Top 37 Playable Newcoming Characters to Appear in Future Super Smash Bros. Games

So in the same way that Kingdom Hearts does for both Disney and Square Enix, Super Smash Bros. is a game series that celebrates all the good things that Nintendo have given us over the years and today, I give you at least 37 new characters that I feel should make a playable appearance in a future game of the series. Masahiro Sakurai has made the ultimate game of the lot and this one will most likely be the last game of the series for him. But I believe that there will be more games just as long as people are interested in having more games. For this list, these are characters that I feel will have a chance at making a appearance in a future game based on my own opinions and how they can come into the game following the rules that Sakurai has set. So all that said, let's begin the list:

Also like with the Kingdom Hearts list, this will also be one that's continually updated following any of the characters becoming actual fighters in the games.




37 - Slippy Toad (from Star Fox)

Possibly the worst pilot in Star Fox, this character may not be in the game, but many of us absolutely hate this character for always being the one with the most hits form enemies and always has his crew rescue him every single time. So in the same way as the Duck Hunt Dog, everyone wants to really beat this toad up so having him as a fighter in Smash Bros. will allow us to do just that. Though that being said, he's not all bad. He is a valuable ally to Fox as being a well skilled mechanic and being helpful as and when needed. Its just his inexperienced flying that makes all of us angry and this otherwise harmless toad. And as someone who wants all characters in the game to have their own moveset and not have a moveset that is the same as another fighters moveset but just with some alterations, I hope that if Slippy gets in, he doesn't do the exact same things that his allies do (and that includes the final smash too).

36 - Tingle (from Legend of Zelda)

This character is one who is a hit or miss for a number of people and originally came from the Zelda series before spinning off into his own game on the Nintendo DS. To summarise him, he is a merchant who sells maps which often assist Link on his travels. He is helpful when he needs to be, but can be a tad annoying at times too. He has only ever appeared in the Smash Bros. games as an assist trophy and I think it may or may not work if he became an actual fighter. Still, the possibilities are endless and I think he could be a good fighter when he needs to be. But as it is, it would be great if he is a fighter, but not the end of the world if he isn't.

35 - Kamek (from Yoshi)

Seen as Bowser's assistant and parental figure, Kamek is one of a few Magikoopas who does his job pretty well. He's often seen as the best Magikoopa there is and has enough magic in him to do anything, such as change the scenery, turn blocks into something else and even make certain beings, gigantic. This minion of Bowser certainly knows his stuff and would make a great fighter in Smash Bros. (Though don't expect him to fly all the time).

34 - Peppy Hare (from Star Fox)

The oldest of the Star Fox team, Peppy has been fighting in space since the days of Fox's father and having such a legacy like this, surely he should be a fighter in Smash Bros. Well anyway, many of you will know him better as being that guy who shouts "Do a Barrel Roll" to Fox and often acts as a mentor to Fox and despite being the oldest in his team, he gave the role of commander to Fox as he was best suited for the job and that he's worked alongside his father as well. Whatever happens, Peppy is always there to assist and help Fox anyway he can and I'm sure he will do the same if he's a fighter on the field (though he'll probably be less helpful there, but still).

33 - Birdo (from Super Mario)

While many don't know Birdo's true gender (its one of these game theories going around the Internet) and why Nintendo associates her with Yoshi despite not appearing in a single game of that series, Birdo is quite a unique character. It can spit out white eggs against its opponents and can confuse them with setting out a set of eggs and hiding in one of them. Either way, Birdo has a way with eggs and as long as its moves are not identical to Yoshi's moves (which would be a bad mistake in itself), then it could make a great fighter in the series.

32 - Balloon Fighter (from the game of the same name)

What you're seeing here is what Balloon Fighter would possibly look like if he was a fighter in Smash Bros. Now Villager from Animal Crossing has had a bit of Balloon Fighter put in him in the form of us up special move and I feel that Balloon Fighter does have what it takes to be in Smash Bros. His up special move is already there, he can fly down and spike people with his down special move and the rest is left for the imagination. He wouldn't have a problem with flight and he would certainly not have a problem with fighting (though when his balloons are burst, then he is helpless).

31 - Zant (from Legend of Zelda)

So if more enemies of Mario were able to make it into a Smash Bros. game, what about more enemies of Link and not just Ganondorf all the time? Well that's where Zant comes in. Like with Bowser Jr., the Koopalings and Kamek, Zant serves as a high ranking member of Ganon's minions and as such, plays a key role in Twilight Princess as one of the game's 2 main antagonists. He is a powerful sorcerer, appears to look like Slender man in some form or another and has powerful telekinetic abilities. In fact, when using his powers, he doesn't need to flap those arms around. But anyway, he is a worthy fighter for Smash Bros and would very likely be faster than Ganondorf any day.

