You know this how? Chun Li is way more popular than anyone you just mentioned and has a history of accompanying Ryu in fighters that aren't street fighter focused but has the series as a guest.
???...I just said I wanted any other Capcom series represented before Street Fighter. Never said anything about popularity.
Although I don't know if that's true anyway...

Sceptile has nothing to do with this though... For the rest, fair enough.
The example is relevant because you assumed that a water starter being cut for another water starter = a quota of water Pokemon needed to be filled. Sceptile is talked about because of the grass type quota.

I guess the people here saying Palutena is bad/the worst character in the game didn't fiddle with her customs?

I mean, I guess I can understand why people don't want to, but she isn't exactly beyond hope when she has Super Speed and Lightweight on her side.

I've played with her customs lots. Her customs make her better, but she still has incredibly slow attacks and has Mewtwo syndrome where she's tall and light, meaning she gets launched easily.

It is,

MvC
MvC2
MvC3
tatsunoko vs capcom
Capcom vs SNK
Capcom vs SNK 2

All have Ryu and Chun Li. SF2 the game that started fighting games pretty much, also has Chun LI
She also makes a cameo alongside Ryu and Ken in the movie "Wreck it Ralph".

Resident Evil characters more than any other would vastly contrast to Smash's theme. They have guns, real, non-fantastical guns.

Not sure if a handful of crossovers means Chun-Li is more famous than Resident Evil as a collective.
Also, Smash's theme is Nintendo characters fighting each other. We've had several characters who contrast that theme for a long time. Especially Snake.
But whatever. Not even arguing their merits. All I said was that I would prefer a Resident Evil character to another Street Fighter character, regardless if they're more "popular". :ohwell:

Funny thing about MvC3.

Jill Sandwich Valentine

Albert Wesker

Jill and Wesker both hardly use guns at all but have a moveset.
Adapt it to Smash bros and done.

You missed my point. My point was that Chun Li always accompanies Ryu. You challenged the validity of that claim and I provided examples. Also one of the most famous female videogame characters is nothing to sneeze at.

Snake doesn't have to use guns. Jill pretty much has to as well as Leon.

Alright... but what game is most likely up for drawing reference from?

probably one that was on the Gamecube or a Nintendo console, so unless the two versions of the said characters appear on a nintendo console I think we're back where we started.

And yet Snake had influences from MGS3. A game that wasn't on a Nintendo system until the 3ds.

I actually like Palutena, even though her default specials do suck a bit.

I've never really liked any of the Pokemon in Smash outside of the Trainer, but I've been trying to use Mewtwo and Charizard more.

Snake's design is based on a combination of the outfit Solid Snake wears in MGS2 and Big Boss's face and bandana in MGS3.

Literally the farthest away from games on Nintendo as you could get.

I would prefer that Jill or Leon used guns actually. Would lend more to a moveset and would be true to the games.
I'm sure Sakurai would agree with this, which is why they're very unlikely.

Still guns aren't really apart of his character, because as far as i know the point of Metal Gear isn't to shoot things. Jill and Leon as far as I'm concerned,they're not valid because of their need to have realistic guns.

Phoenix Wright is also a problem, like what are we going to get a re-run of MvC3 with him or what?

Dante could work, so could Joe, even Frank could work, but RE? Nah son.

It's kinda hard to decide who is he worst overall character in the game.

Because one day it's :4palutena::4dk:&:4drmario: the next it's :4charizard::4ganondorf:&:4wiifit: then it's some cases :4lucina::4samus::4olimar:. Nobody knows and it's stupid to decide. Even then the worst character is stills tie between :4miigun:&:4miisword:

All these people putting Ryu and Mega Man in S tier.

Lol, only Mario, Sonic, Pikachu and Pac-Man should be there.

It's a stealth third person shooter. It's designed so that you're encouraged to not shoot, but it gives you the option if you need it.

And given the series' penchant for set pieces and boss fights, you need the option to shoot a lot.

I only hear people praise The End's fight constantly, I REALLY should get my hands on a PS3 and get the MGS collection

Boss fights aside, that was my point. Compare that to Resident Evil and well... its a differnt story.

How about we talk about Ridley more Savvy Stylist
Yes at this point she's got very little chance, but would you find it neat to have weaponized modelling and fashion?

Most definitely! Metal Gear Solid is my all time favorite game, and I might have passed it up if it wasn't for Brawl.

The End's fight is good, but I personally prefer the more intense fights in smaller spaces like Vulcan Raven.

And you're missing my point. That is, there is none. I never wanted to argue how anything, I just expressed my want for a Resident Evil character.

As a tomboy who doesn't get fashion, I'd actually like to see her. I hear Nintendo has a girl game tournament with a Style Savvy game
Now a Style Savvy-off is something I would've watched in the Nintendo World Championships

My favorite MGS3 boss fight is probably the Fury. Great music, too.


I love the Boss as well, but the camera during the fight always bugs me.

Would Sorrow count as a Boss?
Easily my favourite of the Cobras outside of The Boss.

Puzzle boss, definitely.

I'd say my favorite fights from each game...

MGS1: Gray Fox
MGS2: Solidus Snake
MGS3: The Fury
MGS4: Metal Gear RAY

And screw all of the Peace Walker boss battles.

MGS1: Psycho Mantis.
MGS2: 30 RAYs or Solidus.
MGS3: The Boss.
MGS4: Liquid Ocelot or REX vs RAY.

Peace Walker's bosses are the problems I have with the majority of bosses in shooters like Borderlands, Destiny and Gears of War. Dull Bullet Sponges.

Still a better idea than Screwattack's Amiibo ****fight where the loser would have to burn their Amiibo to death. No seriously, something like that exists.
