The Next Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighter Will Be Revealed During The Game Awards

Is that... an L?

Is that WaLuigi?

Wa!

Give us Birdo! 🙂

I lost interest halfway through the first season pass, but here's hoping for a suprise.

Let the disappointment train begin here...

Also how long does the show last? Starts at 11:30, ends when? (I mean I will be up at 3:00 am regardless, thanks to the 5-month old baby, but still...)

Just hope that they have something more ( most likely not...)

@gaga64 I would expect it to be about 2-3h long is it is the same as previous years but maybe a bit less as it is not really live

oh my goodness it’s... Nintendo of Japan’s team of elderly lawyers and terrible netcode programmers!

Final Smash = destroy the game itself, along with the entire fan community!

It's telling of where Nintendo's at right now that they had to announce this beforehand rather than trusting their consumers to tune in. I'm excited for this announcement, but it would have been nice to be a complete surprise (which is what made Joker's reveal so good).

@bluesdance Joining them as an assist trophy is a troupe of Nintendo apologists from Nintendo Life, with their ultimate move, Bury Head in Sand!

Kratos. Never gonna happen, but his wide assortment of moves, weapons and magic would be a great addition to the game. Technically, he appears in a game which runs on a Nintendo system... On that note, wouldn't be surprised to see a generic Fortnite character added.

Which Fire Emblem character will it be this time?

JOEL from TLoU would be awesome... haha.

I would love to see Chell from Portal

@JohnnyC Even though Kratos is a pipe dream, I also want him.

And Doomguy.

@Krull Pink-Gold Byleth!!

I will summon forth Monokuma to join Smash.

By the way i am Hyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyype

you know i wanna go in with high expectations but i know that will only lead to me being disappointed. Realistically i think it'll be crash or dante but i have no connection to any of them. I would like a persona protagonist that y'know, actually represents the series. maybe p3/p4 as p1 and p2, their personas could work something like they do in p4a or they could use different personas for different specials, smash attacks, aerials, etc. or we could get a simon/richter kind of deal where they're echo fighters, but since p3's main persona is associated with fire and p4's lightning, they could work as echo fighters with the same moves and all, but slightly different animations and effects. It's a huge stretch, and i know it won't ever happen, but that's my ideal character at the moment.

I was always hopeful for Paper Mario as a fighter, I figured he’d be announced alongside the release of Origami King, but I’m done being hopeful. I’ll just take what I can get at this point.

If it’s Q*bert, I’ll finally buy the darn thing. 😆

I'll show you my ultimate power.

@Blooper987 Normally, I would say that would be impossible, but joker got in so...

With all the smash related news as of late I wonder if this reveal will lead to a lot more negativity than it deserves. Fans should keep in mind that Sakurai and co have no say over what the law team does.

I am fairly sure I said something about this in the other game awards article...

These are getting way too predictable...

Hideo Kojima for Smash confirmed...

@Kimyonaakuma the only character that I really looked forward to was Min Min. I might get the DLC packs eventually... Or might just pass all together.

I'm hoping for a fighter who can "dance through the danger" 🎶

I just want it to be a first-party character.

Predicting the Doom Slayer Guy instead.

If you're expecting anything other than Jonesy from Fortnite you will be sorely disappointed.

Kratos's stint on the Fortnite store ended earlier today which means the time is ripe for Samus to arrive.

@Not-Geno That has been my only reasoning for how it could happen. I think it's definitely gonna be someone absolutely no one expects.

It needs to be a common household item.

I vote for Bucket.

Bucket pours into the fight!

: (

Oh snap. I'm ready to be hyped for the new character and leave the last disappointment* behind me! I wonder who they're gonna announce.. I'll certainly tune in.

*I'm actually okay with Steve now even though he's still one of my personal least favourite additions, but the initial disappointment was real. But still happy for the Steve fans!

There is only one thing I will say, if we get any character in 2020 that makes sense it is WAAAAAAAAAAH Luigi.

And here I was, actually planning to sleep on this one this time around.

Make it worth it, Nintendo - a TGA announcement is no joke.

Hate to say it, but this seems like a disappointment. Preempting it like this likely means they won’t be revealing anything else noteworthy.

This is why Doom Eternal was held back such a long time! Iiiiit‘s: Doomguy!

It’s gonna be a joycon

Ryu Hayabusa plus Ninja Gaiden Trilogy on Switch

if it's a fortnite character i'm eating my smash cartridge

Calling it now:
Doom Slayer.

