honestly the two worst possible remaining characters would be heihachi and Ryu from ninja Gaiden. luckily heihachi was basically deconfirmed with the death of the costume theory.

And when you factor in that Bamco this year only cares about The iDOLM@STER's 15th anniversary while ignoring both Tekken's and Tales' 25th anniversaries, the writing is on the wall for Heihachi.luckily heihachi was basically deconfirmed with the death of the costume theory.
Is it actually the 15th anniversary? Wikipedia tells me that the first Idolmaster game released in 2005.And when you factor in that Bamco this year only cares about The iDOLM@STER's 15th anniversary while ignoring both Tekken's and Tales' 25th anniversaries, the writing is on the wall for Heihachi.
Knocked out by a 17 year old girl.
The actual 15th anniversary is next year, but they've already started the celebrations a year early.Is it actually the 15th anniversary? Wikipedia tells me that the first Idolmaster game released in 2005.
Now Katamari, on the other hand, is actually celebrating it's 15th this year. In fact, Katamari Damacy released in September 2004 (in North America); perfect timing for a Fall Direct Smash reveal.
Sheik is one of my favorite Ninjas ever. I just prefer her Melee/Brawl incarnation more because it had lest emphasis on using traditional ninja-like weapons and fighting techniques. I feel like they've made her into a slightly more generic ninja with each game.
i dunno which guy is tekken but in sleet fighta ecks tekken pac man was smaller than all, so much that he sat on cursed whispy woods or sometheen'Wait... Did I just see a post where Tekken was described as bigger than Pac-man?
I never did say we shouldn't discuss it? It's perfectly fine to talk about things that you want, but it's important to take into consideration points that can be raised for and against your claims. I know cause I did that with Undertale but came to the realization that my evidence didn't really stand up to what I was claiming.

I don't know why you hate Hayabusa so much.
But, IMO, the worst possible remaining choices are Resident Evil and Tekken, because they indicate that only game sales actually matter for getting a character into Smash.
I mean those are also two hugely popular and influential series with millions of fans.
Banjo and Kazooie say Guh-huhBut, IMO, the worst possible remaining choices are Resident Evil and Tekken, because they indicate that only game sales actually matter for getting a character into Smash.
Are you prepared to see people start talking up GTA and Call of Duty for future Smash titles?

Wait, so would you prefer, I dunno, Price and Bellic in this Fighter Pass over Jill and Heihachi, or not?Are you prepared to see people start talking up GTA and Call of Duty for future Smash titles?
I think people are too focused on Resident Evil, Tekken and Ninja Gaiden and the last 2 fighters will be weird series nobody really saw coming, like Persona.
Doom, Elder Scrolls, some other western series, an indie gameWhat do you have in mind, then? Most people were speculating Dragon Quest and Banjo-Kazooie for awhile, so it's not like it's all been left field.
There's a difference between a popular series and a series whose only merit is its popularity.

Honestly, I feel like Undertale is the only indie franchise with a realistic shot at Smash after Shovel Knight of all characters got shot down.Doom, Elder Scrolls, some other western series, an indie game
I just think going with "who is the biggest Japanese series not in smash = getting in Smash as DLC" isn't really a good way to approach it.
Indie reps for Smash always focus on the biggest and most well knownHonestly, I feel like Undertale is the only indie franchise with a realistic shot at Smash after Shovel Knight of all characters got shot down.
Also, Doom Slayer has been discussed a lot.
I'm still thinking we'll getting a first Party Rep.I think people are too focused on Resident Evil, Tekken and Ninja Gaiden and the last 2 fighters will be weird series nobody really saw coming, like Persona.

Most of the major viable options (Midna, Skull Kid, Ghirahim, etc.) are already Assist Trophies. Plus there isn't a ton of BotW music left to add for one of the Champions.I'm still thinking we'll getting a first Party Rep.
And no, I don't mean Paper Mario or Byleth.
Think I said it in my predictions long ago that I see a Zelda Rep happening.
*points at Persona*Dragon Quest and Banjo-Kazooie felt more obvious to me as good fits since they were series that debuted and became iconic on Nintendo platforms. That and they were aesthetically really strong fits among Nintendo's characters.
Tekken meanwhile has a Wii U port of Tag Tournament 2 as its big Nintendo cred. It makes sense to me why people aren't exactly enthused about that franchise and even Soul Calibur is more fondly remembered by the Nintendo crowd. Resident Evil makes a bit more sense at least due to the exclusive games (at the time) it had on the Gamecube, essentially being the biggest 3rd party series there other than Sonic the Hedgehog. That said I think it is still a Playstation franchise in the hearts of most.
I honestly think the latter is the only reason we're talking about RE/Tekken. (And I actually like those games.)
Pac-Man's fame comes from the arcade so sales are really not going to be a good measurement for him.The funny thing is, Tekken technically has sold more than Pac-Man, at least, according to Wikipedia
List of best-selling video game franchises - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
Pac-Man: 43.243 million
Tekken: 47 million
I selfishly don't want a RE rep because the music is just boring and not memorable and I have a hard time thinking of how they'll market all these "amazing" rips of atmospheric horror tunes that don't fit Smash Bros.
Because for a good chunk of them, indie games are more niche than even Persona. The ones often talked about, such as Undertale, are the ones that were able to carve out their own path into more mainstream awareness (or at least awareness on the level of something like Persona, which is an accomplishment in of itself).Indie reps for Smash always focus on the biggest and most well known
While I think that helps indie series, I also look at something like Crypt of the Necrodancer and how Nintendo loved that game so much they got them to make a Zelda spin off and I wonder if some random indie will get loved by the right people at Nintendo and suddenly they're the one in Smash instead of Undertale or Shantae or Shovel Knight
If Jill gets in, please don't let the RE3 outfit be the default. STARS or BSAA (RE5), please.

I'd prefer STARS default/BSAA alt or vice versa, but I'll allow this considering how popular RE3 Jill is.RE3 outfit will probably be the alt along with RE1 being the default.

RE would be cool as long as we got Jill and/or Claire, and I can at least understand Tekken's importance and legacy to the fighter genre.
