Who's left to add to Smash?(As DLC or Smash5 newcomer) Some Japanese fans have ideas.

I think Lucas coming back as DLC is very likely, the moveset already exists. I honestly wouldn't mind if all we get for DLC is stuff cut from previous Smash games.
I mentioned the potential problem in my previous post. With Lucas gone, every single Smash 4 character has had one of their games localized in the West. They may keep Lucas out to maintain that for the sake of marketability. And even if he was in Brawl, they'd have to still remake Lucas from scratch with the exception of the PK Freeze model.
 
I just want Wolf back.



Why does Japan hate Mother 3? I thought it was pretty popular over there.

Probably not hate hate, tho Some people on forums probably do, but it isnt as liked as mother 1 and 2, the thing is with the mother series mother 3 is the least liked in japan, but mother 1 is the fan favorite, in the west, mother 3 pulls ahead alot for most loved, but mother 1 is not nearly as liked as 2 and 3.
 
Pretty much what I wrote.

Well this isn't my list, this is just the list that the people in the poll made up. :v If it was my list...

Paper Mario
Captain Toad
Dixie Kong
Ashley
Squirtle
Ivysaur
Tingle
Isabelle
Wolf
Lucas
King Hippo
Andy (Advance Wars)
Inkling (Splatoon)
Tap Girl (Rhythm Heaven)
Isaac (Golden Sun)
Ice Climbers
 
*Ctrl+F 'Adol'*
Maybe I missed it but how come I'm the only one who wants to see Adol vs. Link?

I think the problem with that is Falcom's seeming total lack of interest in Nintendo consoles since the Famicom. Or maybe that's the perfect reason for Nintendo to do it? Though I don't really see the relationship changing much even if they did...

I dont see that as much of a reason to keep him out at all, sakurai doesnt add the majority of these characters in for marketability, especially when he gets most of his feedback from japan. I dont know how us not getting mother 3 would keep this from happening.

But every character did see a Western release for one of their games (Marth included thanks to the DS Shadow Dragon remake). On top of that...

- Palutena was asked for abroad
- Same for Pac-Man & Mega Man
- Little Mac was a Western request

The only Japan-specific request as far as I recall was Dark Pit, he was apparently insanely easy to add.

Im still not seeing how this keeps lucas out, lucas was literally in the last game, which also means he already has a model and even moveset, he would be incredibly easy to put in.
 
Given that the only game Nintendo got from the MGS series was a half-assed MGS3 port, I can see why he's gone. Konami isn't particularly playing ball with Nintendo as of late.

Technically 3 of the series best games have been on Nintendo systems though.

Twin Snakes(Exclusive remake of the best game in the Solid series, amazing quality besides the weird OTP cutscene changes)

Ghost Babel

MGS3(Bad port but still one of the best games ever made)

Every single veteran was remade from scratch for Smash 4. So aside from moveset planning, he'd take about as much effort as any other newcomer.
 
Judging by Spainkiller's source, Dixie is probably first in line.

From what I've heard, he's been reliable before. But yeah, pretty much.


But did you realized that he might be wrong about Ridley and how he supposedly had moving model on 3DS. I'm not saying that he's not reliable but I think we should take his rumor with grain of salts.

I would be perfectly fine with Dixie Kong and Chorus Kids but I'm not going to put too much stocks on him right now.

Its entirely possible that they had a moving model of ridley, when testing and debugging the game this stuff is done all the time and was probably decided later that he wouldnt work.
 
Was Spainkiller's report authenticated?
I remember a few odd members here and there vouching for both him and his source at NoE, though much like the Gematsu leak it could've been operating on some really, *really* outdated information given the Ridley situation rather than having anything to do with upcoming DLC.

Still seems likely if they have DLC newcomers they'd go off partially completed characters first than completely new ones like a Splatoons rep.

My impression from that IGN Sakurai email is that Ridley was 'experimented' with in-engine in a similar fashion to Chrom early on in development. Totally feasible somebody saw them in-game during the early pre-alpha stages yet they were out of the running by E3 2013.

In theory it would explain why Ridley is so involved in Pyrosphere, as if he was playable at one point but was removed when Sakurai couldn't get him to not look weird.

Plus Ridley having a KO, launched and lying on the ground animation like every other playable Smash character that effectively do nothing for his role as a boss while Metal Face and Yellow Devil don't is a bit suspicious.

I don't think the 3DS is the only reason why his role was reconsidered though, Sakurai seemed a bit too adamant in that email response for it to seem like a late design decision due to time and hardware concessions. Doesn't stop him or a new director having a change of opinion in the next game though.
 
Ice Climbers.

I also want Squirtle and Ivysaur back, or at least their unique movesets/fighting styles transferred to some new characters. Squirtle especially was a ton of fun to play as.

I remember King K. Rool also topping the most wanted list right after Brawl came out. He has so much potential in the game!

If they'd to transformations again, we could have King, Pirate and Scientist Rool.
 
Y'know, a Young Link that was totally focused on mask powers would be pretty cool

But then Sakurai is against transformation characters now
 
For a newcomer, I think we need something artistically different and plays interesting.

With the super fx chip graphical look for the model! :
 
B-but nobody cares about K.Rool and Ridley in Japan! Sakurai's going to put Takamaru in to cater to Japan! That's what SmashGAF taught me.
I knew it was bullshit.
 
Ugh, King K Rool?

It's like Rare couldn't think of a nemesis for DK and just flipped on the DiC Mario Cartoon. Green Bowser who just changes his costume and slightly changes his name to match said costume.
 
i don't give a crap about the odds, i want Daisy in the game (no more alt BS)

i've been waiting since Melee (that was the best chance looking back due to that game having the most clones).
