:ultsonic: - Silver. Yeah, Shadow is cool, but think to yourself how cathartic it would be to chuck people all over the stage while yelling “it’s no use!”

:ultmegaman: - If it has to be Classic series, then Proto Man. If not, then Zero. Hell, his assist trophy almost has a whole moveset.

:ultsimon: - Alucard. There is no other option (although Julius would be funny just to annoy people).

:ultcloud: - Can I say Geno? He is technically Square Enix.

:ultryu: - Master Bison. There’s still not enough villains in Smash, and this guy is one of the best.

:ultbayonetta: - Preferably nobody, but if I had to pick, Rodin.

:ultsnake: - Either Big Boss as an Echo or Raiden. There aren’t really any other options.
Geno is my favorite FF7 party member.

:ultsonic:: Knuckles would usually be my go to, but Shadow would be good too... EggMan would also be fun but let the woodland creatures have their time.
:ultsnake:: Raiden. No one else- revolver ocelot - WhatWasThat!?
:ultmegaman:: Most of Me wants to say Tron Bonne (w/servbots of course) but Zero is clearly the Iconic X rep
:ultpacman:: Ms. Pacman (easy as pie?)...nobody really cares honestly, so just make her an alternate female choice for Pacman
:ultryu:: Chun Li ... Or Akuma ... yeah.
:ultcloud:: Estuans interius Ira vehementi Estuans interius Ira vehementi Sephiroth! ... or Kefka. Japanese voice yes please. We all need a little more Shiggy (Masaharu Maeda/ Shigeru Chiba) in our lives~
:ultbayonetta1:: As much as it pains me, J
eanne or Rodin are the only characters I know of from the franchise.
:ultsimon:: Alucard is super awesome and also deadly sexy

Considering Sonic was the 2nd most well-known video game series in the 90s, I'm surprised that we only have one representative at the moment. I'd like to see Tails, Shadow, Knuckles and Silver in the game, assuming none of them are echoes.

Sonic: Dr. Eggman, no question.
Metal Gear: Haven’t played so I can’t give an answer.
Mega Man: Zero, I’d love to see a mix of swordplay and projectiles.
PAC-MAN: No-one is actually important besides PAC-MAN, so I’ll leave it as just PAC-MAN.
Street Fighter: Vega
Final Fantasy: Chrono
Bayonetta: Haven’t played.
Castlevania: Alucard has as much development as an AT as a fully fledged character does.

Sonic: Dr. Eggman, definitely

Megaman: Dr. Wily. I'd love seeing all these classic villians together to fight with their respective heroes. Bass would be cool too though

Metal Gear: Either Gray Fox or Raiden

Castlevania: Alucard. One of my fave characters and his AT practically has a playable character level moveset!

Bayonetta: Jeanne as an echo fighter.

Don't want/care about anymore from the other series

None, but if I absolutely had to choose...
:ultsonic:: Shadow for hype, not an echo
:ultsnake:: No clue, sorry.
:ultmegaman:: Dr. Wily
:ultpacman:: Ms. Pac Man (echo)
:ultryu:: M. Bison (come on, he's not even a boss)
:ultbayonetta:: Jeanne. What? She already has the costume
:ultcloud:: Uhh. Someone. I feel like if I don't say Terra or Aeris someone will have my head.
:ultsimon:: Alucard, no question about it.
Persona: See MG

:ultsnake: - Raiden PLEASE
:ultmegaman: - Proto Man (Battle Network incarnation)
:ultpacman: - Mrs. Pac Man?
:ultryu: - Chun Li
:ultcloud: - Warrior of Light (Final Fantasy 1); if strictly from 7, then Sephiroth

Persona - Minato Arisato/Makato Yuuki

Got nothing for Castlevania/Bayonetta since I've never played those games

Going to stay away from any echoes.

Sonic: Dr. Robotnik AKA Eggman.

Metal Gear: Raiden

Megaman: Zero, even if he does feel a bit over played in crossover games.

Pacman - None.

Street Fighter - Chun Li. Such an iconic character really even if I never really liked her playstyle.

Bayonetta: Masked Lumen.

Castlevania: Alucard. As others have already stated, his moveset fits in really easily in smash. Especially among other assist trophies.

I could see him getting the upgrade button if third parties ever expand their rosters further, plus Richter and Simon are practically the same character.(Even Sektor and Cyrax's human alt costumes in MK9 have more differences.) So I don't really think adding him would make it so CV has "too many reps" or whatever.

