So far, we have representatives for Nintendo (obviously), Sega, Bandai-Namco, Capcom and Square-Enix. Which other Japanese publishers are left? Konami? Koei-Tecmo? Which characters will represent them?

Snake obviously if they're not cunts about it.

I would like Jack Frost, but
>literal-hee who
I still cant believe cloud ended up in smash before in PSASBR
>>316579885
>Konami?
They'll make Snake return, and/or give us someone from Castlevania or Bomberman. Sakurai don't give a fuck if either of those latter two are dead. Look at Mega Man.
>Koei-Tecmo?
Ryu Hayabusa. If not in Smash 4 (which isn't likely at all), then Smash 5 if that ever happens.
>>316580264
>Goemon
>not Simon Belmont
>not Bomberman
Bomberman would be nice but he's pretty niche at this point.
>>316579885
Who's the nintendo rep?
>>316580452
>not snake is like 10x more famous than they are
and don't say "BUT MUH NINTENDO ASSOCIATION" because that doesn't matter with cloud
>>316580669
It's always fucking Snake with Konami, I like the series to but dammit let one of your myriad of other IPs get some love to dammit,
KLONOA
BOMBERMAN
PROFESSOR LAYTON
VIEWTIFUL JOE (AFTER PLATINUM BUYS THE IP FROM CAPCOMNEVER EVER)
>>316579885
>Koei-Tecmo
Tits from Waifu Warriors
>>316579885
>LIGHTNING Storms into battle.
>>316580452
>>316580669
It'd be Alucard over Simon I think... maybe even Soma since he's probably more popular and well known at this point.
Bomberman would be good, he'd actually fit right in. Although his move set would be a little... repetitive.
The Master from Actraiser would be pretty sick but Enix is pretty ded.
Nep-Nep
Tunes in!
>>316580861
It would be Lightning Strikes into battle
She's been in 3 Nintendo games too btw
>>316580982

>>316580989
>It would be Lightning Strikes into battle
No it wouldn't, because striking into battle isn't a common phrase or idiom.
Sorry if English isn't your first language though. I can see you are trying your best.
>>316579885
Goemon to represent Konami, there's even clues in the DirectThere's historic art of Ishikawa Goemon, the inspiration for Mystical Ninja, in the Direct
>>316580982
So this...
is the true power...
OF AUTISM
WOAH
>>316580989
It would just be "Lightning Strikes!"

Is it a problem that all these companies' most popular series than to be represented more than their smaller obscure ones?
>>316581315
That is how you use it though...
>>316581479
The "of" is superflous.
You should have said "myriad IPs"
>>316581551
Hahaha. No.
You have made a myriad of mistakes, my fickle friend.
>>316580518Megaman
>>316581449
But they have other A list IPs
Or at least they were A-list before coming to the incredibly stupid idea of using second rate Western studios to make them at cheaper cost.
>ZUN
>>316581706
>weebshit.
>>316581623
You're an idiot. "Myriad" as a word means "a large number of". Saying "Myriad of" is to say "a large number of of".
Moron.
>>316581653
I'm still willing to wager that Metal Gear Solid had a much bigger impact than Castlevania and especially Bomberman. That game basically revolutionized AAA games as we know it today.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_game_franchises
If it's not on here and it's not first-party, it has pretty much no chance of being in Smash. So Konami has Snake, Belmont and Bomberman while Tecmo has Kasumi and Ryu Hayabusa.
>>316581815
>Mario and Super Mario are different series

>>316581801
What hell no I wasn't referring to bomberman. That shit was always just one step above shovelware.
>>316580320
One day anon..
>>316581815
It'd be Ryu. People dig ninjas, and no ratings worries regarding titty monsters. Though, fucking ANOTHER sword guy.
>>316581890
Well, Mario has a million subseries. 2D Mario, 3D Mario, Mario Kart, Mario Party, Mario Tennis, etc
With Super Mario, they're just counting the core 2D/3D platformers.

>>316581753
You do know you can look up an example if you don't know how to use a word, right? Dictionary definitions aren't interchangeable with singular nouns.
I would not say: Why did you leave the "a device for separating rooms of a house, often made of veneered wood and glass" open?
Either you're fucking retarded, or I've fallen for your myriad of bait.

>>316582114
Using "myriad" as a noun is generally seen as uncultured, anon. Are you uncultured?
>>316581084
>>316581250
Reminder that this is a SSB thread.
>>316582207
Because Lightning Strikes is a play on the Lightning never strikes twice idiom, because it's implying that she did
>>316582326
Well tough shit, myriad can be used as either a noun or an adjective.
>>316582235
Cloud was pre-topped by Snake nine years ago.
>>316582283
Well, that didn't stop Roy from Fire Emblem coming back.
How long until we get movie stars and TV show characters into Smash Bros?
>>316582507
in an interview sakurai said he considered adding john cena and stephen colbert though he might have been joking
>>316582326
Myriad was incorrectly as an adjective in 19th century poetry, and as a noun before and preceding that. The guy sperging out over "of" is being retarded.
>>316582329
This is obvious, yes. "Lightning strikes" is obvious wordplay, "Striking into battle" isn't.
Do you understand now?
>>316582507
We already have Pikachu and Mewtwo though
>>316582328
And even here people have the common sense to dismiss autistic weebshit.
>>316582328
autism is one thing and both of these are mainly riding the fanservice, but smash bros. is at very least an universally acclaimed game
the reception of neps varies wildly depending on where you're looking even among journalists
>>316581163
It's honestly the first time I post that.
I guess it's a pretty common thought though
>>316582610
I said strikes into battle, that is wordplay.
>>316582821
Strikes, Striking into battle, whatever. That is a semantic issue.
"Strikes into battle" isn't sound English, because Striking into battle doesn't make sense. Storming into battle does make sense, however, and is a pun on "lightning storms".
Do you understand now? I am correct, you are wrong.
>>316583001
Yes it does, because it implied someone traveled through lightning which strikes the battlefield, therefore striking into battle, and this is a play on the fact that her name is Lightning, which makes the whole thing work just fine, as Lightning strikes into battle.
It is sound English and makes sense, you are autistic.
>>316579885
Wonder if we will ever get a western rep?
>>316583001
His thing makes sense because "Lightning Strikes" is a phrase and it's a play on that. Whether adding "into battle" sounds good or not is irrelevant.
"Cloud storms into battle" is what Nintendo actually used, so no shit it sounds fine. Stop pretending you're above anyone else, you're posting on a Chinese cartoon image board for video games.
>>316580102

