With the way Pokemon is portrayed in Smash (much more emphasis is placed on the monsters as opposed to the human characters, which is minimal), it would be more likely that Garchomp itself would be the DP remake rep.

Unless they want to go nuts and put a Pokemon Legends: Arceus rep and have a Lucas/Dawn's ancestor trainer with Decidueye, Dewott and Cyndaquil.

I would be down with this if it filled in the three missing generations but I would also be down with a Team Grunt character with all 8 different team costumes ala Koopa Kids.

I would like whoever it would be to have either Machamp/choke or Blaziken as one of its pokemon at least. Gengar/Haunter would be cool as well.

There should be a character who fights by punching and kicking people. Hasn't been one of those in a little while.

Apart from possibly Banjo & Kazooie (and even then...), practically all the DLC characters have a unique gimmick attached to them because they probably don't want people to feel ripped off that they paid $5.99 for a basic character who could have easily been included in the base game.

I think it probably has more to do with the fact that, with so many characters in the game, it's difficult to make a new character feel distinct from all the others without giving them a gimmick.

I've heard that punching and kicking is all in the mind.

That means it's effectively PSI power.

So obviously Ninten should be the next character.

By this time of the year in 1996 Sakurai had already made a multi-million selling franchise in the form a Kirby and Kirby Super Star was just under a month away from release...

But he still had to wait in line like everyone else in Japan to get his Mew, what a scene.

Sakurai probably got the Mews by going to events because he wanted to, definitely seems like the type of dude to go out of his way for that authentic experience.

A reminder that the game will get an update to version 11 soon-ish so I think Pyra/Mythra will drop very soon after the direct tomorrow.

Maple Leaf

Let'en my post flyen true
The game has the "your game is about to be updated!" message as of this morning, and they usually only put that up the day before the patch drops. Also, a friend pointed out that characters we knew about beforehand (Banjo, Terry, Sephiroth) were released the same day as their presentation, while characters who we found out about the moment of (Byleth, Min Min, Steve [basically]) were released within two weeks.

So, odds are decent that the new patch and Pyra drop tomorrow.

I decided to pick up and play Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and I gotta say, I'm actually really hype for Pyra now. I haven't actually got to where Mithra shows up but I know she's cool too. Also the music in this game is going to be perfect for Smash.

Most of the XB2 cast are a lot of fun. Tora's a creep, but your third party member is probably my favorite in the game and the ones that come after are all pretty drat close to her level.
