Character Discussion Thread

[ppbto]

Possibly that, but my friend goes back and forth on Dixie. He seems to feel that having just DK and Diddy is all that is needed, and everyone else feels tacked on.

I kind of understand what he means by that. I mean, DK is the main hero and Diddy is his sidekick. Dixie is...a sidekick of a sidekck, and K. Rool, while he'd be cool, hasn't been relevant in quite some time.

K. Rool might not be recent right now, but he is iconic.

 

[IsmaR]

My friend and I have made a roster together. We have two versions, one with Dixie, one with Ridley.

That's great. You tell your friend we're going to put it riiiiiiiiight here on the refrigerator.

Admittedly I do like that you used Naked Snake in place of Solid.

Found this poll and I haven't seen it on Smash Boards so here, not too many votes but it's a Japanese poll. If you can read it, more power to you

 

[Zynux]

Thanks to google translate, the result is this (note, this is a direct rip for Google translate, which is why the names are weird):

Paper Mario (18%)
Monster Hunter (11%)
Nick & Captain ★ Rainbow (9%)
Lucina (9%)
Daisy (6%)
Waluigi (5%)
Dixie Kong (4%)
Shuruku [Shulk] (4%)
Banjo & Kazui (4%)
Metal Mario (4%)
Magna [Magnus] (4%)
Girahimu (3%)

Ridley (0%)
DeMille (0%)
Piramekipanda (0%)
Doll warrior Gaussian (0%)

Total number of votes cast: 456


To me it just seems to be a random poll with no significance overall, and I question the validity of the website and polling in general (not being able to read Japanese certainly doesn't help confirm what type of site this is, and its overall traffic and demographic), but who knows?

 

[Deleted member]

Not knowing what I was doing, I put a vote for Paper Mario.


And I can't undo it nor can I post a message asking to discount my vote (since it blocks non-Japanese IPs from posting comments).

Son of a....

 

[Arcanir]

I took a look at the profiles, it seems King Couleur is King K. Rool, Shuruku is Shulk and Magna is Magnus. I'm still looking for Shibanyan.

I get the feeling this is the poll that one article is talking about, the top characters match it quite accurately.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I voted for Ridley.

In English...

No idea it would do that... I thought it would translate it to the closest Kanji (or whatever) available.

Oh well.

 

[Zynux]

@ Arcanir Thanks, will edit to reflect that.

I had a friend translate some of it and that was an automatic vote for me

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I do feel kinda bad about voting Ridley in English...

Looks tacky....

 

[andimidna]

It wouldn't let me vote for Ridley so I voted for Lucina

I do feel kinda bad about voting Ridley in English...

Looks tacky....

Then vote for Ridori! リドリ

EDIT: everybody left when I came...
...sorry about the double post

 

[Croph]

People are probably the dumbest creatures alive.

If I had a dollar for every time you said this...

Y'know, there's a quote I read some time ago. I don't remember exactly, but it goes something like: "Human stupidity is the ultimate weapon". And I guess that's true. Sometimes it might feel like stupidity is a weapon of mass destruction with no counter. But never give up! There's always a way to victory!

The above quote came from a book my sister got for her birthday one year. The book's filled with quotes about human stupidity said by well-known people. You should read it; sounds like it'll be right up your alley lol.

But yeah, Gonzalez is sexy beast. I'm hoping FE6 will get some more representation, whether Roy makes it in or not.

The most ridiculous likely Fire Emblem roster,

Marth
Ike
Lyn + Roy duo
Anna riding dragon Tiki
Robin/Chrom/Lucina triple tagteam
Maiciah wearing Black Knight's armor

I'd be okay with this. Especially that Lyn + Roy duo considering Lyn could potentially become Roy's mother. That's be a pretty sick team. <3

 

[Zynux]

So apparently Ridley was missing in my original post for some odd reason so I edited him in his correct spot.

Damn you Copy Pasterino, you've failed me yet again.


Anyways, a sad, sad day in Smashland when Metal Mario beats Ridley, K. Rool, and Mewtwo in a random poll.

 

[Deleted member]

Wonder how the Palutena fans are doing, seeing as I haven't even seen her on the poll.
And yet, there's Magnus.

I legitimately support this

Honestly, I'd add both Dixie and Ridley before adding Mr.blankspace twice.
Sakurai for Smash? Wait, what?

I was wondering about that too.

(is Magnus more Kawaii)

I'm confused by that as well. Anyone got a poll translation?

 

[Dinoman96]

@andimidna, it's supposed to be Miis there, not Sakurai.

 

[Thirdkoopa]

@andimidna, it's supposed to be Miis there, not Sakurai.

I doubt it'd be the Sakurai mii as default.

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

That's great. You tell your friend we're going to put it riiiiiiiiight here on the refrigerator.

Not sure whether to make a dirty joke or not

 

[Malcolm Belmont]

Damn it i should of voted for Naruto to annoy everyone

 

[FlareHabanero]

I think a good place to start would be actually creating trophies from scratch instead of ripping them from other games, so we would avoid a situation like Brawl where there was a heavy emphasis on Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, and create trophies based around varies other games.

