Hey how come MegaMan and Zero weren't in SSBM? they have been around since 8-bit nintendo and are almost as old as mario(well Mega Man is, Zero is slightly younger). that would have been great

Give him a break Grav, that was better than a lot of shit we see from regulars.

Oh, I just never bothered to read his post.

Because they're not Nintendo or Hal characters. Nintendo owns the franchise, Hal develops it, therefore, trying to include any characters outside of either of those two groups' ownership would require massive royalty fees and a ton of red tape. Capcom owns Megaman and Zero.

Thanks for the info, but i do believe capcom would have let them use them. I mean they used different characters in capcom vs (insert company here) and i don't think there was some massive conference over it.

that's most likely because there was collaboration between, for example, Capcom and SNK or Capcom and Marvel. trust me, companies don't just give out rights to their belongings. how would they make money?

quick edit. i'm a half-hardcore ssbm player. mmx and zero would have made shitty characters. they would have played like samus but with a faster fall. it wouldn't have worked.

Sure, Capcom would have let Nintendo use Mega Man and Zero in Smash Bros, but you're not listening to what I said. I said that there would be a lot of royalty fees and red tape. It would have been an enormous hassle for Nintendo to include those two characters, and for what real profit? They would just end up losing money in the deal. There would be no point to it.

OK I agree with you there but, what about Wario(without changing mario's costume), he has very different powers from mario and luigi

and in reply to your "same as samus" quote, take a look at mario and luigi. and fox and falco. even c.falcon and ganondorf. just balance the abilities different.

Yes, but it all comes back to the royalty fees thing. Nintendo has no problem including Luigi or Dr. Mario because it won't cost them anything to use the licenses. Mega Man and Zero would cost Nintendo, and they'd be paying money for a pair of characters that would probably play very similarly to Samus or Fox. It would be pointless.
