No, that's not quite what he said. Let's actually get a direct quote here. Source, translation.
But how is that different from what I said? History and won't add anyone.

The Nintendo appearance thing is from the Cloud interview where he said he would have misgivings if he never showed up previously in Nintendo systems. The rest I said was just an assumption from the 70+ characters in the roster, but I didn't rule out characters outside these companies, they just aren't as likely.

But they did reskin it as Hello Kitty Balloon World for Famicom, didn't they?

Hello Kitty for Smash!
I was just thinking about it the other day and a sequel to a classic Nintendo game being reskinned with different characters is actually super weird

like, it's still blatantly a Balloon Fight game, but Hello Kitty's in it! very unnatural

I feel like Slime has the silliest face, but it stuck around for so long that it eventually became endearing.

Now I see why you were so negative with Super Mario RPG and Geno because you really want Sora getting in. I honestly think Dragon Quest and Kingdom Hearts have better shot at getting in Smash Bros before Geno tho.

I think SMRPG is the most overrated "Nintendo" game. I don't care for Geno. I love Kingdom Hearts and Sora is my second most requested character after Banjo and Kazooie.

If Sora actually has a legit change and wasn't immediately snubbed then there's no way Sakurai would go for Geno over Sora.

It's weird. Sora is by far more popular in general. In the Smash community I think Geno is more popular than Sora. Idk what's Sakurai's feelings are on Sora. I don't believe he's every talked about Sora.

He precedes that comment by saying that sticking to Nintendo-exclusive FF heroes would basically be silly, and immediately followed the comment by saying we should "forget console wars and just enjoy games themselves," so I wouldn't put too much stock into it. He generally downplays the importance of Nintendo-specific history. He cares, but it's not more important than general gaming history. "Something like a courtesy," as he said originally.

Doomguy would have no problem fighting characters like Bowser and Bayonetta, but the guys a big softie when it comes to bunnys and cute things (like the collectible dolls in doom2016)
His role in the story (if there is one) could be pretty funny
It'd be interesting given how Doom 2016's story had him as basically a god of destruction feared by all, yet he wouldn't rank in the top 10 strongest Smash characters.

And then I'm sitting here not wanting geno because I want fawful.

Well, you already explained yourself when I was curious why Dark Cloud was so down on SMRPG but now I realized that it was because of Kingdom Hearts and Sora.

Oh my God I didn't realize the anime-avatared Heath was Heath until just now.

He is more Heath than non anime avatar Heath

I'm sorry to disappointed y'all but I'm going to wear R.Kool avatar this Thursday.

I for one find solace in knowing our destinies are not pre-determined.

:okhand:

I mean,
I might have had misgivings if Cloud had never appeared on a Nintendo console in any form, though.

This doesn't mean Cloud would be ruled out, but it implies his chances would be down if he had no appearances at all in Nintendo systems. But yeah, he was chosen because of FF (japanese) gaming history first and foremost more than Cloud itself.

Sakurai: Final Fantasy (FF below) is one of the few uniquely Japanese game series revered by players around the world.

Let's pretend we get Sora from Kingdom Hearts.

What would be the stage you'd like to see? Mickey's Castle? Traverse Town?

It's weird. Sora is by far more popular in general. In the Smash community I think Geno is more popular than Sora. Idk what's Sakurai's feelings are on Sora. I don't believe he's every talked about Sora.

The main reason I think Geno is the most likely Square character, besides both Sakurai's own desire to put him in and his cult fanbase, is that he'd be by far the easiest character to put in while also probably being the biggest for the Smash community; even if characters like Fei Fong Wong or Neku Sakuraba are probably more generally beloved than Geno, they wouldn't elicit the same reaction from the Smash fandom.

If Sakurai had total free reign then we'd probably see Sora, Erdrick and Sephiroth before Geno was even considered.

I dunno man, Doom Slayer is pretty fuckin powerful, dude fought hell itself for eons and now both demons and humans alike piss their pants at the thought of him.


Speaking of, a cool CG trailer for him would be Bayonetta fighting some demons (the Bayonetta kind) and Doom Guy shows up.

Elysium
I just don't see us getting another Namco character unless it's Heihachi, possibly with a Kazuya echo. Mainstream Namco mindshare drops off a cliff after Pac-Man (and some other retro arcade games) and Tekken. Lloyd and KOS-MOS don't feel like playable character material to me -- they're more in the Bomberman and Shovel Knight assist trophy tier.

No way man. Have you seen literally any of her crossovers? It's a fighter or nothing.

Also a fan game called card sagas war released recently in fact and has a full blown move set of all her iconic moves. It plays somewhat like smash but the inspiration was from her crossovers for the move set. It's silly to say she's not capable of being a fighter.

Doomslayer vs Bayonetta is the matchup of the century.

I think Sora is unlikely because without Disney stuff it wouldn't be true to Kingdom Hearts but with Disney stuff it wouldn't be true to Smash. Sakurai just seems like he wants to put maximum care into each addition but Sora makes that impossible.

If there is one thing working in her favor it's Namco's love of putting her in crossovers.

Traverse Town or Destiny Island.

I think it's more likely that they probably going to based on Kingdom Hearts's Sora (first game).

I forgot Destiny Island. That's a good choice too. Maybe little Wakka, Tidus and Yuna in the background lol.
Destiny Island, but those are great choices too.

I just love the music of Traverse Town. It has that homey comfort feeling. It's like pure Disney.

Traveling stage between wonderland, halloween town, and jungle.

Ugh Halloween Town is tooo good.

Yup, same thing with Riku and Kairi.

I wonder who would be assist trophy? I guess it's more likely to be Riku, Mickey (if Disney is okay with it) or Axel.

If Doom Slayer makes it in (as DLC) I wonder if they will avoid Hell for his stage and just go with Mars, or maybe go with one of the less demonic places in Hell from Doom 2016 that has its own name.

I remember explaining to my girlfriend that Rick, Kine, and Coo from Kirby are named for the Land, Sea, and Sky respectively and she said "oh like the Kingdom Hearts characters" and it blew my damn mind

I haven't looked at this thread all evening and suddenly it's on page 132?

Well, I know that there's been a lot of KOS-MOS discussion tonight at least. She absolutely would fit on the roster and deserves a slot if Namco is getting another guest fighter.
