User blog:Zony514/My Predictions on Newcomers for SSB4 Part 2

Welcome back to my prediction on newcomers for SSB4, which is now Part 2! In this blog, I will bring out my predictions regarding who'll join or not from other Nintendo franchises. Many of them has appeared as Assist Trophies, while others were mentioned through trophies, stickers, etc. And to remind you all, this game will also be mostly focused in Japan side too, which I'll bring out the Japan-only games as part of this list, which will help you learn about that game/character too. If you still don't know certain characters, try checking on Google including other Wikias for more information.

Just to warn you and those who might already understand, this is just my opinions, so please don't take things extremely serious if you have any objections or something that's unacceptable, and I will not allow any negative feedback such as insults towards certain characters or even myself.

WARNING:This is the LONG list, so please be aware if you can't catch up.

Okay, now let's begin...

Ray MK-III
A small robot who've first debuted in "Custom Robo" as for main protagonist's robot. Although there many Ray series throughout the story, this type is the newest version of the Ray series. Unlike Pokemon, this robot can be customized by equipping various weapons and parts to make itself a powerful fighter, and fight in Arenas to challenge other fighters.

This robot has appeared as a Assist Trophy in Brawl, which flew everywhere and shot blasters towards opponents. Five sequels were released in Japan, but its popularity never mentioned much in the foreign, so there may be possibility for Ray Mk-III not joining instead. But if joined, this robot can rearrange its size to the average, closely over Kirby. Can move fast and use powerful lasers and bombs, but weak durability due to it's size.

Entry Percentage:20%

Chibi Robo
Another small robot who've first debuted in "Chibi Robo!", mainly built for house cleaning purposes. As the Sandersons bought this small simple robot, it has activated to keep the family safe and make them happy. Although it's emotionless, it cares more on others than itself, mostly communicating with live toys and helping them solve problems.

It may be difficult to bring this character as a newcomer because not just only its popularity among viewers, but its size. Usually Chibi Robo is about 10 cm high, but since there's a 20 cm Kirby in the series, then resizing is possible. If chosen, it'll be a weak character with less power, speed, and durability. However, it'll use its plug and cleaning items as its weapon. Even though, it is difficult to think of its move set for SSB4, so possibilities are it'll be an Assist Trophy, which it'll pick up items as if its disposing them.

Entry Percentage:10%

Matthew
Main protagonist from "Golden Sun Dark Dawn", and a son of Isaac and Jenna from the previous series. He is also a Venus Adept, who can control earth elements and use it as his magical weapon.

As his father Isaac appeared as an Assist Trophy in Brawl, there may be possibilities for Matthew to join SSB4 as he takes over his father's role, due to it's timeline from his story. Although the game wasn't really popular during that time, fans still requested Golden Sun to join SSB4. If joined, he'll be a balance type fighter between Link and Marth, but uses powerful earth element magics as his special moves, such as Move Psynergy.

Entry Percentage:30%

Isa Jo
Main protagonist from "Sin & Punishment Successor of the Skies", and son of Saki Amamiya and Airan Jo from the previous series. Just like his father, he uses the Cannon Sword as his main weapon in action.

As his father Saki appeared as an Assist Trophy in Brawl, and had a most request on join Brawl during that time, there may be possibilities for Isa to join SSB4 as he takes over his father's role, due to it's timeline from his story. If joined, he may be a speedy character with stylish jump techniques, thus being a tricky character using both short and long range attacks from his Cannon Sword.

Entry Percentage:45%

Frøy
First debuted in "Zangeki no Reginleiv" as a main protagonist and a Norse god. When he learned that the Kyoshin Arm had invaded the human realm of Midgard, he pleaded with Odin to allow him and his sister to join the humans in battle.

Since this game was released only in Japan, it may be difficult for Frøy to join SSB4 due to his less popularity in the foreign. The reason for not having this game in the US, possibly related to adultery and blood/gore effect for being a Nintendo game. If joined, he'll be a heavy character due to his armory, but uses various weapons that gains huge damage toward his opponents. However, in my opinion, he may probably not make it to SSB4.

Entry Percentage:15%

Shulk
First debuted from "Xenoblade Chronicles" as a main protagonist, who wields the powerful Monado.

