Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I seriously can't imagine a posh british accent speaking those lines
I pray to Ninty that if he ever comes back, they should just get lazy with his voice over and bring his Brawl clips, I mean they didn't have to record new stuff for Lucas despite Ness having new lines!
Aw yeeeahhh~
should I look up what a wonder bra is
...are we talking about the same gun kata with a plasma blade - laser machine gun using Saki here?

His bad british accent doesn't fit his savage move set either.

On top of that, it's pretty much inevitable that Nintendo's gonna have a trailer for that at E3, and Wolf's return to Smash as DLC would be the perfect companion for it.
And now that I think about it, Smash might as well be the only game series of all time where a single DLC character is big news worthy to show at E3. I don't think there's any game where a DLC of any kind, let alone a sole item, can be this popular haha.

This is the developer that gave Marth a moveset in the same game we are discussing. Saki is very similar to Marth, except he has a gun as well and can transform into an Evangelion.
I could go with "oh yeah his game didn't sell well" for an excuse. The moveset one is just lazy.
The only reason Ness had new lines is because his VA also does Kirby & JP Viridi.
So Saki isn't happening because Sakurai can't find enough moves for him. That kind of sucks...
At least Wonder-Red won't run into that problem. I know a lot of people want him to use the other Unite Morphs, but even his Fist alone is adequate.
E3 is going to be interesting.

Marth's moveset in Melee:
B - Charge sword
Side B - Slice with sword a bunch of times
Up B - Jump into the air with SWORD IN HAND
Down B - Counter
Every other attack - Sword slash
i mean seriously

I'd prefer a cleaner version of his Brawl design so he fits in with Fox and Falco.
I think this is very possible. It'd be so awesome.

Needed a Skitty on top of Wailord for a funny joke.
Now I'm curious as to how Japanese Viridi sounds
While I agree Saki would be awesome and that he was robbed in Brawl, Marth's moveset in the context of Melee was actually pretty novel.
If you think about it, the Chorus Kids (or any Rhythm Heaven character, for that matter) are actually the best possible newcomer to hold back as DLC, because the timing works perfectly in their favor. Assuming that Chorus Kids were planned for inclusion in the base game but had to be cut due to time constraints or whatever, comparing Chorus Kids to every other newcomer reveals something interesting. With the exception of Shulk with Xenoblade Chronicles 3D (which is only a port, not a new game), Chorus Kids/Rhythm Heaven is the only character/franchise to have a major new game release planned within the year after Smash Bros.'s release. If, during initial development, a newcomer had to be cut and possibly set aside to work on later and release as DLC, Chorus Kids make the most sense, because they have a new game coming out that their DLC could coincide with! Having that cross promotion would help both Smash Bros. and the new Rhythm Heaven game, and it's an even better opportunity for Rhythm Heaven outside Japan, because it's the perfect way to help boost the Rhythm Heaven franchise overseas! Plus, if the character had an interesting enough move set (which I'm sure a Rhythm Heaven character most certainly would!), there's no doubt that it will sell very well as DLC, even to people who aren't fans of Rhythm Heaven.
Judging from most female Japanese VA, it will probably make your ears bleed

Hmm, that's actually not bad
As it turns out, the Japanese script of Kid Icarus Uprising is full of racist humor. And it happens that the bus Boney was riding on that day was full of politically correct Japanese people...
Plus let's be honest, most would buy any DLC Smash character regardless. The competitive scene has to, so there's a ton of money right there.

I'm not hating on Marth. Lucina is one of my mains! Just pointing out the hypocrisy.
Okay, so Saki sucks. WHICH IS WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ISA JO
Normal and Aerial attacks - Punch and kicks, inspired on this fight from the game.
Smash Attacks - Rapid fire in different directions
B - Charge Shot, like he does in the original game when you charge your shots
Side B - Multi-Hit Lock-On Shot, which is Kachi's ability in the same game
Up B - Flight enabled. This would be limited, unlike the original game, and would stop you from using any other move
Down B - Slash Parry that reflects projectiles, like in the original game
Final Smash - THIS
It took me all of two minutes to think of this. C'MON SAKURAI
Very true. Still, the timing couldn't be better for Rhythm Heaven! Since the new game comes out in Japan this June, with a possible localization announcement at E3, I imagine we might get a Chorus Kids Smash Bros. DLC reveal trailer at E3 as well, perhaps alongside a Wolf trailer, like the Mewtwo/Lucas combo we just got in the last Direct.