:ultbayonetta:- Jeanne (Echo): Don't know much about the series, but she'd make a good Bayo echo.
:ultcloud:- Black Mage: Represent the more Nintendo-related and classic FF games, and also a cool new magic user.
:ultmegaman:- Bass (Semi-Clone): He could be pretty cool, get a new villain, and I have a little bit of nostalgia thanks to the Sonic Final Fantasy X games (dude IDK if I got that name right, I know it's some weird combination like that.)
:ultpacman:- Ms. Pac-Man (Echo): Really the only other choice for this series :laugh:
:ultryu:- Chun-Li: Chun-Li would make the most sense, and is a huge character in gaming history.
:ultsimon:- Alucard: I have very little experience with this series, and Alucard seems to be popular and would be super cool.
:ultsnake:- Raiden: Same reasons for Alucard.
:ultsonic:- Tails (Semi-Clone): He would borrow a move or two from Sonic, but would have a lot of unique moves too.
Edit:
:ultjoker:- Aegis: I'm very unfamiliar with the Persona series, but Aegis seems really cool. Jack Frost could also work.

Metal Gear: Liquid Snake?

Sonic: Shadow (Echo) or Tails (Unique). I’d love to play as either one of them, really.

Mega Man: Zero, mainly for X nostalgia.

PAC-MAN: I don’t think it’s feasible enough to add a second newcomer IMO.

Street Fighter: Chun-Li. She was always one of my favorite SF characters, and she’d make for a great female newcomer.

Final Fantasy: Terra, obviously. Protagonist of the best Nintendo-era FF game, unique spell caster with transformation mechanic, and another female newcomer to boot. Bartz would be another great character to add for the job-changing mechanic alone. Although if we’re only looking at FF7, then I suppose Tifa would do.

Bayonetta: I’m not too familiar with the series, but I think Jeanne would make for a great Bayo echo, so I say her.

Castlevania: Alucard. He’s practically made for Smash already.

Persona: Aegis. Having best robo-girl in Smash would be killer, especially since she’s already one of Persona’s unofficial mascots. Elizabeth would be another cool option.

My choice would be either Knuckles or Shadow for Sonic. Knuckle would be my next choice, but Shadow would be easier

Zero and Chun Li would also be fun choices.

I would also like to see Chocobo be either playable or assist.

I’m gonna do something a bit different and have both a unique newcomer and a new echo for each, if possible.


Metal Gear: Don’t know much about the series at all, but I’d say Raiden as unique and Big Boss as a Snake Echo, that works right?

Sonic: Dr Eggman as the unique for sure, he definitely deserves it the most. As for the echo, I’ve gotta day Shadow, he got snubbed so hard this game

Megaman: Zero as the unique, and, I think this would work, Protoman as the echo

Pacman: This is tough, obviously Mrs Pacman would be an easy echo with different fruit, and as for the unique, the only thing I can really imagine is the ghosts themselves acting as a sort of hive-mind fighter, could be cool

Street Fighter: Chun-Li would make for a unique newcomer, and Akuma I think could work as another ryu echo

Final Fantasy: SSF2 has shown how awesome Black Mage could be, so he’s the unique here. The only echo I think could work at all is Zach Fair, so he goes here too

Bayonetta: From what very little I know of the series, I think jeanne would be an easy echo, and Rodin could maybe work as a unique/semi-clone?

Castlevania: The unique I think would have to be Alucard, such an iconic character. As for the echo I honestly have no idea, maybe some other Belmont?

Persona: I know so little of the series that I’m honestly not going to try here

Thoughts?

Bayonetta: Rodin cuz idk who else to pick
Castlevania: Alucard
Persona : Uhhhhh...

Look behind you.
Title says it all folks. If you could choose another character from the 3rd party series already in Smash, who would you choose? We'll count Persona as well. If you can't think of anyone to add, just say "I don't know" or something.

  • Mega Man: Zero easily. No contest.
  • PAC-MAN: No Comment.
  • Metal Gear Solid: Raiden, but as he is in MGS4. My idea for Raiden is that he's an amalgamation of all of his appearances throughout the series. He'd borrow some moves from Snake, life his Side Special and Up Special, but he also has some moves from MGS Rising, while having his apperance from MGS4. So in other words, he's a semi-clone.
  • Street Fighter: My girl Chun Li. No futher explination needed.
  • Final Fantasy: Assuming Square Enix won't be a total A-hole with copyright, I'd go for either Cecil or Terra. I would also give a mention to Noctis as I like his teleportation and multiple weapons skill.
  • Bayonetta: No Comment.
  • Castlevania: Extremely tough call between Alucard and Soma Cruz, but I'd probably add Soma.
  • Persona: Minato Arisato, or the P3 protagonist. Best Persona game gets represented by the best protagonist.

Can Dr. Eggman and Dr. Wily be echo fighters? They're both scientists with rockin' moustaches riding around in floating round carriers.

:ultsnake:: Raiden.

