I heard that Master Chief, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Kratos, and the Kool-Aid Man are all gonna be in the next Smash Bros.

I heard the gun from Call of Duty Black Ops II is going to be in the next Smash Bros., too.

I think we all just need to quit guessing what characters are going to be on the next Smash Bros. I just hate when people keep suggesting that 3rd party characters need to be added over Little Mac, Saki, even Waluigi, etc. Just let Nintendo do what they want... I don't even agree with all the suggestions of characters people constantly ask for, and they need to improve on what's already there before adding more adding stuff on top of that...

A cousins friend of mine who works for NOA said Lt. S.O.A.P is in the SSB4

I only want Pacman, Ms. Pacman, and Blinky in there, IF, Megaman, Protoman, Bass, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Snake, and Raiden make it in the game. I'm only asking for those 3rd party characters, but only IF they make sure to get ALL Nintendo characters in there FIRST. I know I've said this 100s of times, but they need to make sure they get all Nintendo stuff in there, before worrying about Sonic. They haven't even perfected what they already have(stage editor, online, etc...), so I don't want to see Sonic and Snake again if they don't make those features better. I'd rather have a perfect stage editor for Nintendo characters, than Sonic anyday...

Don't be silly. Nintendo fans' heads would all explode at the thought that they would have to start liking CoD if that happened.

The MP7 to be exact. u_u

Ya, I heard that Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck, Shrek, The Lorax, Cat in the Hat, Sam from green eggs and ham, Registeel, gingerbread man, Ralph, the Noid, Ronald Mcdonald, and Grimace are making it in the game.

Don't worry they'll be recolors of Snake, and nobody likes recolors. Remember, they can't have their own movesets because realistic guns are too evil.
Also, my aunt who is Sakurai's secretary told me other day that Issac (from the binding of issac) would be an assist thropy!

Oh ya? Well I heard that every Pokemon ever is gonna be playable. I also heard Mario is gonna get cut for Kratos, but Paper Mario is gonna stay. Lanky and Chunky Kong are replacing Diddy and Donkey Kong, too...

Yep Nintendo fanboys hate a game they can play on there system, thats like an apple fanboy liking TWEWY

lol love when topics like these come up and how all the sudden ppl have family/ a friend working in the field that knows stuff xDD like orly just cuz they say something doesnt mean it will happen the developers make the final decision and what if there just brainstorming ideas and throwing it on the table

but anyway from the original post i think those would be nice to have in the game i think they would just drink ridley down to the size or charizard and have a good move set why not? it isnt impossible

They'll just have to use baby Ridley then.

Baby Ridley is so adorably evil. I want one :3

But I'm calling shenanigans on this rumour. Sakurai came out a few days ago saying that there is not going to be any annoucement any time soon, and he doesn't like all of the rumors and speculation going around.

I was actually thinking about some of my own ideas for the game and a Pushmo themed stage and Dillon as a playable character were both ideas I came up with as well!

I reckon a plane from Aero Porter should be a playable character

Why would they pick him? Everyone knows the Vector kicks Russian *ss. She's like the gun race equivalent to Samus!

I'd imagine that many of the Assist Trophies from Brawl would be 'promoted' to playable characters; I think guys like Little Mac, Waluigi (if he's allowed to be unique, and not a clone of Wario), Saki, and Drill Dozer (is that its name? I can't remember...) would be nice inclusions.

As for new characters, Takamaru would make sense, considering his game's left-field inclusion in Nintendo Land. Dillon would be great as a 3DS exclusive, and I'd love to see levels based on Wave Race, 1080 Snowboarding, X, and Steel Diver, too.

@WhiteKnight
Also a puddle of water from Hydroventure will be playable!