30 - Prof. E. Gadd (from Super Mario)

Before Luigi came along, E. Gadd was the only one to use the Poltergust 3000 to suck up ghosts which I think Nintendo got inspired to do after seeing the Ghostbusters films. He was also the inventor of F.L.U.D.D. and has played a supporting role in many Mario games, most notably in the Luigi's Mansion games and Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time (the predecessor of which, he made a small non story related appearance in), both of which, he plays a big part in. He may be an old coot, but I think he has enough stuff in him to be a great fighter in Smash Bros with the many devices he has made over the years playing a part in each of his moves and of course, his final smash. He may be the mentor of Luigi as well as serving as nothing more than just an inventor of things, but this guy knows what he can do.

29 - Dimentio (from Super Paper Mario)

Now I'm not against other versions of already established characters in Smash Bros being in the game, just as long as they don't act as clones of that established character and have some uniqueness to them which unfortunately isn't quite the case with Dr. Mario, Toon Link and Lucina who are versions of Mario, Link and Marth respectively (though in the case of Lucina, she did for a time take on the name Marth, but is a completely separate character all together). However, despite the cloned move sets with some slight variations to them, I'm actually ok with these characters in the game. I mean just so as long as they are there for a reason that's not because the developers didn't know who to put in and felt it easier to make those characters work similarly to the other characters. But I'm going off topic here. So none of the characters in the Paper Mario game have been playable in Smash Bros. and as such, I think its about high time that they get a place in the game because they deserve it. But of all the characters that should come in, I think Dimentio should be among them. I mean he is *spoiler alert* the true main antagonist of Super Paper Mario and as such, is able to flip from 2D to 3D and has a way with dimensions, manipulation and just general magic so he has all the good traits of being a great fighter in the game. Though what the developers think about him is another question entirely.

28 - Jimmy T. (from WarioWare)

So pretty much every WarioWare character has appeared in the series at least once with Wario as a playable character and the others as either assist trophies or just trophies and stickers. So why not have another Wario character as a fighter in a game? Well enter Jimmy T. He may not be a fully fledged fighter like the other Wario characters, but who wouldn't want a man who loves to dance to be in Smash Bros. We haven't had that at all in the series so I think there is a lot that can be done to make it happen. His moves would obviously be the dance moves that he has at his disposal and it would liven things up a bit in the battlefield. Make this happen is all I can say.

27 - Majora (from Legend of Zelda)

In light of the recently announced 3DS remake of Majora's Mask, it felt right of me to consider the main antagonist in a fighter role in Smash Bros. just because of its twisted and bizarre nature. Its a mask that can possess a being and make them all powerful and unstoppable. Honestly, I'm not sure if it can be made into a fighter. I mean there is potential for it to be a fighter, but probably more potential for it to be an item (and a pretty powerful one at that).

26 - Jin Kazama (from Namco Bandai's Tekken)

While mostly a PlayStation exclusive, the series has made a few hits on Nintendo devices, specifically the 3DS and Wii U, both of which had those games get exclusive content. Its unlikely that we would get a character from Tekken considering it being more of a PlayStation exclusive than an Nintendo one, but if any character was chosen for the game, I would go with Jin. He is the main protagonist after all and it wouldn't be hard to put him in, considering that he comes from a fighting game series. Unlikely to happen, but with Namco Bandai on hand for making Smash Bros. games, there is a good chance for it to happen.

25 - Dr. Wright (from SimCity)

So the series may be owned by Maxis which in turn, is owned by EA (otherwise known as the worst company to work for and is known for rehashing all its sports games), but what many of you don't know is that the first SimCity had Nintendo elements in it in its SNES form and as such, the character Dr. Wright is owned by Nintendo. Now so far, he has only been nothing more than just an assist trophy, but I think there is a way to make him a fighter, though personally I don't know for sure on how such a thing could work. Being an assist trophy is one thing, but being a fighter is another thing entirely and its unclear as to how such a thing could be done. His final smash is obvious enough, its just everything else.

