To name a few
I don't think we'll be talking about him much anymore.
Sceptile would make a great addition to smash, but with the amount of Pokemon reps in the game I doubt that it would happen.
Oh no it's fine!
The logic is in how universes are represented.
As long as it isn't "Skylanders" Spyro I would love that. Too bad they're pretty much Playstation icons.
As pleased as I would be if they somehow did make it in (I do, however, think they're better off in PlayStation All-Stars), I think the fact that they're so unlikely is one of the reasons why they aren't discussed often.
I'd love that. probably would be a little sad that he was the ONLY 3rd party we'd be getting but I'd get over it.
I'd be pretty happy, other than maybe Bayonetta or a second Sonic rep I wouldn't really want any other 3rd parties
Well Rayman himself is pretty cool so that would be nice. And as for the other 3rd arty characters I care about. . . they don't have a chance anyway (Agnes Oblige, Phenix Wright) so it's pretty much the best case scenario for me if Rayman was our only 3rd party.
The problem is that the ones that aren't discussed tend to be the ones nobody wants.
I'd be the happiest man alive.
This is why we need some serious wordsmiths. people able to get people to think of another option. We so rarely are able to get newcomers to the smash speculation scene. Other than Inklings and Indies its pretty much been the same characters over and over again.
I'd be quite happy, while I'd rather not have any more third-parties as DLC, especially if there's only three left (Black Mage and Bomberman would be cool though), I played Rayman games a lot as a kid, he would be an unique character and he is better choice for Smash than lot of the other third-parties imo, and him being the only 3rd party added would rule out many third-parties that I'm against.
I'd be pretty happy, I don't really want any more third parties but I do like Rayman a lot as a character, so personally, it'd be nice to get him and even better to have the assurance that the other characters are all from Nintendo.
Youre right, we are still two short of what we should be getting: Eight.
I'm under the impression that leaks boost popularity, even when their fake, I don't remember Inklings being called the 2nd most likely character until the leaks happened anyways, so I feel like you'd probably be right that he'd get nearly as popular as them
.
We should be getting 8 Pokemon? I was not aware that we needed that much.
How about Medusa or Hades from Kid Icarus? I wanted them both since before the game released but every time I ever brought it up I was bombarded with "KID ICARUS HAS TOO MUCH REPRESENTATION IN SMASH ALREADY HURR DURR NEED RIDLEY". But seriously Hades and Medusa are two characters I would buy in a heartbeat.
He actually is popular in or two circles apparently (gamefaqs and Neogaf iif I remember correctly)
(Irony of just saying we should have more diversity and then putting down options)
The bombardment I was referring to was from the smash bros sub-reddit but anyway, I would absolutely LOVE Viridi in Smash but I just personally feel that once a Mii costume is made for a character that's not already playable it's a silent way of saying that character won't be playable. I know nobody ever said that's a rule but it just seems that way to me (which is why I don't see K.Rool being playable).
I find it extremely ironic to call Nintendo's mascot franchise and another gigantic series overrepped while advocating for more pokemon. Not because they are both overrepped (i just said I believe the opposite) but for the double standard.
I think if we're getting any 3rd Parties at all through the Ballot. Rayman's probably the most likely thanks to two things: 1. You already mentioned that but Rayman already has a presence in the game through the trophies he has, while I know that more had to do that in an odd situation Nintendo of Japan partially owns Rayman and everywhere else he's 3rd Party. It's nonetheless something I think that gives Rayman an advantage. It helps that aside from Roy and Ryu. We've seen trophy to character promotions already. and 2. That Rayman leak by Artsy Omni wasn't too long before the start of the Ballot. Many people who were upset about that may have taken to the polls.
Stay tuned for my SourceGaming article which discusses the current representation of Pokemon.
I'm not sure what the part I bolded was intended to say.
Greninja's moveset not represented well? I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that but...
I think the premise of looking at a design and coming up with the moves from it is an a point blank disrespectful means to decide upon how a character will play. The fact that Sakurai admits to doing this with Greninja makes me wonder where else he has cut some corners (despite the claims that everything is done so thoroughly, obviously there are examples where it does not). It also makes me wonder how respectfully he actually believes he treats the characters, concerning the many times he has stated that he wants the characters to be true to themselves and to their source games.
This, too, is not a proper way to decide anything about how a character should play- certainly not the entire premise of how she plays. If he did this with Fire Emblem characters, they literally all would just be swordfighters. He claims to take time to look into the games, and represent the characters in an honest and thoughtful way.
