(But seriously, can you imagine the extreme salt if this happened? People would be furious for years afterwards.)
I used to think that we were only going to get 5 or 6 characters altogether but with the Ryu and Roy development I wouldn't be surprised if we got at least a whole row's worth (9 or 10).
I don't understand...why would this make people upset?Wouldn't it be twistedly ironic if all the "Forbidden Seven" from Brawl became playable through DLC? Only four more characters to go...
Guess we will finally find out who this mysterious Pra_Mai is then!Wouldn't it be twistedly ironic if all the "Forbidden Seven" from Brawl became playable through DLC? Only four more characters to go...
I know Toon Zelda and Toon Sheik would undoubtedly cause a buttload of butthurt at the very least.
I'm pretty sure that Toon Sheik is supposed to be Tetra, which I, for one, would love to see. Toon Zelda is okay too I guess.
I'd actually be on board with "Toon Sheik" if it wound up being Tetra like some people speculated back in the day. Dixie would be great too. Really iffy on Toon Zelda (normal Zelda is already garbage) and whatever the hell Pra_Mai is supposed to be.Guess we will finally find out who this mysterious Pra_Mai is then!
And I don't mind seeing the rest of the Forbidden seven making it in. (Except Toon sheik)
I don't think Toon Sheik was actually Tetra, seems pretty pointless to call her "Toon Sheik" imo. But if she was meant to be Tetra then I'm all on board for her too.
Because Ryu, Snake, Sonic, Megaman, and Pacman are just characters that have "touched a Nintendo console". They don't have any other redeeming qualities at all.
3rd party characters that are part of Nintendo's history makes it not Nintendo's history?
The last mainline Street Fighter game that was on a Nintendo system, excluding the 3ds port and the VC, was on the SNES. He shows up in spin-offs now and again, but he also does that on the other systems as well, plus they get the main games. It's like Final Fantasy. Sure it has a Nintendo presence, but it's mostly been spin-offs since the SNES; it has a much larger presence elsewhere. Though even FF has a bigger spin-off presence than Ryu does frankly.
You've taken a step backwards. Three Nintendo newcomers is absurd compared to every vet and eight third-parties.
This prediction roster is not final.
ok so because one more 3rd party from a company is added magically a bunch more are? to the point we have 40%? that is an absurd amount of hyperbole.
Nintendo buying capcom/sega/ sonic/mega man have been going around since I joined this site. probably the first time it's had any merit but Capcom honestly seems to be in a ggod spot to me so I kind of doubt it. Especially with SFV's current position.
Because that is all the Third Party characters will mean if there is no guideline to them. If all of these other Third Party characters get in what makes Ryu, Snake, Sonic, Megaman and Pacman's inclusion so important? Getting in a game where practically everyone who showed up on a Nintendo console back in the day?
There are no guidelines to how many third party characters we can have and how much from each franchise they are allowing. Is there any limit to Ryu not bringing in handful of his buddies in? What about Megaman?
Because there is nothing stopping them from getting in unless stated otherwise by Nintendo/Sakurai.
There is no reason given for why the peasants won't follow. If the rumor of Ryu getting in is true, then what is limiting the amount of Third Party characters per franchise in?
I also forgot every video game character that has been on Nintendo consoles in the 80s, 90s, 00s and up til now. Crono and Black Mage to state two.
More about advertising than anything, since Third Party companies will want their character in because of the advertising that it brings.
Why are you excluding the 3DS port of SSFIV though?.. Why magically this doesn't count?
.. is like saying that the Xbox 360 didn't get SFIV, cause was just a port from Arcade version. lol...
Again, the only reason Nintendo would've added Ryu is if Nintendo got some special deal out of Capcom. This is one possibility, another is that they're commissioning a Capcom crossover and Ryu in Smash as a cross-promotion.
It's not like SF2 made the best-selling SNES games list three times, or Nintendo held an event for SSFIV3D's launch, or Mario's moveset in Super Smash Bros is inspired by Ryu. Ryu's been on just about every Nintendo system at least once. Not counting bootlegs, we have:
I'm glad you know who everyone did and didn't want. I guess that Ryu support thread from 2013 isn't there, and I guess the occasional people I see elsewhere say "Ryu'd be cool in Smash" don't exist. Every character will be wanted in by somebody. You can bet your ass someone out there wanted Wii Fit Trainer or ROB.
is your argument seriously "there is no official statement about how many can get in therefore it is possible for anyone to enter"?
You know, your mainline Street Fighter argument would hold more water if numbered Street Fighter games where coming out regularly.
Capcom Vs. SNK was a SNK production, if I remember correctly.
Knowing Capcom, they probably strong armed them to include Ryu if they wanted to get the rights to use Megaman (AKA the most wanted third party character after Sonic) which would mean they intended Ryu to be DLC from the get-go.
Actually, Capcom vs. SNK is produced and distributed by Capcom;.. SNK handled SvC Chaos and the Card Fighter Series.
If Nintendo Vs. Capcom ever becomes a thing, I will die a happy man.
Frankly, I think this is a lot more likely....
than this, because I simply don't think Nintendo would've agreed to include Mega Man if they were FORCED to include Ryu later. They just wouldn't have included him at all.Knowing Capcom, they probably strong armed them to include Ryu if they wanted to get the rights to use Megaman (AKA the most wanted third party character after Sonic) which would mean they intended Ryu to be DLC from the get-go.
... yeah, this is probably the case...
my dreams of teenager.
(but doubt that would happen, .. would certainly steal Smash4 thunder; even being two different core games, I suppose).
And then to please those who don't want to play a more traditional fighting game they slowly release every Capcom rep and new Nintendo rep in the game for Smash at a low price of $4 or $5 for both systems
For Third Party characters? Any that showed up on Nintendo consoles back in the day and throughout the many consoles of Nintendo. How far will it bend?
We have nothing stopping them except for Nintendo/Sakurai. Guidelines add rules to who gets in, if no rules are stated, then there is nothing to go by. All we have is: Must have appeared on a Nintendo console and Must be a video game character.
If Ryu turns out to be true, then that is the real evidence. Characters from the same franchise? I have not seen anything against them.
The point is about Third Party Guidelines, not Nintendo characters.
Ridley is bad, he doesn't have the Frying Pan.
