Good video! I very much agrees on your front runner choices, it makes this fighter pack have an RPG theme to it. I’m also cool about Crash and Rayman being in Smash but Banjo and Kazooie not so much, my feelings on it is that despite fan popularity the Bird and Bear haven’t had new game in years compared to Crash who has been getting a revival and possible newer games in the future and Rayman which his company and Nintendo have a good partnership. If Microsoft wanted one of their characters in Smash, they are better off using Steve or Master Chief (mr first-person shooter). Hey have you also heard about the datamine news about how they discover that there are 13 more character spots in the smash roster? That would be a good discussion.
I also think that there is a lot more third party characters that could be consider as either frontrunners or plausible.
Hayabusa
• Dragon Shinobi
o Gameplays focuses on high speed and powerful sword strikes and fist attacks but easy to knock off
o Could use different ninja weapons for Smash attacks such as Chain and Sickle, Bo Staff, Dual Katana, Scythe etc.
o Could also use Ninjustu techniques for long range attacks and recovery
Sophie Neneumiller (Atelier Series)
• Acclaimed Alchemist
o Gameplays focus on collecting materials in the arena or from other players to create combat items such as Uni bags, Bombs, Puni Missiles Etc
o Could also add different effects to Smash items such as adding a sleep effect on a boomrang.
o Could also use staff as a weapon and could use bodyguards as smash attacks
Terra/Sora/Edea Lee
• Battle Mage Esper/Of Hearts/ Bravely
o Gameplay focus on Final Fantasy Magic such as Fire, Blizzard and Thunder while each one has their gimmick.
o Terra could shift into her Esper form to make her attacks stronger. She could also summon Shiva, Titian or Garuda as her final Smash
o Sora could use moves like Strike Raid, Sonic Blade, Ars Arcanum or game mechanics like Reaction Commands, Flowmotion, Drive Forms, Shotlock
o Edea Lee could use different ability/move from different classes such as Knight, Monk, Samurai, Ninja, Pirate, Valkyrie, Singer. She could also gather Brave Points and use them to boost special moves.
Laharal
• Netherworld Overlord
o Gameplay focuses on attacks that can not only hit one person but several, similar to moves in tactics game. Attacks have unique hit boxes and are hard to pull off but causes massive damage.
o Character can use several weapons such as swords, spears, axes, staffs, bows, guns and magic
o He could also get support from his minions and his vassals like Etna, Flonne and Sicliy
Leon S Kenny
• Zombie Survivalist
o Gameplay focuses on survival, good speed and some moves enable easy escape but character has somewhat low attack and can be launch easily.
o Character special moves have limited ammo, uses grenades, daggers, flash bombs, Spark guns and Flammethrowers
o Zombies and BOWS appear with the character and character can dodge the monster and the monster could attack the other player character
A Soul Calibur character(Sophita? Siegfried? Ivy?)
• Sword of History
o Gameplay focuses on high, middle and low attacks. character is a Arena fighter so gameplay should reflect that
o Technique should reflect real life fighter style of the character
o Perhaps character attacks could “break” the armor of other characters making them easier to launch while also risking breaking their own armor.
I can’t help but point out the flaws in his research. Firstly, there are many characters that he predicts that would seem like a waste of time and money. Namely characters like Monster Hunter that already have series representation in Smash Bros. Rathalos is a boss and assist trophy that is already designed to attract Monster Hunter Fans to the product. Just like adding a 2nd Sonic character, what would it do that that first character hasn’t already done?
Secondly, it seems like he dove head first into the Erdrick rumors without giving any second thought as to whether or not it could just be another hoax. Any leak that associates Minecraft Steve with Microsoft instantly loses its credibility because it’s reporting on something that isn’t even true. If Nintendo were to inquire about a Minecraft character, then Mojang would be the company to go to. Lego, Fox, Telltale Games, and many other companies had to go to Mojang for merchandising deals, not Microsoft.
Thirdly, mob characters like Geno & Banjo Kazooie. The only way that these characters would be in Smash Bros. is if Nintendo could see how they could sell a lot of copies of the game with them. I fail to see how for either one.
