As well, I figured maybe to aid those who are less musically-inclined, a "Perfect!" system could be put in place. Like how Mac has the Power Meter, the Chorus Kids could have their "Perfect!" Meter near their name. It'd flash purple when they're being kept in rhythm, to aid the player in battle. It also adds a nice reference to their games.
I agree. It was something that should've been a part of DK's FS in Brawl, but now has been implemented to his move in Sm4sh. It would also be quite fitting to use that idea since it could also indicate how much damage the move will deal.
I am always utterly conflicted in regards to Ganondorf discussion; on one hand, I do enjoy Ganondorf's interpretation in Smash and I do not mind clone characters; in fact, I advocate for them whenever possible. However, on the other, I am also a demented fan of his character from the source material, Legend of Zelda. As one of the most prominent Legend of Zelda characters and one of Nintendo's only notable antagonists, he is a very important character that deserves so much more. At the same time, there is the inevitable fear that any alterations to his character might result in me not wanting to main one of my favorite video-game characters any longer.
I can't get over how much I would rather have this Ganny in Smash than the one I assume we'll be getting. I know it's preemptive, but I can't imagine an implementation of the character I'd prefer more than a heavy dual-sword wielding tankish character with dark magic attacks thrown in.
Him being an afterthought in one game shouldn't condemn him to semi-clonage forever when he could be so much more interesting and unique...
I know that Hyrule Warriors is simply a spin-off, but the game would at least give Ganondorf an opportunity to stop being a Captain Falcon wannabe.

Or...we could just give him Snake's moves. Instead of grenades, it's just energy balls. Nothing could possibly go wrong with that....
You main Ganon as it is? That's pretty brutal.
Toon Link's reveal raised a red flag. All this time and not a change made to a character who clearly has potential to differentiate himself from the other Link. Even his FS remained the same. No Skull Hammer? No Deku Leaf? No Hyoi Pear? Disappointing.
Doesn't Rosalina slightly beat Ganondorf's 7,06 with a tall order of 7,07
Canonically yes, but since Smash Bros. isn't consistent with character sizes most of the time, some exceptions can happen.
I might enable the madness to consume every fiber of my being, but even I am not delusional enough to try and use him during competitive one versus one matches. I use him for Free For All matches, which is what I predominately play. You would be surprised at how viable he actually is. Albeit, Brawl's Ganondorf incarnation feels weak and weighed down compared to his Melee and Project M variants.
I feel the exact opposite. It is of my belief that clones are the most unique characters on the roster.
Why hate clones? They take practically no time to develop, so they are quickly implemented and give fans a likelier chance of having their favorite character featured in the game. I understand hating why ganondorf is a clone, because truly he shouldn't be. But hating clones in general is strange to me.
The only character that got revealed during an anniversary (that Sakurai acknowledged at least as far as I know) was Lucario. Some say Peach, Little Mac and Captain Falcon as well I think but I'm not sure about those really....

To me it always felt like the made they characters they were clones of less unique by having them there. Original Link is now seen as the lesser version just because an alternative with opposite attributes that fair better exists, so he loses a bit of his luster as a stand alone character. I like seeing unique animations and moves that suit the characters as well, when one is just like the other it just isnt as exciting and no longer really is something that reflects that one character it was made for.
Peach was revealed a day AFTER SMB anniversaryThe only character that got revealed during an anniversary (that Sakurai acknowledged at least as far as I know) was Lucario. Some say Peach, Little Mac and Captain Falcon as well I think but I'm not sure about those really....
I... don't get this argument? Toon Link makes sense as a clone. I don't give a **** about what he has available to use. He's just Link, that's it.
Hence, why I said that I'm not sure about those ones. I think the only one Sakurai actually intended for an anniversary was Lucario and the others where just conjecture as N3ON said. He hasn't really acknowledged a fair number of anniversaries already hence why I don't think he really follows them as much as he did for a number of upcoming game releases... (particularly Japanese ones)
Do you or do you not understand the argument? Toon Link makes as much "sense" as a clone as Ganondorf does; however, that is subjective.
Young Link is the main protagonist of the series. Toon Link is a playable character in about 5 or so games, but he's still just Link. He's literally just another version of Link. That's all he is! Do you not understand this argument?
I was joking around because of your improper use of a question mark, to be clear.
Regardless, they are both clones because they have similar "builds."
Kirby. I do not know much about the character or his series, but based on what I have seen; he has the potential to be one of the most unique characters. However, Sakurai's desire to make him a simple beginner's character has really attenuated my impression of him. Punches and kicks, punches and kicks. SLIDE. They even removed his awesome dash attack for the spin kick in Brawl to make him more bland. R.O.B. is the only other character that I would want redone. He should be more unique and fun (move-set wise). They have some great ideas that they never capitalized on. Such wasted potential.
It's been established that Toon Link isn't merely a second Link or "just Link." He has his own distinguishing characteristics and abilities that deserve to be recognized just as much as any other character. He's the main protagonist of his own story and is obviously popular enough to where he has a following that's autonomous from the more "mature" Link we know. If he doesn't merit a single change, then it's honestly hard for me to imagine that Ganondorf will receive drastic changes in the upcoming smash. You're free to disagree with me, and I'm sure you will, but I don't believe there's an overly high chance Ganondorf will see a revamp as much as it's warranted given what I've described already on top of the fact Sakurai believed it was ok to implement the same Captain Falcon inspired moveset so many years after Melee.
As I stated, I am no authority on matters pertaining to Kirby. You would know better than I. However, I had completely forgotten about Sonic. That is a great suggestion, one that I am sure that everyone will agree with. I could go for one or two less "spin attacks."
Zelda. Her current set is sorta a poor concept (basically, it's entirely made of finishers which is both A. Crappy and B. Unfitting for the character). I'd like to see her archery skills be put to use instead, as we don't have any bow centric characters. She'd focus on smart zoning and playing keep away, maybe have a few options to get out of pressure if necessary after testing.
Because at least Zelda is an original character based on the Zelda games... Zelda never even used a Bow in Ocarina of Time. Frankly, I couldn't care less if Ganondorf really got a sword (the fact that he uses a sword in his taunts is just taunting everyone, though). What I care about more is Ganondorf using his dark magic, and he doesn't do that, either.
I was half joking, but Ganondorf didn't use a sword in OoT either (unless you count Ganon). I definitely agree that Ganondorf should have magic in his moveset, as well. I'd like to see both revamped (so long as Falcondorf is given to Black Shadow), but obviously the ship has sailed on Zelda already.