24 - Fawful (From Super Mario)

The master of odd vocabulary and one of the major and most reoccurring antagonists in the Mario & Luigi series, Fawful is one that can fight, but can also have an issue with the way he speaks. Now while its unlikely that we will get to hear any of that odd vocabulary that he has in Smash Bros. if he ever becomes a fighter, he has proven in the series that he can fight in a number of ways and while he does start out as a sidekick, he does later prove himself to be an independent villain and as such, can be a formidable opponent against his foes. I haz fury is all I can say.

23 - K.K. Slider (from Animal Crossing)

His heart, mind and soul is put to his music as he plays every Saturday night in your Animal Crossing village, but how is he on the battlefield, many will ask. Well to start with, he has appeared in the background of some Smash Bros. stages doing what he does best with his music so he knows the battlefield quite well. Personally, some whacking with the guitar and singing his heart out may be what it takes for him to be a fighter and it wouldn't be the first time a dog is a fighter in the series as the Duck Hunt Dog has appeared as a fighter in the most recent of the games. And if K.K. Slider was in as a fighter, it would very literally be a dog fight. I see this happening, just as long as he is made unique and is not a direct copy of someone else.

22 - Ghirahim (from Legend of Zelda)

Even though he is one of the more recent Zelda characters having debuted in Skyward Sword, had a non-canonical role in Hyrule Warriors as one of Ganon's high ranking minions and appeared as an assist trophy in the most recent Smash Bros. game, I feel that Ghirahim could very well be a good fighter in Smash Bros. He has many forms, can teleport and like with other characters in Smash Bros., he is a swordsman. How he becomes a warrior is now down to the developers, but I think with a few more games, his story will be expanded and we can get to know a bit more about him.

21 - Waluigi (from Super Mario)

Yeah I get it. There's a big fanbase that just wants Waluigi to be a fighter in the game given that most of the roster consists of largely Mario characters and he isn't one of them. Seems very unfair, but at the same time he hasn't made much of an impact to the franchise as a whole other than being a version of Luigi that's bad to complement a version of Mario that's also bad. He hasn't appeared in any games outside of those Mario games where its either racing, playing sports or having a party. Somehow I think Nintendo secretly don't want to make a game or a series of games just about him. But I still find it difficult to digest the fact that the Piranha Plant; a generic enemy of sorts and Isabelle who is basically useless both got a fighter appearance and yet Waluigi a character who has been requested to be a fighter for many years has not made the cut in Ultimate (at least for now anyway). Oh well, I guess there may be more chances ahead. We'll just have to wait and see.

20 - Captain Toad (from Super Mario)

He may just be Toad, but this Toad unlike others before him, is a brave and smart one. He made his debut in Galaxy as a supporting character, but thanks to the success of 3D World, he got his own starring role in Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker. I think its great that now Mario's allies get the spotlight and much needed attention that they deserve. Luigi may be Mario's brother, but he is more than that. Yoshi may be Mario's noble steed and parental guardian, but he is more than that. Peach may be Mario's damsel in distress, but when  you actually play games not developed by Nintendo but still published by them, you know that she is more than that. And Toad is no different. Each character in their own right is a hero. Luigi has on many occasions assisted Mario and has even braved his fears to save him. Yoshi on the other hand (while it is a stupid move on Mario's part) has sacrificed himself to keep Mario going and has worked hard to keep him and Luigi together during their childhoods and while Peach does get kidnapped, she has helped Mario on many occasions like in the Paper Mario games where she uses her knowledge of things to help Mario find her and used her wishful thinking to give Mario more power to defeat his foes. Toad on the other hand, has explored the galaxy to find the stars that Mario needs and has journeyed alongside him on many occasions to stop Bowser and the forces of evil. The Smash Bros. games have already got the 4 main and most reoccurring characters of the series as well as Bowser Jr and the Koopalings, Rosilina and Luma and unofficial Mario characters (according to the games) Yoshi, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong and Wario. So why not have another character into the mix because believe me, Toad is much more than just a mere servant of Peach.

19 - Chase McCain (from LEGO City)

While it is unlikely for a LEGO character to appear in a Smash Bros. game, it would be very cool if there was one. I mean from what I know, there seems to be more LEGO games on Nintendo platforms than there are on other platforms (though that is counting all the TT Games developed ones and not those from way back in the day) so its possible for a LEGO character to appear in the game, but which one? Well how about Chase McCain from Wii U exclusive LEGO City Undercover and its 3DS exclusive prequel. He has a variety of disguises, he knows a bit of fighting, like any police officer he can use a gun and I say for his final smash, he could grab a few bricks, put all his opponents in the model and blow it up. Yep, that's how I see it. But anyway, it be great to have a LEGO character, just don't expect there to be one in the series any time soon.

