It's funny you say that. I'm kinda the opposite, whereas I play Marth from time to time. Though, recently I've picked up on Marth (in Brawl), trying to learn the ins and outs. But sometimes I still do habits that I would with Roy...especially with Marth's B, but I keep forgetting it's altered in Brawl. I've been playing Brawl for like, how many years, and I still forget. Old habits die hard I guess.
If you were lugging around a sword, a shield, bombs, a bow, a hook shot, and a boomerang, you'd be kind of heavy too.
Oh my goodness.
And yet they allowed DmC to be Produced as well.
Can you imagine if that's actually implanted? I...think I'd cry. I mean, I wasn't a big fan of the mechanic, but still...
Oh is that what you'd do.
1. Yes. Don't see why not.
1. I tend to lean that way but I know it's very possible that they won't, and I don't really mind.
1. I think it's more likely for them to return.
1. No, as much as I would like them to return.
Snake's not coming back. Not sure what Sakurai will do with his unused playstyle, but knowing him he'll probably rework another character to fit that mold. Personally speaking, I hope Wolf receives grenade, mine and remote missile specials ala Star Fox: Assault; but that is about as realistic as wishing Ganondorf fights with a sword. Sonic the Hedgehog will probably return, on the one hand because he remains popular, and I don't see Sega really putting up too much a fuss about him being recycled for another game (company's too broke not to take the advertisement). Most people only wished for Sonic the Hedgehog and Megaman to start with. His advantage is it's just a matter of renewal if Sakurai wishes too, yet therein lies the caveat: if he wants. Considering he went out of his way to include him in Brawl (delays, Mewtwo/Roy absence anyone?), and has spoken positively on Sonic in the Smash universe every time the topic has come up, I'm even more inclined to believe he'd sooner bring him back over Solid Snake.
1. Snake might. Sonic I think will return. If he doesn't I don't think we'll have any third party characters.
Personally, I would want Pico to take Snake's moveset, but that would never ever happen. I can't really think of any other Nintendo characters that could aside from your example of Wolf taking some of Snake's specials.
Would it be possible for someone from Advance Wars to take his moveset? IDK much about that series, but it seems like there might be someone from that series who could use some of Snakes weaponry.
1. Sonic's a good bet through and through. Sega needs the money, has been on good terms with Nintendo, and I can see Sakurai wanting another attempt at implementing him as Sonic stuff in general in Brawl felt underwhelming due to the lack of time.
Will.
When you also take into consideration that David Hayter has pretty much been given the boot as the voice of Big Boss for Metal Gear Solid 5 in favor of, speculatively, Keifer Sutherland (*complimentary Jack Bauer joke*); the writing is on the wall that Solid Snake is not coming back.
If Sonic is removed, it won't be because of apathy or poor memory.
Talking isn't the problem, it's the subject that concerns me.
Let's lay out their more prominent franchises:
Pretty much. Plus I think Sakurai was also throwing that little comment out there for the random Resident Evil requests.
Not sure why a different VA would prevent Snake from coming back. Also, I believe that Kojima confirmed that Solid Snake would be coming back in future games.
The fact that Solid Snake has been completely removed from the Metal Gear Solid scene and is not relevant (the only time when it matters). It's all about Big Boss, and there is no way Nintendo can afford Keifer Sutherland. Trust me, those little things do matter.
You're comparing apples to oranges. When it comes to third party franchises, these "small things" do matter. Which is why Sakurai has talked about the difficulty of including guest franchises into the series.
Ryu Hayabusa would be a good wildcard choice if it weren't for the fact about how gory and violent the Ninja Gaiden games are. I am not sure a character from DOA would work well either. However, theoretically, the will is certainly there from Tecmo-Koei (they have allowed so many Nintendo character cameos in their games, and even worked on various Nintendo properties themselves).
Will would be a good choice to take Snake's moveset as well. However, I doubt it would happen considering I doubt Sakurai even knows he exists considering Days of Ruin was never even released in Japan. The funny thing is that artwork for Days of Ruin was done by the character designer for King of Fighters.
Interesting point. It would be weird for Snake to come back for Smash 4 and not have him voiced by Hayter.
Yeah I get that feeling too (that none of them look really appealing).
Truth be told, I think Leon's cheesiness would be kind of amusing in Smash Bros., however, I think any RE character would be even more out of place than Snake even due to how much more violent that series is compared to MGS (even though some titles like RE4 are synonymous with Nintendo consoles).
Again, pretty sure Kojima has confirmed that Solid Snake will be coming back in future instalments. In fact, I have a confirmation right here.
Do you have a source for Sutherland being confirmed as Snakes VA? I mean, besides the internet rumor mill?
Well, you're kind of right.
