Well Square Enix owns the rights to all original characters that appeared in Super Mario RPG. Had Nintendo contacted them during SSBB's developement, Square would've suggested Cloud's inclusion just like they later did with SSB4.

Abash3387d ago

I still want Geno to be added in the next Smash Bros

Ol_G3387d ago

Sakurai asked for cloud they didn't suggest it he could choose freely between FF characters

KNOKAFOKE3386d ago

Considering Smash is an advertising platform for popular and upcoming titles (in this case FF7 Remake) and the utter ubiquity of FF7, Cloud's really the one who makes more sense if it comes down to a choice between the two.

Last_Boss3386d ago

I thought it would be cool to have Klonoa & King Mickey.

KentBenMei3386d ago

Man, Geno really deserved to be in this game way more than f***ing Bayonetta. Disgusting.

Relientk773386d ago

A lot if people want him in Smash

FinalomegaS3386d ago

ahhh it's OK Sakurai...

there's always the next Smash bros, and the next and next lol

at some point Smash bros roster won't be characters but actual Franchises serie names:

DK
MegaMan
SF
SuperMario World
Fire Emblem
etc etc

click on it and see the full roster.

Because honestly we're going to run out of screen space with all the characters.

would be cool to see Master chief has join the fight! would give MS some advertising right there.

Mickey Mouse ( Disney Series)
Sub Zero & Scorpion ( MK series)
M.Bison & Guile ( SF series)
Lara Croft (TR series)
Leon S Kennedy & Wesker ( RE series)
Batman & Joker ( Batman series)
Commander shepard (alternate between male and female version:ME series)

i've included the bad guys to add to the story mode of having a proper final boss according to who we pick.

I mean we should get back some old characters to add and we should well be near 100 characters.

I can see everyone but commander shepard have a good double jump... jet pack?

To me smash brows Melee is my all time favorite. I can't tell you how many hours I played that game between friends and family. When I was a kid, my parents couldn't afford a gaming console so I had to go somewhere that had an arcade like setup with the only difference being instead of arcade cabinets, they had big screen crt TV's and gaming consoles setup. I would go with my friends on special occasions after school or with my family on the weekends.

I would meet and make new friends at that place as we were all gamers and we also brought our game boys and would trade pokemon. I don't think those places exist these days but back then, it was easy to meet like-minded people and have fun for hours.

franwex111d ago

Well, I’ll add my extremely subjective ranking too. I won’t include the 3DS version as I don’t owned it. I did play it for a few minutes though.

5. Brawl.
4. N64 Smash
3. Ultimate
2. Wiiu Smash
1. Melee

BlaqMagiq1110d ago

Yup Ultimate for me BY FAR is my favorite.

Ten Overdue Fighters for Smash Bros.

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "While the future of Smash Bros. has been uncertain for a while - whether Nintendo will build on Ultimate or bring us a new entry entirely - within all likelihood a new Nintendo system still means something new for Smash Bros. is on the horizon, and that something will almost certainly include new fighters, however many or few. While this might be the gaming article equivalent of putting up Christmas decorations in October, it’s never too early to start speculations when it comes to Smash Bros. before two thirds of everything inevitably gets leaked ahead of time. Keep in mind that this is not a list of predictions for future newcomers, though a few could perhaps fit in that same category, but rather a small list of the characters that in this writer’s humble opinion are overdue an appearance in the gaming crossover to end all crossovers."

I feel bad for Smash fans. Those guys have been trying to maintain the scene active for 20+ years and get nothing but hate from Nintendo.

RoseSapphire741d ago

Sakurai explains how he and Nintendo still don't understand how the internet works.

FTFY

Snookies12741d ago

Exactly, online play would be wonderful on Smash if Nintendo gave a crap about their online services. To be fair though, Nintendo's online offerings would be great if it were 15-20 years ago lol.

jambola741d ago

I've always said that Nintendo is either innovative and ahead of the curve
or 20 years behind, no in between

CrimsonWing69741d ago

I’m sorry, but if a game is MP then there’s no f*cking argument that can justify no online MP. What he says about competition being different from just playing with friends shows me how out of touch these people are.

It’s not until a new generation that understands things steps in to clean-house that we’ll see some evolution here.

Vanfernal741d ago

His argument is nonsensical. "You'd be limited to just playing people from your region". As opposed to being limited to playing people FROM YOUR COUCH!

CrimsonWing69741d ago

What I don’t get is how do you not have competition and experience the same issue if you have a friend that’s way better than you?

GoodGuy09741d ago

It's a big fighting game so online multiplayer is a must. Competitive smash is the only thing I see fun in these games anymore asides from the big character reveals, singleplayer is laughable and you ain't gunna have people over for couch gaming much.

If Nintendo makes a new smash, it needs a huge evolution for singleplayer/couch play to be enjoyable for me any more. But we all know they'll just do a deluxe edition for their next console lol. They really need to up their servers as well.

NotoriousWhiz741d ago (Edited 741d ago )

I can't imagine Nintendo producing a better smash game than ultimate. Roll it forward with a deluxe edition maybe with an extra character or two and call it a day.

Some other developers can try pushing platform fighters to the next level, because I don't think Nintendo is up to the task.

DarthZoolu741d ago

They already created a better smash brothers game than ultimate when they created melee

masterfox741d ago

he sounds more like is trying to justify Nintendo ineptitude to create a proper network infrastructure in order to Smash Brothers work properly online.
