Next Possible Third Party?

[Mandalore]

Bomberman is a terrorist and should not be allowed.

Link chucks bombs around too and he's already blown himself and others up many-a-times in past games. I think that bomb-related terrorism is allowed.

Ultra Mega Mega Man ftw

- Tails should not be in - We'd be lucky to get two characters from the same developer, let alone the same franchise
- I vote against Ryu, or anyone from a fighting game
- Viewtiful Joe?? He's been around for what, 2 games? There's no way he deserves a spot on the Smash Roster. As far as 3rd parties go, that's reserved for the elite, which would definitely include Sonic, Mega Man and Snake. They've all been around for a while.

 

[brandutt845]

Tails has no chance, i would like Crono, but if square lends a character i guess it would be someone else, so megaman sounds the most likely, but i still think he wouldnt fit that well cause he is already in other fighting games with a very different style... but yet again i didnt really think sonic would make it

Instead of Tails u shouldve put bomberman, he has more chances, but still, the one i would want is definetely Crono, i wouldve wanted to play as him again since Chrono Trigger, and that was a loooong time ago

I forgot about him. I think I should change it. HE has better chances.

Wasnt Crono on a Nintendo console?(Correct me if I'm wrong). I can definitely see him fit IN Brawl, but Megaman is a definite fit.

That list was just based on who I would like.

 

[kilroy]

Simon freaking Belmont FTW.

I needn't say more.

ya know, ODL, i would also love Simon. but the problem for me is, i *hate* his new character design. blech.

if they designed him more classic, then great, but i doubt they would.

what do you think of Simon's new look?

 

[Demon Kirby]

Don't care. I WANT DEDEDE!! YEAH!

 

[Dr. UnKnown]

I, personally, am hoping for Sora
Megaman would be nice though

THREAD BUMP>
Why? Because i think everyone should sit back and take a good look at joe and see, at the very least his potential for brawl. I mean hes got all the qualifications. He's been on a nintendo platform, hes from a considerably big developer in capcom, whos known to be friendly with the big N, and hes has a fair sized fan based. Plus Joe is the definition of brawler.

Im not saying theres really any people who dedicate their lives to this franchise, but there are alot of people who would be pleased to see him in the game, including me. And if u say he's not popular enough to make it into smash, i'd say ur right and that's exaclty why he should be there. Virtual unknowns like marth and roy made it in melee and people loved them. Joe would be the perfect unexpected character for sakurai to mindgame us with.
If i had to pick 3 third party characters it would be snake, sonic and viewtiful joe.

Please help keep this thread alive until sakurai is convinced to add him if he hasn;t already.

Viewtiful Joe
Speed: Fast
Strength: Moderate
Combo potential: Insane(Could be the new fox)
Taunt: "Henshin-A-GO-GO-BABY!"(His signiture catchphrase used when he transforms from his alter ego)

Up B: Air Joe- IN the game an air combo, but for brawl a recovery that somehow uses his ridiculously long scarf thing to propel him up in the air.

Side B: Voomerang-Launches the V on his head across stage, when charged expand into x to do twice the damage1

Normal B: Spinning kicks- whirls in the air in an endless spinkick that can deflect projectiles.(idea from chief mendez)

Down B: Slide-Slides along ground and launches enemy into air, opening them up for combos.

Final Smash: Red Hot 100- Uses VFX powers from his game to slow everyone down, then speed up him self, giving him free shot and KO's on all enemies!

Stage: Movie land. Where the game takes place. Could be a cell-shaded level with a movie like feel, moving stage, car chases, explosions in the background. Cool stuff like that.

(Feel free to point out mistakes for names/effects of some attacks since i don't remember all of them)

Oh hell's yeah.
P.S. I made this a while ago, and since sonic's confirmed, all I need is Joe and not only will i be legally psychic, but I'll be a very happy man.

 

[smash_fo_life]

NiGHTS or crono

 

[BoG]

Ok. Here is how it SHOULD be.

Megaman: A good choice.
Megaman X: NO.
Bomberman: NO.
Bonk: Would rock, but won't happen
Simon Belmont: Would be AWESOME!
Richter Belmont: once again, would be AWESOME!
Sora: NO.
Black Mage: Would be way cool.
Cecil Harvey: PLEASE!!!!!!!!! My most wanted 3P character, also one I consider very likely.
Tails, Kuckles, amy: NO, NO, AND NO
Viewtiful Joe: Would be awesome, but its not happening.
Ryu: I can see it happening, and it would be cool.
Pac Man: Please, ANYONE BUT PAC MAN.

