I dont even like Goku, but its weird to say he wouldnt fit just because hes an anime character. They started as games first, but the Pokemon and Fire Emblem characters have anime all over them. Sonic never seemed like he would really fit to me. Snakes from an entirely different genre and nobody in the Smash series looks more out of place than Game & Watch. Goku would be one of the least weird non-Nintendo series picks they could make

I mean the attitude around this smash is definitely better than it was around smash 4. People were regularly angry about snubs, but here we're happy to even get new characters, and each one is a blessing. Obviously some people are still whiny but those are the types of people who will be whiny even if the character they've been begging for for years made it in.

So who's the 3rd party company most important to Nintendo that still doesn't have a rep? I'm thinking Level-5? Sure they haven't had much home console support, but they did magic for the DS/3DS (at least in Japan anyway), and they've already got their attention set on the Switch.

Not a 3rd party company, but it's hard to ignore the importance of Rare during the SNES and N64 days. I'm not sure how difficult Microsoft would be if it came down to negotiations for Banjo-Kazooie (or Conker or Joanna Dark).

Though I guess you can argue that Rare is in with Diddy Kong...

I don't think it's 100% proof obviously, but it seriously raises his chances for me to be honest. I mean sure the picture is cool and all, but it just seems way too weird that Sakurai would just randomly post it, ESPECIALLY with that Golden Sun battle composition.

I kinda agree, I'm being cautiously optimistic. I certainly don't consider it 100% proof by any means, but the similarities are way too uncanny, right down to Link holding his sword in the same position as Felix's idle stance. That combined with the fact that it's widely believed that Isaac did about as well on the ballot as Ridley and K. Rool gives me some hope.

Maybe Nintendo is the hold-out. I wouldn't blame them if that's the case.

I think Ubisoft with Rayman would be the biggest / most likely at this point. Nintendo and Ubisoft are doing weird crossovers lately and Ubisoft's been a big early presence on recent Nintendo platforms.

I bet if this board were archived you'd find ten year old posts of me saying they should put Jack in Brawl.

but Harvest Moon has fallen off significantly at this point and it was never on the level of Castlevania so I think Jack just missed his chance.

Ubisoft was my second guess, but I felt like their gusto for Nintendo support hasn't been as prominent for as long.

This is kinda true

Definitely think Solid Snake is more out of place than Goku by far in any case. And I loved Snake being in Brawl don't get me wrong but he was easily the sorest thumb there ever was and likely ever will br unless Master Chief actually does get in someday.

Cloud was more unexpected (Twin Snakes existing made it not totally left field for Snake to pop up) but not more out of place I feel. Cloud is probably the most at home of all the guest characters on design aside from maybe Sonic.

Also if they wanna compete with Tekken 7's NEGAN they must include Goku

I feel like Snake stands out the most because he's the closest to being just a real dude living in the real world.

Most of these characters come from weird fantastical places and he's just from a version of Earth that has more big robots and nanomachines.

Negan is so out of place that Goku wouldn't register. You'd need something like Fraiser or George Costanza to match that.

I like fanart that depicts Ridley and K.

Goku would be one of the least weird non-Nintendo series picks they could make

I don't think the argument against Goku has anything to do with his appearance. Aesthetically, he would certainly fit right in just like Cloud did...which is weird that anyone thinks he didn't. He literally looks like a random Fire Emblem character or something.

But Goku didn't originate from a game. You know who else has been in dozens of games? Batman.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Batman_video_games

Doesn't mean he should be in Smash. I still think the series should stay true to itself as a celebration of video game characters and only video game characters. The Goku thing is getting really old at this point. If they actually did end up putting him in, I wouldn't really care. I wouldn't like, refuse to buy the game or throw a big fit or anything, but it would just be kind of dumb and feel soulless to me.

Cloud only looks like a Fire Emblem character if your metric is 'anime-style person with sword'. The ridiculous hair alone makes him look distinct from everyone else in the cast. With that said he fits in fine in Smash Bros.

I find this especially interesting given that K Rool and Ridley were added, Wolf was brought back, and Ganondorf was (probably) upgraded quite a bit

Villains getting their due in this game seems to be a theme

I think it's just a lucky coincidence rather than a conscious choice by Sakurai. We'll know if more villains show up like, I don't know, Black Shadow and Pokey.

I've seen a surprisingly large number of people wanting Porky added as a playable character. I don't get the appeal, personally. I like the games he's in but there is just no way to make him a character and not have it feel really fucking weird. Even assist trophy would be really odd. Subspace Emissary did the only thing that really makes sense as a way to include him, honestly
