If Smash got another third party character who would y'all want?
Here's my list:

Quote (Cave Story)
Steve (Minecraft)
Crash Bandicoot (Crash Bandicoot)
Shovel Knight (Shovel Knight)
Rayman (Rayman)

I hold the highest priority for Quote, because he's one of my most favorite protagonists of my most favorite game, and due to his utility would offer a very unique moveset. Steve is there mainly because he offers a wide arsenal as well, and I would love to see how they would represent him. That and Minecraft is an awesome game that I hope has some form of appearance in the future. Though I'm not open about him much, Crash, like Rayman, is part of my childhood, and the Crash games are still some of my favorite games. Shovel Knight is pretty much like Steve to me- he has a lot of moveset potential and is a favorite character of mine. Finally, Rayman is a part of my childhood, and his series was very fun to play through.

Honestly though, if Quote ever gets his chance, I will die happy. :4ness:

None of you really gave me a good idea for the last 3rd party in my smash roster that I didn't already have in it. :p

Easily Professor Layton. He is my most wanted for Smash after all.

Other third parties that I'd love to see are Black Mage, Jin Kazama, Ragna the Bloodedge, or Noel Vermillion (yes, I'm one of the few people who wants to see some sort of BlazBlue representation in Smash even though it's very unlikely that it will happen).

I just got done cleaning up the cats' litter box. But I had quite simply the biggest scare ever while doing it. There was a damn wolf spider in it and I didn't realize it until after I picked up the box. I dropped it, and fell right on my bottom and I was sitting there like
3f5-1.png

watching that furry ******* skitter under the tub.

After it was gone I cleaned up the mess. The spider finally came out and y'all- I ain't never stomped on no spider so hard. I hate being scared- especially by spiders. I make it my goal to ensure whatever spooked me pays dearly.

So yeah, I'm wide awake now. Lol

Either that means you don't find Brian a good idea(completely reasonable, as his game proper is not popular much), or he's already in there. Can't wait to find out which.

I love Quest 64 but honestly he has no chance. If anything he'd be an assist and even that isn't very likely.

Wasn't saying he was. I was just wondering if you added him to your roster or not.

And I'm aware. He's a third party character from a dead franchise, and a company who got out of gaming. He wouldn't be an AT or even a Trophy, nor would it get music or anything. Why? Because THQ and Imagineer don't even acknowledge the series anymore. They barely did. Unless Nintendo or someone buys it, it doesn't matter. However, due to the copyright being up(as in they no longer hold it), they can put it on the VC with no issues. Imagineer, unless they bother to rebuy the copyright, basically can't get money for it. Only Nintendo at best, perhaps.

You can't compare Brian to Cloud. lol
So much this. I even said Cloud had a way bigger chance. And I don't regret it. I love Quest 64. I don't like FFVII. Bias doesn't change who was truly more likely.

I don't really consider one game a franchise.

I think I have the final third party character decided now. :p

I wasn't trying to compare those two specifically. I was conveying y'all shouldn't be thinking any character has 'no chance'- especially one that's been on a Nintendo platform. I'm not defending Brian- I'm defending the entirety.

Cloud is a prime example as to why you should never count anyone out. Sure there's odds, but there's most certainly not a dead line. Not with Sakurai. S'all I'm saying.

Quest 64 is part of a 3 game franchise. Quest 64(with two alternate names depending the regions. Holy Magic Century and Eletale Monsters), Quest RPG: Brian's Journey, and Quest Fantasy Challenge. So... yeah, it's not a one-off series. Wasn't particularly notable otherwise, though.

I always knew that Cloud had a great chance. I said for years that Cloud was gonna be in a Smash Bros eventually.

Wait it had 3 games? That's news to me.

That... means literally nothing. Just because you thought he was likely then doesn't change the reality that Cloud was one of the least likely characters of the time before his reveal.

I could spout off about how likely Quote or Young Link are, but that doesn't mean I'm right.

