Common Objectives

We just got Little Mac. Punch Out doesn't need to get two newcomers.
This wouldn't be the first time that a series was introduced with two newcomers (Fire Emlbem in Melee). Punch Out is a large enough Nintendo series to have two unique characters.

He would be a cool of Little Mac.
Some people thought that if Rosalina was in, she would be a clone of Peach. She is now is smash with a completely unique moveset.

He would be better as an Assist Trophy or as a Codec Call styled thing for Little Mac.
That is your opinion. I found that there was no Doc Louis support thread in the character listings, so I figured I should make one for him.​

Pushing it. I don't think Punch-Out REALLLLY needs another person. I can see Doc Louis being an assist trophy.

I mean, I'm not against the character at all. Infact, if he wasn't confirmed, I would've loved to see Doc be in before Mac just to confuse the hell out of people. But honestly, I think we're good. Maybe you can have Doc in the background cheering for Little Mac in the fight at times.

But still, I feel there could be alot more interesting characters that can go in before him.

As much as i love Doc he doesn't really strike me as playable character material. He should definitely be in smash in some degree though, my ideal inclusion would be a trophy and him giving mac advice in similar fashion to fox and snake's codecs in brawl

 

[UltimateWario]

Punch Out is a large Nintendo series

No, it really isn't.

I would prefer Doc stay a part of Mac's character, much as I love him.

 

[Pacack]

Isn't he kinda sorta deconfirmed?

 

[SmasherMaster]

Isn't he kinda sorta deconfirmed?

I don't think so. He wasn't seen in any gameplay footage, just the cinematic parts of it. So he still is fair game.

 

[Dropkick JD]

I will say this.

IF, and that's a huge IF. Nintendo ever decided to do DLC, free or not? I definitely see Doc making it in. I mean, I seriously do. That's the hugest "if" ever though.

Mainly because I don't feel he's needed for the initial roster, but he'd be a fun tag along later on for Little Mac. As for the "it's a big franchise".. The Punch Out series may be up there in one of my top five gaming experiences. However, it's certainly not up there as a huge popular franchise. I may not get into Fire Emblem, but that is definitely a series deserving of two reps. [I still think three is pushing it for that series, but maybe it's because I just can't get into it.].

Like I said, the guy would be a great character to have around. AFTER the fact we get a few others who are definitely more requested and needed for the series.

I think I'm good with just Little Mac. I mean, Doc Louis is pretty ****ing cool, but Punch Out doesn't need another rep.

 

[Waluridleykryrool]

Lets not fool ourselves King Hippo is the obvious choice if there is to be a second punch out rep, that said punch out really only needs mac playable.

 

[papagenos]

I've always seen it as:

mac - playable
doc - background/codec (some how tied in with mac as he should be)
king hippo - assist/boss

thats enough for punch out as much as i love the series we dont want to be star fox and get hate for over reping the series... maybe bald bull as a boss if king hippos an assist or vice versa.
