| Hi, Sorry for being new here i'll been wondering made be wondering about the development of the game.
Was there any character that was scrapped when the old dev team was replaced by the new team? If so, What were they? Or how many? |

| Like, characters that were in the game but then removed by the new dev team? There aren't any. We've only added characters.
However, the old dev team did remove characters throughout a few versions. IIRC some earlier versions included Zant from Twilight Princess. The very first build also had Petey Piranha, who was absent for quite a while before the new dev team brought him back. Mega Man also used to be Mega Man X, but the old dev team replaced him with the classic version. There were also old rosters with characters that would never be allowed on the roster today, such as James Bond and Darth Vader. |

On a serious note, welcome to the forums, and I'd like to see this topic get some posts even though I can just annoy Dust in SlackChat to tell me who was scrapped |

| Zant is the only character who has been playable and then removed completely never to return unless you count Mega Man X who was replaced with regular Mega Man.
Mewtwo was added and then removed for a while before returning due to some conflict of interest issues.
There are characters who have come very close to being added (Some of whom even having their spriting finished/coding started) but I don't think I'm allowed to talk about those.
Leisure Suit Larry was never planned to be in, however a former dev did want him. |

| i actually didn't
i mean he's been portrayed by live-action actors but i'd go so far as to say he's more fantastical than characters that are already in the game
little mac's a damn good lightweight boxer, snake's literally just a special ops soldier in terms of fighting style, and ryu is a martial arts master with a few more fireballs than his real-world equivalents. james bond has access to a level of technology that's outright absurd for his time period (assuming we're talking the goldeneye version) and is capable of performing impossible physical feats for a skinny guy in a suit
i don't know why im writing so much about james bond i wasnt even being serious about him |

My point is, so's James Bond. He's slightly less superhuman in his own abilities, but his gadgets are completely unrealistic. |

| He's still slightly superhuman, at least for his body type. It's less exaggerated, but he performs some unrealistic feats and survives some crazy stuff he shouldn't be able too.
this is a dumb discussion |

| Doesn't Snake fit the bill pretty well with all the James Bond-related talk? The only difference being is that Snake is actually in the game. |

Aero the Acrobat was almost fully sprited by one of the older main devs, he is known for his work on characters like Mach Rider Frank West had like 2 animations by the same dude James Bond and Darth Vader were both once considered for the game, yes |

| If I remember correctly...
A few years back, when the character roster were available to the public, there were a few characters on said roster that were considered to be scrapped, specifically, Chocobo of the Final Fantasy series and Cress Albane of the Tales of series. Both characters were polled by the communnity to determine whether they should stay, and ultimately, Chocobo would be replaced by the Warrior of Light and Cress would be replaced by Heihachi Mishima and Klonoa, the latter being currently in Crusade (Klonoa, I mean). However, since the roster has now been closed to the public, The Warrior of Light and Heihachi may have scrapped by now... |
