Bringing freshness by copying existing formulae? Right. Whatever.

replaying to an ancient comment but whatever... Rico kind of makes more sense than Sev, because he's been in all 4 games. it's still a little weird but I guess that explains it a bit?
I agree this'll probably suck. but I'll still probably buy it, so I guess sony wins...

I'll admit I've never had any Playstation console before, and therefore wouldn't necessarily know absolutely everyone on the list, but, ...who the hell are those people? I know like, 12 of them. And all I see are a bunch of generic people names.

That list is almost entirely focused on recent titles, needs more PSX era love-squeezins.
VIB from VIB Ribbon as a counter to Mr. Game and Watch
Alucard from Symphony of the Night
Crash from Crash Bandicoot
Solid Snake (been done, but c'mon that game practically defined the PSX)
Cloud from FFVII (also perhaps Sep... they've already appeared in that Square arcade fighter, which was pretty radness)
Chris Redfield, circa Resident Evil 2 (none of this hulk-arm BS from MvC3)
Lara Croft (but of course)
Skeleton dude from Medieval (might be the first on the list Mike posted, can't recall his name)
Someone from Bushido Blade ('case that game was hardcore awesome)
Pyramid Head from the Silent Hill series
Megaman, circe Megaman Legends (that style is still pretty boss and hasn't been cashed in on)
Granted many of these characters have appeared on other platforms, but a lot of them really helped define the Playstation as not just a worthy piece of gaming hardware, but also a household name.
I'm just scratching the surface here, casting my mind back quickly to the experiences that shaped my time with the PSX... there are actually potentially fuckloads of good characters that could be drawn upon for something like this, if SONY could wrangle the licensing deals.

Skeleton dude from MediEvil would sell me this game instantly. I love that character.

I like your list Karai, but the problem is that almost none of those characters belong to Sony. Looking at these lists of proposed characters, it seems that any Sony Smash Bros game would be 80% made up of third party characters who have been licensed. That would get costly, and fast, and it's another reason why I don't think this game will ever be made. It's nice to dream though.

The reason I think this game will most likely happen is that it's Sony copying Nintendo. That always happens.

Hence my caveat at the end of the post. Sony don't have much in the way of platform specific characters, but there are plenty there that people of our generation (and the ones 5+/- years either side or so) can strongly tie to their hardware.
Granted it'd require a lot of legal battling, but Nintendo have shown that it's possible to acquire and successfully use characters that are not wholly their own so the precedent is there. Besides that, Sony have a fair bit of heft to throw around in making that happen.
Most of the stuff on my list is just gamer-geek wants and I wouldn't expect that to realistically happen at all, but it's also not entirely out of the realm of possibility.
But yeah, I don't think it's realistic to think of Sony making a Sony IP nostalgia bomb... because, let's face it, they can't.

Given that a developer from SuperBot was talking shit about the game on Twitter, and then had his entire account yanked, I'd say the evidence is very much for the game existing. Hell, we've already got a screeny of Sweet Tooth.
