Ayumi joins the Smash Bros. roster!
Here’s my fantasy scenario for Ayumi joining Smash Bros. (Please forgive any oddities, as I haven't actually played the game myself.)
She’d have a wild, varied moveset—swinging around her signature naginata, splashing coffee laced with sleeping pills, summoning her familiar Dis-kun, and more!
There’s actually a huge demand for Ayumi to join Smash Bros. overseas.
There are even dedicated fans creating their own high-quality videos that perfectly recreate the game's style (you can find them on YouTube).
I used to wonder why—since Famicom Tantei Club wasn't really well-known outside Japan until the Switch remake—but according to my overseas followers, the release of a figure sparked a surge in recognition and interest.
Since Sakurai-san is apparently a fan of the series too, maybe it could actually happen someday...?