 

[distr0ia]

at this point, I can hardly bring myself to ask for MORE, but the blue bomber would be right at home smashin' it up

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

A) Geno may be owned by Square but he still is a Mario series rep...
B) The characters (Excluding Geno for said reasons) that have the most chance are:

1) Megaman
2) Bomberman

a very distant
3) Simon Belmont

...I don't see Pac Man as having that big of chance...but who knows...

 

[Solharath]

If they did Tails right... He could be an interesting and technical character. Lord knows he'd be in better, more capable hands then Sega or Sonic team nowadays...

But, although Tails is my favorite Character of the Sonic series from the old days, I'm gonna go with Knuckles on this one. Sora just wouldn't fit the atmosphere of Smash, while Sonic already had a Smash-esque game(Sonic Battle. It sucked sorta, but meh). Knuckles is a born and bred fighter, with Strength to boot. It's about god-dang time he was shown as a guy who wasn't meaninglessly tracking Emeralds, keys, or shards.

 

[Johnknight1]

Geno sneaks in as a MARIO CHARACTER, while Megaman steals the last spot. Everyone is happy. [end thread]

 

[BlublacMH]

I have a list of four, all of them pretty likely IMO :

1. Megaman- Capcom rep, has been on Nintendo systems forever. Stacks up with the other two gaming icons in this game and Capcom is plenty friendly with Nintendo. (Who else besides Nintendo can THINK about developing a Zelda game?) He's probably the most likely of the four, but my only worry is he may be a clone of Samus and/or Kirby (for the shooting and copying abilities)

2. Black Mage- Square Enix rep, Square was cool with Nintendo back in the day, and after a brief affair with Sony its back to its roots. Lets not forget Mario Hoops, which pitted Mario chars vs. FF chars. I think that if SquareEnix gets a rep it will be someone from that game, and Black Mage would be a good choice.

3. Rayman- Ubisoft rep, Ubisoft has gotten pretty friendly with Nintendo in the past generation, Rayman Raving Rabbids was one of the (if not the) best selling third party games on the Wii. May not be as likely as the other two, but a good rep nonetheless

4. Pac-Man- Namco rep, I'll be honest, the only reason Pac-Man is here is for iconic purposes. Melee had G&W, why shouldnt Brawl have an equally revolutionary character? The only bad is that he probably is the least likely of the four, as Namco hasnt (in my vision) shown any real favortism towards Nintendo, they're just another third party.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Geno sneaks in as a MARIO CHARACTER, while Megaman steals the last spot. Everyone is happy. [end thread]

That's most likely what will happen

 

[volbound1700]

I want Megaman but from rumors and facts I have been hearing... bomberman is more likely then any other third party.

Still unsure on Pacman, don't count him out.

 

[thrak]

sora sora sora sora sora sora megaman sora sora sora megaman pacman(eww) sora sora sora sora sora megaman sora megaman megaman sora...
Yup, I'd have to go with crono and ryu on this one...

BTW...
uumm.. u no dedede = nintendo, right? of course u do how silly of me.

and DO NOT call me a sora fanboy!!!

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I'd be happy with either Bomberman or Megaman...Though I like Megaman, Bomberman was the character that I have wanted in Smash since just after 64...voted for him on the Melee poll, not knowing at the time that he was 3rd party...mainly because all his games up to that point were all on nintendo system.

...as long as Geno sneaks in as a Mario character, either of those two are fine

 

[Kooichi]

Defiantly Phoenix Wright :DD

jk XD

I bet the last one will be Geno.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Megaman for Brawl. Megaman FTW.

 

[Red_Maniac]

4. Pac-Man- Namco rep, I'll be honest, the only reason Pac-Man is here is for iconic purposes. Melee had G&W, why shouldnt Brawl have an equally revolutionary character? The only bad is that he probably is the least likely of the four, as Namco hasnt (in my vision) shown any real favortism towards Nintendo, they're just another third party.

They worked together on Star Fox Assault, F-Zero GX, Pac-Man Vs, Mario Kart Arcade GP and the sequel, and Namco has a bunch of Namco Museum titles on Nintendo platforms.

Face it: Namco + Nintendo = BFF

*snip*

Sorry dude, if Capcom gets a rep, it's gonna be Mega Man. Viewtiful Joe just hasn't earned a spot on Brawl's roster. It should be reserved for the ELITE. If you let VJ in, you have to (potentially) let in just about anybody.

