Shovel Knight is listed with both Smash games, while Chibi-Robo only has Smash U listed in his section. For extra hilarity, Toad is listed is listed as being part of the Super Smash Bros. series when he should be part of the Super Mario series. The real conclusion to draw from this is that Nintendo should fire whatever intern manages that part of the site.

Indeed.

And again, Shovel Knight's only an amiibo because Yacht Club licensed the NFC chipset from Nintendo. Big N isn't even manufacturing him.

I sure said that!

According to Yacht Club the SK listing was made in error. Which would put an end to that, except that if he were in they obviously wouldn't say so. So draw your own conclusion.

Of which mine is, he doesn't have a shot, though he is more possible than I thought in the past.

I think Shantae might be the most likely third party character to get in as DLC, with Shovel Knight and Bayonetta just behind her.

Anyone else might be harder to think of. Tails and Knuckles would be more likely than most other third party reps at this point (I'm not holding my breath for Snake, Bomberman, or Simon Belmont because of the recent stuff with Konami. And I don't think characters like Travis Touchdown, Sora, or Scorpion are too likely).

If this game had to remove a Tharja trophy to keep things family-friendly, I don't see Bayonetta making the cut.

Of third parties not in Smash, Square and Level 5 are the most likely to get a rep. Square due to their long history and legendary games. But most of the big Final Fantasy characters are too associated with Playstation, which leaves a Dragon Quest character, and I don't know enough about that series. I don't expect a Square character.

I do expect a Level 5 character either as Smash 4's DLC or in Smash 5. Layton and Jibanyan are both very qualified, but also have various things going against them. Layton is a step even below Mega Man and isn't very active. Jibanyan is huge in the most important region, but as of now is untested in the west, though the Yokai Watch anime seems to be having a decent start.

Honestly, Snake I see coming back before Tails and Knuckles ever would be confirmed(outside of being Mii costumes, and that feels iffy at this point).

Shovel Knight seems quite possible, but I'm taking these errors with a grain of salt. No idea what's going on, really.

Shadow?

[up][up][up]Bayonetta would have to be toned down like Snake was for Brawl.

(Also, there isn't really anything that bad about Tharja that needed to be cut)

Too bad Dr. Eggman would likely be a semi-clone of Bowser Jr.

[up]I mean...people thought of Rosalina as a Peach clone before she was released. It really depends on how much effort is put in.

I'd really rather guest series not get multiple playable characters, to be honest. They're supposed to be, y'know, guests.

[up] Same.

Plus, Mii costumes are a pretty fair way to spread the love. Knuckles would be fine as a Brawler, and Tails would make a great Gunner. As for a Swordfighter, Knight Sonic or Amy could work.

Shadow?

Amy used a crossbow in the British comics. That is all the justification I would need for a Gunner Amy.

She also boxes gloves in Sonic Battle which makes her equally liable to become a brawler.

I agree (and feel the same about characters appearing as alternate costumes, Assist Trophies, and within certain Final Smashes), but popular opinion (SMASHER OR BUST) seems to suggest otherwise. :/

I mean, I've warmed up to multiple third-party owned characters, if only because Ryu kinda forced me into it, but I'm gonna stand firm- Think of another Sega character instead of someone from Sonic.

... Maybe go crazy and have it be an Atlus character!

Namco's got a lot of choices, too.

My other Sega ideas are either Tails, Knuckles, Akira, Nights, Bayonetta, or Alex Kidd.

4. Amy Rose

5. Alis Landale

6. Alex Kidd

7. Ristar

8. The Altered Beast

9. Kid Chameleon

10. Sketch Turner

11. Max (Shining Force)

12. Axel Stone

13. Blaze Fielding

14. Chuck D. Head

15. Vectorman

16. Nights

17. Billy Hatcher

18. Joe Musashi

19. Tyris Flare

21. Beat (Jet Set Radio)

22. Hatsune Miku

23. Mario

Just a few possibilities. And Mario.

I'd thought about something similar years back as well. Basically, take at least one characdter from every game in Sega Smash Pack 2. But, nowadays, we'd need to reconsider what series would be present. Phantasy Star and Shining Force should have several characters (ZYLO, motherfuckers!), despite not being huge series, just because I want Shining Force in, and PS seems like a classic series. Hell, Panzer Dragoon, as long as I'm thinking of series that start with P.

So, what series could be represented?

If it weren't for her Sega status, Bayonetta would be pretty good.

Wonder Red wuld be the next best thing, but he's too big.
