Anyone Else Glad that....

[Banjodorf]

Olimar made the cut, and the people he was competeing with for a while it seems (Krystal, Ridley, Geno) did not.
I just think were very lucky that Olimar got in, and was not put down like those popular choices.

Does anyone else feel this way?

Olimar had a waaay better chance than any of that characters ever did. He had way too many bonuses going for him to not put him in including popularity, I'd list them but it's too big of a list.

But yes, I believe I am VERY happy Olimar got in as I was hoping for him since the beginning.

 

[Norm]

i wasn\'t expecting him but i like that he\'s in it.

 

[IvanEva]

He is, after all, one of the very few original Nintendo creations in a long while. Plus, I find that this time around Smash is all about the Gamecube days (melee being about the N64 days).

Agreed. Im just merely saying most people assumed they were shoe-ins like Olimar was, and has just as much of a chance as he did. And he made it and they did not. I dont even know what I'd do if he was one of those left in the dust..then again, I dont even have to think about that. Hes in! Yay!

I'm excited about any character that brings different and creative gameplay to the table. Unique characters are either terrible (tier-wise) or amazing, and both are fun to play in their own rights. Seeing how P&O plays in early gameplay footage, I'm erring on the latter side, but we'll see how that changes with high-level play.

 

[Afro Joe]

I am so gald Olimars in and im sure he will be awsome.

 

[Half-Split Soul]

Of course I´m happy that Olimar is in! He´s got unique fighting style and he stands out from the public. Characters like him make SSB series what it is: Battle Fest with many different fighters and very different fighting styles all in one place. The more the different characters are separated from each other, the better.

 

[Oceanborn]

I'm happy P&O got in, but I'd like to see the other characters as well. As for who SHOULD have made the cut, I'll be honest and neutral here and say that I'm happy with P&O, but I would have to see the others' movesets and how they performed in the game before saying 'this one should have gotten in over this one'. I like P&O and his complexities, but should the others have gotten in and had some movesets I'd prefer, then I'd pick one of them instead, but so far I like P&O alot. I personally was rooting for Ridley and/or a buffed Mewtwo, never did I expect the Pikmin franchise to come back though. Which only means Pikmin 3 for the Wii, woot! (Not that I've ever really played the Pikmin games, but I wanted to.)

 

[Cinder]

Yeah, I'm glad Oli's in (hey, I'm maining him), but I'm disappointed that Krystal and Geno failed to make the cut...here's hoping that the DLC rumor's true *toasts*

 

[SmashBro99]

I was thrilled, and decided to make him a main right there (just like Diddy)

I hate how they are both really good though, everyone is gonna use them based on that, just like everyone uses Marth just because he's good (you can't tell me THAT many people like Marth as a character, lol)

Ever since I noticed the original support thread, I just knew he would make the cut. His confirmation wasn't a surprise, but a relief.

To me it was a pretty big relief! We were getting unique and cool characters up to Olimar's confirmation, but the only one that I actually was requesting was Sonic. I was waiting for Olimar for a loooooong time.

Funny story. My internet was actually down the day that my favorite character was confirmed. Anyways, Olimar was more deserving of a spot than Geno . And Geno, he was a joke. Come on, who thought of bringing back some random sidekick from the past. Krystal and Ridley were pretty deserving, but definitely not as much as Olimar.

 

[kid _icarus]

im not going to be maining him but brawl needs characters like him in it for diversity. btw rhubarbo nice sig

 

[legendganon]

I was happy that he made it but Krystal and Ridely would have provided more distinct varrieties of characters in Brawl but still Im happy that Pikmin and Omar made it. I know that Ridleys a boss but he would have been way cooler as a playable character.

wait wha


have you SEEN the preferred char list? o.O

 

[Banjodorf]

It didnt really have to do with the preferred character list. That actually didnt play a big part in character selection at all, if any (exception being with Sonic)

Olimar was the main character of an original and extremely popular series created by "Mr. Nintendo" who created Mario + Link.

He also, had much more "originality" possible in his character design than any of the other choices, being that he is COMPLETELY unique to all others.

 

[Textbook Ninja]

Not to mention... Oli is just plain awesome.

Soon we will see him plucking ganondorfs from the ground and tossing them to latch on to people with wizard punches.

I can smell it in my bones.

 

[Wiseguy]

I've always said that Olimar was one of the most deserving newcomers. You could maybe argue that Diddy Kong Wario are SLIGHTLY more deserving (given how long they've been around) but noone else comes close. He represents one of the greatest videogame franchises of all time, he has an extremely cool personality befitting a Nintendo icon and his Pikmin moveset is unparalleled in its uniqueness sheer unadulterated awesome.

Although I never doubted that he would make it, when he was finally confirmed I was estatic.

I agree.
Arguably, Olimar & the Pikmen are some of the most original characters in Nintendo HISTORY.
In a short note, Olimar is effing awesome and is my definite main

 

[joeysmash]

I was so happy Pikmin and Olimar made it. They without a doubt the most original characters in Nintendo history and deserve a spot.

I was screaming in joy when i looked on the dojo that day...

 

[hippochinfat!!]

I hated Pikmin for the longest time even when he was announced. I was still happy he made it because he looked very unique.

Anyways I was playing Melee with my friend a few days after that and he asked me about Brawl since he doesn't follow it and I told him how the guy from Pikmin was in and then was like "Pikmin is awesome. Do you still have the game?" and I said "yeah but it sucks big time" okay he eventually convinced me to get it out and we took turns playing and man it was FUN. We beat the entire game and I'm getting Pikmin 2 soon.

So I'm happy he made it in instead of them because I really like Pikmin and I don't like Mario RPG or Metroid and I think Krystal is just stupid. Besides ridley is TOOO BIG.

Slightly?!?!?!?!??!

HE IS WARIO. FREAKING WARIO.

WARIO WARIO WARIO WARIO WARIO WARIO WARIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He should have been in since the beginging! He's one of the most recognizable video game characters.

 

[Ca$hoholic]

I love how Olimar is in the game no questions added. But of course, i wanted Ridley, Krystal, Geno & Paper mrio, but Olimar & Lucario was my top 2 wanted characters for brawl, i got them, and now i am happeh :D
