I heard that Tails was planned as an Assist Trophy before being dismissed. Do you think he has a chance of coming back as one? He would be an unique one for sure and since I don't think Sonic needs another playable character, I wouldn't mind a second Assist Trophy for the series.
@SixWingedAsura (#3607): Mega Man is very likely, but not guarantee. Nintendo could very well disallow all new third-party characters or even discard third-party characters entirely. Keep this in mind. Castlevania characters are also very unlikely since Snake will probably return for SSB4. I highly doubt Wolf Link will be in the game or Geno. I'll accept Fire Emblem, even thought it's questionable and Zoroark since he's one of the most likely 5th Gen Pokemon (Along with Victini).
@Dark Paladin X: That's enough. We will never see Marvel characters in brawl, we will never have an excess of third-party characters, and I doubt that over four third-party characters will be included. You've already lost, either leave the thread or lower your expectations.[COLLAPSE="Quotes And Responses"]

I'm positive that Sakurai's "rules" aren't written in stone.
You people take these "rules" too seriously.
I doubt he will get in, but as long as Nintendo owns the rights, and if they were willing, I'm sure Captain N could get in
How are we taking the "rules" he wrote too seriously? Are you implying that Naruto stands a 0.[infinity]1% chance of getting into SSB4? Kevin is a comic/TV character, not a video game character, so he will
never get into Smash. Third-Party characters were never defined as "impossible".

Let's be honest here: Travis Touchdown and Jack aren't family friendly enough for a game like Smash Bros. As awesome as the first would be....(Taunt: Chargin' the sword...:D)
Being from a mature franchise does not rule out a character. Case in point, Snake.

Who else could fill the role of WTF final character once held by G&W/ROB?
I'd say Takamaru, but he is growing in popularity. I'd also say Goku, but that's impsosible. So uhhhhh, an obscure retro Nintendo/third-party character?

Could toon Zelda still have a chance even tho she was one of the 7 that did not make it in to brawl?
I'd say she has a chance, but not a very good one; although I think if The Legend of Zelda gets a rep, it'll be her.

Does anyone support Mother Brain?
mynameiscamden said:
Why? I mean sure it will be difficult, but it can be done.
There are like, no support for Mother Brain and I don't think Mother Brain has the potential to be a fighting character. She stands less then 10% of getting in and is best suited as an Assist Trophy or as a boss in place of Ridley who will almost certainly make his debut as playable character.

Um...no one else noticed that Metroid isn't in that roster at all? xD
I don't notice because if you look back, Samus is on there. He did make the poor choice of not including Ridley, thought, a near guarantee candidate.
as much as I understand your hate for either said:
Can Master/Crazy hand (or a miniature representation thereof) be included? Come on, it'd be awesome! It could walk on two fingers! And you'd have mini versions of certain attacks! Gun, pound, slap, ect!
Best suited as Boss, like they've always have been.

I'm beginning to wonder how much of a chance Xenoblade will have in terms of being a new series we see in the next Smash? It appears we are going to see Xenoblade localized, rumours are stating by September. If Sakurai was considering Saki Amamiya prior Star Successor, than why wouldn't Sakurai take a look at this series? It is a Nintendo IP that is doing fairly well in Japan and has some kind of following in the West. Would Shulk be such a surprising pick?
We'll have to see about that. Right now, I don't think we'll see Shulk in SSB4, but as new franchise created since last gen have always been the successive installment in at least one time; I'll keep him in mind. His chance will go up if he goes worldwide.[/COLLAPSE][COLLAPSE="mynameiscamden's Character Roster Review"]
I think I've come up with a fairly reasonable character roster
I've underlined the universes and put the unlockable characters in bold.
There should be 47 over all. Tell me what you think
Mario I don't think we'll be seeing Toad in Smash. Replace him with Bowser Jr.
Mario
Peach
Bowser
Luigi
Toad
Pokemon
Pikachu
Pokemon Trainer
Jigglypuff
Zoroark
Mewtwo
The Legend of Zelda Tingle? Seriously? I don't think we're even getting a fifth Zelda rep, but Tingle would make a horrible addition and is very unlikely.
Link
Zelda/Sheik
Ganondorf
Toon Link
Tingle
Star Fox Slippy stands almost zero chance of getting in. The only one with much of a chance in the first place is Krystal. No one else has the move set potential to be playable.
Fox
Falco
Wolf
Slippy
Kirby
Kirby
Meta Knight
King Dedede
Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong
Diddy Kong
King K. Rool
Fire Emblem
Marth
Ike
Micaiah
EarthBound We don't need two semi-clones a la Star Fox. One is more then enough.
Ness
Lucas
Ninten
Other (Nintendo) You really shouldn't have clutter these character up like this. Anyway...
Where's Ridley? Medusa? Saki Amamiya/Isa Jo? Takamaru? Those four stands much better of a chance then Jill (Who doesn't have much of a chance, especially not on the Wii-U version). You're missing some serious potential candidates here.
Yoshi
Samus
Capt. Falcon
Ice Climbers
Mr. Game & Watch
Wario
Pit
Olimar
Isaac
Jill
Little Mac
R.O.B.
Ray MK III
Third Party
Sonic
Snake
Megaman
Roster numbers are reasonable and some of the newcomers do have a good chance of coming in, but there are a couple of questionable ones and some really awful choices while making terrible omissions of likely characters as well. You did, however, keep the likely returning vets intact, so I'll give you credit for that.
Not as bad of a roster as I thought it would be, so I'll give you a 70/100. There are some areas I would work on, thought.[/COLLAPSE]
