You sir need another 1,000 likes, from now own I will like every post I can see that you post XD.

I predicted four years ago that the next generation will see or two big third party companies fall due to overspending on graphics-related technology or having too many random executives.

I think currently Activision, EA, and Capcom are definitely in that mode. Nintendo is kinda like that too (many of their top guys need retirement packages to leave).

As it stands, Capcom is pretty close to going under, THQ (not that big but still big) went under, and other smaller companies have gone under. As it stands, EA is having sales troubles, Square Enix had a lot of financial issues a few years back, and quite frankly, I doubt Activision's model will continue to succeed, after they had Guitar Hero and DJ Hero fail on them.
BUT VADER COULDN'T EVEN GET HIS OWN SON INTO THE FAMILY BUSINESS!
Yeah, but Micheal Corleone followed his father into the family business, and look what happened to him.

His daughter dated his nephew. Yep. That's a thing.

You don't like Star Wars? Really? Really? Not even a Yoda costume for Pikachu?

over rated I think it only got popular because the effects were amazing for the times and a super generic story that every one would love

I wouldn't be surprised, ether. But I don't think he really makes any sense anymore.

Him and Saki are best to stay where they are as Assist Trophies. I usually pair the two of them with Shulk when having to choose one more character to add onto my roster. And it has to be Shulk. Something about me just says that only one of them can get in over the others.

I hate to be that guy, but I feel like Isaac lost his chance in Brawl. Sure he's wanted and pretty popular enough to get in, but I doubt it.
Who else has emerged since then=???

Just the Wii Fit Trainer, Shulk, and Miis. Every other noticeable candidate is from before the Wii era.

So even if Isaac doesn't get in this time, he'd be a top candidate and choice next time. After all, there aren't that many noticeable Nintendo characters left, especially ones with unique moveset, playstyle, and skillset potential like Isaac has.

I mean, it's not like Golden Sun isn't popular anymore. Even though the last game wasn't that good, it still sold reasonably well.

As for the Saki comparison... dood. The last Sin and Punishment game didn't even sell 100,000 copies. Process that for a second.

Yeah, you're right. I wouldn't at all be surprised if he gets in, but there's something in me that's saying that he missed his chance.

Most popular characters people advocate for, with the exception of K. Rool, have been consistent in their respective series since their debut. Isaac hasn't been around in a while, and it might hurt his chances.

And I certainly don't think Saki should be in the game. It's just a possibility, albeit a small one. But when I think of one last character from a new series to put on my roster, it always comes down to those three. And Shulk just wins because of his relevancy, popularity, importance, and... yes, recency.

Mega Evolution is only possible through the bond between a Pokémon and it's Trainer. I mean I guess Mewtwo would fit the spot, but not as much as Pokémon Trainer would.
The funny thing about this though, is that the Mewtwo in the Genesect movie is a wild Pokemon, and yet it could still mega evolve.

Blurry roster is blurry. But the roster itself isn't bad at all.

And I couldn't even tell who the character underneath Mega Man and next to Mr. G&W was at first, but when I zoomed in it looks like it's a group of Final Fantasy classes.

I actually like this roster a lot, having Toon Zelda/Tetra, Bowser Jr. Ridley, Mewtwo, Little Mac and Palutena. The FF classes could be interesting. Plus, you kept the Jiggs and Falco.

My only complaints are the Mii and that Impa replaced Sheik.

Let's talk about who has the best chance. I think that Little Mac does.
The font is big so that we change the topic faster.
Because I'm bored and I'm not having any fun.

He didn't miss a chance because he didn't have one. Seriously, Wario, Diddy Kong, and King Dedede weren't playable in Smash before Brawl. Heck, Mewtwo didn't even make it into the game, and he's the most wanted character for Smash Wii U and 3DS. Consider that.

K. Rool missed one game. Just one game. That's not that big of a deal. Bowser missed Super Mario Bros. 2, and he shouldn't have been in Sunshine. On top of that, the games he's been in have been huge blockbuster hits, and Donkey Kong Country is quite frankly a bigger franchise to the Nintendo home platforms than Zelda. Think about it.

Oh, and K. Rool has more moveset potential than any other character. That's a HUGGGGGGEEEE factor.

So since we have nothing to talk about, and this was in my head...

Let's talk Golden Sun!
GS was too awesome for Smash and that's why Isaac hasn't been playable yet, the awesomenss would've been too much to handle. DD wasn't as awesome so Isaac's awesome levels have dropped a bit to acceptable-for-Smash standards. So yeah... we'll probably get him this time. :grin:

Truthfully though, I'd put his chances at 50/50. Keep in mind Sakurai is using Brawl-era popularity at least to an extent for this roster.

I'd give Isaac a 1 in 4 chance at being playable.
And I certainly don't think Saki should be in the game.
He's got great potential as a playable character, so I definitely think he deserves consideration.
And Shulk just wins because of his relevancy, popularity, importance, and... yes, recency.
Recency doesn't mean much. The reason Shulk "wins" is because he matters more in every regard, including potential in regards to moveset, playstyle, and skillset.

King K.Rool is also missing this next games (well we are all pretty sure)
Move set potential is a good reason a character should get in but not as much as some think

DK's sereis has been revived and is really popular I honestly think DK will get 4 reps

No, we're not. Only fools are sure. That's unconfirmed. I mean, we didn't know who the final boss was in the last game pre-release now did we.

Plus, we still don't know the fourth playable Kong is, so such statements are nothing but baseless assumptions.

Your opinions are bad, and you should feel bad.

K. Rool gets considered because he's popular. Like super popular. Like he's stared in games that tens of millions of people played. Like, more people have played his games than Smash many.

K. Rool ends up being playable and sticking out amongst all the considered characters because he's got a ton of moveset, skillset, and playstyle potential. Like more moveset potential than any other potential newcomer, and it isn't even close.

Mother Reps (I added Palutena because she's just widely accepted and didn't feel the need):
Honestly, I only want Ness. But I expect Lucas to return, and everyone else will tell you that he's going to and he should.
Porky would be awesome, but unlikely I'm afraid.
