WHERE DID THIS COME FROM?! :O
I'm Sakurai's cat and he just had this lying around.

I like it, I would just remove Shulk and Impa.
Also would add Waluigi somewhere, instead of Takamaru?
I call them Wonderful Ones because I'm not sure how they would be implemented. I doubt it would actually be all 100/101 Wonderful Ones (there's another problem; would they be called "The Wonderful 100" or "The Wonderful 101?"), probably just the main Wonderful Ones (Wonder-Red, Wonder-Blue, Wonder-Green, Wonder-Pink, Wonder-Yellow, Wonder-White, and Wonder-Black) or less. It could even be Wonder-Red by himself, who is a Wonderful One. So I figure "Wonderful Ones" is the safer term for now.I like it, I would just remove Shulk and Impa. Oh and call the Wonderful 101 Wonderful 101.

Well it's free to take.
What the blazes is Google?Who the fuck is Takamaru?
Who the fuck is Takamaru?
A samurai that was the protagonist of a NES game that only got released in Japan. He had his own minigame in Nintendoland and was playable in Samurai Warriors 3 both of which have been pretty recent which is why people think he may be a revivedcharacter from the past.Who the fuck is Takamaru?

Takamaru would easily make for the most obscure character in the series should he appear. Not saying he wouldn't happen considering we got Marth and Roy in Melee, but he IS pretty unknown so I guess he'd perhaps be kept as a secret character should he be in the game at all.

I honestly wouldn't call either of those most obscure Nintendo character.
Take for example the mascot of the GameBoy Camera:
Or there was that bloke from the Virtual Boy game Teleroboxer, that appeared in that GFAQs rumour, that nobody in this thread had heard of.

That was more of a remark towards Azure J's postWas talking about just characters playable in Smash should he appear, not overall in Nintendo's history or anything.
given their standing as two of the most obscure characters on either side of the pond from the Nintendo Vault.
I know you asked Tyeforce, but I figured I might be able to help.
Like this?
EDIT: BGBW's got it taken care of.
Quick job:
Played brawl? Nintendoland?Who the fuck is Takamaru?
I wonder if Takamaru would just look like the original art or if they would update his appearance.

Well this is his appearance in Samurai Warriors 3 which was in 2009/10I wonder if Takamaru would just look like the original art or if they would update his appearance.
Star of Mystery at Murasame Castle/Nazo no Murasame-jo. It's one of Miyamoto's earliest babies that didn't gain traction but has a fuckload of fan support from the east and recently the west. This is because of Sakurai's previous desire to get him into a Smash game and Kamiya namedropping him as a character (and franchise) he'd love to do something with. It's also called a "sister" game to The Legend of Zelda for playing with a lot of similar game design that would influence LoZ later on.
TL;DR: He's the "new old" hype. And a samurai.
Edit: It's funny, I didn't really care much for Shiek but all these mentions of Impa have me so interested in the idea of her being playable. I blame her bitchin' hairdo/outfit in Skyward Sword. :lol
Played brawl? Nintendoland?
If they did, I hope they'd take more inspiration from the Captain Rainbow look than anything else. I like the "toonish" or more animation inspired look he has going on in that combined with the little bits of promo/box art Ryce posted above way more than the overly real look he got for Samurai Warriors 3.
Well this is his appearance in Samurai Warriors 3 which was in 2009/10
Its not bad although I dont like how baggy his pants are.
Ice Climbers? ROB? Mr Game & Watch?
You should use the corrected version Ryce made:
(shadow over wand)
EDIT:
Or is you prefer no overlap at all.
Those characters all had international appearances despite being decades old, Takamaru is similar except that he had far less exposure due to being from a Japan only NES game.
I never played the game, but I imagine they would be tiny people with special moves based on four of the unite morphs:I call them Wonderful Ones because I'm not sure how they would be implemented. I doubt it would actually be all 100/101 Wonderful Ones (there's another problem; would they be called "The Wonderful 100" or "The Wonderful 101?"), probably just the main Wonderful Ones (Wonder-Red, Wonder-Blue, Wonder-Green, Wonder-Pink, Wonder-Yellow, Wonder-White, and Wonder-Black) or less. It could even be Wonder-Red by himself, who is a Wonderful One. So I figure "Wonderful Ones" is the safer term for now.
I think this would make them way more visually interesting than having a few of them alone. Final smash would have all 100 (101?) of them appear.
His list didn't have Mike Jones, otherwise both Waluigi and Takamaru can stay.
Are you talking about this quote?
I think that could be interpreted in a number of ways. I would say that characters like Little Mac and Pac-Man could kind of be considered "retro" in a way, too, despite appearing in new games.
Well you need to get on that!I never played the game, but I imagine they would be tiny people with special moves based on four of the unite morphs:

I will when I eventually get a Wii U. No clue when is that gonna be.Well you need to get on that!
Im not trying to convert anyone, but objectively, Takamaru is a sensible retro character addition.
In 1986, Nintendo released four major titles for the new Famicom Disk System peripheral: The Legend of Zelda, The Mysterious Murasame Castle, Metroid, and Kid Icarus. The Nintendo EAD departments main title was The Legend of Zelda, and Nintendo R&D1s main project was Metroid. Murasame Castle was built using the Zelda engine, and Kid Icarus was based off of the Metroid engine.
Just looking at Murasame Castle next to Zelda, the similarities are immediately apparent.
The game was also scored by Koji Kondo, who did the music for The Legend of Zelda.
Nintendo of America figured Westerners wouldnt be interested in a game based on feudal Japan so it never saw release outside of Japan. Had it been localized in 1986, theres no doubt in my mind that the game would be regarded as a classic and that a ton of people would want Takamaru in Smash Bros.
People who arent familiar with the game deride Takamaru for being just another swordsman, but that isnt the case. Not only are there no samurai-style characters in Smash Bros., but Takamaru uses shuriken, he throws fireballs, he can turn invisible, and he can even summon lightning.
Also, a fun fact: The Mysterious Murasame Castle was adapted into a live action TV drama in 1986.
I think Takamaru would be the safest and blandest retro rep that they could go with.

I'm hoping the go for something different, like Duck Hunt Dog or Sheriff.
If we get a retro character (I don't consider Little Mac to be one) then Takamaru is probably the most likely candidate.

That was Pit last time, and he got in.

I think duck hunt dog would be a silly and boring character that wouldn't be used much just more of a novelty, imo. Sheriff might be interesting but I think character wise Takamaru is a very diverse and interesting character who would also be fun to play as which would be the most important in choosing a character.I think Takamaru would be the safest and blandest retro rep that they could go with.
