>six industry icons
Hm. That's not enough for 8-player Smash.
Give me TWO more. And they have to be as influential as these guys.
>>316500812
Minecraft guy and Freddy
Simon Belmont is all I got.
Akira Yuki and the car from Daytona USA
>>316500995
gtfo faggot.
Happy Wheels guy first.
>>316500812
John Cena
Lara Croft and Scorpion/SubZero
EA Sports guy is clearly next along with Master Chef
>>316500812
Snake and Simon Belmont.
>>316501012
Simon Belmont and Bomberman.
>>316500812
Snake was already in the game
the last one should be a SNK character, i'd say either Marco or Terry Bogard
>>316500812
Fox McCloud and Falco Lombardi are gaming's first gay couple, and they're in it already.
Bomberman andRayman.No, really. I think he'd be fun.
Bomberman and Snake.
>>316500812
Isn't that only five? Megaman and Ryu are both Capcom.
Masterchief but that's never going to happen. I can't think of any other influential characters.
>>316501342
>Fox and Falco
>Not Fox and Wolf
Come on.
>>316501290
>And they have to be as influential as these guys.
SNK is based, but not nearly normie enough to make it into smash.
Snake
Simon Belmont
Jack Frost
Solid Snake
Gordon Freeman
Done
>>316500812
DOOMGUY
WE GOTTA HAVE FUCKING DOOMGUY
>>316500812
Donkey Kong.
>>316501370
We're counting them as individuals, not the company they come from. Though it would be nice if future third parties came from unrepped companies.
Shantae and Bandanna Dee.
Link, Samus, Pikachu and Donkey Kong are just as iconic as any of those.
>>316501416
Freeman hasn't ever been in a Nintendo game.
>>316500812
Bomberman, Snake and Simon Belmont are the only ones I still want.
It's a shame all of them are owned by fucking Konami of all people.
I can see Banjo making the cut too if they make some kind of deal with Microsoft, though I personally don't care much about him.
I think we all know who's next
>>316501149
upvoted xD
Master Chief and Banjo Kazooie
>>316501475
Then Nintendo obviously has a lot more than Mario in their mascot fighting game crossover.
>>316500812
Bomberman and Banjo
Solid Snake and Bomberman.

Viktor Reznovdon't act like you wouldn't main
>>316501412
it's true that they aren't really normie friends but let's be honest
if a place has an arcade machine, it's metal slug, it's ALWAYS metal slug, if i wanted a single character to represent arcade videogames, it would be a metal slug character
>>316501716
Literally all meme characters
>>316500812
Snake and Heihachi? Snake would sell well but I can't think of many more characters who are on par with popularity as Cloud and Ryu.
Maybe Bomberman. I don't think Simon Belmont holds the same kind of power even though he deserves it.
Survival horror rep would be cool but I'm not sure who they would pick. Leon Kennedy I guess.
>>316500812
Snake as the face of stealth.
Dppm Guy or Master chief as either father of fps, or face of fps.
>>316501606
What about Street Fighter 2?

>>316501592
In which case I shamelessly backpedal. :)
>>316501768
We can only hope so. Let's just open the floodgates and make a fucking mugen smash game.
Snake, Crash, Spyro, Banjo/Kazooie, or Rayman.
>>316500812
SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKEOptimus Prime and Sora could work too
>>316500812
Snake
>>316501838
I don't think you know what that word means.
>>316501857
Arcade game with shitty port
It's crazy Bomberman is not there yet.
>>316501637
Uhh, yeah. Metroid kind of invented its own genre.
Samus is definitely iconic.
Snake should have the best shot, being a veteran. Of course, having to go through Konami pretty much ensures it won't happen.
>>316501875

You have 10 seconds to explain why he shouldn't be in.
Give me one good reason why Ubisoft can't have a rep.
>>316500812
Snake and Goku.
Calling now.
There aren't any western characters in smash. They all originated from Japanese companies iirc. I don't see MC or Banjo getting in because they are western

>>316501174
>>316501379
>>316501589
>>316501609
All this chief makes me think of the stage he would have. It would be over the top as fuck, and would fun as hell. Fuck tourneys, I want more crazy
>>316501970
He would be in with Simon and Snake if Konami still liked video games
>>316502032
Nintendo isn't a fan of guns. Remember Snake?
All they need to do is add Shovel Knight and then it would perfect

This is a dumb as fuck restriction considering the home ports sold best on the SNES and had numerous versions. Not to mention the GBA games.
Just shut the fuck up you dumb faggot.
I really want him as the new Konami rep but I don't think he has a fucking chance in hell over Simon Belmont and especially not Snake because that nigga's already got assets.

