I, for one, welcome our new leafy overlord. But for real, I was so shocked and amused when Piranha Plant showed up. I think it's great they went with an outside the box, totally unexpected character.

Oh yeah I do remember that game! I definitely agree it would be neat to have some horror content in Smash, though it might push the boundaries of what fits into a nintendo product.... That's a whole other debate though

"Should" is a strong word. It might be interesting if Nintendo bought out this or that studio, adding their IPs to their own and merging Nintendo sensibilities and assets with the new company. But there's not a lot of reason for it in a lot of cases when the same result can be accomplished...

Not a bad roster, except for a few I'm specifically opposed to. But that just comes down to taste. Although I have a question. Who is Yuuri? They look familiar, but I can't seem to find them via google. Also, I do like the Arcade Bunny choice. I think he'd work as a great joke character ala...

I'm a 90s man so I cry when I need to. Undertale Fire Emblem Awakening Dragon Age There are more, but those are the ones I can think of right now. I am very emotional at all times

For wide appeal, I'd say Super Mario Maker. It's pretty intuitive to use and I've found it easy to accidentally sink hours into it just tinkering with stages or playing them online. Definitely fun. For more genre stuff I'd say Metal Gear Solid V, Batman Arkham Knight (if you played Asylum and...

I posted in this thread long long ago, but my priorities and many of my opinions have changed since then and I think I'll post another "dream roster" if in some alternate time line I was in charge of Smash 5 First and foremost, the entire Smash 4 roster returns (including DLC) I'm pretty happy...

All I know is that Sonic's gotta go fast. So whenever I'm at a dead stop looking for whatever button or plot coupon I'm supposed to interact with next something is wrong.

I think Donkey Kong Jr. would make a fun retro Smash character. It'd be a fun acknowledgement of the arcade to nes/snes transition of gaming. Plus a celebration of the early days of Donkey Kong's franchise. I would also love Excitebiker. Bonus points if they remain on the bike at all times...

I distinctly remember hate for Wolf and Lucas during the Brawl era, but then as soon as they weren't in the base game for Smash 4 suddenly there was an outcry for them to return and how the roster wasn't complete without them. Honestly, it happens with all the veterans. No one liked Mewtwo...

I kind of agree with the spirit of what you're saying, but I would have worded it a little less...harshly.

I think what I'm happiest about after this final direct is that the Smashboards Echo Chamber has been proven wrong. Perhaps moving forward everyone here will remember that the hardcore, American focused, late teens/20 something predominately male community that populates this site does not...

I am skimming this thread and cannot believe my eyes. DISAPPOINTMENT? Well, haters gonna hate. As for me, Bayonetta is the first DLC character I am truly excited for. I love her games and it looks like they really incorporated the spirit of them into Bayonetta as a smash character. She's so...

Personally I'm hoping that the 15th direct will be the release of Cloud alongside the return of Wolf and Snake. Then the teaser for a few newcomer characters drawn from the ballot results (2 - 3 maybe?) slated for an April/May 2016 release. I think that this being the last dedicated Smash...

I think we have pretty much the exact same opinion on the matter. There are a handful of characters I'm outright hostile to the idea of (the indies aren't necessarily in that list), but the majority of choices I see discussed I at least shrug and go "yeah that'd be cool" Its so relaxing to be...