 

[Heavyarms2050]

http://boards.ign.com/super_smash_bros_/b5213/152057607/p1/?28
a very plausible theory and facts that mega man might be the new third party character

 

[BoG]

Cecil for brawl.
No, its not a distant dream. Why not?
1.Strong SE Nintendo relationship recently
2.Cecil is the main character of an iconic FF game, one that is very fondly remembered, considered a revolutionary RPG.
3.FFIV has been on 2 different Nintendo consoles so far.
4.FFIV is being re-made for the DS, and his inclusion in brawl could benefit both companies.
5.I would argue a character with a name and personality may be somewhat more likely then black mage, as it's connection to the 3rd party is easier to identify.
6.Final Fantasy is huge worldwide, so why not?

Why he might not be in-
1.That square fighting game. I guess that takes his chances down a bit.

I really think this 3rd spot is going to be Cecil, Megaman, or simon belmont. no doubt in my mind.

 

[MFZ95]

Scorpion from Mortal Kombat!, Explain MKA for Wii!

 

[Joka]

MegaMan
Klonoa
Sora

Oh my!

 

[Izaw]

Megaman <3

Expecting this short film on the Dojo anytime now.

"Megaman join the Brawl!" .. :D

 

[antfoo]

It'll be megaman. Everyone knows who megaman is...
who the hell is Geno? Sora?

 

[NintendoWarrior]

If Geno or anyone else beats out Mega Man I will be highly upset. Mega Man deserves. Not Geno or anyone else.

 

[whiterob]

IMO It'll be Megaman. I don't want it to be him, I would much rather have Ryu, someone from Resident Evil, Sora, or Simon Belmont, but I don't think any of them will be in over Megaman.

Edit: Geno might get in over Megaman, or Geno could go under Mario's group and then they both would be in.

 

[Tsc_Nightmare]

Banjo & Kazooie!!! they already have there own move set from the game... would be a cool gliding character... but not going to happen ;( I loved them too Darn you RARE!

 

[Brockman5]

I really don't care who gets the next third party slot...

 

[SirroMinus1]

1. Sora(Kingdom Hearts)
2. Megaman
3. Ryu from Street fighter xD

sora is definitely not going to make it. its not even a possibility. his two main games were on the ps2. his stupid little chain memories did not really help nintendo out.
there will be no more 3rd party characters and if so one more character from MGS & sonic.

 

[NintendoWarrior]

No Geno. He isn't even a classic character.

 

[Problem2]

Ryu from Street Fighter would definitely be a good character, as slim a chance as he has. Smash needs some fighting genre rep and a Little Mac AT isn't going to cut it.

 

[Rex+]

Actually, Sega worked with Nintendo on GX. Just pointing that out.
The next third party slot probably belongs to Megaman (hopefully X, even though his chances are low). Capcom and Nintendo have been through so much together, it wouldn't make sense not to put him in.
Either him or Geno, even though I don't care for Geno.

 

[konoha107]

Pac-Man and MegaMan have the most chances. Though after Dedede got it, I don't know pretty much anything anymore...

 

[Deleted member]

Eh, I have a feeling for either Megaman or Bomberman. I have a BIGGER FEELING for GENO.

 

[F@lc0-san]

I'm still rooting for Ryu, he'd make an awesome smasher.

Namco also helped out... but mostly with the arcade version.

At the AOU Amusement Expo in mid-February 2002, Nintendo announced that an arcade board under the name of "Triforce" was being developed in conjunction between Nintendo, Namco, and Sega. In an a follow-up interview held in London, Miyamoto said announcements will be made revealing several software titles that will make use of the hardware. The first occurred in late March 2002 and was from Sega's Amusement Vision.[6] The announcement revealed Sega's subsidiary Amusement Vision and Nintendo will collaborate to release F-Zero video game titles for the Triforce arcade board and the Nintendo GameCube.[1] While Amusement Vision was responsible for most of the game's development, Nintendo EAD executives including Shigeru Miyamoto, Takaya Imamura, and Isshin Shimizu, took on leading roles.[6] Nintendo revealed the first footage of F-Zero GX at the Pre-E3 press conference on May 21, 2002 in video gaming|2002]]. While the game was known to exist several months prior, it had remained behind closed doors until that conference.

Nintendo, SEGA and Namco worked together on the Triforce arcade board.