• Doom Eternal has a big presence at the Game Awards, general audience is also more mature
• Today is the anniversary of the Doom series, the first game released 27 years ago today
• Game just released on Switch
• M Theory (basically they stopped showing logos for the Fighters Pass in NA during the Byleth presentation at the same time we got Altair - but the Assassin's Creed logo also wasn't used in NA, so it seems to be a weird ESRB limitation that applies to the second pass)
• Cacomallow Mii costume leak from last year
• Vault Boy is already in as a costume, so Nintendo was in talks with Bethesda about Smash content

@RupeeClock it's probably so people actually watch the VGAs since last time there was no one

Sweet! I’ve been so happy with the additions so far! Time to see if one of my predictions is correct!

Calling it now: Dwayne Johnson for Smash!

@iceicebb they don’t taste good, just FYI

Impa! ...maybe not but it would be nice surprise

@mattesdude oh trust me, i know

Ryu Hayabusa from Koei Tecmo's Ninja Gaiden series, to coincide with the release of the Ninja Gaiden Black trilogy on Switch...would be my guess.

I hate to say this but I need my beauty sleep -.-
Wish they would do it a little earlier (scandinavian)

Arthur would be cool just for the sake of having an awesome stage based on Ghouls N' Ghosts.

Someone nobody is expecting.

My personal hope is for Rayman to be announced, coinciding with a new game announcement for his series. It's kind of a pipe dream, but Nintendo and Ubisoft have worked together before, and Rayman is long overdue for some exposure. He's also their most iconic character, and there are already AC and Rabbid costumes in, so there's some presence from the company.

I've also been pining for Crash to get in with his recent revival. The de facto Playstation icon duking it out alongside gaming's best would just be so right, and he'd fit in great with the cast. It would also soft deconfirm Tracer from Overwatch getting in since Activision owns and publishes both titles, and she's literally the only character I don't want to join that has a reasonable shot of getting in. And if she does, that'll be my biggest disappointment with the DLC out of the way with 3 more newcomers to look forward to (Minmin was my 2nd biggest disappointment)

I want the Knight (Hollow Knight) so very much!

C'mon Leisure Suit Larry!

Doom slayer because Today is the anniversary of the Doom series
Crash if they announce the new game for switch
Bomberman one of the 1 switch games
Waluigi will be last
Rayman the 2 game is in speculation
Shovel Knight new amiibos
Ridley if the metroid games announce
The Rabbids 2 game coming out in the future
Dixie kong
Paper mario game came out in aug
Do you agree

I really hope its Crash Bandicoot.
But as long as its not Master Chief or another Microsoft rep,i'm probably gonna be fine with whoever it is.

@Euler I think it's more so people are interested in watching the show. Casual audiences are probably curious, but online, people are kind of jaded about big industry hosted award shows. It pretty much becomes advertising for pre-approved games, and people are assuming TLoU2 will sweep the awards due to having the correct politics, rather than its own merits.

Here we go, my predictions

Danganronpa
Atelier Ryza
Ace Attorney
Tales of
Ys

I'm hoping for I hope it's not a Fortnite character, but after Steve I'm not ruling anything out. I'd be good with most else, but really hoping for someone like Ryu Hayabusa, Sora, Shantae, Amaterasu, or even Dante.

@otoad62, whatever you may think of TGA there's no denying that people tune into it. The viewership has gone up every year since it premiered (in 2014 they had under 2 million viewers, but last year they were up to 48-49 million).

Would really like Sora from Kingdom Hearts.
Will probably get Jonsey from Fortnite.
The Doomslayer or Rayman would also be nice.
The Prince of Persia along with a PoPSoTR would be interesting.
I also believe Link is not represented enough so what we really and truly need is a Hyrule Warriors Link

i want MasterChief along with a Halo Trilogy collection on Switch!

Game “awards”? XD

Hope it's another Fire Emblem character. I'm dead serious, Byleth was the only fighter I purchased from Fighter Pass 1.

@Andrew5678 The Last of Us 2 is a really well-made game. Whatever your views are on its storytelling agenda (personally, I don't believe that everyone who disagrees with an idea/demographic automatically hates them and wants to see them destroyed, and that harmful view is stopping some valid and necessary discussion around some of the issues being raised in the game) the fact remains it's one of the best-made games of the year. Still doesn't touch my personal favourite this year, Super Mario 3D All-Stars.

