Lol nice try but no where does it say Sakurai specifically said "I won't add Namco characters" as you stated earlier. It's just Harada-something (who crested the Tekken series if im not mustaken) saying Tekken or SC characters may not be added.
The fact that he fought a blood thirsty Wolverine-esque bear that towers above him moreso than any Tales monster compared to Lloyd in size and can actually fight the one thing Lloyd can't fight: ghosts. Also, he would like to have a word with you.What exactly is badass about Pac-Man? I see Lloyd as a lot more badass than that yellow circle with a creepy smile. He scares me!
Seriously though guys, less than TWO DAYS! We're almost there.
Leomon?Lol, no one seemed to question the one Namco-Bandai character I said I'd kill for.
and what would that be?Lol, no one seemed to question the one Namco-Bandai character I said I'd kill for.
KingLol, no one seemed to question the one Namco-Bandai character I said I'd kill for.
Strange because he said that the character is lion related and King is more associated with leopards. Unless he made an uber mistake.King
Leomons cool and all. but he would probobly be killed really easily lolWow, first guess gets it.
?????? da effffWow, first guess gets it.
My preferred new series rep for the game and I like robots as well, so that appeals me to Ray as well. Unfortunately, he has no shot of getting in.Man, it's been forever since I last posted, doubt anybody remembers me, haha. So, I never really see any discussion of Ray MKIII, or Ray01 on here. Anybody feel like Custom Robo deserves a character? I don't know if any of y'all have played a Custom Robo game before, but it's easily one of my favorite Nintendo franchises. I mean, it has had like 5 or so games. What are your opinions?
That's what Smash is all about, right?Leomons cool and all. but he would probobly be killed really easily
'Tis quite the shame....Especially considering how it could kick start series again... Man, if I saw on the Sm4sh Bros. Dojo, that Ray was added, all the windows in a 7 square mile area of my computer would be shattered from the high decibels of my little girl shreekMy preferred new series rep for the game and I like robots as well, so that appeals me to Ray as well.

love it. love everything about itThat's what Smash is all about, right?
Event Match #Whatever: Sacrificial Lion
Player: Leomon at 300%
Opponent: 3 evil opponents that are invulnerable.
Goal: Survive at least 10 seconds.
Lol, nice try, but I didn't say "Sakurai won't add Namco characters" I said "He's not not gonna add Namco characters just because they're helping with the game. But, I guess the point was the character decisions are up to him. Meaning he's gonna add third-party character that HE would decide. Not that Namco would decide. I think the only reason he WOULD add Pac-Man is because Namco is helping. And that's not actually a big reason to add him anymore. The point being the fact that Namco is working on the game has nothing to do with WHO is gonna be in the roster.Lol nice try but no where does it say Sakurai specifically said "I won't add Namco characters" as you stated earlier.

I'd be cool with Pac Man. Prefer Nightmare or Lloyd but I think Pac Man would be surprising.
Some bold roster predictions--
Removed Characters:
-Pokemon Trainer
-Snake
-Lucario
-Ike
Added Characters:
-Paper Mario
-King K. Rool
-Ridley
-Palutena
-Dark Pit
-Mewtwo (in new form, represents the 6th Gen)
-Isaac
-Chrom
-Little Mac
-KK Slider
-Sheriff (WTF character)
-Nightmare (from Soul Calibur)
The total roster size is now 49 characters with 13 newcomers (less than Brawl).
I suppose a few of these deserve explanations. Most of these are popular entries in each series and are highly requested. However, much like Brawl, I ensured that there were some glaring omissions. I'm actually preparing for the roster to look a lot like this--it's got a lot of the highly requested characters and the surprises the series is known for while still excluding some popular requests. A few explanations:
-I'm kind of convinced that Sheriff is both the retro AND WTF character; the character that has held that slot for the past few entries has always harbored significance to the Nintendo series (Game and Watch then ROB.) Sheriff was technically Nintendo's FIRST protagonist in an arcade game. I have a hunch he'll be showing up this time around and turn a LOT of heads.
-I chose Nightmare because although Pac-Man is the obvious choice, I'm guessing the team thinks it'd be tough to fit in the context of a fighting game. Mega Man I'm assuming Capcom would decline given their recent behavior towards the series, and Sonic is more than likely to return. Given the complications involved with dealing with other 3rd parties, it would be best to only include one more and it be from a Namco game. Namco's got both Tekken and Soul Calibur under their belt, and given Heihachi Mishima's role in Playstation All-Stars, I'd assume that Tekken is largely ignored for the next Smash Bros. I'm left with Nightmare to rep Namco, and damn wouldn't that rule--this installment's Snake.
-Dark Pit is this game's Pokemon Trainer or Dr. Mario--the WTF character that appears from an already represented installment.
-Chrom replaces Ike as the Fire Emblem "flavor of the week"
-KK Slider--occurs just as often as Tom Nook and I would see him as the unofficial mascot of the series. Uses a move set one would expect the Animal Crosser or Tom Nook to have.
WHOA WHOA WHOA. Why would we get rid of Poke'mon Trainer? You just removed 3 Poke'mon reps. He's like one of THE best ideas for a character in SSB.Some bold roster predictions--

