It's been a long road for Smash Bros. The game has been a cornerstone of Nintendo Directs for over 2 years. All good things must come to end though, and next week we'll see the last video presentation. But with the announcement of Cloud as a new character Nintendo officially pulled off one of the great "everything you know is wrong" moments in the history of gaming. Even with the fan vote, most people were expecting to see characters we'd already seen before like the Ice Climbers, Wolf, or maybe Snake. But now... fuck who knows?

Shovel Knight was always a maybe, but now the idea of Meatboy isn't so crazy. With Minecraft going to the Wii U, I could see Master Chief showing up. Personally my money is now on Crash Bandicoot to show up. Solid gaming icon, he'd fit in like glove, and his current owners at Activision would likely play ball. Anyonee else have any thoughts or am I the last person who still likes Smash?

How about all of Rare's characters showing up? Joana, Banjo, Battletoad.....the fucking Jet Force Gemini crew. Yooka & Laylee could also show up from Playtonic to give the game some free marketing.

Sakurai has said no Inklings before, and we already have Mii Inkling costumes. I wouldn't be surprised to see a Splatoon stage though.

What's wrong with Joanna Dark? Smash needs more females.

Sure they can use more females, but I'd say Lara Croft, Bayonetta, or even Shantae or Chun Li getvthe slot well before Joanna Dark.

Joanna Dark is in one of the best FPS games ever made. You guys can blow a flock of goats.

It's a Barbie game? Well shit, no wonder I'm not familiar with it. Probably not my thing, but I'm happy you're open minded enough to try it out. Gender and age roles be damned!

Yes but Microsoft said they don't care if the Rare characters are in Smash they want them in.
