You and I just see it differently, which is perfectly fine. It would be wise from a business perspective for both companies and from a fanbase perspective. There will not be as much of a backlash as there was with Snake, or as there would be if Ryu usurped Megaman. There is no set Square character, so the situation is much less defined.

In any situation I will be relatively happy as I enjoy many of Square Enix's series. So I will be content.
I see there being backlash for virtually any SE character being picked. I mean, you add Slime, WHAT? NO BLACK MAGE!? You add Black Mage UMMMM? WHY?? You pick Cloud WTH!? SLIME OR BLACK MAGE, PLEASE.

Don't ever add Chrono.

I honestly think adding Ryu over Megaman would be the biggest backlash in Smash history. Although I would prefer it.

@5thGen

It's not so much about fan demand, it's more about the fact that it's just going to happen...

True, but I think regardless of what happens we will have both Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy content together in some way. Either way people will get over it. Too bad Chrono didn't have a better chance...

Yes, Ryu over Megaman would probably lead to the most hate filled internet environment I probably could or would ever see. While I would be upset and would find it to be an ignorant decision; but I will confess, the tears and crying would be hilarious.

Or Capcom can give a big middle finger to fans and throw in Servbot as a character instead.

If they were going to go with a joke character they could use Phoenix Wright for all that.

By the way, looks like Microsoft is set to launch a new Xbox in 2012-2013.

If we're going with unlikely characters, let's make me happy and pick Jill Valentine. Lord knows what I want to see in Smash, I won't. I'm looking at you Krystal. AND you, Deoxys.

My choices are BAD, they're just not the best...

UGH. EVEN I WOULD PREFER MEGAMAN.

By the way, looks like Microsoft is unveiling a new Xbox in 2012-2013.
Uh oh, which will sell more worldwide? Wii U or Xbox720(lol at the name)

It will be interesting to see what Nintendo does. There is rumor the developers are having trouble with the hardware and Nintendo's response has been cutting back on clock speed performance and downgrading chips instead of spending more time to correct the issues. Reason being they do not want to risk pushing back the release date into the Fall, possible Winter season. With it looking as though Microsoft will likely unveil the Xbox successor at next years E3 this will possibly push Nintendo to continue on with their, rumored, course. It will also mean Nintendo is going to force something to be shown about Super Smash Bros as it is about the only title that could take the spotlight away from the next Microsoft system and place it onto the Wii U. I am sure we will get a cinematic trailer of some kind even if Nintendo creates, or does create one independent of Project Sora.

For Nintendo's sake, I sure hope they don't downgrade the system. That was the whole selling point of the Wii U: HD graphics, and a system powerful enough to be a PS3.5. If they take that away, then I see a fairly abysmal future for the Wii U. Of course, I could be wrong. Still, at the risk of being selfish and shallow, I really don't want Nintendo to downgrade their system.

The Wii U is really making me nervous, I mean IT LOOKS like what we've been waiting for in terms of graphics, 3rd party games, innovation, the choice to use the "innovation" or to stick to old controllers all sounds awesome. But so did the 3DS, and look how that did. NOW, I think the 3DS is an AWESOME system. Honestly, the 3D gaming it just beyond what I imagined it to be. I never thought I would say that 3D gaming was a good idea, because it was. IT WAS.

I just fear the Wii U will flop sales wise, especially with the new Wii model coming out? Why would Nintendo put the spotlight back on the Wii? I mean, releaseing the new Kirby, TLS, and Xeno is one thing, but a new Wii model is a whole different story. I find it silly.

HOPEFULLY, things turn out well. But, you never know. I will never buy a Microsoft system. Sony? Yes. Nintendo? Duh. But not Microsoft.

Actually, Slime and Mario have been in the same game before in Itadaki Street DS. So if "Fortune Street" is the English name, then does that mean America may actually see a U.S. release of the game finally? Also, we can't rule out Fnal Fantasy, seeing as Mario Hoops 3-on-3 was developed by Square and included White Mage, Black Mage, Moogle, etc.. Still, I'd see Slime being a more likely candidate based on current relations. Professor Layton would be an interesting addition. I wouldn't know what kind of moveset he'd have, but Nintendo will most likely think of something. If not, then I guess an Assist Trophy will have to do.
Actually, Professor Layton would never be an Assist Trophy, why? Simple, because it just won't benefit both parties, the negociations concerning Level-5 with Sakurai wouldn't be worth the trouble and money just to add him as a simple AT, it wouldn't be worth it whatsoever do put a 3rd party character in such a situation.

As for Slime, yes; I am aware that he indeed had a previous game with Mario that was "Street Hoops" I think? As for Fortune Street, yes it's going to release as a Wii exclusive soon, in fact it will come out in the states in December of this year, and yes, it's a crossover between Mario and the Dragon Quest series, another reason why I believe he is very likely.

I wasn't aware that Blabk Mage was I'm a Nintendo game with Mario as well? In any case, if we do get a square rep, I see getting Chocobo since he's actually the iconic square rep, let's face it moogles just wouldn't fit as a character for Smash unless they sized him, in any case I see Slime+Chocobo being a likely tag team if it were to come as that as well.

Any third party company with a brain would be interested in Smash Bros. I'm sure VanillaWare would love to get Momohime into Smash.
Of course anybody can be interested in Smash, but the fact of the matter is, not many are willing to show it, if this were the case we would have a ton of 3rd party characters trying to be in Smash and all the 3rd party companies trying to win Sakurai's interest, which is something I haven't seen yet.

