It's also worth noting that Geralt is one of the suggested nominations and he doesn't originate from a video game.

Will he be allowed? I assume that even if he'd make the cut, he'd still get removed.

I'd bet Geralt will be allowed.

I think it'll be handwaved away even if the rule stays in place for other fictional characters.

I dunno, I tried to nominate a Witcher character last time, and the nom got rejected.

Then again, I don't think Witcher 3 was out by then. Does that matter?

As I understand it, Geralt from the games and Geralt from the books are the exact same person. The games aren't a spin off or reboot or anything like that. They are a direct continuation from the books. The Witcher is a popular game series for sure but there's no question that Geralt does not originate from a video game.

I mean Geralt was in the database from the start so I don't think Allen would list him and then not allow him

unless he's just not aware that he didn't originate in a video game

Witcher 3 is incredibly related to the books, his relationship with Dandelion, Zoltan, Triss, Ciri, Yennefer, Avallac'h, with the Nilgaardian Emperor, the wars of the Nilfgaard, the creation of the Lodge of Sorceresses, ectera all come from the books.

even if it turns out we're allowed characters who didn't originate in games, I doubt we could do real people like Shaq

but if we can my nominations will be like 100% real people. Let's get Tony Hawk in this thing. And Katt Williams (GTA IV). And every Beastie Boy.

I guess I should rephrase, it's an original story.

Then again by that logic maybe Arkham Batman should be allowed... hm.

It's the first time the nomination form/rules haven't said "originated in a game", and Geralt is in as TRE mentioned. However the real test will be when we get 100 noms for someone new (like Spider-Man, Vader, or Goku) and see if SB allows them onto the suggested list.

Which will hopefully be in a couple days.

Yeah it's pretty insane. I legitimately know 6 people that are waiting for Smash to be announced before they buy a Switch.

They should have released a deluxe edition of the Wii U Smash Bros asap after launch and then started working on an actual Smash 5 for a few years from now.
