Spyro: 0%
Skylanders was only localised last year, by Square Enix no less who would push Dragon Quest not Spyro. Any other argument is uneccesary.

That said I don't think the Playstation thing is a big deal... after all Skylanders sold best on Wii and Activision offered Nintendo exclusivity to Skylanders, so clearly thy're more receptive to Ninty and Sony now-a-days... moreover bringing up the PSASBR point is moot as being in PSASBR isn't the same as being in Smash, the prestige of being a Smash character is worth paying for, the shame of PSASBR has to come at a price for a big name like Crash or Spyro. I think it has some effect, but isn't a be all end all like some suggest.

That said, I've always held that in the alternate world where Nintendo agreed to Skylanders exclusivity that they'd handle the localisation in Japan making him second party there, more well known, and still hugely popular in the west so he'd actually be a fully worthy pick. IF it were that world I think he'd take the third place in 3rd parties, just behind Slime, as he (or more the world he brings with him) would have a great impact on sales with the kiddy-winks... but it's not that world, which goes to show how much difference one decision can make.

Want: 85%
Personally I'm sad it's not that world, I think Spyro would make an excellent Smash character and be a fantastic quadruped... but as it stands now he doesn't really deserve to get in so my want would take a hit. I am a big fan of the original trilogy though, and feel Skylanders is a good series (just one that's not worth full price for me), so it's a character I'd be happy to see personally.



Resetti: 0.1%
I guess he's next in line for AC, but the big names have already been elsewhere and we can't just have 1 AT for a playable franchise?

Want: 0%
I'm not interested enough in a digging character unless they bring something else to the party... like Dillon would... Resetti doesn't have as much cool as him, and he's an AT!

I liked the original Spyro games quite a bit, but Spyro does not belong in a Smash game. I could see a moveset working for him, but all I can think about is how he should just be in PSABR instead.

Resetti
Chance: 0%
Want: 0%

Probably the most annoying AT there is, coincidentally one of my favorite ones. The best ATs were the ones that just messed with everyone, they were basically trolling you. But thats how I think Resetti should stay (and most likely will.)

Spyro

Chance - 0% - 3rd party character is 3rd party...again & when up against Pac-Man & Snake, hes nothing more than small fry. Also, Skylanders brutally murdered him, tis a shame.

Want: 30% - I enjoyed the original games but I feel that he doesn't belong in Smash.

Mr. Resetti

Chance: 0% - Given that a lot of Animal Crossing characters are getting deconfirmed (Tom Nook, Isabelle, etc.), I don't see Resetti joining the fight & the Villager will probably be by himself/herself.

Want: 0%

Nomination: 4 Fire Emblem characters x 5

 

[Glaciacott]

Talk about three Fire Emblem characters, Ike has been finally confirmed. We gave him a 72% chance of happening, so while there shouldn't be too much surprise, he was one of the veterans some of us feared would not return as playable.

As for my ratings,

Spyro
Chance - 0%
An icon of the early playstation days and Skylanders, both of which have no reason to receive representation in Smash. Regardles of how hilarious a middle finger it would be to the fans of PSASBR.

Want - 0%
I LOVE Spyro. It was my first game on the Playstation and it's still a fantastic game that's aged very well. However, he has no place in a Nintendo All-Stars game, even if skylanders pretty much sells Wiis and Wii Us.

Mr. Resetti
Chance - 0%
A gag character who works best as an AT. If he were playable, it wouldn't be Resetti, not to mention the fact that Villager represents Animal Crossing well enough and possibly only Tom Nook could be a second playable character and he's instead in the Final Smash.

Want - 0%
Like I said above, his main thing is talking angrily for extended periods of time. As a playable character, he would lose that.

Predictions
NFC - 83%
Most people should realize how confirmed this is, but some will be biased into denial.
Barbara (or is it Brabra?) - 4%
No thanks, want Rhythm Heaven instead.

Ike also had a 75% want, which means most of us are happy to see him return.

Spyro and Resetti:
Double Zeros for both.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Spyro - 1%

No way will he ever get in before Pac-man and Snake, and even then third party slots would still be rather limited and he cannot compare to them. He's not nearly as famous nor do nearly as many people want him in Smash as they do the former two. I'll be generous and give him 1% because he's appeared on some Nintendo consoles, so technically he isn't impossible. But he's not getting in, that I'm certain of.