Although I really don't know much about Shulk, as I haven't played Xenoblade before, this game has known to be the most popular game in US than Japan, which is pretty odd. There are many foreign players requesting Shulk to join SSB4, but that'll be decided how the Japanese players affect since SSB4 will also be released in Japan too. If he's decided to join, he'll focus on using his sword attacks with various art skills, but possibly be a heavy character due to his sword he wields.

Entry Percentage:50%

Zael
First debuted from "Last Story" as a main protagonist and a leader of the mercenary band.

As same as Shulk, I don't know much about this character as I haven't played Last Story before. Also I really don't know if this game is popular as Xenoblade, so it really depend on its popularity among players. If joined, he'll probably be a balanced character but uses powerful attacks, which include Gathering and Spirit Attacks as part of his move sets. However, it really depend on his popularity if he's noticeable among players.

Entry Percentage:25%

Captain Rainbow
Okay...here is a question which everybody asks. Just who is Captain Rainbow? For those who have recognized him, or first time noticed, he is a main protagonist and super hero who first appeared in his own game "Captain Rainbow", after Brawl was released. Born in Mameruka (parody name of America) as "Nick", he was a famous super hero back then, but his popularity dropped down as new heroes arrived, as his TV shows were canceled at the same time. In order to get back in the game, he decided to travel to the legendary Mimin Island to grant his wish, but destined to become the one who will help other's wish to come true.

Since this game was released after Brawl, creators have given this game a surname of "Opposite Smash Bros.", which minor Nintendo characters appeared as guest characters, which included Birdo, Crazy Tracey, and even SSB4's newcomer Little Mac. This game was known as an "actioventure" game, which is both genres of action and adventure. Although this was only released in Japan due to ratings for mature contents, this game was popular among core fans due to its story lines and character details. In my opinion, I have played this game and really loved it since the story was comical but impressive, and learned many minor Nintendo characters since I haven't played their games before. In other words, don't get fooled by the box art; play the game and watch the story, then judge. Since this game is similar to Smash Bros. for having a crossover with minor Nintendo characters, many fans are wanting Captain Rainbow to join SSB4, but it depends how popular it is in the foreign. To explain, Nick can transform into Captain Rainbow and uses yo-yo as his main weapon, but weak against water which will break his transformation and can't swim. If he's joined, he could transform in both Nick and Captain Rainbow, like how Zelda and Shiek does. He'll be weak in his Nick form, but strong and fast in his hero form.

Entry Percentage:25%

Takamaru
First debuted in "Nazo no Murasame-Jo" (which means "Unknown of Murasame Castle"), which was only released in Famicon Disk/Japan. Takamaru is a main protagonist and works for the Edo Bakufu government as a special ninja, which is similar to today's FBI or CIA. Although he may look like a samurai, he's actually a ninja with mystical powers, but mostly uses his katana sword to fight against the evil alien Murasame and its evil 4 daimyos, who plans to conquer Edo, Japan. Although this game had no sequels, he has appeared in many crossover games, such as "Captain Rainbow" and Tecmo Koei's "Samurai Warriors 3".

Takamaru wasn't mentioned in many years after his first game release, but his popularity later recovered after appearing in "Captain Rainbow" and "Samurai Warriors 3" as a special guest character. However, since this games was only released in Japan, it's never mentioned outside of Japan at all, so his appearance in SSB4 may be difficult due to that point. But as Little Mac, who also appeared in "Captain Rainbow" alongside, did had his chances to join SSB4, so there may be hopes for Takamaru to join in as well. If joined, he'll use his powerful and fast katana sword and ninjutsu as his move sets, but may be a little slow due to his samurai outfit.

Entry Percentage:25%

Lip
If anybody have known about "Tetris Attack" or "Pokemon Puzzle League", then you should know that in Japan it was actually called "Panel de Pon", taking place where cute fairy girls fighting against the evil Sanatos, who plans to conquer the fairy world Popples. Lip is a main protagonist of this game, who is a flower fairy that can use magic to produce flowers, using her iconic wand "Lip Stick" as her magical weapon. In the later series, which is "Nintendo Puzzle Collection" that's also sold only in Japan, a new character "Frill" takes place, who is Lip's daughter. Just like Little Mac and Takamaru, she has also appeared in "Captain Rainbow" as a special guest character.

