Bringing everone back was done because characters like Snake, Wolf, and Ice Climbers were massive fan requests after their cuts.Įver since Brawl, Smash's roster was chosen less in terms of filling cracks in terms of arbitrary representation and more about filling cracks left due to a new generation. If even the most niche third parties like Terry and Joker have arguments for a celebration of gaming, I think its clear the selection was not "random". Minecraft is the biggest game of all time. Persona 5 is the biggest JRPG release of the past ten years. Final Fantasy 7 and Metal Gear Solid are legendary games that have shaped gaming discourses for almost 25 years. Tekken is massive in terms of fighting games. Fatal Fury and SNKs fighters have had a strong influence on the genre.

Dragon Quest is one of the biggest JRPG series of all time. If not, the Shotos are from the biggest fighting game of all time. In terms of close to Nintendo, you have Mega Man, Sonic, Bayonetta, Banjo Kazooie, the Belmonts, and arguably the Shotos and Hero. Smash has evolved into a celebration of gaming according to its own creator, hence why our third parties either are big third parties for their company or close to Nintendo. Zelda representation is fine because there literally are what, two recurring characters not in Smash in Impa and Tingle? FE representation has done good strides with stuff like Robin, Corrin, and Byelth all attempting to show off other facets of FE like the weapons triangle, weapon durability and magic, and transformations. Literally the only clone that does not make sense out of the melee roster is Ganon, who is divisive in terms of getting a rework. I get many are probably afraid of returning to the Brawl/Smash 4 days where third parties were held to an unnecessary degree of skepticism, but it feels like we're much closer to the opposite problem now (if we're not already there). I dunno, I just feel that people are gatekeeping first parties for being first parties at a rate far higher than they gatekeeping third parties for being third parties. What few first parties remained in public consciousness were either deemed prima facie shill picks chosen just to line Nintendo's pockets or never-evers that fanboys who were BTFO should shut up about.

Likewise, the fan discussion has basically been dominated by third parties throughout the entire DLC period. Across the past 3 years, we got approximately three third parties for every first party. That being said, I'm somewhat surprised that many think third parties are currently being underappreciated. There's certainly room for both on a roster as big as Smash's. And Assist Trophies certainly aren't immune to becoming playable for future games, like Little Mac, Dark Samus and Isabelle. And two, I would not be surprised if the Ballot was the reason for some of the Assist Trophies who weren't really appearing again, like Isaac and Krystal. Rool, Chrom, Dark Samus and to an extent, Simon and Richter. Like.yes they were from recent titles, but quite a lot of people did want a character from them.Īnd while we may not have gotten a whole lot of old Nintendo characters, for one, we did get alot of requested ones who weren't really appearing again, like K. Heck, before Byleth was revealed, there was that poll for the different countries for Japan, US and Europe and Byleth was the Top 5th one for Japan. People did want a character from ARMS and Rex/Pyra/Mythra.īyleth was somewhat "read the room" blind in how they were the last of the mostly third-party DLC 1 Pack, but was lucky in that Three Houses was popular and people did want a character from it, whether it'd be Byleth, Edelgard, Dimitri or Claude.

Click to expand.To be fair though, those 1st Party DLCs were from games people did want a rep for and how for two of them, even Sakurai mentioned that he wanted a rep for them, but couldn't for the base game due to timing.
