In regards to Other 3rd Party and Namco-Bandai characters... Do we really need all the possibilities? I mean, yes, we can take the time to list out every one of them, but in the long run it feels like more work than reward to list side characters. 3rd Party characters are perhaps the most restricted form of characters of all. Unless they're either the main character or have been specifically stated to be wanted in Smash Bros., we should shorten our list.

To start, keep Ryu (as the main character) and M. Bison (as noted for creators' interest in Smash), but remove Chun-Li.

I disagree about removing Chun-Li since she's one of the most popular and recognized characters from the Street Fighter franchise.

She, Ryu and M. Bison are enough for the chart, in my opinion.

By that logic, Ken should be on there too on part of also being one of the most popular and recognized characters. Regardless of how Luigified Ken is to Ryu, there would certainly be a double-standard if we include Chun-Li but not him.

Otherwise, less is more. It seems extremely unprobable that either Chun-Li nor Ken would get in before Ryu or M. Bison would on part of them having more significance to Street Fighter beyond being popular.

Chun-Li is typically the go-to character from the SF series for Capcom's crossovers aside from Ryu.
That is why she will remain on the chart alongside him.

True, Chun-li was in Tatsunoko and Marvel where Ken and Akuma weren't guaranteed appearances.

Wonder what here recovery move would be... Spinning Bird Kick?

Not sure if supported by wires, or really just that impressive.

So then, I assume we're all set for the next list then?

It's not like I want to hurry us up, but we're running a bit short on time right now.

Alright, to save up on time, there's going to be considerably less 3rd Parties than initially planned.
Just going with ones that have mention (or by association) and have notable fan demand for non-Namco characters, and just a few series for Namco.
They will also be put together.

Sorry for the disappointment.

Eh, it's ok.

We all knew that a lotta the 3rd parties were stretching it.

Any fighting gym trainers in Pokemon? A trio of Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee & Hitmontop would make so much sense for Smash.

Soon, the first few checks will be ticked off the chart (and maybe some new ones added)

Who will it be?! Soon!!!

I honestly think we'll see a chunk of the following in the trailer tomorrow:

Ridley, K.Rool, Palutena, Shulk, Lloyd/Pac-Man, or Megaman.

Ridley is likely either showing up now or not at all.
King K. Rool and Palutena are very likely to show up.
And Lloyd or Pac-Man are likely to show up in the trailer, at the very least before Mega Man. Seeing Mega Man will likely be a bonus to the trailer, much like Snake was.

Shulk is the only one I'm on the fence about. He's highly requested, but being from only one game makes me think he's low-profile enough to where he'll be revealed at some other time, much like Olimar, Dedede, or Diddy.

I thought shulk was from 3 games, all from the same new series.

Nah. Only one.

Xenoblade.

The Last Story and Pandor's Towers are seperate IPs. They were just made by the same people.

I'd be riding the hype train, if I didn't have to take a bus into town to a meeting. Not quite as exciting.

To recap, Mega Man and Villager (Animal Crossing) confirmed.

Mega Man comes with Rush and uses Robot Master attacks.

Villager not only puts Tom Nook out the Window, but his recovery seems to be nicking Balloon Fighter's gear, puttign him in doubt too.

Oh and Pit was shown to have new attacks so Palutena could potentially not be his FS anymore.

Of all the characters that weren't believable that were added to the chart, this one manages to slip past the radar. -_-
