Technically, all the music is copyrighted. It's just that the more music you include, the more different copyright holders become involved, and the more likely one is to shut down any videos of the tournament. I think at one point TOs had problems with SquareEnix, and people seemed genuinely concerned that they'd have to ban Hollow Bastion because of Disney (though Disney never did anything).
No the mid air charge was only a thing for Samus in ultimate. WFT could charge on mid air in smash 4.
The museum from NH i think it's a more likely stage than people think, tbh, it's one of the most iconic locations in the series after all.
Currently, I’m of the mindset that the roster will be 60-70 fighters before echoes are included (pretty much close to or even at base Ultimate’s size) because Ultimate brought back 56 non-echoes and added 13 more, and I assume that assets will be reused to some degree similar to how For and Ultimate reused assets from their predecessors. In the end, I think 50-55 veterans and 10-15 newcomers before echoes seems like a reasonable assumption.
DS Waluigi Pinball: I feel like this is a quintessential Waluigi thing.
Outside of flavor of the month fighters, I feel like the Tom Nook probably fits this situation the best. Tom Nook feels like Toad, Eevee, or Meowth where the character has the legacy to feel like a logical choice in a Nintendo/gaming crossover, and it‘s really Sakurai’s decision if he finds Tom interesting enough to add. In the cases of For and Ultimate, we respectively gained the player character in the form of Villager and the most popular NPC with Isabelle. Now that these two are in, Tom would be the most prominent choice to add next from Animal Crossing, and his inclusion will really hinge on Sakurai’s interest.
Honestly, the one Super Mario stage that I would love to have is a Mario Party stage. From Jamboree, Rainbow Galleria is my favorite board, but an older board like Peach’s Birthday Cake, Space Land, Horror Land, Waluigi Island, or Sweet Dream would also be cool to see. Also, a booksquirm stage could be fun to play on.There is also a 3rd Mall stage option
Rainbow Galleria
They aren't?
I wanted traverse town tbh, it's a cool night time cityscape that they frequently return too throughout the series.
I think its the 2D stages that cause some differences in gameplay such as Flat Zone X because of the z-axis.
Wouldn’t this just be another factor in counterpicking? Why ban instead of finding ways to use the stage differences to their advantage?
I think there were a few cases where Smash 4 tournaments tried to treat walled Omega stages as a separate stage from floating platform ones, so wall jumpers could counterpick to a walled Omega form.
I'd love to fight on top of the twilight town train station
I mean I would think Forgotten Land would be the "next hot thing" in Smash because it's the most recent game that's not a remake and is now the highest selling game in the series. I don't really care where the stage is tbh, I've spoken about hoping for Lab Discovera in the past despite doubts they'd use an endgame area (and saying Kirby's indulged in malls before is moot when we're talking about Smash, which hasn't had a stage from Kirby 64 either, speaking on the other mall), I just want a Kirby stage that's not from a game that came out 30 years ago that every other stage has been from lol
It's a side-grade. I like the original Victory screen stage in Ultimate, but it would be also cool to see the current stages from different angles.
Because Sakurai thinks it makes his own creation look cool, obviously.
No the new meta knight final smash is just one of those weird sakurai isms again! Like it looks almost nothing like upper caliber and was changed the moment after the previous final smash (galaxia darkness) became canon!
I mean...
I can see the Kirby games gains certain mechanics and attacks from smash bros ever since Amazing Mirror. Vice versa for each new Smash Bros.I mean...
It doesn't have the lightning effect Meta Knight uses to start the attack, but it's definitely a midair rapid slash from all angles that was given a finisher at the end, so...
If it’s based on that attack then maybe it’s an upgraded interpretation like how Incineroar’s Final Smash is supposedly an upgraded version of its Z-Move.I mean...

At the very least, I hope Smash 6 goes with a more accurate Upper Calibur. Ultimate's sounds and animation feels weightless, and lacks the same impact.I mean...

He's Sakurai's baby so the man's gonna do as he damn pleases with him
The silliest part is that he didn't even need it. The old one was perfectly fine with Ultimate's vision for Final Smashes.
IDK about costumes or ATs, cause those could be anybody. But for Pokemon, I'm expecting at least a couple unevolved Generation 8 and 9 starters, Koraidon, Miraidon, some paradoxes like Great Tusk and Iron Treads, and some Hisuian Pokemon like Kleavor and Zoroark.
I really don't think it's a vendetta as much as people want to believe. Remember that he switched out Cook Kirby(his own creation) for Ultra Sword Kirby(not his own) and originally had Dedede with original Final Smashes in Smash Brawl and 4, but put in Masked Dedede, which is arguably not his own due to originating in a remake of Super Star, for Ultimate.
Armarouge and Ceruledge Pokeballs alongside Tinkaton
Another series that could also be a costume is FNAF.