Realistically, it is most likely going to be a Hyrule Warriors fighter, maybe the Champions, but most likely Terrako or Astor

Personally hoping for Adol Christin, or maybe a Trails protagonist. I've been on a Falcom binge since quarantine started, hopefully someone at Nintendo has been too. Most likely though, we'll end up with Crash or Dante. Worst case scenario, we get Geno.

If it's Waluigi I'm buying a PS5.

@TossedLlama I'm sorry to tell you this but they'll free melee before mother 3 is localised 😔

I was going to try to watch the game awards without any expectations, but now I know I can at least be excited for one thing!

I've never watched Game Awards. I'm asleep by the time it starts and from what I've heard of its pacing, I'd fall asleep couple of minutes in.

I don't have any specific wishes. I like surprises.

@RupeeClock This was probably that a**hole of Geoff Keghley, whatever his name is, begging Nintendo to do something like this, in order to people to watch his joke of a show.

It's Crash. I dom't want it to be but it is.

@Zimon same bro. I hate crash but he is going to be added. If/when he is, I'm probably gonna main him

I'm calling Koopa The Quick!

Who will it be? Probably on of the following
Lloyd (Tales of)
Crash
Master Chef I mean Cheif
Geno (as much as i hate to say it)

It's going to be a surprise, no one ever guesses who'll come to Smash. I'll watch the reveal trailer later here.

Oh boy. I just can't wait for it to be a character I don't care for at all!

Doomguy as new character, Fortnite characters as Mii skins in the next reveal

I think we all still have the leaked game awards video call where the creator of fortnite had no comment on it getting into smash still fresh in our minds? Hate it or not, Nintendo would want to do something big for the game awards, they wouldn’t want to pull off a geno, which will make nobody new join the game, or put in a popular character so more people buy your game? The only other character I could see happening is doom slayer after it just released on switch, and today is its anniversary.

Please be Phoenix Wright

Can’t wait to see who it is.

Fortnite character is coming im telling you people. Be ready. You know what dont be a ready and cry.

Crash Bandicoot
Geno
Billy or Jimmy from Double Dragon
One of the Battletoads
Lastly Kunio or whatever from river city ransom

I wouldn't mind another brawler to be honest

As I said before Fortnite original female/male characters for Smash, cutscene Samus revealed for Fortnite then M Trilogy announced and dropped with a M4 logo right at the very end pulsing 3 times from bright to dark

@RupeeClock exactly my thoughts, would have prefered to not know that

Crash Bandicoot or Rayman.
Crash Bandicoot or Rayman!

Geralt of Riviera Switcher

please be the protagonist from P3!
jk

Waluigi must come!

@justin233 I kinda want it to be Doomguy just to see Isabelle wail on him.

Obviously it will be Rasputin from Psychonauts, with that game shadow dropping on Switch as part of the character announcement.

My guess is Crash Bandicoot with an announcement of Crash 4 coming to Switch

@ClayArcher23 The most likely Zelda character would be Impa. She goes back to the original game. Not to mention being the biggest badass in the first Warriors game.

It's 2020. The only possibly choice is the "this is fine" dog.

Monster Hunter or sora please

@Krull Petra?

@TG16_IS_BAE Dear God.

Great to see Smash support but maybe it is time for Nintendo to redirect their Smash support staff to work on another non Smash game.

You know its going to be another Fire Emblem character to tie in with Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light

On one hand, glad to see Nintendo giving some good news about the game.

On the other hand, Nintendo must prepare for fanboys' outcry.

I'm so glad that Sam & Max are finally in the game!

_{I hope this ages well.}

My guess is Trump, I hear he is looking for a new job.

I wish nintendo would've kept going doing more weird nintendo characters like piranha plant. This focus on 3rd party character just doesn't interest me

Abby from TLOU2.

After minecraft reveal my hype level kinda drowned lol.
So i go neutral with this one. I skipped the minecraft character, really did not like it.

@dew12333
Incoming WW in 3...

Game awards are tonight? Good, that means I'll have some winner lists to read and announcement trailers to watch late tonight or tomorrow.

@nessisonett I actually kind of think they might just do that.

Otherwise, there'd be no point of doing it at The Game Awards.

How about paper mario and his specials are companion related, like side b could be kicking kooper or throwing bombette

Crash Bandicoot
Geno
Rayman
Doom Guy

@AllieKitsune Only if she’s introduced by Brie Larson. I would love that just to laugh at the outrage.