I think the GameXplain boys were right about Banjo-Kazooie being a given if Rare stayed with Nintendo and it being probably impossible now because it's looking like Rare might drop a Banjo announcement at E3 this year.
I don't know why motherfuckers want Wolf back however. That's a generic ass anthropomorphic tough guy design and he was sort of ass compared to Fox and Falco.

He's a "villain" (more of an anti-hero/rival, I guess, but still), he played very uniquely from Fox and Falco, aside from similar specials (which are still more different than Falco's are from Fox's), he's relevant with the new Star Fox game coming out, and a lot of people like his character. Why not bring him back? It only makes sense!

There's no other humanoid in Smash that does what Wolf does. You're not likely to see Mario or Fox out there biting people and mauling them with their claws.
Wolf is basically a werewolf in Brawl. They could have went a very different direction with him (Fox 2.0, now with more power and less speed), but they managed to make him creative and fun to play.
Guys, one of the Ballot choices have been LEAKED!!!!

Amazing gameplay!
If we do get the Chorus Kids, my guess is October as the last non-ballot character(s), with Wolf coming in August (don't lie to yourself, he's coming).
As for Rhythm Heaven 3DS, I'm gonna say Summer 2016 in America on account of the lyrical songs that they need to translate & record in English.
Wow. Well, with how many votes this character was getting it was inevitable!

Yo fam, I want to see Paper Boy up in this shit. Give us more joke characters. We got R.O.B., Game & Watch, Wii Fit Trainer, and Duck Hunt and to round that shit out we need the homie Paper Boy!
Oh, I'm pretty sure we are getting Wolf, it's just a matter of when! I'm also pretty confident that we'll get the Rhythm Heaven character, too. I just wonder which one we'll get first, assuming we actually get both.
And I don't think it's going to take a full year to localize the new Rhythm Heaven game. A large part of the game is remade rhythm games from past Rhythm Heaven games, so rhythm games from Rhythm Heaven and Rhythm Heaven Fever are already localized. They only have to localize the new rhythm games, rhythm games from the original GBA game, and new remixes. Considering that Rhythm Heaven Fever only took about half a year to be localized (in North America, at least), I think it's totally realistic to expect a localized release of the new 3DS game by the end of this year.

Yeah, I really don't want to buy back Brawl characters. Why waste this chance to add characters on having people make Brawl again?
Hope they don't bring back more vets.

You guys are going to make me watch it, right? Dammit..
Nevermind.
But the amount of new stuff is equal to the other Rhythm Heaven games, so there's that to consider.
You realize that bringing back veterans is probably considerably easier than developing brand new characters, right? I wouldn't compare the two at all. If we get, say, four veterans as DLC, that does NOT mean that we could have gotten four newcomers instead with the same amount of development. It doesn't work like that.
Oh, really? I wasn't aware of that! I thought it was a bit less than in older games, but made up for with the fact that it's got a bunch of older games and new remixes involving the older games, too. Well, I suppose that's a good thing! Still, I think it's likely to release outside Japan within this year, considering Rhythm Heaven Fever's localization time.
Wolf will probably be the last veteran. On top of that, what's wrong with bringing loved veterans over to a better game? Sure, they still need to be remade from scratch, but they don't have to worry about planning.
You know Pichu will return in all of his glorious self-destructive manner!
I'm personally expecting that before Lucas goes on sale in June that they're going to have a season pass of sorts for Smash that is too good to pass up. Buy it at the start, get all the characters, stages, Mii costumes, etc. for something like $19.99.
