Bayo should come after they add the 50+ that deserve to be playable Nintendo characters.

Why trust what Nintendo say's on FACEBOOK?
I hope not true and they consider everyone that is a video game character.

Besides, pretty sure this will also influence Smash 5.

Wouldn't be surprised as 3rd party characters require negotiating with the companies who own them. They may not want to have to deal with the hastle.

okay, well that's like, your  quite unpopular opnion, man.

It's subjective who deserves and who doesn't. I personally can't think of more than 20 intresting characters including 3rd parties, if I think really hard.

The thing is, SSB is practically Nintendo History+Fan Service. Its always been the case, Bayo doesn't make sense nor does 99% of third party characters people want in (ex: Sora)

As for Nintendo Characters, there are easily over 20 characters. I could do this all day bro :)

Not saying Bayonetta wouldn't be interesting, but thats to say that other characters should be in before her/Rayman/etc.

Bayo 2 is just 1 exclusive game that is niche despite being really good. Has nothing to do with Nintendo other than 1 small game being exclusive. Srry but there's a reason why the roster is the way it is.

I'd still want to see Shovel Knight. Wouldn't the devs want him in Smash?

nintendo realised if they cant get third parties to make games, they prob aren't trusted with third parties assets.

Guess that means no Goku  

I'm sure at least one person out there is upset by that...

There are probably hundreds of devs that want there characters for SSB.  :0

Apparently the ballot is also open to third party characters too.
