Description

Ever since Joker was introduced in Smash Bros Ultimate, people seems to imagine the dynamic between our current SEGA squad akin to a Mother-Son-Pet. But what if our 3rd SEGA rep wasn’t Joker, but instead another character from SEGA. I’d like to see how the fans would imagine that dynamic that would be different from the current one. Here are a few of picks of mine, and imagining the possible dynamic between them.

Minato Arisato/Makoto Yuki (Persona 3)

Fun fact, back in Smash 4, I thought that Persona was one of those cool and popular franchises that unfortunately was not possible to get a rep in Smash. Because not only it was a Playstation game, but a spin-off. What kind of video  game company would even represent a spin-off before a mainline? Especially when that mainline has more game on Nintendo than it. And I was thinking that if we ever get a Persona character it would be Minato, since he is an older character that represent the popular modern Persona, a poster boy for it. Fast forward, not only we got a Persona character, that character isn’t Minato, but the newest protagonist. He did end up as a costume, like Yu. But can you imagine if we got him (or Yu), instead?

I bet the fans (Myself included) would think of him as Sonic and Bayo’s son or something and make jokes out of it.

Kiryu Kazuma (Yakuza)

I have no opinion on him, except that he seems like a really requested SEGA character.

In my mind, the dynamic between them would be something of a love triangle (Sometimes one-sided on their parts). But I’m not sure how the fans would think of their dynamic.

Shadow the Hedgehog (Sonic the Hedgehog)

This is to be expected. He is the character that everyone expected to be in the game as an echo, yet he wasn’t meant to be. We got a brand new unique character from a different franchise instead. But that doesn’t stop fans from thinking he is in the game somehow. Alongside the ones we got.

But we can still speculate on what if he gets in Smash instead of Joker. In my opinion, if he was, the squad would be a parallel to Palutena and her two angel sons.

This doesn’t just apply to Shadow, however, but to any Sonic characters as well.

Arle Nadja (Puyo Puyo)

I was kinda surprised that she wasn’t chosen, since she was quite popular in Japan and her recent game came to the Switch. You’d think that they would try to pull a Fire Emblem and make her popular to the West. While I have no opinion on her either, the idea of Sonic having two fellow female reps sounds appealing, even tho I like Bayo as the sole female 3rd party character (There’s no Kazooi to me, just Banjo).

I can imagine either a love triangle or Sonic being protective toward his girls, and not letting potential suitors go after them.

That doesn’t just apply to Arle, but to any female characters from the SEGA library.

While I'm not exactly comfortable with the idea of Arle being romantically involved with Sonic, since she already has Satan after her and seems genuinely disinterested in a relationship… most of these dynamics are pretty adorable! (especially the one with Shadow lol)

I hope that they actually do more than just the three SEGA reps, Arle is one of my all-time favorites. ;;

Thanks. Well, I doubt anyone would be comfortable to see Sonic being romantically involved with a human.


What's with the Shadow one? XD


I wonder which SEGA character is gonna be next, I bet another one will pop up in the next game, if not in this one. It feels like a pattern that a new one appear in each game since Brawl, even tho we could have one back in Melee.

I like the idea of Bayonetta being a Palutena figure to both Sonic and Shadow, it's adorable!

I'm wondering too… we still have 5 characters yet to be revealed once the ARMS character is shown!

So is bayo just the sega-mom friend?

Missplayer30 In reply to noodleTH [2020-04-22 16:03:36 +0000 UTC]

Her being a mom friend make sense to me.


But also, I like the idea of her being the "token girl" too (Unpopular opinion, but I like this trope). XD

I want to see a Smash Bros cartoon where Bayonetta and Palutena will constantly be catty and passive-aggressive to each other now...

I'd like a Smash Bros show period. But with the 12 original characters as the main protags while the others are recurring characters that still have their own spotlight (Kinda like Hetalia).

But a Smash Bros movie would be cool.

I think the best format for a Smash Bros TV series would be like Justice League unlimited.  You know, where you have a core cast of "founding members" which in this case would be the original cast from Smash Bros, and other members would come to prominence in episodes focused around them, acting as backup, or just for fun background stuff.  That is how I learned to appreciate characters like The Question, Captain Atom, Star Girl, etc.

Another one I thought be a good character would be Jack Cayman of MadWorld and Anarchy Reigns

That would be cool. I wonder how that would affect their dynamic if he was the 3rd character.

Except according to SSBU itself, Joker's copyright belongs to Atlus and Atlus alone.  So technically there's only TWO Sega reps.

That's like saying Shulk or the Pokemon don't count as Nintendo reps. Therefore Nintendo has less reps than they actually have in the roster.

Ability-King-KK In reply to Missplayer30 [2020-04-21 20:11:41 +0000 UTC]

Accept those characters ARE owned by Nintendo.  And if Joker truly was owned by Sega, why did Atlus appear in the copyright?  That's the exact opposite of Bayonetta, as Platinum Games never appeared in the copyright for her despite the fact that they should have.  Even her Amiibo only has the Sega copyright.
