I agree with this. I don't like transforming/team characters in general, though. I do, however, like the concept of Chrom and Lucina as a team.
I'm a fan of the Diddy Dixie tag team. If Sakurai makes them play like in the DK Country games where one is just sort of in the background while the other is in front, it can be a unique style of play. However I agree it is somewhat similar to the Zelda transformation. Maybe it can be differentiated a little more somehow. Diddy's move set does not have to change safe for one move.So when Chrom is his own character, people won't want him changed into a Chrom+Lucina duo because he has a "perfectly good" moveset.
The Diddy + Dixie duo should really spice up Diddy Kong.
I'm not being hostile. I just talk in a very straight tone, matter of fact tone from my opinion, which I know isn't fact or necessarily better. I'm not angry or condescending (as you later said in your post), I'm just expressing my opinion. If I was rude or angry, I would be cursing you and/or whoever I was talking down.@Johnknight1 , no offense to you, but could you tone down the hostility? I'm just trying to have a friendly (or at least civil) debate and your tone makes that difficult. Could you try talking like "Actually, I think that this is the case" instead of "Your point is null and you're being an idiot"? It makes you more likeable.
I've played those games, and again, Tiki is not a major character. The only playable characters we'll ever get from Fire Emblem are main (Lord) characters. Heck, the only assist trophy thus far we've gotten from Fire Emblem was a main (Lord) character.
Well Sakurai with Brawl asks Intelligent Games who to add, but they don't have final say on it (other than approving his final choice, which quite frankly they would be foolish to say "no", because he could just easily go add a character from another company).
Most polls include only potential newcomers, thus Mewtwo and Roy are eliminated. But every poll I've seen that feature characters that weren't in Brawl have Mewtwo #1. After that, K. Rool, Ridley, Palutena, and Roy have been the only #2's I've ever seen, along with Mega Man before he was confirmed as a playable character.
For the same reason he added back Falco, Young Link (viva Toon Link), Ganondorf, and Luigi: popularity, ease of making,(re-adding characters is a lot less time consuming, expensive, and time consuming than adding newcomers), and easier to improve upon.
The "reoccurring major characters" could apply to Fire Emblem, but I generally don't associate it with it. I mean that in the sense like how Luigi, Bowser, and Peach are reoccurring major characters, but are usually not playable. Or someone like Diddy, Dixie, Cranky, or K. Rool in the Donkey Kong franchise.
I think the problem with this is you are reading my opinions as if I am saying them like they are facts. I don't view them that way. I view it as me just expressing my opinions. And lastly, I'm not being argumentative, I'm being debative, even though that isn't a word.
It's teetered on the edge a few times, but it's holding together.
Why can't they just give him more interesting moves? It wouldn't be hard.
We'll try not to let it get there.
You're right to cross that last bit out, because it doesn't help K. Rool or any other character at all. Dixie solo would take up far less development time than Dixie plus duo mechanic that was technically challenging to the point where it had to be cut from the previous game, and now has to be included on a handheld system where similar mechanics are already proving difficult.
inb4 "video deleted"
It wasn't exactly serious, which is why I crossed it out, just sort of a poke at the K. Rool vs Dixie "rivalry"
I'm quoting you because I want all of what you said to be brought to everyone's attention, because it's true.
This, I am surprised that no one mentioned it prior to your post. There is a reason it didn't work in Brawl, and things have not gotten much better. I don't want to be a pessimist or anything, but that is exactly how I feel about Ridley as well.
... Aw dang i-*this post was last edited by a moderator.*
Diddy and Olimar are the only remotely interesting top tier character in Brawl to watch IMO and would easily transfer to a new Smash game without being stale.
We all collectively need to hope, want, and pray to any and all Gods (namely me!)
that this is a thing.Chrom and Lucina is a good tag team idea (like Plusle & Minun and the Baby Mario Bros.) because they're essentially the same, but could be slightly different.
I'm expect a mod to post a video of Buzz Lightyear saying, "you're...mocking me aren't you?"
Why Ridley? I don't understand why people say he would hard to develop, other than his moves.
