Yes Sonic, I wasn't thinking when I omitted him. Sonic is a shoe-in. Moreso than Pacman I think

Yeah, I expect nothing and am prepared for more let downs.Honestly, not even the first party roster are safe as there is no way that all of them are coming back, barring the staples.
But I can see the Sega characters staying, especially Sonic.
I can see Sonic, PAC-MAN, Mega Man, and Bayonetta staying.
the rest are probably one-time only
I don't think it'll be a let down. Honestly... some of the mainstay characters like Mario and Link have movesets that I think are outdated and they could use an overhaul.Yeah, I expect nothing and am prepared for more let downs.
... Let down might be too much of a phrase, it just feels like Ultimate's "Everybody is here" was an ordeal that won't be repeated and that the surprise returning characters and the smaller franchises won't be so lucky in the future installments. It won't just be 3rd party characters who won't get reinvited.
They should just keep using this game and keep adding characters and game modes until the day I die.
They said that, yes.
SNK (FF/KoF/AoF/SamSho/etc.) has the 2nd largest number of songs in the game, behind only Mario. Terry isn't going anywhere.I can see Sonic, PAC-MAN, Mega Man, and Bayonetta staying.
the rest are probably one-time only
are companies asking that much if at all for the 3rd parties? its free publicity and visibility if the roster gets substantially cut will most likely due the workload, you know like the pokemons, and sakurai would get riots and death threats by the certified neckbearded and manbabies.
If it's a matter of negotiations, if Sonic returns, Bayonetta & Joker will probably follow (Sega & whatnot). If it's a matter of slimming down the roster, then yeah, Sonic is the safest by virtue of his third-party perfect attendance.
JASRAC gets a certain percentage of every item sold with Dragon Quest music in it. Hero is never going to be in a default Smash roster due to this.I find it weird people are grouping DQ and FF together. DQ globally is way more niche than FF so they stand to gain more by keeping Hero in while Cloud might need stricter handling due to FF7R.
I have a feeling that Ultimate will go on until we get whatever the "Switch 2" is.This thread makes me sad. I just want Ultimate to go on forever.
Money can resurrect anything
My gut feeling is the next Smash wont try to top Ultimate and a lot of first and third party characters will be cut in favor of new characters.
You're right. But Sonic will be the first movie trailer design.
There will probably never be another Smash Bros game ever again. Sakurai will probably retire before a 7th Smash Bros game gets made.
If one ever did? Almost every character would get gutted (both 1st and 3rd party) and you'll end up with a roster of around 20-30 characters at most.
That was half a joke. With the roster likely shrinking and Sakurai out, I don't look forward to what's beyond the ultimate Smash.I highly doubt that Nintendo will stop making Smash games. That'd be like them not making anymore Mario games.
Also, Smash Ultimate is called Smash Special in Japan, so your argument doesn't hold that much weight.
How are you enjoying Konami's output?
As I said earlier, as someone who loved Splatoon & ARMS, I'd be curious to see what a younger team could bring to the table.That was half a joke. With the roster likely shrinking and Sakurai out, I don't look forward to what's beyond the ultimate Smash.
Granted, I also don't care about Kosmos and shit.

Like I said, I doubt Nintendo's gonna let Smash die after Ultimate. It'd be like letting Mario die after Odyssey.There will probably never be another Smash Bros game ever again. Sakurai will probably retire before a 7th Smash Bros game gets made.

Not enough potential money to bother resurrecting compared to their actual business interestsThat was half a joke. With the roster likely shrinking and Sakurai out, I don't look forward to what's beyond the ultimate Smash.
