If staying power and legacy were all that mattered, Bayonetta wouldn't even be close to Smash.IMO there does not exist an indie game character that has enough staying power and legacy to even be considered for Smash.

Yeah, I know, people having their favorite characters in games they enjoy really sucks.None.
In fact, I wish Smash was more exclusive. Too many third parties. Sonic is a third party regular on Nintendo consoles, so he makes sense. Pacman, too, to an extent. But Cloud, Snake, and all the other PS mainstays can hang out with their friends and fester on All-Stars Battle Royale 2 or whatever the name of the next Smash rip-off.
Forgot about Cave Story, that would be a good addition too.

Okay, a dating sim protagonist is definitely not what I expected. Could be a really funny character.
None.

I play smash bros to play as Nintendo characters. Big name 3rd parties are cool, but I think we have enough at this point.

If we're going by pure impact on the industry, basically nobody measures up to Steve from Minecraft.
Though I guess Minecraft no longer counts as indie.
Kasumi is meh as fuck. If it has to be someone predictable, let it be Ryu Hyabusa.Yep, represents a whole new genre and pays tribute to keiko erikawa too. We'll probably just get stuck with Kasumi though if tecmo ever gets a rep.

But I'll take Angelique over both of them.
Black Ryu has the Vigoorian Flails though. I loooooooove the Vigoorian Flails.Ryu i could tolerate if he's classic. Other than Angelique a Deception character would be interesting from a gameplay perspective.
Is Bayonetta now a big video game icon? She's playable because she won a popularity poll.Shovel Knight is the only answer. If that.
It's not iconic enough.
It's not like Nintendo is forcing you to pick a non-Nintendo character. You'll always have Samus and Fox and Wario available if you want to play as them, so what's the problem in having more third party fighters? I wanna see Phoenix Wright there (I know he appeared on Marvel vs Capcom, but I'm not a fan of traditional fighting games) just as much as some characters from the Paper Mario series (like Rawk Hawk, Dimentio or O'Chunks)..

From Ubisoft I think it should be either Rayman or the Prince from Prince of Persia, although I wouldn't be opposed to a Rabbid in Smash.The green arrow Pokemon from sun and moon to replace fucking Lucario.
Nintendo x Ubisoft relationship continues to be super strong so I wouldn't be surprised if one Ubisofness character gets in. I hope it's Rayman and not a rabbids.
Shovel Knight does have a chance now that the game was published by Nintendo in Japan.
All the big Japanese companies have a rep in smash beside tecmo koei. If ninja gaiden was still popular ryu Hayabusa from ninja gaiden might still had a chance.
Anyway inkling girl, spring man, captain toad, what ever the fuck next Fire emblem's MC is are basically all confirmed at this point.

They're not "otherwise solid rules", LOL.You're right. Bayo doesn't matter at all in those regards. Hence why the only way she got in was via a ballot where those otherwise solid rules were thrown aside.
Versus a half-dozen Fire Emblem characters, or Dark Pit, or Ice Climbers? Or some random ass Pokemon?IMO there does not exist an indie game character that has enough staying power and legacy to even be considered for Smash.

If anything it'd be Incineroar to replace Lucario I'd think, since he seems to be getting the bigger push(i think?)The green arrow Pokemon from sun and moon to replace fucking Lucario.

Though Lucario is never leaving and I'm glad. Love getting them 200~% Aura Spheres

The half dozen Fire Emblem characters is just fucking weird when you actually look at the 3DS game sales. Yeah, they were successful, but successful here was almost reaching 2 million sales per game, on the same system where Animal Crossing New Leaf cleared 10 million and Tomodachi Life and Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon cleared 5 million.Versus a half-dozen Fire Emblem characters, or Dark Pit, or Ice Climbers?

Also shit I forgot Dixie Kong is so gonna be in smash 5.
They're not "otherwise solid rules", LOL.
First it was "Just Nintendo characters." Then with Snake it was "Third party characters had to be icons with a significant history on Nintendo consoles." Then with Cloud it was "Third party characters had to be icons, significant history on Nintendo consoles is optional." Then with Bayonetta was "Third party characters can also get in if they're really popular with Smash fans."
And it's not just third party characters. Melee had a character who was literally an advertisement for an upcoming game, and invented another character entirely to represent the Game and Watch units. What solid rules do those fit under? None, because there are no rules beyond "Who the designers decided to put in the game."
I think it's mostly what Sakurai wants, considering Snake was advertising a PS3 game in Brawl.Isn't the rule just "What Sakurai want" and "What Nintendo want/allowed"? People can say they want what characters to join smash. But eventually Nintendo wont agree unless they're characters Nintendo want to promote or characters Sakurai convinced Nintendo that can help marketing Smash as a franchise. That's the reason why Bayo need the ballot to join and why it's unlikely for indie characters to join.
That's what we all said for Smash 4....
Sakurai slipped on one of Diddy's bananas and decided there should never be another Donkey Kong character in Smash.That's what we all said for Smash 4....
Question as someone who hasn't played the game: How the hell would you make a moveset that reflects the whole "Using dozens of people as a living weapon" aspect?We also need some Wonderful 101 love, for sure. Would be a perfect fit!
They'll think of something. Many characters have improvised movesets already lol.Question as someone who hasn't played the game: How the hell would you make a moveset that reflects the whole "Using dozens of people as a living weapon" aspect?
Not rhetorical, I honestly would really like to know how Wonder Red would play.
I know, but I'm trying to think of how they would adapt the Wonderful 101 more faithfully than what they did with Fox and Captain Falcon.They'll think of something. Many characters have improvised movesets already lol.
Nah green arrow Pokemon is way more popular. See it being the only new gen pokemon in pokken deluxe switch.
Fuck Lucario
Also why are people wanting beck? And yokai laylee both games crashed and burned. No way are those characters ever redeamble
Also shit I forgot Dixie Kong is so gonna be in smash 5.
