The four you mentioned are actually the few I care for the most. With Chocobo being at the very top of that list of course! If either Chocobo, Banjo, Spyro, or Amaterasu make it in, I would be one extremely happy fella! It sounds like you would have a pretty cute reaction yourself, haha. And you really feel Chocobo has the best chance? I'll keep hoping and dreaming of his inclusion for sure. I'm just really glad to see more Chocobo fans like yourself around. As well as the other three you mentioned. The funny part is that they're all animal like characters. I might be a little bias towards those types~

Well, Banjo is stuck in some unfortunate licensing / mostly-dead franchise limbo. Amaterasu, while amazing, seems to be the wrong proportion, and honestly I don't think would show up. Spryo I suppose has a chance? But Chocobo is part of a company that has a member already in Smash, and like you said actually has games, some exclusive, on Nintendo consoles. Thinking from a standpoint of appeal as well, he's a friendly face and iconic at the same time to older fans of the series (Chocobo Racing, Chocobo Dungeon, etc). Even fans of the large mount ones like in FFVII probably still like him. So I dunno, if Square is getting another character in, I don't think Chocobo has a bad chance. I'd love to say Banjo-Kazooie has that kind of chance, but even with the XBox head showing interest, there's just a lot more licensing and convincing I feel, sadly.

Oh, and I looooove animals and animal characters. If I didn't go into Information Technology, Zoology would have been among the things considered. I'm a sucker for cute characters too. In Ultimate I plan on playing a lot of Yoshi, Pichu, Pikachu, and Inklings. (Inklings are cute / cool to me, hah.) So yeah, if any of the 5 DLC are quadruped or animal characters, I'll be happy!

Ah, those are some good points you brought up. Still, I know I would greatly prefer Banjo over the abomination that is...Steve... *Shudders* But yeah, I thought Amaterasu was really fun to play as in MvC3. She was always in the teams I used. There was so much variety in her moveset as well! Spyro would be a nice surprise. One I would absolutely love, heh. And I'm glad to see you know about Chocobo's past games!

With the point you bring, chocobos are pretty much Square Enix mascot like character. So they're definitely very relevant to most Final Fantasy fans. It would make a lot of sense! Chocobo's game series was dead for around 10 years. But now it's finally been revived with his lastest Dungeon game coming out this winter. The timing seems to be around the same time the first Smash DLC character might come around. And since that first character has been speculated to be a Square Enix character, these facts all point to very good chances of Chocobo making it in like you said. I mean...he did also have a Mii outfit in Smash 4, so he's got that going for him as well~

You know, I can't bring myself to actually hate the idea of Steve. A Minecraft stage could be pretty neat, and I'm sure Sakurai would make Steve fun. That said, he's definitely not near the top of my most wanted list, hah. If there's any saving grace from Steve is that it would mean that Microsoft and Nintendo worked something out that could possibly open the door for Banjo-Kazooie, hah.

The more you talk about Chocobo, the more I absolutely want them now. A chocobo that has alt costumes literally of all of his jobs sounds amazing. Yep, now I really want him, haha. :3
