Why is it called "Ultimate" when neither of them are in the game?
Smash Bros Ultimate
>Before
>OMG BANJO IS THE ONLY ONE I NEEDED YESSSSA
>After
>But we need Crash and (insert other cereal mascots)
Kill yourself furfag
That's why it's ultimate user, shitty third parties are not allowed, only good ones.
Crash Bandicoot is a character, Doomguy is a spirit.
who are you quoting
>how can you call it a pizza when it doesn't have pineapple
>sonic and banjo are characters
To make room for more FE and Pokemon of course.
where is the tf2 rep? travis touchdown?
Because Chun comes first, silly
Then why is joker and Bayonetta in the game if only the good ones are allowed.
you got those two switched my guy
Meh, at least they're not another shitty sonic character or the jailbait.
Western franchises get Mii costumes. Banjo-Kazooie is the exception.
Fuck you, they both deserve the be characters. Doomguy is the most important FPS character ever, and Crash is the last truly iconic 90s rep.
>Western franchises get Mii costumes
more like indies and less popular franchises or characters who have no business being playable.
And why is he the exception?
>the most iconic platformer mascot after Mario & Sonic
>the godfather of the FPS genre
I just don't get why it's taking so fucking long for Sakurai and Nintendo to put them in the game.
>deserve
there's that word again.
In a game that's marketed as "a celebration of gaming", It's kind of hard to argue their lack of inclusion.
>a celebration of gaming
Sakurai likes to lie too you know.
Probably because of massive fan demand, and the fact that they're basically honorary Nintendo characters as Nintendo published their first two games worldwide during the N64 era and were treated as major mascots.
By your logic, Crash should be in too.
>massive fan demand
>connection with Nintendo since a bunch of his games are on Nintendo consoles (even more so than Banjo)
>been around for as long as Banjo
>far more successful and iconic worldwide
You could easily make comparisons for a lot of popular characters.
What else am I supposed to say? This is a rosterfag thread and 90% of people's reasoning for getting in Smash is whether and why they "deserve" to be in or not. If they have moveset potential, if they're relevant enough, if they fit Smash, etc...
I am perfectly aware that it's selfish to claim certain characters "deserve" to get in based on my personal love for them, but considering the normal way Yas Forums Smash threads go, you cannot really afford to mess around with semantics.
>another SF rep
At least post Mai Shiranui
See you at E3!
Both are too good for that trashfire
Here is the list of the last few characters who should really be put in
>Dr. Eggman
>Zero
>Raiden
>Shadow
>Mecha Sonic
>Leon Kennedy
>Master Chief
>Fulgore
>Alucard
>Sir Arthur
>Dante, Doomguy or Rayman depending on if there's room.
Prove me wrong.
>Mai
>Over Geese
Nope.
>Both are too good for that trashfire
and Simon Belmont is not?
and Pac-Man is not?
and Mega Man is not?
at this point you look like an asshole if you arent in the game.
Because they have to pay money to those companies and I am sure Activision and Bethesda are asking for a shit ton of money because Smash literally prints money for Nintendo
>Master chief
Kill yourseld
>all that Sonic bloat trash
>Sir Arthur
>no first parties
Leon Kennedy is the only reason I'd ever call that list anything above a 0/10.
It's a children's game so who cares?
>It’s an “it’s not a good game until my list of specific choices for fighters is in” thread
His games weren't published by Nintendo worldwide. That's the big distinction between Banjo and other western characters.
>Dr. Eggman
You could make an argument for a lot of popular villains.
>Zero
He doesn't really need to be in. He's fine as a trophy
>Raiden
not Scorpion? That's weird considering he's the mascot.
>Shadow
lol no. Tails, Knuckles, and Eggman should be in before that edgy faggot.
>Mecha Sonic
You really are a shameless Sonicfag
>Leon Kennedy
Could make the same argument for Jill.
>Master Chief
Mediocre games that's only relevant due to being directly attached to a console.
>Fulgore
A classic fighting game mascot and it would be cool if he was in but it's not a must.
>Alucard
Simon is Castlevania. Alucard is fine as a trophy.
>Sir Arthur
agreed.
>Dante, Doomguy or Rayman depending on if there's room.
It's weird of you to name 3 fucking Sonic characters, lesser known fighting game characters, and Master Chief yet Doomguy can get in if theirs "room". Are you out of your mind?
Steve's really need to leave.
By your logic more rare characters should be in
You're right but it doesn't change anything, Sakurai/Nintendo just weren't interested in making Doomguy a fighter.
