Hi guys, it's me again. After E3 happened, some of you *COUGH*alphared*COUGH* kind of got mad about what happened with Smash. If you don't know what happened, I'll give you a quick rundown.

*clears throat*

    Smash Bros.
    Namco Developing
    Klonoa at top of wanted list
    E3 2013
    Gematsu Leak
    Pac-man on gematasu leak
    Came here
    Showed off Geninja trailer hint
    E3 2014
    Pac-Man and Mii are confirmed, thus confirming the Gematsu leak


So, a lot of people are closing their books on wanting Klonoa in Smash Bros., but I have come up with a theory that has a .001 percent chance of being true (hence the name.)

So, what is this theory you ask?

I'm going to say it right now, Klonoa will be a playable character in Smash bros. for 3DS and Wii U, but he will be the last character you unlock.

First off, even though Pac-Man is the game (which I'm actually happy with), there is still that subtle outline in the geninja trailer.

Funny thing, by now, I'm not the only guy who has found this outline.

Another thing I would like to throw out is that the factor that Klonoa has a bit in common with Masahiro Sakurai's very own Kirby. Klonoa is basically Namco's Kirby is a way, their games are considered easy be some people, they have similar Japanese titles, they center around Dreams in a way, they are both puzzle platformers, etc. To have someone bear a lot of similar things with someone made my Sakurai, the creator of Super Smash Bros. says a little bit.

My next point supporting this theory, is that while some of you in the comments are going to say "Luigi, Marth and Lucario are unlockables! they were in brawl as such!"
Actually, now that I think about it, maybe Lucario, Marth and MABYE Luigi are all available right out of the box! And another thing, anybody remember at the end of Pac-Man's trailer where Mr. Game and Watch appeared, and after the roundtable, he didn't appear on the website? Why is that? Simple. He is an unlockable character. And why hasn't Sakurai reveled Ness, Captain Falcon, Jigglypuff, Falco, Ganondorf, etc.? Because they are unlockable characters.

This brings us to Klonoa, because of the Geninja hint, and the possibility that Sakurai possibly knows of his existence. This leads me to my final point, but before we get to that, I have to address 2 things people have been throwing at me.

1) Klonoa is an assist trophy/trophy.
Okay, this is an easy one. I say, would Sakurai REALLY make a subtle hint to something as little as assist trophy? Think about THAT for 5 minutes.

2) They Reveil the big third party characters at E3/Pac-man stole Klonoa's slot!
That's a good point. Here's my take on it, They reviled Pac-man at E3 because he's the more iconic character. Sakurai has pointed out more than once that seeing Pac-man, Mario, Mega Man and Sonic in the same game is a true miracle, and I don't blame him. If Klonoa got reviled instead, 4Cha-I MEAN the Internet would have a huge temper tantrum on how a "furry" character got in over Pac-Man, just look what happened when Ashley got announced to be an assist trophy, and don't get me started on Lucario's re-announcement. That just adds to the secret character theory.

3) There's not going to be a 2nd Namco characters.
That's a tricky one. The only thing I have to debunk that statement is the .001 possibility that Namco gets a 2nd rep because of the co-development thing.

Here's my final point, we know what Little Mac from Punch-out!! is going to be a playable character in the game. Why do I bring this up? Each newcomer has a tagline for them in each of their traliers. Mega man had "joins the battle", Palutana had "alights", Villager had "comes to town." But little Mac's was "Punches in." Some people thought it was going to be "enters the ring." But why didn't they use "enters the ring?" THEY ARE SAVING IT FOR KLONOA.

For now, I'm going to enjoy my summer while I wait for the 3DS version comes out. We will know the entire roster by September 13th. Like I said more than once, the probability of this theory coming true is .001%.

P.S. I meant to post this in a new thread because this one was pretty much done at the time, but Aura told me to move it here.

Discuss in the comments.

I don't believe in holding on to hope over less than 60% chances but I would be lieing if I said I won't be checking the 3ds release either just in case.

I'm going to make every attempt possible to not let myself get hyped though.

Also sorry if I seem a bit pessimistic.

I, REALLY, HOPE, THAT, KLONOA, IS, IN, SSB4, About "YOU DON'T KNOW WHO I AM" post, it has many things, which increases klonoa's chance to enter.

Recently, I have been looking through the Palutana and Pac-Man trailers to see if I can find any more hints, and the closest thing I could find was a BLACK OUTLINE near the yellow outline in the introduction. However, I found the outline while I was looking at it in my video editor. I then looked at the video in Windows Media Player, and I didn't see it. So, back to square one. If I find anymore hints, I'll let you guys know. For now, our only hope now is the Geninja hint.

I have been looking through the other trailers for Smash Bros. 4, and I didn't find much, except for a couple things in the Villager trailer.


I kind of found SOME SORT of face that MIGHT be Klonoa's face. I'm not so sure about this one.


At the beginning of the trailer, we see Mario form from some CLOUDS. This could potentially support my cloud argument, but I'm not holding my breath.


Things get interesting with the boxing ring scene, on the jumbotron in the distance, we some some sort of thing on the monitor.


Using sizing techniques in my image editor, it IS a screenshot of gameplay, as you can see the percentage gauge if you look hard enough, but what's mostly interesting, is the portrait on the percent gauge.


Using image editing and lighting effects, we can get a closer look at the picture...and it looks rather...odd. What could this mean?

[NebulaVista]

I'll be honest, the first picture is definitely just grasping at straws. If you try hard enough, you can pretty much find anything in the shapes of clouds.

I'm thinking that the second character might be a Mii, but I'm not sure. What do you think it is?

[Graystripe2000]

I don't know. One of them looks like a shy guy. Cameo maybe?

^This. Look, I know you want Klonoa in SSB, we all do, but this isn't hard evidence that he's going to be in the game. The only real way of finding out is by waiting. You're just going to set yourself up for disappointment.

[NebulaVista]

When it comes to things like this, I set my expectations really low (lower than they should be).

That way, it's not disappointing if what you wanted didn't happen, and much more exciting if it did.

What am I doing with my life?

Setting it up for disappointment.
