Uh... has anybody had this happen?

If you're wondering it says I'm unable to join the game if I try.

It's funny, after getting more in to their home games, I'm kinda hoping Phosphora and Riki get the Little Mac Treatment some day.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see the Heropon smash-crash-pow in Smash, but chances are someone from Xenoblade Chronicles X would get that potential second slot first, and even if not, he'd be fighting against the likes of Melia and Seven for that playable spot.

I kinda doubt Riki's got it in him, but Phosphora might or might not, depending on if there ends up being a Kid Icarus 4 and what happens in it.

Medusa really should have first dibs on the next KI slot, though.tongue

I sure said that!

Phosphora might be neat but Riki might not add too much. Given how his Arts work, I can't really imagine him being all that interesting under the mechanics of Smash Bros. Now Melia, on the other hand, could be really cool and Difficult, but Awesome since there could be something like all of her directional specials being Summon Element while her neutral special is Elemental Burst that differs depending on what element was last summoned. Her Final Smash could even be something like Mind Blast which could briefly lock the last used special of anyone hit by it and remove all buffs.

Dunban could also be neat since he could be set up to where all of his directional specials rely on his neutral special to get the most effect and while Blossom Dance would make a badass Final Smash, I think Melia would add more.

Medusa or Viridi should be next in line, even though I would love Phosphora to be playable. Then again, Medusa should've been number 3, and we know how that ended.

Can't see Viridi getting in unless this theoretical Kid Icarus Uprising 2 makes her actually appear in battle or something. As it stands she's nothing more than Mission Control for her army.

Phosphora would be neat, though she lacks plot significance compared to Medusa. Sakurai seems quite fond of her, though, making her an assist trophy, not to mention her being the only commander in the Forces of Nature to appear again during the game. If they got a new character, I could see it definitely being her.

Of course, I don't think Kid Icarus will be getting any new characters unless we get another game in its series.

As far as characters getting Little Mac'd, I'm more in favor of Waluigi and Takamaru, though the former would need to appear in a game that doesn't involve sports, parties, or karts first, and the latter would likely need a reboot(which would make him even more like Mac).

Takamaru would be pretty great.

He and Captain Rainbow can share a trailer with Lip.tongue

This is going on the assumption that Sakurai makes the next Smash, but it's clear he likes Viridi a lot. She appears in the background of the 3DS version and got a ton of dialogue on the Wii U. Pit but edgy may have been easier, but Viridi has a lot of importance, personality, and overall presence in the only game that matters. If he wants another KI character next game, he'll probably go for the one that he likes the most. It helps that she's definitely more popular than Medusa, though it's hard to say between Viridi and Hades. And her moveset can easily takes cues from the stuff the Forces of Nature did.

Medusa's biggest chance comes from her being the original villain and Palutena's rival. She has more history with the series, which Sakurai does respect. But this is moot anyway since we probably won't get another KI character unless another KI game comes out, which is far from guaranteed.

For Xenoblade, right now I've got my money of Elma from X being next in line. She seems particularly important, and since the MC seems to be a customizable blank slate it'll be easier for side characters to get in. But obviously we'll need to see the details when it comes out.

I feel as if Riki could be a very interesting character.

Would he be very hard to get and probably low tier? Maybe.

Lest we forget, aside from the very recent developments regarding Mario's stuff, Nintendo tends to stagger their sequels, releasing only one or two entries in a series per console generation. Uprising did pretty well considering it was essentially a new IP- It'd be surprising if an Uprising sequel wasn't made.

I sure said that!

Kid Icarus isn't Mario/Zelda, or even Fire Emblem level. Even with its success they're not going to make another one just because. They'll make another one if they have gameplay mechanics and ideas that fits well with the series. Or if Sakurai feels up for another one. Which I initially thought he wasn't, but parts of Palutena's Guidance does make me wonder.

As for AT's I want upgraded, I'd like Ashley (little chance), Dark Samus (little chance), Ghirahim, Midna (no chance for either, though Tingle has a shot), Phosphora (no chance), Saki (little chance), Goroh (slight chance), Takamaru (most likely I think), or Waluigi (little chance since Toad will be coming first). Issac and Ray are also cool, though I don't know if if losing their position helps or hurts them.

I know this is the worst idea ever, but a part of me really wants to see the next Little Mac be PONG. NOBODY would see it coming, even moreso than Wii Fit Trainer. Its (their?) stage would be pong of course, and there would be nothing but silence for music. It's trailer would have everyone bowing down in respect to it except maybe G&W, who would see it as a father figure. I can see it now...

What are you talking about? Pong isn't even in Smash 4 as an Assist!

I guess there's, like, Color TV Game 15, but that's completely and totally different from Pong in every way.

Speaking of really retro Nintendo stuff, I really wish the Ultra Machine or Ultra Hand were in as items. They'd be amusing, if nothing else.

Bowser Jr's grab has something similar to the Ultra Hand, at least.

I'm sure plenty have already said this same thing, but I'm most likely going to do an online tvtropes tourney soon after it's a usable option in the Wii U version, for anyone interested.
