Why is Roy not "deserving"? I am at a loss on that one, sure there are more "deserving" characters; however, that does not automatically alter his relevance to Smash or the notion that he is highly requested (which equates to a desire from a significant portion of the fan-base).
If Roy was one of those characters who was in works to return, then yes he does deserve to be back. Let's not forget to mention that him and Mewtwo are highly requested to return. If there's DLC, I'm all in for that
Neither of those mean that a character is "deserving".
Well, it might be because he's a clone. On the same level as Young Link, Pichu, and Dr. Mario.
Hm. You're right, but Wii Fit atleast moved units. That may or may not matter, but I don't even think Rythmn Heaven is that popular. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I still believe Waluigi couldve been upgraded to a character spot. It may've been a stretch, but I would've liked to see it.
It would definitely be a stretch. The guy's another spin off character, the only separating him from Daisy is mild popularity and prominence in exactly one game. He definitely isn't on the same level of Ridley and K. Rool.
From what I searched, Rhythm Heaven is more popular in Japan than anywhere else.
IMO a rhythm heaven character has earned a spot, whoever that may be. And Waluigi really hasn't. But Ridley and K Rool should be top priority.
If we are using the dictionary definition of deserving; which as you know, I am incredibly fond of the dictionary.
Precedent dictates that you can be "deserving" and a clone. Roy is actually one of these established precedents.
Although, this is really a subjective thing, what does make a character "deserving" for you?
I just looked, and I was thinking about a completely different game lol. Sorry for the confusion. I was thinking of that one rhythm game with 3 guys in suits or something.
It's cool. I do agree Waluigi should be in more prominent roles (and I hope he is in the future) before he deserves a spot. I really just want him for fanboy canonical fights with Luigi lol.
I suppose my opinion is merely derived from the objectivity that Roy has already proven himself as a deserving character once before. The notion of "deserving" is not necessarily stagnant, obviously he is not nearly as prominent as he once was. It just feels as though if he was in Brawl, as he was originally intended to be, we would not be having this discussion.
Essentially this. I like Roy, I just think that people overrate his importance by a long shot.
Oh, you mean the Elite Beat Agents?
Ouendan or EBA?
That was honestly one of the few Awakening designs I really did like...
Yup, that's the one. I mistook those guys for the Chorus Men
Needs more belts! You can never have enough belts! Roy's illustrator also did the character designs from The Last Story, among others.To be honest, I don't see Roy taking precedence over the more recent Fire Emblem characters from Awakening. I'm not necessarily opposed to his reappearance, but as I've already explained in one of my lengthier posts, I imagine Sakurai would be more inclined to bring in more unique characters over taking the time to declone characters that were already included in the game. That said, if Roy somehow does come back, I would personally love to see him with the design he has in the FE: Awakening DLC.
A design such as this could provide some opportunities for Roy to be decloned since here his character model is drastically different from the one he had in Melee, which essentially was a copy of the armor used for Marth's model.
True. Just look at Ike.
It is probably less about Anna, and more about having a character that is not Chrom. I am just making an inference, I would also be interested to see what people actually see in her.
Anna is seen as the mascot of Fire Emblem by the creators.
You hate every Awakening character,don't you?
It has a game that sold over a million in Japan alone. That is very rare.
Oh yes, the Dictionary sure is a deserving candiadate for SM4SH.
Getting out in the fray and brutally injuring people is how she advertises her hospital.
You're right. But I think marketability is a major reason why Chrom is getting included.
If Chrom is included.Would rather play as Mr. Sukizo.
"Remarkable!"
You're right. But I think marketability is a major reason why Chrom is getting included.
