Yeah, I can imagine seeing the look on some people's faces if Goku is revealed as a playable character. It'd be pretty funny although that's not the main reason I support him.
I'm not sure if Sakurai or Nintendo realizes that. Shulk and Little Mac boosted in popularity when they were revealed, though that's not to say they weren't popular beforehand. When Duck Hunt was revealed, it got people interested in the series again. Kid Icarus was revitalized because Pit was popular in Brawl, too.Welcome aboard!
I think that's something that's traditionally been interesting about Smash in general - sometimes someone shows up who is less well-known than some others, and gets a second chance as a result.
Little Mac's reveal in Japan: Who da **** is dat?
Yeah, its awesome. Honestly I thought this thread would be the least active out of all of mine but apparently its the most. Goku is rising to the top!To get from page 1 to page 2

Time to party
Bruh, not even dem multiple votes. Or Goku. Aint even worth mah time.
All those characters, those amazing choices, the endless possibilities. And it's one vote....
I'm still waiting for Duck Hunt Uprising.
How bout just a retro game revolution?I'm still waiting for Duck Hunt Uprising.
Man, I really do hope that we get a bit more spotlight shone on "retro" characters in the next game's roster. If we get that, hopefully it will obliterate the mindset that these older characters are only chosen to represent a particular platform, as well.
Yeah, there's a ton of retro characters that are good choices for Smash. Excitebiker, Donbe and Hikari, our very own Goku, etc.
Don't forget Mr. Stevenson, the Urban Champion (who I honestly think could make a legitimately good Little Mac semi-clone), and so on.
I can just kind of picture it having some interactive hazards that you can use to trap or hit people with, in a similar fashion to the numbers that are thrown around by the Dr. Kawashima Assist Trophy.
We did...
were added for other reasons.
Don't people support Diskun as a Famicom Disk System rep. Goku fits that role better in my opinion lol.
I mean Diskun is the logo so... Honestly it doesn't matter to me. I'd be happy either way.
I like said character. Also, if you support the character, you support the character. Doesn't really matter what your reasons are.
I actually like both Gokus. I'd love to see Nintendo's Goku appear as a playable character for his interesting mystical moveset, and awesome staff action! (And the very fact that he's a retro.
)
I know that.We did...
But to be fair, Sakurai wanted them to specifically represent the NES era.
What I mean is, these days you see people saying that Duck Hunt Duo made it in purely because of the Zapper, and stuff like that, and that post-dates the Ice Climbers' debut in Smash by quite a long time.For me, in no particular order, I'd like to see Mr. Stevenson, Goku, Takamaru, Balloon Fighter, Urban Champion, Sheriff, Tamagon, and the return of the Ice Climbers, as far as the NES era goes. I know we'll never get them all, but that's my list.
I've always imagined Diskun making it in as an Assist Trophy, along with the eShop shopping bag mascot (does he have a name? Does anyone know?)...
I couldn't possibly agree more. Well-said!
Wow, Goku is quite high on that list of yours, did you want him originally, or did my OP charm make you like him
. Also, Sheriff is arcade I believe not NES. And also *COUGH COUGH Star Man from Pro Wrestling*Yeah, Diskun seems more of an assist trophy type of character. Maybe him and the eShop bag could team up lol.I've always imagined Diskun making it in as an Assist Trophy, along with the eShop shopping bag mascot (does he have a name? Does anyone know?)...
I'd be fine with seeing these guys get any type of rep right now (AT, stage hazard, trophy). Any bit bit of exposure can lead to a full on revival if people take to them well enough. Little Mac's popularity went through the rough after his AT reveal, that probably ended up playing a huge role in him getting a new game, and his eventual appearance in Sm4sh.For me, in no particular order, I'd like to see Mr. Stevenson, Goku, Takamaru, Balloon Fighter, Urban Champion, Sheriff, Tamagon, and the return of the Ice Climbers, as far as the NES era goes. I know we'll never get them all, but that's my list.
There are several more titles of the same era that I'd be happy to see represented with stages, items, Assist Trophies, and so on, too, but if I were to attempt to go through those we could be here for a long time.
If you want a character that's extremely unlikely that also happens to be the most perfect troll character ever, it helps said character's chances immensely, seeing that Sakurai has admitted to putting joke characters in, in the past. No reason not to advertise it as such.
Neat man, thanks.
No problem man, the art was good. I'm thinking about adding another argument against Goku that a lot of people bring up.
I wanted him originally, even before I joined Smashboards.Wow, Goku is quite high on that list of yours, did you want him originally, or did my OP charm make you like him
Quite correct! I should probably have made a note of there being a pre-NES-era candidate in my list.
Wow. But my OP charm is still da best. I learned of Goku a couple months ago.I wanted him originally, even before I joined Smashboards.
Quite correct! I should probably have made a note of there being a pre-NES-era candidate in my list.
Oops! I forgot to say!
Updated the thread. Check out my new argument. Is it good? Does it defend our monkey pretty well?Oops! I forgot to say!
I think that it's definitely worth adding to the OP. The fact that Yuyuki and Dragon Ball have a shared inspiration/source material will probably always be a sticking point for our favoured Goku, which also means that the "troll character" thing will probably always be around, too.
added because Sakurai wanted a NES rep and he liked the team idea represents the Game & Watch series; it was the earliest Nintendo product to garner major success; I guess he liked the idea of a 2D fighter the toy that saved the gaming industry after the video game crash of 1983; not sure what Sakurai saw in a NES peripheral represents the NES Zapper games; Duck Hunt was a commercial success as the most-sold shooting game in the world; Sakurai liked the idea of a fourth wall shooter
Big thumbs-up from me. It's very reasonable, and doesn't deny that the perception exists, whilst also showing that it shouldn't be a real issue.
Thanks! If you have any more ideas for the OP be sure to tell them to me.Big thumbs-up from me. It's very reasonable, and doesn't deny that the perception exists, whilst also showing that it shouldn't be a real issue.
Shall do! I haven't had any yet, mind you...
), I guess it starts to make sense.
There actually is!Shall do! I haven't had any yet, mind you...
While I'm here, though, I wonder if there's any official artwork or concept art out there relating to the two Kirby series Yuyuki cameos? Actually, come to think of it, at first glance, they're a pretty odd combination... Although when you consider how the Kirby series is probably the most unashamedly Japanese series Nintendo has, and how many cool historical and mythological references it actually has (I've mentioned a few over in the Bandana Waddle Dee thread over time
_001.jpg)
Oh wow! That's official artwork? I'd seen it in someone's signature, but hadn't realised that - I actually thought it was (very, very good) fan-art.There actually is!
