Who's your most nostalgic fighter/newcomer request?

[1.21 Jiggawatts]

Marx from Kirby
I know he is already a boss and I am ok with that, but being a playable character would be awesome

 

[GhostM]

Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden, mainly because he's one of my favorite old school characters from the NES era.

According to the Google theory, he is going to be in

 

[Crescentium]

Swampert (or hell, any non starter Pokemon that rarely gets any spotlight). Kinda sucks that gen 3 doesn't have a Smash rep. To rub salt in the wound, Sceptile and Blaziken are in Pokken, but Swampert gets jack ****.

Chibi-Robo would be super dope too. Loved that game as a kid with it's quirky sound effects.

 

[Wunderwaft]

Crash Bandicoot without a doubt
Those games were the reason I wanted a Playstation. To me he was part of the tri-rivalry that was Mario, Sonic, and Crash.

I would be pretty happy if the Google Theory turned out true, especially with Doomslayer in the game.

No joke, I used to request Spongebob during the Smash 4 days, and I got pissy when my brother told me he's never gonna happen. Boy, do I feel stupid now.

I love your avatar.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

Geno, Banjo, Dixie Kong, Chun-Li, Impa, Roll, Rhythm Heaven Rep, Advance Wars Rep, Isaac, and Krystal

I'd take Crono any day. Chrono Trigger is basically the 'nostalgia' RPG for anyone born around/before the SNES/PS1 era.

I don't care if:

• You think he'd be "just another swordfighter"
• You think Robin already fills the role of spellsword
• You think his design is dated
• You think he isn't relevant enough to be included

I would **** my pants if he was announced. But we live in the darkest timeline, where Square hates the Chrono series and is super stingy with their IP.

If only Square didn't fuse with Enix.

 

[Mogisthelioma]

Since NSMB Wii was one of my first absolute favorites, I'd be pretty happy with either Blue/Yellow toad in the game. I don't really see how they can be considered generic enemies anymore (also considering we have a piranha plant in this game).

 

[ShadowTheHedgehogZ]

Wait Square and Enix were separate companies?

 

[Sean²]

Back in the day it was SquareSoft and Enix Corporation. Square brought FF and Enix brought Dragon Quest into existence.

Square made a crappy FF movie and were in deep doodoo money wise. They soon merged into Enix and that company became the powerhouse you know today.

 

[shinhed-echi]

Mine would be

Mike Jones (StarTropics)
Crono, and Doomguy.

I guess Metal Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles could fit in the nostalgic category for me. Especially Metal because he’s the one that has undergone the least changes when transcending to the Uekawa designs (same palette, same eyes, pretty much almost exactly of his classic design).

But gotta give credit, I got:


So I can’t really complain as far as nostalgia goes... but my most nostalgic one remains Mike Jones.

I didn't take part in online newcomer discussions until Smash 4. My most wanted new character was Palutena (wanted her since Brawl), who was leaked. The leak was questionable looking at best; it was an elaborate fake, if I recall correctly. Anyway, Palutena was officially confirmed during E3/the Smash 4 Invitational. I attended both events that year, and in order to get good seats at the Invitational, I cosplayed as a Nintendo character. Said character was none other than Palutena. The timing was perfect. The hype was unbelievable. I still remember some person yelling "She's right there!" when her reveal trailer came out while we were all standing in line. People took pictures and whatnot. I remember a woman there who dressed up as Pit; her costume was pretty cool. Aside from the weather (I was uncomfortable as heck standing in the hot sun for so long), it's always fun to reminisce about that day.

But if we're solely talking about childhood memory type of nostalgia, then I'm a sucker for Team Rocket.

 

[RetrogamerMax]

Yes, they were.

 

[Sari]

Before the days where I went deep into character speculation, my most wanted were Bomberman, Waluigi, and Drybones.

 

[Deleted member]

My most nostalgic newcomer request is Waluigi

 

[RealPokeFan11]

Crash Bandicoot. He was a part of my childhood.

 

[Deleted member]

Bandana Dee, I wanted him to be in a smash bros game since return to dream land was first released
