Who is that?
K. Rool.
Ah. You know, that kinda makes me happy. A lot of people are beaten to a pulp because they support the underdogs. Especially Ridley and all-veteran supporters. Maybe that will change.
Hopefully we get Excitebike to complete the NES and N64-era characters.
Probably not a good idea since this will inevitably cause arguing and bitterness.
Your probably right. I still curious though. It seems that most characters that are doing relatively well in the ballot are despised by most people here. I'd like to get proved wrong though.
Er, what? Isn't that kind of backwards, if the biggest Smash community on the internet hates the popular choices for Smash characters?
You're right, I do not know. However, I never stated that Villager or Tom Nook won't be in the game. I would've just rather see them before Isabelle. I don't know what else to tell you lol.
I think the general mindset is 5 being the absolute max...Party poopers.
I guess I am blowing that out of proportion. I dunno.
I'd guess Banjo, Captain Toad, or Rayman.
Toad and Rayman are good choices.............although I'm still rooting for Paper Mario *waves little Paper Mario flag*
I would love Paper Mario.
Banjo is owned by Microsoft...
And has been "revived" in a way recently which makes things even less likely. Why do people think this can be a thing? Its like wanting Kratos.
People can dream, but Banjo aint likely.
I'm aware. However:
@PedroDarkinson I think it would be cool if Banjo was in the next SSB DLC. We've worked with Nintendo on Rare IP before, no issues.

Bruh, any developer who is smart would kill for their character in Smash. Team Meat had the same statement, so did Wayforward. Don't mean anything.
Oh it means a lot.
Microsoft would gloss over the fact that they'd get free advertising from Nintendo.
No, they wouldn't gloss over it, that'd be something they'd like about the possibility.
Sry, I meant that's what they would want Nintendo to gloss over.
Do you really think "8" constitutes as "several?" We'll be lucky to have 8 DLC characters period.
It isn't a huge deal for Nintendo.
Microsoft doesn't see the 3DS as a competitor because they don't have a portable system. Also the fact that Microsoft is a western company and Nintendo is sometimes hesitant to work with western companies (thats changing though).
You mean paying money to a rival company to license the characters (as well as making it incredibly hard for Banjo to be in future Smash games) for DLC that isn't even guaranteed to turn the biggest profit of any DLC character?
You are right about the 3ds. Not sure what point you're making.
If Microsoft wants Banjo in, they'll be very cooperative. This would likely include a low licensing fee, I'd bet all the 3rd party characters had generous licensing fees. Because they want their character in smash.
Lots of competitive players and Japan in general really wanted Roy back in Smash. That's a huge part of the Smash market right there.
Because they'd have to renegotiate the contract with Microsoft with every successive game. We already saw Snake get dropped, you think they would bother with Banjo?
You're thinking with far too of a western mindset. Banjo has fairly lukewarm popularity in Japan. He wouldn't make waves in that market.
I'm not saying there wasn't reason to think Roy would be successful. However, you would have to concede that Roy won't be very close to being as successful as Ryu or Mewtwo. There are a lot of people, like myself, who don't think Roy is interesting enough for $5. Nintendo had to have known this, but went for it anyway.
Are you seriously suggesting that Sonic being in Brawl made it difficult to get him in Smash 4? That Pac-Man and Mega Man being in MSash 4 will make it hard for them to get into smash 5?
Don't tell Nintendo that! Let them dream.
The issue here is that third parties aren't competing first parties. Sega and Capcom have fairly good business relationships with Nintendo and Namco is making the game so those characters aren't an issue. We don't know how Nintendo and Microsoft's relationship will be 5-10 years from now. The fact that Snake got dropped without so much as a word about Konami makes me think it's not a terribly consistent career choice for these characters.
And Japan has always been Nintendo's primary market.
