My predictions for Challenger Pack 11 (the final DLC fighter) - Nintendo Switch Forum

The presentation of Kazuya by Mr. Sakurai made me feel a lot of things. I laughed because of the mii costumes because I could imagine the reactions of the people, I was worried because Kazuya looked busted if played right and I felt sad because Masahiro himself confirmed that there will be no more fighters after Challenger Pack 11. It was since that moment were I tried to guess who was going to be the last fighter. Then i realized, that during the Kazuya presentation, Sakurai talked about how he wanted to respect the essence of the fighters and their source material, while also being creative and trying to make the "impossible" a reality with clever ideas and a lot of work and research, and I though that this could be an excelent point of research for me and I started to search someone who could put Sakurai ideals to the "Ultimate" test. But who could be that character? Any character from a 3D game doesn't work because smash is a 2D game (kazuya only works because he can't get his vision out of his rival) and a fighter that originates from a platform fighter wouldn't make something "impossible" a reality. Then I started to remember certain character that the people claimed to see on battlefield and it's variants on the ice, as well as in King K. Rool trailer in the form of a cloud, and considering that Min Min broke that fan made rule that claimed that spirits deconfirmed fighters, I think he has a chance. That's right, I'm talking about Rayman https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BsMjLbSyIfY Now this Link leads to a video that lasts for less that 5 minutes that shows all the moves of Rayman in the game "Rayman Legends". I saw that video like 10 times to come to the conclusion that with a bit of work and clever ideas in the middle, that moveset can work on Smash, making Rayman a Fighter that plays exactly like in his game (which at first looks impossible and also respects the character) But what do you guys think?

1. Nahobino from Shin Megami Tensei V seems to be the final one. It just makes too much sense. However, if he's not then I can see a few others being possible...

2. Koei Tecmo. One of the last big 3rd partys without a fighter. However, Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden is regularly in games rated M/18+ around the globe and therefore just as unlikely as Resident Evil, DOOM, and Mortal Kombat. Also, Nintendo has given up on making Fatal Frame/Project Zero as big as Resident Evil and Silent Hill. So, what's left? The biggest one is Samurai Warriors which is the sister series to Dynasty Warriors which is a spin-off of Romance of the Three Kingdoms which dates back to 1985 and was ported to NES in 1988. So, yeah the whole Warriors genre has a long history and one of the main fighters from the series, Nobunaga Oda, who also has connections to Nobunaga's Ambition, another old warsim/strategy series, would be the most likely.
No worries, it's a game character (based on a real figure, just like Dracula, Dr. Kawashima, and the Nintendog).

3. Capcom - Only Ken as a newcomer/echo but not a single DLC character, that's somewhat suspicious. I think something Monster Hunter is still possible. And I can see Phoenix Wright being a bonus fighter, but if there's truly only one fighter left he'll possibly be a Mii costume. Watch it being Chun-Li.

4. Taito. I know they're part of Square Enix now, but they have historical retro icons like Space Invaders and Bubble Bobble that deserve a place on the roster.

5. A Nintendo character. Rhythm Paradise (it's rumoured a rhythmic fighter like Chorus Kids has been worked on since Wii U), Advance Wars (why else is the Assist Trophy from Wii U missing?), or Spiderbot Porky (the only Brawl boss missing completely).

As much as Nintendo loves to subvert expectations, I think Rayman really does have the best chance of making it in. I mean, doesn’t it feel weird that Nintendo and Ubisoft have been working so closely lately that they let Ubi develop what’s now 2 games using their flagship characters (Mario + Rabbids) and yet they don’t have any playable reps in smash? They have 2 mii costumes added as dlc (Ezio and the Rabbids) so it feels like this is what they’re building up to. Also I’m sure Nintendo knew about the infamous smash 4 Rayman “leak” which, along with his likely strong smash ballot performance due to the recent release of the excellent Rayman Legends, could have Nintendo thinking his reveal will be a massive deal. While I don’t think people would find it would be too mind blowing as the internet tends to move on quite quickly, I know many including myself would be thrilled to see the limbless hero join the fight as representative for the major third party developer.
