Are there ANY vidya characters left whos addition into Smash could break the internet as hard as Sonic and Snake did?
>>342795250
Nathan Drake and Master Chief
Bomberman
Crash
An Undertale character
Arle Nadja
Goku
>>342795250
If Cloud failed to I can't see anyone who could. Maybe Gordon Freeman. Or Snake again.
Snake was dumb in the first place really. Would have been way more fitting have Sonic introduce third party. Supposedly his last minute entry in the story is proof that he was added late though.
>>342795250
Probably not.
What made them so special/exciting was the fact that they were among the first non-Nintendo characters to be put in the game.
There was no precedent for it before them.
Now that there is, we can still be shocked but it won't be near as big.
That said, the biggest shocks today would probably be Master Chief and Sora.
Sora would be huge actually because Disney.
On that note the next actual sonic level shocker would have to come from a medium outside of gaming so Bash it Biff could also be gigantic which can be an easy trade if Disney still wants Mario in Crush it Craig 2

Objectively wrong.
Red was big but didn't get near as much attention as sonic.

I can only assume you weren't around for that Japan Time to think otherwise.

If Megaman and Cloud couldn't do it, what makes you think there will be something even comparable in the future?

Can NX even handle it?
probably gokuimo if they were to do it they would probably be better of using kid goku but either way the autists will never be satisfied
Probably just James bond because golden eye

No, because we expect them now.

Realistically no.
Ton of people in thread are expecting this now, given the responses.
Now if they picked someone like Shrek or Donald trump then yeah it'll be a firestorm.
Probably not. It would have to be something barely vidya related like Goku

break the internet? Probably a character from FNAF.
Shovel Knight
>>342795250
Not really. Sonic was by far the biggest third-party character that Smash could have gotten (with no small amount of help from the famous Sega-Nintendo rivalry in the '90s).
Probably Segata Sanshiro. You know how many people were fucking hype when he got revealed in PxZ2? Imagine that but on a larger scale.
I was more excited about Mega Man than Snake and Sonic combined.
>>342796789
Kid Goku would be a better fit but he's not nearly as marketable. People are much more familiar with Z.
Snake again.
>>342798131
Barely anyone even knows who Segata is anymore.

This would be insane
>>342795704
Shit, son, I'd honestly forgotten they put Cloud in.
What ever happened to that Sony clone of smash? Did it get any actual playstation classic characters put in?
Literally nobody could have that kind of effect anymore. Snake already set the bar way too high for unexpected surprise inclusions, and Sonic did the same for characters who people felt belonged in the game. Snake also opened the gate for 3rd party inclusions, a kind of impact you can only truly feel once.
After Sonic, Megaman and Pacman were just the next logical steps and there was no doubt in anyones mind they would show up. Ryu was no surprise either because he is Capcoms new posterboy and we weren't getting an authentic Megaman without Ryu as part of the deal. And by this point Bayo was an obvious choice.
Cloud would have been the biggest shitstorm ever if Snake and the Smashpolls never happened. But now after alls said and done, nobody could really surprise or shock us. Even adding Goku at this point would just be like "yeah ok now we have literally everyone our younger selves dreamed of back in the melee days".
master chief
goku
rei ayanami
>>342795704
This. Cloud's excitement was extremely short lived because when he came out it everyone dismissed him as Little Mac with a sword.
Bayonetta made a splash, but not nearly as much as Sonic or Snake.
>>342798131
>You know how many people were fucking hype when he got revealed in PxZ2
Yeah, all 26 fans of Project x Zone sure broke the internet. Especially the 8 of them old enough to know who Sanshiro was!
>>342795704
if cloud was announced during the pre-release hype period it would have been huge, but he came out as paid DLC way after the initial release of the game

As much as I marked the fuck out over Snake in Brawl, I'm still wondering why he was there to begin with. Only MGS3 was on a nintendo system.
Are there any Smash character whos exclusion from Smash could break the internet?

Snake Eater 3D didn't even come out until YEARS later.

And the japs.
If Cloud was in the game at launch, and had a fancy reveal trailer like other characters, I think that would've been somewhat close.
>You were always number 2..
>>342799985
That's the story. All to please his baka gaijin unappreciative son of course.
>>342795561
>Arle Nadja
I unironically want this to happen. If adding FE chars in Smash helped with bringing the series over then surely it'll do the same with Puyo too.
>>342795250
Cloud was the biggest. Everyone I knew irl and on the internet shit their pants. Sonic was predicted but Snake was pretty big.
I don't think so.
Mega Man simply didn't come anywhere near that level just because Sonic and Snake opened the floodgates, he was the obvious next in line. And while most of the other third parties were interesting and unexpected in their own ways none hit that mark.
The only real contender is Cloud, but I don't think that quite got to the same level of "oh my god, what the fuck is happening, how is this real"-ness
Unless we start getting things that just aren't video game related, namely Goku since he's as much of a joke suggestion at this point as sonic was before he was actually shown for brawl or cloud was before his DLC was dropped, I don't think that kinda magic will happen again.

You weren't around back then. Also no one would give a fuck over a Belmont and I say that as a Castlevania lover.
It already happened, It was Megaman.

