I agree. I think there are very few times where a third party character is ever appropriate for Smash. That's why I had a problem with Snake, and why I'm glad he's out now. Sonic works, because he's an important part of Nintendo and gaming history. Mega Man works, because he's an important part of Nintendo and gaming history. Pacman works, because he's an important part of Nintendo and gaming history.

Shovel Knight is just one popular indie game. Bayonetta has only had one Nintendo exclusive. The only other 3rd party that would ever make sense in Smash is Banjo, because he was effectivily a Nintendo IP and would represent a huge part of Nintendo's history; Rare Ltd.


Your on a roll! Every single thing you said i agree 100%. Though Snake was unique and pretty cool, there are characters not even in the game that should appear way before him or any other third party.

People get mad at me when i say Bayonetta shouldnt be in it, but all in all she really shouldnt. Its not like we have every notable character from nintendo in the game. I could name 50 more nintendo characters that should be in it before a third party random character.

All third party characters currently in the game make 100% sense, only other non nintendo characters i see that could/should be Banjo Kazooie and maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe but only if they had to add a character thats third party is either Bomberman/Geno.

Banjo Kazooie is the megaman of N64 from the NES. There's a reason why Megaman+Banjo Kazooie were always mentioned that arent nintendo characters to appear in SSB.

Bomberman i feel is almost like Banjo kazooie, just not as important (this is my opinion of course)

Geno might come off biased, but he would be SE rep. And he was only used in Mario's 1st rpg game. And i think he would be in way before someone like Sora, though Chrono could maybe work.

Well, with the theme of gaming history, having a representative for indies in general would make sense given their rapid growth in the industry.  Shovel Knight is a good fit for that position.  He's not the *only* one that could fit that position, but I think he would fit right in with the cast quite well.