Veteran's day was two days ago, and they didn't reveal him when they had a perfect opportunity. So no.
>>316502158
Cloud is pretty much the face of Final Fantasy. And FF is still considered a massive franchise in the industry. Honestly, I would have preferred Gilgamesh, since he is recurring, and was actually in a Nintendo console FF. But Cloud is the most logical choice for the face of the franchise.

>>316501290
Considering how Terry is SNK's only decently popular character other than maybe Kyo and Iori, he'd be the only likely character SNK would approach Nintendo to put in Smashor Athena for Mobile Athena Shmup #12

Let's be real
Japanese game
Gook developer.
These are most likely to get in next.
Snake
Dragon Quest Slimes
Sora from Kingdom Hearts
Felines from Monster Hunter
Dante from DMC
Leon Kennedy
Miku vocaliod
Amatarasu from Okami
>>316502446
This would be the best. Have the Smash direct in December talking about the polls. A bunch of shit characters like Krystal or whatever get mentioned. Then Snake pops up at the end for an actual reveal. It's cliche but everyone would still go fucking nuts.
>>316502420
Kyo wouldn't work in smash at all so it would probably be Terry.
>>316500812
It's obvious Rayman will get in, even if he's not the winner of the ballot, he already has trophies in the games.
>>316502517
>Dante from DMC
Only generic swordsmen are allowed after Melee.
>Nintendo Direct on the near future

That was easy.

>>316500812
This image bugsbme because it treats Megaman and Ryu like they're from different companies when Nintendo only has Mario. Does that imply Link or Pikachu weren't influential in video game history at all? At least Pikachu, jesus christ.
>>316501264
Pretty much this.
Those 8 are what I would consider the "game classic characters".
Maybe Snake.
Athena Asamiya
Simon Belmont
Minecraft guy
>Simon, Soma, or Alucard, just SOME Castlevania rep
>Dracula's Castle stage
Thinking about it, Soma would be fucking awesome with all the moveset potential he has, and both of his games were Nintendo exclusives.

We're obviously gonana get at least one of the bigger expectations (k rool, bandanna dee, krystal, etc)
But snake is the perfect topping.
>>316502749
Pikachu is not in because what quickstarted monster collectathlons was Dragon Quest, I think.
Link should be in though since he quickstarted Dungeon crawlers at the very least. Not as influential as the others, but up there.
>>316502042
Because Ubi has fucked Nintendo pretty hard multiple times just this gen. Don't particularly give a shit about ZombiU, but the Rayman delays were some horseshit.
>>316502876
Rayman
Simon and Master Chief
I'd rather have Doomguy, but Smash has that "no realistic guns" thing and Doomguy without the super shotty would be unacceptable. Chief could get by with Covenant weapons.
>>316501351
you have it perfect fellow bomberbro
>>316502593
It should be really treated as "third parties pictured with nintendo's absolute biggest".
It just so happens most of which are from different companies and are industry icons.
>>316501090
>>316500995
You guys are spelling Angry Birds wrong
>>316502749
You're an idiot. It's not a representation of specific corporations. It's the characters themselves.
bring back snake and actually make rayman playable
Alright, real talk.
No matter how unlikely it seems, let's imagine Nintendo and M$ are in talks for Master Chief. Is there any reason this wouldn't happen? Seems like it would be mutually beneficial.
>>316500812
Link
Donkey Kong
Pikachu
Jin kazama and Rugal Bernstein, to commemorate the smash community hamfisting itself back into EVO.
>>316500812
Simon Belmont and Master Chief.
I don't like it, but it's undeniable that Halo redefined the FPS.
>>316503381
Guns but i dont know i dont play halo. To be honest i'd be fucking livid if he got in
i just wantBomberman and Wonder red
>>316503381
The whole gun thing, MC has never been on a Nintendo console even as a cameo.
Sans, Freddy Fazbear, Reimu Hakurei and Fallout Boy are the 4 most iconic characters in gaming right now. Pick 2.
>>316502703
>>316501290

Walter (see metal slug advance)
Tyra (see metal slug advance)

>Not Ralph and Clark
>>316503516
I'd rather pick Cancer and AIDS at the same time than any of those.
Snake and Steve from Minecraft.
>>316503516
Those are all awful choices. But logically speaking, Reimu and Vault Boy would get the nod for being in long running, well known series.
>>316503170

Might as well use the Arbiter instead in that case.

