Character Discussion Thread

[pupNapoleon]

You know, I was just remembering the internet's reaction to Decapre made playable in USFIV.
That was pretty much SF's equivalent of Dark Pit.

Why is Ivysaur in your picture lit up?

Why is Ivysaur in your picture lit up?

Because he's a confirmed Trophy.

And a regular trophy is at least better than not being present at all.

 

[Andinus]

I don't think any of the mods ever said there were more characters, just that they had heard from one of their sources there might be more. We won't really know until Sakurai either addresses the issue or the Wii U version is released.

But why all the secrecy for hearsay? It seems kind of silly doesn't it? So they must have been told some specifics, couldn't they at least reveal to us now what they were told? (assuming its been busted).

 

[Weeman]

I'm fairly sure the argument being made is that Ridley, Mewtwo, and the like are more 'all-star' than Dark Pit, Greninja, Rosalina, Wii Fit Trainer and a whole other slew of "Flavor of the year" characters who may not be at all relevant to Nintendo months or years down the line.

I doubt anybody would try arguing the case that Ridley is as important or as highly recognized as Mario or Sonic. :v

I agree with that, but my point is that in the end, they wouldn't be needed for a "Nintendo All Star" roster, simply because Samus, DK and other Pokémon are there. They would still be great additions for sure, but some people treat them as if they were such important figures that a roster without them is bound to be incomplete, or simply not be an "All Star" roster.

The Final 5 Most Talked About Potential Newcomers:

1. Ridley (77,118)
2. King K. Rool (17,773)
3. Bandana Dee (8,034)
4. Isaac (7,726)
5. Chrom (4,878)
5. Krystal (6,105)

Someone should make fanart of these 5.​

Ha, I made this joke before he was revealed.
This is exactly who I compare him to.

Considering how the mods were crapped on, and continue to be crapped on for the "Bandana Dee" leaker awhile back, I don't blame them for being careful with what gets out, especially when they are not 100% on that information.

So I've been looking at BluePikmins signature.

"Sakurai has his job for a reason. He's good at it. If "fans" got to decide the roster, it would be filled with "badass" villains, C-tier anime-looking characters,sexualized women, and whatever else angsty teenagers like these days. Yuck." - CAW Evolution"

> "Badass villains"
> C-tier anime-looking characters

Oh Sakurai you skeevy bastahd :v

Dark Pit isn't a villain.

 

[ActionHankBeard]

Man. All I know is we deserve a Wii U release date tomorrow after this let down of the 3ds version.

Dark Pit isn't a villain.

Anti-Hero, Villain. Tomayto, tomahto.

Don't forget that Zero Suit Samus and pole-dancing Palutena could count for "sexualized women".

 

[GunGunW]

Dark Pit isn't a villain.

Two out of three ain't bad.

For my closing (and strangely enough very serious) statement towards the game, let us not look down upon the factors that we believe Sakurai to have missed, but for the great additions presented within the game. Let us look forward to new gameplay elements and revamped characters set to a new design. Let us embrace the 3rd party representation of iconic characters, many of which who we adored or were enamored with when we were children, and the worlds they bring from it to enjoy. Let us pay tribute to the service Sakurai has presented us and the entertaining modes we can now enjoy for a long time. Let us, above all, be grateful of the new experience presented within this fresh new game, the memories that will be made when playing with friends, the characters and stages being far extensive then that of the N64 and Melee games (for a portable game to boot), and the future of competitive play within a new smash game on the go.

Thank you and Goodnight

I agree completely, some people lament what they didn't get too much and don't appreciate what they DID get.

 

[RoseyBetch]

Ok, i'll just say it, they are not "neccesary" for an "All star" roster. Would they be great to have? Well of course, but in the end this game already represents Nintendo's franchises and history pretty well.
Yes even DK and Metroid, and i'm pretty sure Pokémon is also well represented already.
And before anybody tries to tell me how badly represented DK is in comparison, i understand, and i kind of agree, but in the end DK and Diddy are the most prominent figures of his franchise, and thus, represent the franchise pretty well, that's all.

