TSR's Super Smash Bros Thread|SWITCH HYPE TRAIN NOW BOARDING

[Tellis]

So hey is it anything possible that we'll get Best Tales Protagonist now that Lloyd's out of the picture?
I'll settle for a costume!

Yeah, I think Yuri has a chance!

Sarcasm or not, Tales of Vesperia never showed up on a Nintendo system...

... wait but I guess he was in Project X Zone. Which I guess that game and Sonic Racing All Star Transformed Sega Whatever is how Akira and Jacky Bryant don't break that rule as Mii costumes...

I guess Yuri has a chance...?

Smash has enough anime swordsman guys

Yeah but it doesn't have anybody with TWO KATANAS. Which is why Lloyd would have been nice as a full character (especially since I... really don't like how Mii Fighters play except for Brawler, but that's just me). I mean, tbh, Lloyd was a big hope for a new character when Ryu was introduced (by the reasoning that, if Capcom got another rep, then maybe the other third party companies will get full-fledged characters as well!)

Luke could be cool too though, especially if he used his Fonic Artes to make him more of a spellsword character like Robin as opposed to a totally sword-based one.

I guess that's the frustrating thing to me is that like, if Shulk, Roy and Lucina hadn't been added, I think Tales characters would be a WAY more welcome addition but now that Fire Emblem went a teeeensy bit overboard (and I'm the one who argued with Koopaul about them having just the right amount of characters way back when, Roy's addition, despite being DLC, is a bit much) Smash Bros is kind of... riddled with anime swordsmen because every important Fire Emblem main character used a sword. And every main character in any RPG used a sword. So... swords everywhere. I mean Technically Jude in Tales of Xillia (who... has never been on a Nintendo system?) uses his fists but Jude also kind of sucks so...


Actually, who else that's big from Namco (AKA not relatively obscure arcade games) would be a good representative that hasn't already been relegated to Mii Fighter costumes, if Namco goes the way of Ryu?
