K.Rool and Goemon are surprising requests. I think Goemon would be an excellent inclusion though, he has almost as much of a legacy on Nintendo consoles as Megaman does (and has too been forgotten about by its creator) K.Rool surprises me because I didn't think Japan cared much for the characters in the Donkey Kong Country games, even though from what I understand the "Super Donkey Kong" series did exceedingly well there. I'd want him in the game for sure.

Pretty much what I wrote.

I hate the excuse that Lucas wouldn't come back because he wasn't in a game in the West. Europe only just got Earthbound and yet Ness has been in the last three Smash Bros. games prior to the Wii U/3DS.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Maybe by Zelda, they want Toon Zelda? I'd like Toon Zelda

Toon Ganondorf would be cool too. A Ganondorf that isn't a Captain Falcon clone and is actually true to the character.

 

[Malvingt2]

gimme Fiora, Melia and Riki


oh and DAISY U DICKS

Yeah. They can make Daisy work. Japan remember her and I am happy.

 

[Converse]

Crash Bandicoot seems an odd choice. I know he's actually had a fair share of games on Nintendo consoles, but I feel that Street Fighter, Monster Hunter, Castlevania, Bomberman or even Bayonetta reps would be a lot more relevant (the latter just due to Bayo's current Wii U association) to Nintendo history, of which Smash is sort of a celebration. Then again, I guess Pac-Man was never Nintendo-centric, as "right" as he feels among the roster.

Anyway, I'm mostly saddened by the lack of demand for Wonderful 101 reps. I really wanted those characters to work as part Ninty's stable.

 

[QuixoticNeutral]

My top three requests going into SSB4—Wonder-Red, Paper Mario, Andy (or anyone from Advance Wars, but he is the most natural pick)—are all still unaccounted for, and my demands haven't changed.

 

[Beaniedude]

All I want is Professor Layton and some Rhythm Heaven representation.

Actually, I don't really need them. I'm happy with what we already have but if they were to suddenly drop in I would be so happy.

 

[hypotc]

I would actually love to see Raichu at some point. At the least as a skin for Pikachu. Probably never gonna happen though.

 

[akachan ningen]

They should put in that Doki Doki Panic guy.

Yeah him or wart

 

[Bluth54]

If Nintendo adds King K.Rool as a DLC character they would probably only release him in Japan and Europe like the Donkey Kong Country SNES trilogy for the Wii U.

 

[Bulbasaur]

Splatoon Squidling or bust.

And Takumaru should have been in it already.

 

[Hero Prinny]

I know its another heavyweight villian but bruh, it would be dope if we got Wart. Frogs are neat in a gross kind of way. Also the custom robo guy couldve just taken Snake's movesEt. Idk why they didnt include him, snake'ss moves were so much fun

 

[cacildo]

Saudades

 

[Floex]

Need some more 3DS franchises

Harmoknight
Pullbox/crashmo


Of course we need Captain Rainbow too.

 

[SDBurton]

oh and DAISY U DICKS

This!

 

[Hypemaster]

I'm shocked K. Rool is still so highly requested. Dixie is much more deserved if you ask me.

Need more villain reps.

 

[Korosenai]

I want them to replace toon/young link with tingle. No reason to have two of the same character, and tingle could be pretty unique.

 

[The12thGripper]

I'm happy to see Lucas at the #1 position.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I really wanna see Geno/Mallow in Smash Bros.

 

[AzureTranquility95]

I had no clue they cut Lucas =/

They didn't. They cut Ness. To carry on his legacy, Lucas dyed his hair black,a nd started weraing Ness' clothes. The reason for the change in stripe patterns is because Lucas' Ness shirt is an imperfect replication. To keep up the illusion, Lucas also dopted Ness' moveset and abandoned his own.

(Also see: Pichu from Melee to Brawl)

 

[Azure J]

Kinda

Spoiler

very

surprised at that Takamaru placing given all the JPN net rage that went down on Miiverse on Murasame Monday.

