If they tried to remove Mega Man, then it'd be a legal nightmare. Capcom must finish SSB 4 due to a legal contract. It's fine.

Shiek'd.

That said, please do a bit more research Baffle Blend, before letting a bombshell like this drop. We don't want to cause a panic here.

And as mentioned in that thread, there wouldn't be any legal trouble regarding Smash if someone bought Capcom and then tried to force Mega out. The most that would happen would be that Mega wouldn't be in any future Smash titles.

Honestly, it would probably be worst for Capcom if they tried that.

I would fully expect angry protesters picketing their main offices in that situation.

[up][up][up]I'd like to cite the case of Disney vs. Marvel vs. Capcom 2/3. You know, the one that immediately ceased all distribution of both games plus auxiliary content even that which they didn't own, and silenced any official traces of their existence.

Don't compare a half of an entire game to a single Guest Fighter.

Or Marvel superheroes to Megaman. The superheroes, kind of important to Marvel. Megaman... Capcom's probably grateful somebody wants to do something with him.

What i'd love to see is a Smash Bros. game that keeps the roster the same from the regular games, but de-made into 64 graphics (or, in their cases, PS1 for Snake and Pac-Man and Saturn for Sonic <which would possibly revert him into Classic Sonic, but I digress.>) The funny thing is how little you'd have to change about the newer characters considering quite a few of even the Brawl characters were in 64 games. Heck, Villager is only just now getting into Smash, and he started out on the 64 thanks to Animal Crossing debuting on it in Japan.

[up][up]Except functionally, there is no Capcom anymore, so it doesn't matter a damn what they think. But Nintendo's rivals will see a big fat Achilles' Heel in him.

So this is more or less everyone's opinion on Chrom possibly being in Smash 4 yes?

There's still a Capcom. That'll only change if somebody decides to buy up over half of their stock.

Nah.

Chrom still beats out all those others in terms of likelihood.

Much as I'd like to see, say, an archer in Smash, just to see them pull it off.

They've made money on Monster Hunter and that's about it.

Whoa. Vulnerable does not mean 'already wiped off the earth.' Capcom still exists for the time being and Mega Man in For isnt going anywhere.

I'd prefer Robin, but I'm totally on-board for Chrom if that doesn't happen. And not just because he's on my bingo card.

Yeah, I'd prefer Robin because magic. Or Tiki because dragon.

But Chrom wouldn't be horrible if no other alternatives are chosen (backhanded compliment of the hour).

Can someone explain the appeal of the dawn of 3D gaming's graphics to me?

The 8-bit era's stuff was blocky and stuff, too, but there it seemed... I dunno, charmingly minimalist instead of incomplete, while N64/PSX/Saturn games just look weird and sharply angled and unfinished.

I sure said that!

It was a whole new dimension.

That you could move in!

I remember Super Mario 64. It looked so now.

Super Smash Bros 64 may have move on just a 2D plane, but there were 12 classic characters who could now exist in 3D space and fight each other.

Problem being that she's been in one relatively unimportant game in the series and Japanese fans dislike her due to her story being a Forced Tutorial for a series they'd been playing for over a decade.

[up][up]Well, yeah, that goes without saying. I meant more "why would anyone want to GO BACK to that?"