While DK is represented well, I think people are upset because we all know we could have easily gotten at least a new item or stage. Anything for DK in the 3DS game (aside from Kremlings in Smash Run) was in a past game. The two veterans and one returning stage. Same for Metroid, unfortunately. While I agree the roster is fine, I agree that some characters that are extras (yes even Rosalina) aren't as important to their own series as Dixie, K. Rool, and Ridley are to their respective series.

Dude, what is this based on?
Dixie and Ice Climbers are much more discussed than BD and Chrom.
Chrom was deconfirmed harder than anyone. And literally a terrible option. He was early on, and now he would be a worse option, being a FIFTH fire emblem character, a third clone of Marth, and the third rep from a SINGLE game.
Honestly, absolute terrible choice.

If this list has any legitimacy, it makes me happy we have yet to see Ridley and K Rool, in the sense that Sakurai listening to the fans would make this roster an actually terrible one. Simply terrible.

It's based on Smashboards replies. Also Ice Climbers aren't a newcomer silly cakes.

 

[DarkBlueSpark]

I've been gone almost the whole day, little bit confused as to what happened. So the ESRB leaked roster is the final roster? Did the "All fighters have been unlocked" message appear and did the lock on All Star mode disappear?

Can't find any videos, and I missed the streams

Yes. The ESRB leaked roster is the final roster, and the "All fighters have been unlocked" message appeared.

 

[G0LD3N L0TUS]

I've been narrow-minded on how I looked upon the roster. The stages and removal of Isaac and Ray Assists really sucks, but the roster itself is fine. It focuses more on Gameplay. This game will be the most fun of them all thus far, even without our most wanted characters. The gameplay is now here, and SSB5 can focus on filling in the gaps in the roster, or maybe that'll what the DLC does, who knows? For Smash Bros as a whole, the potential to grow is obvious. Lucas and Wolf can return even better than before (though I doubt we'll see IC or Snake again, sadly), and I have confidence that they will!

I'm allowed to add both Lucas and Masked Man to SSB5, right?

[BluePikmin11]

Dark Pit isn't C-Tier anime looking at all, he's A-Tier awesome looking!

 

[G0LD3N L0TUS]

Because he's a confirmed Trophy.

And a regular trophy is at least better than not being present at all.

Squirtle is also a trophy. Not interested in finding it for you, but I remember seeing it.

 

[---]

Fair enough I guess, but I'd still like to know.

We did get some small info ahead of the rest of the forum last month, but we can't say what it was/who was related (though it shouldn't be much of a secret). It's all out in the open now, has been for quite a while, so we are hiding nothing at this point.

Several users claimed that the CSS wasn't complete, not the "mods." 98% of the staff had nothing to do with it.

Whoops, meant chorus kids.

Posts dont equate to desire. I dont post in Isaacs thread at all, doesnt mean I dont want him greatly.
Chrom was in the public eye, in a bad way, too. Of course there

No.

I said discussed.

There are more replies, thus more discussion. That's a fact.

Shulk beat K rool a ways back, but now that he's confirmed his newcomer page is in his character discussion thread.
Edit: Scroll down in here and look, 19,000 and counting

 

[BluePikmin11]

So will the character threads close at Japan time at September 12th? (Technically tomorrow would be that day.)
I need time to do my Risk Rosters andReasons Why Characters were considered unlikely and likely threads before it closes?

 

[MewtwoX825]

Even if Ridley or Dixie Kong was playable (still no trophies of them btw) it wouldn't be the end of the world if characters move to a different spot out of know where, it happens in multi-character/fighting games all the time heck it happened in Melee when Pikachu was with the Mario characters and moved to the bottom row later on.

Another example is in Injustice, Scorpion and Zatana were on the Hero and Villain side respectively , and were switched later on.

With the likelihood of DLC, I hope they either wait to lock them or create a new DLC subforum.
