Goku
Sora
Thats the list. Even Crono, Dante, and Geno would disappoint some people
Personally, I hope it's some stupid Fire Emblem sword character so that Sakurai goes out with a maximum middle finger to everyone.It's Sigurd's time to shine!
No more fighting game characters either.

I think more people would be happy with the DLC in general if the DLC was more stacked
Like Piranha Plant was probably the best received DLC aside from maybe Sephiroth because it was met with a clean palate
Just throw a bunch of iconic characters in and people won't be too upset by anything. When half your dlc roster is "why" though people have a lot less patience in general

Spot on. Not enough star power in the DLC, especially in Fighter Pass 2.
Ever since Hero/Banjo, the DLC reveals (aside from Sephiroth) have been duds.
people would be happy to see Master Chief or Ryu Hayabusa or Dante or Sora or Phoenix Wright or Crash
The problem is half the roster is only "why" because everybody has different wants and anybody that isn't one of those wants becomes a "why." That's why there's no real choices that wouldn't disappoint "the internet," because people are always going to be disappointed if they don't get exactly who they want.
Doubt
I'm all for Phoenix Wright but let's be honest, he's not iconic in the slightest and that's kinda an example of what I mean. People are just going to insert their favorites as big or "iconic" or whatever and then be disappointed when they don't get in.
I had Terry at the top of my wishlist, and even consider him iconic to a degree
But I mean
He should be an undercard type guy that is added after good faith is earned, not someone you throw out when you've had a bunch of whatevers in a row
Steve is really outside the typical 20-35 year old fanbase.I think people overestimate how young the fans of Minecraft always are.
I'm not saying Hero or Banjo are whatevers
I'm saying the well was already poisoned at that point. By the time Terry Bogard was released you needed Banjos and Heroes nonstop or else people would be disappointed
Kazuya on the other hand, I'm not sure I even respect as sufficiently iconic to fighting game fans. Tekken is pretty ensemble. He's a significant character but it's not like he's the Ryu of Tekken or anything.

Minecraft came out in the same decade as Majora's Mask...
I wanna say Heihachi is a better pick, but he's not a LOT better or anything. My main point is not that Kazuya isn't the Ryu of Tekken as much as Tekken doesn't feel like it has a Ryu to begin with... but if you were trying to pick Ryu you accidentally picked Ken probably.
There are other major characters like Jin Kazama too, who aren't Mishimas
I wanna say Heihachi is a better pick, but he's not a LOT better or anything.
He has his mother's name sure, but he's literally the son of Kazuya Mishima. You can't really go let's pick someone not from this family and then mention Jin
Sakurai himself is the only character people would acceptBut only if he has a sword with a downB counter.
Fair enough but I don't think the argument is very good if you're throwing Kazamas into "the family" because you're further diluting the pool of main character candidates
Though for what it's worth as a casual Tekken observer Jin seemed like a better choice than Kazuya for Devil geners. He had the Devil side character first and had that side mode in Tekken 4 or 5 IIRC where Kazuya didn't, right? Also always associated him as closer to the "main Tekken guy"
