I mean, at least there’s some consistency. I tend to see plenty of videos involving roster cuts in which Corrin and Byleth are cut, but not Roy. I really couldn’t care about who is playable (my favorites are Corrin and Min Min, probably the two characters that the most amount of people will instantly say should be cut), and I like Roy, but it’s clear Roy tends to be liked for his overall rush-down playstyle, memes/Melee nostalgia, GBA representation, and the Super Smash Bros series giving him such a much different personality from his original one that the Fire Emblem series has been trying to merge the gap for years. Of course, there are people who like Roy for just being Roy and would pick him regardless of how well or poorly he plays. Regardless of people’s thoughts on the characters or the games they are from, Robin, Corrin and Byleth are the most unique by default with each of them representing core aspects of the Fire Emblem series [magic/weapon durability, dragons, and the weapon triangle (sort of) respectively; this also doesn’t consider how Corrin and Byleth incorporate the Fire Emblem itself through the Omega Yato and Crest of Flames respectively]. From the perspective of just keeping the most unique characters, they would be kept. However, obviously with cutting characters people would want other ones to replace them. Still want magic and weapon durability? Add Celica. Still want a dragon? Add Tiki. Still want the weapon triangle or just a character that uses at least 4 different weapons? Add the trio from Blazing Blade or Anna. These are characters that are argued to be more popular than Robin, Corrin and Byleth (at least given FEH polls). Plus, we can extend this argument to Roy. Still want a character with a flaming sword? I mean, Ike and Corrin are already there, and again there’s Eliwood. Anyone can make any reason for why a character “deserves” to be in or not; every character has fans, regardless of how many joke people like to make about a character’s supposed lack thereof. I get it, Super Smash Bros. is all about the playable roster. Almost every character is added to increase the series’ sales, whether that’s adding “fan favorites”, adding a character from a recent or upcoming game, or help Nintendo strengthen ties with other companies. It’s a product and money is the most important, and it’s the reason why instead of Dragon King we got Super Smash Bros. 64.

Hero's command select is inconsistent, Joker is not very strong without Arsene, and Sephrioth is light weight. I think the reason why there are so many Fire Emblem characters is because Sakurai or Nintendo wants more safe characters. The Fire Emblem movesets are not very flashy compared the other RPG reps, but it's done that way because they also don't have much weaknesses. Or at least their weakness's are not as egregious as Sephiroth, Hero, and Joker. In other words balance is hard.

Heck, Byleth would’ve been even better in my opinion, since while Awakening was the game that saved the franchise and all that, Three Houses was a GIGANTIC hit, and went way more mainstream than any other game in the series.

I'm gonna leave this here, since it's lingered in the back of my mind for a while now. Everybody's always complaining about so many Fire Emblem characters being in the roster for Smash, but that mainly comes down to how many characters are introduced with every entry. What's the other major series under Nintendo's publication that has so many "characters"? Pokemon. Turn Fire Emblem characters into a separate Assist Trophy archetype, like the Pokeballs, and use the colored gems from Fire Emblem Heroes to summon them out. That way you get more representation in the game, and you don't have to make full movesets for them!

The thing is that Pokemon is a juggernaut compared to Fire Emblem which is why they get the privilege of having a subset of Assist Trophies (even if technically the Pokeball in Smash was first) exclusively to them Like no joke, pick a random Pokemon and you will find it has more merchandise and marketability that any Fire Emblem character

The biggest problem with FE representation in Smash is there's a lot of Marth-adjacent characters (moveset, family, or just hair color) and almost all are swordfighters. Getting a lance or axe unit, a mage like Robin, or heck give us a pegasus knight. I don't know enough to know who'd be iconic enough to make it in, but they all feel very homogenous. Byleth probably wouldn't have been such an upsetting addition if it weren't for all the others in already. Byleth isn't strictly a sword user & came from a recent breakout title. They could've been a big hit.

