They already have him in the Jump fighting games. Keep him there.
The thing is, idc what video game characters gets in, but something from another media? No. IMO it defeats the purpose of what smash so strongly honors and celebrates.
Besides, if he somehow gets in, and isn't the best character, I'm sure said fans will complain. (just see how the superman vs goku turned out)
Interesting, but I feel that overall it is impossible to accomplish that fully, because you can't really please everyone.
You see, even the community itself tears apart between casual and competitive players, but I feel that those 2 kind of people always tend to have someone to play with that also enjoy the way they play, so its not as much as it was in arcades, where it could be someone random you don't know. (excluding online, of course)
Besides, I feel that in this day and age, you will always find someone to play with, as the 2 online modes on smash for wii u showed (even though said modes still need more polishing) I think having a ranked matching system could somewhat alleviate this problem.
On his last statement, I agree partially. For smash on Wii U, I'm sick of playing on all the same 5 tournament "legal" stages. I feel that Sakurai addressed this correctly by enabling the hazards off button and having more "legal" stages.
As for Items, I guess players don't like it for the random/luck factor it produces, as well as some items being really good when you know how to abuse them, but I sometimes feel its true, as I recall Sakurai calling Smash being a party game, so I see his point by taking that away.
In the end, I think Sakurai has managed to keep that balance, as people can enjoy the series in different ways, and I don't see why people complain or make snarky comments at each other for playing and enjoying the game in the way they like it.
tl;dr see @patbacknitro18 reply. I think it's described perfectly.
I think the wording isn't being used correctly? From what I understood he just wants to avoid complex button inputs, not any advanced technique that might may the game more appealing to said competitive players.
I hope that you will be able to play as other characters in single player modes.
As far as I got, I wasn't able to play with other characters (there wasn't some training mode either. From what I understood only in multiplayer you could try other characters)
Rugrats Royal Ransom is a severely underrated game.
I remember playing it because it was the only game I had for a while and was surprised to find well thought levels that were expansive enough and fun to explore.
@GamingDude800 that's just your subjective opinion.
Controls take a time to get used to, just like the awful steering of MK8, the staggerness of DD, etc. but all games are enjoyable.
If it was as bad as people whine, this entry would have been universally panned when it released back then.
It's true it hasn't aged well, and other titles have general better controls for all people, but this is not as bad as people make out. (I hated it at first too, as this was the last mario kart game I played, since others were more accesible to get)
@onex There has always been a glitchless category for speed running where things like this are on a separate part (something like this is possible on the GB pokemon games and thye have separate leaderboards)
@noobish_hat only some of the early games like Kirby have battery backup. (and for some strange reason, some Metroid Zero Mission copies too)
Pretty much everything released after a year that the system was out doesn't use batteries.
Interesting, but the divine beasts themselves felt short too.
Based on this statement, would have been nice to have like 4 big dungeons the series is known for (with the divine beasts sort of unlocking the entrance to them)
But I'm sure this will improve overall. BotW was a first for the series, and I'm sure Nintendo will just keep polishing the games fro up here to truly deliver the best of both worlds.

Re: Mario + Rabbids On Nintendo Switch Has Sold More Than Two Million Copies
Nice figures. Still need to pick my copy.
Re: Rumour: Switch Firmware Update 6.0.0 Is Imminent, Dataminers Uncover The Details
All of my yes for cloud data saves.
It's about time.
Re: Nintendo Is Launching Brand New Starter Packs For Top Switch Games In North America
Wasn't the splatoon one already released? What's the difference between this new one? (no stickers?)
Re: Wasteland 2: Director’s Cut Secures A Post-Apocalyptic Switch Release This September
Can't play this on PC because my laptop sucks, so I'll be giving this a go!
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Special Edition Controller And Game Bundle Revealed
Like this one. I hope I'm able to get it, as I can use this from now own and leave the splatoon one for it's respective game only.
Re: The Switch's Home Menu Uses Less Than 200 KB Of Resources For Super-Fast Load Times
Nice. I hated how the Wii U and the 3DS sort of lag when you opened the home menu.
