Roster Prediction Discussion Thread

[shrooby]

so what character has a better chance Pacman or LittleMac

Well, apparently they're both in the game already along with Miis.

 

[?????????????]

dude Marth is sooo boring

...Soooo...then there's no problem adding Mac, right? He couldn't possibly be any worse.

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

........what the heck did I miss?

Well, it started like this:

Then turned into this:

...Somewhat of an exaggeration, as it's been worse. But not very often.

This would be more appropriate if the thread got closed or if someone started spamming heavily or something, but I'm just being nitpicky.

And I wouldn't mind Little Mac. He seems "boring" like Marth, but he could have that star mechanic. I'm sure Sakurai could work with him and make him fun to play as.

[Starcutter]

Kamek's a pretty cool dude.
I think it's arguable whether Kamek as a character has earned his inclusion, but I think his potential to be a unique character makes up for that. For me at least.

And what HylianHero said. It seems like Kamek is more garnering support from the fact that he's part of the Yoshi series than because he's Kamek, if you know what I mean.
Even with characters like Ridley, K. Rool/Dixie, or Goroh, for me, I don't support them because the franchises they hale from don't have that many characters. That's not enough for me. I think that the characters themselves, not just the series, have earned the spot.
Heck, that's almost the sole reason I support Ridley so much, and it's the reason I don't wish for Hades over Palutena.

well, that's true, I guess. I mean, I support stork more for a yoshi rep because I really like the character, as well as the moveset potential. also the character design is a lot more appealing to me than kamek, especially if kamek is not riding his signature broom. however, if kamek soes ride his broom, I end up liking his initial design a lot more, and his moveset potential is way more expansive than that of the stork's.

I remember why I started supporting kamek in the first place was when I was playing through yoshi's island and realized how much of an impact he made on me as a player, making me really want to spoil his plans for luigi, whatever they were. then I started supporting him for smash, cause it's the logical thing to do (lol).

 

[Depressed Gengar]

Shall I make a roster to move the topic along? Let's try and move on...
This time, I'll pretend Yoshi was obviously confirmed.

Common sense confirmed Yoshi ages ago.

 

[Bowserlick]

Leave Saturn alone. He is but Ridley trapped in a human body.

Can you imagine being a predatory space pterodactyl fueled with a constant supply of adrenaline and a stomach full of churning plasma ready to be spewed on your prey in order to melt them to a sizzling goo so they could be slurped down your narrow neck? All that rage and instinct. And that large body you have to haul around.

Now imagine that stuffed inside a human body who likes to write his frothing opinions on a forum site. Before you judge Saturn too harshly, put yourself in his shoes. Primordial hunting behavior of an apex predator in the feeble body of one of us, mere homo-sapiens.

If you want Ridley in Smash, you must accept his human avatar; his human incarnation right here in these forums.

A personality that some may argue is too big; but that everyone would miss if gone.

 

[Louie G.]

Mac's star mechanic is all he needs to become an interesting fighter.
He's a great new take on the boxer fighting stereotype.

 

[Luigi#1]

It isn't fun here unless you have someone to debate with.
Ignoring everyone who seems iffy will get boring.

Iffy?
And I don't like to debate with people that are too rude. Buuuuut...It is fun.

 

[Louie G.]

And I don't like to debate with people that are too rude. Buuuuut...It is fun.

That's what I'm saying.

 

[augustoflores]

Like I said there are some good, civil, intelligent people here.

just out of sheer morbid curiosity, could you name drop? (ech... constricted your quote to the base of my query.)

 

[Will]

Well, it started like this:

That's not funny,not even in my terms.

 

[Depressed Gengar]

And yet you diss Little Mac.

Whip him.

I'd rather use rubber bands.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

There is no smarter Smash community than Smashboards.
That is a fact.

That's exactly how arguments like possum's start. "I'm smartest! I am using facts!"

 

[Frostwraith]

I see I missed more of this thread's usual bull****. Ah, how I used to like this thread much more before mid-2013... You know, when we actually discussed characters and didn't try to "win" arguments to fill our insignificant egos, but alas, E3 happened and with everything good comes something bad. Before I stick the (hopefully) final nail on the coffin, allow me to ask you to look at the magnificent statement a wise man once made in my signature (just below the gifs, you can't miss it! ).

Anyway, the topic is... Little Mac? I think he would be an interesting character, fighting using a more traditional style. His blandness would actually make him stand out and not in a bad way, actually.

 

[Louie G.]

