Not denying that... however, Sakurai tends to add scrapped ideas in the sequel... so Dixie may be scrapped in Brawl... but she might come back in SSB4... just like how he decided Villager wouldn't be plausible as a fighter in Brawl.
I could see that, but I think two DK newcomers is possible if the roster is big enough.
Which removed statement do you mean?
Again, there's a huge difference between hating something and hating it in a specific context.
If the scrapped idea comes back, that means that she'll be paired with Diddy again since that was the original idea. And to be honest, if that means K.Rool can still be playable, I have no problem with that.That way everybody wins.
It could happen, but we'll never know until the game releases.
The statement I removed in the original quote.
What's your favorite kind of flower Mac? Mine's chocolate, and I like it with steak.
People seem to be rustling their jimmies mostly over this whole "Hitler" and "penis face" issue from what I've understood. And because they aren't fully fledged "characters"...
Yes, it would've been time consuming. It wouldn't have been the most time consuming aspect of development, but definitely more than something based, decided, and followed through on due to a whim.
Dunno
Well first that wasn't directed specifically at you, it seemed to be the general mindset of these anti-Mii arguments once it got distilled down, and two, I didn't throw out any insults there, I didn't call anybody any names, I didn't even call anyone out. That's not flaming to me.
Except that things have did that people like Diddy as who he is in Brawl, and many of them would become frustrated to see Diddy who isn't completely Diddy, if you see what I mean.
"Miis are stupid and pointless in the context of Super Smash Bros."
Yeah, so you don't think the Miis should be added. That's your opinion, don't treat it like fact.
Perhaps, but I'm sure that even as a tag-team, Diddy would still be the same character...probably just lacking the Banana peel is all. I'm not sure how Diddy mains would take that, but tagging out between Kongs isn't something overly necessary. If you want to play as Diddy only, don't swap out. If you want to play as Charizard, don't swap out, if you want to play as Zelda only, don't swap out. It's quite simple.
What if I said "I don't mind the concept, but I feel there's things that should be put in the game first before it's used"?
Not a Nintendo All-Star, maybe a gaming all-star.
I don't recall ever treating it as fact. But I'm not going to expend the effort to include disclaimers in every post I make, or add "I think" to the beginning of every sentence.
Oh well. I'm not trying hard to deny anything, it's really easy. Just an example here, I'm not saying no one likes Toad, but just imagine this: Everyone loves Super Mario 3D World, the game sold well, a few people like Toad, but not a lot. Did Toad sell 3D World? Is he iconic because he was included as a playable character in the game? Well, that was kind of a ****ty example, but if you take it out of the context of Mario then it makes sense. I think.
Well I never flamed anyone, but I did do an "impression" in the same vein as "I like/dislike this character because *insert stupid reasons*" It's no big deal, it just seemed off to me that what I said came across as flaming when it was basically the same thing you just said. Though that's something that's said and done.
I personally wouldn't mind if Dixie was added to tag along with Diddy, and actually think that Diddy would still be "completely" himself - actually a tad MORE than that with Dixie around, naturally. I think the pair would follow the DKC tag-along style, where when you play with a character, the other one just tags along. So Diddy would still be Diddy, unless you change into Dixie of course. Basically an added plus with no harm whatsoever.
This is the basis of my entire argument against Pacman. He's an Arcade star, not a Nintendo star.
Wait, what. You choose Links name and what he says for dialogue options. Depending on which dialogue you choose, Link can have a different personality. And most people choose the option they themselves would choose, so how come Link isn't their avatar?
Wait what? Are you saying Link is as customizable as a Mii? Are you serious?
Yeah, an arcade GP star
Err, Link is a silent protagonist. The only time he ever spoke was saying "come on!" in Wind Waker, and something about a mirror under a table in Zelda 2.
Not even close. I'm saying Link is the players avatar.
What about all the times you talk to characters, and then an option appears?
Well, only in name, just like Ness and every Pokemon there is to exist.
Kojima. Snake breaks the rules.
Being a gaming all star is all that you need.
Or he proves there's more than one way for third-parties to be included.
There were never any rules to break.
Not really, especially when we consider the fact that Snake was on Nintendo consoles before Sony consoles.
...You took that seriously? It didn't even have any impact on the story. It was also only ever in one game in the entire franchise.
I've only played Wind Waker HD, but I know Skyward Sword has dialogue choices. Thats not only one game ever. It might not have impact on the story, but it really implants that your Link has a "personality" of your choice. If you want your Link to be an Ass, you can talk like one whenever given the opportunity.
That may be so, but Sakurai said a third-party has to be a "very special situation" and stressed this multiple times in the same interview, leading me to believe more third parties increasingly unlikely.
Yes, you literally stated that you would blatantly disregard the notion I illuminated because I was alluding to sales and his reoccurring role. Obviously, these refute the point that Ghirahim is the more popular character, and you said you wouldn't believe me as I was using them. That is confirmation bias.
Someone already brought this up; however, it is important to note that Nintendo relevance (obviously) isn't important when dealing with 3rd party characters. That is the entire point of their inclusion if I recall correctly. Pac-Man doesn't just have his all-star status going for him, he has something much more overt. The entire premise that Namco is co-developing the game is over half of the reason people even speculate in his favor. So even if Nintendo relevance was criteria, he would be exempt (logically) as they (Namco) are actually helping to conceive Smash 4.
I would like to quite literally end the argument.
I refuted your points because you were saying something I thought both of us disagreed on, something crazy, and didn't really back it up or make it easier for me to understand. Dont you ever accuse me of being biased. I'm not as obsessed with this character as you may think. I think of him as more popular based on what I have read from many different sources. And this is still in the context of Smash. I really don't want to drag this back up if accusations are going to be called at me.
I will accuse you of being biased, once again! You are biased by definition if you blatantly disregard an argument because you do not like the implications, it is truly that simple. I did attempt to make it more concise.