Yeah except I did turn out right.

Cloud wasn't really "unlikely" unless being from Square Enix makes you unlikely. A lot of people forgot what the 3rd party rules really were. You didn't have to be close to Nintendo as is. You didn't need to have a Nintendo appearance either(it'd be nice, of course). You had to originate in a video game. You have to bring something unique to the table.

Really, at best a lot of people thought he wasn't voted for often due to fan-rules. When it reality he was pretty popular as a choice(Sakurai adding him in due to people's own votes. Not specifically the ballot, but in general. He was highly requested). Having a tie with Nintendo didn't really matter, although it's pretty clear it can affect the content. Note how little FFVII got compared to Bayonetta. If the company themselves are on great terms with Nintendo, it's easy to get more content. SE isn't bad with them, but FFVII in itself is pretty much nonexistent on Nintendo itself(some characters cameo or are playable in some spin-offs/Kingdom Hearts, but that's it).

I felt Cloud had a really good chance after properly researching the official 3rd party rules. He wasn't my personal choice, but I saw him as an obvious rpg character choice. He is Mr. RPG. Just like Ryu is Mr. Fighting.

I just noticed that my 2 year anniversary here is coming up soon, and 3 days before Fates comes out.

HOLY ****, OKAY...
Meeting up with the original party and actually getting to play as Felix and Isaac's teams is INCREDIBLE.

I thought the lack of FF music and content was because of licensing costs or SE being strict about what they can use.

There's that too, but the fact that there's yet to be an FFVII game on a Nintendo system makes it even harder, since it hasn't "been there before", meaning that it's more special. Thus, that's a good reason for SE to keep the price tag higher, since it's more coveted. Supply and demand type thing and all.

You might notice that every single Sonic song has had a Nintendo appearance(bar Sonic's victory theme, but 06 was one of the more focused games at the time), and the 06 instrumental main theme was intended for a Nintendo release as is. But for various reasons, didn't happen(likely due to the Wii's less power. 06 clearly was a game with a lot of tech behind it, regardless of the quality and such, which is legitimately low testing-wise. But I don't go heavily into that).

I do think FFVII having zero Nintendo appearances was a likely factor. I'm not sure if any of the music besides the two themes that Smash got actually showed up at all in the various FF spin-offs and KH. Maybe One Winged Angel might've during Sephiroth's appearances?

I **** you not. It never occurred to me how much I wanted this until someone joked about it. Will it ever happen? I doubt it, but I'd be hyped as hell if it ever did. That said, if it were to ever happen, I'd also like a Sony rep to tag along. Ratchet & Clank would be pretty cool.

I'm particularly against 3rd Party characters, but if I had to go with one, Banjo & Kazooie hands down.
That just seems to be a weird thing to be against.

EDIT: Snake would be a cool addition too *cries*

When it came to having a Sony character, I always thought Toro Inoue (SCEJ's mascot) would make more sense. I get he isn't very recognizable, though.

Nah, he's not. Which isn't a bad thing. It's not like Smash Bros has to have the most iconic characters ever. Melee claims to have only Nintendo All-Stars, and I'm pretty sure less than half are actually All-Stars. I just don't think Sony cares about Toro enough to bring them to the masses outside Japan.

Although he was in PSABR and SFxT, so maybe.

Generally, I prefer having more Nintendo characters but, I think I'm starting to warm up to third party characters. With that said, these are what I'd like. :)

1. Professor Layton
2. Bomberman
3. Simon Belmont

Hahaha, the Naruto company has gone real desperate when they are adapting a random fan's work into a Drama CD. This is Fifty Shades of Grey all over again.

Now they really had stooped to a new low. As if milking the anime with fillers wasn't bad enough. :rolleyes:

Coming from someone who loves yaoi and used to care about Naruto long ago, I think this screams desperate from top to bottom, just like the book you mentioned.
