Here's something I want to share with you guys.
As most of you probably know Sonic Generations is a game that has had a bunch of Mods ranging from Model Swapping to Brand New Levels like Metal Harbour, Emerald Coast, Mystic Cave, Frog Forest and Starlight Carnival to name a few.
There have also been other mods such as porting the stages of Colours. The Entire Unleashed Project and even Sonic 06 Levels. But very few actually go as far as too Mod Character Gameplay. Which is what I am here to show you.
Behold an actual Flying Tails Mod. (Still Work in Progress)
If Sega took this concept. And worked around with it on Tails and Knuckles.
Returning tails' flight whilst having his slide move being the tail spin from Adventure.
And giving knuckles the ability to glide and climb up walls and changing the stomp to something like his spiral Dive in Adventure 2 and switching out the slide for a Running Punch similar to something like this which happened in the Opening to Unleashed.
And they might have an extremely good way to being back the old style. Keeping Tails and Knuckles similar to Sonic but giving them their own attributes.:seuss:
Sorry for the long Post
If Sega went back to the S3&K formula in terms of multiple characters, that'd be amazing. They tried with Sonic Boom, but, well... you know.

I was about to ignore everything you said but you said this. WHO THE **** ELSE WOULD SEGA GET? 'unuzer Sawnek' No. We didn't get another Mega Man
perhaps because mega man is the lowest-selling third party in smash, while sonic is the highest

We didn't get another Mega Man character because Capcom has a much wider pool of successful and notable IPs to draw from.

Capcom's best selling franchises:
Resident Evil - 62m
Street Fighter - 36m
Monster Hunter - 32m
Mega Man - 30m
Devil May Cry - 13m
Onimusha - 8m
Dead Rising - 8m
MvC - 7m
Lost Planet - 6m
Ace Attorney - 5m


Capcom don't have to double dip, and they'd have been foolish to because Resident Evil and Street Fighter are both more successful and arguably more noteworthy than Mega Man is. Protoman, the next most likely Mega Man character is no where near as well known or iconic as Ryu, or Leon.

SEGA's best selling franchises:
Sonic - 150m
Super Monkey Ball - 8m(ish, not concrete)
Football Manager - 7m

Sega's next most successful IP has a huge drop off in success. Aiai may be important to SEGA, but this isn't a SEGA game. Sonic is the ONLY possible series to draw SEGA characters from for Smash.

It's amazing how well Sonic sells, despite his less than stellar reputation.

Maybe "The Sonic Cycle" is real after all.

Sonic is cool and spawn memes.

Every other video game platformer character does not.

Why the flying hell are we using sales figures to judge who gets into Smash?
So freaking what if one franchise didn't do as good sale wise as another. The hell does any of that have to do with whether or not they become a character in a freaking video game of all things?

Final Fantasy at 110 million. The series was SO important to Nintendo in the 8 and 16-bit eras, and Nintendo was super important to Sqaure back then, too.

It's a shame that no one can agree on a rep from the series, lol.
Cloud is the most requested one from the most succesful game on the series,but guess what,his game was never on a nintendo platform.

You missed some SEGA franchises:

Puyo Puyp -13.5 Million
Megami Tensei - 13.2 Million

"The Warrior of Light" aka the Warrior from FF1 would be interesting.

As in, the singular warrior but with most of the abilities of the other classes.

Dissidia ran with a similar-ish concept for the character.

Girls who are crazy? Where are they and why aren't I already there.
okay here is what fangirls is on internet dictionary.
female of approximately 12-17 years old, (though this can vary) who are obsessed by some sort of celebrity/group/band.
contrary to popular belief, fangirls are not always to be confused with stalkers. Can just be happy, excited (albeit somewhat pathetic) about the celebrity/group/band they are crushing on.
However then there are the dangerous fangirls, the kind that hound said celebrity/group/band and annoy the **** out of other people with their shrieks of 'OMFG!'
Fangirls very often give a bad name for true, normal fans.
Now try to twist this in a male in his 20's behind a computer with a grammar like "GOKU IZ DE BEAZT" and you might got what you are looking for.

More iconic in Square-dom MAYBE but not in the world at large, much less Nintendo

I want Black Mage (Mario sport mix design) but most people prefer another square Enix character who has been the most requested square Enix rep since brawl and didn't the light of the day since more than 15 years.

Yeah that's the issue.

Hell, before Dissidia, he was only seen in Yo****aka Amano's artwork and in an FMV for the PSX version of FF1.

EDIT: censors why

While agree with you,I doubt a crossover game director would choose the worst selling franchise from the third party company you are working with it just because some people 15 years ago played that game.

They both were in 2 Mario games but if you count super Mario-kun comics then it will be 3.
*With major roles
ALSO COMICS DON'T COUNT

Completely off-topic, but you know what thing I'd completely forgotten about from the Mario series, and that I'm probably the most bummed isn't appearing in Super Mario Maker? (Besides *insert name of any powerup from SMB3 / NSMBDS*, of course)

Triangular blocks. (Pic for those without easy YouTube access in spoiler)

Granted, you were only able to run up walls in Super Mario World, not upside-down like in the SMA4 e-Reader levels. Still, I remember having had a bunch of crazy ideas back in the day involving running using these things to run up walls and ceilings, using P-Switches and so forth to create temporary platforms.

I've yet to see Season 6 on Yahoo.

As far as Final Fantasy goes... I feel like Cecil from FF IV makes a bit of sense. IV is one of the more influential and beloved entries in the series... heck, it even got a sequel on Wii Ware.

Cecil would certainly be cool, favourite FF protagonist from what I've outside of Sabin

Fine, I only like Sabin because he can suplex trains

There's a lot of weird missed opportunities with SMM.

Hopefully DLC amends a lot of them.

I still believe Square-Enix atleast should have a chance for a Smash rep but its biggest has been no standout characters to represent their company except for one which has much more and greater history on Playstation consoles than Nintendo compared to some which can have atleast a partial history with Nintendo or atleast in :4pacman: sake, has insane history in the arcades and is a general icon to boot.

I just came here to say that I had a very vivid dream last night that we had a Nintendo Direct next week that revealed the Ballot Winner was Baby Daisy. She was being added as a fully unique newcomer, but in recognition of the characters popularity overall, Peach was going to get a true Daisy alt.. Both would get an amiibo.

Don't worry though, it wasn't a premonition. They put her character page between Roy and Lucas on the official website, which isn't consistent with how they have added them. Confirmed fake!

A Square Enix rep should not be:
Cloud
Lighting
Any protagonist after 7, basically
Protagonists from series with one game only(RIP Crono and Neku)
A SE rep should be:
One of the FF1 classes
A SNES era protagonist
DQ thingy
Sora(*raises flameshield*)
Someone else I forgot

EDIT: Geno doesn't even deserves to be listed