Just excited to tune in. It would have to be a truly remarkable Character for me to buy in

will_be_able_to_dream_for_few_more_hours_about_Geralt_in_Smash_before_being_disappointed_by_something_lame_again

It's Lloyd Time!

@dew12333 That actually got a genuine chuckle out of me 🤣. In fact, that joke in the reveal trailer would be a hoot.

I'm hoping for someone completely wacky and off the wall. If not Waluigi or someone like Skull Kid, I would absolutely love to see Phoenix Wright get a nod. I just think the sky's the limit for what they could do with his moveset and his Final Smash sequence

I am not a member of the Smash Bros. fan community (never played a single game), but I am absolutely fascinated at Nintendo's evident success in sustaining interest in a single title over multiple years.

OTOH, speculation on this subject is pretty fun. Some of the conjecture here is interesting, but it is clear to me that Puppet Iwata has escaped the attention of everyone here. This new character will be heinously overpowered at launch, of course.

(If Puppet Iwata, Kaz Hirai and Don Mattrick appear in any fighting game, my purchase will be immediate.)

Hollow Knight, please... Hollow Knight... 🥺

My predictions:
Sora
Crash
Dante
Shante
Overwatch

@nessisonett If you're really trying to piss off the ch*ds, have Anita Sarkeesian do it.

@SwitchplayerJohn if it happens i'm going all the way, swallowing it whole

@Kriven yes

Kiryu Kazuma announced for Smash, along with surprise announcement of Yakuza 0 for Switch... will never happen, but would be great.

@ToadBrigade Phoenix Wright’s in Marvel vs Capcom 3 and attacks by being essentially an idiot. He sneezes you to death or hits you with his finger.

KARNOV GET’S HIS REVENGE!

https://www.giantbomb.com/karnov/3005-410/

It will be Cranky Kong. Nintendo knows he is always good news.

I want Urbosa, Geno, or even Doomslayer.

It'll be Fortnite.

@Kimyonaakuma Hoping for anything other than another boring human fighter.

please be doomslayer or mythra.

Please be Crash.

C'mon Crash Bandicoot!
C'mon Bomberman!
C'mon Shovel Knight!
C'mon Rayman!

Please not from Tlou and what not, and its owned by PlayStation so...
But I really would like an octoling character for smash, because there are a lot of potential moveset choices!

oh no another event is gonna be swarmed by smash maniacs

@Ogbert
But Bomberman is already both an Assist Trophy and a Mii costume.

In my dreams, it's my boy Geno. "Beware of mushrooms" event anyone?

In reality, probably Doomguy if I had to guess.

Give me the Doom Slayer and I'll buy Pass 2 just for him and never ask anything again

@Ultrasmiles I checked it about 40 minutes ago, and I can confirm, smash fans.

The STUPENDOUS leader of the Yiga Clan MASTER KOHGA!

HES GONNA KILL YOU ALL.....TO DEATH

Geno Doomslayer Gordon Porky Chief Sora
Crash-Mascot Mii Brawler

Reminder to everyone that Nintendo picked the fighters of this expansion pass well before Sakurai announced its existence to the world. Also, reminder that Smash trailers are almost always filmed months in advance, so do not expect any acknowledgement of the Splatoon/Melee kerfluffle.

Likely:
Fortnite rep
Pokemon Sw/Sh rep
Paper mario?
Doom guy
Wishlist:
Hollow Knight+SilkSong shadow drop
Papyrus
Stardew valley rep
KK Slider
King Hippo
Toad
Dixie Kong

Its gotta be
Doomguy
Jonesy from Fortnite
Crash Bandicoot
or SORA SORA HYPEEEEEEEEEE EVERYONE

Here are the characters I want for Smash:
Shantae
Tails
Rayman
And of course Waluigi

Well thanks for telling me Nintendo...what happened to the surprise trailer? I understand that we don't know (at least I don't) who it is but...Also I thought people hated Nintendo Smash.

@N8tiveT3ch No? People like smash, but..

Rhea for smash! Or Impa or Urbosa.

Whatever it is a lot of people are going to act like Nintendo shot a family member.

As much as I love Fire Emblem, I'm hoping for a character that doesn't use a sword. I really don't care as long as the character is completely "bunkers". I want something crazy or different.

