Even if Capcom pitched it, Nintendo accepted.

Nintendo has a plenthora of IPs, many of which have no playable characters in Smash. Even if we're to accept that Smash has gone from "a celebration of Nintendo" to "a celebration of gaming," it's still a shift that occurred.
Nintendo accepted because it clearly seemed like fun. Plus if Dante is in it, we finally get the Bayonetta-Dante match up people have been clamoring for for YEARS. That alone is worth it

I'm sorry, how do you not know about Dante or Devil May Cry if you've been playing video games in the last 15 years?

An insanely popular character from a very influential action series that just had a major comeback with new release last year?

Which Fire Emblem game is he from again?
Cmon dude, really?
Now I know why the minimum required content policy used to exist; and if it comes back, we all know who to blame...
I really miss those days, when this forum was worth coming to more than maybe once or twice a month. Because at least there was a constant influx of people and there always interesting conversations going on.

So, inform us what the Smash community has to say about this that actually means diddly dick. Cause if everyone in the Smash community is having a collective aneurysm over the possibility of Dante getting in then I don't think there's any actual problem here

Not surprised you forgot about that since people forgot the game ever existed

Yeah, but he hasn't been an influential character on Nintendo consoles, therefore Yoshi either doesn't know him, doesn't care for him, is mad at him because he never came to his favorite console, or is just trolling.

It's hard to tell where the genuine close mindedness ends and trolling begins with this one.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say that they are just trolling, but I am curious as to the reasoning behind it; comedic value, trying to make some point, spite?

for ages people have been saying "Literally who" whenever someone makes a prediction about who they think will be added as a fighter to smash next. they do it because it's either a very niche character and/or they simply just don't care about the character.

for example when people were predicting Erdrick for Dragon Quest. Dragon is extremely niche in the west and alot of people don't know who that is. and people even called an extremely famous character like Banjo-Kazooie a "literally who" simply because they just don't care about the bear an bird and would rather someone like Minecraft Steve get in. "Literally who?" is a meme.

as for Fire Emblem. that's another meme. people have bitched and moaned about Generic Anime Swordsman from Fire Emblem ever since smash 4 when people got sick of them adding FE sword fighters like Robin and Lucina to the game and then when they added Corrin to the roster, that only added fuel to that fire.

And Chrome in Ultimate as a last troll move.

But the Dragon Quest Hero ain't no mere Generic Anime Swordsman, He's the OG!!!

And I have a fondness of the Dragon Quest 8 Hero, he's my favorite Hero:

I always thought of Smash Bros as a game that endeavors to bring people together from many fandoms. Yet that don't seem to be how it looks from here.
Am wondering why other devs don't put the effort in to make a worthwhile alternative for other platforms, as the current existing ones are all pretty weak and lacking in even stuff as simple as variety and number of moves. Now I fear it's too late as Nintendo have not stopped adding and improving, making any hope of catching up a shrinking dot on the fading horizon of missed opportunities.

Got some more leaky leaks... Well no, but some wild tweeter theories, that Smash might get Travis Touchdown this time.

We'll see in circa 20 minutes.

Lucky for you Hawki, its a Nintendo character at the very least...

So I guess the rule of "All DLC characters will be one fighter from a franchise that is not represented in Smash" is now broken.

Blythe from Fire Emblem Three Houses, the newest game in the series.

...since when was that a rule to be broken? The very first DLC fighter was Piranha Plant.

Technically Piranha Plant was not part of the Fighter Pass. He was a Pre-Order Bonus for buying the game itself.
