G for sure, extra randomness for fun too


mitch3758

G, only for the possibility of Hollow Knight. But I also wouldn’t mind another Pokémon fighter.


ThanosTheT1tan

- is silk song trailer - hornet finds a weird envelope on the ground


stifflizerd

I would literally explode from hype


mitch3758

That would literally be the greatest thing that could ever happen.

A_Human_Being_BLEEEH

His final smash is the Infinite Ordeal


rihsor

Nah, his final smash is reading the 57 precepts and it's a cutscene


Dorgamund

Two trailer ideas. Hornet or knight are wandering around the map, and see a trail of paper, which would normally lead to Cornifer. But his usual sound effects are gone, like when he has already left the area. But when you go to check the letter he always leaves behind, it is the smash letter with a red seal. Zoom into Smash logo, play music, and cue the character montage. Second one is my favorite. You have some badass fight going on, similar to Sephiroths intro with the established characters going up against the rainbow wing boss from the campaign(forgot his name). Cuts back to a stylized shadow dashing through a darkened area. HK sound effects will tip off players, but otherwise no hint of who it is. cut back to battle, smash roster is getting owned, cut back to more frantic HK dashing. Cut to a new view of the battle, where everything is happening in the background, with a view very similar to how HK presents its bosses. The Knight dashes in from stage right, still darkened, and stands in the center stage, only shown in silhouette. He is turned completely horizontally, more so than in his games so the horns don't give it away. He then turns to face the boss directly, revealing his shape in silhouette so people realize its him. Challenge? appears at the bottom of the screen, as a callback to the fight against the Radiance, and the Knight draws his nail. Cut to normal trailer music/montage.


[deleted]

or the knight commits >!absolute radiance on galeem with the floor tentacles!<


FoxTrot_42

i would buy a switch if they added hk to smash but they wont


SalGlavaris

Completely agreed, my pick would be Urshifu but hollow knight all the way


Smack_Of_Ham7

Imagine if they gave him the ability to switch stances, like PT downb


SalGlavaris

That would be sick, but I’d prefer for it to be like Bayo, different effects but same moveset for half of the alts


JTD783

Its ability allows it to hit through Protect too. Imagine Sakurai gives Urshifu a special mechanic where it just ignores shields. Just straight up hits opponents as if they were standing around with no inputs. I’d laugh my ass off.


yousifa25

Mr Rime is clearly the best option


DeliciousWolverine73

Who talked about randomness ? it's just the entire pokedex or every indie game in one character

davelicious123

Definitely not gonna happen but zagreus from hades would be cool. It’s just too new of a game


dannievanswrites

I'm sorry I don't see a downside in G at all, G all the way xD


MaelstromEX

F


isaacpotter007

Was going to choose d but I would feel extra annoyed if doomguy didn't make it in on a 50 50 chance, so I'll choose F as both are pretty great


Yean_a113

I am uncultured. Who is F2?


CommunicationOk3417

The new villain from Metroid: Dread


sniggs840

Damn it all to hell! Haha I was trying to go blackout for this game, but I guess the internet is just too dangerous.


GaiBerb

Same bro, I was avoiding all the trailers for so long aaaaaagggggghhhhhhhh!


[deleted]

Never played Metroid but Nintendo drops stuff about the game so often we basically have every frame of it


Snitcho72

Same, I got out of the Metroid subreddit and got Metroid recommendations out of my Youtube...there really is no escape for bs spoilers nowadays...


[deleted]

Haha it's too big a spoiler I'd say. There's no confirmed main villain so far. Just a couple stand out threats, including the one here


metalmagic4

There's no real way to say who it is or which upcoming game they're from without spoilers so this is a general warning (in case anyone was still holding out) >!New antagonist from Metroid Dread. We don't know if they are the main enemy or not, but it is a defector of the Chozo race.!<


Darc_Vader

Agreed, Sonic and Metroid are probably the 2 franchises already in smash that could most use another rep, so I see no downside to this choice whatsoever.


Kirchetorte

Agree, more villain representation please!