Aside from that, stickers and music work fine enough, but maybe could be a tad more broad for the latter. If there isn't a glut of Fire Emblem: Awakening content that overshadows everything, we should be golden for the most part.

Also Gonzalaz in HD when

It seems like that is the case.

Fat Mac looks a lot better than his Captain Rainbow model.

 

[Knight Dude]

Wait, was there some poll going on? If there was does any one mind giving out the link?

 

[Mega Bidoof]

Hopefully this means something for Earthbound.
I'm sick of having hundreds of Zelda trophies, thousands of Fire Emblem Trophies, and no Retros or Earthbound (since they had sprites and not models, and it was apparently too much effort to make a couple idle models).

[UltimateWario]

That face when your realize that Kirby had like three pages of trophies crafted from scratch.

 

[Knight Dude]

I kind of want a Fire Emblem character to be confirmed now, mainly to slow down these Fire Emblem discussions.

What would be reaction if it was Chrom?

All I know is that I would prefer to just confirm Ike as soon as possible. He's the only Fire Emblem character I care about. This is of course coming from a guy who isn't well versed in the series.

 

[Deleted member]

That face when you realize that a lot of those Kirby trophies were from the cancelled Gamecube game.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

The return of the greatest war to ever come from Smash speculation around here- heated Roy vs Chrom debates. What could be better?

Ike, Lucas, Wolf or Jigglypuff are the characters I would like to see soon.

Well you have to make use of them somehow. I mean it's still better than nothing.

Yeah those are usually fun. And by fun, I mostly mean for me. I don't know jack about Fire Emblem, so having you guys verbally tear each other apart while I can stay out of it is surprisingly funny. I personally want to get Wario, Ike, Meta-Knight, and Yoshi's reveals out of the way. Since those won't bring up much discussion around this place or anywhere else really.

 

[Mega Bidoof]

Since when ?

I was kidding.
I meant hundreds. In Brawl.
Just because they had so many character models, so why not add them all?

 

[True Blue Warrior]

The fun never ends.

No, really, at this point, FE discussion has almost become something of a running gag and this is coming from a FE fan.

 

[Mega Bidoof]

I don't think this is what they meant when they said go green, reuse, and recycle...

 

[Joe D.]

So before we fall into the hell that is a FE debate, let's talk about a character, or characters, that don't get spotlight like other reps, but are still viable candidates: Kat and Ana.

I'd love to see a twin ninja moveset implemented for them, maybe give them an array of various Ninja weaponry, (i.e., Shurikens, Magic, Their basic Katanas.) I think they'd function well as playable characters.

I agree. Look at all the ripped TP trophies... I think it's a little bit of an overabundance. Some games/series in particular got very underrepresented. It's probably easier to rip models, but I'd like other series to have more trophy representation as well.

Metal Gear series always seemed odd to me (especially compared to the other 3rd party series: Sonic). Iirc, most trophies appeared in-game in some form (like Cardboard Box, Cypher, REX, etc.) except for Shagohod, arguably Iroquois Pliskin and Naked Snake... and leaving out many important people.

In fact, we got Iroquois Pliskin, which the description even mentions Raiden, but no Raiden trophy (only a sticker)!

I WILL see my bishounen cyborg ninja in Smash... somehow. Hopefully a trophy...

I hope.

What would be reaction if it was Chrom?

I'm guessing that if Chrom's revealed before Ike, some people will go on saying, "Ike's been replaced by Chrom!" excessively.

 

[Gunla]

It seems like that is the case.

Fat Mac looks a lot better than his Captain Rainbow model.

Wait, they're actually going to update models instead of rip old ones? Faith in Nintendo, restored.

That face when you realize that a lot of those Kirby trophies were from the cancelled Gamecube game.

Which one? Though it was the one that eventually turned into the concept of RTD. Or was it Air Ride?

 

[Opossum]

What would be reaction if it was Chrom?
.

A whole lotta happiness from my end.

That being said, I wouldn't worry about Ike. He's a lock, in my eyes.

 

[Gunla]

What would be reaction if it was Chrom?

Violent anger and rage, followed by simple acceptance. As long as he's not a clone.

On Ike, I feel as if he's a practical lock. He's pretty much the big face of American Fire Emblem. Even in a sequel that first didn't star him he eventually just shows up to steal the spotlight.
And 3 FE chaps is a likely scenario.

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

....Yeah. Where's The Boss? Ocelot? Solidus? Liquid? Raiden? Otacon?

I hope they appear as trophies.

Seeing Paz, Volgin, Gene, and a proper trophy of Big Boss would also be nice.

And the Wario trophies in general were a disappointment. The near-complete lack of Wario Land content is one thing, but they didn't even have stuff from Wario Ware other than Wario himself, Wario-Man, the bike, and the Assist Trophy, despite focusing on that series in Brawl.

I guess they didn't even want to put in 2D images of the characters for the trophies, since there were no 3D models of characters like Mona and Jimmy T at the time.

Tell the haters of Chrom because "he's boring" to shoo away.
