Admittedly, I wasn't that crazy about Persona 5, but for some reason this got me really excited. Not only was it an unlikely candidate from a game or series that barely has any relevance to Nintendo (besides those weird 3DS games), but it was picked by the folks at Nintendo. I was totally expecting safe, albeit kinda boring 1st party picks. Seeing how Joker is just the 1st of 5, that goes to show almost anything's possible for newcomers in Smash. Gets me pretty excited for what the other 4 can be. Smash is feeling more a celebration of video games in general, and not just for Nintendo, which I find cool. Still hoping Rex with Pyra and Mythra will make it as one of the remaining 4 though.

This very much. I love that Smash is becoming more than just Nintendo. A celebration of video games is what Smash should be: childhood discussions of Mario vs Sonic given life. Sm4sh allowed Link and Cloud to finally cross swords.
