  • My Thoughts On Third Party Companies:

    Capcom: Ryu & Mega Man, No need for further representation just yet, though if we were able to get a third representative from a new series my bets are on the following; Monster Hunter, Phoenix Wright or Amaterasu.

    Namco: Pac-Man, Yeah Namco Bandai definitely needs another representative thrown in the mix, they are one of the smash developers afterall, one of the following would suffice: Heihachi Mishima, Solaire of Astora, Nightmare or Lloyd Irving.

    SEGA: Sonic & Bayonetta, not the best representatives in all honesty, Sonic is a no brainer and the mascot of SEGA, but lately Bayonetta feels more like a Nintendo character than a SEGA IP, as a result I would welcome a character more synonymous with SEGA nowadays like the following; AiAi, Alex Kidd, Akira Yuki or Axel Stone.

    Konami: Solid Snake & Simon Belmont (w/Richter Belmont), Solid representation here and no real need for another rep accept for maybe an echo for Solid Snake in the form of Liquid Ocelot.

    Square Enix: Cloud Strife; like Namco Bandai this third-party definitely needs more representation due to their support of the Switch and if we were to add Characters from other Square Series I wouldn't mind seeing the following; Lara Croft, Sora or Slime. (Though I secretly want another Final Fantasy Rep in the form of Black Mage or Sephiroth).

    Companies I could see getting a rep through dlc.
    -Bethesda w/Doomguy
    -Ubisoft w/Rayman or Rabbids
    -Microsoft w/Banjo-Kazooie or Steve?
    -Activision w/Crash Bandicoot or Spyro
    -Suda51 w/Travis Touchdown

    The only Konami rep I need is the bubble bobble dudes.

    I think they tend to pick characters based on a historical connection to Nintendo. Nintendo doesn't want to lose that focus lest Smash will cease to feel like a Nintendo game. Sonic got in because of his iconic reputation as a Mario rival. Bayo got in because she is indeed feeling "more like a Nintendo character." That's probably why someone like Alex Kidd won't get in. Smash is about celebrating Nintendo not so much the companies whose 3rd party characters managed to get in.