18 - Banjo-Kazooie (from Rare's game series of the same name)

Given Rare's stance with Nintendo and Microsoft being complete dicks to them with this focus on Kinect thing (seriously, go back to Nintendo, you'll regret it otherwise), its unlikely that any of the properties that Rare own (with the exception of Donkey Kong and Star Fox which are both owned by Nintendo) will ever make an appearance in Smash Bros. But that being said, there is still hope. I mean of all their characters, Banjo and Kazooie deserve to be fighters in Smash Bros, but its more likely that they will both act as one character like they have done in the games with Kazooie being the up special move of all things. Its possible, but unlikely unless Rare get their way and team up with Nintendo once more.

17 - Impa (from Legend of Zelda)

So we've had a number of swordsman over the years in the series until Wii U and 3DS when we had our first swords woman in the form of Lucina. So how about we bring in another one in the form of Impa from Zelda. Unlike the other sword people, she wields a curved sword and she can also use fire and water for various attacks. She is known as one of Zelda's high ranking officers, having helped her and Link send an army to war against the forces of evil. But of course, there is more than that as she is part of a mysterious tribe that call themselves the Sheikah and has protected the royal family of Hyrule for many generations. So why not have her in the series. She could be a great fighter, but considering the amount of sword wielders that have been in the series thus far, I'm not sure if she will even be in the next game, but we can still hope.

16 - Arthur (from Capcom's Ghosts 'N' Goblins)

Much like with Mario, Zelda, Meatboy and that guy from Braid, Arthur is yet another video game character who goes on a quest to save his girlfriend, only to repeat the whole quest again to actually be with her (that's what I heard anyway as I played this game and couldn't be bothered to play it again). He has fought many ghosts and many goblins as well as other Capcom characters and some Marvel characters and for most of that time, he's either in his armour or in his underpants like Shulk, or he's dead with only his bones being left behind. The games have always been made for a wide range of platforms, among them being some Nintendo ones so while he isn't an exclusive character as such, there is potential to have him as a fighter and there wouldn't be much development needed on him as he can fight already. Many of us gamers have had enough of all these rescuing the princess bulls**t, but I think despite that, you can put in Arthur if you think he's a good fighter.

15 - Knuckles (from SEGA's Sonic the Hedgehog)

If Sonic is speed and Tails is flight, then Knuckles is the power of the trio. He is one strong echidna who once was an enemy of Sonic, but over time has made an ally and friend out of Sonic. As we know, he protects the master emerald and is able the climb walls and glide for a short time. Unlike many strong fighters in Smash Bros, he is fast and strong which makes him unique in many ways. If Sonic got into the game then shouldn't his friends get in it as well?

14 - Frogger (from the Konami game series of the same name)

While you could say that he is the most useless character for Smash Bros. considering that he just hops away from traffic and that's it, any fan of him will know that he is more than that. Its kind of like Pac-Man in a way because most people know him as the yellow gobbler more than a fully fledged character in his own series of puzzle and adventure games which is the same for Frogger. This frog has been given many designs over the years from being a regular frog to a frog with clothes and I think when you actually get down to it, he could very well do what Pac-Man did by having some of his moves be a reference to the old Konami games of the 20th century and I think fans would really like that a lot. I see this little guy being in Smash Bros and he will no doubt do than hopping for dear life.

13 - Midna (from Legend of Zelda)

The last of the Zelda characters is one that many want in the games and having seen her in action (twice), I can say without a doubt that Midna is one character that has every right to be a fighter in Smash Bros. just because of how much ass she can kick. She rides on a wolf and uses what I can only guess is her hair for her attacks (as well as what wolf Link can do too). So whether she is in her true form or her imp form, I believe she can be a great fighter as long as she's developed right.

12 - Tails (from SEGA's Sonic the Hedgehog)

Aside from Knuckles, the other ally and friend of Sonic who has been with him since Sonic 2 (though Knuckles has been with him since Sonic 3) is Tails. A master of flight as well as a great engineer who is also a pilot and also very smart and knowledgeable when it comes to all known situations. Tails can grab things and drop those things from a high height, his up special move is kind of obvious and I'm sure he has a number of other great attacks that he can do. If Mario's sidekick is in the games, then surely Sonic's sidekick can be in it too.

