Brawl's age rating is higher than SSB4's, if either Snake or Jill would be included it would probably affect to the game's rating, also Snake only got in because of Kojima's request and Sakurai and Kojima being close friends. I doubt a character from M rated game would've got in otherwise.
What about Snake?
No, it would not. Snake was designed deliberately to avoid affecting the rating. He does not use firearms or knife - granted these are key elements of a potential Resident Evil character, but that doesn't change the fact "they're from an M rated game" is not a compelling argument, like, at all.
Okay, I'll remove it then.
and ) in the game. I not really fond of having a third. and ) in the game.
Aside from having very low demand in general, people throwing around the Majora's Mask transformations should understand that it's not a feasible idea on the 3DS. Copying Young Link as is from Melee is a bad idea as he would barely stand out among Link and Toon Link, sharing aesthetic similarities to adult Link while being similar in size to Toon Link (unlike
And I hardly ever used him in Melee, so I don't want him back.
Umm...
Thanks! I edited my prediction accordingly.
Young as he is is chance 10% + Young Link w an updated moveset as Masked Link which makes 11%...Umm...
Don't you mean that altogether, Young Link has a 1% chance, not 11%?
Thanks! I edited my prediction accordingly.
I also expected low ratings in general... But look, some people still put high score... Still the 0s and 1s are more now.
If he gets differentiated a bit like Roy and takes a few new moves based on MM3D, then yeah, Zelda and veterans fans have a reason to get excited and not be disappointed despite him being a clone of Link.
I think you're trying too hard here. His relevancy may not have netted him much content in the base game, but it doesn't mean more content from the game can happen. There's DLC to make up for that if he wanted to net more ideas from MM3D such as getting Young Link or Termina Bay back. The Majora's Mask Mii costume is small example of this, and we might get more from this game soon as more DLC packs are announced. It's just like how there was Splatoon content in Smash despite the relevancy being too late for the base game. This is only the beginning of Smash DLC, and there's still we haven't known much of how pre-ballot DLC will generally work.
I'd argue that this stage was brought back because of the high demand for the stage, just like Dreamland. Ocarina of Time was likely not the main reason this stage was added as DLC.
They would give him the special treatment because they have the time to do so, there were a good amount of moveset aesthetic changes for some of the veterans such as Pit, Olimar, Wario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Samus, King Dedede. If he can differentiate their movesets a bit during the Smash 4 base game, then he can certainly do so for Young Link, despite him not being planned previously in Brawl. Roy may have had a planned moveset in Brawl, but it doesn't mean Sakurai can't plan a somewhat changed Young Link too for the time he has with DLC. Toon Link being differentiated more is very unlikely of itself.
has absorbed him into his collective.
From last time, except I took a couple points off the chance since we still haven't seen him. I just don't see what else really changed.
I'd like some proof of this, about older Zelda fans wanting a differentiated Young Link.
But what reason would there be to implement Young Link before then? Just like before, your argument is assuming his chances are self-evident.
What do you mean?
But why would he choose Young Link? You've argued so much for how he could be made less of a clone after the fact, but what would get Sakurai to choose him over however many others that might've been overlooked early in development?
I've already reiterated the reason before, veteran status:
Delphox doesn't have the veteran status like Young Link though, that's the advantage Young Link has over Delphox. If she we're a character heavily promoted by Game Freak right now, I could see her in the game pre-ballot. Out of all the Pokemon he could consider, a popular Pokemon like Hawlucha would probably be chosen over her. (especially when Sakurai has a good grasp of which Gen 6. Pokemon is popular and hot now) Making her more unlikely than Young Link.
Sakurai empathizes with the people whose favorite characters end up missing the cut. I understand that, as someone who was worried about Ike and Lucario not returning. But is that alone a reason for them to give veterans priority over all else, regardless of surrounding circumstances? Would bringing back the least requested veteran, one who happens to be a clone of a character who already has a semi-clone, satiate more fans than someone like Wolf with much heavier request and fewer hangups? Or a newcomer who would have more widespread appeal?
I agree with @

.I am saying that relevancy and promotion are poor reasons to add Young Link. Skull Kid is pretty popular among fans and Majora's Mask is iconic to Zelda fans, it was a missed opportunity to add it. As for the Splatoon content, the game went gold pretty fast and Nintendo has been promoting the hell out of that game. Smash is a good opportunity for them because you have this pretty popular crossover and by having these Mii costumes and a trophy for Splatoon, it would make for good promotion.
That is something that I can't argue against because it's 99% true, but it's an OoT stage getting represented in Smash and not a Majora's Mask one.
Though... I realized something...
I'm not saying they would satiate more fans, I said they would be brought back so that their mains and fans can use them again, regardless of the numerical amount of fans.
I'm not saying they are automatic priority, but it's a more possible scenario than the Delphox example you mention. I've always had the idea that veterans gave them an open shot as DLC since I rated Ivysaur, Pichu, Snake, and Squirtle. The promotion was not the most important factor, nor was the clone status, it was the veteran status.
Any character who gets new moves can generally attract some people's attention into buying the character. There are loads people who want moveset changes for many characters, and giving one to Young Link can be one of the main reasons people buy the character.
They are not attractive reasons to buy the character to a fan's perspective, but it certainly further benefits the character into getting considered and would provide a good business move to advertise a title that's been highly anticipated by fans since OoT-3D's release. They aren't the most important reason, but it is still beneficial.
I don't expect him to change that much, but I do expect that he keeps the same projectile spacing game Link has, but with a few new moves that will differentiate his play style more from Toon Link.
That's an awful lot of assumptions.
It's not going to stop third-party issues and technical limitations, but it is certainly a notable possibility that could trump every other factor and could give cut veterans a higher priority.
Wolf's veteran status didn't save him with this so called priority you speak of for vets.
Time constraints is something that veterans can likely not deal with in the base game, but it's no longer an issue in the case of DLC since the base game is done.
Wolf has as of current skipped the pre ballot DLC.
Seeing as everyone and their mother expected Wolf several times in the past, particularly after Lucas, there is basis to say that the possibility exists. He skipped two chances; third time's the charm.
