In my opinion, I think 3 would be the best number, that way the outside characters wouldn't be completely alone on their side of the character select screen, plus this way they could have Snake, Megaman, and Sonic. (Which seem the most likely of possible 3rd party characters to me)

ITS OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAND!!!! Very cool video :p
Anyway I've read in wikipedia that except Snake there will be one or two 3rd party characters but they must have already a game on N64 or GCN! And look around a bit before posting :)

3. Snake,Simon Belmont(very likely, since Konami is in on this and Brawl needs more realistic, bad-*** looking characters) and Sonic,obviously. Hes not even Nintendo owned and hes topping practially every Brawl single character list on the web. Video game fans have been wanting this for years,why not throw the dogs a bone? Also, people are he won't make it in because the Olympics game, but if they can throw Mario and Sonic into some lame Olympics idea,why not one of the biggest franchises of all time?

Sorry, "Man" fans(Megaman,Bomberman,Rayman,Pac-man) but I really just don't see anything but Konami and Sega throwing their into the SSB ring, at least not right now. I ,mean, there's also downloadable characters...

Well, I think they'll only have one character from every 3rd-party. Of course I don't know this at all, just seems right, plus I think I remember reading it somewhere.

Anyway, I'm guessing 3 or the like.

2 other than snake: Sonic and Bomberman. Konami already has a representative, and Nintendo has partnered with Hudson for the Virtual Console. Bomberman also had multiple games on the N64 and Gamecube. If Geno counts as a third party, maybe 3. O, and Wikipedia is about as reliable as Mud Bubbha's opinions.

To me Sonic is like a sure thing! There were many discussions about him and he's the most favorable of the third parties to be in Brawl by the people in every corner of the planet! Now IF they decide to go for a third 3rd party char I have absolutely no idea who that may be!

I believe a while back, and I mean a while as in last year, they discussed something about the possiblity of only having a total of 3 third party characters. 1 of which is already revealed as Solid Snake, so only a possible of 2 others. I don't think they've made any other statements about it since then.

Snake is confirmed while Sonic is practically in so that leaves room for one more IF they even decide to add one more. I seriously think Nintendo could care less about the third party characters beside the two I already said.

I think adding more than three would be adding too many, and oversaturating Brawl with 3rd party characters would make them lose their novelty...

no, Sonic is better off on his own anyways, ditto for snake. and X should not get in over the original, so no Zero. and unless we're going the IC route for everybody, that's six seperate characters, far more than has even been hinted at for Brawl. Couple that with the fact that non of those combinations are necessary in and IC way....

so No.

I don't think it's a good idea to put too many of these third party characters in the game.
come on guys this would suck . just keep in mind that ssbb is still a NINTENDO game.
so y put bombermans simons or sonics and s*** in it??

as far as I am concerned one third party character as a representative for "not-nintendo games" would be tolerable.....

there are alot of franchises that have strong nintendo ties that aren't first party, so being in a Nintendo All Stars game isn't that far off. Simon Belmont and Megaman are two such examples.

Sonic v Mario is something everyone and their grandma has wanted to see, so why not.

No, it's true. There was a break through in the field of comedy and it was resoundingly proven.

considering there will be two or three more other than snake, according to Sakurai, id have to say your a bit off.

Anyways, i'm pretty sure there will be three, five at the absolute max.

Mr. Sakurai: Actually what really brought about the Snake character goes back to a conversation I had back when I was developing Smash Bros. for GameCube, when Hideo Kojima contacted me and practically begged me to put Snake in the game. But at that time we were already deep in development and I was thinking that we weren't going to be able to get him in there. I told him that it was too bad he hadn't brought it up earlier, and that was the end of the story.

When this project came up, because I had been in contact with him back then, we re-initiated talks and decided to put Snake into the game.

Mr. Miyamoto: Mr. Sakurai's discussions were really more on a personal level with Mr. Kojima than on a corporate level. But obviously a lot of people have been interested in getting other characters in the game. A big part of it is having someone that you can trust to take care of your character and make sure that it turns out well. There are possibilities for other characters to appear in the game as well, and it's possible that there are corporate discussions going on now about what other characters may appear. But, maybe we’ll be talking about that another day!"

I'm not off. I expect Snake will be the only one.

imo the only 3rd party characters should only be Snake(who is in) and Sonic( who is very popular) and maybe one additional but no more than 3 characters are good

Well sence noone listlened to me I may aswell post anyway. No mod or Admin has stated I can't do so otherwise yet.

I don't have any kind of guess about whos in, but I do know it will be more then one. If theres only one, it may look like to others that Nintendo has some kinda bond with Konemi, and other people/Businesses, may resent that, decreseing sales in both companys.

I defantaly think there will be at least one more.


Eyyyyy 300 posts! ^^
Wow my fonzie sucks. >.>;

And? It's still not guaranteed that there will be others.

Just one. Snake.

I'd say otherwise. If Sakurai were to say that the character must have at least appeared on a Nintendo platform, and if he expresses a like for a certain character, which he has, I'd say that's gotta mean something.

Then again, if you're only expecting one, I'm cool with that. It's just that there's a pretty HIGH chance there will one or two more.