11 - Amigo (from SEGA's Samba de Amigo)

So among SEGA's many mascot characters, Amigo is one that likes to dance to the rhythm of the beat. He originated from the game Samba de Amigo on the Dreamcast which was then later remade and ported onto the Wii and since then, he's made a number of cameos in Sonic games as well as being among the many racers in Sonic All-Stars Racing. So far, there hasn't been many video game characters in the series that are dancers, but I believe Amigo can be the very first. He uses maracas which he shakes to his favourite music and I think he can use a variety of different attacks as a fighter. Plus his final smash will be quiet an easy one to do, if not obvious as well.

10 - Conker (from Rare's game series of the same name)

So like with Banjo-Kazooie, Conker is another Rare owned character and its probably unlikely that he will ever appear in Smash Bros. because of Microsoft having some ownership of Rare and using them badly as a result. That being said, Conker made his debut on a Nintendo platform as a character in Diddy Kong Racing before then spinning off into his own series which despite it having child like images, became a much mature game then many people were thinking it wouldn't be. But I think if anything, Conker deserves to be in Smash Bros. because there is a lot of stuff that he can use as attacks and with him, Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong in one game, it would then provide fan service to the fans of the early days of Rare. Seriously if you thought Megaman, Pac-Man, Sonic and Mario all in the same game was great, you ain't seen nothing yet.

9 - AiAi (from SEGA's Super Monkey Ball)

I'm going to say right now that AiAi may be one of the worst characters to be a fighter in Smash Bros., but as an assist trophy, maybe. Anyway, so how would AiAi work in Smash Bros. is debatable seeing as in every one of his appearances, he is in a ball. His final smash is easy enough, its just the other attacks. But having him in the same game as Sonic and Amigo would make it quite the fan service indeed because of them all belonging to SEGA and it would also mark the first time for more than one SEGA character to be a fighter and not always just Sonic. So why is AiAi at number 9 you may ask? Well I just felt that he could bring something to the games that the other SEGA characters listed cannot and I don't know how he would work as a fighter, but I'm optimistic so let's see what happens.

8 - Paper Mario (from Super Mario)

Now before any of you jump to conclusions and say that there's already 2 Marios in the game and we don't need another clone, Paper Mario may be a 2D version of Mario, but he is very different from that Mario. To begin with, his attacks are only his hammer and jumping and much like with Dimentio, he can switch from 2D to 3D. So sorry haters, I have to say that Paper Mario isn't the true Mario. He's just the same character, only in 2D and with a very different set of moves to the more mainstream Mario which will make him unique and not a complete rehash.

7 - Mickey Mouse (from Disney's Epic Mickey)

Now from what I know, Disney have had a history with Nintendo with many of Disney's games having appeared on Nintendo platforms over the years with some being Nintendo exclusives and others not so much. Among these exclusives is Epic Mickey which despite not doing well commercially, was a hit with gaming critics (who are the scum of the Earth in my opinion, as are TMZ) and managed to spawn 2 sequels. The games were following the idea of exploring what was the golden age of cartoons (at least from Disney's part) as well as giving Oswald the Rabbit (who was one of the few characters that appeared in those old Disney cartoons, only to never be seen again) a proper introduction to a new generation of people and the game's intention was to give him and other not so well known Disney characters from those days, the proper recognition that they deserve. So with all that said, I believe that there is a slim chance for Mickey to make an appearance as a fighter in Smash Bros. because of Disney's history with Nintendo and the fact that Nintendo completely overlooked the fact that Wreck-It Ralph was a success when they thought it wasn't, after having given the film makers a fee to pay in order to use Mario characters, ultimately ending up with just Bowser (and possibly a few other Nintendo characters in the background). There is plenty of ways that this can work, but I think everyone will be happy if he was in the game and with his magic pain brush.

6 - Shovel Knight

Although he has appeared in a multi-platform game, Shovel Knight may actually be a good fit for the series as a fighter. To start with, his games are in 2D and with the games being played in a 2D format with 3D stages and models, making his moveset should be a piece of cake with his shovel obviously being the main weapon of choice. As for the final smash, well that one may be more tricky to work out, but if I were to decide what it would be, he could dig a hole and throw any fighters in said hole and blow it up which yeah I guess isn't very creative but that's all I got. As for his history with Nintendo, Shovel Knight was an indie game for the company and the developers went out of their way to persuade Nintendo to get rid of the silver paper in amiibo packs for those who are just wanting to display their figures in their original packaging like most collectors tend to do. So yeah Shovel Knight should be a good choice for the series.

