Fun fact: the only DLC characters we got in Smash 4 that weren't "proportionate" human designs were and . In contrast...my only concern with smash moving forward if we get a fire emblem lord and get laura is how many humanoid characters we would have. I'd like to maintain the variety which is why i like midna and wolf link, rabbid peach, dixie (or funky) anda new pokemon. I feel like aesthetically sakurai values visual variety becuase, while it is merely surface level, it allows you to catch more eyes. This is part of the reason people love games like marvel and its my biggest issue with DBFZ.
Heihachi would be pretty cool.What do you guys think about the possibility of a Tekken or Soul Calibur rep?
Something something Nintendo has no third party games, something something has to rely entirely on first party titles.It just feels really bogus to me to say ''I just want to keep the Nintendo feel." but not want third parties in Smash Brothers because it'd ruin the ''Nintendo feel"
Nintendo isn't and never has been just first party. First party is important to a company's success, but everyone needs help from their friends every now and then.
I could definitely see a Tekken character happening. It helps that Heihachi was considered before and he ended up getting a Mii costume. It's probably a toss up between him and Jin if one does make it.What do you guys think about the possibility of a Tekken or Soul Calibur rep?
This needs to be everywhere on social media like Facebook and Twitter!So I'll be honest, I'm still really cynical about it, but because I'm such a nerdy fanboy of the leak trio in question I knocked up a quick pic to celebrate the occasion of our first vaguely interesting leak. Enjoy!
Or don't. I don't care, but I still did a thing.
Not that long ago (though longer than I'd care to admit) people genuinely thought Classic Mega Man and Castlevania were Nintendo franchises, a thing repeated with Ace Attorney, Cooking Mama and Professor Layton on the DS. If they felt "Nintendo enough" for that to happen then one figures that being 3rd party doesn't compromise Nintendo-ness in and of itself.It just feels really bogus to me to say ''I just want to keep the Nintendo feel." but not want third parties in Smash Brothers because it'd ruin the ''Nintendo feel"

Well... if I need to explain it, then it wouldn't be a joke anymore lol.
Er... Are you joking? 'Cause if you are, it went over my head.
Looks pretty solid, however I think you based it too much off of the Wii U version. You should try to go a little more wild with this.So I made this main menu for Switch. What do you think?
Reboot Dante in PSASBR reminds of Live Action Maleficent in Disney Infinity.Sony had a similar thing that became a problem when they decided "let's do out own Smash" and we all realised that all the icons were 3rd party and most weren't playing ball. Only 3rd party I'd say were a PS icons were Heiatchi and Raiden (filling in for Snake). They got the wrong Dante by will of the Dark God Mar K'teng and Big Daddy and Isaac Clarke were more multiplatfrom.
Parappa, Sweet Tooth, Spike and Sir Dan are great and all but they really aren't Crash, Spyro, Cloud, Lara Croft or Classic Dante.
I'm assuming that due to the timing of the ballot, neither drew in strong numbers. Remember, this was before Crash N. Sane Trilogy and Spyro Reignited Trilogy sparked interest in both franchises again, and in the case of Spyro had to deal with the controversial Skylanders appearance for the time being. I especially doubt Spyro was even thought of in Japan at all due to the negative reception of the Spyro games over there.Everyone's talking about third party performances in the ballot and how much they mean so that begs the question, how did Crash and Spyro perform in the ballot? Personally, I don't think either drew huge numbers at all.
If you're referring to that post on Gamefaqs saying it was fake, the account who said that was not the same as the 4chan leaker, and the 4chan leaker has since stated that it was not he who said it was fake. He has maintained his stance that it was true, and I don't believe we have received solid evidence that it is fake yet.Crash and Spyro leak is fake
It is fake because they got pretty much everything wrong. Literally the only bit of information that was right was the date, and even then it only applied to the US due to how time zones work.If you're referring to that post on Gamefaqs saying it was fake, the account who said that was not the same as the 4chan leaker, and the 4chan leaker has since stated that it was not he who said it was fake.

Yeah that looks neat but you forgot the most important piece of the menu...So I made this main menu for Switch. What do you think?
Incoming Zelda rant, and the reason I don't like to talk about Zelda when it comes to Smash:Third parties have NOT one thing to do with any Nintendo character not getting in.
It doesn't work like that home skillets.
''We got Crash Bandicoot over K. Rool! How dare he take K. Rool's spot." is just a silly thing to say.
Sakurai isn't picking a third party to neglect a Nintendo character.
So again...
''They put in Cloud, Bayonetta, Ryu, Mega Man, and Pac Man over a Zelda rep? So gross."
Zelda isn't getting reps, because well, we've been over this 97 times. There's no clear cut person to add after Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf.
1. InklingAlright guys and gals we're getting close. Before any random character reveals what do you think will be the next 4 characters revealed and why?
1 Inklings - Confirmed
2 Rayman - Hes going to be the big 3rd party reveal
3 Paper Mario - The new IPs generally come at the front. My Third new IP is from Rythem Heaven which I believe will be revealed closer to the end.
4 Dixie Kong - She seems like the best on my list of "Series Expanding" characters to show off with her game's re-release.
5 Isaac - He will be the retro character this game. the retro character has consistently been one of the first reveals.
What're your bets?
2 3rd parties in the first 5? Ballsy bet, I like it.1. Inkling
2. Banjo-Kazooie, and the original games are getting the remake treatment.
3. Captain Toad
4. Dixie Kong and K.Rool in a joint trailer
5. Crash Bandicoot
How can Isaac be a retro rep? Isaac from Golden Sun in 2001 right? Are they going to skip the late 80's and 90's to add Isaac as the retro rep? Pretty much only one gets added every game, and I doubt the one for this Smash would be Issac. Not trying to disparage Isaac's chances overall, but I don't see how he's a "retro rep".Alright guys and gals we're getting close.