Agreed. But popular characters have been removed before (see: Mewtwo, Roy.)WHOA WHOA WHOA. Why would we get rid of Poke'mon Trainer? You just removed 3 Poke'mon reps. He's like one of THE best ideas for a character in SSB..

I still have yet to hear from Sakurai's concerning that statement. In addition, there's nothing in that article that suggests Sakurai won't add Namco characters just because Namco is working on the new SSB. The only thing it confirms is that people are split about Tekken/Soul caliber characters, Namco is not sure about adding Tekken characters, and that Sakurai as full control of game design. There isn't even a Sakurai quote in your article. It's just Harada's observations and opinions of Namco's involvement. In fact, it never even matches other Namco characters. Just Tekken and Soul Caliber.Lol, nice try, but I didn't say "Sakurai won't add Namco characters" I said "He's not not gonna add Namco characters just because they're helping with the game. But, I guess the point was the character decisions are up to him. Meaning he's gonna add third-party character that HE would decide. Not that Namco would decide.

The point being the fact that Namco is working on the game has nothing to do with WHO is gonna be in the roster.
The only flaw I see in this roster is that I just don't think we will get that many characters. But if we were to get that many this would be about perfect and each entry makes alot of sense (aside from paper Mario who I resent seeing there).
N with Zoroark, Carracosta, and Archeops should replace Pokemon Trainer. Represents an important villain in B/W + B2/W2 and stops all those in the Zoroark camp from *****ing that he doesn't get in place over Mewtwo.Cutting Pokemon Trainer is dumb. You're cutting the main character of the Pokemon games.
I think what he is saying that lots of people want all three of the bipedal mascots of the last three generations. So his solution is to cut the pokemon trainer. I wouldn't really care about this decision if it weren't that pokemon trainer has a unique aspect to him. I really don't think any characters that unique will get cut kind of like ice climbers. The way I see it, out of the three mascots we will get one or MAYBE two of them, and the one will be newtwo. So it's really a decision of whether sakurai wants to stick with 4 slots and focus on other series or whether he prefers bringing lucario back, or creating a new moveset for zoroark. I would actually be happy to see zoroark because its illusion abilities give it the potential to have a very interesting moveset, but I really don't see zoroark happening.'Tradition'?
There is no tradition.
Yes! Exactly what I was going for.Noler_Mass said:I think what he is saying that lots of people want all three of the bipedal mascots of the last three generations.
Depends on what "trends".Yes! Exactly what I was going for.
Don't tell me that each Smash game doesn't follow trends through.
that sounds awful... just really bad. and ur overestimating how many people actually care about Zoroark being in the game. those 3 pokemon are terrible replacements for Charizard, Ivysaur and Squirtle.N with Zoroark, Carracosta, and Archeops should replace Pokemon Trainer. Represents an important villain in B/W + B2/W2 and stops all those in the Zoroark camp from *****ing that he doesn't get in place over Mewtwo.