King Boo
Tetris Block
Rusty (Rusty's Real Deal Baseball)
Ring Fit Trainee w/ Ring

None of these are happening, but it would be fun if it did!

Hopefully it is a character that I am interested in and if the character after this one also interests me that it will make me buy the pass.

I'm expecting a Monster Hunter character.

L Block (Tetris) Lines up to fight!

It needs to be one of these or else Nintendo will be a joke at the Game Awards: Crash Bandicoot, Ryu Hayabusa, Doom Slayer, Dante, or Shantae.

Conker for smash lol

@hassantaleb345 Yup. But he deserves more!

It's finally time, Nintendo. Bandana Waddle Dee. That's all I ask.

I'm probably setting myself up for disappointment, but I haven't lost hope!

@Kimyonaakuma So, right around Banjo? Seems reasonable.

@ClayArcher23 dang it as soon as I saw @CheekyZelda s comment i thought 'i'm going to kill you all to death!' But you bewt me to it

Fingers crossed for Crash. I think a character like that would have the biggest impact at these awards. Conversely, I still don't think revealing Joker there 2 years ago was the best character to reveal for that audience.

@Aerona There's more

@JimmySpades yes, if Zelda does ever get another fighter, it would almost certainly have to be Impa. I assume they'd go with her young Age of Calamity version, as she is considered canon. Still I'd love if they went with her non-canon original Hyrule Warriors badass version.

@N8tiveT3ch people just hate how Nintendo is treating their games on a competitive level. They still like Smash as a game though. But they feel that Nintendo's actions are putting the future of the game on an esports level into jeopardy.

@Narrator1 no, that was the case for the first fighter pass. Sakurai explained that overall his team got to choose the fighters for the second fighter pass. However, it sounds like Steve was a fighter that was being pushed by Nintendo from the start, Sakurai kept saying it couldn't be done, but eventually found a way to make him happen. So his inclusion is more in line with the choices of the first pass, but otherwise it doesn't appear that the second fighter pass choices have been forced upon them like they were with the first pass.

I'm ready for the upcoming arguments about whoever it is.

Finally! The envelope as a playable character 🤣🤣🤣 the red seal is its final smash, it swallows every thing and everyone and then locks them up with its seal. "We hope you understand" _Nintendo.

@1UP_MARIO does this Joy-Con drift like the real one?

CHIBI-ROBO.
SAKI.
ISAAC.
Come on, where are Nintendo's Dairantou All-Stars?

But the 8-bit unofficial reveal leak trailer looks so real!
SPOILER WARNING anyway: https://youtu.be/_ZtIqTPYy58
Is this truly deconfirmed?

Oof.. Fortnite... How was Jonesy able to overrun Doomguy?

i wonder if the reveal of the next character in the second Fighter Pass for Super Smash Bros Ultimate, is gonna be, Nintendo only anouncement at TGA 2020.

I'll never stop rooting for Waluigi but I can't help but feel, given the venue tonight, it'll be Fortnite.
People saying the crossover with Jonesy in Smash and Samus in Fortnite is going to happen seems to make a lot of sense to me.
But please by all means, surprise us Nintendo!

I'm really hoping it's Doomguy.

@vanYth HES RIGHT!!!

Let's be honest here.
It does not matter who the next fighter will be, there will be a lot of people complaining about it.

Hype INTENSIFIES!

Forget WHO it is, more like WHEN is it? Eyes on the poster that goes up in Japan with an expiration date on.

What I want: Yu Narukami or Impa
What we need: Waluigi
What we're going to get: Doom guy or someone I've never heard of

WTF? They shouldn’t have said anything and it would have been more exciting.

At least we got Minecraft out of the way.

It may not be tonight's reveal, but if I had to pick the character(s) I think more likely than any other at this point it would be Claire Redfield/Leon Kennedy. I also think Alex Kidd, Dante, Ryo Hazuki or even Kazuma Kiryu are decent bets, and Crash or Rayman if they decide to throw the West one more bone. -sigh- But my true wish will always be Goemon!

@ToadBrigade and i'm holding myself to this

@idrawrobots
But it would make you want to watch

@Arsene Yu is my most wanted character at the moment, even though, sadly, i know it will never happen

As a lifelong DOOM fan, I'm hoping it isn't the DOOM protagonist, but a beloved enemy from the franchise. We don't need another dime-a-dozen human/space marine on the roster. Give us Pinky, or Cacodemon, or the Spider Mastermind, or the Cyberdemon... anything.

