I'm just happy Bomberman is in the game at all to be perfectly honest. As much as I would love for him to be playable, since he's my most wanted third party character, (heck, I even voted for him during the ballot,) getting him in Smash at all is quite a big deal in my eyes. Like I said before, I know a lot of you guys doubt this but I do think there is a pretty solid chance that he could be made into a DLC character.

Like @Fuzzy Pickles! said, Sakurai could have caught wind of a new Bomberman game in the works later into development. I think if there is enough demand for Bomberman to become playable (which, as you can see, there is) he could become DLC. I don't want to get off topic here, but I think the same could happen for Waluigi since the backlash for him being an assist trophy again is absolutely insane. I want people to stop thinking that getting a character as an assist trophy completely rules them out as being implemented as a fighter in that game, because Smash is a constantly changing franchise. Who knows what the future holds for this game. I want everyone to try and remain positive and be happy Bomberman is in at all, especially as something as dynamic as an assist trophy.

I think this comic by JamesTheReggie is a good example of why we should be happy.

I agree that something is indeed better than nothing, and that any actual vitriol is unwarranted, but if people want him playable then it's clear that the way to do it is to let people know that you want him playable.

I wouldn't get your hopes up for DLC this game. It didn't happen last game and there is no reason to expect Sakurai to change his mind on him within months of his disconfirmation. It's like saying Ridley would be DLC when he was a boss in Smash Wii U, except without a "he can't work" statement. Instead, we need a plan for a grassroot campaign right now. The fact that we are already expressing discontentment with his status in this game shows that we want change. We do that by taking matters into our own hands and supporting him at every opportunity. That means:

  • Supporting Bomberman by presenting what he would bring to Smash, emphasis on game play, and how he can help market the next Smash game
  • Buying his games
  • Supporting Konami's multimedia efforts which they have spoke about for Bomberman
  • Maintaining a good reputation among the Super Smash Bros. fan base

We have one of the most favorable position for a third-party available. Think of what he has going for him:

  • He's a multi-player icon
  • He has a successful recent game and Konami has plans for expanding his franchise
  • He has potential for a great move set
  • He is an Assist Trophy which means Sakurai did not forget about him as he was picked during the time in development when his franchise was dead
  • Konami works with Nintendo and Super Bomberman R is likely the reason why we are getting games from them again when they openly declared they were moving to mobile-only except Pro Evolution Soccer

We have witnessed nearly every major fan request granted this game along with likely King K. Rool. Combined with the DLC likely removing more candidates like Spring Man and Rex and Pyra and we're left with a barren speculation scene. Think of what grounds we could cover in the years leading up to a post-SSBU. We could make Bomberman the most wanted newcomer for the next game and if that happens, Sakurai or whoever takes over will have no choice but to listen to us.

The licensing issue has been taken care of. We just need to convince Nintendo to take the final step and achieve our dreams.

So who wants to be in the Bomberman PM group so we can start planning?

I know this is just me grasping at straws, but I wouldn't count Bomberman out just yet. Now that we have Ridley announced, we have yet to see how he'll interact with the Pyrosphere stage where he's already a boss NPC. Sakurai might be OK with a character existing in two different forms, and given that Bomberman already has an air dodge, a hurtbox and the ability to punch bombs, it wouldn't take too much to turn him into a playable character.

I was in the original, I think it was called "Bomb Squad" for Brawl, under a different name. I'm disappointed he's not a character but I also feel like this means Simon's getting his chance.

We don’t even know if Pyrosphere is returning.

I think expecting Sakurai to go against his previously displayed game design - not just him saying in an interview “Ridley won’t work” - is probably going to get Bomberman nowhere in this game.

We don't but I think it's fair to say that Pyrosphere and all the Wii U stages sans Miiverse stand a good chance of returning.

I'm not expecting him to be playable though but I haven't counted him out yet.