So there's a lot of backward logic in the video that I think sums up my whole feelings about cutting the cast this drastically for the next game so let me just list off some of the big ones to prove my point and leave it at that. "Yoshi is just an assist in the Mario games" - *looks over at the newest games where he's playable in 4 separate colors with their own unique gimmick* are you sure about that? "They haven't done a lot with Rosalina in the past few years" Not only does adding Pauline to this hypothetical make this point meaningless, but she's essentially been upgraded to the core Mario cast in the spinoffs, which have made a point to include her in base in EVERY GAME. spin-offs like Mario Kart are just as, if not more important sometimes than the base games. "I'm cutting Daisy because we don't need 2 peaches" When Daisy got added as a new character in Mario Wonder, that was a big deal, and as you said Peach is getting some new stuff to play with in Showtime so, in actuality, there wouldn't BE 2 Peaches in the first place as drastically changing one and not the other gives us 2 pretty different characters. "Do I even need to explain why I cut the Links?" Yes, I feel like you do, because that's a iconic look to the main character that appears just as often as the adult form. It has as much reason to stay as the current version of Ganondorf. "Cutting Lucario in general"- No, absolutely not, that's one of the worst ones on here. Not only is he constantly coming back with new stuff at his disposal, the guy is one of the most popular Pokemon period, hell, I'd say he's as iconic now as Charizard. He is a necessity. "cutting Diddy" What possible reasoning could you have for making this decision, he's arguably been playable for more games than DONKEY KONG HIMSELF. "Cutting K.Rool but keeping Ridley" Your reasoning is ass backwards, people have arguably campaigned harder for K.Rool than Ridley because he has proven international demand compared to the largely US-based Ridley.And if you want to talk about relevance, hoooooooooooooooooooo boy was DK more relevant than Metroid for a loooooooooooong time. "Cutting every Fire Emblem character besides Marth and Chrom" okay that's just overkill, yes I agree Fire Emblem has a lot, but it's huge again and the one's you cut are the faces of the ones that matter. Doing all of them is too much.I say the best way to go is Marth Ike Robin Lucina and Byleth as that's all the unique ones with a lot of popularity, relevance to the game and unique moveset styles. "I chose Chrom because he keeps the moveset of Roy and Ike alive" He literally only has a single move from Ike how is that keeping Ike's moveset alive? And need I remind you, the main problem people have with Fire Emblem isn't just there's a lot but that MOST OF THEM PLAY LIKE THE SAME GUY? so keeping the echo of the semi clone but ditching the original movesets feels even worse. "A lot of cuts happening because you feel like you have to" That's the laziest excuse to cut somebody and it appears a lot, stop it. "Cutting Ice Climbers" Do you not even remember the fan outcry these guys had when they were cut last time? "Wii Fit Trainer is cut because nobody uses the Balance Board" by that logic get rid of Duck Hunt because nobody uses the NES zapper, Wii as a whole is arguably the most iconic new era of Nintendo and this was a HUGE part of that, she's more important than you think. "Cuts Kazuya because nobody knows who they are" The series sells MORE THAN SMASH the fuck you mean? The whole idea of cutting everyone to replace them with the exact amount of new characters" You want to talk about unrealistic and uncalled for, this is it right here. This whole idea is blatantly unnecessary, especially when half the new cast is leagues LESS important than most of the cuts. There doesn't need to be a ton of cuts in the first place, honestly you could cut a 3rd of the roster and it'd still make sense.
@petesoys63486 ай бұрын

I kind of found it funny that you added “popularity” and “relevance to the game” before mentioning “unique gameplay styles” when justifying what Fire Emblem characters you would keep, as if you expected people to ask why Corrin wouldn’t be kept considering how unique they are currently and how they arguably have more potential for moveset changes than Ike and Lucina. Not saying I disagree or agree (I couldn’t really care who is made playable because ultimately any character can be called “deserving” of being playable), but it’s always a tad humorous to me seeing the instant trashing on Corrin in these discussions even as someone who loves the character. :P

I'm okay with cutting Olimar ONLY because he was replaced with another Pikmin rep (who could just as easily have an alt skin that is the Leafling on Moss, and if you know the plot of Pikmin 4, you know why I'm saying that); Little Mac sticking around is also fine with me, Aaron gave a pretty good rationale as to _why_ he could stay, though I don't agree with cutting Yoshi or Diddy either. My personal biggest gripe is that of the three weird Nintendo history representatives (G&W, R.O.B., and Duck Hunt), he kept the one that, in my opinion, was the least worthy of being kept, since Game & Watch and R.O.B. have series seniority on Duck Hunt and I feel have a bigger fan following, plus they are even MORE obscure than Duck Hunt and, at least in the case of Game & Watch, represent different _hardware_ from Nintendo (R.O.B. is a peripheral like the Zapper, but I think the fact that he was marketed as a toy harkens back to Nintendo's earlier days as a toy company, thus making R.O.B. important for those reasons, plus he was inexplicably in Mario Kart DS _BEFORE_ Brawl, and I think that makes him a better pick to stay than Duck Hunt)

Cutting Olimar, Diddy, and both Belmonts out completely is wild, but cutting Yoshi is criminal. I do agree with cutting Jigglypuff, I don't care that it's the original 12. Choosing to keep Chrom over Robin is wild. But I think one of the wildest things you said was that we should keep Ridley because we fought hard for him (true) but not keep K. Rool, who we also fought just as hard for. Sure Ridley was "too big" for awhile, but he was less obscure than K. Rool, which made the fight to get these characters was more or less equal.
@dnmstarsi6 ай бұрын
Honestly, I feel like those cuts could work if you repacked them as new characters even if it's cheating a bit. I think he was going for that with Rescue Corps if Olimar was an alternate skin but if you cut out Diddy, bring him back through Dixie as his partner as opposed to Kiddy and with Yoshi, bring back though Baby Mario (which I'd probably swap over Pauline. Good WTF choice but the price was too high IMO). As for the Belmonts, it's subjective but I don't mind it if you replaced it with another cool CV character even if you took out 1/3 of the Captain N crew (unless you count Palutena and Duck Hunt as Lana and Kevin's Dog and Zapper). Much like how I would cut Kazuya but bring his son Jin in to replace him. I know tough cuts had to be made but I feel like some of these choices could have been salvaged a bit even if it meant playing safe and ruining the point of this video by bringing back the axed. LOL