Because everyone thinks that him not being shrunk in a spin-off before Smash like Bowser makes him impossible to shrink, despite the fact that Bowser is often quite larger than Ridley in his "canon" appearances. The reason no one says "BOWSER'S TOO BIG" is because he's been shrunk in spin-offs before. The same can't be said for Ridley, despite how easy it would be.
No doubt they're fun to watch tear **** apart, but they're two characters who I just can't stand playing myself. They're not really characters I want to invest a lot of time in, and if you don't do that with Olimar or Diddy they do become pretty boring to play since you don't learn how to properly use the bananas or learn how to use each Pikmin, and as a result I also suck horribly at them. But yeah, they're quite fun to watch, that's true.
Ridley is hard to develop, that is essentially objective fact. I am no game-developer, nor would I ever want to be. However, many have cited certain notions being the cause in fact of his challenging model (mostly pertaining to his awkward body shape and strange appendages). Again, I just take Sakurai's word for it, if it isn't inherently difficult, that is irrelevant. Sakurai interprets it as a challenge prior to fallaciously asserting that Ridley "might have been pretty slow." That isn't something I want a developer to proclaim. Regardless, it is quite clear and overt that he was probably impossible on the Wii, the 3DS hardware is detrimental to a perceived progress. I am sure he could manage it, I just feel as if he would resemble Donkey Kong 2.0.
I would assume that videos related to actual gameplay or character topics would be an exception, right=???
Anna doesn't have any realistic chance. There's hundreds of potential newcomers that are more likely.
I feel like the whole "awkward" body shape issue would be alleviated by using any design other than the Super Metroid one, since they generally lack that pesky buzzard neck, and often have a slightly more humanoid shape.
Ridley wouldn't be required to be hard to make and take a lot of time develop, but he could if they truly used him to be totally unique in every way.
Honestly, the Melee and Brawl Ridley design is fine. The Other M design, sans a few issues, is fine.
That is humorous, entirely arbitrary, but humorous nonetheless. If I recall correctly, did people not say the same exact thing about Wii Fit Trainer? Actually, they didn't, as literally no one expected such an absurd addition. I am sure that many would have asserted that hundreds of potential newcomers were more likely than her. Maybe Villager, I believe he was in a similar situation... what about Rosalina? The only newcomer that we have that was obvious was Mega Man. Quite strange as he happens to be a 3rd party character, but yet he was more likely than hundreds of potential newcomers. In any event, we are only speculating. Anna does have a realistic chance, by definition. The notion that Chrom or "generic favorite Fire Emblem character" might also have a realistic chance is irrelevant. Anna is a practical character that has logic to support her inclusion. She isn't some no name secondary character from an obscure game not already represented in Smash.
Apparently, BigAxle expected them, but no one believes him.
Precisely the point, I don't necessarily believe BigAxle and I already asserted why that is (to him). I mean, it is certainly possible, but again, I question the man's sanity. Perhaps I should have inserted, "literally no rational human being utilizing logic as opposed to a sense of blind faith." That is a little too specific though.
Indeed, one could assert this for any character, but I was very specific. I do not believe that an obscure character from a no name series not already represented in Smash has a realistic chance. I do; however, believe that Anna has a realistic chance. Any character supported with logical reasoning is a realistic character in my opinion. Obviously we all interpret logic in a different way, it is a subjective system. If they only have one good reason, it probably isn't the most realistic character. If the character is like Mewtwo, with a dozen reasons to be included and nothing directly opposing him, I would say that is a rational choice with realistic chances.
He is quite strange, isn't he? And I think plenty of people are utilizing logic in speculation now, considering we have something to work with.
I can completely understand you not believing me. My logic is often very ludicrous and off-sense, but sometimes it nails a point down entirely.
It's much harder to judge what Sakurai is doing at an early point. And I don't think Mother Brain being an AT means anything for Ridley, other than more representation for Metroid in general.
Oh god, I can never un-imagine that.
I'd be cool with it, but it will be particular strange to see K. Rool using Up-Special.