The only way to top Sonic the Motherfucking Hedgehog, the third party who's main home was the Nintendo Console for almost a decade after having been rivals with Nintendo for so long, is to bring in Barack Obama.
>>342795250
I think Sonic's addition to Melee would be even more mind fuckery if they went through with the plan. SEGA and Nintendo were still pretty much viewed as rivals at that time.
>>342795250
>Ctrl+F Banjo

Jesus fucking christ, people. Imagine if Banjo-Kazooie being announced for Smash also heralded Rareware's return to Nintendo. It would be as huge as Snake's announcementassuming that Snake had the least hype of the two characters, albeit still a giant amount.
>>342803460
We've basically come full circle. Nothing can go beyond Mario, Sonic, Megaman, Pacman, and Cloud being in the same game.

call her what you want. she's been on nintendo systems since the gameboy color.
certainly a more worthy seat than bayo-only barely managed to break 1 million sales after nearly 2 years and an inclusion in smash for marketing purposes-netta
>All these faggot ass retards who unironically want goku to get into smash
If theres at least ONE fucking standard that smash should adhere its that it should at least stick to video game characters only. Goku is a fucking manga character. Yes there are DB video games but he didnt originate form that shit. By putting goku in smash you open the door for other bullshit like naruto and luffy and then smash will REALLY be complete trash.
>>342806008
I still wish we got ballot results instead of Sakurai saying that Bayonetta was the number choice in Europe apparently.
>>342795250
If Cloud was in Mega Man's place as the first trailer, maybe, he came way too late after many third parties to make any shock value.
Only possible thing left is a non-video game character. Like Mickey Mouse or Goku.
>>342806008
That salt won't change her situation man. Tell wayfoward to quit memeing around and start growing.

Let's pick her, then
Kill yourself please.
>>342795250
This. >>342795704
Cloud was a big name for another internet hype explosion and, while people wanted and even hoped for him to somehow win the Ballot, nobody actually expected him to be released (even Snake had some games on Nintendo consoles), especially as a character unrelated to the Ballot, but it already happened and we all know that it wasn't was big as Snake's.
If fucking Cloud failed, how can I believe that some other character associated to Sony, Microsoft or any other big/classic brand would be able to do better? It will probably never happen now that we already know that "anything" can be "invited" to Smash Bros.
What the fuck does it matter? Hype doesnt mean anything. Are you all children? You guys just wanna sperg out like retards over a fucking video game again? Is that all it takes to fulfill your sad lives?

>>342804131
>Darth Vader
Soulcalibur already stole that title.
Who will the guest character of SC6 be?
>>342795250
I really don't know. Honestly, Wii Fit Trainer was a bigger surprise to me than Cloud, Bayonetta, and "plus buy this game" swordsman #45902. I also appreciate all the porn that was made immediately after the announcement.
Reading the thread, I guess Gordon Freeman would be an strong name, but mostly because of the possibility of new HL3 information rather than the "character being in Smash" itself.
>>342806949
That would be a potential mii costume.
Why didn't you vote for him?
Goku
>>342797481
>tfw Goku has been in more vidya than most of Smash's roster
>>342806631
No one could ever reach the same impact that Snake had
He was the absolute first and that helped boost the shock factor by a lot.
By the time Cloud was revealed, 4 other guest characters were in the roster.
I believe Spongebob will be in Smash 5
What about James Bond? Remember how he almost got into 64?
Can you imagine hearing this start playing after pic related?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ0nDBHPUfQ
I think Crash has potential.
Afterall, Activision and Nintendo have partnered up on Skylanders before.
If not Crash, then Spyro, but I doubt he'd have the same level of impact
>>342807982

Nah cuz Smash is all about an era before the PS2 and GC.
Megaman/Sonic/Pac-Man all held a heart in gamers.
Snake got lucky cuz he had Twin Snakes on Gamecube so Snake got in Brawl.
That's most the characters who were big, and anyone who did beg for others really are fanfags.
I never asked for Sonic, Mega Man, or Pac-Man.
I believed they deserved it.
Now Playstation All-Stars had no Crash or Spyro.
Sure Dante from DMC went multi-platform but he deserved DMC and not a DmC representation before the game was even out.
It's sad when Cloud from a Sony game exclusive in a Nintendo smash game than own Sony's.
I'm just saying.
Mega Man, Sonic, Snake, and Pac-man all deserve it.
It's a shame Sony isn't treating their own like it.
I'm and idort by the way.

Mario and Sonic had their first matchup in a fucking Olympics game before Brawl even came out.
>>342808642
Playstation All Stars couldn't afford over half the iconic PS1-era characters due to so many different devs owning them. And it was obvious they cared more about advertising modern titles and whoever paid them.
At least Smash kept the non-Nintendo ads subtle by allowing only retro examples. And after they exhausted nearly all their big-hitter series.

You reminded me how Shulk is in it whom in from the Wii, but it also comes to what you have to say.
Most Nintendo games are always published by Nintendo, but still they did have Mega Man, Snake, Sonic, and Pac Man at one point.
>>342799204
mickey mouse would be cool
Would there even be a Smash 5? I don't think Sakurai would return because his hands are getting pretty much destroyed, and the character roster sounds like it would go to utter shit if somebody else takes the torch since they allowed Shaun the Sheep to be in Mario Maker.
>>342795250
either Shovel Knight or Zero
>>342809424
I hope we don't get one for a while so the characters can build up. Otherwise they'd really be scrapping from the bottom of the barrel for newcomers.