I think he could be an assist trophy, we have characters like chain chomp AT, after all.
as she is now is kinda bland. Maybe she could get projectile normals like Mega Man, maybe not. Regardless, Samus has become progressively more agile and aggressive, ironically closer to Zero Suit Samus than Power Suit Samus. Her specials can stay mostly the same, at least, but her base kit needs a rework. is massive wasted opportunity. She actually does have equivalents to Samus' specials, albeit altered in function more than Smash does (A rapid-fire Shrapnel Beam, a Boost Ball dash, and a Screw Attack dive bomb), but she could do so much more than Samus' normals, what withher Phazon powers. Ironically, though, the floaty mechanics and flamethrower attacks kinda suit her. doesn't need a full rework, and dumping a ton of copy abilities in there can easily make him overly cluttered. Plus, his normals are pretty intuitive for new players. That said, I don't think it would hurt to throw in a couple elemental abilities, like Fire's breath attack or Spark's thunder dome. I feel like those could flow a bit better than just .is interesting. Her Smash kit is basically made up from scratch... but what would a canon-compliant Zelda even look like? Her most important roles are either A: In an alternate form or personality for most of her screentime (Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, Spirit Tracks), literally dead (Also Spirit Tracks), or using abilities made up for that incarnation (BotW's time magic, Sheikah tech, and I believe most of her light god powers, and EoW's Tri Rod). The only constants are the Light Arrows (Which are usually given to Link anyways) and some vaguely-defined light magic. We could make an original moveset with the Light Arrows, maybe? That'd be fun to see. is uh. Y'know. A clone of a guy from another series entirely, using a fighting style completely different from his game incarnation. Plus, Tears of the Kingdom gave us our first incarnation of Ganondorf in a mainline game since Twilight Princess, back in 2005. I think a rework is pretty overdue., as I've said before, feels weak and weightless in Smash, while his home series has given him all sorts of cool and dynamic moves. I'd really like to see what a Meta Knight based on Star Allies and Forgotten Land could do.. Why is Wario? Wario Land has him be a hard-hitting, mobile brawler. Wario Ware has him be a greedy, lazy goofball. Smash primarily bases him on neither, instead drawing from promo materials above all else. I dunno, that's just a weird way of doing things. Not to mention really friggin' gross. is in a similar boat; His attacks are boring, his kit is weak, and he's doomed to a forgettable low-tier status. Let's fix that.... Hoo boy, my man's been reduced to a weight goofball mascot that only kinda-sorta fits him. Sonic Battle and Sonic Frontiers have given Sonic some slick, flashy attacks that would be a blast in Smash. Why can't we do that instead? comes back, a rework would be nice. Breakable weapons are a fun concept, but the way they're set up makes them feel rather handicapped. mainly needs good aerials and better air movement. In a game like Smash, having a bad air game is a death sentence. I see him being reworked into being fast and hard-hitting, but with slow startup on his best attacks and poor reach overall, forcing him to weave around attacks and look for a good opening. Also, most people seem to agree that the Star Punches would work better than the Power Meter. in Xenoblade is actually a pretty fast guy, much unlike the slow and clunky attacks he has in Smash. His Monado Arts don't work that way in Xenoblade, either. He actually does have a could other buffs in Monado Armour and Enchant, but the rest of his Arts are primarily attacks and debuffs.'s moveset. The quarter-circles are fine, but they feel kinda weird to me, since Smash's whole deal is that everyone has the same control scheme to make them easier to play. I dunno, maybe we can give everyone else quarter-circles on the side. I cannot defend the pressure-sensitive buttons, however. Those are tricky to input right and make his moveset feel unecessarily bloated. I won't be sad to see them go. Oh, and we can take his jump off that fixed arc, it doesn't work well in Smash. is the same as Ryu; Motion inputs are a little jarring but still easy enough to pull off, but pressure-sensitive buttons feel unecessary. Ironically, the reworks I'd want for Ken and Ryu would leave less work rather than more, since we're removing some moves. remains our Three Houses character, which is the most realistic option, I wish they'd go all-in on the Sword of the Creator and the Divine Pulse. The Relics are fun to land hits with, but sharing the moveset leaves each weapon with limited, simplistic moves. Like with Hero, it feels like Sakurai was overcompensating while trying to appease people who complained about Too Many Swordfighters. is going to be controversial, but I don't think he should be the designated Wacky RNG Character. Hero in Dragon Quest is a fairly straigtforward magic knight, and that's cool enough on it's own. Plus, a few of their moves can't be learned by any Hero in Smash. I dunno, I feel like Sakurai was afraid Smash fans would react negatively to another swordfighter and overcompensated trying to make them unique doesn't need a rework - His kit is perfectly servicable for a KH1-based moveset - But the later games give him a lot of crazy tools that would be really cool in Smash. They're not strictly necessary, but they'd be nice.
I mean, you can probably put in the Skyward Sword Octorok as an item. It could be one where you pull it out with the grass on its head, and then use it as a projectile weapon that shoots rocks.
But you could also do the same with the octorok automaton from eow!
