>all these amazing third party characters in Smash now
>the one who started it all didn't return
For what reason?
conami
>Brawl was released in 2008 and MGS2 (where Snake got his look) took place between 2007 and 2009
>Sm4sh was released in 2014 where MGS4 took place and Snake was really old in that game
He's dead, thats why
Because he has nothing to do with Nintendo and never belonged in Smash.

Sakurai couldn't think up a pachinko based moveset per Konami's wishes
Honestly I'm sure Sakurai would have been more than happy to put Snake as DLC (he put in Cloud for fuck's sake), but Konami wouldn't bite.

Konami nuking their involvement with actual vidya development.

To be fair there were the 2 NES games and imports of his other games. And Cloud got in despite being a flagship Playstation character after Square jumped Nintendo's ship.
But I do agree they were both really awkward, albeit nice too.

Probably Konami. The same reason Simon Belmont isn't in Smash Bros. despite being more relevant to video games and Nintendo's history than half of the roster.

>Simon Belmont
>more relevant than dark pit
pfft get a load of this guy
Maybe because Nintendo never actually wanted SS on the roster and they only did it because Kojinami asked for it.