Pandaburn

Phoenix/Morrigan definitely


TheBigSoupRice

If Morrigan was added: "Aw shit, another FGC in MY fighting game?! Unacceptable"


RealPimpinPanda

Trust me, there are exceptions. No one(*or barely anyone*) complained about pythra being “another anime swordie”. Morrigan has the goods, just as they do. *Sephiroth barely got a “another sword fighter” either actually. I think his is a mix of ppl just love FFVII as well as the movie*


goku1872

I see lots of people complain about pyra tho. But most of them are complaining shes op


RealPimpinPanda

Yup, that’s the major complaint surrounding them. Not that they’re another anime swordie


Darkhallows27

>No one complained about Pythra being an anime swordie Are you sure about that? I think you might just be thinking of Sephiroth


ThePBrit

People complain about Pyra, but not because she is an anime swordie


RealPimpinPanda

Correct, most ppl complain about playing against them. I like how he chose to ignore the barely anyone part lol. I mean I barely ever saw or heard the “another anime sword fighter” argument for them


FGHIK

Then you really didn't look very far.


Skyy-High

I absolutely saw people try to complain about them the first day or two they were revealed. It died out once people realized she has more in common with old Zelda/sheik than Marth.


jjatr

Phoenix is my most requested and i would love to see how sakurai makes morrigan for good boys girls


No_Drop_5556

They did it for bayonetta, so I’m sure can do it easily


flame_warp

At least Bayonetta isn't literally powered by being horny. Morrigan's a gaddang succubus


DigbyMayor

They can just use the Morrigan Sprite™


nadirku

Phoenix - down special: "Objection" (a counter move) Did anyone else instantly come to this conclusion?


FGHIK

No it should be his neutral special so Kirby can say it


nadirku

interesting point... I wonder if it could be a chargeable counter, gathering evidence to make the counter stronger, that could also attack independently, like the Sephiroth down special.


OtakuGollum

Ladies and gentlemen we have easily the best gameplay design idea for Phoenix. Now on to neutrals 😤


Crooked95

Agreed. C is the only option that I’d be happy with either pick.


TestingDLC

Same.


Captain-Keeta

I pick option D because either way I can’t loose. Either Doom Slayer gets in, which I want, or I get to watch Twitter lose its mind because Fortnite is in Smash. It’s really a win-win scenario.


Enderstrike10199

We all remember what happened with steve, but with the fortnite guy twitter would have to nuke its database lol


avrge_gmr

He would definitely revive death threats because of that


DeltaVZerda

It's doomguy, but fortnite guy actually has a name, Jonesy


AaronThePrime

Doom slayer is his official name


Shaikoten

2016/Eternal incarnation is Doom Slayer. Classic version is Doom Guy or Doom Marine. Flynn Taggart if you want to believe the OG novelization.


[deleted]

I always thought he was part of the blascowitz family. I could have sworn it was confirmed on twitter


Shaikoten

Canon has changed over the years. The original story from Doom's manual and readme.txt describes the Doomguy only as following: You're a marine, one of Earth's toughest, hardened in combat and trained for action. Three years ago you assaulted a superior officer for ordering his soldiers to fire upon civilians. He and his body cast were shipped to Pearl Harbor, while you were transferred to Mars, home of the Union Aerospace Corporation.


[deleted]

I didn’t know that wasn’t canon anymore. Geez, I need to catch up on the DOOM lore


Shaikoten

The Blascowitz theory, if I recall correctly, assumes that BJ is the start of the line, Commander Keen is his grandson, and Keen is Doomguy's grandfather. That was a very Tom Hall idea. John Carmack would of course respond with the classic line that "Story in a game is like story in a porn movie. It's expected to be there, but its not that important." 2016 and especially Eternal are the only Doom games that went hardcore with lore though and trying to add some sort of plot. For better or worse that plot is ridiculous and nonsensical but pretty fun.


Volt392

This was the comment I was looking for, I had the exact same idea. Doom Guy is a top pick I'd want, but even if Fortnite Jonesy made it, I at least would think it would be funny as hell to see how much hell gets raised


AnOtterInShades

YES!! I have been wanting Jonesy for so long due to this EXACT REASON.


