It would be cool to see a rep from Riviera: The Promised Land which originally came out on GBA. I'm very fond of the game and it has a cute cast of ladies who have a pretty wide range of weapons and attacks.

I wonder if Nintendo could get someone Crono from Chrono Trigger into Smash Bros. I'm not sure how rights to characters work though.

It still blows my mind how good the sprite works is in the 2D FE games. Animation smears go such a long way to making stuff smooth. Moreso than Lyn I'd love to see Hector. There's already plenty of sword fighters, why not an axe brawler?

Because the game came out 11 years ago, they were in one game, and there have been 6 more since then. Including the most recent which was the most popular entry of the series and literally saved it from cancellation.

Geno makes a small (visual) cameo in Mario & Luigi so I'm not sure that Square actually owns that character, it may just be that Nintendo doesn't recognize him as important. Same reason why we'll never see Wart as a fighter.

Crono is owned by Square, which runs us into the problem again that even if Square gave Nintendo the freedom to put in a third-party character, it sure as gently caress won't be Crono.

It's like Geno except with even more begging directed at SE. Just because a game was exclusive to a Nintendo system doesn't mean that makes it any easier to see that character in a Nintendo title.

Nintendo had to get Square's permission and credit Square for that cameo.

Interesting. So Square's been okay with them using him though. I mean a Square partnership isn't IMPLAUSIBLE, though there probably won't be such a collaboration in THIS iteration of Smash. Maybe the next one.

If Nintendo and Square ever did do an agreement for a character in Smash, it'd be something like Fighter or Red Mage from the original Final Fantasy for the combined "nostalgia" and "generic enough to represent an entire franchise" double kill.

EDIT: Or possibly Erdrick from Dragon Quest, for the same reason except more :japan:

Like I said earlier, I highly doubt Nintendo would use a 3rd party deal to get yet another Mario character into Smash Bros. Maybe Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, TWEWY or a KH original character.

Also all of your dream rosters are awful for excluding the one perfect Nintendo character.

Giygas would be hilarious as an assist trophy. It'd be like Andross, he falls into the background and a text box says "YOU CANNOT COMPREHEND THE FORM OF GIYGAS' ASSIST TROPHY" then the stage explodes.

Giygas as an assist trophy would cause all characters to commit suicide and all save data to be erased unless you, the player, prayed hard enough with with your friends for that not to happen.

Actually, the next EarthBound assist trophy should totally be a Starman. He just stands there and shoots lasers or fireballs, but there's a 1/128 chance he'll be a Starman Super instead, in which case he just throws a Sword of Kings at someone and disappears.

I was always under the impression that unique characters that showed up in Super Mario RPG were owned fairly jointly between both Square and Nintendo.

I am entirely okay with having Porky as a character. He would have the best goddamn taunts.

He's basically Cartman, but with access to people more evil than he is.

They wouldn't have to stick to that exact layout, they could add more openings. Also, imagine if Pac-Man (or Alfonso if Pac-Man is in the battle) were running around the maze in 2D limbless form, pushing players toward the exits.

I like this take on the alternate versions. It's not exactly Final Destination, there's still variance, it's just being used as a standard.

It's not certain or anything, but Shulk is rumoured to be in, according to the E3/Gematsu leaker.

Besides that, it would make sense to included Xenoblade representation since there's a new game coming up on Wii U.