I'm definitely not saying to expect him, I'm just saying it is a possibility. Likely? Probably not, but Smash always continues to surprise me. I don't want anyone to get their hopes up, but at the same time I don't want anyone to get discouraged. I don't think it's good for anyone to get too hopeful or too discouraged. All I'm saying is there is a chance, regardless of how small it is. I don't think an assist trophy should let anyone get too upset. But yeah, definitely don't get your hopes up. It's still a really small chance, but a chance nonetheless.

It was a good run, guys. At least he has a pretty cool Assist Trophy, it even uses both remote and standard bombs.

What's this group about? I'm interested
I want to make a hub where all Bomberman fans, supporters for Smash in particular, can come together to support our White Bomber. For now I'm just inviting people from the thread to come up with ideas for how we are going to launch this campaign. Added!

See, this is why we should not be entertaining the possibility of an AT becoming playable. There has never been a case where a previously disconfirmed character in a non-playable role became playable within the same game, not even within DLC. We're introducing a slippery slope where first we tell ourselves this is possible, then likely, then something that's totally going to happen. See the amount of mental gymmnastic that goes into this?

We are in this for the long haul. If we put our eggs in the basket for this game, we will come off as desperate and then why should people on the fence about supporting take us seriously? Whereas if we work towards the next Smash game, we have more time to plan things out and can influence what characters gets in the next game, even if it is a hard reboot.

That's a neat feature. I didn't notice the remote bomb part myself. Speaking of which, I notice his model isn't based off of Super Bomberman R but rather his last game before his hiatus. That makes me wonder, did Sakurai not know that Super Bomberan R existed before making him an AT? The game was cheaply and quickly made after all.

Edit: We should definitely consider doing a hub where all Bomberman fans go to. I was talking to a few Bomberman fans and I've found some on Twitter that are interested in banding together,

https://twitter.com/FuzzyPickles94/status/1008047154261299200 ( archive )
1529254902930.png

One more time, it is very important we start using archive.is to save links, web pages, and even save videos relating to Bomberman and his potential Smash appearance. That site will prove to be a life save when we have to prove what we say but the link went down. An archival system is necessary.

Another edit: New update: I spoke with Gonza, who was working on a Bomberman for Smash movement on Twitter and he has elected to let me lead the movement. There's a Twitter group that I can invite you to if you want.

What are the odds of them realizing what a mistake it is to have him as an assist trophy, remove it, and make him into a playable character in time for the release?

Low.

First off, he knew what he was doing. I really think that he wants AT's to be an important thing, and wants big name characters involved as well as smaller ones. So it was not a mistake, it was a conscious decision. We kind of have to let him know, that we want him to be more, respectfully of course, so let's please not say things like it was a mistake, or its insulting, etc...

Mistake or not, I'm not gonna pretend to not be disappointed when big name characters are rendered as assist trophies. Call me ungrateful. Call me entitled. Call me what you will.

Bomberman music, unfortunately, isn't a natural fit for an extra track on a Metal Gear or Castelvania stage.

It would actually work alright on one of the Pac-Man stages, though....and would.be a natural fit on a Mario Party map due to the Hudson Soft connection.

I don't expect you to, but instead of getting angry, try to make it better. I'm disappointed too, but I think it'll be better to make it clear we don't like the AT in a respectful way than to make the guy feel like **** because he had something different in mind.

I know it's disappointing but I'm still happy he's in at all. Not only that, but the fact that his series came back to life after being dormant for so long, the guy is finally back, and I'm very happy about that. (If only the Bonk series could come back as well...).
Also here's hoping for some Bomberman music in this game too.

