If we get someone from Hyrule Warriors, I hope it's Impa. I think her HW incarnation is the funnest we've had so far! Oh, and having Ganondorf's redesigned to look like his HW counterpart would be great too.
I wouldn't personally expect a canon Zelda character to be the Hyrule Warriors character, unfortunately. I really like HW Impa as well, but I think they'd take one of the characters developed specifically for that game as a way to keep HW a separate canon from mainline Zelda.
Well, I'm not that into Metroid, but I keep remembering that the Ridley seen in Pyrosphere is a clone (not a moveset clone, an actual, genetically identical copy of the original). I feel like a compromise could potentially be made: address the clone as an alternative name (from what I recall, "Neo Ridley" seems to be the most popular) and use Ridley's classic design for him as a fighter.
That's what I'm saying. That's the best looking Ganondorf so much power and he has Ganon as a STAND.
As I said earlier in regards to Impa, I doubt they'd use a HW appearance for a mainline character in order to not cross over the seperate canons. Ganondorf is the same issue.
Tingle makes more sense than most other than Impa honestly.
Wait like the race of monster or the one wearing the mask?
I don't think a character will happen, but I can definitely see music and an AT, maybe even a stage.
Could you or someone else explain to me how Impa makes a significant amount of sense? Her appearances have no consistency, most recently being an old decrepit woman. She's a Sheikah, and everyone who argues for her wants her to be a ninja, which is literally what Sheik is. I don't understand the idea of Impa as a playable character, besides the cool appearance she had in Hyrule Warriors.
Well, that wouldn't be such an issue if it weren't for the fact that most American fans DESPISE Tingle. That's easily his biggest roadblock; despite being adored in Japan and set parts of Europe, fans in the states hated him so much that when asked about localizing one of his own games, they voted "no" on it by a landslide.
The race. The Masked version has one canon appearance. Skull Kid, the race, has at least 3.
I disagree with a lot of the design choices made in that game, but Machamp is sick and he'd be really fun even though he'd also never get in.
Yeah okay thank you that's what I thought, and you're right the monster race has three. While the Character wearing the mask has one.
I wonder would it be better to have multiple or one Ganon that has everything?
Which objectively speaking I just can't see happening. Pokken is the only thing the owl has.
I could definitely see music and possibly a stage from Pokken. I think the music for that game was way too good to pass up. Smash Switch will be a mistake without Magikarp Festival.
Though it'd be neat to have a stage more inspired by HW's design instead of the regular ones in the main games. But honestly, it's only worth doing if we get an actual HW character(whether one of the original characters or a design based upon it as an update to someone, like Ganondorf).
I just don't know how you'd clearly differentiate a stage between Hyrule Warriors and canon LoZ. I guess they could make those purple time gate things from Warriors pop up and change various elements about the stage to things that reflect different portions of LoZ history. That's how characters from the different eras appear in Warriors, after all.
Pretty much. Plus, the enemies spawning could be the HW design too. As well as some bosses, like Manhandla. It generally appears in Dungeons, and I don't remember it appearing in HW in a regular dungeon? Or for a better example I know more about, King Dodongo. He doesn't appear outside of a volcano, but easily appears in a regular forest area. And so on.
Temple of Souls seems like a good one to me. Pictures and statues of Link everywhere, rose gardens, weird portals in the background...
Is his hatebase still prevalent these day's? I know his hatebase is the reason why he hasn't reappeared in the mainline Zelda series other than some cameo's here and there, though nowadays I think he seems to be viewed more as a meme character more than anything, but maybe that's just me...
That was Doctor Mario.
Nowhere near as much, no. His addition to HW was met more with praise than hate, as it's his first playable appearance in the US, and he was also based upon his more popular appearance from MM. It's WW that started the hate for him, and considering his role in the game, it's not unjustified.
Oh I see, though in WW HD I believe they heavily dumped him down to where he only requires to decipher a few maps rather than all of them as well as increasing the wallet size you can carry so perhaps that may also have helped in softening the blow on him?
Possibly . The Tingle Bottle might've helped. I personally liked the Tingle Tuner, but yeah.
Screw the Americans! Full speed ahead!
Well, that's good to know. On the other hand, this is how I feel about learning these sorts of things:
WAH! I couldn't agree more!
Honestly, if they'd just release all the games in every region, it would boost fan support quite a bit. Weird part is, the games might not sell all that well due to some pointless hatred, but him being in Smash might be received better since it's just one of many characters. It's rare for people to refuse to buy a game simply because it has one character they don't like. Obviously if most of the roster is unfavorable to them, it makes sense not to get the game. But there's something always alluring with Smash, even if the roster isn't one's favorite. Modes, items, music, stages, etc.
A brother in WAAAA-arms! Sakurai can't ignore us forever!Well, that's good to know. On the other hand, this is how I feel about learning these sorts of things:
Let the hype resume then. Tingle, Tingle, Kooloo-Limpah!
WAH! I couldn't agree more!
Lana would honestly make a very interesting character, being a magic user able to create and manipulate those blocks. Although if anyone from Hyrule Warriors were to get in I'd prefer that incarnation of Impa, both her weapons in that game were awesome, if they could make a moveset using both that'd be cool.
Think you should separate gimmick from character mechanic. Because your examples are not.gimmicks. they are unique character traits that make charavters feel and play u uniquely. If you truly want more variety between characters you sjould want unique traits for them. Characters dont just magically play different they need new mechanics.
All of them other than what was mentioned for Bayo are gimmicks, and no they aren't necessary for making a character that plays differently. If you have an adequately wide design space, you can make every character from the same set of mechanics and have them all work differently. The easiest example here is Fox's lasers versus Falco's in Melee. No new mechanic was added to Falco's, but it isn't used the same way at all. Another example is Roy's hitboxes compared to Marth's. One makes you keep your opponent at a distance to hit the hardest, the other is closer-quarters with the option of weaker hits from further away.
To clarify, gimmick and mechanic are often used interchangeably here. Moreso for characters than anything else.
I completely understand why people want HW Impa. Heck, her role in HW is probably more significant to the game than Impa's role in any other game. However as I said earlier, I just don't forsee a canon Zelda character being implemented to Smash using their non-canon appearance. And that goes for any characters non-canon vs canon appearances, not just Zelda.
Well shoot if Mario spinoffs count, then that was Yoshi. They don't use the mushroom kingdom symbol for it, so we know it's the one from it's own series.