@BanjoKOSMOS

Really? How popular is the franchise she is from? I was expecting her to be a Diddy.
She is actually pretty popular, so much that she was in a Namco X Capcom game in Japan.

Oasis, that's just creepy...reaaaaaally creepy. I'm scared...

Anyway, I guess Olimar's returning...yay for prophecies!:D

On to a new topic: Who would you guys say are the ten most likely retro characters, in order? Just a random question to fuel discussion...

Wow, where did such an article come to pass about Nintendo's system doing such bad? Hopefully that won't be the case, I am actually looking forward to see if they can actually make it a "beast" of a sysymtem without any complications or flaws, it's kinda of a shame since it's suppose to be a next generation console, even though it's the dawn of the next era; there is no excuse for the Wii-U not to be at least as powerful as the PS3 and 360, heck, it shouldn't even be considered near them, it should surpass them by a large degree, Nintendo definetly does have me worried, I am hoping they will make a right decision and either, fix the problems they are facing with the Wii-U or push the release date back a little, that way it would be fine, as for Smash at E3 2012, yeah I can pretty much say it will probably steal the show and probably gain the most attention if we do indeed get a Smash 4 cinematic trailer, maybe even overlook Microsoft's rumored system.

Only Oasis, Omega, Opossum, and Opelucid On at Once?

The O's cOmeth.

Uh... Onox for Sm4sh?
Yup, we O's are OG's, we O so
cool. :cool:

Well, let's see here, even though I'm not familiar with a bunch of retro, I will provide my own plus others that have been suggested...

1) King Wart
2) Duck Hunt Dog
3) Lip
4) Mach Rider
5) Takamaru
6) .....

Okay, I couldn't think of any others I actually want that are considered retro. D: But hey, at least I listed my top 5 retro picks right? :awesome:

if I had to pick one from my list I'd definetly would go with Lip since she seems like an interesting unique character, perhaps a puzzle like stage could happen as well?

That wouldn't be as community-dividing as when say, Freddy Krueger got announced for Mortal Kombat (trust me, I was there), but it would still be pretty bad.

@Omega- I totally agree, no third-party characters will ever be an AT unless they're supporting characters to a third-party fracnhise already represented with a main, playable one (i.e. Tails)

Yes, characters like Tails or Shadow should be playable if they are significant enough to the series, in my opinion, I'd rather have Knuckels, sadly, he probably won't happen. :(

This is the most biased list I have ever read.
And......what's your point? At least I'm contributing with the thread, you however have done NOTHING but flame and throw out useless comments towards users, get your act together, contribute and stop criticizing, or shut up and get out, we don't need useless comments being spurred around, geez....<_<

and btw, Oppusum asked for my opinion get it!!!!??

Well it's true, I don't know what problem he may be having but I for one won't stand for it.

Moving on....

So yeah, 3rd parties aren't likely to ever be AT's at all, it's a lose situation since the 3rd part character wouldn't exactly get as much exposure from the said series thus not being potentially advertised to it's fullest, I don't see it happening, but yeah, a good and new Sonic stage should definetly happen, like I've said numerous times, either City Escape HD, Jungle Forest, Angel Zone or Casino Park would be epic indeed. :bee:

I am not being dramatic, unlike you. All I said was it was incredibly biased. Note he did not ask YOU for YOUR opinion. It bothers me because in the future a similar question will pop up and will be the same but a different order because you can never make up your own opinions.

If you can't take it, take a hike. No one here is going to point out anything besides praise you which is bad.

Yup, it only makes sense to do so, swing as we already got Green Hill Zone in Brawl as Classic Sonic's stage; it's only fair we should get the most iconic stage related to Modern Sonic, seeing as Sonic Generations is relevant with it, I could definetly see it happening indeed, it would be one of my most enjoyed stages as well.

As for Silver....get out wit that ****, have Vector or Knuckels instead. :p

Would definitely not want that to happen, but knowing Capcom and the franchise being a revolution, it would not surprise me. I'd be very disappointed, although I'd get over it.

Yeah, I figured that much. Hell, Vaati and Ghirahim have better chances at appearing with Skyward Sword around the corner, and Four Swords having been released for DSi/3DS for download.

Still, I would like to see a sexy pair of legs grace Smash 4... which is why I'm hoping for Rosalina. If she ever makes it (and it's a big "if"), you can bet I'll main her off the get-go. XD
Rosalina's inclusion is rather doubtful right now, seeing as she only appeared in two mainstream games.

I guess Banjo could be considered IF RARE got interested?
:phone:
Even then, Banjo would probably be restricted to the 3DS.

well considering she's been confirmed for Mario Kart 7 after having appeared in MKW too, this might get her chances of appearing in spinoffs higher

Frank West isn't likely, though that would be really funny. Idk I just
think Capcom has better options than him.

I could see some crazy movesets for that guy.

You're being a childish brat, and if you don't like it, take that hike you suggested to all of us.

Listy of retro's I would like to see:

1. Donkey Kong Jr.
2. Sheriff (Revamp)
3. Excited Biker (I like him because he's dumb)
4. Mach Rider
5. Stanley the Bugman (Retro, I think)

Frank West isn't likely, though that would be really funny. Idk I just
think Capcom has better options than him.
You want to see game rage? Do that. Add ANY Capcom character over Megaman, and you'll have a group of pissed off, hyper sensative Megaman fans who think Capcom is "ACTUALLY KILLING HIM OFF!".
