's Final Smash is based on a spin-off title.'s excistance by itself is already proving your every point wrong.'s appearance is based on a 3rd party developer.
You don't see anything from Link's Crossbow Training or BS Zelda do you?
And there's probably more I just don't feel like digging into.
Btw Bandana Dee isn't a bad choice for a character at all.
BS Zelda is just that... BS. Bull****. Crap coming out of a male cow's behind.
Uh... no, I'm talking about this...

Hipster.About Inklings ; Sakurai. If you include something first party Nintendo-owned, I'd prefer it NOT to be the Inklings.
I really seem to dislike too much stuff that everyone else likes.
&, yet I don't like their playstyles that much.
, yet my most wanted characters where basically always the most requested ones... King K.Rool, Mewtwo and Isaac where basically my 'Top 3 Most Wanted' before anything about this game came into being. They toppled in popularity and ballot votes, yet all I got was - nerfed to **** and all. Now, I basically have no hope for Isaac, and K.Rool's chances are also looking dim, so best I can ask for is Impa and Dixie. And even though they are recent AND old skool AND heavily established in their series, they won't probably be included.
We Kuttroaths seems to have telepathic abilities with Sakurai, or we are crazy schizophrenics. In any case, not to be messed with.
I love the roster though. The man put his heart and soul into this series. And if this is his last hurrah as one of my favourite developers I'm thankful to him for everything! Do I want K. Rool and Dixie Kong in? Heck yes. Will they get in? I don't know but there's always the future. It won't stop me for appreciating all the hard-work Masahiro Sakurai has done and be thankful for it all!
Am not saying he's not hard working. I just question his character choices, that's all.
About Inklings ; Sakurai. If you include something first party Nintendo-owned, I'd prefer it NOT to be the Inklings.

Well, I don't care much about people's opinions.
should've been replaced with Impa.
I know this wasn't addressed to me but I'd like to share my feelings on the Inklings if you don't mind. Keep in mind these are all my opinions so I may very well be wrong.
I wanted the Ice Climbers out, but at this point, I think they'd hype me more than anything else I can realistically expect. I.e. Inklings. Wolf still beats them tho.
except not from a company already in the game, without nearly the amount of legacy, without being a powerhouse title for a Nintendo console, being from an American company with minimal eastern popularity, and being famous for the amount of violence and gore that sparked the outcry of the ESRB's foundation.Time constraints. The same thing that kept
out of this game and outta Brawl.
I mean, what you say is true to a certain extent. But you still disregard Banjo's legacy on the N64. It completely overshadows any thoughts of "dead franchise" or "relevancy". I don't know how good of a chance he's got, but it's not by any means a long shot. He is significant to the N64 and Nintendo's history.
I really would argue about "persists."
While the quality of his games is in near-constant question, his popularity and iconicism aren't. His series speaks more than the character, (5 main games and god knows for re-releases and side games) but still one of the staples of gaming history. A character of many incarnations and dozens if not over a hundred titles. From 1987 to 2015 he's a series of massive scale and popularity. The only Gaming character who could be argued to be more iconic than . The face of fighting games. While you can find plenty who don't know Ryu by name, or possibly even Street Fighter, you can bet that they can recognize HADUKEN - SHORYUKEN because of how ingrained it is to gaming. Upcoming 5th major game with T-O-N-S of side games and re-releaess. The most recognizable face from the most prestigious jrpg series. While he has one proper game under his belt, personally, even the compilation for FF7 through Advent Children, Crisis Core, and Dirge of Cerberus kept it poking up for years after alongside appearances in celebrations of FF as a whole such as Kingdom Hearts, Theathrythm, the FF Mobile games, even the Tactics games have used him as a secret character. He's done far more to keep himself relevant despite having a more critically acclaimed and praised game from the same era.
Sure, we do see stuff from BS Zelda. We see the bow, sword, shield, boomerang, and bombs.
It's doing pretty well, but we have no representation of it whatsoever, not a song, trophy, or even a costume, and all of the characters in Smash are represented through their mainline series, not spin-offs. So, there you go.Sure, we do see stuff from BS Zelda. We see the bow, sword, shield, boomerang, and bombs.
Okay, but seriously, I don't think there would be a single problem with portraying Impa in Smash as how she appears in Hyrule Warriors. No main series Zelda title has ever shown her doing any *actual* fighting, despite her supposedly being a skilled fighter in some of her incarnations. And with due respect, using the whole "It was made by a third party developer" argument is pretty terrible considering how many third parties we have in the roster. I mean, we have Cloud whose Nintendo appearance is, what, Theatrhythm? Comparing that to a third party's likeness of a first party character should have way more merit, especially since it's a strong portrayal of a recurring character from one of Nintendo's strongest series. And, for a spin-off, it's doing pretty good considering it was a $60 game with a lot of content and with DLC, and is being re-released on the 3DS with even more content now. There's a strong difference between something like that and Link's Crossbow Training.
We don't really know how the limitations on the 3DS works really.....so we can't say that neither. Why speculate on that when that may not even be the reason as to why they may not make it. We know nothing behind the scenes of what happens in development, we don't work on the game, just say we don't know why they may not make Smash as DLC, because no knows anything at this point.
I'm not optimistic- however, the context of that statement was an acceleration of confidence. I truly believe Lip is likely if Sakurai wants to represent the Tetris game in Smash- we would get Lip as a character derived from the Tetris idea, and an actual stage from the true-to-title series, Tetris.
The thing that makes me think we aren't getting Scorpion or Sub Zero- Sakurai billed Ryu as the king of fighting games. Getting another third party fighting character now would be a disrespectful, and one thing I truly cannot see, is Sakurai trying to shock us with a second fighting character, after promoting a former as "Number 1!"
Well, this is an opinion. We can round right back to that entire conversation if you'd enjoy such.
