How heavy is Megaman? Not trying to be sarcastic here, I'm curious.
Have "PSI" aka "PK" powers. Their throws DEFINITELY show off that. Got it.
The fact we have to be this desperate for a DKC newcomer despite getting Kremlings in Smash Run is just... Ugh.
Yeah good point on weapons (not sure on Samurai or a Pirate though), and too right on grappler. That's actually one thing I've been craving for and it's still missing in Smash, but I forgot about it in my post.
Well I don't necessarily agree on that since we actually have an example of each of these (Snake(rip)/Dedede, Ness and Charizard/Dedede again, respectively) But yeah stuff like that.
The theory being that they'd be quasi clones of Lucario and Charizard respectively. I'd imagine the main differences would be thus:
I don't know how heavy Mega Man is, but he's quite small. I want a huge, ranged character.How heavy is Megaman? Not trying to be sarcastic here, I'm curious.
"Mind Powers." Ahem.
"Big, flying, creatures." I can beter explain. "Big, flying reptiles with thin necks, are fairly draconic in design, and breathe fire."
I think that sort of gimmick would be better for Isaac, where the Djinn can swap out and change his specials a bit.
I just want Dixie so much, though. My nostalgia levels were off the charts using her in Tropical Freeze (DKC2 & 3 were my childhood) and her being in smash would be so amazing.The fact we have to be this desperate for a DKC newcomer despite getting Kremlings in Smash Run is just... Ugh.
I honestly think it's really likely to get a DK newcomer. Why do you say it's not?
can be like an LCD game, I don't see why not!
Just on the good chance that if the CSS leak are the only characters left.
This give me hope for Paper Mario as own series
Blame the leaks and spoilers for ruining everyone's expectations.
I agree with this entire post. That said, Sakurai clearly stated in his discussion of Lucina why she was upgraded, which is indication enough that other character alts were likely in use for other characters. I believe one of the FIRST character alternates we would have in the game would be Impa for Shiek. If we are starting a process where any characters are then given the same lucky treatment, it could easily suffice that Impa would have, if she had already been a character alternate. It is clear the game has many alternate costumes, and given the leaks and Sakurai's own statement toward the idea, quite possible some of these could be characters. What about this keeps Impa from being a highly likely option?I'm sorry, when did this happen? Last time, I checked, there was only one newcomer shown that was a clone,
This character being one of the three faces on the massively selling game that saved a franchise and put a lot of wind under the 3DS's wings, and VERY popular (in Japan moreso than the US). If you want evidence of this, look at two specific chapters of DLC for Awakening: The Summer and Hot Spring Scramble maps.
For the former, there was a poll for the two most popular males and females of the "adult" generation, outside of
Gaius and Chrom were chosen for the males, Tharja and Cordelia for females.
The latter did the same for the children, excluding Morgan for the same reasons as their linked parent.
Owain and Inigo won for males, for females there was Cynthia and...Guess who..png)
Even with this all, she was planned to be an alternate costume until LATE in development. Sakurai himself stated that this case was lucky for her.
If the only officially confirmed clone is a highly popular character who is one of the three faces of a wildly selling game that was uncharacteristic for the franchise and was lucky.
So please cite that statement, because the one clone we have had a LOT going for her that Impa simply doesn't, being a plot-important side character who is rarely seen in a very polarizing title of the series that didn't justify the redesign of either of Zelda's two most prominent characters.
I'd love to see the Hyrule Warriors version of Impa in Sm4sh, but that game appeared up in an awkward timing with Sm4sh's development (Sakurai stated that the roster was decided, to some extent, by day 1/early development) and Zelda really has all the components to represent its franchise in
Though in Brawl it could be said Mario was set with
Impa makes sense as a 6th Zelda character,and is one of very few choices for this, but I don't see it getting one until a character makes enough major roles in repeating Zelda titles with a fairly stagnant design. If HW came out last year, I'd be more supporting in this.
I forgot to mention: it's not even likely to be a clone.Who is Nightmare?
Was that Saturn's roster? I still believe that Funky's funky attitude would bring a lot to Smash.
I am still waiting on Paper Mario so that we can have Paper Mario and Dr. Mario as the dangerous duo. If not, I suppose Dr. Mario and Dark Pit will suffice. It reminds me of Subspace Emissary.
What? i thought she was your most wanted character?
