And people are surprised about Robin?

 

As for the question Flare Dragon asked:

 

There aren't any 'slots' in Smash Bros when it comes to Sakurai selecting characters.  He gets the characters he wants and goes for it.  Shulk and Cross can co-exist on the same roster as Xenoblade Chronicles representatives.

 

And Melia >>>> Fiora

Okay thing I have to say. Yes there's no slots. However it is true that it is more likely that he'll choose a certain number of characters depending on the game.

However yeah two Xenoblade characters COULD fit, especially with recent popularity.

He's not likely to add another one because whatever character that could make it in won't get the votes and even with XC's recent popularity, most people you talk to (who haven't played the game, which, again, is a whole lot of people) still don't know any characters other than Shulk.

It's more of a wish, but it looks like I'll have to vote for Cross on another computer.

 

Still, Cross would be a good concept as a roster character due to being able to switch between two combat styles without changing his form.  Plus, that's another gender-swap character (which is always good).

I'm working under the assumption Sakurai would only want one Xeno rep and who has first dibs on it. The new character would make sense to promote, but based on Ness and Marth sticking around as well as Shulk being identifiable now leads me to think Shulk would be first in line.

I could see Cross making it, just not right now.

There aren't any 'slots' in Smash Bros when it comes to Sakurai selecting characters.  He gets the characters he wants and goes for it.

There is, however, a certain amount of time and effort necessary to go into making the game.

 

We can think, instead, of possible character inclusions more like a list than a few slots. There are x amount of characters on the list in an order of Sakurai's choosing. Characters higher on the list would therefore have priority to be included and how many of those characters would be included down the list and where the cutoff is, is in all likelihood based on Sakurai's want to include a particular character or have a representative for a particular franchise weighed against the time and effort he would need to put in to getting it into the game.

 

When people say things like "_____" character could have been "_____" character instead, they aren't necessarily referring to 'slots' as much as they're referring to their opinion that those two specific characters weighed differently than Sakurai's opinion. After all, particular characters people want in the game are likely much higher on their own personal list than on Sakurai's.

 

Of course, there is some precedence for "slots" but it's not like "this is open and who can fill it?" Remember that Greninja was originally just designated as "XY Pokemon." Sakurai didn't know what pokemon he wanted in that spot, but he knew he wanted an XY rep and was willing to put in the effort do make it so. Greninja caught his attention, as well it should, and became a fighter.

 

I do, however, think that the size of a franchise and how many characters already represent it in the game, as well as other factors, significantly pushes down specific characters from inclusion, which is why no one expects a second xenoblade chronicles character.

Lol
You say you're not good, but you seem to always do well from the stories I hear

WHO SAYS THESE STORIES AND WHY DO THEY LIE
 
 

He seemed fine when I played against him. Could probably use more variety, though.

Hey, I spam PK Fire, that makes me a pro. Just ask Armz.



Also I guess this shouldn't come as a surprise for anyone that's known me on this forum for any small length of time, but Pit is now one of my best 2 characters.

Don't know how that happened. Probably because I'm obsessed with pit

That's the first time I've beaten someone online with Pikachu

Shradow can you enter the lobby if DL is in it? I have to exit out to add you, tho I suppose I could just make a new lobby.

Yeah you can. :3

 

Also lol. I guess I should use someone I'm actually good with XP Ganon is what I use for hilarious side B shenanigans but against Pikachu, cuz of his projectile and speed, its hard to get off xD
