Why do people include all these literally whos in their smash rosters and pretend they're iconic, but I haven't seen a single roster including this actually iconic character.

Is that some kind of Kirby reskin?

Rimuru-sama for smash

no it's one of the most iconic gaming characters of all time

Probably some turd from the newest liberal SJW Undertale.

>tfw when levelled a slime to 99 in DQV

No one would want a slime for Smash. They're iconic, but also the weakest enemy from the series. If they picked someone from Dragon Quest, it would be a human character like the hero from DQX or XI.

There are too many protags to choose from, none with a very specific moveset or anything like that.
Strength has never mattered in Smash anyway, just say it's level 100 or something.

A slime has less of a "moveset" than the typical hero does. And the DQ heroes share a lot of movesets. You could effectively make one character with the same moveset and then give them the skin for the hero of DQIII, IV, V, VI, VII, and VIII. Almost all of these share the same basic skills like Zap, Gigaslash, Heal and Zoom.

Smash threads are people posting their literally-whos and hoping other people who like the same literally-whos give them a (you).

Dragon Quest should have had the hero from Dragon Quest X for Smash 4, to advertise Dragon Quest X back when it was a Wii/Wii U exclusive. They picked Cloud instead, when Cloud should have been in Smash 5 to advertise Final Fantasy VII Remake. SquareEnix being stupid as usual.

Who are we talking about here? Slime or Rocket?

>not IX

slime knight would be a little better, I'd prefer a protag though.

I love them and this past year it was so easy to get merchandise of it all over Japan

Smash isn't an advertising service, it's pure fanservice

I'd if they make metal slime merch artificially scarce

Fuck that add Rimururu, should have been in smash since the first one

There's actually a lot of potential for a slime's moveset based on all the things certain ones do throughout the series, but I get the feeling that the slime's fame as the weakest monster would make autistic nips not want it to be strong or do anything special.

slime would be an assist trophy
and obviously a metal slime would have a rare chance to spawn

Would a DQ rep in Smash boost sales numbers for DQ in the West?

>advertise a character for a game that's already sold 6 million copies on a system Nintendo no longer supports

>Smash isn't an advertising service
>Fire Emblem
>Pokemon
>Mother
>Bayonetta
>Final Fantasy
Now you're just being naive.

Don't add SNK characters and just get Capcom to make Capcom vs SNK 3. Then just keep adding more characters for the base game through DLC. You can have every character you want. I want Zansetsu, Hinako, Mina and etc.

>You could effectively make one character with the same moveset and then give them the skin for the hero of DQIII, IV, V, VI, VII, and VIII. Almost all of these share the same basic skills like Zap, Gigaslash, Heal and Zoom
I would forgive there being another sword guy in Smash if it was the "Hero". The best part is that they don't need any voice acting.

why are they all aged down?

But IX is the best DQ game

Attached: 1473433435472.jpg (414x389, 31K)

It would probably come down to the Dragon Quest III(the main character has an entire trilogy named after him, also Japan went apeshit when it launched), V(most DQ fans think V is the best entry in the series) or XI(it's the newest one) heroes if they wanted a Dragon Quest rep.

They're not, they just look smaller becuase of the (not very well-rendered) perspective.

But it's not. The best Dragon Quest game is entirely based on opinion and will change based on who you talk to.

But also, you're completely overlooking my point that they could have used Smash Bros to advertise Dragon Quest X.

Don’t try and deny it
>that party customizability
>that protagonist
>that endgame
>those grottoes
>those story arch’s

Who else is there to add? Everyone big is in already, only these fan-favorites with dedicated communities that aren't LITERAL nobodies have the chance to get in, like K. Rool and Bandana Dee, unless Nintendo starts to go full whore-out with 3rd parties, which is unlikely for the base game.

DQ doesn't need advertising in Japan and SE doesn't want it to have any advertising in the West.

>Dragon Quest
>a "literal nobody"(in Japan)
If Fire Emblem and Mother can be represented in Smash, why can't Dragon Quest?

Dragon Quest facts:
IXfags are the worst gamefags and Maribelfags are the worst waifufags.

actually I'm in complete agreement aside from V

I like IX mainly because of its class system. And the fact that you can actually see their equipment in-game, that was a nice touch and I wish it showed up more often.

You’re entitled to your opinion but you are wrong and best waifu is actually Celestria

That would be like having a Goomba on the roster. If there's a side-scrolling mode though they'd make good enemies.

OP asked why Iconic characters weren't in Smash roster predictions, but whatever.

Dragon Quest probably won't not only because it's a who outside Japan, but that it's a third party who outside Japan. At least with 1st party whos, it's free to put them in.

They could use his Slime Mori Mori/ Rocket slime moveset.

X just seemed like a beefier IX, I was looking forward to it so much.

How about this guy

never ever baka gaijin

It’s so bad, literally the best MMO since FFXI and Lineage 2 to come out, one that is ACTUALLY not a low budget broken sandbox or a boring wow clone and it dioesn’t get a release outside Japan.

>DQ doesn't need advertising in Japan
Yes it does. Despite memes, games like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy still need extensive advertising campaigns in Japan to keep their numbers up. If they didn't do this, then the casual gamers wouldn't know the next DQ game came out. Only the million or so core fans.

>and SE doesn't want it to have any advertising in the West.
This part is true. Because there's some idiots in SquareEnix who give more marketing to a low budget Secret of Mana remake than a AAA Dragon Quest game.

There are tons of characters just in Nintendo they could still add to Smash Bros. That being said however, they need to thin out the characters they currently have. Far too many clones. Fuck Falco and Dr Mario. And we need a Ganondorf that isn't just slow Cpt Falcon.

we need scientist Mario

Maribel for Smash.

I would smash Maribel.

Maribelfags should off themselves

>Dragon Quest is well known enough to breed contrarians and shitposters

TORNEKO TALOON would be fuckin perfect

I meant DQ doesn't need Smash to advertise it. It gets things like posters in every other shop, and displays in the subway made with a million legos, and themed cafes, and blue slime meat buns in the conbinis, and

literally no moveset.

At this point, I'm pretty sure that SE doesn't care how well known DQ is or could be in the West. They'll double down on screwing over Western fans no matter what.

The dream would be having Alena in Smash. But it'll never happen. She doesn't have a sword.

Why are smasgfags so fucking autistic? The single longest piece of literature in human history is a smash fanfiction, still ongoing.

Are you implying that your picture is of something that isn’t also a literally who?

DQ's bigness in Japan kinda overrides it's non popularity outside. It's hard to say if popularity outside of Japan has ever been taken into account, since there are no characters from western series, and Lucas is in. And really, when it comes down to characters nintendo isnt seemingly trying to advertise, Sakurai has the final say and he's a Japanese man so DQ is probably a big deal to him.

yeah

Slime wouldn't really have a good move set, unless you wanted Slime to represent Rocket Slime and not Dragon Quest proper

What about a slime dressed as Erdrick

>people think doomguy, dark souls sun guy, Crash, Banjo, or any indie character could be considered iconic

How about Erdrick dressed as a slime?

What if it’s Erdrick wearing an Erdrick-slime outfit

All I want is Okami in Smash, I will buy that shit right away if Okami's in Smash.

they should add halo as well

I hate this post very much.
