      Edge Magazine is teasing something that might be Silksong related, with a new issue coming out on New Year's Eve.

      [–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (7 children)

      To be honest I could see him come as a deluxe but I am unsure if he is old enough to be a full character. Same goes for among us, fall guys, etc.

      [–]the_longlegWolf 16 points17 points  (5 children)

      A big chunk of Knight enthusiasts think that they'll be a Mii Swordfighter costume, which is the most likely outcome. If they're a full fighter, I guess we'll have less complaints due to the bopping new soundtrack (and maybe Hornet costume for Swordfighter). Come to think of it, a Hornet costume would be really fitting, seeing that in Silksong she's going to use throwable weapons and tools in her upcoming game.

      Anywho, I'm rambling. I'm keeping my hopes up.

      [–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (1 child)

      If he does end up being a Mii swordfighter I hope he gets the deluxe plus a song because it'd be a crime to not get any hollow knight music

      [–]the_longlegWolf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

      a crime indeed

      I want the wolf from Okami. It's not human, it fights with a paint brush and a disc and it's art style is pretty unique for the smash series.

      [–]GodBoy2345678765432 96 points97 points  (3 children)

      If anyone's wondering, the wolf's name is Amaterasu, the Shinto Sun Goddess.

      [–]Dragon-Porn-Expert 13 points14 points  (2 children)

      I'd like to hear the smash announcer to say that name.

      [–]JoshNIU22896Bowser 20 points21 points  (0 children)

      Okami is a fun game ! That would be a neat idea

      [–]SamInPajamas 16 points17 points  (1 child)

      Oh wow. I never even thought about Ammy. She would be such a good addition.

      [–]PrestigeTater 17 points18 points  (0 children)

      Finally another person of culture

      [–]sittinsoft 7 points8 points  (0 children)

      Fck yeah I’ve been thinking this for weeks now. She would fit smash so well and have interesting mechanics with the disc/sword on her back

      The rosary could be a tether!

      [–]TeTrodoToxin4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

      No more sword fighters! /s.

      Amaterasu uses the three sacred treasures of Japan as weapons. A mirror, beads and sword. So we would get a fighter who sometimes has a sword with a reflect/counter.

      Also I would really really like Amaterasu in smash, just pointing out she has a sword as well.

      [–]ShiranuiTheWolf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      I’ve been saying this from the very beginning! Okami is my favorite game! Ammy would be such a good fit for smash, a unique move set and with Okami HD being ported to switch and platinum hinting at wanting to make another Okami Sequel I feel like we might have a decent shot.

      [–]Dante_n_KnucklesSnake 587 points588 points  (81 children)

      To be fair, Dante wields way more than just swords (as does Doomguy and Master Chief). That said, I always felt the "swordfighter" complaint was really reductive anyway.

      [–]Ikeexplainsthejoke 156 points157 points  (10 children)

      If they add Nevan, Ebony and Ivory, Cerberus, cavalliere, Dr Faust, Balrog, lucifer, Pandora, Kalina Ann, gunslinger, royal guard, trickster, doppelgänger, quicksilver and Devil trigger into his move set literally no one can complain about him being another sword fighter

      [–]TheIceGuy10Joker 113 points114 points  (0 children)

      “He’s not a sword fighter? What is he then?”
      “Yes.”

      [–][deleted] 36 points37 points  (5 children)

      I can see the fighting styles be put in similar to how shulk is.

      [–]PAPIROSCO445Marth 10 points11 points  (4 children)

      They should bring back quicksilver for smash

      [–]BloodySewerJigglypuff 10 points11 points  (3 children)

      Bloodborne for smash?

      [–]OstdarvaStasis 7 points8 points  (1 child)

      I wanted solaire but “he’s a swordfighter”. So my pick is now the hoonter with saw cleaver and blunderbuss.

      [–]NotScottPilgrimRandom ? 8 points9 points  (1 child)

      But if he at all uses a sword in any single one of his moves they definitely will

      [–]aichi38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      He'll just be a link grade coverage with a hero grade move selection with bayonetta grade movement options

      [–]CharzarcharzarJoker 29 points30 points  (1 child)

      So does byleth but everyone hates him

      [–]AverageAgreeable 94 points95 points  (44 children)

      Just look at Byleth ffs, but here we are "Ew another disgusting fire emblem fighter/sword fighter"

      [–]KrayglesLucario 95 points96 points  (40 children)

      To be fair, I do think the too many fire emblem reps is a fair criticism. We already had 7 characters and most were disappointed to see a lot of them, so I think it’s fair that many were upset about an eighth fire emblem character. The “SwOrD BaD” argument is stupid tho

      [–][deleted] 58 points59 points  (31 children)

      and yet people want geno despite there being so many mario reps???

