That conversation's in cryogenic sleep until DLC.
The 2015 design doc plans out all non-echo fighters. They were in the wrong time and place to be considered then.
But they're near-locks for DLC.

"Ridley literally can't be playable in Smash!"
In just a few short months this shale be the norm. For now it is still a little surreal.

I'll drag out some posts on why the design document matters from an earlier thread in case you'll want to read them.

It's all subjective after all. No harm in anything. Hell for me personally, it's not even anything specific to Elma. I find a lot of character varying degrees of "meh", but that doesn't mean I won't end up liking them if they were to be in Smash. Like I was meh on Marth back when he first debuted in Smash but he's currently one of my favorite characters.
I could certainly end up liking her if she makes it in and is fun to play.
Pyra wont get it on her own that's for sure. So you can give up that idea. Rex will be the playable character
In all of this Direct hype, I completely forgot that today is music day. I'm still waiting for a new Mother remix, but I hope today ends up giving us a duplicate franchise (so that we can lay the music "theory" to rest), though if Skull Kid is revealed in the Direct we might have to wait a week for that.
I think people will warm up to her and even really like her more once she's hopefully announced. Once they see her in action they'll be on board!
The timing just isn't right with Xenoblade Chronicles 2 still being in development at the time. I think they're absolutely guaranteed as DLC though. I don't think anyone expected them to be as popular as they turned out to be.
I know we aren't expecting a new XB rep for the next direct, but part of me wants it to happen so that we can divert attention towards other things. Not to say that it isn't worthwhile, but at this point, it does feel like we are at a stalemate of where else we can take the conversation.
I just hope we get some OSTs from both X and XBC2 so that we get a bit of everything. ^__^

Maybe they'll forget they didn't air the Direct, and we'll get Apple Scramble from Kirby Battle Royale as today's music because it was supposed to go with the newcomer on Friday.
this will be what people cling to when the music is revealed to be a xenoblade remix
For some reason I want music from a series not represented yet and it just be a music icon. Knock out another series from the discussion.
Give us Golden Sun or Rhythm Heaven or Battle Clash.
What if Pyra's outfit gets in but there's no person inside of them? It's just clothes that fight.

OK, spoilers here but for everyone who either already played Xenoblade or doesn't care about spoilers this is worth it.I also don't know how familiar you are with Xenoblade lore, but this:
should be impossible! But with Kirby, nothing is impossible!
Be honest with yourself. You are probably in the uppermost percentile of people who care about VA drama if you are even aware of the matter at hand, and yet the chance you would boycott SSBU over a voice credit for Adam Baldwin is zero.
(And yes, I'm still bitter over the people who latched onto that nonsense as an excuse to sink an already struggling, criminally underrated game.)
I'd love to see any acknowledgment at all of Code Name: STEAM—music would be grand, though I don't expect much more than trophies—but even setting aside the minuscule profile of the title, its cast has always had a hurdle of distinctiveness to overcome as caricatures of public-domain icons from elsewhere instead of true Nintendo originals. I did find it interesting that the art style from that game made an unexpected but fitting return in the FE Heroes artwork for Arthur from Fates (Conquest).

1. Nintendo would almost certainly recast the role anyway since Smash is a non-union production.
2. Nintendo did everything in their power to prevent word of Baldwin's casting from becoming public until preview NDAs started expiring.
Even if the character were in Smash and union contracts weren't an issue, there's zero chance in hell that NOA would have any desire to work with him again under any circumstance.
There's a few union actors in Smash, although it's generally for characters with really good reasons for it, like Snake and Pit. Recasting them would be awkward.
It's also kind of weird because he's there with final bosses like Gigyas and Nightmare. Little Mac's ultimate villains should be Super Macho Man and Mr. Sandman.
Or, well, you know. But maybe not that one.
Ali Hillis specifically didn't voice Palutena in Smash due to it being a non-union production, and she's on the same tier of importance as Pit, if such a thing is measurable. She would have loved to do so, but that was the blocking issue right there.
Speaking of this if we get Ken/Dante Reuben Langdon is a union actor.
Well with the new Final Smash, he does make a better rival to Little Mac.
Anthony Del Rio wasn't credited in Smash Wii U/3DS, so I'd expect similar treatment for David Hayter. You also have unionized VAs like Roger Craig Smith & Laura Bailey who just have recycled dialogue from previous games.
Elma slides into battle!
Trying to find Metal Face in here...
In the case of Reuben Langdon, he was under a fake name for the DMC anime, so I'd imagine that he'll either do that or go uncredited as Ken or Dante (if either of them get in). Either that or he'll go uncredited.
The fact that Capcom, who's usually risk-averse, spends more money on voice acting than Nintendo is kinda funny when you think about it.
Doesn't letting union actors in if they agree to go uncredited basically undermine the entire thing
Neither does Sakurai. Which is impressive attention to detail on the part of the artist.
Nintendo's VA situations have always been case by case. Some are union, some aren't. And Smash is just an unusual production in general from the standpoint of voice audio usage.
Falcon will always be the manliest. He's also the most stylish. Funniest to boot too. Off-screening Chrom and nearly keeping Lucina out by partying swords with his arms is prime Falcon material
This is all moot and academic anyway because of the first point, yes (and because it's not like CN:S will get a rep or even an Assist). As for the second, while NoA certainly realized they could no longer boast about the game's all-star cast of sci-fi TV alumni as they clearly hoped to do, for reasons they couldn't have foreseen when the contracts were signed, I don't remember the casting being actively suppressed. I followed the game closely and nobody paid any attention to the cast (including Wil Wheaton or Michael Dorn) until the demo was in the wild, partly as there was little attention to the title to begin with. As I recall, this all truly blew up when it attracted the notice of people who were watching Baldwin but not the game, when he promoted his own involvement in it on the eve of release, although the demo had been out for weeks and his involvement was already a matter of public record.
Obviously there is a strong disincentive now to attract negative publicity with Baldwin's name, and I see he hasn't had any recent voice credits in games, but I think we're mostly resting on our own assumptions here when we surmise he'll never be asked to reprise a role. We don't know that his working relationship with Nintendo was ever anything but professional, so blacklisting him is purely a question of media blowback, if an important one. It's a tough spot for Nintendo to be in, though I don't particularly care if he comes back or not (VAs for long-running characters change all the time; big deal), so long as the IP gets another chance in some form.
Captain Falcon drives a car. Ryu walks into multiple universes barefoot to fight people unarmed. Don't @ me.
I love that Master and Crazy Hand kind of look like Andross' hands. :D
Captain Falcon went to Hell in order to kick Satan's ass in a race, and then he even humiliated GOD in a F-Zero race. And then going back to normal life like nothing happened, chilling like a villain.
That's so good omg. Even if a tenth of those are in I'd be so happy.
Uh, Baldwin did recently land another voice role.
For a game being made by the GG-sympathetic Stardock.
I do agree that it would be great if CNS could get another chance on the Switch. But even if it is revived, no one will be sad if he's gone. I used to follow a Treehouse staffer on Twitter (who has since deleted all of his tweets and whose account is effectively abandoned) who was really pumped for CNS, and while he never said anything specifically about Baldwin's idiocy, his enthusiasm noticeably dimmed. It was clear Baldwin took the wind out of his personal excitement, and for obvious reasons.
Fever dream
I saw a karaoke mode for smash. King K Rool was singing Id do anything for love but I wouldn't do that.

Captain Falcon drives a car, Ryu is a professional martial artist, and yet Falcon punches harder than Ryu. What does that say about each?