As much US hates cute girly stuffs (besides My Little Pony), Nintendo decided to remake this game into something else, where Yoshi and Pokemon takes place (Just like Kirby and Dr. Eggman took over Puyo Puyo back in the 90's). Due to that, nobody in the US knew what the original was before then. As you may know, the item "Lip Stick" that has appeared in every Smash Bros. was actually her weapon. She very popular in Japan (which is among men), but this also depends how is she noticeable in the US. If she's joined, the item may disappear as it'll be her main weapon, and dropping blocks at opponents as her magic attack, but rather be a weak character on physical abilities.

Entry Percentage:25%

Sukapon
While there were "Punch-Out!!" and "Urban Champion" as a fighting game, "Joy Mecha Fight" was another popular fighting in NES history. Sukapon is a main protagonist, and a comedy robot created by Dr. Little Emon and Dr. Ivan Walnuts. However, after Dr. Walnuts declared world domination by using other battle robots, Dr. Emon decided to modify Sukapon into a battle type robot.

This Mega Man-ish character was popular among core fans, which many people requested Sukapon to join Smash Bros. back in Melee. There were plannings he would become an item character, but later cancelled due to the copyright reasons, which explained that this game wasn't Nintendo licensed during that time. But after obtaining a permission from the creators, this game has successfully became a Nintendo franchise. Due to this, there may be possibilities that Sukapon will join SSB4. If joined, it'll probably shoot its arms and legs as its move sets, or customizing itself and use various weapons. Otherwise, it'll become an item, or an Assist Trophy.

Entry Percentage:50%

Prince Sabre
Although this character doesn't have his default name, he is a main protagonist from "For the Frog the Bell Tolls", a classical Game Boy game released only in Japan. After the neighbor kingdom was conquered and the princess became captive by the evil Geronian Armies, the prince and his rival must compete on a journey to save the princess that they love. However, after meeting with a witch who arrived for help, he drank a mysterious medicine which will turn him into a frog and snake, which is the only key to defeat the evil armies.

Although this game is a popular retro game even today, there were no sequels or remakes since then. And since this game was never released in the US, it may be difficult for the prince to join SSB4 due to popularity. If joined, he'll mainly use his sword as a weapon, but transform into two species as part as his strategies. A frog maybe slow but jumps higher, as a snake can move fast and use long-range attacks. However, in any form, there's no difference that he's weak in physical combats.

Entry Percentage:10%

DeMille
First debuted in "Tomato Adventure", a Game Boy Advance game only released in Japan. He is a main protagonist who simply HATES tomatoes, as he lives in a terrible Ketchupoo Kingdom, where only tomatoes exists. But after his girlfriend Pasaran has been kidnapped by the evil kingdom ruler, he goes on an adventure to save his girlfriend along with his sister and friends.

Although this game was released only in Japan, and had no sequels despite its ending, this game became very popular among players and a huge success which this game became an origin of Mario & Luigi series. Many fans have requested DeMille to join Smash Bros. back in Brawl, but failed due to the game wasn't released in the US. Eventually the game is too old today, so it may be difficult. However, if joined, he'll move fast as he's a rabbit, and uses his gimmicks as his main weapon.

Entry Percentage:20%

Hero/Heroine
It is difficult by it's name, but they're both from "Magical Starsign" as a main protagonist and student from Will-o-Wisp Academy on planet Kovomaka. In game, their gender can be chosen and named by player, which it doesn't make any effect in the actual story line. They both use Light and Dark element magics as their weapon. Their designs were drawn by Brownie Brown, who mostly made artworks on SquareEnix's classic but famous "Secret of Mana" series.

While "Magical Vacation" was never released in US, as "Magical Starsign" was a sequel to it, this game was known to be a popular RPG which had a similar touch of the SquareEnix's fantasy games, closely to "Secret of Mana" series. However, it may be difficult for them to join SSB4 due they're gender concept and namings. They may have a special "gender switch system", taking places with different move sets, which the male uses Dark magics, while female uses Light magics.

Entry Percentage:10%

Aisya
First debuted from "ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat" as a main protagonist and crown princess of Milinear. After her parents were killed 12 years ago, she was raised by Bullnequ. She was to be crowned the Queen of Milinear when she turned 17, but the ceremony was interrupted when the capital was attacked and burned by the Flame Snake. Although trusting and naive, she can be decisive.

Along with Shulk and Zael, I do not know this character as I haven't played the game before, so I simply don't know how popular this game is. However, as this game was never released in US, then there may be no possibilities for her to join SSB4.