Sakurai has stated point blank that he is not doing that in this game, and that each character is being derived from scratch. I believe this is the reason we will get this game competitive, actually- but this is my personal take. Rather than having many across the board mechanics, such as in melee, each character will have a world of individual utilities to perfect.
This question isn't addressed to me but the fact that DK hasn't had ANY new content show thus far outside of Kremlings and Tikis in Smash Run and only has an old Brawl stage in the 3DS version as seen on the leaked stage select screen makes me doubt Sakurai prioritized the DK franchise at all this time around. All the established series that had newcomers so far had a lot of attention paid to them; even FE had noticeable attention paid to it.
OMG. I think she would be a great addition. Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks so.What? How did you know Baby Rosalina was my most wanted character?
Great minds think alike.
Sexy Diaper Alt FTW!
Can we seriously take what he said 100% to heart given Palutena, Mii Fighters, Lucina, and Shulk? Again, unique mechanics help disguise the fact that their movesets were heavily derided from other characters. The difference is that it would be safe to assume that Ridley and Mewtwo were late additions--or at least late finishes (Lucina was likely the final character revealed that way).
Only those who want Donkey in could be considered a great mind.
Having similar or even identical moves to another character doesn't always mean anything has been derived from another.
I'm personally hesitant to use Lucina's lucky treatment to justify another character's chances. What you said about it makes sense, but it isn't a belief that I share.
/, , and were the only ones in Melee, due to Roy's game coming out AFTER Melee's release. (Falco was playable in the unreleased Star Fox 2 which some people have copies of). in Brawl I believe was the only case. (ROB was one of the racers in Mario Kart DS). and are the only examples in the Smash 4 newcomers that have been officially confirmed.How was Palutenas moveset heavily derided from anyone? Maybe one or two of her specials, but her shield/staff moves are unique, all her smash attacks are too, and most of her 12 specials are unique as well actually.
I said K. Rool was iconic in the Donkey Kong series. He's still an iconic character in Nintendo, but it seems they keep putting him in the shadows. He is still very popular, mostly over here but he's still popular in Japan as well.
I could see a potential grappler character. Or maybe a character with an air throw/grab.
So... what is a Grappler, anyway? Why don't you count Wii Fit? And who would fulfill that spot, Kawishama or Birdo or Master Hand? Can Steve or Shovel Knight be considered trap people? How would Pokemon Trainer return? By himself, or with Gen 3 Pokemon? And can the last section be 3rd parties, such as Lloyd Irving, Tails, Bomberman, Rayman, Layton, or Wily?
Having never played Xenoblade, I don't know if Ridley or a Xenoblade character was teased.
Don't you think that's contradicting?
....I have absolutely no idea what you are trying to claim with this statement.
I contest this and think it is a very inaccurate assumption, with no evidence here to back it up for me to even follow your statement. Please clue me in to why you would believe this.
You list quite a lot to explain what you already have, but ultimately, you will not convince me that Impa is not an important character in Zelda. In fact, if you are trying to equate, in terms of plot, her relevance, compared to Lucina's, I don't know where your agument could stand. The claims for Impa have been made for you time and time again, and it is fine if you happn to just disagree. Ultimately, I think recurring in a series, especially Pokemon, Mario, and Zelda, is the most important thing. Impa is the sole representative of the supporting cast who would be sensible to add, particularly as a Sage- which is as important as the triforce itself. She is far more important, in my eyes, than having a second Link, or Sheik, yet we have those characters.
..are you just asking questions to ask questions? By the end they are not even sensible. I never mention third parties.
Not necessarily, I think he's made a huge impact on the Donkey Kong series. Enough to consider him a iconic Nintendo character. Also, he's appeared in some Mario spin-offs that aren't super old like . And, the Donkey Kong Country series was re-released on the VC on the Wii I think. However, they might be gone. I'm not too sure.
Where's the huge impact K. Rool did though? You're not specifying.
And to elaborate for Gold, this character (Metal Face) is basically the primary antagonist for the first half of the game as a high ranking Commander of the Mechon forces which wreak havoc for all Homs (humankind).
A character that pretty much fights by grappling. Think Zangief in Street Fighter or King in Tekken. They're normally based on wrestlers, and have their share of command grabs.
Namely he served as the primary antagonist for 5 Donkey Kong games. (DKC 1-3, Donkey Kong Land 1 because 2 and 3 were just ports of DKC 2 and 3, and DK 64) and lead the Kremling forces.
