I am disappointed no ones mentioned Solid Snake??

It would be nice to have either Keats or Ellen, and bring a unique fighting style.

For third party characters, Snake would be nice. Not sure if this game can receive high sales numbers in Japan, since it looks like a majority of characters might come from SCEA.

Must-Have characters
-Kratos
-Nathan Drake
-Sackboy
-Sully
-Spyro The Dragon(or is this owned by Activision now?)
-Crash Bandicoot(^^?)
-Fat Princess
-Sweet Tooth
-Snake(as a guest character)
-Cole McGrath
-Lightning(as a guest character)
-Ratchet & Clank
-Jak & Daxter

But but Snake is young on the Smash bros. so it's outdated.

you know guys after seeing the Michael commercial for the 114th time now I was wondering..would be a smart idea to put someone like the skull dude from COD in the game?

yeah I can see a lot of DLC potential for a game like this...and many (including me probably) will buy them

most of the characters you guys are naming make non sense if we're sticking to the SSB modle.

Kratos, Hurcules, Sweet Tooth, Cole, Nariko(maybe)!!! those characters would fit a fighting franchise mort in the vain of Soulcalibur, or DOA. i just can't picture those characters in a game like that.

my list
Cloud
Secret Agent Clank
Doc. Nefarious
Sly cooper

i don't know much about R&C a crack in time. but i'm sure there's enough characters from the R&C, Sly cooper, and jack&daxter frnchises that would work perfectly well.

i think FF characters are a given.

The sequel of that game is one of my favourite PS2 games, seemless blend of adventure , stealth and battle system , also plently of secrets.

if they'd make it, they should have both these guys as a single character Rua and Tati  , one for heavy attacks one for fast attacks.

One generic/realistic character is enough for one game! (Nathan Drake) having two will make the game lame.
