Im pretty new here but i thought i would express my thoughts on the next Smash Bros if thats alright with everyone. Well im hoping Link will retain his Twilight Princess appearance and have his character model based off the Zelda Wii U demo the showed in E3 2011. As for newcomers, im hoping for ones people will have probably already mentioned here, but i'll go ahead and mention them anyways which are King K.rool, Shulk, Little Mac, Takamaru, Issac or Mathiew, Isa Joe, Black Shadow or Deathborn, Samurai Goroh and Knuckle Joe.
First off, welcome to Smashboards
on to Smash stuff
In smash bros., link is usually based off his last appearance in zelda, which is evident in melee ( Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask), and brawl (Twilight Princess/Wind Waker), so therefore it's more likely he is going to be based off Skyward Sword (I do like his twilight princess look better)
As for your characters
K. Rool is Very likely
Shulk is likely
Little Mac is very likely
Takamaru is very likely
Isaac is likely (he'll probably get in over matthew do to being the face of the franchise)
Isa Joe is unlikely (do to sin and punishment being a small franchise, plus saki is more known)
Black Shadow/Deathborn/Samurai Goroh is unlikely (do to nintendo hating the f-zero franchise)
Knuckle Joe is unlikely (because Sakurai is humble about his franchise, and do to return to dreamland Bandana Dee is considered to be most likely for the forth kirby, but still more likely we don't get a kirby character
I also anticipate that they'll end up replacing Pokemon Trainer with the Johto representative since the last one was based off the trainer from Firered/Leafgreen and with the recent remakes of Gold and Silver they'll probably want to replace that trainer with a new one based on the new remakes. However, i hope they end up keeping both, but that's unlikely due to the fact so many people hate the idea of having many playable Pokemon characters...Im also hearing a lot of requests to add another Metriod character and many people tend to have arguments about both Ridley and Dark Samus.
Well how about they add either Adam Malkovich or Anthony Higgs? Before someone starts raging at me, yes, i know they are unlikely to be added, but i think someone like Anthony would make an interesting playable character. Though that's just an idea i wanted to put out there.
As for Earthbound i'd like to see Flint added in the game since i remember how there were quite a few people who wanted to see him in Brawl. I remember seeing movesets for him in videos years ago and i think he would be a nice fit in the smash universe. Though i have no idea what his odds would be for him to be included in the new game.
Lastly, i would really love to see Sonic return in the next smash bros and im afraid he might not come back, but due to recent rumors about him being included again im keeping my hopes up. Sonic was my main character in Brawl and i loved to play as him. Seeing him return would really put a smile in my face, so i hope i see him return.
Well, most likely red will stay for ssb4, do to him having more popular pokemon and him being the most reoccuring trainer
Ridley is probably going to get him do to him being the main antagonist of the franchise, and his huge popularity, Dark Samus is the main villain of the prime trilogy as well so
Don't get your hopes up for another earthbound character
With 3 sonic exclusives, I say his chances look pretty good
Why 3 on 3=??? Like seriously, at least do 8 on 8. Mario could easily do 11 on 11 anyways.
Because most pick-up basketball is either 3 on 3 or 5 on 5