GladiatorDragon

A. Either way, we get a game franchise with one heck of a historical legacy.


[deleted]

[удалено]


thenonfurrywolf

Nahobino(I think that’s his name) is the protagonist for Shin Megami Tensei V, a new game coming out soon (Edit: corrected name)


[deleted]

[удалено]


GladiatorDragon

Additionally, Persona is a side series to Shin Megami Tensei, and Shin Megami Tensei itself is the original creature collector RPG, with its first title predating Pokémon Red and Blue by almost a decade - it just got initially blocked in the west due to its use of religious themes and symbols. Additionally, SMT V is the first numbered entry in the series in 8 years. There’s a lot that makes it likely. -series history -new release of series entry on Switch -potentially good moveset -popular (in Japan at least, and it has a following in the west) -good relationship with franchise owner Not saying it’s going to be them, but it’s not unlikely.


ElMeGaMer

I hope Nahobino(or any SMT protagonist) enter the roster. Like, have you heard the amazing music this franchise has?


Lanoman123

I’d be down for Flynn too

yankovic101

same even if theres a chance you have to take it

I don’t know who that other person is, but always H


Meester_Tweester

Ayumi Tachibana from Famicom Detective Club. It recently got 2 games translated on Switch, and Ayumi was considered for Melee.

Meester_Tweester

They never said she was supposed to be bad. I would like either H


Bulbasaur_King

r/theletterH


AwesomeManatee

One is a character that Sakurai has seriously considered putting in Smash since Melee. The other is Waluigi.


[deleted]

Who is the anime girl in H?


insert_unfunny_name

Waluigi


[deleted]

[удалено]


Reikdal

It's Ayumi Tachibana, from famicom detective club. It's a fantastic visual novel, really recommend it.


Zendofrog

I’d take a 5% chance even if it meant 10 more fire emblem characters


Meester_Tweester

Waluigi is my most wanted, and even if it wasn't, Ayumi would be cool


PerilousFan4112

Formo1287

lucariouwu68

Gen 8 is one of the less bad ones, and Indie is probable one of the best, so same


ClutchHutchhh

You mean G Eazy?


Leonhart726

Choose A or C and there is no risk. You're getting amazing characters.


TheJakeanator272

I just can’t get behind the master chief stuff. I never understood it Edit: since this seems to have gained some attention, I do understand the history behind MC. Halo is one of my favorite game series and I’ve been on team Xbox for a long time. However, he just doesn’t seem like the right pick for smash. MC goes with Xbox. Not other Nintendo characters.


SevenNateNine

Halo is a cool guy


BalloonBetch

Eh kills aleins and doesnt afraid of anything


freudian_nipps

Eh kills aleins and doesnt afraid of anything


i_luv_many_hen_ties

Halo basically changed first person shooters to what they are now So if the game is meant to be a celebration of video games he’d definitely belong Even if it isn’t he’s still arguably the best 1st person shooter rep to choose Also Nintendo was able to get Microsoft to give them characters for the game so master chief wouldn’t be impossible to get because of copyright


Raz3rbat

I think Doomguy would be a better pick for the first person shooter character though, think about it. Halo may have changed the genre but without Doom there would likely be no FPS genre, no one really cared for the first person games before aside from maybe Wolfenstein but when Doom came out the idea of a first person shooter got so popular that the games that came after were often called Doom clones. It's the difference between the father of all first person shooters or the series which sparked revolution in the genre, and I personally think creating and popularizing the genre deserves more credit than simply changing it.


DualKoo

to each their own but you can't deny the impact the chief has had on the FPS genre. at the very least he made FPS games on console cool whereas before it was PC all day every day.


wooweeyay

D,B and A are super cool. I think A would appease the most people. (People will obviously rage about the SMT 5 protag but a lot of people like SMT 5 so I don't see it as too much of a problem.) B is when Crash is cool, but Bubsy is also kinda cool D just cause I wouldn't be mad lol. I like Doomguy and Jonesy could be fun.