i want this so bad
please anons, stop playing with my heart
Ayane, Ryu Hyabusa, or someone from Fatal Frame as the Tecmo rep
Snake
>>316501290
If Terry got in, the best tagteam would be Terry and Pikachu. Terry's always looked like a ripped Red to me.
>>316500812
You could consider Donkey Kong and Link to be industry icons.
>Best Mobile/Handheld Game
How can anyone put a full game like Monster Hunter 4 ultimate against shitty cash grab games?
Snake and master chief LOL
I still think Jack Frost would be cool. Get an Atlus rep in, he's a mascot character, long running series, been on numerous Nintendo consoles, has a bunch of spinoffs, and fairly well known.
>>316503909
Wrong thread, anon.
>>316500812
Because the game is E10 and because Kojima no longer works at Konami, I think it's safe to say that Snake will most likely never return, and if he does, he'll be Venom Snake sporting his Phantom Pain design. I'd pick Simon Belmont for sure, and maybe Banjo & Kazooie if Microsoft and Rare can reach an agreement with Nintendo.Or we could just get Steve from Minecraft and let all the kids lap up the Steve amiibos. Plus if Minecraft for Wii U is actually a thing, a Steve amiibo could work in that game. I wouldn't be thrilled about his inclusion, but I'd rather have him than Shantae or Krystal or some shit like that.
>>316503801
>>316503875
Industry icon as in for companies. Megaman and Ryu may both be from Capcom, but Ryu is more like the representative of the fighting game genre.
>All these idiots naming Samus, Link, Pikachu or Donkey Kong
>When the image is clearly referring to 3rd parties
This is why we have hand holding tutorials you idiots.
>>316503515
To be fair, you could argue Halo has a lot more than just regular guns.
Sakurai was able to make Snake work without one single firearm that wasn't an explosive. I could see Chief using alot of the Covenant weapons like the Energy Pistol or Energy Sword.
>>316502820
>>316503063
But Snake is fine?
>>316503959
Absolutely never happening ever.
>>316504123
>Mario
>third party
>>316503959
If Jack got in, what would the Megaten stage be?
>>316504035
Couldn't you argue that Legend of Zelda influenced many adventure, action or RPG games years to come? OOT alone was considered a landmark in 3D game design alongside Mario 64.
>>316504304
do you see snake in sm4sh?
>>316504196
>Master Chief in Smash
>Sakurai some how turns him into another swordsman
I can see the butthurt now.
Has more of a chance than Shantae.
>>316503989
>IT'LL JUST BE VENOM SNAKE!
Pac-Man isn't Ghostly Ghouls
Mega Man isn't X-Over
Please, never consider breeding
>>316504449
Wow, you seem really opposed to that idea.
>>316504438
My left ballsack has more chance than Shantae.
>>316503989
Snake is still a good pick from a workload and popularity perspective even if Kojima is kill. I'd be surprised if Nintendo didn't at least approach Konami about it. Also isn't DLC rated separately if it needs to be rerated.
>>316504595
>left ballsack
you have two ballsacks?
>>316504418
>Final Smash is just the Landmaster reskinned as a Scorpion
>>316502409