Want - 90%

Oh man, YES PLEASE! Well, actually, I wouldn't really care for the Skylanders Spyro. I much preferred him in the Legends trilogy, and his elemental powers and attacks in that series give him quite a bit to work with moveset-wise. I love the storyline of the Legends series, the characters, and the attacks, though the gameplay can be a bit repetitive after a while...regardless, I'm a huge fan of it, and I would lose my mind if by some (impossible) chance that the Krome Studios Spyro got in Smash.

Mr. Resetti - 1%

The Animal Crossing series got it's first playable character in this game: The Villager, and it seems to be set just like that.

Want - 0%

Animal Crossing is fine with just the Villager being playable, honestly Furthermore, Resetti is one of my favorite Assist Trophies in Brawl, I just love reading his monologue, particularly his impressions of other characters, I find them to be hilarious. I really hope he returns as an Assist Trophy. I have no doubt that's the largest role he'll get in this game, and that's what I want him to be.

NCF Prediction - 92.87%

Barbara Prediction - 3.12%

Another Brawl Assist that was from an obscure game. Likely to get a small chance.

Spyro
Chance: 0%
Want: 0%
When it comes to third-parties, things get a little competitive. There's going to be a limited amount of third-party characters and he's up against some real big leaguers.

Anyway, I'll keep my fingers crossed for the coolest music character Nintendo has. No predictions. Don't want to jinx it.

Ike was given sympathy! Ike prepared himself with a 72.62% chance. Our want shows that we do indeed like Ike with a 75.22% want. Glad to see that you are fighting for your friends again, Ike!

Spyro and Mr. Resetti have been added to the Directory.

Spyro
Chance: 0%
I've mentioned before that Spyro has more of a connection with Sony than Nintendo. This is true to an extent. The purple dragon has appeared on Nintendo's consoles more than Sony's consoles, his birthplace. Even still, Spyro's earliest titles with Sony were pretty high quality, much higher quality than the crap that he has been releasing as of late. As such, I still hold regards that Spyro is more of a Sony All-Star rather than a Nintendo All-Star. This shines in what little demand he has; characters like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro have far less demand here than they did in PlayStation All-Star Battle Royale. The reason for this is probably because of his ties with Sony and the history that he's had with them while characters like Sonic and Mega Man are highly requested for their massive history with Nintendo. It also doesn't help that Spyro's most recent outing is Skylanders. His name was plastered onto that game and now they have removed it for the sequel after the success of that game.
While he has more games on Nintendo's consoles, he is still regarded as a Sony All-Star rather than a Nintendo All-Star.
Want: 0%
I never played a Spyro game before; I've played a demo, but I don't remember it much. As such, I don't really have a history with the series to make me want Spyro in Smash. I'm already ticked off that his series gave birth to Skylanders (I'll go more into that tomorrow).

Mr. Resetti
Chance: 0%
I believe that Animal Crossing is only going to get one character with Villager. The only character with any sort of demand after Villager was Tom Nook; after his demise, it has become more apparent to me that we will only get one AC character. It doesn't help that the demand for an Animal Crossing character in general was pretty weak prior to Villager's reveal. I sense that after when SSB4 releases, we will see an influx of AC requests and one of the main contenders will be Tom Nook.
Mr. Resetti just doesn't seem to be in this race at all. He is more known for his dialogue for his temper tantrums, which was pretty represented rather well in Brawl. I expect them to do the same in this installment. He survived the Assist Trophy massacre in the Direct, but I will be surprised if he managed to again after the 90 minute Direct at E3 where I am expecting many casualties.
Want: 0%
No thanks.

[Autumn ♫]

Spyro
Chance:0%
He's more of a Sony All-Star character, along with Crash Bandicoot, than anything else, and he doesn't have nearly as much popularity for Smash as he does for Sony' All-Star Battle Royal

Want:0%
I never really played his games, and I bet that if he were ever confirmed, some person would use Spyro against Ridley.

Mr.Resetti
Chance:10%
Our only large, not deconfirmed AC character at this point. However, with that said, it's most likely that we won't get another AC newcomer this game.

I've always loved the guy, when I was young I always restarted my game so then I could see Resetti. He'd also have a very fun moveset too, so I'm all for him.

Chance: 0%: Nintendo didn't make skylanders exclusive when they had the chance. If they did, Disney Infinity would be considered monumental for cross platform version and have succeeded being a more polished game. Also Spyro would probably be in this cause Skylanders would have sold Wii U's.

Want: 55% - I like purple dragons. Him, Ridley, Disney World's Figment... walk into a bar and make fun of Barney the Dinosaur and Prince for misusing the color puprle.