Yeah?
>Leon
>Same argument for Jill
I disagree. Leon would easily be the best and most likely choice. He's the main protagonist of all three most popular and famous (in 6's case, infamous) Resident Evil games, he's easily the most likeable and memorable protagonist as well.
>Yas Forums is one person
Is it retardation you're inflicted with user?
What kind of zoomer retard would ever be against Arthur? He's the next logical classic Capcom character.
>source: my ass
They're a Stevefag, what do you expect?
Raiden from Metal Gear, preferably Rising.
>Mecha Sonic
>Bad
I'm thinking he's in
Why is it called "Ultimate" when they're in the game?
He's just going to respond with the thing the director of Doom Eternal said even though it doesn't mean Bethesda hasn't approached Nintendo about the idea.
We already have more than enough Capcom characters, Jesus fuck. We need more fucking Nintendo characters. The third party circlejerking is fun and all but there are still more genuinely important Nintendo characters that I think have way more business being in than Sir Arthur.
You still here?
Stevey Stevey, cope and seethe
Was btfo'd, and still won't leave
All versions of Doom 64 will have a new chapter.
What first parties are even left that aren't bottom of the barrel shit? Everything people wants is boring generic shit. At best I want some Unique Retro/Hardware reps like Diskun or an Advance Wars or Rhythm Heaven rep.
Oh shit it's actually happening.
Well, yes, and?
>We need more fucking Nintendo characters.
Most of the game is Nintendo characters. Most of the great ones are playable. We don't need more secondary Mario characters and literal whos.
doomfags are reddit tier i'm glad they got deconfirmed right at the start of this pass's announcement
Actually he did say specifically that they approached Nintendo with the idea but it just didn't come to anything, trust me I know Marty he's a good sort.
What, you don't wanna play as Donkey Kong Jr?
>Imagine hating a character just because of the company they come from
Same goes for the people who shit on more rare characters
On the way, my friend.
who, Mike Jones?
I don't mind Doomguy, but isn't he dead in the water since that one guy at Bethesda said Nintendo hasn't reached out to them?
It upsets me cause I'm a Stevefag but I have to be associated with this cringe. Just give me Steve and Banjo and I'd be fine but now I'm grouped with these autists who admittedly had a funny joke but now its been buried
not that guy but unironically yes
Mike Jones would be cool
Yup, they tried to reach Nintendo about it but they would rather add in good characters instead
>isn't he dead in the water since that one guy at Bethesda said Nintendo hasn't reached out to them?
The pass ends by the end of 2021. There's plenty of time.
He's been in since Smash 64, the hell you talking about?
Personally I think there are plenty of interesting Nintendo characters that are both important to their series and genuinely interesting. Three I can think of are:
>Dark Matter (Kirby)
>Porky (Mother, this one's a conundrum, not sure why he isn't at least a spirit)
>Fawful (Mario)
All of them are interesting characters that would bring to Smash what isn't already in there. One is a formless hivemind that would be a perfect contrast to the other Kirby characters, the next would focus on mech attacks and cool Giygas-looking shit, the last would be the perfect representative for the part of Mario that's sorely misrepresented in Smash, the RPGs.
Go ahead and attack my taste or whatever but I still think Smash should be Nintendo-centric with third party guest characters. It's obvious that every third party we get is gonna be another main protagonist of their game plus the first level as their stage or something. Nintendo reps offer more variety.
All of them are better fitted for poke-balls, trophies, spirits, stickers.
That's his son.
Seriously, why do people want more Nintendo characters? What is wrong with more third parties? We've gotten so many of the required third parties that now the only ones that Sakurai can add are usually scraping the bottom of the fucking barrel or shill-picks. You could make arguments for Bandanna Dee and Rex and whoever else but at the end of the day, each franchise has there most important reps.
Do you want more first parties? Cool, then you'll just be getting fucking Incineroar and Byleth. Not your fucking Isaac or Saki but even more niggas from franchises that don't need more.
>What first parties are even left that aren't bottom of the barrel shit?
Adeleine, the plant and King boo alone are more interesting than everyone in the Pass.
No, that is retarded logic. The interviewer asked "did Nintendo approach you guys about Smash," he said no. That means nothing. What do you expect him to say? "Oh yeah definitely, Doomguy's coming next month, don't tell them we told you though"?
The fuck are you on about? They're objectively not. I say that as a Kirby fan who likes Adeleine
All the characters were already decided. Cope
