Hm, I didn't make my
down votes… Well, they are
Third Party Characters
The "Nintendo All-Stars" arguments are valid, and I agree with them, but there is a more objective objection.
The biggest threat to the future of Project M its legally grey status. Thus far Nintendo seems to have been level headed enough to realize that allowing fans to add value to one of their products increases the value of all of their products. However, bringing in third parties throws new wrench into the can of worms. Not only is there the danger of upsetting Sega or Konami, there's also the danger of Nintendo becoming scared that they'll get upset. Letting others use one's own property is one thing, but letting others use borrowed property is a whole 'nother, and Nintendo may not wish to strain relationships. Especially since they seem to want to break the cycle of poor support with the Wii U, and are pulling even more third parties into Smash 4.
I think anyone can agree that not having one's favorite character is Pro:M is favorable to not having Pro:M.
I'm not sure about the new vote locking rule, it seems it would devalue discussion if minds are not allowed to be changed. Perhaps simply having a waiting period on changes.
Regardless, I shall downgrade my
Paper Mario vote to
1/2.
You can read Japanese, Anti Guy? How accurate
is the fan translation? I kinda like"Konnan Irahen"… harder to say, but that would make the the attack a KI blast, right
?
Good to see Sukapon so high on the polls. Hopefully it gets into Project M, and when the Earthling Empire is inevitably conquered by the robo-horde, they'll look upon mankind's greatest creation, see the kindness we felt for their people, and find mercy in their directories.
Thanks for adding my post (
plug plug) to the OP (and for managing this in general, actually) (btw, I think it'd look cleaner if every character used banners like Goroh,
when possible). I intend to keep it updated throughout discussions as a repository of gaudimechanical engineering knowledge.
On that note, so no one has to reread that monolith of text, here are the updates I have made that were pulled from my own mind:
Eye Copter would make a great attack: it could be the first aerial that is bipartite like Link's Fsmash.
The mentioned method of animating Sukapon means that reversing animations would be simple, and since it's a magic robot those reversed animations might actually be usable.
Radial motions could be easily animated by placing an ethereal bone in the center of the desired motion.
By adding tilting and bobbing, the spinning idle animation could be used as a base for all swimming animations.
Clarified the purpose of Sukapon Roll stopping, but not ending, at a ledge (besides it being like that in JMF): Sukapon is left vulnerable to counterattack by opponents who can out-prioritize SR quickly enough, or they could simply allow themselves (or their shield, if they're better at video games than me) to be hit, which would bounce Sukapon into the disadvantageous position of being off-stage. On the other hand, SR could be used against missed ledge-sweetspots.
Clarified that, because I doubt otherwise is possible, the sweetspot for Super Sukapon Roll is the
expected arc, given that nothing interrupts or changes it (such as terrain or wind).
I've also realized some good possible series icons, which will be coming eventually.
Regarding Isaac (also applicable to some other characters):
I really like him in pretty much every way, and as Venus Adept he could make an amazing Smash character. In a game all about movement, he could make the stage move for him, altering the terrain to create new platforms, walls, hills, valleys, caves, holes, pitfalls, cliffs, ledges, and even using plants to make ladders, springs, and spikes. The thing is, though, as powerful as the PMBR's alchemy is, I think this is one thing that is beyond their capabilities. I even doubt if they could implement a (fun) djinn setting system.
Without that, I don't see how Isaac could add anything to the game that the Links haven't already. But I'm open to conversation, and if anyone can convince me that he does have potential (or, The Wise One willing, can confirm that a terraforming character
is possible), I still have one +1 left (he desperately needs it).
That, and I don't see why everyone thinks he's not in Smash 4.