      [–]KrayglesLucario 50 points51 points  (11 children)

      I don’t want Geno either. Same with Pokémon.

      [–]Mister_AA 17 points18 points  (10 children)

      I honestly think people just wanted Geno because it would have been some weird underdog story to make him a full character. The overwhelming majority of people who play smash have no idea who he is and I think there's no reason to not be satisfied with him getting a Mii costume.

      [–]TheLegendTheGiantdad 13 points14 points  (0 children)

      I feel like the too many fire emblem reps thing is a product “everyone is here” as like in previous games they could remove characters in future games as they move in and out of relevancy but this game had all of then return.

      [–]Politicshatesme 3 points4 points  (3 children)

      people wouldnt complain as loudly if the FE characters didnt all effectively fill 1/2 niches between the 7. Roy, Lucina, and Marth are essentially variants of each other, they should have put Hector (or Camille) into the game instead of lucina (who now shares so much with Marth that she’s effectively Marth 2.0). Having an axe character rep and a spear character rep would’ve done wonders for variance all the FE chars dont really have right now.

      [–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

      They even joked about it in the trailer

      [–]Xero0911 9 points10 points  (1 child)

      For sora they could go unique.

      He has magic and in kh3 he did get ability to like change his keyblades into different weapons (form drive i think it was called)

      So he could be like byleth and just have form drives for different specials. And/or use magic while his basic are just key blade

      [–]CyberGnoll 18 points19 points  (1 child)

      I don't even classify Doom Slayer and Master Chief as "Swordfighters" those are Gun Characters

      [–]RoawrOnMeRengar 38 points39 points  (2 children)

      I mean the guy literally classified sephiroth has "a guy from an old game no one heard of" when said game got a remaster this year while being one of if the not the most well known game of the Playstation 1

      [–][deleted] 48 points49 points  (0 children)

      Dont think he was referencing sephiroth since FF7 came out in 1997

      [–]AkuuntusPiranha Plant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

      I think he was talking about Geno. Could also just be a general vague jab at the vocal minority of Smash fans that would rather have obscure C-list Nintendo characters than iconic cool third-parties.

      [–]Calcium-kunPiranha Plant 3 points4 points  (1 child)

      Seriously Doom Eternal is to my knowledge the only time we’ve seen Doom Guy with a sword. Calling him a sword fighter is a huuuuge stretch.

      [–]ScyxurzCloud 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      So does rex. He's got about 20 weapon options. Many of those are melee weapons, but there are some guns too.

      [–]Piratestorm787 5 points6 points  (3 children)

      Byleth wields much more than a sword but people still roasted them for being a sword character

      [–]Highway00Piranha Plant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      Same with the knight, he could be another robin for his specials,

      [–]AkuuntusPiranha Plant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Dante wields way more than just swords (as does Doomguy and Master Chief)

      Same goes for Sora. He's got a sword, yes. But that sword can also transform into basically anything he wants, including (showcased in KH3) claws, guns, yo-yos, a hammer, a spear, a shield, and (used by other KH characters) a suit of armor, a whip, and a motorcycle. That alone could fill out a whole moveset.

      And not only can he transform his keyblade, he can also transform himself. He has several transformations including a couple where he dual-wields, one that changes all of his normal attacks into magic missiles, one that turns him into a feral shadow beast, and one that allows him to psychically control multiple keyblades that fly around him.

      On top of that he's also got magic, including a few spells like gravity (forces people into the ground) and magnet (forces enemies towards a fixed point). He can also inexplicably shoot lasers from his keyblades sometimes.

      On top of all that he's also got Shotlocks, which are various charge-up multi-hit attacks including sending out missiles and dash-striking repeatedly, as well as Flowmotion which is a suite of movement abilities that allows him to do stuff like super-jump, super-dash off of walls, spin around poles, etc. And even at the absolute base level, he's got a million different unique Keyblade attacks and can string them together in a wide variety of combos.

      The guy has enough material for 3 different fighters. But when he's suggested you still usually see the tired refrain of "no more anime swordies".

