If Konami still has a rep who should it be?

A. Snake stays
B. Simon or Trevor Belmont (possibly Alucard too)
C. Bomberman
I'd prefer Bomberman, but at this point it should be Snake. Even though the other two/three would make a lot more sense in a Nintendo crossover. :p

I think Simon Belmont would have the most appeal considering we already have NES Mega Man. Alucard doesn't really have a strong tie with Nintendo. But with the Castlevania reboot I don't think Konami will go in that direction if they were given the choice. So Snake is the most likely.

Well the original Mega-Man is the most popular and had games both back on NES and now on the Wii.

But still, I would rather Simon/Trevor Belmont in the Mirrors of Fate look. Or something similar.

Gee thanks. I thought I was at least worth a Blast Burn. :glare:
Show me an Entei that can use Blast Burn, and I'll use Blast Burn.

I'm 100% Farm Fresh natural Entei. Just a special golden one.

EDIT: Bear in mind, we aren't making fun of your work. In fact, it's really good.
It's just your work happens to be of....Impa.
Thanks to a certain pothead on this forum, she's become a pariah.

Those "sacred temples" are only clay models created to make the illusion of depth from the prospective of the cameraman.

Budgets don't allow people to buy entire buildings all willy nilly you know.
I see.
Well then.
I don't want to miss and get Smokey the Bear on my case again about forest fires. :troll:

I just said NES Mega Man to meanretro style Mega Man.

I would prefer an update or modernization of his NES look, since that's the grounds for his appearance to me. The contributions of Castlevania to NES were just like that of Mega Man, so I would reflect that.

But the Mirrors of Fate look would reflect the reboot so that might be more likely. I wouldnt mind the MoF look as long as the trophy had the original Castlevania listed as first appearance.

I'd prefer the other two (Bomberman because of his connection to Nintendo and personal childhood bias while Simon for his own history and Captain N jokes) but it'd probably be Snake.

I don't want Snake to leave, so yeah.

If Konami somehow got another character, it should clearly be someone (likely Simon) from Castlevania. Being an NES classic and all.

Snake vs Simon would be interesting, seeing as they've fought before in Dream Mix TV World Fighters.

To be fair, the same could be said for Bomberman.
He's got more going for him too actually, especially since he has crossed eyes with Wario before.

I don't have an opinion of Bomberman since I've never been interested in his series, but I do remember there was a Wario Bomberman crossover now that you mentioned it. I think it was either for GameBoy Color or original GameBoy. Released somewhere in the 1990s when Wario was still somewhat new.

Starfy also crossed over with Wario in one of his games as well.

Totally forgot about that, guess we gotta make him into a galactitc sheriff in his reboot so he can use a laser gun sakurai has no problems with laser guns.
But haven't Star Fox team already taken care of that?

Bmberman, because Snake isn't good for kids! (rated Mature)

Yes, because having a character from a rated M game automatically means that it's bad for kids, even in said character isn't all that bad. :rolleyes:

Technically, kids shouldn't be playing smash bros in the first place. It's rated T.

Snake as a character isn't "mature." He's serious, but not gory, sexual or anything like that. He's fine.

Popularity vote would get him in but he's not a very relevant character in Rhythm Heaven; he's only been in two minigames of the 150 in the series. Plus he doesn't really do anything.
Rhythm Heaven definitely has a fighting chance for a rep though.

And hey I updated my roster.

Tell me what you think.

I'm confused as to why Falco and Snake are cut when Falco is a two-time veteran and Snake gets kicked while Sonic stays. Drop a couple of newcomers for Falco and Snake. Alternatively, replace Sonic with Falco. Then I'd be happy with the roster. The other cuts seem unnecessary, but I can tolerate a lack of Toon Link, Ganondorf, Lucario, and Ike.

Currently 9/10 would enjoy in the right mood.

I think it is a pretty good roster.

Although I will say characters like Isa Jo and Matthew/Isaac should be there. Maybe Ghirahim and/or Impa too.

While questionable inclusions are the Duck Hunt Dog, Samurai Goroh, and that guy above Mega-Man.

If 5 characters were cut whould should they be? And who would replace them?

I say:

1. Ike - Chrom
2. Pokemon Trainer Red - Pokemon Trainer Gold
3. Lucario - Awakened Mewtwo & A 5th Gen Rep (2 for 1 deal)
4. Toon Link - Ghirahim & Impa (2 for 1 deal)
5. Snake - Simon/Trevor Belmont

Toon Link> Prince Sable (hey, nobody said it had to be from the same franchise, right?)
Snake> Simon Belmont
Lucario> Team Rocket (Meowth). :D
Ike> I feel exactly the same way for any FE character, so might as well be Tharja or Micaiah
Diddy Kong> Diddy+Dixie

For the love of God, please avoid this at all costs, especially Impa.

I shudder to think of what Diddy would do if Impa were to be confirmed, and her coming at the cost of Toon Link would be rubbing salt on the wound. :urg:

When I checked the Smash website this morning, I saw the 'WARNING! CHALLENGER APPROACHING!" thing and thought we got another character. I almost had a heart attack.

I don't know what topic we are on right now but at the guy who said which rep should Konami have.

I feel like the only reason people say Snake is because he was already in Brawl and people jsut don't like cuts at all. I'm not gonna touch Bomber due to his low popularity. When a 3rd party gets in nI still feel lke they should be able to bring allot of history for Nintendo. Now I realize Snak started out on the Nes and had a single GC game and 3DS game, but if I'm not mistaken he didn't get as popular as he is today untill he got onto Playstation and he now has more ties to Sony then Nintendo. Snake got in as a favor and even though it can be considered as rep of a bond of friendship I can't help but think that Snake might be a one time thing. Now look at Castlevania, they have more history with Nintendo and still seem to somewhat consistintly gets games on Nintendo systems along with other systems making them tied to all platforms really but they offer more to Nintendo then Metal Gear imo as they have many more games on Nintendo system and a deep history. So yes I would have to say a Castlevania rep from Konami is more deserving then a Metal Gear rep from Konami.

But he's memetic within Japan and outside it.
Probably the most recognizable character from the franchise despite his "lack" of prominence.

I like it, I would just recommend adding Ike back in, adding back Snake and giving Zelda a 4th character. Probably Ganondorf if Ganon doesn't transform into Ganondorf.

Like I said, if Entei could learn Blast Burn, I'd use Blast Burn. :p
And the pothead I'm talking about has the username of a Brawl character. :diddy:
