Pokemon and Fire Emblem are the only Nintendo franchises that are actually consistently creating new characters which is why they keep getting added to each new smash bros game. Rosalina is the most recently created Mario character to be added to smash bros and she is from a 2007 game. that is 16 years since Mario has had a new iconic character that people recognise. This is also true for Donkey Kong, Star Fox, Kirby, Metroid, Mother, etc. who aren't coming up with new characters (and rarely new games) that are at least main characters. Even BOTW which was the biggest Zelda game ever didn't introduce a single new character that appeared in the game enough that could be added to smash bros, just a slightly different Link. The only new first party Nintendo characters introduced into smash bros will be Pokemon and Fire Emblem, and then the rest will be third party characters out of desperation. thank you for reading my blog.

They will ALL be cut in the next game anyway.
Next game won't even have Wario
Roster will be 25 characters.
>Roster will be 25 characters.
My favorite thing about Ganker is morons confidently spewing bullshit
>Nintendo will never make a new Smash!
>Nintendo will cut everyone and the roster will be the size of Smash 64 again!
doesn't explain adding Chrom when Lucina was already in, let alone 'Robin' a glorified Mii
because who else can be added? most of the iconic franchises have so few left to pick from. Zelda could maybe have Skull Kid from Majora's mask or Ganon (not dorf)
>None of the fire emblem characters are in any way as recognizable as rosalina
i didn't say they were, i said the problem is that new Fire Emblem characters get created but Mario hasn't had any in ages. therefore Fire Emblem characters are the go-to for first party additions
While not a new character, pauline could have been a cool odyssey rep, he was pretty much the rosalina of odyssey
Just add Urbosa. This is she looks like in game by the way.
None of the fire emblem characters are in any way as recognizable as rosalina, don’t kid yourself. And metroid, zelda, and kirby have been creating a bunch of new characters yet metroid still only has 4 reps (3 if you don’t count echoes) and the latter two series haven’t gotten a new rep since brawl
It's sad to me that new characters matter. Ganon still isn't in, and I'd trade most of the FE fighters for Lyn.
There's no reason to keep adding more FE fighters when plenty of requested characters are still Mii costumes, Assists or PNGs.
If they need to shill the new FE title, they should make the newest FE character a skin for one of the existing FE characters, that way you still get your shilling and no one has to suffer another Corrin/Byleth.
Pretty much.
Neither Corrin or Byleth could plausibly work as alt costumes because the stuff they can do is simply too different from the other lords. The costumes would generally have to be older lords.
Byleth had so little going on that they had to steal the weapons he doesn't use to give him a varied moveset, you could reskin him as Marth and he'd work just fine.
They don't even take the new aspects from FE:TH like the gauntlet weapons or Byleth's rewind power, he could absolutely work as a skin.
Corrin I think was developed to be a Smash character first and an FE protag later, but my post was mostly referring to future FE MCs like the new toothpaste dude.
Byleth doesn’t even use all of his actual abilities, he is using the relic weapons to represent the 3 lords and because 3H is one of the only games without a sword locked Lord but you absolutely could have made a solo moveset with fists+sword+holy magic
I think no matter what you do Byleth is still a lackluster pick. Current Blyeth has a very standard moveset and his best attribute is his landing hitbox on nair. I found it really funny how his trailer emphasized his multiple weapon useage as his "gimmick" as if we haven't had arsenal characters since Melee.
A truly faithful Byleth The Character moveset (I guess based off his priest looking class I forgot the name) would be Robin 2, they'd need to go all in on his time rewind gimmick which in Sakurai's vision would just be another counter. Multiversus has a similar thing with Morty who uses a move to "rewind" time by warping back to where he uses the move and undoing his damage as well as saving him from being killed while its active and honestly it's a clusterfrick, I can see why they didn't go for it.
But both of you are missing the point of what I'm saying, getting characters who only exist in Smash to shill the newest FE title fricking sucks, especially since only FE and Pokemon break the whole "represents the previous generation" and other franchises need their games to actually come out and be successful before they get into Smash. We already got Corrin, who's widely reviled in both Smash and FE fanbases, and is a living example of why they shouldn't keep doing this.
The happy middle ground I'm suggesting is just make all these characters alt skins regardless of what they can actually do so we can get the shiny new FE character oh my god go preorder the new game right now!!! while still allowing devtime for characters that don't cause backlash years and years later.
I'd go as far as to say they should just put a zillion FE characters as alternate skins of Marth, Ike and Robin in the same veins as the Koopalings and just stop adding new ones forever, I cannot imagine anyone being unhappy with that scenario but then again FE fans have insane amounts of brainrot considering Chrom is popular.
>Byleth had so little going on that they had to steal the weapons he doesn't use to give him a varied moveset

Way to contradict yourself. Also, as long as Ivy isn't in Smash, a whip sword is already pretty unique.
They don’t need to add every new character from franchise
Anyone wanna play an Arena?
