I think characters that already have an existing franchise in Smash are more likely. How about everyone else?
Fixed.
I don't think any series will get more than one character via DLC, and 3rd Party DLC isn't going to happen. So when we look at the series on the roster as is for possible/likely expansions to resident series...
: Captain Toad is the big fore-runner.: "Wizpig" Ganon or Impa.: Bandana Dee: : King K. Rool or Dixie: With Ridley and Dark Samus locked by being NPC's, there's very little hope. Sylux/Rundas being stragglers on this.: far more likely than Krystal: No major choices: Let's focus on a game first.:: If ANYONE is going to be Fire Emblem DLC, really the only "major, reocurring" character would be Anna who has made an appearance in 12 of the 13 games.: With Waluigi and Ashley locked by being NPC's, there's very little hope. Captain Syrup is basically the only straggler.: ...MOVING ON.: No expansion really possible for fighters.: With Tom Nook and Isabelle locked by being NPC's, there's practically no hope.: ...No.: No expansion really possible for fighters.: Mii class? Fairly unlikely but a Mii Mage is in moderate discussion.: I don't see another Xenoblade Chronicles character coming, and even an X character if nobody's particularly spectacular. Retroes are more likely to get by blind dart throwing on a spreadsheet of names than legitimately assessing. Only "big" names that weren't turned into Assist Trophies are Mach Rider, Donbe & Hikari (may have Icies issues), and Captain Rainbow if you count him for his game being all about retroes.Not true actually. That would go to Nuts & Milk, released on July 28th, 1984:
Even adding one indie character would be adding characters willy-nilly to be honest, given how many steps down they are in comparison to the third-parties we do have. If we're going to continue to add third-party characters, it should only be either Snake, Bomberman, or Slime. Simon maybe but I don't feel he should get in before the three I mentioned. Anyone else is a no-go to me.
To be fair, stages should be all but guaranteed to happen and it's not like getting a character from a new franchise is unlikely either. I also think Inklings are the newcomers with the best chance of inclusion, new series or not. Chorus Men as well if they can find a way to get them and Ice Climbers to work.NO.
NO MORE RIDLEY TALK.

Im going to show my prespective of this.I don't think any series will get more than one character via DLC, and 3rd Party DLC isn't going to happen. So when we look at the series on the roster as is for possible/likely expansions to resident series...
:its either captain toad or daisy: impa has the highest atvantage but not to likely though:only one more possible and thats bandana dee::: (i think its cake walk to say wolf is being delveloped as well as lucas now wolf while lucas is being developed.): only viridi is possible but thats low do to the reset bomb stage. (But however a remind of on spirit train on the 75m stage and on the duck hunt stage):nope:black shadow or bust:king k rool or dixie but the king has a huge atvantage due to the ballot and more request: or bust:ridley and dark samus are stuck as NPC evn from the ballot get over it, its either rundas or sylux:next:banjo and kazooie or bust:thats either doc louis or king hippo and i don't think either are happening.:only other classic all i got is wizard, but it ain't happening.:next:alph already from 3 in no more alts for olimar:nope: these are single/retro reps so mach rider or captain rainbow or bust.
They don't have to be iconic third-parties to get in, as long as they come from a popular franchise and have games on a Nintendo platform, they are as much of a qualifiable addition as Rayman, Bomberman, and other popular third-parties that are suggested here.
Wouldn't Sakurai's hesitant to add more third-parties indicate he realizes that third-parties are a special deal that shouldn't be overused and that the quality of the choice is incredibly important? He has stressed this point multiple times from pre-Brawl to today and there's no reason to believe that this has changed.
I agree.
