See the video that was tweeted by Neoxon? The models were grabbed from that very series of Dragon Quest arcade games.

I finally beat Dragon Quest VIII recently. So there is the Dragovian trial which only shown up when you beaten the game for first time and they had some plots going on there. There is a twist right there that got me mindblown.
It's funny how Eight got post-endgame weapon and shield as their default gears in Smash Bros.

Munchie?

Somewhat all the DLC characters uses some assets avaiable in their home series;
-- Mementos most certainly borrows models from Persona 5 for the Phantom Thieves in the background (albeit downgraded)
-- Yggdrasil Altar brings a lot (if not all) assets from DQXI and Hero's Final Smash has DQ Arcade game models;
-- Spiral Mountain borrows some visual elements from its Nuts & Bolts design; and although not quite the same, since it looks more the N64 version, I believe Microsoft/Rare shared some material already done for Sakurai;
-- Some of the models in the KOF Stadium looks like from KOFXIV too, but again, heavily downgraded

Nope, this one is incorrect. Yggdrasil's Altar was made from scratch.
That's absurd! And not slightly surprisingly, since Sakurai said they made Midgar from scratch too.. Square Enix never seems to collaborate that much
Spiral Mountain was seemingly made from scratch too. The Fighters Pass is a bargain
If I remember correctly, said Irish death god is also voiced by the fella that voices Joker

He even got to bring gramps with him! What a good lad!
Okay here's a crazy theory:
Enix and Atlus, when Persona and Dragon Quest were first created, were separate from Square and SEGA. So technically all four characters characters revealed so far have been from companies that didn't already have characters in the game.
5 might be the same.

That's true. That's pretty cool of him allowing him to tag along. I do feel bad for him because he really messed it up for two people right here.
That's why some people were guessing that it might be Temco Koei or another companies earlier on.
That's the reason why people wouldn't be surprised if Hayabusa or a Bandai Rep would be the last one.
It's all been new series as well.
I see. Merger Theory.
Atlus merged with Sega.
Enix merged with Square.
Rare merged with Microsoft.
SNK merged with Playmore.
The next fighter must be coming from a company that was bought out or merged with another one! Tell Reddit. Get those Youtube theory videos out there.
Even if you don't take that theory into account, all that really leaves is Namco, Capcom, and Konami. Capcom took a hit on this Pass with the Capcom costumes coming with Banjo and uh... Konami is probably not getting a character just based on intuition. So I think that only leaves Namco as who people perceive as a "serious" contender for the final spot.
Koei will somehow get a Dynasty Warriors rep, because Nintendo sure loves making Warrior games. I don't know how or who since they're all based on real people or fictional characters not originating in games.
But if Amaterasu is still eligible, I'm sure some of the DW characters could be.

Broke: The Ice Climbers and Terry glitch is hinting at Agumon and Gabumon as partner characters
Woke: Cuphead and Mugman
Woke: Cuphead and Mugman
Anyone in here aware of PricewaterhouseCoopers gaming output?
Ah yes! I remember reading that. But it has a problem; the order of letters is all out of whack, and Atlus is inconsistent with Microsoft and Squeenix. Wait, that's two problems. Let me start again?
So I was wondering the other day...do we know what the third parties actually get from the Smash deal with Nintendo, besides the obvious prestige? there's so many companies now that surely they all wouldn't get a cut of the profits would they?
Is Source Gaming best source for Sakurai columns? I'd figure to look at games Sakurai likes to see who will likely be 5th fighter since so far 3/4 characters are blatantly from Sakurai's liking.
For translations of older columns, Source Gaming is the best place to look, yeah.
Well, if you want to look for games that Sakurai likes, I can certainly think of one.
There is about 4 different character architypes that get in Smash.
Characters who Sakurai love very much: or
Terry, Joker etc.
Characters who provide an extremely unique moveset for Sakurai's liking:
Piranha Plant, Mr. Game&Watch etc.
Characters who are HEAVILY requested by fans:
Ridley, K. Rool etc.
Characters who are for marketing/Nintendo asked for:
Corrin
Is there an architype I forgot?

Ninja Gaiden was also an arcade game first, but I hardly doubt these people are so informed they know to discredit Contra for starting life as an arcade game while also barely knowing the NES library outside of what was included on the NES Classic… wait Bubble Bobble and Super C were on that so who knows where their NES knowledge is from.
Contra is also the game that popularised the Konami Code which helped push its legacy (Would make for a cool taunt input easter egg).
I wonder what happened to that person who wrote an essay longer than the Bible on why Dragon Quest will never and must never get into Smash. Remember, Brave begins with B therefore it must be Banjo!
Super late response, sorry, but absolutely. Digimon Tamers are basically the Pokémon Trainers of the games (and the anime sometimes, like you know, Digimon Tamers lol).
It's not just Cyber Sleuth, it's every Story game and every World game, going all the way back to Mameo (who's basically the Trainer Red of Digimon as he was the protagonist of Digimon World).
If they were to choose anyone, I'd expect Mameo, or one of the Cyber Sleuth protagonists, since they're the most relevant and are associated with Agumon (who is 100% going to be the Digimon rep.), and I don't see Sakurai using the Digimon Survive protagonist who's too new.

Lol yeah, it's a pretty deep cut. And not only the endgame weapon, but its enhanced alchemy pot variant. They really outdid themselves with the fanservice.
Sakurai already included an anime reference with Terry's alternate costumes. He's gonna take a step further with #AnimeRepresentation by including Brave Heart and Evolution in the soundtrack that comes with Agumon.
I don't see why they can't include all of them in a world where SNK has 50 music tracks!
We have no idea what licensing costs them or how each contract is worked out.
But even if they took a small percentage of profit, rather than sales, it would still be worthwhile. I don't think we're looking at more than 5% on the back end, plus more for merchandise. With DLC being separate from the main game and having a much different deal.
I don't think a cut of the profit is that impossible, especially for the DLC, since it means each third party only would take a cut from their specific character rather than adding all up onto the base game.
Sakurai can use this as a negotiation tactic going forward. "Well, you could let us use just these two songs, but SNK was very generous..."
No joke but when I first heard this song I had to make pasta for dinner because it made me want it lol
