I thought Nightmare would be cool for Smash but like what would he do? All his moves look very similar.

Honestly, I think Simon Belmont would be the best third-party to go with...BUUUUT Konami's basically ****ed itself in the ass so badly, I don't really want to see them given much in Smash to inflate their ego with.

So as weird as it may sound, I actually think that Knuckles would be a great character to have, especially since there's no way he could be made into a Sonic clone.

On another note, which first-party characters would you want in Smash the most? I personally vote Ridley, King K.Rool and Tyrantrum, but it'd be nice to see who everyone wants out of the Nintendo line up.

He still could be a slow/strong Sonic.

True, but considering Sonic seems to derive parts of his moveset from Sonic the Fighters and Sonic Battle, I don't doubt that's where they'll be drawing stuff for a Knuckles moveset from, too; and he's never been a Sonic clone in those games. Same with Tails, I suppose...but Knuckles seems to make more sense for this kind of game.

Didn't Project M base Knuckles on Sonic?

Although, yeah, I won't expect a 3rd party clone unless both companies were too lazy. Not to mention it's bad for PR.

They based Knuckles on Sonic, yes, but I don't think they made him a clone of him. Sort of like how Mewtwo and Roy are clones of Lucario and Marth in base form, but totally different in design.

Since so many people are complaining of inactivity, let's talk about third parties for a bit longer.

Is there any third party character/IP that you want Nintendo to buy?

Mega Man.

That is all, Nintendo have already proved with Smash 4 they care more about the Blue Robot then the one who own them.
Also, Mega Man feel just like a Nintendo character to me. So yeah, please Nintendo , buy Mega Man one day so that we can get MMX4 on Wii U Eshop.

I didn't know Roy was a clone of Mewtwo! :p

If anything, Lucario is a clone of Mewtwo in base form because Mewtwo was playable before Lucario in Melee. Even then, the only move they have that's similar is their neutral B, so I don't really consider them clones.

I was being literal on the clones thing; PM Roy and Mewtwo are, to the game, "duplicates" of Marth and Lucario. They share the same base, but are considered distinct characters to the coding, essentially.

They've got unique data pertaining to stuff like the CSS, matches and etc., but they're built over their original characters.

I was hoping for something a bit less predictable. :p

But I agree, both are suffering right now, and their brightest moment as of late has been Smash 4.

Not denying Roy is a clone, but you are calling Mewtwo a clone of Lucario based on PM, which is a mod of Brawl which came after Melee. Mewtwo was playable in Smash before Lucario, so I find it wrong to call Mewtwo a clone of Lucario. Lore-wise, Mewtwo is a clone of Mew.

I've seen some people say this but let me ask a question, why?

Tails fights as much as Sonic and Knuckles does and he pretty much shares most of Sonics moves including having his own and being able to integrate gadgets into his fighting style, why exactly does Knux "fit better" for this kind of game? Because he punches more? By that logic almost half the Smash cast don't "fit" tbh.

I just want my Super Fighting Robot back! Now that Mighty Delayed No. 9 seem to be not that great. I am really worry for the futur of the Mega Man franchise. The only thing we have got is a compilation of old game that have mixed opinion. And a new sTV show in 2017, but beside that? Not that much really. :/

Really, Mega Man need to have a game that could make the franchise as popular as before- But Capcom seem to be not really interest right now.:glare:

I get why Tails is so popular, but he'd probably be a very ranged character if we were to go with canon (or a Sonic clone). And have you seen how well projectile-focused characters do on tiers? :p Knuckles would be a easily viable threat in high-level competetive, IMO; thanks to his varied arsenal and powerful attacks. He'd almost be sort of like Shiek, actually.

And honestly, I think Tails is better saved for being a big reveal, anyways; maybe when the next game happens, he'll be a newcomer, but I'd love Knuckles to finally get adknowledged as Sonic's rival first.

About that, In Sonic the Fighters he doesn't really have any ranged moves like he does in Battle, if they borrow from that game and Sonic Battle he'd probably end up being somewhat of semi-clone of Sonic when not using any ranged attacks.

Tails being a clone of Sonic in any capacaty isn't really a bad thing since in an interview with Yuji Naka for Sonic The Fighters he does state that Sonic taught Tails how to fight.

There is no logical reason for why Nintendo hasn't bought Mega Man. Their second best-selling game of all time was literally running, jumping, and shooting, so it's not like they can't make a good one.

Mega Man has been in shambles ever since Inafune left Capcom. And Inafune's Might No. 9 and Red Ash aren't coming out any time soon. Yeah. Capcom needs someone with Inafune's vision badly. Maybe Inafune should just come back (not that it's going to happen.)

Nintendo buying Mega Man really depends on how well Capcom can lift itself. Street Fighter V is doing well by all means, so they don't seem to be a dire financial status now.

They can only pray SFV does well, otherwise they could find themselves like Konami.

Speaking of, who's buying Street Fighter V?

Quest 64. Not only so they can legally remake it properly(even if they might add dumb stuff that ruins the well-made classic turn-based gameplay. It would not be good with the battle gauge system), but they can do whatever they want with the ip. All they can legally do is release it on the VC at best. And that might not be the case either.

I'd have to say Alex Kidd.

The game would need a few tweaks, but it was still a great series at its time. Good enough for Alex to be SEGA's Mascot for awhile. I also wouldn't mind seeing Alex finally getting payback on Sonic. That'd be some funny irony right there.

If Smash got another third party character who would y'all want?
Shantae or, better yet, a toss-up between Crash and Spyro.

C'mon, we need one of the original Playstation funny animals on there, and I (among others) feel either of the two would fit best for Smash.

Well, a semiclone at most. Tails as a FULL clone, no tail-spinning flight included in some capacity? PeoplesChamp Now PeoplesChamp that's PeoplesChamp just PeoplesChamp underwhelming. PeoplesChamp

EDIT: GODDAMMIT! Why can't I use Chara's jumpscare sprite without it going BALLOON-OH out of nowhere?!

I seriously doubt SEGA would want to sell it to any one. :p Whether they care about it or not, it's a part of their history as a company.

Well, that's more or less what I meant, Tails would probably end up with a few similarities with Sonic because of his similar fighting style when he's not using ranged weapons, we do of course see him using a spinball attack like Sonic multiple times, thus a semi-clone at best like you say.

Of course his tail swipe ability and flight should be included since he has attacks in both Championship and Battle that requires him to fly, you can't have Tails without those, but you also have to have stuff like his arm canon for his ranged abilities so there's also a lot to work with.

They need someone like Inafune that isn't Inafune. He's just a money hungry *******.

I agree, I think that they could make Tails distinguishable enough from Sonic so that he's a semi-clone at worst.

What 3rd Party franchise I hope/think Nintendo should buy? It's a tie between Mega Man and Banjo & Kazooie. Capcom is practically mistreating Mega Man, and Smash Bros is the only break he's been able to catch for years. He wasn't even in UMvC3, where we got Zero instead. That's like adding in Falco but not Fox. Just doesn't feel right.

As for Banjo & Kazooie, those games are loved by many fans, and the last thing Rareware did with the IP was Nuts & Bolts... and we all know just how that was recieved. If they bought the IP made the next game in the style of the old ones, maybe Banjo Threeie could actually be a thing.

Runner-ups to these two would have to be IPs like Bomberman, Castlevania, and Super Mario RPG. As well as a few other classic franchises that I can't remember at the moment