Why must these things be impossible
>>316583363
>>316583638
Because Actraiser II.
>>316581980
I'm really hoping we get Ryu Hayabusa. It'd be kinda weird, but it wouldn't be that much weirder than Snake, Ryu, or Cloud Strife imo.
It'd be great if Sakurai could work in his other weapons from the NG series in there somehow.
>>316581157
For a JRPG character she's a pretty simple design
Valve.
>>316583184
Little Mac was included to appease western fans so it's not impossible that there could be a western third party character.
My hope is that it's pic related or Scorpion.
>>316582084
Lu Bu is a weird way of spelling Zhao Yun
>>316580460
who even owns bomberman now?
>>316585463
Boon hates Nintendo so no.
>>316583184
>>316585463
Rayman? Come on, people.
But Scorpion or Sub-Zero would be great. Could even have some Ryu vs. either of them rivalry going on there.
Or Banjo-Kazooie. Even Master Chief by this point, and I'm serious. It'd actually be kinda cool.
If we're talking Western characters in general, then Dark Samus would be great too.
>>316585665
>>316585463
Shame Liu Kang is evil now. And that Doomguy or Cyberdemon are owned by Betty.

>>316585761
>Shame Liu Kang is evil now.
Does that really matter?
If anything, Scorpion or Sub-Zero are the mascots of MK anyway.
>>316585915
Let me just point out that there was a Wii U version of Injustice.
>>316585937
This would actually be pretty hype.

I think a Halo stage would be cool too.
>>316580102
I also want this fucker in Smash, it would be amazing.
>>316581157

>>316586104

My nigga
The way I see it, his up-B could be a teleport ala Shiek's, only if you teleport into an enemy, he will follow up with an Izuna Drop, like in the Dead or Alive series.
How fucking hype would that shit be? Especially with his:
>TWOOOOAAAAAHHH
>yfw the camera even zooms in if you land an ID
>>316586149
Liu Kang is no longer the protagonist. Also, Goro is iconic.
Aren't we forgetting somebody?
>>316586370
Ryucides would now be a thing, oh my god yes
>>316586484
Smash already has an FF character
>>316586370
I was thinking it'd be more of like a Side B charging attack since the drop would defeat the whole point of the recovery.

Ehhhh.
It would only defeat the whole point of the recovery if the opponent was dumb enough to get in your way while you tried to use it.
I could see some people exploiting it for lulz and shit but if it came down to the last stock on both players, no one's going to risk challenging it, assuming it counted as a KO for Ryu, which it should.
You do kinda have a point though.
>>316587059
It'd be his up throw, jesus christ guys this isn't rocket science
>>316586868
>Ryu gets the Legendary Black Falcon outfit as a default, plus several of his other iconic outfits as alts
>original NES costume as an alt
>Fiend Ryu from NGB

>several of the alts from NG2/NGS2/DOA series
>>316587231
Actually the more I think about it, the more I realize it wouldn't necessarily defeat the 'whole point' of the recovery since other characters like Kirby, Dedede, and Ike have recoveries that could potentially kill you if you don't know what you're doing.
It'd be a little different but it could work, maybe if it had decent range so you could maneuver past anyone trying to exploit it for trolls.
>>316585665
I'm betting if they get Banjo, they will also have Chief. It seems something Sakurai would go for and Microsoft's planning to be "Everywhere" including publishing Minecraft on Wii U themselves (I wouldn't be shocked if they are doing a 3DS version too). It's not a new idea either since they did do Nintendo DS games with THQ and even were developing a port of Viva Pinata for the Wii (Climax Brighton were making it till MS had a fallout with Nintendo over Goldeneye). MS and Nintendo are obviously talking again since DK 64 got put on the VC (And that would require a lot of working with MS because they own the engine DK 64 runs on along with Jetpac)
It would probably be an insane moment for Smash and console history if it happened. I think it could. And /v/ will implode again.
>>316588232
I'm not ready for shitposting to become sentient, anon. Is there a place in the new future for me?

Some kind of Halo 3DS game would be sweet too.

Yeah, no.
>>316588980
It would also have to originally be a video game. So you can ignore stuff like Lego, Dragon Ball, Yugioh and all the Disney characters in Kingdom Hearts. And western characters seem high unlikely for the most part, but Rayman did get a trophy already.

>>316590287
Mon Hun never had a chance in the first since Capcom doesn't want a hunter in crossovers because it would require giving them a definite image
The requirements are that the 3rd party has to be iconic in a sense, either having widespread popularity, a huge history with Nintendo, or being a face of a genre
so basically Doomguy and Reimu have way more of a chance than any of your shitty 3rd party suggestions.but we'll probably get Goku. He's pretty much the face of modern anime and would be Bamco's second rep.

It's Bethesda and Todd that hates Nintendo.
