jin more.
I feel your pain. I wanted an ARMS character really bad.The one character I want most is a Xenoblade 2 character. I know it's likely not happening, but new thread and all, I felt I had to get it out there.
Aside from that, what I'd like more than characters, actually, is more alt-costumes (non-Mii). I want to see other Links, other Mario costumes, Splatoon 2 inklings, and more. I think we've reached significant diminishing returns with characters, and you can actually make more fan wishes come true with alt costumes at this point. At least for me.
Jin wasn't the Tekken costume in Smash 4; Heihachi was. They would probably bring his costume back if they added a different Tekken rep.
Remember Gen 3 and 5? Sword and Shield will probably end up skipped.
I think Splatoon needs a second full fledged character honestly. So much stuff was introduced in Splatoon 2 and so many weapons aren't represented. Agent 8 (Octoling) could be a character next time. The series is incredibly successful and has earned it imo.mm an echo pass would be cool
dixie kong
zack fair
octoling
medusa
coco bandicoot
Heihachi, Leon, Banjo, Fire Emblem character.We need a new game I guess to pass the time.
What characters would make up your "meh pass"? Nothing to be excited over, but also wouldn't be disappointed that you already spent $25 on the pass either.
I'd go with Joker, Tom Nook, Marx, Rhythm Heaven character and Ryu Hayabusa. I wouldn't be disappointed, but I wouldn't be excited and amped to try one. And I included Joker bc that's really how I feel about his inclusion- it's just kinda meh to me.

Medusa is a great idea though. Didn't think of that~
They couldn't come up with a name for the Dragon Quest 11 Hero? Just call him the Luminary.I'm still hoping for something like this
But with some female alts.
I think the timing would fit quite well for an E3 reveal. It would help promote Builders as well as XI and who knows if there are other DQ announcements like the rumored mobile to Switch ports.
What would you think of Demise, Twilight Ganondorf, and Skyward Sword Zelda/Twilight Zelda/Champion Zelda as skins or echoes?If there was an Echo Pack, they wouldn't include echoes for other DLC characters in it. The real best Echo Pack is:
16Ɛ - Impa
38Ɛ - Blaze
54Ɛ - Medusa
64Ɛ - Octoling
for the last one? I dunno, 14Ɛ - Midbus, to make the whole pack female.
I wonder if that will dilute the value of the character through. Like imagine Mario but you put luigi/wario as recolors of him.I'm still hoping for something like this

Splatoon is strange since its such a hit but I can't see anyone else other than maybe octling making it in.I think Splatoon needs a second full fledged character honestly.

Yea let's choose the niche-as-heck NES character that nobody knows about as the next FE rep, that'll work out for sureChallenger Packs:
- 2B (NieR: Automata)
- Banjo-Kazooie (Banjo-Kazooie)
- Erdrick (Dragon Quest III)
- Soul of Cinder (Dark Souls III)
Echoes Pack:
- Octoling (Splatoon)
- Dixie Kong (Donkey Kong Country)
- Seliph (Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War)
Assuming that Individual DLC Characters are a thing like the Piranha Plant:
- Kasumi (Persona 5: Royal)
- Bandana Dee (Kirby)
Seliph is a SNES character. Tho intrestingly enough. His game is the next in line to get remade for Fire Emblem.I wonder if that will dilute the value of the character through. Like imagine Mario but you put luigi/wario as recolors of him.

Probably better as skins than Echoes, besides Demise I guess. I have Impa there as the Skyward Sword rep, so that would be a bit unnecessary in my scenario.What would you think of Demise, Twilight Ganondorf, and Skyward Sword Zelda/Twilight Zelda/Champion Zelda as skins or echoes?
*SNES, and Genealogy of the Holy War is next in line for a remake (they've already done 1-3). If the timing works out, it isn't impossible.Yea let's choose the niche-as-heck NES character that nobody knows about as the next FE rep, that'll work out for sure

They've done 1-3 already. Genealogy of the Holy War would be next. (Unless Roy wins again)

People have different attachments to each of these protagonists through. Link's costumes are fundamentally the same character.Pretty sure this was made around the time when XI was early in development.
I can see what you're saying, although I think there's much less gameplay differences separating DQ protagonists. If anything, it'd be something like Link costumes or Pokémon trainers.
I really hope that whatever character is next, they have their flagship game on Switch, or coming to Switch.Challenger Packs:
- 2B (NieR: Automata)
- Banjo-Kazooie (Banjo-Kazooie)
- Erdrick (Dragon Quest III)
- Soul of Cinder (Dark Souls III)

Well that was a brain fart if i've even seen one. For some reason I keep forgetting that.
Yoko Taro at least is publicly open to the idea of bringing NieR to Switch; it's all up to Square thoI really hope that whatever character is next, they have their flagship game on Switch, or coming to Switch.
2B after what happened with Joker (sorry that I'm still bummed about this) would be such a heartbreaker.