I'm almost totally out of the "Smash character desire game" after 4 though. Takamaru, Lip, Wonderful Ones and Ray MKII along with the return of Ice Climbers, Lucas, Wolf & Snake and I'm good. If someone felt like being generous, add Viridi/Medusa. If we're talking Smash 5, add Inklings.

 

[Toad.T]

... huh?

I was extremely tired when I finished the OP. It was about 2am when I finished typing it, so sorry for errors and a lack of explanation of who Goemon and other fighters are.

 

[Puflwiz]

I was really hoping that Wonder Red was gonna make it into the game. Still mad he isn't. Weird how Viewtiful Joe made that list and not Red

 

[Mr-Joker]

I was really hoping that Wonder Red was gonna make it into the game. Still mad he isn't. Weird how Viewtiful Joe made that list and not Red

Same, though I wouldn't mind Viewtiful Joe being in the game.

 

[JCX]

Yeah, sparing new franchises, Nintendo is gonna have to go deep in their bench for new characters. My Hopes:

Previously Cut Returnees
Ice Climbers
Roy

Newcomers
Paper Mario
Issac (Golden Sun)
Andy (Advance Wars)
Ray MK 1 (Custom Robo)
Inkling (Splatoon)
Dixie Kong

Third Party Guests
Goemon (Mystical Ninja) - already has great final smash
Agnes/Magnolia (Bravely Series)

 

[Varjet]

I was really hoping that Wonder Red was gonna make it into the game. Still mad he isn't. Weird how Viewtiful Joe made that list and not Red

Well, for one those two aren't even in the same category. Also, The Wonderful 101 sold like ten copies in Japan.

But Wonder-Red's awesome nonetheless.

 

[Platy]

My choices would be :

First Party :

A Hanafuda Deck, celebrating the start of nintendo in the "gaming" bussiness.

Third Party :

The L tetrimino to complete the gaming god tier characters.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

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'd legit be excited for and buy Pichu DLC.

Imagine if 4 of Pichu's alts were Plusle/Minun, that'd be sweet.

I would actually love to see Raichu at some point. At the least as a skin for Pikachu. Probably never gonna happen though.

It was going to happen, but they picked Pichu instead. If they had picked Raichu, he'd still be in the series since he's more popular than Pichu and wouldn't be a joke :/

 

[Finale Fireworker]

I'm actually happy that Nintendo is running out of new franchises to include, because I really love the idea of secondary characters helping fill out the roster.

Growing up playing 64 and Melee, the biggest appeal of Smash was playing as characters you do not get to play as otherwise. Playing as BOWSER? As ZELDA or GANONDORF? And That was huge to me, because these characters are generally placed in very strict roles within their main games and they are not the characters you get to play as.

As we close out with Smash 4, I find myself wishing there were more characters like that. But as we really drain the major franchises for reps, what we are left with are supporting cast members, and that excites me. Who that is usually delegated to the sidelines might get a chance to shine as an individual?

That's why I want characters like Wolf back, and want to see newcomers like Tingle and Waluigi. They're the guys who don't get their own opportunities usually get an opportunity, and at this point I would love them to have it.

That's why I was happy to see Dark Pit, too.

 

[Vazra]

Princess Katia from Lost Kingdoms

Guillo from Baten Kaitos Origins

 

[Drago]

Lucas and Wolf are my biggst DLC requests. Loved them in Brawl and it gutted me that they were cut. Especially Lucas, not only because he was one of my favorite characters to play as, but also since his cut led to a complete and total lack of any Mother 3 content in the new games save for some Brawl holdover content.

and hah, even Japan doesn't give a shit about Chibi-Robo.

 

[DVG]

I think the first few newcomers there could make for really interesting characters. K rool I've always wanted to see in smash, Krystal could have some unique moves with the staff. Paper Mario while I think would be strange in smash could also have some nice paper moves. Ray Mk ii would probably be the most interesting though

 

[L Thammy]

Why is Ridley so high?