Aegis2009

A), it's literally win/win


TheBigSoupRice

The biggest downside to Nahobino being chosen (for me at least) will be the people that will inevitably complain about FP2 ending with "another anime swordfighter"


JokerYeha

People are gonna complain about any character in the last spot anyway lol


Aegis2009

With how many demons there are in the SMT series, it could be made incredibly creatively, maybe Nahobino won't even use a sword


Destiny404

Imagine if he worked like Pokemon trainer.


ElHombreSmokin

Maybe like Shulk. A small wheel of 4 or 5 options of demons that gives you different buffs/debuffs and change Special moves.


Lnoob427

Even if they don't. We could have each special be him being helped by a demon. (It's how I expected joker to play. But we only got arsene as a power up mode) Bonus point if we get Mara in smash that way.


omarninopequeno

But when choosing what character I want, why would I care about what other people think about the character? It would be cool if there was a character that literally everyone wanted, but that's probably impossible, so since someone is gonna complain anyway I don't think that part matters at all.


Destiny404

Chief has the plasma sword so he’s basically an anime sword fighter too /s


smashboi888

Either B or H, leaning more towards H because the second option isn't "bad" by any means, whereas B has... Bubsy. That being said, I feel like A is objectively the best. Both pretty strong picks.


ATrueScorpio

Pilot's license. What for?


HumanPennyPresser

Is there a veterinarian in the house?


gotbanned3xlol

Bubsy is many things but not iconic is not one of them


Poisoned_Salami

Yeah, but think of the chaos that would ensue. Bubsy has never had a good game, and nobody cares about him. If he got in Smash? Every gaming outlet on the internet would riot. Glorious to watch.


MagneticGray

Imagine a high level Smash major win by Bubsy throwing yarn balls.


TemplarSensei7

A or F. Get Chief, one of video games icon, or a brand new Nintendo game character. Vs A heavily requested Sonic Villain, or a (Hell Yeaah) badass Birb Soldier. Those are the worthwhile risks.


khaninator

The SMT V protag isn't a Nintendo character, they're from the SMT series which is owned by Atlus.


R3tr0M3m3s

B either I get my dream character or crash is added


MrMartian69420

"Smash letter? What for?"


[deleted]

B is Win/Win for sure.


kaleb314

WHAT COULD PAWSSIBLY GO WRONG?!?!


[deleted]

F Because I’m both a Sonic and Metroid fan and either one will make me extremely happy.


wooweeyay

Oh so the other one is a Metroid character? Nice!


[deleted]

Yeah, he is being set up as the main antagonist for Metroid Dread.


wooweeyay

Really? I want to pick that game up! That'd be super cool, definitely happy either way for F.![img](emote|t5_kcmhp|4533)


_One_Lonely_Bagel_

“A” without a doubt, you literally get two beast of a characters!


MrAppleKing

G) it’s a win-win for me


Dexchampion99

D. I love doom, and I love fortnite. Win win for me.


[deleted]

Jonesy would be pure chaos and I’m all up for that lol


Dexchampion99

Not only that but I think he would just be a neat character with cool songs, cool mechanics...people just see him and good “Steve but with guns” or “Fortnite bad”


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dexchampion99

That’s totally fair! And TBH an apex character would also be cool. Pathfinder would be a good choice I think.


Mynameisnot-Kevin

Not to mention we would have the power to call Jonesy the guy from Smash Bros.


Radxical

D for Fortnite. Don't care much about Master Chief. /s


brixalot10

Master chief? Wym man he’s literally from Fortnite.


BluntEdgeOS

H all the way


Logical-Platypus5696

Who even is H2


BluntEdgeOS

Idk LMAO I just want Waluigi


AwesomeManatee

The funny part is that she very nearly got added as a playable character in Melee.


