I'm hoping too. I'm also hoping Matt Bozon got to talk with either Miyamoto or some other higher up about Shantae, because they did meet at E3.
" But I'd like to think he's hinting at something.
Honestly, it's surprising.
or is basically never seen again after a game or two. Not counting boss staples like Whispy, Cracko, or generic enemies. Dark Matter is the closest Kirby's had to a running villain, with the race being the main threat for Dreamland 2, 3, and (6)4.
Since Sakurai is doing fan-service characters now, I'm hoping he's leaning toward more newcomers than veterans characters.
You know, you make a point. Although I didn't see the Polygon article, I guess it would make sense for it being pulled down because of wishful thinking.I also remember the article @takai is talking about, and sadly that really was nothing more than the author's wishful thinking and contained no proof whatsoever about Isaac, Banjo & Kazooie or Shantae anywhere. IIRC the article was pulled for being pointless.
Definitely expecting
Take my word for it.
but I want to see Sakurai do more newcomers not just .
I think Banjo is more of a case of a fake leak classic of giving an unlikely character with high demand.
The way I see it, 3-5 newcomers.Definitely expecting
1) Ridley I understood the demand for but scoffed at his chances. Especially after the April Direct.
Ryu didn't have a single Street Fighter game on the WiiU, he's in.
Well want to see one difference?
100% orange Juice, if you're in the mood for a weird and addicting game.
technically only had two games when he debuted in Brawl.. For Wii U, Has technically had two as well...Shulk at the time technically only had one.. (Not counting the remake it got later. I've also heard the sequel coming soon is a Spiritual Sequel..
Now there is a worthy Smash Ballot candidate if I ever saw one. I mean look at the lack of car representation we have in that game. Clearly the best option. Forget Goku and Shrek. This is where it's at dudes.I'm tired. I read that as Putt Putt.
It would be nice to see both Shantae & Shovel make it in.Wait... I just realized
A few of the retro characters were like that as well... I mean sure the iconic aspect is there, and a lot of those are first parties but... maybe I'm just pulling that number of game titles thing out of fear myself.........
Umm..... Erm... Well- *Gets hit in the head with a Shovel*
...Ok. So maybe even I myself might have been getting a bit detractor-ish when I was taking on Shovel Knight...
I- I mean... why should number of games matter as long as you have a large fanbase, and your game is really successful? (especially since this ballot is going to be all about the fanservice..) I've also noticed his moveset pool is fairly decent too...
....Awwww. Dang it. I did the exact thing I didn't want to do >_<.. (Just call me Detractor Knight I guess. lolz)
*Sighs*... Ok. So maybe Shovel Knight could make for a promising Smash character... I would just really prefer a certain half-genie with more history with Nintendo, to at "least" get in first... (assuming Shovel were to be a thing to begin with.)
I mean.. I guess it wouldn't be all that bad to have two cool indie characters in the game ^_^... lol (Assuming it ever happened in the first place.. lol :/)

Has technically had two as well..."Shulk at the time technically only had one.. (Not counting the remake it got later. I've also heard the sequel coming soon is a Spiritual Sequel.." really only had one. gets treated like he only had one because even Sakurai didn't know that Myths & Monsters happened when he made uprising. I THINK only had the SNES game at the time.
I hope you're wrong, because i just played Brawl yesterday and remembered the beauty of 0-Death combos
Take my word for it.
I WANT Icies back.I hope you're wrong, because i just played Brawl yesterday and remembered the beauty of 0-Death combos
easy for em.
Take my word for it.
Will also return. Take my words. And maybe , but they will surely be the last.
, and were highly requested, and while was a bit of a reach, it's clear that he was something the fans didn't even know they wanted until they had it. And Sakurai has given no indication that he's stopping with these four, and with the time left until the ballot end date we could easily see some more surprises.As much as I've love to have my Melee mains back, I don't think I'd be very happy if they were brought back without the duality they're known and loved for. If I were given the choice between seeing the Ice Climbers watered down or not having them at all, then I'd rather not have them at all tbqh.I WANT Icies back.
I'd sell off
But I don't see them coming back in Smash 4 unless Sakurai guts them of the mechanic he chose them to embody and are known for which goes against basically everything we know about him.
I always thought about Icies being solo, but summoning the other one for their specials, so the synergy moves like Squall and Belay can stay true, but you can't do ridiculous combos. Then their final smash could be traditional Icies with wobbling… heheI WANT Icies back.

COULD they be done that way? Yes.
Hm... I'll take the error on the first one. I probably assumed as the first one and the Wii one had been the only ones shown on his trophy... I forgot a lot of trophies ignore some titles though.. lol1) "
No.
Not even close.
Arcade, NES, SNES, and Wii. That's OFF MEMORY.
2) "
And Xenoblade Chronicles X is a sequel. Same engine, but it's a colonization that directly ties into the backstory of Bionis & Mechonis revealed at the end of Chronicles that makes a direct sequel kind of difficult to manage.
Monolith soft did the same thing with XenoGears and Saga sequels iirc.
It's like Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy, the sequels are different tales, different locations, different characters, but the gameplay and basal principles still in fact.
I love Rongs stuff.
Ok then... interesting combo...Hm... I'll take the error on the first one. I probably assumed as the first one and the Wii one had been the only ones shown on his trophy... I forgot a lot of trophies ignore some titles though.. lol
The point I was trying to make was, we usually judge a lot of franchises by the amount of entries they have... which is understandable, but if that were considered, quite a few characters that have only had a hand full of titles wouldn't even be in the game to begin with.. lol XD.
Anyways. Reading into things, it's not looking like Shovel Knight is even going to get a sequel anytime soon. From what I've read up on it the Devs still have a bunch of free content updates planned before they even consider it.
As for Ice Climbers.. at this point, it is either split up, or not in at all. The 3DS limitations, which were the very thing that got them cut in the first place, are still there regardless of the ballot... If they can't be split, they won't be coming back at all. We probably won't see these guys again until Smash 5.. :/
Errm.... um... What would this character even be called? Shantovelbeck? Shantoveleck?.... Shan- *Logic circuits fry*
Not to mention Shovel Knight has guest boss battles on each console except the Wii U. And yet people think he deserves to be in more than Shantae.
Well so far at least... One should bare in mind this game is getting free content DLC. So that said, we don't know if they might do a deal with Nintendo to let Shovel fight a Nintendo character as a boss...Not to mention Shovel Knight has guest boss battles on each console except the Wii U.

Didn't that already happened before? I'm pretty sure I've already seen footage of Meta-knight as a boss in Shovel Knight somewhere?
Hmm... I'm not sure. I haven't seen any footage on it.
I think I remember now, I haven't checked this video to make sure, but I think the guy in this vidoe with Johnny just brought up the idea for speculation reasons.
Honestly, no. Shovel Knight really only has an "edge" due to his earlier lead thanks to his Smashified image. This is just my opinion, however.