5 - Professor Layton (from Level 5's game series of the same name)

Now Layton, while is a popular choice, is also one that may be more difficult to develop than you think. I mean yeah, he does have many talents aside from his high intelligence and his way with puzzles, but I feel that what the character is known for, may not reflect on his moveset in Smash Bros. if he was ever put into the games. He can wield swords and guns and is able to do some fist fighting too, but I worry about if his moveset is just those things and the thing he is actually known for, is saved for his final smash. It is kind of obvious if that were the case, but that's not the only thing. Even though the majority of the games of the Layton series have the characters in 3D models with the cutscenes depicting them in 2D and also more accurate to their actual appearances, it would be interesting to see how a 3D and more realistic Layton can be made because I would be very happy if we did get him in the game, but as I say, it would be neither easy nor hard to develop him because of what the character can do. But as I say, it would be great to see him seeing as he is in a series that's a big seller in the DS and 3DS markets of games. Plus we haven't seen him on a home console before so this should be quite interesting.

4 - Geno (from Super Mario)

Despite appearing in only one game in his lifetime, Geno has been a highly requested character for the series ever since his appearance in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars but due to him being a Square Enix character (as they made that game with some involvement from Nintendo), having him in the games has been quite tricky. However now that Cloud is in the game along with characters from a number of Japanese developers and publishers, Geno I hope isn't much of a problem to put in as well. Anyone who remembers the game well will know of Geno's ranged attacks as well as the fact that he would be a cool addition to the roster. Plus even though he looks like a puppet, Geno is actually some kind of spirit who can possess any object which can to an extent give him an edge over other fighters. So hopefully he will appear at some point.

3 - Pheonix Wright (from Capcom's Ace Attorney)

He may be able to fight in the courtroom against a wide range of prosecutors from strong and ruthless to weak and pathetic (as well as an inquisitor and the judge too) as well as fighting the many Capcom and Marvel characters out there (when Capcom actually get the DLC done right that is), but lets see about Nintendo's finest. He's a master at finding contradictions, will always fight for what is right in the world, but he can also be a bit all over the place at times. Still though, I think Mr Wright here can still be a great fighter in Smash Bros. if he's developed right and all his moves reflect on what he does in his games. If all that is taken into account for him being in Smash Bros., then I and many other fans will be very happy.

2 - Sora (from Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts)

Its been over 10 years now since the series debuted on the PS2 and while it did start out as a Sony exclusive, Nintendo have had a few fair hits from the series on their portable platforms which to date are the only versions of those games that are playable, except for Chain of Memories which was remade onto the PS2 a few years ago and Coded which was a remake of a Japan only mobile game (from what I've been told). Anyhow, so with about 4 games in the series released on Nintendo platforms and are all Nintendo exclusives with regards to gameplay, Sora or any one of the characters in the series could appear in a Smash Bros game. Yes, Sora is yet another swordsman as it were, but with a variety of keyblades, magic, forms and summons (among many other things too), he is well equipped and ready for a fight. He may not have been initially chosen to be the keyblade wielder that he is, but he has shown enough that he can be one as long as his heart is light and not consumed by darkness. It would be a very interesting choice for a fighter because for a while, Nintendo have never approached Square Enix for a character of theirs to be in Smash Bros. and there is the argument that they would have to also speak to Disney as well, but given that Sora remains in the video games, I believe he is a property of Square Enix and not Disney so therefore, it would only be the former that Nintendo would approach should it go that way. He is a great hero (*ahem* junior hero, sorry Phil) and will always fight the darkness until it goes away.

1 - Rayman (from Ubisoft's game series of the same name)

I was really peeved off when I heard that Rayman is in Smash Bros, but just as a trophy. I mean of all the things that Nintendo have done, that is just the worst piece of torture that you can do. Make a trophy out of a non Nintendo character who everyone wants as a fighter in the game, but he's just a trophy and that's it. Real mature Nintendo. Real mature. But enough about my ranting, so of all the characters that I want in a Smash Bros game, Rayman is the one I want to see as an actual fighter in the most. He comes from a series of platforming games, he was for a time the mascot of Ubisoft and having him in the game, would then be a dream come true. The mascots of Nintendo, SEGA, Capcom, Namco Bandai and Ubisoft all in the same game. If that trophy was just a wind up, then I think Nintendo really do need to grow up, but if it does mean that this guy will come into the game, then maybe, just maybe, he has a chance maybe as a last minute add to the game. But for now, I'm happy with the roster and I hope we see more games in the series and the possibility of DLC for the current game in the near future