Resetti:
Chance: 35% - Why get rid of an AT? Or maybe he can just pop up if I accidentally reset smash brothers? Probably some kind of easter egg.

he's practically an sony character, and yes snake was too, but he got in through being friends with sakurai,

want - 0%
he's alright, but I wouldn't want him in smash
Mr. Resetti - 0%
honestly I can only see one other AC character that has a chance of being considred, and that's an planet sized long shot,
he's probably the only AC character that shows an sort of violence (i.e. angry enough where it looks like he's going to hit something) but he's pretty minor in the games, you could go thorugh an entire game of animal crossing and not even see him once, it also doesn't help that about 90% of the time you can only see him from waist up.
want - 25%
I do want another AC character, while not one I would want, I could see some interest finally seeing him whack people with that pick axe while raging, the only reason why its not more is because i'm still uncertain if he'll be good moveset and enjoyable wise

I know he isn't likely, but I would love to see his chances as an AT. If you have the time when you rate him, include his chances for that, as well as being playable. Thanks in advance.

 

[TheFadedWarrior]

Spyro:
Chance - 0% - Spyro really doesn't have too many Nintendo games anymore. He's pretty much with Sony now.
Want - 50% - Either way, I'm fine with it. Spyro would be pretty cool to play as, but not completely necessary.

Resetti:
Chance - 10% - He's not completely important of a video game character, and the only special moves I could think of would be yelling (sound waves?) and burrowing.
Want - 5% - He would be fun-ish and silly to play as, but I don't support the idea of him joining as a playable character.

 

[Kenith]

Spyro:

Chance: 1%. He's pretty much always a PlayStation character. Now that it's somewhat likely Nintendo will be semi-competing with their NFC figurines, I don't see any reason to include him, loveable as he is.
Want: 45%. Honestly, I would kind of like to see this. I have always had a soft spot for Spyro, he's not even that good in Skylanders but I used him anyway :'). That being said, he doesn't have priority over my most wanted characters.

Mr. Resetti

Chance: 5%. I feel like his Assist Trophy status and relative unimportance in his series don't bode well for him. The verdict has already been made once for him in Brawl, and he hasn't done much to warrant becoming playable. Besides, there isn't much he could even do.
Want: 0%. Having him playable would feel like a bad joke gone way too far, honestly.

My, how the mighty have fallen...
When Spyro was in his prime, suggesting him in Smash would've gotten you slapped. Even now - in his abominable "my demonic facelift was bashed in with a frying pan" background-character-to-a-series-that-doesn't-deserve-me state - he's still a third party. And not a heavy-hitting one, at that. He's barely the face of Skylanders anymore. Even in Spyro's Adventure, his name was there to trap and disappoint 90's kids.

(If you can't tell, I'm not a big Skylander's fan...but that's a story for another day).

Want: I'm so conflicted...but 0%
If we're talking about classic Spyro representation, then I would begrudgingly decline. I love Spyro, but I barely tolerate third-parties in SSB. If we're talking about Skylanders, then HECK NO. NOW PUT THAT IP TO GOOD USE, ACTIVISION!!!

Resetti: 0%
What can I say? He's an ideal Assist Trophy.

Want: 0%
Not because I don't like the character, or hate Animal Crossing ( because I love AC and love to hate Resetti), but because of what I said above: he's such an ideal Assist Trophy. Although, seeing him run around on his oft-hidden nub legs would be pretty great...

 

[Sid-cada]

Spyro

Chance - 0% - A third party with little to no support that fits better somewhere else. Yeah, good luck.

Want - 45% - Mostly nutral, though a few points docked for being a "useless" third party.

Near field communication I believe. It refers to the idea of something physical, like a toy or figurine, being used to transfer data to the Wii U using the Gamepad, or the 3DS using a platform that was announced a couple weeks ago.
In this case, we'll be rating how likely it is we'll have physical smash trophies/figurines that have this property.

Think Skylanders or Disney Infinity but with Nintendo characters. For Smash.

Abstaining from Mr. Resetti

Spyro
Chances: 0.1%
Not the most prominent nor notable third party, particularly now since Skylanders doesn't have him at the core and just used him as a marketing ploy to get its name out. So there's not that much of a strong desire to see him in Smash.

Want: 80%
He's one of my childhood favorites growing up, and because of that I do have an attachment to him and I'd love to see him battle against other characters I enjoy.

Spyro
Chance: 0.05%

Not sure if want... I loved his first three games, but they were PS1 exclusives, so he's not really a Nintendo All-Star. Also, Ridley. He would have an interesting moveset, though. BUT, he'd probably have that ugly Skylanders design. So, yeah- leaning towards not want here.
