And if we do get a sixth Mario rep, I'm placing my bets on Paper Mario
Why would he? Have you even completed Skyward Sword? Up till mid-game, yeah you MIGHT think Ghirahim is more important than Impa. Finish the game however, and you will know it's not the case.
I, sir, care about Four Swords! Well; Adventures anyway.
Why is it so much of a problem that Zelda has 1 more character? It has been this way since Brawl ever since Dr.Mario got cut.
Pokémon will very likely get both Mewtwo and Jigglypuff. DKC also should have a newcomer. So it all balances out very nicely.
I have played the game and love it, Ghirahim is the main show until the last 5 minutes when demise appears, Ghirahim is the one started the events of the game and Zelda would have probably never met Impa if it wasn't for Ghirahim, I would say that Ghirahim is more important than Impa in skyward sword, So why are supporting Anthony, a one off who by your logic will never get in over the main villain that has appeared in most games of their franchise? It seems that appereances matter but only when they benefit somebody you want
I don't. If anything, Pokemon should have more characters than Mario considering they have more possible candidates than Mario.
Anthony Higgs isn't even part of this discussion! Man, how do you expect to take you seriously like this? I already said: Anthony Higgs was just FAR MORE likely than Ridley, NEVER more deserving. Ridley, in fact, never was likely since the moment Pyro Sphere came up.
Thanks Fal. I know you hated the idea before, but eventually: all what I always said was about to happen to Impa in regard to character development in the series turned out to be true.
Paper Mario is a Paper Mario character. He's even less associated with the Super Mario series than Donkey Kong and Yoshi are.
Paper Mario is not a separate franchise from Mario
And how I am supposed to take you seriously when you contradict yourself WITH YOUR OWN LOGIC and is a complete hypocrite the most of the time, So you claim to know what Sakurai thinks? WHAT IF GANONDORF GETS A REVAMP? WHAT IF GANONDORF GETS A NEW FINAL SMASH? You are already making assumptions WITHOUT ANYTHING TO BACK THEM, we already have 2 zeldas and 2 links, Impa would make the zelda reps look even uglier, Ganon has more potential than Impa anyway and is more popular, also your logic is "GHIRAHIM, VAATI, ETC CANNOT GET OVER IMPA BECAUSE THEY ONLY APPEAR IN ONE GAME BUT IMPA CAN GET OVER GANON BECAUSE OF MY FANMADE RULE THAT THERE CAN'T BE 2 GANON'S, the problem is that Eiji implied there will be a lot of characters in the game, Impa was revealed first, good for her, she will be 1 of the many characters in the game, Sheik already killed all Impa chances of being playable, you should be happy if she manages to be a trophy unlike Brawl, where she was only a sticker if I recall, let's be honest, other than your fan made rule that "there can't be two ganon's" then Ganon is the perfect zelda newcomer, popular, unique, recurring, important, recent,would represent the A link to the Past timeline, etc, Impa will probably not happen, at least this timeAnthony Higgs isn't even part of this discussion! Man, how do you expect to take you seriously like this? I already said: Anthony Higgs was just FAR MORE likely than Ridley, NEVER more deserving. Ridley, in fact, never was likely since the moment Pyro Sphere came up.
And I also said: Anthony Higg's chances have basically been killed off once the Gunner Miifighter showed up. So long for a Metroid newcomer!
Ghirahim is as much of an one-off as Anthony Higgs is. I cannot keep on a discussion about how a long lasting, soon to be playable character in the franchise >>> a one-off villain in a series that has a 10.000 or so of these. Example: Majora, Yuga, Nightmare, Zant, Bellum...
However, Anthony Higgs has one advantage: Metroid has an EXTREMELY ****ty supporting cast. And seeing as side-kicks often make it in before villains, and Ridley was in an extremely bad situation (and still is), what is a man to do who would like to see a Metroid character? Support the Mysterious Black Man. Especially since Samus is in Other M design.
*sigh* Why do I have to explain logic?
Impa is not as re-occuring as Ganon, no of course not. But there's a reason they went with GanonDORF in the first place : it's Ganon but in humanoid form. It just suits much better as a fighter, and Ganon has been Ganondorf's Final Smash since Brawl. IT WILL VERY LIKELY REMAIN HIS FINAL SMASH. I won't explain why, as I also already did this before.
Then there's also the 2 Links, 2 Zeldas, 2 Ganons fiasco. It just looks ugly.
Impa is easily the best Zelda character suited for Smash left. She wasn't announced in Hyrule Warriors as a 2nd character for nothing! In fact, Nintendo has shown interesst in having a female protagonist in Zelda. With the rate Impa is going now, it might very well be her one day. Especially if Hyrule Warrios is to become a success. And with playable Zelda, and the return of Ganondorf... I think a lot of Zelda fans would really love to play it! It's like the ultimate fan-service game for Zelda fans. Canon or not, it's popularity is the only thing what will count in the end.
Also the fact they seem to go for a more stabilised design for Impa is a good sign for her as a re-occuring character in Zelda. Just check this image:
Impa has had a revival role in Skyward Sword, and is likely there to stay. I say she should be welcomed in Smash because of this!
Ummm... No. Paper Mario is far more associated with the Super Mario series than Donkey Kong. You see Goombas running around on Donkey Kong Island? I haven't seen Bowser anywhere either... Shy Guys maybe? Also not! But they where in Yoshi's Island to! Ohh wait... Donkey Kong actually ISN'T as much as a Mario "sub-franchise" as I thought!?
They gave Ganondorf human form because Sakurai was making last minute clones during Melee's development.
I would've said the same to Midna if I were in the Brawl speculation circle, and look what happened to her.
Okay, those were a poor choice of words. I realize that. That's no reason to be so rude about it, sheesh.
Yeah funny that, the reason Ganondorf got in is because he has a similar build to Falcon.
I still think he has the best chance. There is a big possibility that there will be no Zelda newcomer (although the existing cast did get some new moves).
My only gripe with the design is that she has a bit too pale of a skintone for a Sheikah. Both of her other ninja designs have her with more olive-complected skin, and I think that did a good job of making her look distinct from the Hylians.

Sonic's situation was different, It would probably be Mewtwo as the only unique DLC since he's a cut veteran.
I do not think the situation was that different. If Sakurai decided for DLC, he might just have released Brawl and had Sonic as a free download.
Sorry.
I explained myself well enough. I do not claim to know Sakurai or what he's thinking. That'd be impossible to do. After all, his mind is too complex for mortal humans to comprehend.
I agree with it partially, it trashes the novelty, and it honestly feels like more a fanservice thing than a newcomer actually getting in the main roster for great merits. Which is why I doubt we'll get Waddle Dee, Isaac, Robin, or Toad as playable DLC anytime soon until the next installment.
