Clones also add depth by taking an existing meta and changing it slightly. Pit and Dark Pit are a great example. You're going to have to change followups, reads, and strategies based on three minor differences.
And vs Samus it should be: 'Fancy meeting YOU here princess!'.
I'd rather Stylux than Anthony.
It is just like what I have always said for years... a lot of people who had the NES most likely had Duck Hunt.
The problem with the smashboards polls is that they are targetted at such a minuscule portion of the Smash fanbase that just about any other information source is more reliable. Not saying it is reliable, just saying that it's the most reliable out of anything we've had so far.
With a taunt of "You got no style!"
Thanks!
Looks like someone has seen the source.
But what about grace?
That is a problem with the Smashboards poll, but the difference is they are meant for that, so the poll has more validity then the game does since it's measuring how people want in Smash. It's not too far off as characters like Mega Man, Little Mac, Palutena and Shulk all did well on the poll (maybe Bowser Jr too, not sure). You can also look at things like Robin, Villager and Duck hunt who were things people talked about. So I don't think there is a major problem with the poll.
I do like Duck Hunt, and I think that's Sakurai's talent. In fairness, I like Pac-Man too, but I didn't want him because he felt a bit forced (still kind of does) and the fear of getting awful Pac-Man from the cartoon (which, did I mention is awful).It is just like what I have always said for years... a lot of people who had the NES most likely had Duck Hunt.
Looks like Duck Hunt Dog was actually a good idea all along.
Or in Dr. Mario's case where some minor tweaks make him pretty different, gameplay-wise, from Mario, despite sharing what's essentially the same moveset with two (one?) exceptions.
This, pretty much.
To be honest, I would have loved Alpha as an Olimar clone.
Aye. For better or for worse, though, time restraints and technical complexities rendered that a no-go.
What technical limitations kept Alph from being a clone- hos technicality of not being in Kid Icarus? Sakurai went on record to tell us how easily/difficultly the clones were made, and Olimar/Alpha stats could have been adjusted and rebalanced just as easily as Pittoo's. At least then we would've had a character likely to stay in Nintendo's long game plan and next Smash.
I do not think technical limitations prevented Alph's conversion into a clone, rather the time it would take to test and apply extra programming to the Pikmin's AI doomed him. Lucina and Dark Pit (the latter who is almost a complete clone) were only one character apiece, and would require minimal adjustments from their counterparts (Marth and Pit) to be ready for battle. Alph on the other hand would require not only that but also programming for the Pikmin's AI. I admit I do not know how long it would've taken, but that's my theory, and that may also explain why Dark Pit has only 3 moves different from Pit: they may have not had enough time to create more differences. Call BS if you will, but this is the most logical explanation I could come up with.
Yeah, @
PSIBoy
beat me to the punch.I also think Sakurai tends to keep the uniqueness of Olimar's main attribute, the Pikmin, and that he wouldn't make a clone of him as it would break this uniqueness, and so with others like Rosalina, Little Mac, Robin, Shulk and so on.
That doesn't sit right with me. Clones, by virtue of their very existence, cannot be unique. Adding Dark Pit and Lucina but not Alph because of Olimar being unique would be highly contradictory.
I figure Super Smash Bros largely sells itself these days, it's been around long enough and made a name for itself. At least it does among the more casual (laid back?) people who'll probably just see a new iteration of a game they really like rather than a vehicle for all their favourite Nintendo characters.
And his winning stances could have him and that chocolate bar. That would be cool, bro.
The best part is, in his taunts Doc Louis cheers himself on.
I think Doc Louis is definitely possible for a DLC character. They can just remove him from Little Mac's winning animation. His Final Smash could be his Star Punch. Also, Doc Louis knows how to fight HARD. Just watch this.
Yup, but you would think he's gotta do something with that chocolate.
Of those characters, 4 are dead, 4 are one off characters, and 3 will probably never return in a future Metroid game. Of that list, Sylux maybe has a better shot, and that's a slim maybe.
Being dead didn't stop Ganondorf from Melee, y'know.
Ganondorf never died in Ocarina of Time.
Uhh, yes he did. He was just resurrected in Twilight Princess/Wind Waker by the Triforce of Power
No, he absolutely did not. He was sealed away by the sages.
Like Kenith said, Ganondorf didn't actually die. And unlike Ganondorf, those Metroid characters are probably going to stay dead, Sylux and Anthony are the only ones with a half decent shot of returning in future games in a form that could be playable.
Sakurai, will Mewtwo be Top Tier? And will you please consider adding King K.Rool, Isaac, Impa and Dixie Kong as DLC characters?
True I support all those characters, but was that supposed to be a joke?
But to make things fair, he can wear his headgear, which absorbs knockback.
I would love to see a Smash character that does pathetic damage but survives to ridiculous percents and piss everyone off.Glass Joe as the new joke character pl0x.
He's Air Mac both in the air and on the ground.
Turn Glass Joe into Ass Joe, am I right?

I want this so much now.
I second .... I just want it to be a character from a new series. Like Chibi Robo