3 to 5 newcomers is my personal prediction for the big E3 reveal - Part of me imagines we'd see all five of them revealed at once in a big trailer like Brawl's when we had Meta Knight, Pit, Zero Suit Samus, Wario and Snake revealed in the same trailer.Hey, I got a thing!
How many Newcomers do you think will be shown at E3?
I’m thinking 5 is a good number, especially if the game is releasing this year. 3 in the presentation. 2 in the Treehouse.
What do you guys think?

the dlc i dont really care about becuase it can be argued post release content has a shorter cycle and outside factirs play a large part. not having to recreate a characters unique body saves time. theres a reason mewtwo and lucas were the only ones: the assets already existed.Fun fact: the only DLC characters we got in Smash 4 that weren't "proportionate" human designs were and . In contrast...
Heihachi would be pretty cool.
Well he is a retro character from a dead franchise (Sitting at 17 years now). Which is the first reason I'd say he fits in the retro pool. He consistently makes the 10 ten in character votes in each region. He has move set potential. It doesnt look like he has a lot of rival blonde hair sword boys to compete with. And as we have seen from the ballots a lot of the characters chosen are characters people in their 20-30s grew up with. He seems like the best character to fill in the age gap since most of my other characters are new game predictions except for excite biker who is way older. Sakurai has to appeal to all the audience. plus with Isaac on the initial 5 the general Smash fan will be excited because they would know he came from the ballot which would get them excited about others in his same age group (Advanced wars, Ray, and such).How can Isaac be a retro rep? Isaac from Golden Sun in 2001 right? Are they going to skip the late 80's and 90's to add Isaac as the retro rep? Pretty much only one gets added every game, and I doubt the one for this Smash would be Issac. Not trying to disparage Isaac's chances overall, but I don't see how he's a "retro rep".

A good reason to add Mimikyu. Everyone seems to doubt him just because he's not humanoid like Decidueye.My only concern with smash moving forward if we get a fire emblem lord and get laura is how many humanoid characters we would have. I'd like to maintain the variety which is why i like midna and wolf link, rabbid peach, dixie (or funky) anda new pokemon.

Well to be fair, they also got the end of virtual console correct. Also, it's still possible that the Nintendo Classics label and the rumored GBA games are still happening but just haven't been announced yet. After all, Nintendo is known to hold surprises like this and reveal them later on to generate hype. The only things we can say the leak definitively got wrong were the August release date and the the $2.50 price on the NES games.It is fake because they got pretty much everything wrong. Literally the only bit of information that was right was the date, and even then it only applied to the US due to how time zones work.
Isaac's not retro and Dixie Kong would most likely be revealed closer to the game's release as a generous extra addition like Wolf.Alright guys and gals we're getting close. Before any random character reveals what do you think will be the next 4 characters revealed and why?

Nope I'm going for the actual first 5 line up. I see you added Decidueye. I figured the poke rep would come later with squirtle and ivysaur1. Decidueye
2. Captain Toad
3. K. Rool
4. Heihachi Mishima
2 relatively new characters with solid demand for safety, one ballot character that ended last game as a Mii Costume, and one character revealed to have been planned for Smash once upon a time and ended last game as a Mii Fighter Costume, who also comes from a game that has been including many characters from outside Tekken recently.
EDIT: if we doin' a most wanted characters list too than here I go again:
1. Mimikyu (WHO WOULDA THOUGHT)
2. Ashley
3. Brave Lucina (keep Roy though.)
4. Ice Climbers
5. Wolf
6. Daisy/Waluigi/Capt. Toad (All are pretty cool in their own way and I doubt I'll get to see more than one of them)
7. Heihachi Mishima (I would actually love this despite how awkward he'd look next to the rest of the cast)
8. Viridi
9. K. Rool
10. I will shoot myself in the foot and say Amy Rose. Why not.
I mean you also listed Inklings in your 5 which seemed kinda redundant since, as you said, they are confirmed. So I just skipped that one. I also have no idea why anyone would bet on Ivysaur and Squirtle at this point.Nope I'm going for the actual first 5 line up. I see you added Decidueye. I figured the poke rep would come later with squirtle and ivysaur
Oh yea, I mean i see what you did I was just responding to the second half of your post where you said "if we doin' a most wanted characters list" I gotcha nowI mean you also listed Inklings in your 5 which seemed kinda redundant since, as you said, they are confirmed. So I just skipped that one.
I like it! I've been working on one myself:So I made this main menu for Switch. What do you think?
