I'd say getting Shantae or Shovel Knight wouldn't be hard. K. Rool is as likely as them getting in also.

It's dumb guessing who's more likely to get in.

Shantae would be a really hard sell for Nintendo

It would be very easy for Nintendo to get Shantae or Shovel Knight, much in the same way that it is very easy for a supermodel to get a date with a goon.

That assumes they want Shantae in their game

My point is that Nintendo does not want to put Shantae or Shovel Knight in their game, much in the same way that a supermodel would not want to go on a date with a goon. :thejoke:

K Rool isn't even popular enough to be in the Donkey Kong games. It's sad but it's the truth.

I think K Rool is less likely than other DK characters like Dixie or Cranky, and those in turn are a bit less likely than other non-DK characters, but all are more likely than any of these thirsty indies grasping desperately for the promotional motherlode.

Retro wanted to shake things up and try to make their series without him. I think when it was announced, people were expecting K. Rool.

I would select King K Rool even less than I select Mr. Game and Watch and R.O.B. the Robotic Operating Buddy. He would be one of the characters that I might get while playing random and say "Oh darn now I have to play this character." Sorry King K Rool fan(s). :(

What are you even booing here?

I think my favorite desperate indie bid is the Super Meat Boy one, because if I recall correctly those dudes have, like, deliberately not released any games for Nintendo at all. But hey please put us in Smash.

I hope Snake has a good chance. I bet he's near the top in the ballot but I have a feeling that Nintendo doesn't want him since V isn't coming to any of their platforms.

Then again, Brawl did a lot of promotion for 4.

Yeah I can't figure out how people want K. Rool so bad over any other Donkey Kong character. Dixie, Cranky, any of the Kongs introduced in 64, even loving Kiddy Kong had more personality and a better-fitting moveset than K. Rool. Also whoopee, another fatass heavy character that would never see the light of day competitively.

Because people aren't making choices based on possible character movesets because the devs are the ones to decide on that.

And the 64 kongs are poo poo compared to K.Rool (Except lanky)

Not totally true. Tiny was cool before they made her into a creepy Rule 34 looking Candy Kong Jr. and Lanky loving rules :colbert:

Smash does need more villains though but man, it seems like throughout the entire series' heavies are just consistently sub-par with few exceptions and I hate to see another one added to the roster that ends up being a throwaway character you just endure using to get challenges knocked out

I would play the gently caress out of Dark Matter. Shooting mini versions of itself as projectiles, possessing the character as a suicide move, and Zero/Zero Two form for a final Smash :aaa:

I think the Nightmare is probably a better choice, since he's got a humanoid form, but I also think Dark Matter as a spherical character who hovers could be really interesting -- he'd be Kirby/Jigglypuff sized, fall down if hit and be subject to normal physics, but he'd be "taller" than Kirby/J-puff because he'd float a few inches off the ground.

I'd imagine him playing kind of like a lighter Lucario, slow but floaty. But yeah, Nightmare would be cool too and would make more sense as a fighter considering his humanoid form. Even better, add Marx and give him nothing but troll moves.

drat. I'd spend real dollars for a villain DLC pack with K. Rool, Nightmare, and other classic bad guys in a bundle.

They can really branch him out compared to his SSBM incarnation though. Mewtwo now has a lot of viable physical attacks in the real Pokemon games, he's not just a psychic ball-shooting Goku anymore. Low Kick, Psycho Cut, Zen Headbutt.

EDIT


Galacta Knight is > Magalor. So is Bandana Dee
