Super Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS Thread 2: Where Pilotwings is apparently Minecraft

So there's Metal Gear, Castlevania, PES and... YuGiOh which isn't exactly a game franchise.

It's either Metal Gear again or Castlevania for Smash.
 
Current relevancy is not as important as overall relevancy to Nintendo consoles. Belmont would be a decent choice.
 
Contra, Gradius, Goemon, Silent Hill

ZOE

They're all dead to the company outside of ports of older games. Unless Kojima is interested in doing something with the franchises.

Yes cause Ice Climbers, Dr. Mario, Pit, and ROB were super relevant on Nintendo consoles for Melee/Brawl.
 
I don't want Snake out. His character and series blends perfectly with Super Smash Bros.

Anyways, I'd accept Snake's removal if they replace him with another "Konami" character...Bomberman! :D

Last picture is mine.
I love Bomberman.

Yesssss, I've been wanting Bomberman for ages! He would make for another great addition.

Good song. Although I disagree with many design choices for Brawl's gameplay, one thing I think most fans can agree on is the very diverse and satisfying soundtracks packed into that game.
 
At no point has Sakurai ever stated that third party characters must be relevant to Nintendo. Just that they have to have appeared on a Nintendo console at some point.

I am paraphrasing things I have read from Sakurai during Brawl's development, I may be overstating things, but I don't think it is an outlandish statement. So far all of the third party characters included in Smash games are very relevant to Nintendo consoles, expect for Snake, and his inclusion wasn't due to internet fan polls or stemming from a solid working relationship between two companies.

This is extrapolation on nothing. At no point has Sakurai stated that the characters should be important to Nintendo or anything like that. This is something the fanbase has basically made up from nothing after the fact.
 
Who gives a shit anyway; this isn't a Dr. Mario or Young Link scenario where it's a character blatantly put in at the last minute to pad the game's roster out. It was a major character addition Nintendo and Konami hyped to hell and back from day one about being in the last game who a lot of people really enjoyed being in the game. Removing him solely due to an effort to maintain a game as crazy as Smash's sense of 'historical relevance' to Nintendo after he's already an established part of the franchise is ridiculous and selfish to the majority.

Plus Snake leaving isn't going to magically make an Advance Wars character show up either. It's a lose-lose situation if he goes.

Even if it is an exaggeration it isn't like it is completely unfounded. Why else would Sakurai even bother with the Nintendo console rule if he didn't think relevancy was important to some degree?

What game besides Twin Snakes? One of those NES ones?

A rabbit will pull Sami out of a hat to replace Snake.

because you'd have a shit ton of dumb kids asking for Master Chief or Cloud Strife or Sora or any number of anime/cartoon characters

Yep. That really put a stop to that.
 
Sucks Meowth has about no chance of getting in Smash 4. Considering he's been around as long as Pikachu and still shows up in the anime.

What's with you and Snake? Did he steal your lunch money or something?
 
I heard a leak informations in chatroom today. I know I totally broke my promise with someone.

45 characters
34 characters are coming back (excluded Snake and Ike)
Newcomers: Villager, Megaman, WFT, Shulk, Isaac, Sylveon, Chrom, Palutena, Demise, Mega Mewtwo, Mii
Little Mac disconfirmed and being AT again.
Xenoblade Stage, Rhyme Heaven Stage Confirmed

One hour later, he decided to come out and told us that he's fake. I just knew that he was fake but it was so much fun to listening and questioning the fake leaker.

Aww I was this close to posting: lol qq moe :3
 
Tip: if you're going to lie about Smash Bros., don't say Sylveon and Demise will be playable characters.
Or Isaac!
 
I wonder when we'll get our real full roster leak. Roughly when was Brawls leaked before release?

Also what are you guys expecting for a release date? I'm betting next Christmas. Or even earlier. As long as there are no last minute major roster additions I think things will be complete in less than a year and a half.

Sept 21 2014 or Sept 23 2014
 
sylveon is basically all but confirmed to be a pokeball pokemon, you know what? why has there been no evee/lution in pokeballs in smash?

You're saying this like I actually believed it!

I was more concerned that he did it because of the whole QQ Moe meme since he's a lurker...

Turns out that wasn't the case and he picked it because he thinks Sylveon has a chance in. But... he knew about the meme anyways! AGH!

October 2007, during testing. There won't be any Smash Bros. leaks until the end of development. The only people who currently know anything about the game are the developers in Japan and the Treehouse translators in America, neither of whom are going to spoil anything about the game (for obvious reasons). Testers have no sentimental attachment to the work and are more likely to break a nondisclosure agreement.

But have nintendo's NDA became more stricter lately? I heard that their NDA would allow them to punish the people who broke NDA?
