Smash Hero
Honestly, just because of the talk of him from Sakurai himself, Heihachi might happen but not be that surprising himself, especially if Bamco are helping with this game somehow. I can't say who'd be a massive shocker because.... there's a strong inability to make those guesses in general.Ok, so I have a topic for you all. Personally, I feel the possibility of a Japanese third party newcomer getting in Smash is very likely to happen. For an iconic third-party, what kind of character could you see getting in? We've had shocking additions like Cloud and Snake, whose series is mainly have more history with other platforms like Sony than Nintendo. What Japanese third-party could be the next surprising step up above Cloud and Snake?
Crash is both popular as peck and would fit the same kind of "Haha Smash got em before PSASBR" but he's western and not that kind of huge surprise anymore.
