I think people are too harsh when they say they don't want third party fighters, some of them are geniunely cool and would do well in Brawl. Besides you just know brawl is going to be awesome no matter who's in it!

Personally I'd like to see Bomberman, Geno and Mallow in brawl (wern't Square 2nd party to Nintendo when they made the mario rpg? You've got a loophole there!)

Yeesh, how do you figure that this is in order of likelihood? There's no telling what's going to happen, or even IF there will be more third party characters. That, and you've got some pretty far fetched options pretty high on your probability list. Forgive me, but.... no...

A decent list. Cloud however has absolutely no chance in hell. I love final fantasy and ff7 is probably my favorite game of all time but he has no **** business doing in a smash game. Neither do a lot of characters that people keep mentioning. Nintendo wants this game to be unique. By adding these big names (master chief, Cloud) the game would lose its originality. The purpose of smash bros is to have IMPORTANT characters from Nintendo series battle it out. The addition of Sonic is extremely important because if you know anything about video games, Mario and Sonic were the top of the video game franchises. People would pay and enjoy playing with these characters. Solid Snake IMO, is here to draw in older gamers. Lastly, I think it would make the most sense to add Tails and MegaMan as the final two 3rd party characters simply because, Tails would be the Luigi counterpart and MegaMan is extremely popular and would be completely unique.
QFT. Tails could be very unique, too.

Believe it or not, Sakurai actually WANTS to add James Bond to the game...or at least was interested in adding him...

They can get the rights in Japan...But not practically anywhere else...

Wha?! When did he say this?!
It started in Melee and I think that's why he's in both polls...

or maybe in both polls...I forgot who's on the Brawl Polll



That's why items from James Bond are in Melee though

How come this random noob gets to decide the top 20 most likely third party characters?

HAHAHAHAHA.

Cloud, number seven? Fanboyism at its best.

Simon´s chances are much better than you think they are.

Well technically Cloud did appear on the GBA...


He still has no chance...But he at least fulfills that prerequisite

Shouldn't Bonk be on that list?

Also, Bungie is SECOND party now. Not third.

as far away from you as possible
May I point out 1 thing?

#31-40: Sakurai starts by saying there wont be any manga characters. Then he begins talking about other companies characters to appear in the game. Among other things, Sakurai says that the character MUST have appeared on a Nintendo platform before. And to literally translate the last sentence (keep in mind this is in reference to the characters from other companies): "Anyways, at most we'll add another 1-2 characters [after Snake], maybe?"

Sakurai said it as a question, so it could still change. But now we at least have a ballpark of how many non-Nintendo chars will be added.
Is this where people get the whole "sakurai said no more than 3 characters definately" thing from? cause it's not definate if that's where they're getting it from. Look at the last 2 sentences in the quote. especially the "so it could still change" part. That means it could change. If sakurai said it somewhere else then I'm sorry, but I've seen people saying "3 third parties" a lot and I have yet to see where it has been said as a definate.
