Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

There is a reason why non video game characters don't get in beyond not fitting the theme.
Licensing, basically why you won't see any non OG Super Robot Wars games and why Tatsunko vs. Capcom barley made it to the west, while third party deals can be a pain in the butt, the company who made that games owns the rights, not so much with other stuff, let's say Nintendo wanted to put Goku in the game somehow, who do they go to? Toei, who makes the anime? Shouen Jump, who makes the manga? Namco, who makes the games? Funimation, who does the dub, or Fox who has the right to the movies who just got bought out by Disney, it's a mess.
I would be fine with Mii Fighters getting costumes based on non game stuff but otherwise, I don't see it happening.

I’m just making a Shrek joke. Because the memes will never be ogre.

Wait a minute! In the E3 Direct it showed Kirby inhaling a Bomber. At the time I thought it was a taunt, but does this mean that you can now inhale items? Or has that always been a thing?

 

[Alex95]

Kirby's been able to inhale most items since Brawl, iirc. Same with Dedede and Wario.

 

[Moldomré]

Okay, out of curiosity I discovered almost exactly what percentage of E3 was devoted to Smash. For those interested, it was about 60%.

The more explosions the Bay-ter.

 

[supermariofan]

As much as I am hyped for tomorrow. The real hype for this direct is Etika.

 

[Crackin355]

I'll just mention there's a spoiler likely for the next direct out there, a slip-up on someones part gives away a character that's probably going to be revealed.

So stay away from stuff until then if that's your thing.

 

[GalacticPetey]

Yep, my friend mentioned there's a leak floating out there in the wild. Going on internet blackout until the Direct. See you guys then!

I wanted Captain Toad.
