His Final Smash literally gave me goosebumps! So much nostalgia!!! It's too perfect!!! He literally laughs at the firing squad and they all miss him!!!

Speculation God, GOML
I'm being tempted to switch mains.

Maybe I can have co-mains, but damn I haven't been this excited about a newcomer since Bowser in Melee.
I am not going to lie, I was not very interested in Duck Hunt; however, after witnessing the glorious game-play, he is more than I could have ever imagined. He reminds me of the Banjo/Kazooie that we never had... he also replaces Ivysaur as the quadrupedal smasher.

I showed my support for Duck Hunt Dog way back on the first page of this thread, and how here he is for real in Smash Bros.! He looks more amazing than I ever thought he could be! Congratulations, DHD fans!

That Final Smash is awesome. I think I've found a new main.

The admins or mods really need to rename this sub-forum. It is Duck Hunt, not Dunk Hunt even though he's good at dunking opponents. :awesome:

I was already excited for duckhunt dog from the leak, but this is even better than i imagined. So many unique newcomers, it's unreal.

"Duck Hunt Dog Gets the Last Laugh" sounds more snarky to me... :troll:
HOLY BALLS! DHD (or should I simply say Duck Hunt?:smirk:) IS IN! HE LOOKS GREAT! BTW, Arcadenik, it looks like Sakurai took some cues from you and Crusade! (LOOK AT HIS (POSSIBLE) NEUTRAL AIR)

who wanted to have that b**** in this game???
uuuh i think its been quite clear for a while that Sakurai likes including unexpected surprises in Smash every now and then (Wii Fit Trainer, ROB, Ice Climbers, Mr. Game and Watch....)

if he included every character we'd all expect. K. Rool and Ridley would have been in smash ages ago. Just sayin.

Oh wow, he takes moves from hogans alley and wild gunman too!!! I didn't expect him to be the full representation of the zapper games, this is AWESOME!! So cool to wake up to, and glad he has that laugh as a taunt too!

The Dog laughing at your pain while you're shot to death.

DHD Confirmed for Monokuma from Dangan Ronpa.

But that's one crazy FS, so celebrational to the Zapper-games.

Oh man, oh man, it's hard to wrap my mind around how awesome this is! Here I was expecting limited representation of even Duck Hunt, but we get that PLUS other Zapper games (and is that the zapper, or do crosshairs just appear in front of the duck as an attack? hard to tell... Awesome seeing the clay discs though!).

And all of it without animal abuse, they look like such a pair!! Teammates, like Banjo-Kazooie!

I'm beyond happy, guys! Congrats everyone, especially you, Arcadenik for pushing this character onto Sakurai so much!

I knew Duck Hunt Dog was the perfect character to represent the NES Zapper games. I'm happy Sakurai agrees. :cool:

I'm very happy that Sakurai even included the hunter from the fourth wall as well.

Didn't expect Hogan's Alley, what others did he references?
Wild Gunman has a few references as well.
Speaking of which OH MY FREAKING GOD YES!!! HE IS IN! HE IS ACTUALLY IN! AND HE LOOKS SO AWESOME! F*** YES! AND HE HAS MY IDEA OF ZAPPER SHOT SMASHES!
How does the exploding can move work? Is the hunter shooting it from offscreen? How do you control how it moves?

THIS!
Well.. this means Captain N is a no-no. :(
BUT.
Duck Hunt is the worthiest Zapper representative.
I'm gonna have to edit my sig now. Cap-N out, DHD in.

I adore his moveset!