!! I'm curious about how you all chose your mains? Did you just pick your favorite character or did you play around with the cast till you found who your best with? My brawl mains were Diddy and Olimar, but I don't want to main Diddy cause I know he's the top character and I want to do something different. Here's my plan once I get the game: unlock all the characters, play 1 FG match with every character, anyone I lose with is eliminated from main consideration, keep going till the last character standing is my main! What do y'all think? So excited to get this game and hopefully I'll see you guys on the battlefield
- Captain Toad. Toad's a staple of the series, and his Captain guise just sets him apart from the rabble. With a successful spin-off title under his belt and plenty of support from the creator and fans, he seems like he'd be a good choice. - - With Ashley out of the picture, Mona or Captain Syrup seem like the only reliable choices remaining. Shame neither of them are realistic. - K. Rool or Dixie. Preferably both, but either would be a blessing. - Impa. As much as I'd love to see Tingle, he's been disconfirmed for a long time; not to mention the fact that he's staggeringly unpopular outside of Japan. - Pichu? There are a lot I'd like to see, but I can't imagine we'll get anymore, especially with Mewtwo coming in a couple of days' time. - Bandana Dee: the Captain Toad of the Kirby mythos. - Ridley or Dark Samus are by far the most logical choices, and with them gone, it's a veeeery narrow runner-up sprint between Sylux and Rundas. I don't see either happening. Anthony or Adam would just be adding fuel to an already raging fire. - Highly, highly doubtful. If anybody was going to appear, it'd be Viridi, but it ain't gonna happen. - Wolf. This should go without saying, methinks. - Moving very swiftly on~ - Lucas is already a thing. We're good here. - No realistic choices. - Roy could be in with a shot, Tiki or Anna seem to be the most likely newcomers, possibly Kamui if FE14 is a success. That said, I don't think the latter is gonna happen. - Ahahahaha...yeah, nope. - Again, no realistic choices. - Very unlikely. I'd kill to see Metal Face, but even if he wasn't a stage hazard, no way is it gonna happen.
He's likely not going to overuse them anyway like I said before. Some of the indie and 3rd party characters are quality choices when it comes to their potential moveset, some stand out like Snake and even moreso.
Please see my signature for details.
Kid Icarus: Uprising is my all-time favourite game, and Pit and Palutena are my two favourite Nintendo characters. It was meant to be.Hey guys! So I've been following the development of this game since the first trailer and I'm finally getting my Wii U and the game this week
3rd parties need more than just potential moveset. They need to be characters with impact in the gaming industry throughout several generations.
Honestly, I feel like Quote is the only one of the 5 listed that can be disputed on their merits as a character and the game/series they represent because indie games were very often overseen when it came to any potential or merit until Cave Story made a massive mark on how people viewed the sub-culture of indie games.
THANK YOU.
I prefer Medusa, but I think Hades would be a fun addition as well.
Yeah I'm SSBFan. I changed my name because my premium is fixing to expire and because I find Ness saying "FUZZY PICKLES!" in the game with his peace signto be both cute and hilarious.
The thing here is that all third-party characters already in have had made a significant impact on gaming over several generations; same can't be said for the likes of Agnes, Quote, Shantae, and Shovel Knight. We have no idea if any of these franchises will even be relevant ten years from now let alone have any reasons to believe they will come close to the third-parties that already made it in. The only one in your list that could arguably be a good choice is Professor Layton but even then there's the issue of diminishing returns on third-parties (which would apply to everyone except Snake to be honest) and he needs to continue to be relevant if he is going to hope to get into a Smash game.
Actually...why IS Viridi seen as more likely than Medusa or Hades anyway?
Because Japan and their loli waifu bull****, that's why.
Actually, in regards to Shantae, her first game came out in 2002, so...if you asked if she would be relevant in ten years in 2002, the answer would have been "yes".
Most of the ballot-related polls say that Captain Toad is getting a lot of support actually.
Besides, it's non-canon anyways, so if anything this should make Ridley an ideal canidate for a newcomer; he's prominent in his home series, he's popular and he has moveset potential. Any other potential Metroid characters fill only one or two of them (Anthony is somewhat prominent, while Rundas has moveset potential and is popular), while only Ridley fills all three. Putting Rundas or Dark Samus or Anthony in would be like putting Dark Pit in; it's only because they're popular right now, not because they have become a staple Nintendo character like Ridley has.
Be my guest~ ;3
She's not, but she's probably the most viable, at least going by Uprising. She's one of the few characters in the Kid Icarus mythos to have a major role in the story (if Uprising's ending and Palutena's Guidance are anything to go by), and pretty much the only one not already in the roster to have a mainline role in the story (Magnus and Phosphora are recurrent characters, but their influence is only felt in a small handful of chapters, compared to Viridi becoming a mainstay ally after the Forces of Nature arc).
Playable female villain would be nice is all. (#TeamMedusa.)
I agree with this. As someone who wanted to see KIU get a lot of exposure in Smash 4, I feel like it did more harm than good and made a lot of people retroactively dislike it, especially on /v/. :I
Actually he was saying that Dedede is too small.
