In resume, we need underage female blue haired swordsmen mages tactician Lords...
Which is pretty much female body type 1 Robin with blue hair with the right equipment minus the Lord part.

Definitely Hector; he is man personified. :p That and we sort of need an older gentleman in SSB.


Or Cervantes and his glorious walrus beard.
Alright, we've addressed the healers, we've addressed the lords, we've addressed the tacticians, we've addressed the big bad bruisers, we gave a small nod to the dancers.

Mamkutes or Laguz ? Probably not since transforming characters are all gone now.

I know that Mewtwo blows the "Trophies =/= DLC" theory out of the water, but a lack of a few certain trophies has me curious....
I mean, we got a bunch of Other M trophies, but none of them are of Anthony?
We get trophies of Magolor, the Lor Starcutter, and even Galacta Knight, but no Waddle Dee?

I know Melee has at least one example of a missing trophy that makes no sense (Diddy Kong), but did Brawl have any examples of this?

Roy comes to mind, and to add more salt to the wound, he was considered for Brawl like Mewtwo and still didn't get one.

Paula and Poo don't have trophies, but Jeff has one (well, maybe this is because he is an AT).
The Striker Daisy trophy instead of a normal Daisy trophy.
The Falco (Command) trophy inclusion, but the lack of, for example, Fox (Command).
The inclusion of the Baby Mario and Baby Peach trophies with the lack of Baby Luigi trophy.
Tiny and Lanky trophies, but no Chunky trophy.
Etc.

Hey, it was worth hoping for some Donkey Kong stuff besides the bare minimum. ****ing Gogoat, should have been Rambi...
Yeah, I'm still waiting for some decent DK music.

But, about Golden's question.
I don't know, I just think trophies are pretty random and that the lack of some of them means nothing, sadly.

Brawl's trophies reused models from existing non-Smash games if the models weren't made for Brawl itself.
Roy didn't have any model outside of Melee, same with Dr. Mario (until Dr. Mario Online Rx, which came out after) who was also planned for Brawl and didn't make it.

Paula and Poo don't have trophies, but Jeff has one (well, maybe this is because he is an AT).
Jeff was an AT and Paula and Poo did not have models from their game to use.

The Striker Daisy trophy instead of a normal Daisy trophy.
A better example, but not quite the same as Diddy completely lacking a trophy in Melee while K. Rool and Dixie had one and my previous examples of Anthony and Waddle Dee.

The Striker Daisy trophy is treated as Daisy's trophy in general, just like her Tennis and Baseball trophies in 3DS and Wii U, respectively.

The Falco (Command) trophy inclusion, but the lack of, for example, Fox (Command).
Honestly, the trophies themselves don't really make sense other than for filler purposes considering they're extraneous trophies for characters that have trophies already. Wolf not having an Assault trophy and Fox, Wolf, and every other Star Fox character other than Falco not having a Command trophy doesn't really come up as an issue.

The inclusion of the Baby Mario and Baby Peach trophies with the lack of Baby Luigi trophy.
Probably the strongest example here, though it can probably be explained by Baby Peach being one of the babies that can ride Yoshi in Yoshi's Island DS while Baby Luigi isn't, since the Yoshi trophies are limited to just Yoshi, his Final Smash, Baby Mario, and Baby Peach in Brawl and focus on the Yoshi sub-series as opposed to appearances outside it.

It could be argued that since Baby Luigi is typically the one who needs rescuing that he should've got a trophy, though. *shrugs*

Tiny and Lanky trophies, but no Chunky trophy.
Tiny and Lanky have models from Barrel Blast to use. Chunky does not.

1. That's because Adam Malkovich, not Anthony would be the third metroid representative.
2. Kirby doesn't need four reps.

He obviously doesn't fit into FE but does have an awesome beard, and badass powers.

1. Opinion.
2. Opinion.
No, Anthony Higgs is not as important to Metroid as Adam Malkovich is.

Adam- 2 games
Anthony- 1 game

And for the second one, I just know you too well as a bandana Dee propaganda boy. I didnt say Kirby doesn't deserve a fourth rep, I just said it's not needed. I actually wouldn't mind Bandana Dee, but I don't think he has enough moveset potential going for him. If his spear were like the Monado, Krystal's staff, or like Samus' arm cannon, then maybe, but it's just a plain ordinary everyday spear, so no.

Toad- like 100 games
Rosalina- like 8 games?

Seriously?

I'm going to humor you and act like I'm taking you seriously.

You actually believe that Anthony and Waddle Dee are missing trophies because "Adam would be the third Metroid character" (which would not be the case) and because "Kirby doesn't need four characters"?
Let me repeat that.

Anthony Higgs, despite being one of the major elements of Other M, is excluded from being a trophy simply because Adam would be a character in Smash before him. And yet trophies of MB, Madeleine, Ridley's pre-evolved states, and a few bosses and enemies are acceptable?
Waddle Dee, despite being an important aspect of Return to Dream Land, is excluded from being a trophy because Kirby doesn't need a 4th character. So why do Magolor and Galacta Knight have trophies?

I don't doubt that a Toad will get his/her chance someday, whether it's Toadsworth, Captain Toad, or Toadette. The question isn't "Will toad ever happen?" it's more "When?" Just like when we finally got multiple representatives for Kirby in Brawl.

This is rather pointless as neither of them are even remotely important to the franchise as a whole, however, Adam is dead. If he appears in another game it will (Probably) be as a computer like he was in Fusion. Anthony however is still alive, and was just about the only well received character to come out of Other M. He has a fairly decent shot of returning in a future game.

Why are we talking about that pile of waifu garbage Other M? Nothing from Other M should be in this game character wise.

I refuse to get 100% trophies because of Adam Buttface

You have issues if you're serious.

It's a game. Might as well look at the positives. It's not the game who must not be named or anything.

It's just a bad game and the waifu thing you're talking about is actually a cultural dissonance.

Other M is plagued by bad writing and sloppy dialogue but its not sexist any more than any other Nintendo game is.

And Awakening is the waifu/husbands thing. Not Other M.

The reason I say "waifu" when talking about that game is because, well, of this

Samus's love for "the Baby"

The co-creator removed all of the prime games so he could have his own personal story with Samus

and wrost of all

Other M

M Other

Mother

The things you are complaining about in of themselves aren't terrible, Samus caring for the baby and the mother symbolism aren't necessarily bad things, but the way they were carried out was atrocious.

I'd personally prefer Nintendo to sweep Other M under the rug, but if there was any good thing to come out of Other M it was Anthony. I'd be perfectly fine with him appearing in future installments, and would only be slightly miffed if he got in as Smash DLC/Smash 6 before Ridley.