It is a little dated, but fuck me if during the Arcade era metal slug wasnt as big as mario for home consoles
>>316504196
His Plasma Pistol can be a shield breaker.
And Kirby would wear his fucking helmet
>>316503959
He's perfect for a special winter update and the next smash update-thing is in December
it's happening
>>316500812
Banjo-Kazooie
Simon Belmont
Scorpion or SubZero
Slime
Bring Snake back
Bomberman
A true icon. I wonder why there's nothing from the series in Sm4sh already.
Bomberman and Rayman, to complete the quadrinity of "____man" characters
>>316502916
It's not even figuratively accurate though.
It's the same as saying they're all toasted sandwich characters. It's completely nonsense.
>>316505450
There are the songs that returned from Brawl
>>316501821
>metal slug with a sun screen
>>316505492
>bomberman
Why will this never happen? ;_;
>>316500812
So basically, Cloud is a popular character who came from an iconic, long-running series that's been on Nintendo systems. You know who else fits those requirements? Scorpion! Mortal Kombat is very iconic and has been on Nintendo systems. All Sakurai would need to do is tone down the violence like with Snake and Scorpion would be a no-brainer!
>>316505526
I forgot. Still, in all seriousness, a stage would be fun.
>>316500812
I'm not a huge fan of either series but Simon Belmont and Snake/Big Boss for sure.
I would love to see Billy and Jimmy from Double dragon but they fell off the map ages ago.
>>316505450
I would acually be hype about this
>>316505573
because Hudson is dead you stupid fuck.
>>316500812
Why people makng these act like only Mario is iconic.
Link, Pikachu, Donkey Kong and Samus are as iconic as those other guys.
>>316500812
Banjo & Kazooie with Konker
Snake
Rayman
>>316505573
Because Konami
>>316505809
Mario? Yeah
Pikachu? Yeah
Donkey Kong? Maybe
>Link? No
>Samus? No
>>316500812
Banjo and Snake.
>>316505661
it sucks because i think Saks gunning for "popular on a worldwide scale", with japan basically being the impassable hurdle for a shit ton of western franchises like MK and Rayman since they have 0 brand awareness there
id love scorpion
>>316501359
Probably this.
LET'S BE FUCKING REAL
>Snake
>Simon Belmont
That's fucking it.
I hope you guys are ready for a Monster Hunter rep
>>316505809
You dumb fuck. It's Mario, the face of Nintendo, and third party icons.
You have Link and Pikachu. 8.
We can expect these characters one day since the games sell like hotcakes in japan.
Bomberman/Earthworm Jim and Munch.
>>316504873
No he wouldn't
Crash and Spyro.
Spyro actually seems pretty likely because of the Skylanders/Nintendo thing.
>>316506181
If only!
That would be 3 Capcom characters, but I wouldn't care.
>people pretending Bomberman is a gaming icon
>people pretending Bomberman is popular or widely recognizable
>>316500812
So why was Capcom the only third party company to get two reps again? Why are they special?
Do people know who bomberman even is?
>>316505573
I don't think Bomberman is anywhere near as significant as any of the third party characters currently in Smash. He has a lot of games, sure, but he's just the mascot of a minor (and now defunct) game company.
Hamtaro and Master Chief is the only answer.
>>316506431
because they kinda helped nintendo make smash 4, you dingus.
>>316506378
this desu senpai
>>316500812
Tetris blocks (shape and angle shifting)
_-"*"-_
EWJ, you ungroovy underage b& that doesn't even know
>>316506431
Capcom just happened to have both highly iconic and popular series that made sense for Smash.
I wouldn't expect another Namco or Sega character because they don't really have other series on the same level as Pac-Man or Sonic the Hedgehog. There's Tekken I guess but does anyone really care about its characters that much.
>December Smash event
>SMASH BROS
>x
>KONAMI>It's an ad for a Smash-themed pachinko machine and has nothing to do with the actual game.
>>316506029
>Link no
>Samus no
Literally Link is top 5, and Metroid sales may fool you but the fact that Samus is a >woman and is almost 30 years old help her case a lot.
Those Four are most iconic than Cloud for sure, and by a wide margin, i dont know how seriously can someone see Cloud and think he is super iconic.
>>316506378
He's neither but could still be a great character.
The three GTA 5 protagonists in one slot. You can change who you're playing as by using Down+B, like Pokemon Trainer in Brawl
>>316500812
Megaman isn't influential.
>>316506217
yeah but I'd say pikachu should be up there. More people could point out pikachu before megaman, ryu and cloud.
>>316506498
So did Namco, you dingus.
>>316506716
I don't even play ff, and I know about cloud. He's one of the newer faces, and a big one to boot.
>>316501606
Cloud was in Theatrhythm
>>316506804
What
>>316506716
Look, we get you don't like ff7, but cloud is iconic. He is the face of jrpgs to many, and ff7 got many people into the genre. You may not like it, but facts are facts.
>>316506580
>semi-omniscient character who call down tetris blocks at will to expand himself or the map
>skilled player can remap the whole stage
Doesn't Namco publish the Dragon Ball games? Why couldn't Goku legit happen this time?
>>316502362
Sorafags are started to really piss me off.
Sora is basically a Disney whore that shouldn't be seen as connected to Square at all.
Cloud didn't get in because he was in kingdom hearts, he got in cause FF7 was a generation defining game. It won game of the year the year it came out, and the year after. It won game of the year two yeas in a row, it was so ridiculous.

Gundam

>>316500812
Simon Motherfucking Belmont
>>316501480
Please kill yourself.
>>316507563
Kingdom Hearts is nowhere near the same level of influence or brand power as Final Fantasy.
Clouds not just representing FF7, he's there repping Final Fantasy and Square Enix as a whole.
He's way better than Sora.
>>316507173
>Nothing notable afterwards
Wow
Not falling for this bait.
>>316507563
They probably wouldn't be able to reference Disney in his moves, voice lines or trophy descriptions

There's a reason why Megaman ain't in Marvel vs C A P C O M 3
>>316507835
He's also owned by Disney.
>>316507071
But he isnt as iconic as any of those guys, and i do like FF7, i just think he is really 90's, although i feel the same way about Megaman, the blue bomber made a way more lasting hit on the Popular culture (same PacMan), FF7 was a really good game but it was never a cultural phenomena.
>>316501527
But Metroid's already in anon.
>>316500812
