At the 11th hour, here's my final bunch of predictions for Round 2 of #SmashBrosUltimate DLC before we find out who the ARMS rep is in several hours, as well as a fun list of all the times Crash Bandicoot and Smash Ultimate stuff was announced on the same day.
I'm guessing Ribbon Girl as a disappointing keeping to Smash's "main character is the fighter" thing yet also not being the AT rule shattering Spring Man, getting away with it for being the other poster GIRL of the ARMS game.
Oh yeah, warning: potential salt in about, 10 seconds ago.
Oh yeah oh yeah, I also didn't know much about whatever the hell VergeCUNT has said other than someone guessing Heihachi from it.
Okay some elaboration (warning: opinions):
-One rep per third-party
-"Westies" Japan may not care about include Master Chief, Rayman and Lara Croft. I'm biased towards Crash, but you tell me players wouldn't be ecstatic w/ Banjo's reception and his half of Japan sales Crash has.
(Banjo also being obviously entwined with Nintendo itself, too)
-Doomguy also falls under that too, but primarily the whole "Bethesda straight up said they haven't been contacted", like 2B's creator only just meeting Sakurai when if she was in, they would have talked already

So additional stages they could add...

It could be neat to see Galeem/Dharkon's boss stage (don't know about the other, flat boss stages); FD and Battlefield were originally single-player exclusive before becoming official, if unlockable stages in the next instalment!
Of course, the "staircase" of WoL would be pretty, but if they cut past official stages because they were annoying vertical things, bringing this in would just be inconsistent.
This is even more of a pipedream, but in terms of a PAST 1P stage to make an official one, is there any other option than this? Could have been part of 64's stage list as FD and Battlefield could and would go on to be for later games and it'd be an easy 64 graphics remaster.
As for missing official stages, I'd have to wonder if it's all or nothing for them after they scrapped the 18 stages presumably under shared criteria (redundant, untranslatable gimmick, annoying platforming, built off low-quality assets or too technically demanding)...
And then they'd still have to account for those problems so they might have their own section on the SSS as "compromise stages" where some can't be used for 8P/Stage Morph, no Jungle Hijinx in portable mode, gimmicks are reworked & there's strong separation from normal stages.
But even so, I could see them giving a "hold L when selecting the stage" option to Flat Zone X to play 1 & 2 separately. This would be the only exception to redundant stages because they're literally pretty much already in the game as it is.

Not much but I'd be happy with it.
