Fused King Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Looks sublime! Who else could fit amongst them? I would love to see a Castlevania representative, would fit nicely in terms of style with the Fire Emblem characters.
markderoos Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Looks sublime! Who else could fit amongst them? I would love to see a Castlevania representative, would fit nicely in terms of style with the Fire Emblem characters. Stylewise, I would say Pacman and Bomberman. Crash Bandicoot, Spyro and Rayman would also fit in. Personally I wouldn't want any of them, because then it wouldn't feel Nintendo enough anymore... Waluigi, Toad or Birdo would be cool, but would create a Mario Universe overkill maybe...
Cube Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Stylewise, I would say Pacman and Bomberman.Crash Bandicoot, Spyro and Rayman would also fit in. I think it would be hilarious if Nintendo got permission to use Crash.
Serebii Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I don't really want any more third party characters. The thing about Sonic and this version of Mega Man is that they fit in. You look at them and you look at them in Smash, and it just meshes perfectly. Others like Castlevania characters, Snake etc. just don't fit into the game in my view.
markderoos Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I think it would be hilarious if Nintendo got permission to use Crash. Yeah, him and Master Chief, right?
-Dem0- Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Even though he was my favourite character I also agree that Snake didn't fit, and I doubt that he would return in the next game. Mega Man on the other hand has a long history with Nintendo and the design that they chose for him in this game represents that. He looks amazing. Sonic too has been appearing on Nintendo platforms for years, Hell he's practically part of the family now!
Cube Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Yeah, him and Master Chief, right? Crash is Activision, not Sony. Which is why he wasn't in Sony Smash Bros (and why it would be funny).
markderoos Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Crash is Activision, not Sony. Which is why he wasn't in Sony Smash Bros (and why it would be funny). Aw yeah, forgot about that! (I'm such a Nintendo fanboy sometimes )
Fused King Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) I don't really want any more third party characters. The thing about Sonic and this version of Mega Man is that they fit in. You look at them and you look at them in Smash, and it just meshes perfectly. Others like Castlevania characters, Snake etc. just don't fit into the game in my view. I look at this differently. If you look at the Brawl roster (excluding Snake for your sake) you're still looking at an effort by Sakurai and his team to make less blendable characters blend in to a more uniform and colourful NINTENDO style. This can obviously only go so far, because some characters are clearly well proportioned and have a more realistic undertone to them than others. This is exactly the beauty of Smash to me, just bring all sorts of characters into the mix, but give 'em a hint of that Sakurai and Co. magic to make them fit in just a tad. Like I said, Simon Belmont could just as well have been a Fire Emblem character. Heck, Simon has had so many looks that they could mix styles (like they did with Captain Falcon) in order to make him fit in a little. (I doubt he'll get in though) So, to sum up, Smash has always been a clash of artstyles with minor changes to them to make them match a little, but of course (Zero Suit) Samus is not in the same league as Pikachu. But that's what I like so much about this franchise: getting characters out of their comfort-zone and letting them interact with one another. I mean, just look at this: Characters that don't really match eachother in terms of artstyle are bonding So dissapointed stuff like this isn't coming back because Sakurai doesn't understand the fact that people have something called restraint. So we can talk about what characters match with eachother when taking artstyle into account (and this is where I think 3D Rayman and Bomberman would be a prefect fit amongst some of NINTENDO's greatest), but let's not discard the fact that more realistic looking characters could add something to Smash, for in fact they already have. I must admit though, Solid Snake was probably the only character who came from a franchise which was going for realism, and thus I can understand that he felt somewhat off. Throwing Gabriel Belmont from Lords of Shadows into Smash withouth altering him drastically would surely evoke the same reaction. ---- One more thing on the topic of 3rd party characters in Smash: MOAR PLEASE Of course the franchise is about NINTENDO and its history, but I'd say a good handful wouldn't hurt. Ironically enough though, because it is about NINTENDO and its history, obviously little 3rd party characters could be included In spite of recent events, I'd say that certainly Rayman and Professor Layton should make the cut!

-Dem0- Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Sounds like they slightly changed the animation for his gun, unless I'm reading too much into it. "Pic of the day. Here's a close-up snapshot of Fox McCloud's Blaster. It can open up."
-Dem0- Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 If the Pokemon trainer is going to return, then I think the best time for this to happen would be around the X & Y release. Make it happen, Ninty.
Josh64 Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 I think there's enough 3rd party characters with those two, but I can't help but think Pacman might make an appearance. NAMCO are gonna push Pacman hard (apparently) with the release of his new game (that bland platformer) and I swear they said something about a cartoon or series. With Namco co-developing I can only imagine they'd want to include him.
Hogge Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 I think it would be hilarious if Nintendo got permission to use Crash. Crash hasn't actually been owned by Sony or Naughty Dog since 2000. All Crash games since then have been multi-platform. Now he's owned by Activision, so I don't see anything wrong with doing so. When it comes to third party characters, let me reiterate: Commander Shepard (Fem and Male)
Fused King Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 When it comes to third party characters, let me reiterate: Commander Shepard (Fem and Male) In what world would this make sense? In whay way does this character have any affinity with NINTENDO whatsoever? (que ME3 WiiU edition failure )
The Peeps Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Crash hasn't actually been owned by Sony or Naughty Dog since 2000. All Crash games since then have been multi-platform. Now he's owned by Activision, so I don't see anything wrong with doing so. When it comes to third party characters, let me reiterate: Commander Shepard (Fem and Male) It's because Sony couldn't get Crash for their version of smash bros, so it'd be a funny in a sticking it to the competition kind of way.

Dcubed Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Samus' missiles even more useless than ever before confirmed!
Diageo Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Her missiles were not useless before. They pissed the fuck out of people.