Entry Percentage:10%

Raymond Bryce
First debuted from "Disaster Day of Crisis" as a main protagonist and a former US Marine and International Rescue Team member. After the terrible accident of his partner's death on a rescue mission, he has rejected himself from the team as he never forgiven his mistakes. However, after the rebellious terrorist organization SURGE kidnapped Lisa Hewitt and stole a nuclear weapon to declare revenge against the US government, Ray decides to help the FBI to save Lisa since he failed to save her brother.

As his game is full of chaotic actions and puzzles, his abilities somehow fits for being a newcomer for SSB4, as he has experiences on destroying countless amounts of cars and objects. If he's joined, he'll be a powerhouse character which he'll use powerful close combat moves, and use explosives as part of his move sets. Since there are possibilities that Snake will be rejected, Ray could be a better replacement, although I doubt for any characters with complicated moves.

Entry Percentage:15%

Dillon
First debuted in Nintendo 3DS's downloadable game "Dillon's Rolling Western" as a main protagonist, and a ranger who protects the Western town from the Grock monsters.

Unlike any other games I have introduced further on, this game is the only game that is a downloadable game for Nintendo 3DS, and I'm not quite sure if Sakurai will allow any characters from a downloadable games. However, since there are two series released, this'll mean that this game is popular, since this is Nintendo's first Action Tower Defense game. If joined, he'll be using his rolling tackle as part of his move set, rather than using revolvers or any firearms. He may be tougher on durability as he's an armadillo.

Entry Percentage:25%

Fossil Fighters
After Brawl was released, the first game of "Fossil Fighters" has been released. Similar to Pokemon, a player must use a fossil revived dinosaurs called the Vivosaurs, and battle against other fossil fighters to become a Fossil Master. Unlike Pokemons which they'll appear in the wilds, the Vivosaurs can be found as fossils buried in ground, which players must dig it up, cleaning it by using drills and hammers, and revive them. People say its a Pokemon rip-off, but do understand that the Triple and Rotation battle was first found by this game before "Pokemon Black & White".

Although this game have some similarities with Pokemon, this game has become a popular game among children and many dinosaur fans. This game became a success which resulted on releasing sequels, which the newest one will be released this month February 2014. Due to this success, there may be possibilities that the Fossil Fighter protagonist will join SSB4. If joined, the protagonist may stand in the background and call out 3 types of Vivosaurs, from small, medium, and large types. In other words, this character may be a replacement of Pokemon Trainer, if Sakurai have already decided.

Entry Percentage:25%

Mii
First appeared in Wii's "Mii Channel" as player's avatar character, then returned to 3DS and Wii U's "Mii Maker" with additional facial parts. Nintendo also created many games that Mii can be playable, such as their main franchise like "Wii Sports" and "Nintendo Land", or joining along with Nintendo characters like "Mario Kart" series and "Animal Crossing" series. Also Japan created a game similar to Animal Crossing called "Tomodachi Collection", which players can bring Mii characters to communicate each other, play mini games, or even marry and have children. Miis can be edited into many various faces, which not just only creating your copy, but creating other characters similar to celebrities or fictional characters.

People strongly requesting for Mii to join SSB4, but I hardly disagree since there will be problems if Mii was joined. Not just creating yourself to fight against Smash Bros. characters as a positive meaning, but also creates characters that you HATE the most and defeating them many times as treating them as sandbags or voodoo dolls, which gives out negative feedback from victimized players (as reminder, children are involved playing too). Plus Sakurai has already stated that he will NOT bring Miis to SSB4 as playable characters to avoid problems, unless he'll use Mii icons for Friend data instead. If they'll just only as a background character, then that may be okay. Other than that, I recommend not to have hopes on Miis.

Entry Percentage:5%

Well, that's it for my prediction on newcomers for SSB4! Although there may be more than this, I do think Sakurai will focus on the lists I made since they have major roles in their games. As to understand, Sakurai may tease us for many reasons, but to be sure, he won't focus only on the characters that's popular among fans, as he will choose characters which had major and important roles throughout their games, and also in other medias as part of their experiences. I don't know who'll appear further on and how I'm right or wrong, but no matter what it is and who'll appear, we'll just have to look forward for that day to come. But try not to expect anything as possible, because there will be times that expectations will betray.

Thanks for reading, and have a nice day!
