Well, as I said, it was a different kind of hype (schoolyard hype, kids-slacking-off-when-they-should-have-been-doing-homework hype), and a different time. Not as many people had internet, and the turn-of-the-century game communities were kind of like the wild west, and pretty disorganized.
Nawww... it'll be Dark Samus, Dark Pit and Raichu.Sakurai: I hope you like Sheriff, Bayonetta, and Waddle Dee.
good point. things have changed in the last decade, so you can't compare.
FOX has the right to it because there's a TV show called Killer Instinct (which was a failure if I'm not mistaken). Microsoft currently has 6 months to try and reverse the claim, so we'll see what happens.

edit- I think Bayonetta would be a pretty nice inclusion. Would not mind her at all. Although Sonic has my SEGA character pick, naturally

I've been thinking Karate Joe would fill that roll, but maybe I'm just crazy.Surprises:
Pacman
Waddle Dee
Balloon Fighter
Olimar Jr.
I wanted Bandana Dee after playing Kirby Retrun to Dreamland. Still skeptical.
yep, it is really good! =D
summed up my point of view. would really like if Sakurai added a conversations easter egg to them like those of the Star Fox characters and Snake.
this guy knows what he's talking about! =D
Bandana Dee getting into Sm4sh wouldn't be the oddest thing in the world. He has support, he has a unique fighting style, and he represents Kirby getting back to its roots after so many years. He may not be definite, but he's still in the running. And I agree, it would be nice to see him included. He's certainly one of my favorite candidates.
lol, I think I remember that show, and it was a failure from what I remember. Kinda silly that FOX has the rights to it just because of the name though, as the show had basically nothing to do with the fighting game. Then again, I don't really care who gets the rights to KI at this point as long as someone actually does something with the series again.FOX has the right to it because there's a TV show called Killer Instinct (which was a failure if I'm not mistaken).

Namco Bandai surely is helping to speed up the process without deteriorating the quality of the game. besides Namco, we also have Sakurai's own Sora Ltd. working on it.
...it was you! O_O
couldn't agree more! that place is full of trolls and stupid people. where are the mods on that site? they're almost inexistent!
This was actually the first time I posted on GameFAQs since E3 2012 (or maybe July). Its absolutely horrible over there.
... :SOh wow. The observations are interesting. Thanks. For a Third-party I'd love to see Megaman. I was always bad at the games, but I still like that little guy XD
Considering that Hideki Kamiya mentioned on his Twitter that he'd be interested in making a reboot for Nazo no Muresame-jo than just Star Fox, it could happen sooner or later.
you mean the same Hideki Kamiya of Platinum Games?
Roy is within the Top 10 most wanted characters in the West, and overall the most wanted Fire Emblem character in the West. Most of his supporters are rather quiet in the West though.Also, how's Roy's popularity when it comes to the West compared to Japan? I'm sorry, I've been living under a rock up until now.
Yes, the one and only. I've been following him for quite some time.
No, that seems like the kind of left-of-field character Sakurai could go for. Definitely not that far fetched.
He's my dark horse candidate for SSB4.
Of course that's not a bad thing, in fact it's kinda a good thing.
Mystery solved.
As most of us have already discussed, Sakurai does not have many characters to choose from left. While some people like to think that Sakurai is the type who is going to cut half of the roster just so he can add more characters, the truth is he likes adding more variety. There is enough evidence out there to show us that King DDD was cut in Melee for the sake of having more characters (Ganondorf, Young Link, Roy, Pichu, Dr. Mario, Falco). Waddle Dee is a safe gamble for Sakurai that has more upside then down. Think about it, very few people I've met actually dislike him as a character, the only real complaint is that he is a generic enemy. or that Kirby as a series is finished. Still, most people seem to think he can translate to Super Smash Bros well; and he can. Sakurai cares as much about variety in playstyle as much as he does the individual character itself. Waddle Dee has that. Heck, Kirby's Return to Dreamland already gives Sakurai a lot to work with, especially when you consider that a majority of the attacks for Metaknight and King DDD in that game came from Brawl. There is already a starting point for Sakurai to work with.
Come to think of it, this sounds like a logical reason why nothing has been shown off as of yet. More planning is needed to reach Brawl hype levels.
Wow, that's nice to hear.
Nuuu Sakurai, please don't cut half the the roster. I'd refuse to buy Smash 4 if that happened. Or is this unlikely to happen?
That was hyperbole. Although, there are always a few people out there that probably want something like that.
