Good point about Heihachi, I'll give you that; I'd forgotten that Tekken 1-5 were PS-exclusive (duh, haha). I still think Lightning is very much PS3-associated though, and far more than a CoD soldier.

If any fighting game character had to be in this, it's Heihachi. He has been around since PS1 and the first 6 Tekken games were Playstation exclusives on consoles. Out of the current third party characters he deserves it the most. Though i wouldn't have minded if they put in Yoshimitsu instead, just because he has such a crazy fighting style.
As for who else needs to be in this game, look no further than my avatar. Kazuma Kiryu is probably the most deserving third party exclusive character that is still relevant today.

I understand your point, but I did think this through before posting it. Let's consider a few possible Supers for Snake:
Railgun from MGS4: Cool, plot-relevant, practical, uniq--oh wait; it's basically Radec's Level 2. Crap.
Metal Gear REX: Man, that'd be so awesome! It'd be like that one bit from Guns of the--dang, Emmett and Sweet Tooth already covered all of the mech bases.
CQC: Hey, wouldn't it be cool if he just punched and kicked people? Wait, what do you mean that's not what people want from Snake?
He simply doesn't use enough unique weapons to warrant a moveset. Emmett and Isaac work as DLC "gun characters" because their weapons are fantastical, whereas any of the ones that Snake could feasibly used are either covered by Drake and Radec or too boring to work well.
I've considered all of the angles before, and as much of an MGS fanboy as I am, I'd rather see them devote time and money getting more unique DLC characters.

I guess we all have our hated attack styles. I dont like swords n stuff. There is only so many ways you can slice with melee stuff. There are already 4 heavily sword based characters. With guns you atleast have better variety. Ratchets Pistol blasts, Radecs sniper, Emmetts cannon and even Isaacs guns work with much more variety.
Oh yeah company rival thing. Its still BS that only Snake reference is in character background info thingie. Could we atleast have classic MGS1-4 stage then?

Oh and for Snake there are plenty of ways to make him stand out. Make him Heavy version of Sly for one. Make him really powerful but maybe not so much combo. Also give him great array of stun attacks (but not stupidly easy kill confirms). Give him maybe invisibility so he can attack behind and stun enemies while gaining good AP. Heck give him ability to get AP like PaRappa and Toro. Snake injecting foxdie medicine for AP.
And pfffff Metal Gear would still be ok. There are only 2 mechs. There are 3 FPS supers and PLENTY of transformation supers. Not to mention 4 cutscene supers. Why would 3 mechs suck?
Hows these suggestions?

Or you could simply use snake's moveset from SSBB
just give us Old Snake with a drum can.. with Metal Gear Ray for level three..
Lawsuit waiting to happen lol. Plus, Kojima would be risking his close friendship with Sakurai.
How is it possible we didn't get anything related to Disgaea.

Western developers who like western games waaaaaaaaaaaayy too much. Hence Bioshock and Dead Space. Also new DmC i think. They got bare minimum in japanese character stuffs. Like 4 maybe if not counting Raiden. Also lol they all have cutscene supers, hahah. XP

That would be nice! I'd buy that.
But be prepared for;
Spike - with a bandana!
Evil Cole - with a hat!
Toro - with a bandana!
Big Daddy - with a top hat!
Dante - bald!
Heihachi - with a bandana!
Nariko - with a flower in her hair!
Raiden - with a mustache
Sir Daniel - with a bandana!

I don't think SuperBot had a choice between classic Dante and new Dante -- I'm pretty sure Capcom forced new Dante on them to tie in with DmC marketing and said "take it or leave it, your choice." SuperBot definitely knew most fans would have preferred the other Dante.

Heihachi, Spike, Parappa, Toro, Raiden, Kat and arguably Dante, that's 7. Not too bad, but there could be more, like Kazuma Kiryu.
Why wouldn't you count Raiden?
I'm still waiting for pizza slice Dante.
I didn't realize about most of the had cutscene supers.
Scarf Prinny would be such a fun character animated on 2d ofc, Nippon Ichi Software deserves some love in this game and now more with those 3 new exclusives.

Personally id say no then. Heck, its probably me but i wouldnt even like old Dante haha. Laharl would have been much better demon character 3rd party. IMO ofc.

This is true! If this was made in Japan you'd see a good share of Western characters and Japanese characters... or just all Japanese characters.

Oopsie doodle. I forgot Kat! Silly me.
Why not Raiden? Because i thought that japanese wouldnt like so much for Platinum games character. Sure he is from Metal Gear, but he is from Platinum Games newest game. I've heard that they arent that big sellers. I was sooooooo wrong after hearing MGRR's sales in Japan thou.

I don't know why I didn't think about this before, but yeah, Laharl (or Mao, but Laharl is more recognizable) would have been an awesome character to have in this game. Would've been really fun to play, with tons of personality. And I'm not even a Disgaea fan!

