I know if Bayonetta doesn't get in this one doesn't stand a snowball's chance in the desert of happening...but for some reason I'm trying to imagine Jack Cayman from Mad World as a Smash contestant. Might try to make a moveset later just for kicks.

Really there should just be a fighting game of Platinum Games vs Grasshopper Manufacture.

They did put Earthbound on the Wii U Virtual Console. It was recent enough that I wouldn't call it "forgetting" about Mother.

There was the "obnoxious fan" guy from the Robot Chicken segments from the E3 Nintendo Direct who was shouting about Mother 3, although I'm fairly certain that that was a jab at the equally obnoxious fan requests they may have dealt with and wasn't meant to have any significance.note 

As for Nabbit, aside from obviously grabbing folks and stuffing them in his bag, I expect that he tries to carry them off the stage and/or is slowed down by his "loot" while he makes his getaway, so the other players can take the opportunity to beat up the fighter while he/she's trapped in the bag.

I just assumed that the bit about Luigi was a joke and that Nabbit was invincible, while carrying off items and damaging anyone he runs into. Still, no reason right now to be sure he doesn't put fighters in his bag.

I see no reason to assume he didn't mean it when he said Nabbit stole Luigi.

If I could add to the third party requests, I'd like to see Skullgirls' protagonist Filia in a Smash Bros game.

She has a unique move set and would fit perfectly with the roster.

You'd first need to get the game released on Nintendo's shores. And don't quote me on this, but I think Word of God said that fighting game characters are a no-go.

[up] Yeah, I know. But what's funny is I hate everything Anime and yet Skullgirls is one of my favorite games, even though it isn't really 'Anime'.

Little Mac is technically a fighting game character.

That's a really odd thing to put a ban on, though - non video game characters I could see, but fighting game characters in particular? Especially when a lot of the characters that have been in fighting games have moves that draw from those? Doesn't sound very sensible.

Little Mac's games are exceedingly difficult to place as a genre. The closest thing to an answer is something like them being puzzle games that wear the shell of a fighter.

I sure said that!

Mega Man technically counts as well, but I assume Sakurai would be referring to characters that originated in a fighting game rather than later being used in one...

IIRC, it was more of a "limit" than a ban; something about Sakurai wanting to prevent his characters from playing too similarly to other fighting game veterans.

Not that it stops the clones, but oh well.

wild mass guessThat might be why Mario's Tornado special was moved to his d-air. It made it slightly less obvious that he was a copy of Ryu from Street Fighter.

Clearly Jotaro should be added since his first game(RPG) was on a Nintendo console.

I know it would never happen but I think Shantae would be an interesting fighter. I'm not sure how you'd do the transformations though. Maybe they could be her specials?

Sakurai didn't say "no fighting game characters", though. That's a misquote. He said "no fighting game characters already similar to ones in Smash.", which is a major difference.

Especially if he considers Punch Out a fighting game. Regardless, they aren't banned and never were, unless the character was too similar to another playable one.

Shantae would be wonderful, but unfortunately even less likely than Quote.

Not really? Most of Shantae's games originated on Nintendo systems so she probably has a higher chance of getting in than Quote.
