I wouldn't be happy... 1) They would waste time and resources on some dried out character archetype, taking up yet another spot at a veteran's expense 2) KI doesn't need more than two characters right now anyway.
It's not too far fetched that he would pursue that kind of pattern when you think about Pokemon Trainer's monsters. His were specifically geared to represent the three starter types even though there was no shortage of other interesting Pokemon to include in that lineup.
"So why did he choose to add Dark Pit over someone like Medusa or Hades?"
So, what you're saying is, it'd be a good idea for a character the same size as everybody else and can easily be mistaken for something completely different and couldn't possibly be identifiable when all the characters are completely spread out in the farthest corners of the stage a boss? Yeah, New Pork City would like to have a word with you.
Wouldn't be the first time a character in Smash used a move they didn't in the original games.
I meant we as in in general. And, based on popularity of the gen three starters, Blaziken has them beat. For Pokemon, popularity is a huge factor, and the only reason people are saying Sceptile is "GRASS TYPE". It makes zero sense. It would make more sense, going off how Sakurai includes Pokemon, is that the Gen 3 rep would be Blaziken due to popularity. The only downside is that he's fire and fighting, and its already represented, I guess (if that's even a feasible counterargument).
That wouldn't bother me so much, however, Kid Icarus receiving the same amount of characters as it does games is a bit much. But for some reason Mario can only have five characters. That p***** me off. Anyway, I'm still a supporter of more important characters like Medusa and Hades.
You mean "the ourn" or "giant blue, one hit killing skull thing" (not sure if spelled correctly, not an expert in KI.)
Wolf with a Landmaster comes to mind.
That's not what I said. Many important parts of Pokemon are represented throughout the Smash Bros. series. I said it's ridiculous to believe that if you have a Fire starter and a Water starter, you MUST have a Grass starter. Why is it so important to have a Grass starter? Just to have all three starter types? Who cares?
So, he has the highest chances to potentially be a clone.
Might as well just put in Ivysaur or better yet make him a Venusaur, and make the starter trio fans happy, instead of going with not that popular gen 3 starter....
Then people would cry, "stupid genwunners" and crap like that.
Personally, I rather have Ivy's moveset return, than have Sceptile try to differentiate itself from Mewtwo, Lucario, and Greninja combined.
If he does, then Sceptile's a possible choice (and as mentioned above, Ivysaur considering it's a veteran), but that's not the argument at hand. The argument is whether we should really be placing that much emphasis on it, and considering this is a series governed by other factors that should also be considered, it can't be the only one we look at. That's where Sceptile falters because they're not really in his favor, and relying on one aspect to carry a character doesn't make him that strong a candidate.
Nah, that's too good to be true. No, seriously, I'd cry tears of joy.
Pretty much because Ivysaur has already been in the game, the process of adding Ivysaur would be much simpler than making him into Bulbasaur honestly, it would feel like a downgrade.
3. He's not playable.
No, because then he would have been added to the site.
Then he wouldn't have appeared in any trailer
Doesn't mean much, newcomer trailers are always horribly written and usually end with more questions than answers
Meh, don't mind the other guys bro. I completely support this, and I look forward to the trailer that gives us a full revelation of him among other characters.
I'm not suggesting he's likely, he's not. But the trio seeming to be the only strong enough point is irrelevant, because we don't know what sakurai is looking for. Unique moveset? Sure. New game coming? Sure. We just a don't know what he'll consider...
Actually, according to this article, we know what Sakurai is looking for in Pokemon characters.
Sceptile actually checks most of the points on that list honestly. Still don't expect him though.
It was not much of a direct tease as Dark Pit's though.
Yet I do remember you were pretty adamant that it was a direct tease to him.
Yes I was way too keen on it, even Golden pointed out that it wasn't one, that was my lack of figuring out what a real tease was.
That's exactly how I feel about it; they'd be screwed either way they did it.
We all have our opinions/expectations your's are just different from mine. I personally think he's got a great shot. Your points are most certainly valid as well though. Let's just wait and see.
Honestly, Dark Pit's case is nearly identical as Tom Nook's.
I thought they were there so people can actually see their character from far away and to influence the effect of 3D.
Here's why the Metal logic is a bunch of hokum;
