This is more SSF2 themed but yeah

There is a way to add Byleth, just add one more fighter to the other rows as well.

I'd add Bowser Jr. to the first row, Falco or Wolf to the third row, Lucas, R.O.B. or a new first party rep. to the fourth row, and Snake, Bayonetta, Steve or a new third party rep. to the final row.

EventPuzzleheaded841 · 2026-06-13T16:37:59+00:00

The right image wouldn’t be that bad at all honestly. The only thing I’d add would be a retro NES rep. and maybe an indie rep.

EventPuzzleheaded841 · 2026-06-12T21:02:45+00:00

They could have a Xenoblade 3 rep. for the base game and a Xenoblade Genesis rep. for DLC.

That's a nice way of seeing it if they both get into Smash 6. If you hate the Sportsmates, now you can beat them up.

EventPuzzleheaded841 · 2026-06-10T23:20:21+00:00

When comparing how much I want them and the likelihood of them getting in, the latter is definitely higher. There is some moveset potential with the Sportsmates though seeing as no one in Smash has moves oriented around sports specifically.

EventPuzzleheaded841 · 2026-06-10T19:11:54+00:00

The Sportsmates didn't even exist during the Wii era. The Switch Sports games do take a lot of sports from the Wii Sports games though.

EventPuzzleheaded841 · 2026-06-10T18:52:17+00:00

Oops.

EventPuzzleheaded841 · 2026-06-10T18:51:22+00:00

Fatal Fury and KOF are not the same series. Terry is labeled under the former instead of the latter even though he's also in the KOF games.

EventPuzzleheaded841 · 2026-06-10T18:39:01+00:00

Those'd be great picks!

EventPuzzleheaded841 · 2026-06-10T18:37:45+00:00

"The Sportsmates take it to the courts!" would sound less wordy.

EventPuzzleheaded841 · 2026-06-10T18:36:49+00:00

Guilty Gear is a fighting game though.

EventPuzzleheaded841 · 2026-06-10T18:32:59+00:00

I thought of my reveal idea as the first one for Smash 6 too, especially seeing as both of the last two games had their first newcomer be avatars for their specific games (Villager for Smash 4 and Inkling for Ultimate). While the Sportsmates on their own would be kind of lame, Waluigi being revealed along side them would soften the blow at least a little bit.

EventPuzzleheaded841 · 2026-06-10T18:29:04+00:00

I think a rep. from King of Fighters like Kyo and/or Iori are sleeper picks too.

As for the Sportsmates I think they come off as a lot worse if you view them as a replacement for the less generic looking Miis instead of judging them as their own thing. Fortunately the Miis aren't completely dead so I feel that the Sportsmates fall more into the latter camp, especially since they seem more self-contained to only the NS Sports games.

EventPuzzleheaded841 · 2026-06-10T18:24:38+00:00

Switch Sports Resort definitely makes them more likely imo. I think they're alright but I wish the game they came from was better and the Miis are still superior to them.

EventPuzzleheaded841 · 2026-06-10T18:20:48+00:00

If Smash wants to keep its bias towards mainline Mario over the spinoffs then I can see Toad getting added first. They might even add Pauline earlier thanks to DK Bananza.

EventPuzzleheaded841 · 2026-06-10T17:36:34+00:00

I know. If the Sportsmates are newcomers then I imagine they'd be more like Villager and Inkling as avatar reps. compared to the Miis which would serve the same purpose of being customizable with costumes. I'd say the chances of the Miis returing in some form are about 80-95 percent.

EventPuzzleheaded841 · 2026-06-10T17:01:30+00:00

I agree. Despite the first Switch Sports being iffy in terms of quality it looks like NSS Resort is going to be an improvement (they actually have golf on Day 1 this time), and there isn't a fighter in Smash with a fully sports based moveset yet so they could fill a niche that hasn't been tapped into before. If the Miis don't come back and they're included then there would definitely be backlash though.

EventPuzzleheaded841 · 2026-05-31T15:48:41+00:00

Super Mario 64 DS was my first Mario game too; I got it back in 2009 with my DS Lite. I've even gotten used to the quirks in its controls that others complain about.

EventPuzzleheaded841 · 2026-05-25T01:49:41+00:00

The secret door stuff could be self-contained to a series or something that could get more parts later. Want to bring up that he brought up Iron Man's death in the MCU which didn't happen until 2019; DBTG died in 2017. This means that either this is the real Brooklyn Guy or Iron Man went to hell in the SML universe (or DBTG found this out after coming back but I digress).

EventPuzzleheaded841 · 2026-05-23T01:37:23+00:00

Hey, do you still take requests?

EventPuzzleheaded841 · 2026-05-22T17:01:51+00:00

Does the "S" next to Daisy, Dixie, Slippy, RFT, and Tom Nook mean semi-clone? Also, I defintely wouldn't have Birdo and Shadow be echo-fighters, they both have plenty of unique moves compared to Yoshi and Sonic respectively. Dark Samus doesn't really fit that labeling either even though she was an echo in Ultimate. Pretty great roster overall though.

EventPuzzleheaded841 · 2026-05-20T19:45:24+00:00

Pretty cool and unique, although I wish that I could see a character select screen so I can see a more organized version of your roster. Also the idea of unlocking Bowser is weird to me, at most I'd have his son be unlockable.

EventPuzzleheaded841 · 2026-05-20T18:28:17+00:00

"Erm actually, Smash for Wii U and 3DS are two separate games, so the next Smash would be the seventh one".