Hell, I might actually buy the second fighter pass if they do.

Nice, is like they did with Joker except this time is not a surprise, kinda a shame they didn’t kept it a surprise like last time but i guess it would not have the same kind of impact this time since most likely
🎶 players would see it comiiiiiing 🎵

(I hope is Arle Nadja)

Please be Monster Hunter, I don't even care if it's just a generic hunter. I care more about the stage and music anyways.

And that's your lot, folks.

GUYS I"M FREAKING OUT SEE YAALL AFTER THE SHOW WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I also think Alex Kidd, Dante, Ryo Hazuki or even Kazuma Kiryu are decent bets, and Crash or Rayman if they decide to throw the West one more bone.

@BoilerBroJoe Kazuma Kiryu is a brilliant suggestion.

Yet even Sega - even M2 - no, even the low-level Master System expert at M2 - doesn't want Alex Kidd.

A Sega AGES representative, though...? Yes! The Commander from Herzog Zwei! Order unit production while transforming into a mech or jet! Credit to myself and BoilerBroJoe for this.

omg words i think it is the letter a from any game with text

@Arsene l think it could be doom guy

I remember soda was high in the polls all those years ago. I feel like he’s either next or sometime after. I want excitebike or another classic Nintendo character tho. Mach rider would be cool.

id love to see Reimu! but i doubt a character like her would be in a place like the game awards... perhaps crash, doomslayer or 2b?

@NovaCam No!

@EngineerMario I watch live every year anyway. Except the year I had to work.

@JimmySpades
Lol if they add waluigi, smashbros ultimate is history for me and sell my switch haha. He only fits as background decoration 🤣.

@danemord Danish guy here, and I tottaly agree, but what can you do... nothing.

This will conveniently make everyone forget about the controversy

I got "my character" with steve so i'm just happy for new content. I don't really mind the fortnite rumors, but I do think Doomguy or master chief deserve to be in first as they kinda revolutionized the shooter genre

@Kirgo Lol for real. I'm just happy we're getting more content

@Auggie_Plays_Games haha, godt at se en ægte viking her
I det mindste er der en del at vågne op til

Sounds like it's going to be Crash.

I can't really get excited for Smash anymore.

It's not really that fun against a CPU all the time and Nintendo hasn't got dedicated servers so the online is junk.

Only good with friends coming over and since Covid 19, that hasn't happened too much.

I hope Nintendo announces something else but they've let me down continuously this year so i won't be holding my breath.

#Mario35 is Key. Toad, Waluigi, Or Geno.

I'm predicting Sora or Doom Guy.

I'm hoping for anything Megaman or Pokemon!

If I don't see DOOM GUY or Waluigi I'm gonna flip

I've looked around for leaks and I'm mainly seeing
Sora
Fortnite
Geno
MasterChief
Doom
Crash
Ryu Hayabusa (Ninja Gaiden)
Impa

Imagine Sora's final smash
Sora Kairi and Riku running at the opponent with Goofy and Donald coming in from the sides

and the music and stage would be epic I can just see characters in the background of traverse town now

It's Bo Jackson from Tecmo Bowl

It's probably Doomslayer, Geno, or Lloyd, but I gotta
#shantaeforsmash ❤️💜

@KingBowser86 Shantae in smash Would be great, I really don't know who to think bc nintendo can do ANYTHING like byleth I'm ready for the CRAZYNESS.

What about Blaze from Streets of Rage?

@daisygurl Someone needs to take on Ridley. Call the Archbishop!

@iceicebb I'm praying hard that it won't happen.

Hoping for:
Paper Mario

Will probably be:
Daytona USA car
(@NicheAbou, this is your fault.)

Will start to vibrate angrily if:
someone from Fortnite

@COVIDberry I could see them going for Alex Kidd as a vintage mascot that Sakurai may have some particular fondness for. But as I think more about it, I'd say Wonder Boy is a more likely fit for that role.

@ChromaticDracula I would kill for Daytona USA car. No idea why.

Back to my #Mario35 Comment, Paper Mario or Captain Toad/Toadette would be great! Waluigi

@EngineerMario ridley is already in Smash ultimate base game, homey

It's Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII.

@Elvie That's a pretty good guess.

@PoorGeno Let's just say, I have an inside source.

@danemord Undskyld, har kun set din besked nu... Vikinger må stå sammen!

So help me if Karnov doesn’t make it in.
