Decidueye is Grass/Ghost!
Now I want him for Smash even more. A Ghost type in Smash could be something special.

I sense a lot of forum arguments on which Alolan starter should be in Smash between the Fire and Grass starters coming in the future.
And then Sakurai adds the Water starter

Probably the least likely of the three, but I'd actually really like to see them included, their body type would be very distinct - the changes in silhouette between the reclining neutral position and being more upright along with the hair's shifting shape could make them a very visually dynamic character.

Decidueye would probably be more interesting, but I needed a cat fighter in Smash like yesterday.

Seeing a sea lion hobble around the stage would be pretty funny
Although it would probably "swim" on land, if they needed it to.

We might have come close to having a panther...
Even if it's just part of a taunt or victory animation, I'd like to see the Beast Within forms integrated into Bayonetta's portrayal - they did such a great job of capturing the rest of her moveset.

All of a sudden I find myself agreeing with what was once known as Sceptile logic, we need a grass starter for... starter type representation or something.
I have suddenly come around on this line of thinking as of Gen 7, and what a coincidence, it's an Owl!

I should have add /s . I thought it would be obvious since I added the picture to it but I was so wrong.

I wonder if we'll find out what new Fire Emblem character they've added to smash switch on 12th January then?
I'd settle for trophies at this point. Anything to keep those designs alive - I feel like it's one of those games that's just gonna be forgotten by everyone, though...

Sakurai has heard your cries for a 7th gen pokemon and will add what he considers the most popular pokemon to the fighting roster.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

It's obviously Takumi.
Do you mean Wario or Dedede?
Decidueye seems way too "manufactured" a pick to me -- it's like Smash fans have the preconceived notion that there needs to be a starter trio and are treating Decidueye like a shoo-in because of it. We don't know what Game Freak/TPC has in store for Decidueye. Greninja won a ton of "best new Pokémon" polls long before it was revealed for Smash Bros., and it was given a prominent role in the anime. Its popularity felt organic. Decidueye looks kind of cool, but its popularity among Smash fans mostly strikes me as a forced desire for a grass starter. I'm not sold on it yet.
I really don't see this as a Zoroark type of deal...Whereas the fire starter's line elicits complains for feeling too generic, and the water starter and its evos are very divisive in the community, the Rowlet line is easily the most popular and well received of the three. Sun and Moon's anime may not have started but the love toward the owl newcomers is tangible and I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if it gets to star in Smash because of its popularity (with the personal addendum that I'd love if it was yet wouldn't mind if it wasn't).
Being a Grass/Ghost type is just icing on the cake. Sakurai could get some serious fun out of a moveset with ghost elements I'm sure. Not that Greninja had stuff beyond the Water type, but hey.
Gen 2 had a number of great designs, although I'll admit I'm biased because I also feel Gen 2 was the definitive Pokemon experience. That said, Heracross is also one of my most wanted Smash characters, both because it works and because I love the goshdurn thing.
SAKURAI
GIVE ME THIS BABY
I'm definitely pushing Decidueye for representation (We already have a Fire-Starter, a Dark-Starter, and hand-to-hand combat Pokemon... Plus having a wrestler reduces Hawlucha's future chances)/both are great but Owl Ghost Archer is a bit cooler. That said, the lariat does make a convincing argument...
It's still important to keep in mind that Greninja was added to Smash 4 in the prototype stage. Greninja's popularity ended up being organic, but that was just because Sakurai had an eye for what people like. And as much as people like Incineroar, people love Decidueye.
That said, it also does fit in very well mechanically (Our only archers use a bunch of other weapons, too) and thematically, so that definitely helps. But it's also super cool and I'm sure GF/Sakurai took notice (Plus it's a starter, so a good chunk of players are going to use it), so if Smash Switch does want to add a Gen 7 Pokemon right out of the gate, Decidueye's probably the best choice outside of adding HOT RED (TM) as his own fighter.

But we don't have wrestlers in Smash damn it!

I want Decidueye mostly because it's probably going to be the only shot for Smash to have a true archer type fighter ala Hawkeye from Marvel vs Capcom without resorting to some obscure ass Fire Emblem character.

I'm going to make time to jump back to for glory. Any tips for kicking Bayo's ass including good counterpicks? Last time I played I couldn't find good opportunities to punish her. All her attacks bounce right off the shield like Sheik's fish. I have the hardest time grabbing her, and I swear her counter is the worst thing in this game.
No you're not.

Heh, I still remember the first time I fought a Bayo: I'm usually not fussed about counters because I just bait them out and grab, so I thought I'd be fine... then I found out she's immune to grabs during the animation ¬.¬
Against a lot of cruddy Bayos you'll find on for glory you can almost exclusively beat them by blocking their slide-kick and punishing as it's not exactly safe on shield. Obviously against any half-decent bayo you'll have to find a slightly better technique though :3
A tutu?
IntelliHeath

Definitely this. I'm not rooting for Decidueye because he's a grass starter or a popular character. I'm rooting for him because I really like it's design, and I believe he would be a great full-fledged archer, only if Sakurai found the pokemon interesting enough to be in Smash Bros.
Also, no character should be considered as "Shoo-in" to be in Smash Bros anymore because it could be hard to tell what would happens. Also especially what happens with DLC development. People were wrong on many accounts.

I dunno. I think most of the characters people considered "shoo-in's" (Except for Ridley, and maybe Dixie if we're generous) made it in. At this point, the mentality should be that any character can make it in, seeing how we got both Cloud and Bayonetta.

I mean, that way we can have Starman the fighter, the item, and the enemy, too!
... They seemed to be proud of Smash Run & Smash Tour, so I expect both of those to come back, personally.

At least the t pose model works for a lariat. And I give it props as it's one of those attacks that actually put the Pokemon in a contact animation!
It could be worse, like Accel Rock
