I wish the amiibo costumes in Mario Maker had their own unique abilities.

I'd love to Falcon Punch everything in the level.

So hey, I got a topic of discussion for you all this time around...

Of all the future DLC characters, regardless of how many there may be with Sakurai saying "a few"... How many of them do you potentially think will actually be third party characters?
I mean, let's be real here, third parties are probably the most talked about characters in these polls. And yet despite this, it was never said that a third party character would be selected, but rather SUGGESTIONS for them were open. I'm not sure many people have considered their may not even be a single one. But at this point the possibility is still very much on the table... the question is how many, if any?
None? Maybe 1? Half of the remaining "Slots"? ALL of them? What do you think is likely, or what would you feel would be the best choice?
Personally, I think 1 more guest fighter is going to be MORE than enough. Even though practically everyone I've voted for so far has been 3rd party, this is still a Nintendo fighting game at the core. We already have 4, plus several reps who have gotten trophies (Rayman, Bit Trip Runner, etc.), so I think the quota is full enough already. However, I think it would also be somewhat silly for there to not be at least ONE third party, but I really don't want much more than that. I want to see what actual Nintendo characters could possibly bring to the table.

I personally believe we'll get at least one more third party character.

EDIT: 16 Bit Sonic confirmed.

I think it's safe to say we'll get at least one more. I wouldn't go beyond 2.

going tbh, I don;t expect any and I will say that if ANY is happening, I would be surprised.

I really think that the remaining dlc dev is so limited that I don;t expect more than 3 characters remaining (and I consider 3 to be a bit less likely).

Ryu, with the remaining time of when dlc was a thing, to me made sense and if he wasn't there prior, could still have made sense. My problem right now is that no matter how I look at third party, if they fit the standard, I don;t feel they would still go over others non third party.

One example would be rayman, he COULD fit, it;s just that I don;t feel there would be enough time and resources available to go through the process of putting him in before others choices that are easier to work with.

And that;s a good case, if you go to something like indie stuff, it's even less likely.

So, no, I don;t expect third party from now on.

16bit sonic but it seems they redid the sprite to fit in 16x16 instead of directly pasting the original one

interesting, although its prob gonna look awkward. but then again nearly every single 8bit SMM sprite broke the NES limitations to begin with lol

Im not expecting anymore 3rd parties. I only expect 2 or 3 more characters though so many would call me "pessimistic"

Didn't I call this with the Duck Hunt promotional art? lol

Still though, what does Sega have against the 8-bit games...

Snake or bust. Four is more than enough, but if we have to get another one, I'd hope it's a much missed veteran.

Wolf still needs to get back first though.

I don't expect more than 4 characters, and I expect one more third party at maximum.

I think it's the matter of the fact the 16bit Sonic 1 was first and also the most iconic. Many many people will recognize his first genesis sprite farr more than any of his game gear sprites.

True, but it's just so inconsistent. It feels out of place compared to the rest of the sprites. But I digress.

Not sure if this was answered, but amiibos will only work in SMB1 levels, right?

Question, do you guys believe it's possible that when character DLC is completely done, we'll get things such as custom moves and Palutena's Guidance's for those characters?

TBH, I agree with you. I just think that was the rationale behind the choice.

Personally I'd rather a new sprite. I feel some characters just look out of place even in their 8bit forms like Kirby and Pac-Man. The black outlines just doesn't really do it.

I predict 0 more 3rd party characters, and ONE more DLC character.

@SegaNintendoUbisoft what do you mean by "Fully done"? I believe if they're in the game, they're "fully done"

I could see them doing custom moves, but I wouldn't count on Palutena's Guidance. Seems like a one and done sort of deal.

With the 4 fighter pack for pre-ballot, wouldn't be shocked if the remaining DLC is 4, making it 8 total.

I'd rather a lot of new stages to along with it tbh

Despite what some people think, I think Snake has a chance of returning. I wouldn't expect anyone other than him though.

I dont see the wii u roster being left uneven, so by the time we are done with dlc it should be a square, and based off of how it is now, i see 2 more characters, or possibly 6 if the roster grows all the way to the sides of the screen, instead of leaving the little bit of space there is right now

The 3DS will look uneven though. So no matter what, one of the versions are gonna look uneven.

I feel it won't ultimately matter in the end. Sakurai & co are making as many characters as they can in regards to time & budget. I don't think the CSS is going to affect that.

I'm pretty sure they'll use those arrows for DLC characters at some point.

I hope they do it for the Wii U version, so that the CSS doesn't get butchered even further...

That'll be chaos with multiple people sharing the same screen.

Someone did point out how there's only really room for 2 more characters on the Wii U CSS.

Of course that doesn't necessarily deconfirm more than 2 characters as they could always add a second page or go the MK9 way with DLC

That reminds me of how people used to add secret characters above the character select screen for mugen XD :p

Thank god that didn't happen
Sonic 3D Blast in ain't bad IMO just boring and took away what made Sonic good.

Now those GG games aside from the first one and Triple Trouble are BAD.

Especially Labyrinth and Sonic Blast

Also remember the CSS can actually shrink the spots in size. (3DS did it as well)

I think they'll stick to one page for characters

It's not the worst game but I sure as hell don't like playing it. Especially with the graphics on the Genesis version. Made tiles look evil.
