Topic: Let's get Castlevania some love in the next Smash

[Profbeanburrito]

Sonic and Snake were great additions to brawl, but I really don't want to see them go overboard with 3rd party characters in the next one, with namco bandai doing it I'm already a little worried we'll be getting too many of their characters. Honestly all I want to see from namco Bandai is Pac Man, that's it. And as much as I love Castlevania, I don want o see any cv characters in a Smash game. I only want more Nintendo characters. Give me Ridley, king K Rool and eggplant wizard.

Simon and megaman are the two most wanted characters, lets not forget simon was also in tv fighters dream mix, so his basic moves are already there if they wanted to reuse that, heck most of snakes moves in brawl are from that game

I'd like to see some old Namco guys in there. Valkyrie and Rick from Splatterhouse, for example. (The latter is likely impossible considering the target audience.) Just not all Tekken characters please.

I always thought they should just have character named Belmont and each alt costume is a different Belmont.

That is a GREAT idea!

It's actually quite possible. Nemesis is from a Rated M game (being Resident Evil 3: Nemesis), but he (and his disgusting final form) made it into Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 without messing up the rating.

It's entirely possible to put in Rick. It all just depends on how they develop his moveset (though if he did make it in, his original appearance would be the one put into the game, seeing as how Super Smash Bros. tends to cater towards nostalgia, not that that's a bad thing).

Genius.  Nintendo should do this.

Thirding Guy's idea.

[Chernabogue]

This idea is cool, and seeing the number of alternate costumes, we could totally got almost every Belmont member.

Well now you've done it; you've inspired me to make an account here and put my ¢2!

Considering Simon was CV's representative in those Wai wai world games, I'd say Simon has a shot at being in a smash bros title. Let's not forget that Konami HAS sprinkled him throughout the series. We got him in both HoD games--and in all his 8-bit glory I might add. As others have mentioned, Simon was in some other "smash" type of game, as well as Judgement. He was also in a sequel and some remakes earlier in his "career". And, considering he's in MoF (if I'm understanding correctly), he's never been far from Konami's mind.

And, as much as Smash bros. just LOVES to include virtually-clones of characters (I'm looking at you Dr. Mario, Toon Link, Ness/Lucas, and Marth/Roy), we have a shot of getting at least ONE Belmont (and I'll third, or fourth, or whatever it's up to) or a generic Belmont character with skins designating popular ones like Simon, Trevor, and Richter. Hell, they gave us fragging (pardon the Shadowrun parlance) Mr. Game and Watch, and animated him in such a style as to be an homage to his hand-held roots so we might get even get an 8-bit Simon. It certainly wouldn't be the first (or second) time 8-bit Simon has showed up.
