On one hand, Belmont is a better choice than Snake.
On the other, having a straight-faced, semi-realistic loon as a contrast to everything chaotic around him is a genius idea. Hmm...
🏳️⚧️she/her | Vio Rhyse AlberiaOne third party character per Company is expected, even if Sakurai didn't outright say it. He has said that putting in third parties is a "special" thing, so we probably won't get two Konami characters.
He also said Namco-Bandai is not being given special consideration either, so we may or may not get a character from them. Not guaranteed, but reasonably expected.
Shadow?Yeah, our Namco characters are Link and DK. No problem here.
(So I'm not the only one who thought of that joke. ^_^ )
🏳️⚧️she/her | Vio Rhyse AlberiaI'd put in Simon/a Belmont in place of Snake. Maybe have a special event battle for Belmont and Samus.
I'd put in Pac Man as well, and that'd be it for Third Party characters, unless someone makes a really compelling case. I don't really care much about Pac Man, but he's iconic, and I can't very well throw Talim or Zasalamel in. Though now that I've checked the Namco Bandai page, The Prince of All Cosmos and even Digimon are options.

Just so long as they don't make Pac-Man a soulless monster concerned only with devouring things.
"What's out there? What's waiting for me?"

Naturally, this is a pagetopper.
