Were bringing a full house of history with our next newcomer nomination:
Hanafuda Deck
Notable Appearences
Japan (1889)
Bio
Hanafuda are playing cards of Japanese origin that are used to play a number of games. The name literally translates as "flower cards. The name also refers to games played with those cards.In 1889, Fusajiro Yamauchi founded Nintendo Koppai for the purposes of producing and selling hand-crafted Hanafuda cards painted on mulberry tree bark. Though it took a while to catch on, soon the Yakuza began using Hanafuda cards in their gambling parlors, and card games became popular in Japan again.
Today, despite its focus on video games, Nintendo still produces the cards, including a special edition Mario themed set for Club Nintendo. This is mostly in recognition of its own company history, rather than specifically for the profit. In 2006, Nintendo published Clubhouse Games (42 All-Time Classics in the United Kingdom) for the Nintendo DS, which included Koi-koi.

Although it wouldn't work as a Melee style clone, she does have prehensile hair.

Shame that Chibi Robo didn't get in
Nope, none of them got banned in SmashGAF. All got banned due to their aggressive posts in other threads but it's not good place to talking about it here.
You just took it out of my mouth
Sailor chibi lol
What leak has been accurate?

So.. What kind of event match do you guys expect?
I mean, Melee at least had some very unique events, and I'm sure they will be back
So, can you describe one event you think that could be interesting/fun?
I will try one:
Character: Little Mac
Stage: Punch Out Ring
Objective: cause more than % damage to the sandbag before time runs out without launching the sandbag outside of the ring
(High Score: Highest damage caused)

Lol cards????
Someone did an analysis of it compared to other characters on pyrosphere and he isn't that much taller than Bowser.
That's nonsense as a newcomer, but would make a neat item or trophy.

Hanafuda Deck! HAHA! That really reminded me of some rumors that had playable Hanafuda long time ago, but it just stopped out of nowhere.
it would be interesting to see it as playable character.

I don't want it as a playable character. It's too out there for me.
I'm honestly shocked that none of Mr. G&W's or R.O.B's attacks use hanafuda cards. It seems like a no brainer to me.

Haha, for the record, I know how silly this suggestion is, but it made me laugh really hard. XD

Newcomers
The Wonderful Ones
You know me already by now. I've been vouching for a TW101 rep since the very start. It's simple really, Smash stands as a representation between the past, present and future of Nintendo, and when the Wii U was to provide new experiences, none of those were as high up the ladder as TW101 for me. To this day, they still treated this as their own baby, like a brand new IP, despite Platinum developing it. Who can blame them? The game started out as a Nintendo All-Star Crossover until Nintendo suggested they create brand new characters for a new franchise. And they fucking delivered. Not only is every single Wonderful One a character with their own distinguishable personality, they all come with their own abilities, and the world around them has an expansive story and lore to it. How can this not be considered "franchise" material, least of all Smash material when every character has their own set of moves and abilities?
But while people prefer to just say they want Wonder Red, I think that's underselling the point of TW101, and that point is teamwork, hence why I label it as "The Wonderful Ones". A tag team fighter unlike anything else, representing the characters highlighted in the image above. Much like the game they stem from, The Wonderful Ones would ideally play as a team. Three characters; Red, Blue and Green, move together as one actual unit (not being AI controlled like Ice Climbers) and mix-match attacks. Red has his short ranged but powerful fists, Blue has his long-range sword and Green attacks with projectiles (and since he's only followed by Red and Blue, two projectiles at most). And the final Smash? None other than the ultimate planetary defense mecha, Mother Platinum.
I'd love to see Wonderful ones, but I am having a really hard time thinking of a way to have something more than just Red to work. I think Wonder Red using his teamates's morphs for himself works quite well, or he can summon them for those attacks.
G&W and ROB are both representing specific hardware, so that'd be kind of weird.
If that "Yellow Kangaroo" rumor had any merit to it, though... that'd be pretty neat.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Did it... get more than 1 vote? That's amazing.
Hanafuda Deck
Sakurai could probably come up with a really interesting move set for a deck of cards. Would be a really cool out there character, if they ever made it in.
Actually have the Hanafuda Cards ever been mentioned in like a trophy or anything?

