Viridi would be really cool actually that's a good one! I actually only ever playedOoh, I got it!
Viridi and Ashley would be smashing! Yeah, they are based on DLC costumes forthat I bought and that I think rock, but it isn't enough. I think we can stand a couple more female spell-casters/sword-fighters.
using this costume!
But they're both misanthropic brats who want to conquer humankind!Ooh, I got it!

Banjo is possible. The only requirement is to be a video game character. He's unlikely simply because Rare is owned by Microsoft. It is notable that the Microsoft CEO did say he had no issues with the idea, but it doesn't mean it would happen easily.
So is Sora(who is pretty darn iconic at this point, more than a lot think. Only thing some people don't know is he's owned by Disney, not Square-Enix).
Don't forget the rule that they must have appeared on a Nintendo console or otherwise have ties to Nintendo.Banjo is possible. The only requirement is to be a video game character. He's unlikely simply because Rare is owned by Microsoft. It is notable that the Microsoft CEO did say he had no issues with the idea, but it doesn't mean it would happen easily.
Just wanted to clear it up why some characters are unlikely VS impossible. The only impossible characters are those who are severely obscure(Sakurai wants iconic 3rd parties), there's no way the company would okay it, or because they didn't originate in a video game(3rd party rule specifically. It's debatable how much it applies to 1st and 2nd parties, but it probably is a relevant point to look at), also they have to have a video game appearance as is before anything matters.
Anyone who wins the Smash Poll must at least be in a video game, if 3rd party they must originate in a video game, and how likely they are depends on very many factors.
Simply put, Goku is impossible. Brian from Quest 64 is unlikely enough to be impossible due to Imagineer no longer into gaming(whom they have to get permission from), and rather obscure(note that he has a minority popularity at this point at best, but to pretend he's anywhere near iconic is laughable. Banjo is way more known than him, and there's a good reason for that). Note, let's say this character somehow got super high on the Smash Poll. Due to Imagineer's situation, he wouldn't be feasible. He might be someday if the game series gets revived and Imagineer either okays it or gives up the trademark to someone else, and most importantly, does well enough to garner interest. It's an obscure cult classic series with minor popularity.
And yes, I'm using one of my favorite games as an example of why there's more factors than "it's owned by Microsoft". Also, I'd say Master Chief/Jago/Fulgore are more likely than Banjo. The reason is they're more relevant, currently more popular, and their games had a major gaming impact. Halo heavily redefined the FPS genre. Killer Instinct defined combos, created the very well known Combo Breaker, and also is the reason for announcer chatter to be common place.
Banjo is a cool choice, though.
Neither are rules that have a basis in reality. That's an old mistranslation. It's "The character must've originated in a video game and I'm more likely to go with a character than was on a Nintendo System." Note that this is his overall stance and he did also say no Manga characters as well. When asked about cartoon characters, he outright laughed and didn't take it seriously, which pretty much killed Anime characters' chances. Manga/Anime and Comics/Cartoons are treated similarly due to being very similar concepts with the key difference being the country of origin. Generally, Manga/Anime were from the Asian countries, while others had the Comics/Cartoons. The other is that they need to be a video game character, along with saying he'd look at characters who had Nintendo appearances more fondly.
Yeah, a lot of what you said are fanrules. The idea they need to have ties to Nintendo? Not reality. It's a misunderstanding of his point. Which is "Characters who appear on a Nintendo system I may be more likely to approve of", but he would take Master Chief if he could find a way to implement him in a proper way that doesn't take away too much from his characterization, fits the gameplay settings, and he could come to a proper agreement. He's extremely iconic, and from a video game first, which is literally the only requirements needed officially. He's however the main character of a rival company's most notable series. So it's unlikely they'd say yes, nor would Nintendo be okay with this as much due to the rival part. This isn't like many other ones, since Halo, unlike a lot of other series, happens to be purely Xbox and PC. It doesn't have to be on Nintendo, but an exclusive series that is a rival one too can ultimately reflect badly among the companies because people would too heavily expect Halo on a Nintendo console after doing that. So making a decision like this could cause unnecessary complaints. It's like trying to put in Tingle as playable. He has the credentials, but the extreme hatred he has gotten can cause issues enough that it's not worth it. Mind you, he's gotten more popular over the years, but the US still has yet to get a Tingle game(due to being unpopular there, although it would need toning down since it has a lot of inappropriate stuff that would at least require a M for Mature rating, which is a bit odd to give to a Zelda game...).
Agree with all of these except Toad. Bring back Snake and add another third party newcomer like Bomberman, Eggman or Knuckles.
Your signature alone is why the Kroc should be in Smash, even though he should of already have been in this game to begin with.
I'd think a few more than two. Ice Climbers, Inklings and... Knuckles.
Isaac isn't Nintendo, though.
He hails from the Golden Sun series. It's second party.
I know that. Golden Sun was made by Camelot, not Nintendo. Nintendo merely published the game, which is the same role they had on, for example, the Bayonetta series, which is considered 3rd party.
I'm pretty sure nintendo owns the IP but not the characters, so it's a strange-ish situation.
I'm pretty sure Camelot owns the IP.