And there lies one of the biggest problems with Smashboards users

I mean, what competition is there?
GameFAQS? IGN? MIIVERSE? YOUTUBE?

I had liked your post until you mentioned Opossum.
You two are both my friends, so I mean...

that premise could work as a really good psychological sci fi book

 

[Bowserlick]

Marth stabs.


....That's pretty much it. He turned out fine.

His specials represent his game pretty well and fits his strategic approach. He has a shield breaker, a counter, and a built in combo-maker. All unique specials at the time.

 

[Will]

I'd rather use rubber bands.

You made me do this

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

Let's just drop this conversation...

 

[Knight Dude]

Still nothing to talk about? Well what about Mach Rider? I don't know you don't see much Mach Rider talk here. Maybe the Excitebike guy, he's cool too.

 

[kingmario92]

So much negativity going on right now. Is it always like this?

 

[TheLastJinjo]

I mean, what competition is there?
GameFAQS? IGN? MIIVERSE? YOUTUBE?

The first 2 yes.

 

[Arcanir]

........what the heck did I miss?

Lets just say things got out of hand and leave it at that.

 

[Luigi#1]

You made me do this

View attachment 7442

My soul was hurt.
EDIT: THAT.THAT WAS MY 100TH POST!?
Yay, did it in 1 day.

 

[XStarWarriorX]

Marth boring wut?

Spoiler

if this is boring then lol... just lol

I've always seen marth as a fencing type character that controls spacing and stuff.

Though no character in smash is truly boring, especially now with the smash 4 dev team trying to get creative.

If little mac or pacman get in, i'm sure as hell they'll be creative. even chrom.... with a skill activation moveset or something. I still don't like chrom though, but it can be done.

 

[Louie G.]

The first 2 yes.

Well GameFAQS is full of ignorant Daisy supporters and Ridley detractors.
IGN I have nothing bad to say about, really.

 

[Will]

Let's just drop this conversation...

This conversation is apparently the bass

 

[Hotfeet444]

That's what I'm saying.

If you call arguments so painful you'd rather punch yourself in the leg until you bruise than listen to it anymore fun...I don't understand your sense of humor.

So anyways, does anyone have a moveset for Little Mac yet? Or am I going to have to go digging for my old one?

Hey kid, this is what you sound like:

Spoiler

What the **** did you just ****ing say about me, you little *****? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the **** out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my ****ing words. You think you can get away with saying that **** to me over the Internet? Think again, ******. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re ****ing dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little ****. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your ****ing tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will **** fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re ****ing dead, kiddo.

Next time you make a threat, how about you do it like a man.

I'd like to see you come get me, just as an fyi, I'm a 2nd degree Blackbelt, and have trained Muay Thai for 3 years, so I'll gladly take your challenge.

What have you got to show?

...So do the same for Mac. Punch-Out is all about finding the weaknesses in opponents, dodging around them, and punishing them with combos and powerful blows. Make specials that including dodging, a counter, a combo hit, and powerful attack. Reflects Punch-Out pretty well and fits his strategic approach.

I think he was trolling you bro.

 

[Arcanir]

Didn't Namco say they wouldn't add any of their characters?

Actually, Sakurai just said that they won't have higher priority then other third parties, a Namco character is still in the cards.

 

[Bowserlick]

So Little Mac would copy Marth, but not have a sword? Sounds horrible.

[XStarWarriorX]

Lol..... all mario does is punch and kick for his attacks. I don't see you complaining about that.

marth has a ton of combo potential, that ain't boring.

 

[Knight Dude]

So much negativity going on right now. Is it always like this?

Not this bad. Really it's just mild internet drama to me. The only thing I though was uncalled for was any insults flung towards at other users. Other than that, no big deal.

Like I suggested before, how about we talk some Mach Rider or Exictebiker? Are they're any other vehicle characters you guys could suggest?

 

[Louie G.]

So anyways, does anyone have a moveset for Little Mac yet? Or am I going to have to go digging for my old one?

Here you go, I'll do a quickie.

B: Stun Punch
Little Mac stuns the opponent for a short moment, preparing for a slew of combos.

Side B: Bull Rush
Mac uses his old foe Bald Bull's signature move. Mac charges by kicking his leg back, and runs forward to land three strong punches.

Up B: Star Uppercut
No explanation needed.

Down B: Counter Punch
Little Mac slides backwards and runs back to uppercut the opponent quickly. If this is performed in order to avoid an attack, Mac earns a star.

Final Smash: Giga Mac
Yeah you pretty much know this one.

 

[kingmario92]

I'd rather hear from someone else. I already knew what your response was
