After further investigation, I found out that Misty and Brock's case happened last year. So I might as well add some cases that happened last year. (Not sure if I should include Megaman on the list since he appeared on SSB4)

Oh yeah
P.S. the one in Smash is Solid Snake, who was last seen in MGS4, which came out in 2008. The Snake from MGS PW and V is Big Boss.