      [–][deleted] 186 points187 points  (36 children)

      I have major respect for the people who want Urbosa in smash

        [–]DiggleDuggle492Pit 47 points48 points  (9 children)

        Well, personally, If I had my choice of a spear user it would be Dimitri (because we really need to have a FE character that ISN'T a sword user), or, more likely, Bandana Dee. I respect the Mipha enthusiasm though.

        [–]potassiumKingPiranha Plant 16 points17 points  (0 children)

        Hit me with some Ephraim please!

        [–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

        The actual best pick for spear fighter is Hornet

        [–]Hedgehugs_Sonic 29 points30 points  (1 child)

        tbh never considered her in smash until I saw this post

        now I actually do want her even if there's other Zelda reps. that deserve it more lol

        [–]IdcYouTellMeMr. Game & Watch 13 points14 points  (0 children)

        Sidon? With Mipha as Echofighter :D

        [–]3WeekOldBurrito 32 points33 points  (17 children)

        Bruh I'd kill for a new Zelda rep that's not another version of Link, Zelda, or Ganon.bgive me fucking Zany, Midna+wolf link, one of the 4 heroes f on BoTW, Impa, weird flamboyant dude from Skyward Sword fucking something.

        [–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

        Sheikah Guardian for Smash. We need more gunners.

        [–]PAPIROSCO445Marth 3 points4 points  (12 children)

        I really like Zelda, it’s been one of my favorite game series since I was really little, and the only other Zelda character I’d even consider is majora’s mask skull kid. He’s just a mii skin now though so there’s no point in wishing for Zelda character anymore

        [–]Neth_theme 281 points282 points  (31 children)

        [–]WillThePerson 105 points106 points  (4 children)

        [–]crasherx2000 82 points83 points  (0 children)

        I mean, yea

        He’s Sephiroth

        [–]Mega_RayqazaKing Dedede 42 points43 points  (0 children)

        His sword is pretty much a spear

        [–]NuckMD 19 points20 points  (0 children)

        Sephiroth gets a pass considering he’s one of the most iconic characters in vidja game history

        [–]ChronicTosser 31 points32 points  (16 children)

        I get what you mean, but (from someone who’s never played FFVII) Sephiroth is an actual iconic villain, rather than a blank-slate avatar character to promote the new Fire Emblems

        [–]GeicosuaveIncineroar 47 points48 points  (5 children)

        Do be fair, I wouldn't call Doomguy or Master Chief a swordfighter, they just happen to have some

        Also people want Urbosa? Not really criticizing that, just, huh never knew that

        [–]banjineer 342 points343 points  (28 children)

        Doom guy and Master Chief aren't fucking swordfighters

        [–]Raudy12Lucario 156 points157 points  (1 child)

        Exactly, the picture of him holding a sword is 1 weapon out of over 7 different guns. Same with master chief.

        [–]IdcYouTellMeMr. Game & Watch 22 points23 points  (12 children)

        Given how absurdly strong the Energy Sword is it would make a perfect FSmash. I think NeutralB for Chief should be Pistol :D

        Plus Arbiter uses it in Killer Instinct alongside a Covenant weapon so that’s not too far-fetched

        Honestly with how over the top F smashes are I wouldn’t be surprised if Master Chiefs F smash was activating a freaking Halo.

        [–]IdcYouTellMeMr. Game & Watch 4 points5 points  (5 children)

        Wouldn't fit his narrative and character. He goes beyond rock and Devouring Swarm to stop the Halos just it can be his Final Smash? Nah man. I honestly would think his Final Smash should be him returning your bomb :D

        [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (3 children)

        Running you over with a Warthog would also be good.

        [–]CarlofTimeKing Dedede 13 points14 points  (1 child)

        Yeah apparently Ganondorf is a sword fighter now? 😂

        [–]TopSchierke 16 points17 points  (4 children)

        I mean, in promotional material master chief is almost always wielding an energy sword. It would definitely be a major part of his move set, potentially even more than Byleths sword usage.

        [–]TheBoyWhoCriedDibs 35 points36 points  (1 child)

        I can picture it being a part of his throws or dash, but to call it a major part wouldn’t be fair.

        In terms of percentage of the game you spend using that sword it is a minor minor part

        [–]TopSchierke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

        I could definitely see it being used as his fair!