Internet high five!
His level 3 super would be singing Kamurocho Lullaby until everyone explodes from the awesomeness. Hmm, i just realized that's basically Parappa's level 3, but it would be too good not to use it.

While Yakuza is goodish PS-exclu (yet) 3rd party franchise i dunno about Kiryu. Someone convince me that like Drake developers would be able to give him unique supers. :U
As for costumes:
-Sweeth Tooth gets some from classic games.
-Radec would be some special troop unit.
-Coles could have more enemy costumes
-Ratchet and Clank would have classic armor. Or my idea, Tuxedo ratchet with Secret Agent Clank.
-Jak gets some Jak 2 armor.
-Big Daddy gets another diff subject look.
-Dante... looses pants. Underwear Dante incoming. Im calling it...
-Heihachi gets classic costume
-Raiden aswell sth classic
-Sir Dan gets sth from Medievil 2. I saw some of its costumes. Medievil 2 seems to have good ones.
-Spike gets anime or sth from games.
-I have no idea what Toro would get. Classic Japanese cloths maybe?

He would have his laugh as Taunt and I would spam the heck of it. Althou he could have cutscene lv 3 super.
:s
Worth it either way.
Heh, even I havent played true Disgaea game yet i want him lulz. I played Prinny games and those were good enough to show his greatness. Ofc Hero Prinny would be good aswell.
I'd love to see Kiryu, and he's definitely the closest thing Sega has to a PlayStation "all-star," but the Yakuza team seems a little too protective of their IP. They won't even let their characters be included in a Sega kart racer.

Ok, there seems to be quite good moves. Maybe sth else from other games aswell? Also is he mute ingame? That would make for great visual humor if he had to do gestures a lot with serious face.
I'd like Snake, they could be creative with the moveset if they wanted to. A Metal Gear Mk. II attack that is similar to Spike's controllable thing. Guns with varying effects like dizziness, traps, octocamo, etc. They could go in several directions with it if they were allowed to.
Still would've liked Lammy as DLC though, preferably with a chainsaw guitar move.

Lammy feels biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit too random. If she would be announced i would expect shittons of hatred. Althought realisticly she will never be added. Sequel maybe.
I agree, the "we need less (insert here)" arguement really untangles when you really think about the fighting archtypes you mentioned. Someone without a gun would have to be one of those other types. And people think we have to many swords also, so that leaves just fists and elements.
Well Zeus is both fists and elements, and Isaac has a plazma cutter (not technically a gun lmao) so i dont know what else needs to be covered instead of another gun.
Edit: didn't realize snake was the character in question, i can think of some really unique stuff that doesnt have to be something someone else already has.

She had her own game! It's a cult favorite!Actually it's mostly wishful thinking from me. I'd be happy if we got more DLC at all.

Radec should get
-Pyro Trooper (KZ2)
-Scout Sniper (KZ2)
-Miner (KZ2)
-Grenadier (KZ2) -
Shock Trooper (KZL) -
Rifleman (KZ2)
My favorites are the miner and the scout sniper, although the shock trooper is frigging awesome as well...

Flint from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs to promote the second mega-super-crazy-awesome sequel coming out, we could bring in the whole Sony pictures library. It'll be epic.

God, I don't know why anyone even plays ranked any more. I dipped into it for a bit just to get the "play a ranked match" trophy on Vita (I've already platinumed the PS3 version), and my first match was against three level 999 Drakes who all played the exact same way, and one of the losers ragequit at the end anyway.
It took me four more matches -- against various combos of only Drake, Kratos, Raiden, and Cole -- to be able to finish a match and get the trophy.
What the fuck. This game has the worst online "community" in recent memory, and the fact that the game was not designed to punish people like these idiots is absurd.

Alt costumes I would love
Spike
or
Ratchet
Cole
I think they announced a new costume pack.
Vampire Cole alt for Evil Cole would be my obvious guess for him.
There are "a bunch of costumes" coming on Tuesday according to the PS Blogcast.

Add Wand-freaking-er and Kazuma and I agree with bolded.
I mean, seriously, they dug out Isaac and Zeus but couldn't even reach into their own pockets-- I know, I know, this thread is so over the character whining, but it will never stop bothering me. It's not even Superbot, I feel that Sony just doesn't give a damn, and never did to put up the effort.
Costumes:
Visari (Radec)
Sully/Donut Drake (Drake)
Sackboy: Astronaut costume/Dragon costume
Sweet Tooth: Original one posted above

Guesses for Raiden's new alt: Mariachi outfit, Desperado PMC outfit, Grey Fox armour, MGS4 look. I think MGS4 is most likely but the poncho/sombrero is super fun and compliments this game a little more.

Hopefully Gray Fox. MGR was originally a gray fox story anyway