I think I just need the ability to create my own theme (just change the primary and secondary colors)
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night Won't Be Coming Out This Year After All
Honestly, I don't care at this point, as long as it gets released eventually.
Better have it delayed so they can have a good/enjoyable game, and not a YooKa Laylee/MN9 scenario.

Re: Cartoon Network Is Bringing A Double RPG Bundle To Switch Later This Year
Interesting. Attack the light was OK for a mobile game.
Never played Save the Light due to not having a platform to play it, so if the price is right, I'll guess I'll give it a go.
Re: Yooka-Laylee Joins The Battle In Brawlout On Nintendo Switch
The game is alright, but my biggest gripe is how annoying unlocking the clone characters are.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Will Be Playable At San Diego Comic-Con This Week
I hope that this build or another one will become downloadable in the future.
Would be cool, or something, kinda like the smash 3ds demo. (but not as restrictive or hard to get)
Re: Random: Splatoon 2 Player Hacks In-Game Leaderboard To Send Nintendo A Message
I'm surprised that Nintendo still hasn't learnt. I remember how MKWii died when hackers became plentiful...
I mean, if they can detect homebrew stuff on the 3ds and ban people, why not do it here?
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Isn't Concerned About Competitive Aspect Of Super Smash Bros.
I think the wording isn't being used correctly? From what I understood he just wants to avoid complex button inputs, not any advanced technique that might may the game more appealing to said competitive players.
Re: My Nintendo Rewards Is Offering A Printable Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion Box Art Cover
Now this is the kind of rewards I want, as silly as it may seem.
Re: Spin Like Crazy With The Official Crash Bandicoot Wired Controller For Switch
Insta buy since I couldn't find a xenoblade one.
Re: Guide: Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition - How To Unlock Zelda, Link, And All Other Characters
Seems like only Groose is missing :>
Re: Code Of Princess EX Launches On 31 July In The West
I hope that you will be able to play as other characters in single player modes.
As far as I got, I wasn't able to play with other characters (there wasn't some training mode either. From what I understood only in multiplayer you could try other characters)
Re: You'll Soon Be Able To Edit Your Mii Characters From The Comfort Of A Web Browser
Would be interesting if they finally make Miis super cusotmizable, with clothes and all of that.
Things like any hair color would be cool, etc.
Something along the lines of the xbox avatar where you could customize it quite nicely.
Re: Night Trap, The Infamous Mega CD Classic Is Switch Bound
How times have changed. I wonder what would Howard Lincoln say.
Re: THQ Nordic Is Reviving Its Nickelodeon Back Catalogue For Modern Systems
Rugrats Royal Ransom is a severely underrated game.
I remember playing it because it was the only game I had for a while and was surprised to find well thought levels that were expansive enough and fun to explore.
Re: Hyper Light Drifter Is Coming To The Switch This Summer
Awesome news! Always wanted to play this.
So, is Rivals of Aether coming too due to support for the Game Maker Engine?
Re: Mario Kart Super Circuit

Re: Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story Is Back On Nintendo 3DS With Added Content
Pretty cool in the end, but I think partners in time would have been better IMO.
Still, can't wait to replay this. So many fond memories.
Re: Video: A Speedrunner Has Completed Super Mario World In Under A Minute
@onex There has always been a glitchless category for speed running where things like this are on a separate part (something like this is possible on the GB pokemon games and thye have separate leaderboards)
Re: Video: A Speedrunner Has Completed Super Mario World In Under A Minute
Interesting. I always knew the game was so exploitable, but not tot his degree lol.
But reminds me when the TASBot programmed a snake game with button inputs during arbitrary code execution.
Also it's saddening seeing all this ignorant posts about speed running. I guess people just really like posting for the sake of posting :/
Re: Video: The 26 Best Game Boy Advance Games of All Time
@noobish_hat only some of the early games like Kirby have battery backup. (and for some strange reason, some Metroid Zero Mission copies too)
Pretty much everything released after a year that the system was out doesn't use batteries.
Re: Video: The 26 Best Game Boy Advance Games of All Time
Agreed. Metroid Zero Mission is my fave GBA game, along with Super Circuit.