:ultmegaman:: Tron Bonne
:ultpacman:: Ms. Pac-Man (echo, semi-unique, alt, anything, just use her already)
:ultryu:: Chun-Li
:ultcloud:: Tifa Lockheart
:ultbayonetta:: Rodin.
:ultsimon:: Alucard

I think you could squeeze in Soma as Alucard's Echo.

Dream characters? Kain and Raziel from Blood Omen and some of the cast from Chrono Trigger. Magus, Robo, and Crono specifically as I feel their fighting style could be best adapted to the game.

:ultsnake:: Raiden (the Metal Gear Rising version) - it seems like he'd bring more to the table than Big Boss, and if it means that we get Metal Gear Rising music, then I'm all for it.

:ultsonic:: Tails - tough call between Eggman, Tails, & Knuckles

:ultmegaman:: assuming that it's Mega Man as a whole and not just classic, Zero. If we're limiting it to classic Mega Man, Proto Man.

:ultpacman:: Taizo Hori/Dig Dug - Pac-Man is basically a collection of various retro Namco franchises in Smash

:ultryu::ultken:: Akuma

:ultcloud:: assuming that it's Final Fantasy as a whole and not just FF7, then Kefka

:ultbayonetta:: Jeanne

:ultsimon::ultrichter:: Alucard or, assuming that we can't bring in characters who are already assist trophies, Soma Cruz

Persona: not overly familiar with the Persona games (I'm only playing through Persona 5 now, and it's my first time playing a game in this series), but maybe Yu Narukami? (or whatever the name of the Persona 4 protagonist is)

- Alucard. Would totally ditch Richter for Alucard as a primary main. Symphony of the Night is so cool.

Sonic
- Tails. It seems like a great opertunity to add a unique character to the game.

Apart from Alucard and Tails though, I don't care enough for any other third party franchise that already exists in Smash Bros. I guess Zero from Mega Man could be in as well. Maybe Geno too if he counts as a Square Enix representative.

Since Bomberman and Shovel Knight are assist trophies, plus Ray-Man and Shantae are spirits, this would loophole into the playable for this thread, as long if it counts.

Knuckles. Knuckles is literally a Smash character and I'm very happy that he's an assist trophy. Knuckles is barely requested but has a near perfect mod because he's so obvious.

For Bayonetta, I'll throw in Rodin.

I don't think there's a character named Misuki in Persona. Also it's not confirmed that we'll get a Dragon Quest character.

Crap, I meant to say Kasumi (the new character in the Royal).

Final Fantasy - Black Mage, Chocobo, or Moogle... represents the series as a whole, so I think they should have gone for either of the three to begin with
Sonic - Dr Ivo "the Eggman" Robotnik, the classic Sonic antagonist and the only character as old as the titular character
Metal Gear - Either Raiden or the Boss, they'd be unique enough while both being central to the series
Pac-man - Nothing, Ms Pac-man could have been a nice alt costume, but I don't think anything else is needed
Street Fighter - Chun, 100%. We don't need more shotos and while Dictator is notable, he's not as iconic as Chun-Li is.
Castlevania - Alucard represents a whole new life for the series, it would have to be him. Soma and Trevor as runner-ups. Drac could have been cool if he wasn't already a boss.
Megaman - Zero seems like the logical choice there. If we are to abide by a "no ATs" rule, then Protoman.
Persona/SMT - Jack Frost. See my Final Fantasy line above, represents the series better, should have been him before Joker.
Bayonetta - Like Pac-man, I don't think she needs a second rep, if there had to be one, I suppose a Jeanne echo could be easily feasible. Maybe Balder.

Metal Gear: Big boss like a eco but can be a semi - clon: the mgs3 jab instead of the solid mgs2 jab (and can attack whit the knife multiple times like young link jab)
His Up-B:The Fulton like the end of a mission of peacewalker
Entrance:the parachute of the beggining of mgs3
For down tilt can use the the knife like in mgs3 when you are on the ground and use the knife
F tilt, U tilt o even the smashes can use other CqC moves, can use other weaopons etc.
Raiden I want him with mgs2 apeareance because I feel really weird if I see Mgs2 Solid Snake whit MGS4/Rising Raiden (but can be skins) his moves can be from mgs2 (like his jab, Dash attack, Nikita, Cypher) and from Rising (RULES OF NATURE)
Sonic:
Tails can be really fun, I enjoy fast and jumpy characters
Street Fighter: Chun li
Pac Man: no one
Megaman: Zero, because X Is in a Final smash
Final Fantasy: Tidus, I enjoy a lot FFX
Bayonetta: Jeanne like a echo
Persona: Yu from Persona 4 and Minato/Makoto... The blue hair from Persona 3
