This is hilarious. Development has EVERYTHING to do with it. And where does it say about "two reps maximum"? What does that mean?
There's no such character
Fairly certain DNaux was referring to Shadow and his apparent gritty makeover that happened during the Cube Era.
Don't you mean Ow the Edge.
Please excuse my French, what I meant was "That damn fourth Chaos Emerald."
You think you're fooling me, but you're not!
Sonic. Is. Not. A. Nintendo. Franchise.
Fixed. I had to take the opportunity.
Excellent good use of those spoiler tags, good sir!
I feel Shadow is grittier than Snake. Yes, I went there.
Sonic is multiplatform, a good part of his inclusion is because of the fan demand and the console wars recognition. They only recently struck a contract deal for Sonic games exclusively on Wii U and 3DS which solidified his inclusion.
I don't know, but my arguement about the whole houseguest policy is an accurate representation of Nintendo with 3rd Parties in Smash.
Appearing in Directs doesn't mean a whole lot... Countless third parties appear in directs.
I just said, the ONLY non Nintendo franchise that qualifies for a second representative. Being third party means almost nothing, we see Sonic and his friends in countless Nintendo games AND Nintendo directs, and more importantly, MANY crossovers with Mario, so yes, it DOES deserve a second representative, you don't like it, then don't start a fight with me.
You'd think that, after the good doctor burned his island down and stole the thing he was born to protect, that he'd be a little more weary of ol' Robuttnik.
Pac-Man appears in Mario Kart games!
Many contracts and deals led to Sonic's inclusion, not just fan demand.. Sonic until Lost World has been very multiplatform as a series.
Agreed.
Not the big shot ones, though. It would only make sense to me if he actually appeared in a REAL mario kart game, not just the arcade stuff.
Why is the arcade stuff any different?
The arcade games are actually very popular in Japan. Otherwise we wouldn't have three of them. And at a local arcade me and my friends often play it.
Swamp Sensei
, then Mario Bros. shouldn't matter too, totally if we use that logic.
I'm not fighting.
Well in the case of the Mario Kart GP titles, there is the obvious elephant in the room where Bandai Namco characters are referenced in that game, like Pac-Man, Mametchi, and Don-Chan.
I checked out the thread. It isn't exactly a high priority for me, personally, but I will admit that he would definitely be an interesting character. I took him off the "downsides" of my post, by the way.
What evidence do you have to support this theory?
Oh boy, I'd love to hear this. I'm all ears.
Mainly the interview regarding to how Bandai Namco characters won't simply get in because of the loophole that Bandai Namco is working on the next Super Smash Bros. games. It seems like according to what the interview said, it's implied that a character regarding to Bandai Namco wasn't originally considered because of the statement. However in the hypothetical sense that if one was chosen, Pac-Man was mentioned along with some discussion regarding to how he would play out.
You mean Vegeta the edgehog. We have Lucario as Goku, we need Shadow as Vegeta.
Pit with the Sacred Treasures. Peach hopefully with at least an updated Peach Blossom. I would like to see that new Supernova Kirby where he swallows everything. But that's really all I can think of. And hopefully Mario's Finale can be a bit more useful.
Sonic is more than just a guest, I don't understand how you people don't see that! Seeing as he is the only third party character who is returning, and in smash to stay, you are basically saying that Sakurai should continue doing a poor job representing Sonic, he's too famous to get cut, and too famous to be in it alone. The Willy Nilly thing only means that the Sonic franchise is limited to a maximum of two characters.
