Since I know rather little about Dragon Quest, and it's rather less famous than Final Fantasy, I'd say they would probably choose someone from FFI-VI.

Probably one of the original classes from FFI, Cecil from FFIV, or Terra from FFVI.

It's possible they could use a Warrior of Light from FFI, using the redesign for the Warrior class seen in Dissidia.

But I don't think that's very likely. I really don't think Final Fantasy has a big shot at this game.

In other topics, I'm worried about Sonic. I hope that Mega Man's Rush Coil move isn't a sign of... well, repurposing assets, if you will.

If they were to choose someone from FF then my ideal character would probably be a composite of the six classes. Sort of like what Warrior of Light was doing although maybe not him specifically. They could also choose Cecil or Terra but I feel like WOL would be the most logical choice since he's technically one of the heroes from the first game.

Not too big a fan of Dragon Quest so I can't comment on that.

There are also other characters like Neku, Sora, and Chrono that they could use but those franchises aren't nearly as popular as the other two.

[up]I'm fairly confident he'll be in. They pretty much have to at this point and Sega and Nintendo have a close relationship anyway.

I would kill for Neku, ironically.

Neku would be neat if they had exclusive characters for each version but without that he's kind of obscure. Too bad they didn't actually make a second game. If they did he might have had a better shot.

Holding out hope that they will, one day, make a sequel. There was that whole "New 7 Days" image at the end of the iOS version, and Neku and Co in Kingdom Hearts recently.

It seemed to be hinting at something but so far nothing has come of it. It's also possible that a sequel could be for the iOS instead of 3DS.

Anyway, getting away from that. I thought about it and Sora probably wouldn't happen. Nintendo would have to license him from Disney and that would be fairly expensive. It's also questionable how important he is to Nintendo's history.

If we're getting a Square rep, I think it's going to be Cloud.

Cloud is about the last Square rep that will show up in a Smash Bros. game.

Cloud has only been in one(?) game on a Nintendo system and that was as a summon in a Kingdom Hearts game. If they're being serious about a third party character that's important to Nintendo's history than I can't see it being any FF character that's not WOL, Cecil, or Terra.

Consider the first Final Fantasy game that wasn't on a Nintendo system is the same one that Cloud is in, not to mention he hasn't made many significant (keyword) roles on Nintendo Final Fantasy games.

If they are going to add some one from Konami, I hope they replace Snake with Simon Belmont. I mean, compare Simon's most appearance on Nintendo consoles vs. Snake's handful appearance in Nintendo consoles.

While that would make more sense Snake is in because the creator asked Sakurai to put him in. Unless they have two Konami reps(unlikely) I doubt Belmont is getting in.

Yeah, Kojima wanted them to add Snake into Brawl (Well, he asked that even in Melee, but he was bit late on that), but it doesn't 100% mean he will ask that again. Really, Simon would presetent Konami in Super Smash Bros. lot more than Snake.

It probably depends on how important the Grandfather Clause is when Sakurai is choosing third parties.

I'd rather keep Snake. He's so hilarious to have in Smash Bros.

Seconding keeping Snake since he is one of my mains, if one of the less used ones.

a square rep should either be Vivi/black mage or a chocobo

Square rep should be Red Mage/Black Mage, Cecil, Terra, or Slime from Dragon Quest.

Or Gilgamesh!

Wait yes. Gilgamesh in Smash would be hilarious, and probably manage to make itself canon somehow.

As far as 3rd party characters go, I just hope they don't go overboard. Even Sakurai said they likely won't anyway. So the chances of seeing Cloud are minimal, at least for now.

EDIT: Besides, they said the number of characters won't increase by too much from Brawl. We'll likely see 40 characters in total.

There were 39 characters in Brawl, not 35. Sakurai on record did state this directly.

I could see 45 max, perhaps.

[up]I'm guessing that's 39 including all aspects of the one-slot characters? (i.e. Sheik/Zelda, Samus/ZSS, Charizard/Squirtle/Ivysaur.)

39 including them. It's 35 if you count form changers as one whole character.