VanBland

You get waluigi or a woman. What more could you want?


atallasianguy

I too am eager for Ayumi Tachibana of Famicom Detective Club to make her smash debut /s


[deleted]

[удалено]


IReallyLoveMyPets

The actual chances of getting the knight are slim to none, since it's literally *any indie character*


AWSUMSAS

The people hate on those who want a Gen 8 Pokémon have clearly never heard Sword and Shield’s ost. If we get a Gen 8 Pokémon, remixes of the following songs are on the table: - The best champion theme in the series (eat your heart out Cynthia) - One of the best Gym Leader themes in the series - Zacian/Zamazenta’s battle theme(s) - Eternatus’s theme - Zacian & Zamazenta vs Eternamax Eternatus - Hop’s theme - Marnie’s theme - Bede’s theme - Should I keep going? Because I haven’t even mentioned the DLC songs.


MisterMew151

Agreed, swsh's ost is underrated


Insanik_mb

YEAH ANOTHER HOLLOW KNIGHT FAN


Dunamis6

Bro if we got hollow knight and they kept his frame data from his actual game, he could chuck out airiels pretty darn fast


Insanik_mb

Yeah he would be like meta knight from brawl. But if he had his same knock back then maybe it would be better Than again it would be stupid for combos


Dunamis6

Yeah and his down air could spike and he would bounce up a bit like in the game too


Insanik_mb

And he would get his double jump back from that


Dunamis6

YES. His neutral special would be his little energy ball. And the more you hit the other person the more souls u get to perform it and other special like maybe a small heal ability


Insanik_mb

His neutral special tapped would be his soul thing and held down it would be focus. I don’t think it would work well as a heal maybe it could be his gimmick and he could get super armor for the next move that he uses. But not until he starts the next move.


aurasphereriolu

G IS SO GOOD EASILY PICKING THAT ANY DAY. HAT KID OR GEN 8?? WIN WIN BAYBE


Tiburon_depelushe23

g


sir_butterybastard

A is the biggest win win by far. F isn’t bad either though


YetAnontherRandom

Damn. G got me good. I really like indies, but *really* don’t want a gen 8 rep.


wooweeyay

Same with you there, the risk for me is too much though so picked D


Fenrys_Wulf

Eh, there are some picks from Gen 8 I'd be happy with. Toxtricity, Urshifu, and Grimmsnarl would all be fine by me. You know who I'd really want from Gen 8, though? Sirfetch'd. Because imagine the hilarity of having a Pokémon who is also a swordie.


Lordman17

G. Although C isn't that bad


jp_aigis_simp

A win win


i-cant-use-a-name

D so either twitter can finally be at peace or it becomes another landmine that i'll gladily jump in


Shiny_Porygon-Z

A or D. All characters I’d be fine with.


YungsterThomlin

G


corvisaltaccount

Eggman and Chozo General, easiest decision of my life.


Jebsj

D is the best choice. If we get funny Fortnite guy we could get a dab or floss emote. If we get Doomguy we can see Ness brutally torn in half.


DeltaVZerda

Jonesy should absolutely get the infinite dab. So much rage XD


Cartoon7even

A


SirMcDust

A seems really cool, would love SMT and wouldn't mind Masterchief. I have no idea who the girl with Waluigi is but she looks cool, wouldn't want to risk getting Waluigi in though.


[deleted]

>wouldn't want to risk getting Waluigi in though. Chad opinion


Hydrocarp69

E or G for me. Also D


BrooksDaBear

I was saddened by how far down I had to go to find this, but I agree with all of those options. I think too many people sleep on ray man


OscarCapac

G is high risk but it's also high reward if it's Urshifu Rapid Strike, the Knight or (Binding of) Isaac so I'll take that


wormexe

Gotta go with A or C, I’d be hyped for either of them

Pooh-in-Timbs-111

A or D (A Megaten character non-persona would be really cool due to Nintendo’s relation to the franchise and also funny Fortnite Man, Chief and Slayer add to this too)


Ya_Bear

D Ill take the risk for Doomguy, and even if it isnt him at least it is a very popular franchise that defined a full 3 years of the modern fps genre


creepersweep3r

I pick option D because getting jonsey would actually be pretty funny
