Is that a Slap City shout-out I see? Glad people remember it exists, seeing any mention of Slap City at all is surprisingly rare on Smashboards.

Here are some excerpts from my posts in the RTC thread about this topic. It doesn't go over animations, but as discussed above they don't need to slap a mean scowl or psychotic smirk on every character just because they're fighting.

Yeah, it's a handy site to keep tabs on. If I was more experienced I'd try going through Japanese forums, but tracking down roster speculation threads would be difficult. Bandana Waddle Dee has a lot of illustrations as well, if you look beyond バンダナワドルディ(Bandana Waddle Dee) and include ワドルディ...

Ashley's Japanese popularity is one of the most crucial elements of her potential inclusion, so I thought it'd be a good idea to take a look at Japanese art site Pixiv in an attempt to paint a clearer picture of her presence. This community doesn't necessarily have significant overlap with the...

It'd be hard for me to not be at least a bit satisfied with an assist trophy, since if nothing else it'd be the first time Lip made a proper appearance overseas. If you really want a nightmare scenario, imagine if Lip made it in as an assist trophy and the localization team did this:

For what it's worth, Panel de Pon did add more gameplay elements over time. Pokémon Puzzle League added a 3D mode and a couple more VS modes, Nintendo Puzzle Collection added 4 Player support, and future titles added a slew of new ways to play. Panel de Pon may be simple at heart, but that only...

I see your confusion now, you've mistaken the timeline of the games. The Lip we're rating is the younger Lip from Panel de Pon. The Lip who's grown up and had a child herself is the Lip from Nintendo Puzzle Collection. While Lip never makes an in-game appearance in Nintendo Puzzle Collection...

The percentage of R-18 Panel de Pon content is less than your Smash 4 main, substantially less than your Brawl main, and significantly less than your Melee main. That doesn't mean you're a raging pervert, but that every fictional character is going to have R-18 content created for them...

Abstaining from Travis Touchdown. He's in a Bayonetta situation where doesn't have much beyond some cult classic exclusives and an eager creator backing him, and I'd rather not judge a character I have little experience with based largely on assumptions about ballot validity and Sakurai's...

Professor Layton Chance: 10% Professor Layton is a Nintendo all-star in all but legal ownership. A true titan of mobile gaming, his games have collectively outsold franchises like Star Fox and are on par with Metroid despite never appearing on consoles. Outside of games, he's received an...

Banjo and Kazooie Chance: 45% This is me putting a lot of eggs into the leak basket. If the leak is either incomplete or inaccurate, then Banjo and Kazooie's odds fall drastically. Assuming Minecraft has exclusively non-playable representation in Ultimate, then that means Sakurai cut a deal...

I rather like the idea of Ray being as small as his Assist Trophy in Brawl was, it'd be interesting to deal with such a short stature from a gameplay standpoint and would help him stand out a bit more among potentially similar fighters like Samus and Mega Man. Being closer to canonical size...

I don't see why you're specifying competitive fun, whether or not a character is viable depends on a lot of factors. There's nothing inconsistent about Wario's bike, that's a matter of character knowledge. In a tournament setting it's expected that one would know the details of their main, so...

Spawning ramps is one idea, yes. He could also pop a wheelie and bounce, or simply move upwards without fanfare. He'd have his bike no matter what, can't have Excitebiker without his bike of excitement. Perhaps your issues with Excitebiker are more personal than practical, then? Wario's bike...