I also like SMA4 better than the butchered SMAS port (though the voices are a bit annoying)
Amazing system overall. Can't get enough with my SP and Micro <3
Re: Rumour: Get That Pinch Of Salt Ready, Apparently Microsoft Is Preparing To Buy Electronic Arts
If they do, I hope they review & change EA's policies, and hoping that Microsoft won't be tainted by EA's practices.
Re: Miitomo Meets Its End On 9th May
Of course.
Re: Irem Arcade Classics Kid Niki, Youjuu-Den And Moon Patrol Heading To Switch
Would be interesting if irem brings Kid Nikki 3 (Also known from it's romhack, as super mario 14)
I really enjoyed that famicon platformer.
Re: Mario Tennis Aces Brings A GBA-Style Story Mode To Switch
Yes! Petey Piranha is finally back!
I wonder the story mode though.
Will you be Mario characters? Or original characters like in the GB(C/A) titles?
Re: Random: This Woman Loves Tetris So Much She's Going To Marry Her Copy
But the Tengen version is better :>
Re: Scratch That Metroidvania Itch As Quirky RPG Feudal Alloy Heads For Switch
Interesting, why I haven't heard of this before?
It's along the lines of this game idea I had for a while.
Love the art style!
Re: Feature: What We Expect From The Inevitable January 2018 Nintendo Direct
Interesting choices.
But IMO it doesn't matter much, as I'll still get the switch because there's already a lot of incentive to get one.
Re: Fans Have Created a 'Newer' Super Mario Bros. DS
@BigJoeCool It does.
You can play it on a real DS or 3DS. (And maybe on wii u by injecting the file into a DS VC)
Re: Fans Have Created a 'Newer' Super Mario Bros. DS
So it's finally finished?
Props to Skawo for making the unimaginable on NSMB DS.
Was fun following the progress of the mod.
Re: Random: You Can Now Play Ripened Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love in English
So its finally complete?
Nice! I now just hope that luminous arc 3 translation finishes someday...
Re: Super Mario Land 2 Gets a Fan-Made Colour Treatment
Amazing!
I guess it's time to play this game again!
Re: Here’s Why Traditional Dungeons Got Axed in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Interesting, but the divine beasts themselves felt short too.

But I'm sure this will improve overall. BotW was a first for the series, and I'm sure Nintendo will just keep polishing the games fro up here to truly deliver the best of both worlds.
Re: Site News: A Fond Farewell from Nintendo Life Editor, Thomas Whitehead
Can't believe you started on 2011! I registered here on early 2012 and I remember the first review I read was the OoT 3D review...
In any case, it was always nice reading your articles
Farewell and good luck on your next project!
Re: Pokémon Crystal Is Coming To 3DS Early Next Year
So I can finally SR for a shiny Celeby?
Re: Wasteland 2: Director's Cut Will Bring Post-Apocalyptic Turn-Based Strategy to Switch
This. This is what I wanted on a Nintendo console.
While I could play this on my PC (Albeit with poor performance), having this on a nintendo console is amazing.
Can't wait to own a switch.
Re: Nintendo Switch Reaches 10 Million Global Sales In Its First Nine Months
I hope I'm finally able to buy one online ;_;
Re: Review: River City: Rival Showdown (3DS)
Interesting. I've seen the games series mentioned for quite some time. Will give this a try then.
Re: Nintendo Switch Ends 2017 On A High With 2.5 Million Units Sold In Japan Alone
Can't believe that at this point is still hard to buy switch online.
I wan't to get one RN to play Xenoblade 2 :<
Re: Guide: Breathe Easy, You Can Disable Character Voices in Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Well, I guess it's nice to have the option to do this.
I'll have to experience it first to see if they annoy me in the end.
Re: The Mega Man X Series Is Getting Its Own Collection On Switch
As much as I like the first X games, I'll pass.
The X colleciton on Gamecube/PS2/Xbox should be enough.
Never liked X7 & X8.
Re: Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 & 2 Coming To Switch With amiibo Support
Awesome news. Finally I can play all the classic Mega Man games in 1 place.
Would be interesting to see a GB collection 👀
