You know what would be hilarious? If Sakurai shows off a Pokemon character tomorrow for Pokemon Bank...

0.0000000000001% chance of that happening, but still hilarious.

It would probably be a Poke Ball Pokemon, much like with Xerneas. Perhaps Yveltal will get a cameo in the future.

When the Mafrio series had all of he returning brawl veterans confirmed, the next newcomer announced was Rosalina, a Mario character.
Samurai chose to get put all Mario characters, then announce its newcomer.

Now with both Zelda and Toon Link being confirmed, I think Ganondorf is close to being confirmed too (unless he gets cut that it) and then we can finally see the Zelda newcomer (TINGLE FTW!!!)

@The Real Gamer:

I just noticed something.
Zelda seems to be more like her TP Concept Art rather than her TP Model.


Note the coloration of the "flap" in front of her dress.

And if the smash 4 model looks like zeldas twilight princess concept art.....

Wolverine Ganondorf TP concept art confirmed.

And you say this why?
Because for him to get it, we'd have to not get Ganondorf, OR we'd end up with 6 Zelda characters.

Idk, I think other newcomers out-prioritize him. I say we got 9 slots left for newcomers.

So I'd say:
Palutena
Ridley
Shulk
Impa
Takamaru

and a number of others take focus over him.

I've found something similar:

When Sakurai announces characters in an already-existing series, he finishes off the series soon after.

While some characters were introduced early (Olimar, Sonic & Marth) it's because they're the head of their respective series, and are often popular.

Now, look at the reveal order:
Mario
Link
Samus
Kirby
Fox
Pit
Donkey Kong
Pikachu
Bowser
Villager
Mega Man
Wii Fit Trainer
Olimar
Luigi
Peach
Toon Link
Sonic
Marth
Rosalina
Zelda

The only series to receive more than 1 veteran reveal so far would be Mario and Zelda. Now, Mario has been completed. But before it was completed, another character to Zelda was added. This means that there can be a wait between reveals for certain series, but it will end before another series is completed.

So, before we see a Zelda newcomer, we'll see Ganondorf. And, likely, we'll have several prerequisites:

Bandanna Dee: Meta Knight & King Dedede
Chrom: Marth & Ike
King K. Rool: Diddy Kong
Ridley: ZSS
Mewtwo: Pokemon Trainer, Jigglypuff, Lucario

And so on.

I guess someone at Nintedo likes south park, because they saw they have a charachter that is half man, half pig, and they decided to make him also be half bear in that picture.

It's Majora's Mask wrapping itself around Ganondorf.
So.... all the characters in smash are still TP designed for no apparent reason....

Alot of MM references in nintendo's games thus far....

That concept art.....

MM remake and TP Wii U sequel with MM stuff confir- *bricked*

That's Zelda right before transforming.
It MIGHT be, but it's not certain, the lack of light and sparkles, and the fact that the hands poses are different prove otherwise.

It could also be the the start-up pose for Nayru's Love/Farore's Wind.

I'm still not entirely sure.... the pose is not entirely identical, I still think its a Jo Jo reference since namco is helping making the game. But again its gonna be super fun watching people go back and forth on this.

... I'll get the popcorn ready.

It isn't for no reason. There is no Skyward Sword Ganondorf OR Skyward Sword Sheik. They kept the Twilight Princess design so they don't have to cut two veterans for brand new characters, and also so they don't have to come up with entirely new designs for Sheik or Ganondorf.

Anyway, I am seeing the Phantom as either a Neutral or Side Special if not an assist trophy.

Then why go from OOT to TP? the OOT was just fine.

I think its a little bit more than that, but i'll keep my theories to myself :awesome:

Also designs have no influence on cuts whatsoever, if anything it could have been a brawl port and just kept it that way.... but idk that seems lazy to me, I think its because of something else....

To Sakurai, I think actual characters don't matter when balancing out series.
I think that it is SLOTS that matter, because in Brawl, both the Zelda AND Pokémon series had more actual characters than the Mario series.

Mario - 4 Characters
Mario
Luigi
Peach
Bowser

Zelda - 5 Characters
Link
Zelda
Sheik
Ganondorf
Toon Link

Pokémon - 6
Pikachu
Squirrel
Ivysaur
Charizard
Jigglypuff
Lucario


If each series gets a single non-transforming newcomer (which Mario is already confirmed to have)that would keep the balancing series characters the same as Brawl.

Because going from Ocarina of Time to Twilight Princess, they could keep the characters they had, not do extra unnecessary work to create entirely new designs from scratch, and use a more recent design. It's... not that complicated.

And to say that they have no influence isn't entirely true. There are plenty of things that can go into removal of a character. And if it came down to a choice between making a new design for a character that they don't have the time to make in their development schedule and cutting the character, then they would do what they have to. And as random people who have nothing to do with their last 22 months of development, there's not exactly a way for us to know if they have run into any walls of "make something new from scratch or leave it / or cut it".

I don't think Sakurai ever cared much about representation. What I meant by what I said was that there are other characters that I think have a better shot of getting in over all.

The JoJo jokes are fun to make, but there's no way it's an actual reference. Nintendo doesn't like referencing things they have almost nothing to do with. They prefer stroking their own ***** instead. ¦D

Wolverine Ganondorf TP concept art confirmed.

That looks all kinds of badass. I'd welcome it with open arms. <3

That concept art of Ganondorf looks more like a mid-transformation between his human form and his Ganon form. I am also pleasantly surprised by who we have thus far.

So who do you think will be announced next?

A character that introduces a new or already existing series? Ex: Ice Climbers or Little Mac?

Or

A character that adds another character to a series roster?

It depends on if we have a big January Direct next month like last year.
If so, it depends on what games the Direct focuses on.

If Hyrule Warriors, Ganondorf (hopefully awesome Wolverine Ganondorf)
If Yarn Yoshi, Yoshi
If last minute Tropical Freeze info, Diddy (whether he be on a Dixie team or not)
If MarioKart, I have no idea, maybe Wario
Though it could focus on multiple games of these and reveal more than one veteran.

But chances are they will announce at least one new game, as they announced Yarn Yoshi, WWHD, and X all at that Direct. So I really do not know.

Also, there can be the next big Smash Bros trailer, with newcomers and veterans.

Celebii reveal (as a pokeball) tommorow to coincide with Pokemon bank?
Didn't you hear? Pokebank conspired with Christmas to brick the eShop. The release date is now TBD for America and Europe, and is closed "until further notice" in Japan.

What a fail LOL.
Haven't played X in like two months. Post-game content is ridiculous. I was hoping that the Bank would bring me interest in the game again...
