SSB4 Rumor

Quote:"To put it succinctly, I'll need to have you guys wait a while longer. I hardly ever write anything on Twitter any longer, and that's because I think right now is the time to stop tweeting and start putting in a real effort here. If I could put it a really harsh way, I think it'd be better if I could be forgotten by gamers for a while.

I don't like it when a tweet or whatever leads to needless speculation getting spread around. For example, when I tweet about playing some game, some people immediately get the idea that that character is in the new Smash Bros. Then people fan the flames on it, people start to think it's really true, people get angry about it. Nobody benefits.

I got asked once by a student 'Is Fox really strong in Smash Bros. Brawl because you like Star Fox?' Absolutely not. I don't balance things based on that. These are very important titles that the creators and fans are leaving to me. In the worldwide online rankings, Fox's winning record is right in the middle of all the characters. The idea with him was a character that suicided often, but made up for it with other skills, but I guess that prominence gave him this image of being really powerful.

Instead of talking about what Smash Bros. will be like, I'm just going to say 'I'm making you wait for it!' and keep going along. I want to put my all into a full-on launch that really makes that wait worth it." - Masahiro Sakurai

Just something of interest to note here.

F-Zero GX has AiAi on Billy's belt, Chao in the recovery UFO and Groovy Taxi. Just sayin'.

About the whole Namco thing, Heihachi is unlikely because of his appearance in PSABR. I do think Pac-Man is a likely contender. Klonoa fits the scene, but I don't see that happening before Pac-Man.

Capcom can redeem themselves towards the Mega Man fans by letting Mega Man be part of this. However, the way they've treated Mega Man lately hurts his chances aswell.

What I'm hoping for is Black Shadow (F-Zero has, like, 45 characters, but only 1 rep in Smash Bros., what. Not to mention, we need more villians.) and Tails (Mario Bros. vs Sonic & Tails dream match, make it happen.) Speaking of Sonic, he needs more colors than just blue. How hard is it to give him a Shadow skin, maybe Metal Sonic? Mario has Wario gear and Luigi has Waluigi gear, so why not? And I don't need that magenta color filter excuse.

If it is a Namco character, I am leaning towards the three obvious characters that have either made cameos before and/or are big names themselves. I am obviously speaking about Pacman, Klonoa, and Lloyd Irving. But I honestly think it will only be one of them.

I made a few predictions a few months ago. Dunno where.

-I assume Zoroark will replace Lucario, keeping with the trend.
-If we get a new Mario character, it'll be Bowser Jr, since he seems to be everywhere these days. I think Paper Mario is a possibility as well, seeing as the new game just came out and we've already got a precedent set with Link/Toon Link. It wouldn't be both though.
-Speaking of Link, all the Zelda characters will be updated to match Skyward Sword's design.
-Little Mac seems likely, based on the new game and his Assist status before.
-I really think alt. costumes will be included this time. It's commonplace in every fighting game now, and again, Wario set a precedent and an expectation.
-A possible second Kid Icarus character, seeing as Sakurai worked on the latest game and is familiar with those characters. Palutena?

honestly, considering that most series' in the smash bros. games tend to have both protagonist and antagonist (link and ganondorf, mario and bowser, etc.), i could see hades, medusa, or someone like that more likely than palutena; if anything, palutena would likely be an assist or using her power for pit's final smash

although considering in brawl they added sonic, who knows who they'll add

Smash is always about putting the most important characters of a franchise in before all else. Palutena is a very important character so it's possible.

Anyway I doubt a new Mario character will be added, atleast from the main series. I think what we got for Mario is perfect anyway. Let some other franchises get more characters.

Oh I have a strange feeling that Sheik might be gone this time.

I think if there is going to be a new Mario rep, it's Toad.
He's in your NSMBWii, he's in your NSMBU, he's everywhere in Sticker Star. Plus Super Mario Bros. 2.
I know Toad is Peach's Neutral B, but Toad as a playable character is almost inevitable. I can imagine him being a clone of Mario and Luigi too (perhaps shooting ice-balls instead of fire?).
I do demand the Penguin Suit to be one of his alternative outfits, if he is in. No doubt Blue Toad and Yellow Toad will be (and Green Toad, considering team colors (hey, Wario's Woods P2!)).

People have been saying Toad since Melee. It ain't gonna happen. There's just nothing unique or special about Toad that makes him stand out. Peach has all the moves from Mario Bros 2, so that's out. Wario's Woods has nothing of note to contribute, the recent NSMB games has him playable, but he's no different from the Mario Bros. He could use suits, but so can they. Having him wear them in SSB means the suit is more of a focus than the character. Toad literally has nothing to contribute as a playable character.

I'm not saying I'm looking forward to it (au contraire). It's just that Toad got a heavier focus lately. He's both P3 and P4 in the New Super Mario Bros. Wii and U games, both which came out after Brawl.
What he can contribute as a character is representing New Super Mario Bros. Various abilities and Power-Ups that aren't covered by the Mario Bros. can be covered by this guy. Examples are Ice Flower, Propellor Suit Jump and Ground Pound. He could even have a mid-air spin attack that brakes his fall, like the Wii-Remote shakey thing. More doors are open for him since NSMBWii.
Again, I'm not a fan of this (I don't mind Toad in general, though). There's no denying the Penguin Suit is cute, and looking at Toads posture, it might work, hence the idea.

Or maybe if you are using Pit and are playing on the GamePad/3DS, she will show up on the other screen and commentate on the battle. I'd love that so much. Maybe have Hades and Viridi show up randomly as well.

Seriously though, I do hope we get another KI character. Magnus would be interesting, although he'd most likely work better as an AT. Hades... idk, he seems like he'd make a better boss in whatever story mode they go for than a playable character (but who knows). I'd say they go with Palutena. Also, if one of Pit's alt colors is Dark Pit, I'd love it if they put in new dialogue for that, like, it's actually Pitoo instead of Pit in darker clothes.

*Cracks knuckles* Alright, this is gonna be a long one. I apologize for sounding like a complete nerdy wad, but Smash Bros is one of my favorite series of all time, one that I hoped would happen years before it even existed, so... I'm a bit passionate.

Believe it or not, this is the LIGHT version of my thoughts on the Smash Bros series and its future.

Also, one final note: the player with the Game Pad should be able to play as Master Hand against other players in a special mode. It would be the most epic mode ever, one Master Hand and Crazy Hand controlling player against three others.

On your bit about the Zelda/Shiek thing, seeing as they redesigned Shiek to fit the Twilight Princess style even though she didn't appear in that game, I don't see it as too much of a stretch for them to redesign Shiek to match the Skyward Sword art style. But if they were to get rid of that part of Zelda's character, I would be more than happy to see it's place taken by a Toon Zelda that can transform into Tetra. Or maybe work in the suit of armor thing from Spirit Tracks?

I actually wouldn't MIND the redesign route, and it would give them a chance to be creative with it. In the case of Brawl, they already had the model ready for Twilight Princess before they decided not to have Shiek at all for it.
