    In the most recent patch of Smash 4 (Version 1.1.1) placeholders were found for 3 new characters. Now, they used placeholder text so we don't know who they are, but we do know that these placeholders weren't there before. This means we'll be seeing 3 new DLC characters added to Smash 4 soon! (probably)

    What characters do think they are?
    When do you think they'll be added? All at once or one at a time?
    Are you ready to toss more money at Nintendo?

    You do realise that those placeholders are most likely a result of the character popularity poll as posted on the Smash Bros website, correct?
    More likely than not, those 3 characters are the winners of that poll. And now we play the waiting game.

    I hope at least one of them is non-human. I like non-human characters more.

    I'm calling in wolf for sure, either shantae or shovel knight, and Isaac.

    I'd love to see squirtle or ivysaur back, and really hope shantae makes it in.

    I'm going to be honest, I really want Young Link to make a return, with a moveset centered around Majora's Mask. His final smash would be so obvious, just make him turn into Fierce Deity Link.

    To be honest, I want to see at least one SEGA character in the game. That way sonic won't be in there alone since he's the only playable SEGA character.

    I'm REALLY hoping for another Pokémon character, I don't mind who it is. I also want Viridi to be in there, but making the Mii costume of her does make me think they won't put her there. Sadness. Other than that, any Kid Icarus character would do. I don't really want Shovel Knight to be in there for some reason. I don't know why, but I can't say that. I can't judge him. Maybe he's just as nice as Link.

    In contrary, I'm really excited to find out who those three fighters are!

    I know it's never going to happen, but I keep hoping that Sketch Turner from the old Sega game Comix Zone will end up in Smash. I voted for him in the poll and tried to get others to do so, but Comix Zone simply isn't that well-known of a game. I doubt I'll ever see Sketch in a new game again, which really saddens me. He's perfect for smash, seeing as how his game is a side-scrolling beat-em-up. He even already has the equivalent of a final smash.

    Whatever these three new characters are, they better be good. I'll be upset if one of the characters is something really dumb.

    Something new and creative please. I want sometime with a new mechanic. No shovel knight, no tails, no of that.

    Ok, so i'm excited to see what Sakura has in store for us. So right off the bat I predict that there will be 2 brand new characters, and an old veteran that comes back. Reason i say this is how they did it with Roy. The difference with that was that only Ryu was the newest character to the franchise and game. So again it's not too off to say that an old character will pop up.

    Now to reply to some stuff people posted here.
    I'm confused at what you want here. Something "new" and something "Creative." Shovel knight would technically be "new" as well as "Creative". I agree that tails isn't really creative, but it still is considered new. When you say new, please be specific on what you mean by that cause i'm not sure if I follow what you mean on that.


    I think for awhile Pokémon will be just fine. Right now Pokémon in smash bros is plenty (You can have a full team of 6 with the smash roster) And Pokémon is getting Pokken fighter soon, so in some cases I don't think we will be seeing much of Pokémon in smash for awhile, maybe a stage but not another character.



    Lunar you have a good point here, the reason your idea can go through is because right now Capcom has two characters in smash bros. Ryu and MegaMan. So in no way can we cross out the possibility of more 3rd party characters like them.


    Young link would just be too close to normal link and toon link. In some cases I doubt they can make young link different at all. Now what would work is if they added another zelda character, but young Link just isn't a good candidate due to the fact we already have two links. Also his final smash wouldn't do any good for it considering that the fierce deity link is literally a costume for normal link already. Again, I think link is just fine, I feel another zelda character should gain some spotlight instead.


    Wolf totally has a good chance to come back, it shouldn't have been removed in the first place. Also which Isaac are we talking about here?

    @[member="Nate"] I really want to know what you think the 3 slots are, and your thoughts on any characters you may want.

    @[member="sohrob101"] We be talking of the former assist trophy Isaac from the Golden Sun series. Lots of speculation that since he doesn't have an assist trophy anymore he'll be coming as DLC

    Alright, since you asked I guess I'll mention who I've been speculating. The reason I didn't is because I'm pretty undecided myself.

    But, I do think one of them is Wolf. A new Star Fox game is coming out and it only makes sense to me. I would be really happy with this because Wolf is my favorite of the "Fow clone" trio that was in Brawl.
    I also think Isaac from Golden Sun has a good chance. He did have 3 games that sold pretty well (they actually sold the best in the US) and he's no longer and assist trophy. Most of the other assist trophies came back and Isaac is pretty unique even if he's a swordsman like many other characters. He has a lot of Earth elemental attacks with is very different from anything we have now.
    I'm pretty stuck after that though. I know a lot of people want an indie game character but I'm not so sure if Nintendo wants to go there. Sakurai has stated that 3rd party characters have to be pretty important and big for them to get in. So, for instance, a character like Ulala from Channel 5 has little to no chance of making it in the game. Sonic and Pac-Man are huge gaming icons right up there with Mario. Mega Man isn't far behind them, and may as well be a Nintendo character seeing how most of his main games were on Nintendo consoles. Ryu is the largest fighting game icon so it makes sense for him to be there too. I;m just not sure if indie games characters fit the bill of what Sakurai days him and the team are willing to add.
    As for what other Nintendo characters I think could get in, I would love another Xenoblade character. Melia is the best choice if we want a unique character, not a sword-esque fighter like Fiora or Dunban would be.
    Give me more fire emblem characters please.

    For my more out there picks that I don't think will get in but I want them to, I have Phoenix Wright because I love that series and Phoenix's games are all on Nintendo systems exclusively. I would love Neku from The World Ends With You because that game is great. But these are stretching it a lot and I seriously doubt they'll ever get in Smash.

    Well, that's my rambling.

    hope is was meme enough for you

    Yeah that was a bit vague sorry. What I ment was movesets. With shovel knight I don't see any unique things you could do with that. He sends his shovel like one of the many sword wielding characters. I don't want to see more clones; like Lucina and Marth, or Captain Falcon and Ganondorf

    I honestly think one is King K Rool. I got my hopes up when that Mii costume came out. I have a feeling that Sakurai wouldn't troll fans of him like that. Well then again...

    Clearly it's Isaac, Megaman Zero, and Ice Climbers. Clearly. I mean those are who I voted for, so they make the most sense!

    At the risk of my contributing to this being a remake of the voting discussion thread, I'll just say that these new characters are quite likely voted-in fighters. The poll has been around long enough that even before its conclusion they got some good, crowd-pleasing ideas of who to include.

    But really, it's those three I mentioned.

    Not sure who they're adding, but I'm excited either way! Really the only one I would be disappointed about not coming in would be Zant from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I'd absolutely love to see him as a playable character, they could do some really interesting things with him.

    Of course I'm gonna say providence here but we all know that won't happen due to how vague that'd be haha

    Another character I'd like to see is Rundas from Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. I absolutely love the character, so to see him as a playable character would make me really happy.

    I've heard that Nintendo stated that the fighters that will come to Smash aren't only the winners of the poll. The poll was created so that the game developers could get an understanding of what the people wanted.