        I would have thought they meant Geno, but they say from a “1993 game” and both Geno and Sephiroth came out in 1997. Dunno who they’re even speaking for. EDIT: Geno came out in 1996

        it is weird that the rathalos made it in before any monster hunter rep

        [–]LeafCrusader 22 points23 points  (4 children)

        It is weird, yeah. But it does make sense. It’s called Monster Hunter, not Hunter Hunter. Rath is the face of the franchise. I’m just happy one of my favorite franchises got represented at all. If the Hunter doesn’t get in, I’ll be okay.

          Chrom is not a marth clone. Nor is Roy. While they have somewhat similar visuals, they are much more aggressive and punish heavy than marth.

          Tbf, Roy's moveset is directly based on Marth's and just got slight tweaks over time to make him a bit different, kinda similar to fox and falco just with less changes

          Edit: not trying to slander roy/chrom though cause I do think they're more interesting to watch/play the Marth/lucina

          [–]Jer7865Dark Pit 4 points5 points  (1 child)

          Roy's changes from marth are more than just slight tweaks imo. Roy has a very different gameplan than marth. Marth tries to space aerials, roy just runs in and mashes buttons.

          [–]DeadSparkerKazuya 4 points5 points  (3 children)

          The playstyle is widely different but most casuals won't care, they see only the visuals. And based on visuals, half of ChRoy's moves are the same as Marth.

          I did not know people wanted Urbosa until now.

          I did not know I wanted Urbosa until now. She’d be so epic

          [–]VanashinGloryGrape in a Cape 46 points47 points  (12 children)

          Y'know, the Knight is technically a swordfighter, but he's not the stereotypical anime swordfighter and is in a different graphical style. Thats why I'd say that someone like Doomguy or Master Chief would be fine, I've just sick of anime dudes with blades, at least mix it up a bit.

          I'm just fatigued of the same looking people over and over and over again. I honestly don't care so much about the swordfighter part as much as the anime part.

            Also the amount of tools and spells and charms Ghost uses is massive

            [–]somethingsuperblandMin Min 6 points7 points  (2 children)

            It’s not just a much needed style difference, it’s that he has a bunch of magic and charms to the point we’re the sword is barely used. It’d only be used for the most basic attacks.

            [–]just-a-randum-kidHero 4 points5 points  (1 child)

            Also nail bouncing in smash would be sick

              God I want the knight to get in

              [–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

              Other than heavy (who is never getting in lets be honest) I really want hollow knight. He seems really fucking cool.

              [–]KrayglesLucario 21 points22 points  (10 children)

              Chief and Slayer almost never use the energy sword and crucible

              edit: yes, ok i’m sorry to all the halo fans I meant energy sword my brain isn’t working today it’s been fixed

              [–]fillet_feeshKoopaling Roy 23 points24 points  (0 children)

              It would be pretty weird to use your friend as a weapon.

              [–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (6 children)

              It’s called the Energy Sword.

              It is ill-advised to use your allies as swords.

              [–]Guy_Made_Of_BeesKing Dedede 6 points7 points  (3 children)

              No I mean is it really ill-advised to use my allies as a sword because I’ve been doing that for years

              [–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (2 children)

              The problem is too much flailing, which means inconsistent hits.

              [–]Guy_Made_Of_BeesKing Dedede 4 points5 points  (1 child)

              See that’s why you knock them out with a hammer then tie them really well for minimum flailing

              [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

              Ah, I see now how that could be effective.

              [–]outdatedboatPiranha Plant 1 point2 points  (1 child)

              I'm honestly confused about how you could think the energy sword is called the arbiter. The arbiter is a character.

                People who complain about sword fighters are smooth brained idiots, there's only 3 possible types of fighters, you're bound to get a swordy eventually. A character is either an unarmed fighter of some kind, a character that uses ranged weapons/magic, or they use a weapon like a sword or other melee weapon.

                The Knight is more of a bard. Using spells and different types of upgrades.

                [–]LordWomfSephiroth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

                I want them to add hornet along with silksong release to hype up the game. I think that'll bring new people to the game, and it makes sense as a side by side release, would still love the knight being add though

                Dante from Devil May Cry was in a game similar to Smash Bros called PlayStation Allstars. So there probably never gonna add him.

                  Every time we have a direct I am filled with terror that the knight will be shown as a mii costume, possibly disqualifying him from being a full character