Seeing Bowser Jr.'s playstyle makes me really wish they chose Fawful to fill that role instead.
I can still hope for an AT.

I cannot fathom a single way that you could make a legitimate full moveset out of a fucking hanafuda deck.
Would be a cool assist trophy, though.
KOI KOI
On second thought, are there any specific characters printed on the face of the deck of cards? A character summoning and launching them forward out of the card face as attacks a la Zelda's Phantom would be pretty interesting.

That reminded me that RMS Gigantic is banned as well. I can't believe that I forget him being banned.
I swore that RMS is going to vote Steel Diver as playable character instead of deck of cards.

This definitely takes the cake for WTF pick. I don't know anything about the game, but depending on how it plays, it could work. I've thought, for example, that the Persona 4 protagonist could work in Smash with a tart card-centered moveset. This could be the same thing minus the person (which makes me wonder how they'd move around.) Still, it seems better suited for an AT than a playable character.
Well, my fellow member of The Order of Really Good Hair, I must say that leak is not convincing, but at least we'll know by tomorrow, since he says he'll post it tonight. I'm not holding my breath, though. The biggest reason being he says Louie is an Olimar alt instead of Alph, and I'm more inclined to believe the other rumor that has panned out thus far.

Shame that Chibi Robo didn't get in
Did I miss something when was Chibi Robo confirmed not playable? Or are we assuming the leak = final roster again?
Not that I think Chibi Robo will be in, but thats besides the point

If hanafuda cards could make it into Smash and be good.
I would question a lot about the future of smash. Since that moment couldn't be topped.

We're assuming leak = final roster. It's a fair assumption.
Maybe that's who sakurai was referring to in the picture of the day?
Sakurai said:
«In Classic mode, you can choose your next challenge on the route map. Looks like Master Hand is waiting at the end, but perhaps something might change if you raise the intensity...?!»
Crazy hand replaced by Master Hanafuda
OricWindstar

Oh really? Why?
The list forgot to include from the original link that Hades is the boss if you clear Classic on highest intensity and in the CSS, Shulk moves up a row and new clones go down to the left of the third-parties.
I would be totally okay with this even though mentioning that Isabelle would be an Assist Trophy that eventually turns into a Villager clone playable fighter is downright BS in the wake of Mario Kart 8 DLC. Plus, doing a Q&A? That's what fake leakers usually do to bait people and feed their egos.
And Isabelle for Smash? She's an adorable non-human dog character in a benevolent game. At least Villagers are human-ish and Pokemon fight to the faint. Still... I sense a dark passenger within her...

I know. He gave up so I gave him the avatar.
Each one of Mr. G&W's attacks is (rather ingeniously) taken directly from a Game & Watch game. I don't see where hanafuda fits into that concept.

Can't wait for the Shogi and Go reps. Would we also get some third parties like Chinese Checkers? The guy from Monopoly? Scrabble pieces?

Masked Man has two quotes, so probably also has at least 2 votes
Yeah, reeks of fake. I think he just tried to put some 'proof' on the table to have a quick moment in the spotlight, instead of being totally dismissed. Will probably also post as All Star and convenient forget the trip code or something.
The info itself sounds fishy too. Why would he know nothing about how entire characters play, but have so much info on new costumes? *shrug*

So what happens if Chibi Robo is the next newcomer announced?

No, you are not going to try to hide. You gotta to face it like a man.
I'd love Isabelle to be playable so bad. But I don't anticipate an AT becoming playable in the same game. I'll just be thankful for MK8 DLC.
RE: Hanafuda Deck: That'd be a cool newcomer, because it'd pave the way for another phase of Nintendo's history love hotels. I imagine a walking, talking house that sucks foes in Kirby-style, and when it spits them out, they're smoking a cigarette.

If Isabelle were a playable character, she wouldn't be an assist trophy...
If you're making a fake, why do something like that...