NEWS UPDATES

Right now we are currently in the planning stage for our movement. We're setting everything up and planning things accordingly so that when an opportunity comes around to support Bomberman for Smash or his franchise, we are ready for it. With that said, let me introduce you to our Twitter and Instagram account:

Twitter: @superbomberbros
Instagram: @superbomberbros

Since the thread is still up, I will continue to release updates about what we are doing and possibly work through a revision of the thread to refocus on what we are doing. I will clarify, the overall goal is that he gets into a Super Smash Bros. game as a playable character, not specifically Ultimate.
I know it's disappointing but I'm still happy he's in at all. Not only that, but the fact that his series came back to life after being dormant for so long, the guy is finally back, and I'm very happy about that. (If only the Bonk series could come back as well...).
Also here's hoping for some Bomberman music in this game too.
We're actually one of the few disconfirmed characters that are in a better position for next time even in the case of a hard reboot. With our growing fan base in reaction to his disconfirmation, he will become one of the most wanted characters for next game.

A couple of important announcements.

First off, we have moved to the official Super Bomberman R server for the campaign to get him into Super Smash Bros. All of our campaigning and planning will take place here. It will also serve as the best place to discuss Bomberman.

Also, I have good news. Konami retweeted the Super Bomber Bros. campaign for Super Smash Bros. Even if this is PR tweeted in response to the Assist Trophy, the mere existence of acknowledgement shows that they are on our side and willing to negotiate with Sakurai or Nintendo should an opportunity arise. That's not to say he will be DLC but it especially bodes well for the future when we know Konami has our backs.

Don't believe me? Take a look below:

konamiretweetbombermanforsmash.jpg


We are literally one step away from a playable Bomberman. We just have to get Nintendo to agree, the hardest part. However, I am confident that with enough support, we #BomberBros will #MakeBombermanPlayable.

Edit: Here is a fantastic model that ThatOnePaperBoy made. Deviantart. Twitter:

i don't think that the very act of being an AT means anything against a character chances in the future. the fact that it didnt made the cut is more important, but at the end of the day, being an assit trophie due to popularity is not a bad thing IMO. Unlike Ridley where Sakurai didnt saw the character working in the past (corrected now, tyvm) and decided that it would make a better boss, I dont think that none of the popular bypedal assist trophies are AT cause sakurai looked at the character and said "I have the resources to make this very popular charactera playable character, but he certainly works better as an assist!"
(The only exception may be waluigi or non protagonist third parties)
What im going for is that a character being an AT isn't a reason for dropping support, if say character support is extremely popular, and Sakurai is looking for a popular character to add during say DLC,, i don't think they will say "oh, but this character is already an assist, better luck next time".

Although im not 100% sure if we are getting DLC for this game. I certainly hope so though :s

I've always supported him. But, unfortunately he's an Assist Trophy. Hey, it's better than nothing, right? I still support him to this. Maybe he'll be in the next Smash when the next Nintendo platform comes out. Who knows?

Honestly i don't want to wait for a decade ir another Nintendo console for Bomberman yo be in Smash. I don't think Bomberman has 0 chances in SSBU after he got in as Assist Trophy but at the same time, i don't get my hopes up.
I did what i could do by some videos about Bomberman in SSBU:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tDeZde0OLfQ
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dOSz-UOlOcM

I even Made some constructive tweets about how Bomberman can still be in Smash:

https://mobile.twitter.com/AgustinEygus/status/1011425829077901313
https://mobile.twitter.com/AgustinEygus/status/1008450364318896128

I'm all here to support the move of Bomberman being in a Smash game by some way. I'm already in the discord but i found nothing of the Smash thing. I'm also following the Instagram account account so i will do whatever to help.

Here's an incredible Bomberman pose by Patchy shoving the bomb right up Wario's creek that fits perfectly with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's artstyle.

For those who want Bomberman by himself:

Effective now, it will be our Twitter banner and on the top of this thread. Please support Patchy and his works, he's done a lot for the Super Bomber Bros. campaign.

I absolutely love the image. I think it takes a bit of the wind out of the sails of Pokemon Trainer in the artwork but by itself it's truly amazing. If I had to choose another spot for him then it'd be cool to see him standing next to Olimar as the Mr. Saturn the Pikmin are carrying is replaced by the bomb (fuse unlit obviously).

I'm also glad we have people keeping up the fight to have him in. Despite being an AT he'd still be my top (ok, obviously given my signature not number 1 but number 2) choice if another ballot were to come out because he really deserves to be in the game.

