@link3710 They've given more attention to Prince of Persia than Splinter Cell, last month a Prince of Persia VR game was announced. Rayman and Splinter Cell are the 2 main big Ubisoft franchises that are MIA at the moment. As for the Mii costumes in general, they're in batches of 5 so I could see other assassins in another Ubisoft batch.
@Rexenokid Some of the most popular videogame characters still get added as spirits or costumes, and they obviously still deconfirm fighters.
For the next Smash you're right. Of course they'll try to add some of those heavily requested legendary spirits, some of the best-selling costumes, and a couple assist trophies as fighters, but for Ultimate it's still... up air.
There hasn't been proof for either outcome: We still haven't seen a spirit or costume being released as a fighter. Nintendo/Sakurai can easily add 6 new fighters that are not in the game in any spirit or costume form, just like all the ones from the first Fighters Pass. The only possible exception so far is Rex&Pyra for the reason that came directly from Sakurai's mouth. We'll at least have to wait for Fighters Pass 2 info to assume anything.
Anyway, my question still stands: How is a Rayman amiibo possible (without looking bad)? I'm asking because I feel that's the reason Rayman was dismissed as a fighter right from the get-go.
@Grumblevolcano I hadn't heard about that, that's honestly amazing. I thought they wanted everyone to forget about PoP in favor of Assassin's Creed. Splinter Cell's at least heavily rumored to be in development, I'm kind of expecting it at E3 this year.
As for the Amiibo, keep in mind we've received Rayman figurines in the past. The scarf usually connects the head to the body, while the poses are picked so that the hands are attached to either the head, the body, or obstacles.
On the note that Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden is the last true 8-bit hero: No, he's not. Just wanna mention a couple 80s videogame franchises with characters that were more or at least as iconic: Bubble Bobble, Bomberman, Wonder Boy, Contra, Ghosts'n Goblins, Maniac Mansion, Mystical Ninja (more iconic ninja), Shinobi (more iconic ninja), Double Dragon, Solomon's Key (also from Tecmo), Bomb Jack (also from Tecmo), Boulder Dash, Alex Kidd, Turrican, Bonk, R-Type, Prince of Persia, etc., etc., etc.
@SKTTR Joe Musashi and Goemon aren't more iconic than Ryu, at least not anymore. Ryu has reached multiple generations, even if the games weren't as big back in the day.
I'll give you Bomberman, Contra, Prince of Persia, and maybe Bubble Bobble, GnG and Wonder Boy though. Sure that's a list of good series, but not Ninja Gaiden level, considering how few made it out of that era with any sort of notable follow-ups.
I think the Arms fighter will probably have several different skins of different characters, like Bowser Jr. That seems most likely to me considering they said it would be an Arms fighter but they didn't actually announce who the character is.
I think the ARMS fighter will be a character that isn't already playable in ARMS so like a promo for ARMS getting more content or ARMS 2 being announced.
I would want the character to be either Twintelle, Min Min or Dr. Coyle. Twintelle being my most wanted and Dr. Coyle being the outside shot. Min Min should be the ARMS character in Smash though, being the ultimate ARMS champion and being the only female character with popularity that can compete with Twintelle's.
Going away from those three individually, it ranges from questionable to disappointing. This reveal can either get me to purchase the entirety of Fighters Pass Vol. 2 or free up plenty of space on my Switch.
Min Min changes things, spirits no longer deconfirm characters. Now I'm even more sure that Rex is part of Fighters Pass 2. On another note, the tease at the end makes it seem like a Fighters Pass 3 will happen ("at least 5 more fighters").
I'm very happy with Min Min, tbh I've grown a but weary of playing as her in Arms but she is a great looking character. I saw someone make a point that as she kicks she's the best option from Arms for Smash.
Maybe? The same happened with Assassin's Creed's Altaïr costume. NoA had the name of the character while NoE displayed the name of the series. It's strange.
It's its, not it's.

@Grumblevolcano About time people acknowledged that Spirits wouldn't deconfirm FP2 characters. Mii Costumes either for that matter.
Anyways, Min Min was one of my pre-release requests, so I'm astonished. I figured everyone left on my list was basically impossible save Spyro, Sora, and Rayman. The only other ones that haven't arrived with even a ghost of a chance are Dixie, DJ Octavio, and Captain Toad and Toadette I guess. Or maybe I'll be proven wrong again.
One thing is for certain, we aren't getting John Raimi or Monita.
@Grumblevolcano As much as I would love that, I think Sakurai meant that since the development team are working ‘within the scope of their abilities’ at home currently, they may not be able to do pre-recorded presentations in the future. So the promise is to continue working on the fighters, releasing them and producing and dropping cinematic reveal trailers at the bare minimum if they can’t assemble a presentation. They don’t have any plans to create more DLC following Fighter’s Pass Volume 2, but I’d love to be wrong on this one.
@NintendoWiiDS I'm pretty sure he was saying that they haven't decided on whether or not to do an FP3, but at the least they will definitely finish everything in FP2. I'm pretty sure his wording did suggest one was at least being considered.
EDIT: Also, just want to say that it seems we're getting new game modes and features with FP2, something I was DEFINITELY not expecting. So even for people who aren't buying the DLC characters, the game is just continuing to grow and improve. Even if only this character is dropping with a new mode, it's still more than I expected.
