Super Smash Bros. 4 (WiiU/3DS)
 

Yeah, smash bros. whoo

Where's Mega Man?

Shouldn't we start this thread once it has new information?

- Smaller roster.

Look at this motherfucker over here. Has no problem bumping his own 7 year old thread, with the last post being 2 years before his reply over news of the 3DS version along with some other tidbits. Then bumping it again 6 months later announcing the news of a different studio is helping to develop the game.

But then someone goes and does the right thing by starting a new thread and suddenly he cries foul because, apparently, there has been no new information.

Get the fuck out of here my dude, you fool no one.

Especially with that dreamy avatar of his!

He listen her motherfucker as I stated before A new topic should be created when we get some actual news muthafucka. Its on now mo faka!

I'd say the Namco thing qualifies as concrete news.

Smaller roster, really? I WANT MORE CHARACTERS.

If I remember correctly, Sakurai said the same thing about Brawl, so take it with a grain of salt.

I hope you put it on a job application, unless you're still in school. You do quite often post like someone who has been held back several years.

That post was a joke man.

YOU'RE the joke, busta.


ooooooo shit son

Ohh it's on now bruh.

It looks like Sakurai has confirmed on Twitter that Geno from Mario RPG and Issac from Golden Sun will be included. Don't quote me on this, but I've also heard baby Mario could be a character as well.

Quote where you heard it from.

Was already confirmed to have been a fake tweet by someone else weeks ago.

He did however leave the possibility of both being included in the future but nobody has been confirmed so far besides the obvious ones.

We're kinda nazis about where info for upcoming games comes from. 'I've heard/read' simply no longer flies on the internet. We like sources and links, especially in regard to characters/features in upcoming games.

Some of us could merely post news without sources, but it takes a degree of credibility to do that and not be called on it (I've been posting news for years, I think I earned skipping a link or two). On the other hand, some sources themselves are dubious!

But yeah, try not to pass info from the grapevine. We're quite thorough. Good day, Curt.

I politely asked not to be quoted.

Oh, I'm sorry.

*punches you*

Welcome to the Roughnecks, son.

Hey be nice, he did ask.

:D :D :D

... :'(

A couple of small details from Harada where he states Smash Bros has been given "top priority" status at Namco, the Tekken team will join development after Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is done, and probably the biggest news of nobody from Tekken is scheduled to be included in the game.

I'd rather not see Mega Man in the game. There's enough "heroes" so why not throw in Guts Man, or Cut Man instead? Besides, Mega Man is either going to be too much like Samus or too much like Kirby.

I love when people generalize similarities between two different characters.

"X23/She-Hulk will be a Wolverine/Hulk clone!"

Mega-Man would not play like Samus.

Plus you can't have a Megaman villain without MegaMan

I would play a fighting game that is all megaman characters.

No, the power fighters does not count.

I also want Mega Man in Smash Bros.

I also agree with Fignuts.

Mega Man would have been in Brawl if it wasn't for Nintendo being upset over Capcom breaking their exclusive "Capcom 5" agreement for the Gamecube. I think that is how it opened the door for Snake to be in Brawl since Kojima begged both Konami and Nintendo once he saw the opportunity while Brawl was never meant to have more than 2 third party characters.

No reason for Mega Man to not be in the next one unless this time Capcom flat out refuses. The robot masters would act as assist trophies/characters.

I don't think Nintendo holds 'grudges' like that. Also should avoid assumptions like how many third party characters were supposed to be in Brawl. I've heard a lot of stories about Brawl's development and the conspiracy theories related to lack of Mega-Man/Pac Man and how Sonic and Snake got included.

Never any hard source for these stories. And Sakurai is fairly open about his tenure on the franchise.

I have my own little theory: Sonic and Snake got in because their parent companies simply asked. Sakurai and Nintendo overall seem chill enough to be open to all sorts of guest characters, Capcom characters included, license and tone permitting. I believe Capcom didn't care to ask at the time.

I'd buy that over the Big N holding roster spots ransom.

Nintendo holds grudges for a long time. They held a grudge against Square Soft for a very long time when they abandoned them to make Final Fantasy VII a Sony exclusive. I don't recall any Square game appearing on the N64 or the Gamecube.

I just want more characters. Any characters, really. Give me the nameless guy from Mach Rider. I don't care. The doctor from Gyromite, even. What about one of the cars from Stunt Race FX? I would play as 4WD.

That was a two-way street, Square didn't believe in cartridges as a medium so the protest was mutual.

Pretty they had stuff on GCN and a bunch on the handhelds since.

If I remember correctly, it wasn't a grudge like they had against Squaresoft that only ended once Iwata took over but more of feeling betrayed by Capcom who promised the "Capcom 5" only to end up on their own porting the games to the PS2 or outright cancelling them.

It was only rumored Nintendo rejected Mega Man but plausible since they really resented loosing Resident Evil 4's exclusiveness and even Mikami himself who promised to cut his own head off was ashamed at Capcom.

Sakurai was quoted to have said after Sonic was revealed that at least "one or two" more extra third party characters were to be revealed for Brawl. It only ended up being Snake but it did lead to more rumors of Mega Man was meant to have been the other.

Kojima admitted he had to beg to get Snake included since he wasn't originally planned for Brawl.

This is what I'm talking about; where are you getting this?

How and why? There's many third party characters that would fit just fine with Smash. Why MM? I would understand some mysterious convo between Nintendo and Capcom during the time but we haven't even that.

If it's just a thought, that's whatever. But I've heard this in more places than here and it seems like people just really wanted Mega Man in Brawl.

Mostly from Wikipedia that has the whole "Capcom 5" saga and some from memory either from IGN or EGM/Gamepro at the time. Do remember Mikami's promise of cutting his head off from IGN at the time.

I think the reason for Mega Man and third party character themselves was certain requirements that either the character had to be a mascot-type which fits Mega Man as Capcom's big mascot or has to have a lot of history with Nintendo consoles which really fits Mega Man more than Snake.

In Japan there was a fan voting poll about which third party characters to include which did have Mega Man as the #2 character and then nobody else close to those two. Sonic was #1 overall and I think the poll itself was meant to be used to determine who gets placed in the very limited spots.

More specifically, I'm asking how you thought it was was plausible Nintendo rejected MM for the reasons stated. And the poll means very little in regard to was supposed to be in the game.

I'm just saying, there may be a very simple non-special reason for MM not getting in.

Its only speculation but a lot of the rumors usually point to either the Capcom 5 or Resident Evil 4 as being the "trigger" for the constant rejections when Brawl was early in development.

Brawl supposedly started development around mid-2005 which would place it months after RE 4 was released and Capcom announcing shortly before RE4 was released that there would be a PS2 version.

Tried to find some actual sources that would have said anything definitive about it but one was a reference to podcast that is no longer available and another is supposedly an Xplay story but can't be found due to how badly G4 mismanaged archiving stuff when they've redone their site a few times. Closest is a quote from MegaMan's creator that says he was never personally contacted around the time of the game's Japanese release although he didn't mention anything about Capcom.

I know he might not be to popular but I'd love to see "Crash" in the new one.

Crash Bandicot, not Crash Holly.
