Let's be real, THIS track needs to be in the next Smash.Faaaaaaaiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaa Eeeeeeemburemuuuuuu! Is confirmed for Smash Bros.!
Why characters will get cut is the same reason others have already been cut...Cuts discussion again. Poorjust can't catch a break lol.
But y'know what why not. Who do you guys expect to get cut in the next Smash Bros game? While I believe there's a possibility that Smash 5 may be the first Smash game without cuts these are the characters who I would think have a possibility of getting the axe in a new Smash Bros game.
The winner of the popularity poll and is owned by the 3rd Party company with the tightest ties to Nintendo?
Bayonetta I feel is a lock to never get cut because she won the Ballot. Don't even like Bayonetta but I doubt Sakurai is going to cut the Ballot winner.That being said, I hope no characters will be cut.
I think both Cloud and Ryu are little more well known and liked
- I'm very confident in their return, but not 100% confident of course. - I'm not very confident in his return, but I'm not pessimistic about it either. - I think his chances are slim.
Funny that you mention this because Cloud can very well end up being Smash 4's Snake.
Except they didn't get in through a ballot that Smash fans voted on. Bayonetta got the most votes out of realisable characters on said ballot.
I mean... Mr. Fighting Game, Street Fighter is the definitive fighting game, Smash likely wouldn't exist if it weren't for Capcom's juggernaut...also Capcom being one of the best third party supporters for Nintendo... Won the frikking Ballot....the ONLY character taken from the ballot...The Fans voted and this is who the majority chose and that's who they picked for the final DLC character....Also Sega being one of the best third party supporters to Nintendo...Ummm...remember when the internet basically EXPLODED when he was announced as a DLC character? One of the most iconic swordsmen out there (look at my sig)...the only problem is Square doesn't have quite as good of a relationship with Nintendo than the other three (including Namco) third party companies on board in Smash....though it's safe to say it may very well be improving greatly, especially if Nintendo actually manages to have a system strong enough to hold Final Fantasy games again...also Square Enix is already confirmed to be a third party supporter for the NX with the new Dragon Quest being one of the first games announced for the system......I'm pretty confident in all of them making a return...they're almost not even third party considering how involved the companies were in smash 4...
Well, we'll have to see if she's still relevant years from now to merit and inclusion
,,,: These guys are arguably the most iconic characters of gaming (especially Mega Man and Pac Man); if they removed any of them, it'd be a slap to the face for fans.: Currently my main, the amount of hype (and salt for me at first) that Cloud generated upon his announcement showed how shocked and happy people were to see him come into Smash Bros. To be entirely honest, Square Enix and Nintendo's relationship are improving anyway, so I doubt we'll see this guy go anytime soon if things go as the way they are.: Yeah.... about Bayonetta; I honestly am uncertain about what her fate would be. Yes, the fact that she was the ballot winner (despite the fact I don't agree upon this, but that's just my view) seems to make her safe from being cut. If she were removed, it would generate a lot of anger from fans of her and would not bring a good image on the series. I'm honestly 50-50 overall; if she gets cut, then I am sorry for her fans, but if she stays, I guess I'm cool with that as long as the roster expands with more characters later on.
Then we fill the roster with 58 4th party characters right? Just to screw with everything.
Literally this. Kamiya even said Sakurai could have Bayo when ever he wanted for smash if he asked. It took almost nothing to get her. She's a lock.
Ryu I'd say is a lock as well. Capcom loves Nintendo, and actually helped greatly with him and megaman. They both are super iconic and popular. There's no reason to not keep Ryu. Especially since he seems to be the 2nd most popular DLC next to Cloud.
I still am wondering if Smash NX is going to actually happen; is there any recent evidence on this? And if its truly planned, when might it be announced?
That would be very stupid to cut down the roster. It'll lead to anger amongst a lot of people and a lot of series will go unrepresented if that happens.
Let's put it like this, the series will have a soft reboot in the future because if Wmash goes the way I think it would without trimming the fat, then it'll have a 70+ character roster that's hard to keep balance for even for a competitive party fighter.

If it's done for the sake of balancing then it's stupid because cutting down the roster will do nothing to make Smash Bros more competitive. Melee has 26 characters and it has more or less the same amount of viable characters to use in the game. If anything Smash 4 has more competitive potential with a lot of characters not reaching their full potential and additional balance patches.Let's put it like this, the series will have a soft reboot in the future because if Wmash goes the way I think it would without trimming the fat, then it'll have a 70+ character roster that's hard to keep balance for even for a competitive party fighter.
I ain't saying less is better
I'm just saying I won't be surprised when the roster gets down sized after Smash NX happens. Fighting Games go through this every time. It gets harder to balance each time when the roster is so large, to the point where characters get ignored (see
This is some amazing news.
Actually, RE has some pretty decent ti s with Nintendo for years despite being popular on PS and Xbox moreso.
The most funny thing is that this was approved by Nintendo (in a good way).
They showed off some interesting old concept art for Knuckles, Amy and Metal Sonic. I don't think we've seen any of it before, it's certainly not on Sonic Retro.
Don't do it! Protect you integrity! Don't become one of them!
one of Gamma's designs looks like Egg Robo.

Sonic Adventure concept art.
Those beta designs for Gamma and Big are great.
It's not just balance, it's also the workload that comes with that many characters. Remember that Smash is a series that actually builds its games from the ground up, each character isn't just ported from the previous one as they do update them to the new engine, tweak them for better balance, among other things, and that exponentially increases the larger the roster gets. Additionally, you also have to consider them doing things like graphics, special features like Smash Run, Events, among other things, and that means even more time and resources that have to be devoted to the game. As much as we'd hate to see it, we are going to reach a point where trimming the fat is going to be the more feasible option for the development team because otherwise they're going to have way too much strain on themselves and the resources that they have.
Got a My Neighbor Totoro vibe from the first Big design.
