It's a mix of Tarot and Card Captor Sakura.

The order of the cards is going by the Character Select Screen order, with the ones after The Avatar (which would be Miis) being characters from past games and bosses.

The Gigantic is missing however. Though apparently he has other plans for the regular bosses.

I wonder who's going to be between Master Fortress and the Hands though. I'm guessing Tabuu is going to be The Hanged Man because it seems to make the most sense.

Apparently Metal Mario is The Hanged Man. Not quite sure of that logic, but I'm not an expert on Tarot cards.

Metal Mario's weight would just snap the noose.

Yeah I'm guessing Metal Mario is the filler spot

From what I've understod, after the Miis it's...

  • The Sword: Roy
  • The Spark: Pichu
  • The Wheel of Fortune: Pokémon Trainer
  • The Pirate: Wolf
  • The Illusion: Snake
  • The Twins: Ice Climbers
  • The Devil: Giga Bowser
  • The Fortress: Master Fortress
  • The Hermit: Tabuu
  • The Hanged Man: Metal Mario

That's what I figured, though I thought Tabuu would be Hanged Man and wasn't sure what Hermit would be.

I rolled my eyes at The Lovers though.

Anyway, someone should lend Robin a hand.

The Robins as the Lovers arcana made little sense to me too.

Then again, Fire Emblem Awakening has a lot of matchmaking going on, heavily influenced by the player, from what I heard.

I still need to get into this series...

The Lovers is a card that refers less to romance and more to a fork in the metaphorical road- The oldest imagery involves a man having to choose between a young blonde woman and an older dark-haired woman.

It's actually somewhat appropriate for Robin, albeit perhaps unintentionally so.

I sure said that!

Yeah, I know tarot motifs aren't super literal about the naming theme, but you can't deny that they still invoke some responses related to the word.

Death is change yadda yadda yadda. Death is the end of a thing, the end of a thing is the beginning of something new. Usually though everyone assumes someones going to die. Could be a Heroic Sacrifice to change the world or just slaughtering the Big Bad.

Buuuuut anyhow. Neat art though.

Yeah, if you want a card for catastrophe, go with the Tower.

I just read about all these gaming companies and indie developers pushing for their character to be in Smash. Is it considered a high honor to have one of your characters be chosen to star in Smash?

Smash is very good exposure.

I doubt the U.S would even get Xenoblade Chronicles if it weren't for Shulk in Smash.

[up]No, the US got the Wii version of Xenoblade Chronicles. It was a Game Stop exclusive in 2012.

You're thinking about Fire Emblem.

Now I'm trying to figure out how to thematically put all Smash characters in an actual Tarot deck. Thanks art.

You know, my biggest regret is seeing a Xenoblade Chronicles and Metroid Prime Trilogy in the same Gamestop, and passing it up.

Is this a Jo Jo reference?

That said, there are a certain few games that still haven't come out even after being featured in Smash Bros. Mother 3 and quite a few Fire Emblem games come to mind.

Meh, even taking Card Captor Sakura into account there's still a good deal of made-up cards in there. Disappointed.

And calling it a "high honor" might be a bit of a stretch, but Smash has gained such a massive reputation over the years.

It is pretty amazing that Wayforward would make an actual campaign poster thing for Shantae and seem like they're dead serious about at least giving it a shot.

Of course, I assume some others are just doing it for fun, but who knows, we could be playing as Shovel Knight in a year.

I almost want to start a thread where we make up Smash movesets for characters that are not in Smash. Yet.

Actually, I'll do just that.