 

[Glass Rebel]

K. Rool? I thought Japan was better than this.

 

[Capra]

I just want my Wolf back.

Spoiler

Though ideally he'd work more like he does in Project M.

 

[DarkKyo]

IMO the game is missing two third-party characters. Bomberman and a character from Square's past on Nintendo. Chrono, Sora, Marche, Final Fantasy Onion Knight, anyone!!

 

[Bass260]

People probably won't like this but a good and fitting 3rd party inclusion would be a character from Skylanders. Probably Eruptor. Popular on Nintendo platforms and helps solidify the brand with Nintendo.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

It's nice to see that Japan still has good taste, all things considered. I'm sure GAF would gush over K. Rool if he was an anime girl with big tits. Yes, I'm fully aware that GAF is not a person. But neither is Japan, and yet people here think it's okay to generalize an entire country because these poll results challenge their twisted notion that Japanese people only care about Pokémon and Fire Emblem. Anybody who dismisses K. Rool is a mere Bowser clone is lying to themselves. Trivializing the opposition is a common rhetorical technique, especially on a forum like GAF. Please explain why K. Rool is a bad character without using the word "ugly". Please explain why K. Rool is a Bowser clone without mentioning his size. The ony thing holding him back is relevancy, and considering that Michael Kelbaugh, the CEO of Retro Studios, is currently following the Kremling Kampaign on Twitter, I'd say that the odds of K. Rool appearing in another Donkey Kong game are looking favorable.

For reasons why K. Rool would be a good choice, I recommend taking a look at this thread:

[MillionVolts]

Mainly I just want Lucas and Wolf back (Wolf especially). I see no reason at all to not bring them back as DLC, but with Sakurai being Sakurai, I have a feeling even the chances of that are low.

I'd also like Dixie Kong, but I'm not getting my hopes up one bit, and I'm not sure how much I'd enjoy her being in the game anyway since I kinda dislike how DK and Diddy have been portrayed in this series.

 

[Puflwiz]

Well, for one those two aren't even in the same category. Also, The Wonderful 101 sold like ten copies in Japan.

But Wonder-Red's awesome nonetheless.

Yeah but I was referring to the fact that The Wonderful 101 is a Nintendo owned IP.

Spoiler

Also why is Tables Turn not a song in Smash.

 

[Hattori]

 

[NotLiquid]

They were totally gonna save it for a TW101 stage

;__;

 

[TheCobraTwister]

 

[Gonzo The Great]

This is brilliant.

 

[NEO0MJ]

This will probably boost her odds. I'm pretty disapointed they went through the trouble of designing alt. costumes for some character who even went on to become their own character but not alt. Daisy costume for Peach.

 

[K.Sabot]

coinciding with Mother 3 VC release in NA.

 

[Wreck-It Ralph]

My most wanted newcomer since Sakurai's made it clear that he's never going to include Ridley:

She'd give Metroid a second representative (an actual second representative, not just "Samus again, but wearing something different"), she'd fill the Metroid villain role, and she'd represent the Prime trilogy nicely.

Her chances are slim, but better than Ridley at this point. And she did make it in as an assist this time around.

 

[The_White_Rose]

I want Mallo from Pushmo and Phoenix Wright the most.

 

[Puruzi]

Shantae, Isabelle, and Ashley are all I want.

K Rool is gross.

 

[jackissocool]

Waluigi is the most important addition by a huge margin.

It'll be crazy in a good way if this actually comes true.

I would be

so

FUCKING

ANGRY

I get the sense that a number of the assist trophies were considered to be playable characters. Little Mac made the transition, of course. Sakurai also pointed out how Saki looked like he could be a playable character. Most Assist Trophies are just simple things, but there are a few like Dark Samus that have a bunch of moves and some can be knocked out. They're almost like little boss fights.