This video was really disappointing. You usually go into these with much more depth and with a clearer vision of how both the game and characters would play. The part with your cuts mostly made sense and was interesting. But it felt like for the newcomers you were just listing off popular Nintendo characters who amounted to: “they can summon another fighter to do this thing”. I also understand that smash’s roster is already so perfect that there aren’t many Nintendo characters you could add that would live up to them, but some of these picks ranged from generic to genuinely god awful. Geno, Dixie, Doomslayer, Skull Kid, Raven Beak, excellent choices. Paper Mario, Waluigi, Ashley, okay. But Pauline, Anna and both Cynthia and Giovanni as just “fistfighters” are so bad, I genuinely thought you were setting up a bad joke. Someone else in the comments said it, but this video felt both “unhinged” yet “completely safe”. It’s very disappointing because you make videos about franchises I have no interest in and you manage to make it sound so exciting and whimsical that I get genuinely excited at the thought of these hypothetical fighting games. I didn’t get that feeling at all in this video. I hope I don’t sound too negative, I just didn’t like this video.

@Juju29276 ай бұрын
I don't think that Digimon has enough ties with Nintendo games to be considered. Also the Pokemon company may want no "competition" in the game, hence why no Yokai watch characters either.
@TheRozenKnight6 ай бұрын
@@Juju2927That didnt stop them before. Also Digimon and Pokemon are not that competitive overall. Digimon is very mallable and tends to be something different with each game and has its roots in Tamagochi-like things. Pokemon is very focused on there core formular with some spinoffs and side games. But they are both multimedia products but Pokemon far far outshines Digimon in that regard.

Great video, but cutting Diddy Kong is a bizarre choice. Cutting Diddy and keeping Dark Samus is one of the wildest Smash takes I’ve heard. But honestly, that’s probably the only MAJOR objection I’d have.

Same here, Dark Samus will never replace Samus outside her mech suit.

I mean Dark Samus is an echo fighter so cutting her would put him in the awkward position of adding another nintendo character who is an echo fighter in. So you wouldn't be getting Diddy if you cut her, you'd get Dr.Mario.

I feel like the approach of this was kinda wrong. They would just return to a normal smash cycle where they cut some characters, keep some others, and add some new comers. They wouldn’t do 86 (or technically 83) characters for a base roster of smash 6, probably 50-65. Fun concept, but you cut yoshi so ill never forgive you

If I could put in my own two cents? E.M.M.I would make an AMAZING Metroid rep. The kill animations could make for great moves, the way they crawl around the stage- you know thise videos of “can you cross the underside of insert stage here with insert character here?” Make THAT E.M.M.I’s main gimmick. Have them be able to stick to the sides of the stage for a limited time so it’s not *too* broken, to really evoke that energy of being outsmarted and hunted by E.M.M.I.

He's another popular character but he's not as important as we think especially when Chrom is also popular to the point where he made it into Ultimate cuz of it but his game is what saved the franchise. Plus half the characters represent OTHER franchises that offer other unique styles of fighting. Getting into Smash isn't about who's popular. It's certainly a factor but if a character offers something interesting and represents an aspect of gaming or w.e., they have more weight to their inclusion than some badass hero with a sword who has his fandom.

@@dnmstarsi All things Ike accomplished in his moveset. Trust me, Ike is waaaaàyyyy more popular than Chrom and Intelligent Systems treats Ike like a secondary mascot these days right behind Marth himself, like Marth, Ike is also considered a legend in Fire Emblem Awakening so he's lore important, and Ike fanboys are vocal when need be. I'm in the Fire Emblem community. I know. In fact, when Ike was finally introduced into the mobile game, downloads began to skyrocket so to say Ike is not significant is a hot take to say the least. There's multiple polls for Fire Emblem characters and Ike spearheads the majority of them, including the for the 1st FE Warriors representation, and Ike came in 1st place. People were angry he didn't appear. The only reason people would downplay Ike as not important is because his moveset has grown stale, specifically when they gave him that brainless Nair and nothing else. No one complained about him until then. People used to do the same back in the Brawl days for both Bowser and Zelda and even C. Falcon himself because of how bad his Brawl moveset was neutered, and Fire Emblem is still more popular these days than over a decade ago.

@@yoder6162 Not really. If one had to keep two FE characters, it would make sense to keep the character that saved the franchise and for those who wanted Ike, just make Chrom a hybrid of Roy and Ike. Trust me, that's much better than going the safe and less criticized route of keep Marth and Ike. Also remember, this is what if Sakurai gave the privilege of building the roster to some random KZfaqr so whatever excuse or reasoning to keep Ike because of them means little to nothing in this scenario.
