A Pattern I realized with the SSB4 DLC & Mario Kart Titles

  So, of course, patterns aren't really all that special. But, I have noticed a pattern regarding the MK titles and the SSB4 DLC. Most likely SSB4's DLC "pattern" will break as it's most likely a coincidence it happened. However, I am unsure about the MK's...So, without farther ado, let's take a look at the SSB4 "pattern".

So, the current characters we got are:
Mewtwo>Lucas>Ryu>Roy. Now, I noticed something...if you were to replace their names with the SSB game they first appeared in. It should look something like this:
Melee>Brawl>Newcomer>Melee
See the pattern? It starts off with Melee,then Brawl,then a newcomer, then melee again. So, if this pattern ISN'T a coincidence, I can predict that we may get 6 more characters, boosting the current amount of DLC characters to 10 and the number of Smash 4 characters to 50 or 60. The characters that I think will come back? Well...here's what I think....(P.S I cannot predict the Newcomers)
Mewtwo(M)>Lucas(B)>Ryu(N)>Roy(M)>Wolf(B)>Newcomer>Pichu(M)>Snake(B)>Newcomer>Ice Climbers(M)

Now before you freak out about "Why Pichu?" let me explain...
If they were to add another Melee Rep, it will most likely be Pichu(Or Ice Climbers).Plus, ever since they added Roy & Mewtwo to Project M, Pichu has been getting an uproar to be added back into the smash series.


Now for the Mario Kart Pattern...Please note, I will not be including the Arcade games. So keep that in mind...
The Pattern I realized for MK was:

Super Mario Kart & Mario Kart 64 were named off of the console they were on(Super NES & N64)
Mario Kart Super Circuit & Mario Kart Double Dash were named off of the things you do in racing. (i.e you DASH through CIRCUITS)
Mario Kart DS & Mario Kart Wii were named off of the console they were on (DS & Wii)
Mario Kart 7 & Mario Kart 8 were named off of...wait for it....NUMBERS!(You know? 1,2,3?)
Soo...what can I predict from this? That the next Mario Kart game will be called "Mario Kart NX" or some unique name like Double Dash & Super Circuit.

The Mario Kart title pattern isn't all that special, and most likely the 4 one was just a coincidence. But, it's still nice to realized something like that.
 
Ice Climbers were in Brawl, Pichu was crap and shouldn't be in the new game, Nintendo likely don't have the rights to include Snake in the game.

The Mario Kart theory makes no sense. The GCN title was called Double Dash because you were controlling two characters rather than one, and Super Circuit was originally going to be called Mario Kart: Advanced (which it is in Japan), but was probably renamed because it included every track for SMK and Nintendo decided to put effort into named their games.

Which they immediately lost because they just started numbering the games rather than naming them after the console or handheld.

Yes, Ice Climbers were in brawl, but they first appeared in Melee, thus making them a Melee veteran.
Yes Pichu was crap. But if they were to add another melee rep (which I highly doubt) I would rather them add him than Young Link.
Actually, from what I heard of, the creator is completely fine if they were to re-add snake back into brawl.

Regarding the Mario Kart theory, I didn't know that Mario Kart Super Circuit was called Mario Kart advance in Japan, but I don't live in Japan so I went with the USA title. And yes I know Double Dash was called Double Dash as you control two characters but it still has DASH in the title and I consider that something you do during the race...(Obviously, I'm not good explaining stuff)

I'd like a source on this, please.
Unfortunately I don't remember where I heard the info from. But like I said, I HEARD that the creator is fine adding him back, so I'm not 100% sure.
 
No, Kojima, the creator of Solid Snake, does not own the character.
Konami and is splitting with him, and they own the character, which means no matter how friendly Sakurai and Kojima are, it's down to Konami, who are practically falling out the console business.

Sakurai also stated the Ice Climbers can't be in the game due to a bad glitch with the 3DS.

Well, I have a feeling konami will be fine if they bring Snake back. Because why would they be okay with him being in Brawl but not in 4?

You cannot definitely say "Lucas>Ryu>Roy" since they all came out at the same time.
But...Lucas was announce before those two. Sure, I know Roy was announced before Ryu, but with the leaks, they were confirmed at the same time so it doesn't matter which one comes first,

Brawl was on the Wii.
Konami was still a big company then, and Kojima was still important to them.
Now they had a split, thy have no relations with Nintendo.

Snake Eater had a 3DS Port :p Couldn't it count?
Yeah, it could, but remember, that was in 2011. This is 2015 now. Besides, the game was out way before Smash 4 was even in development.

Yeah i know, but it could count a little bit :p
Not with such a long timespan, it doesn't. So many things can happen in just a single year. Add three to the mix, and most likely there will be change. With Konami's increasing distance from gaming, their recent struggles with debt, and rumors that they fired Kojima, the chances of seeing Snake in Smash 4 are pretty much slim to none.

But what about brawl? Wasn't The last MGS game to be released on a Nintendo console in 2004? Sure, Brawl was meant to be out on 2007, but even then, it was almost a 4 year gap. What Difference would it make with the 3DS port? Sure, Konami & Kojima are splitting, but Kojima didn't leave konami fully yet...(Did He?)
 
I'm fairly certain Kojima is leaving in September (http://goo.gl/bilX9V), PT wouldn't have been cancelled if he was planning to stick around. Konami owns the rights to the Metal Gear series and Nintendo would have to ask permission and work out an agreement to include Snake in the game. It doesn't seem worth the hassle for Nintendo.

It's more likely that a character from Capcom or Sega would be included.

No more Capcom characters...please...same goes for Sega.
Regarding Snake, we may never know...Konami will most likely be fine if they were to re-add Snake again as they seemed to be fine with it when he was in Brawl. Plus, the're a lot companies out their that want their characters to be in Smash so...yeah....
Regarding Nintendo asking Konami if they can re-add Snake, we may never know until Nintendo finishes adding DLC characters to Smash.

You know Konami could add if they want Simon Belmont or Frogger
But we all know Simon is the better choice