I should mention that for Esperanto, Spanish, and Portuguese Brazilian speakers, we have accounts for all three on Twitter. Here they are:
More details coming soon about our future plans.

I've always found that spot rather interesting so I'm glad Patchy took advantage of it and made a hilarious picture out of it. Imagine mass destruction across Planet Bomber and then be paid back tenfolds for your crimes. That's gotta hurt.

I'm also glad that we haven't given up the fight yet for Bomberman. In fact, I think the AT confirmation what was needed to kicks fan into gear and start campaigning for him.

Edit Before I forget, these posts shared on Reddit and Instagram have a total of over 3K each and they haven't stopped climbing. It's incredible the response we're getting.

Simon is just adding insult to injury for me. Why does he get in but not the actually genre defining Hudson mascot?
Tbf, Simon is also genre defining, it's literally half named after his series. Metroidvania.

I'm still salty though, every time someone says 'he's better as an AT, all he does is put down bombs' I want to point out that putting down, picking up, throwing, punching and kicking bombs is more Smash moveset than FE characters who have 2-3 different animations for sword swings, more moves than lil mac has punches and more moves than Mario has canonically used, and that's without even venturing into his wackier adventure games or different types of bombs.

I'm still salty though, every time someone says 'he's better as an AT, all he does is put down bombs' I want to point out that putting down, picking up, throwing, punching and kicking bombs is more Smash moveset than FE characters who have 2-3 different animations for sword swings, more moves than lil mac has punches and more moves than Mario has canonically used, and that's without even venturing into his wackier adventure games or different types of bombs.
I just want to stress, while I love Castlevania, it got the triple platinum red carpet. 34 tracks, echo on debut, new model of Simon despite the Lord of Shadows one existing cause Sakurai apparently dislikes redheads, assist trophy, and a stage with tons of hazards who are bosses from the series. Bomberman’s model is a rip from R, only new thing about him is that remote control model which anyone could make in blender.


Seriously, Sonic the most iconic third party in Smash, SONIC has only 20 tracks. And Simon did not get as much support as Bomberman I know that, way more people have made smashified Bomberman or model swaps/psas for Bomberman in smash. Even in this extensive poll, Bomberman ranked above Simon and even Cloud. Not saying Bomberman is more important than Final Fantasy, but Bomberman has his place in Smash and an assist trophy is demeneaning.

Also I am really tired of those people who think politely asking Sakurai for a character equals harassment on an unrelated note.

I have already supported Bomberman for a long time; I have very fond memories of bomberman 64 and BM Hero.

We need to argue Bomberman’s franchise has the same footing as Castlevania. We already know Bomberman is a more popular character, hence all the smashified Bomberman fanart, psa and moveset mods, being in Super Smash Flash 2 long before Simon, and on on top of the poll above Simon, Cloud, Shadow, Zero, and Daisy I listed above in an earlier post.

The site I listed has only Japanese sales and does not list games like Caslevania 2-4 and Bomberman II and Super Bomberman 1-2, but as seen from it, Bomberman overall has more sales in Japan than Castlevania.

I have heard Super Bomberman 2 has sold overall more than Super Castlrvania but have no sources on this other than rumors and VGChartz, I want to know if that is true or not, since that could help us immensely.

The Kremling Kampaigner, the people responsible for the successful campaign to bring back King K. Rool to the mainstream and made him playable, has endorsed our blossoming campaign,
On an unrelated note, we support the @superbomberbros and their efforts to #MakeBombermanPlayable. Like K. Rool, Bomberman was absent for a long time, but the fans persevered and now he's back. Next step is as a playable character!
Second tweet:
It's amazing how a successful campaign put in a good word for us. With endorsement from them and Source Gaming's owner PushDustIn, Bomberman's appeal definitely goes far and wide.

Be on the lookout for a tweet endorsing the Kremling Kutthroats' effort to become the main K. Rool server and our website within the next few days.
