    I just thought of something regarding the remaining franchise slots. Bear with some crazy speculation, if you will...

    Pretty much everyone agrees it's going in alphabetical order from first SSB to this one, and thus it's likely that Game & Watch is missing in between Fire Emblem and Ice Climbers, all of which were new to Melee. So...

    What would the other franchise be if the pattern sticks? It's in between Wario and Pit's games, which seems out of order. However, WarioWare in Japan is "Made in Wario," and though "Kid Icarus" would be out of order, Wikipedia says the Japanese title for the game was "Parutena no Hikari," which would fit the trend. So what Nintendo franchises are between "Ma" and "Pa" alphabetically?

    Well, third party "Metal Gear" certainly fits, so it could just be that. But it's worth noting that "Panel de Pon" also fits in between. If the third party symbols actually come after the 18, that could possibly be the missing link. As far as I could tell, there weren't any other franchises that fit alphabetically.

    I could just be talking out of my ass here, but that's all I've got. I wish someone had found out Snake's logo number when they had him on the site still...that could clear up a little bit of mystery.

    Punch-Out is apparently Panchi-Auto in Japanese according to Wikipedia... Little Mac still has a chance!

    A stampede is a solid fallback choice for everyone's Final Smash, it seems. That's all anyone ever thinks of, they don't even try to put any thought into it.

    Don't know what to make [character's] Final Smash? Oh, just have them summon a stampede of enemies/miis/yoshis/mr. saturns/buffalo/sailor scouts.

    What about them? They suck. Everyone hates that Final Smash, proving that stampede FSes are a stupid idea.

    Pit summons a gigantic, sexy goddess who's all glowy, omnipotent and cool, and all she does is send out a bunch of crappy little cartoon guys who simply die in your general direction?

    QED.

    Just mentioned it to show that there's precedent for stampede smashes, not that they are better or worse than other kinds, is all. And yeah, Pit's smash does seem rather less than optimal when compared to, say, the FSs of Mario and Bowser.

    if Little Mac wasn't in Smash Bros id be the dumbest thing ever. And it can't be an assist either, he needs to be playable.

    B - charge punch that causes temporarily status aliment on an enemy, slow, dizzy, stun something like that

    B + direction - Punch combo system ala Roy/Marth

    B + Down - A counter that dizzies the enemy, countering too much without success makes Mac tired

    B + Up - A rocket uppercut, chargeable on the ground, gives Mac high verticle and a little horizontal.

    Fianl Smash, Mac's trainer gives Mac health absorbing gloves. Mac attacks and regains health for a short period of time. If Mac is at 0% health (or maximum starting stamina) his gloves will send opponents flying twice or triple what they normally would.

    So Little Mac is essentially Marth without a sword.

    Some imagination you have.

    The way I pictured it, his rapid punch would come into play at some point...

    As much as I might like Little Mac, he's just a boxer. There's not much that can be done with that.

    I think Fighter Hayabusa or Starman from Pro Wrestling are actually more likely.

    I'd almost say one of the opponents from Punchout like Bald Bull or Super Macho Man because they have special moves, but somehow don't think it would be appropriate to have an enemy from a game without having the protagonist in as well.

    Hmm... here's a new idea for an Ice Climber final smash.

    When you grab the smash ball... nothing happens. Or at least it seems that way.

    However, should Popo be killed and not Nana, after grabbing the smash ball, then the player continues to play but controlling Nana instead.

    Or maybe that's too complicated and they're just going to do some mega-Blizzard type move.

    That's not a Final Smash at all. There's nothing "Final" or "Smash" about it and it's a stupid idea stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid.

    By the way speculation is fun so I made a new icon. But whose?

    Well, the IC's Final Smash needs to be useable by one or both climbers. It seems stupid for it not to be a combo attack, so maybe it will revive Nana too?

    Don't forget there can only be 3 3rd party characters. As per what Sakurai said to begin with. :P

    You're sig is over shooting just a bit. I'd replace something with a PIKMIN icon.
    [citation needed]

    J/k. Yeah, it's an advance wars icon. I'm just taking my chances on Sakurai reconsidering the number of third party characters. Uh, I haven't yet to play Pikmin, so I can't root for them, sorry. :(


    Sakurai hasn't determined the official character lineup as of yet. The reveal of Solid Snake does mean they're contemplating other non-Nintendo characters, but the characters must have appeared on a Nintendo platform at some point, and they're only considering one or two more additions in this category.

    I think your talking about Tales of Symphonia, which was mentioned a couple pages back. Most people seemed to hate the idea, but I'd love to have a character from that (preferably Presea so we get an axe-user).
