Uniqueness in NOT what would make Krystal get in. Any character still needs importance to their series, and the franchise still needs to actually deserve a character. Plus, the staff is not the only thing she would use. It's basically magic, the fact that it is elemental and is triggered with a staff does not change that. You can't cover her whole moveset with a staff either.

Don't kill me if I am wrong, I know next to nothing about Krystal. I just hate her.

You're not making any points at all. Krystal still has very high chances, it doesn't matter that others such as Metroid and Donkey Kong are talked about like that, Those franchises don't need anything at all at this point.
Are you saying that Krystal is more likely than Ridley or a third DK character?

YOU ADMIT IT!!! YOU ADMIT IT!!! FINALLY, YOU ADMIT THAT YOU'RE BIASED BECAUSE YOU HARDLY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT KRYSTAL!!!!

For all we know, Sakurai might not watch PizzaDudeManGuy's videos about how Ridley can be playable, and the Donkey Kong franchise might not need a third rep. Just DK and Diddy are enough.

Ooh, that was suicide

Did you really just assume that? Star fox is at the point that people already think that it might even be overrepped. Donkey Kong and Metroid have characters with so much potential and are wanted all over the world. They are huge franchises and are definitely underrepped. And you say StarFox, which is already repped perfectly fine, should have another character and Donkey Kong and Metroid shouldn't.

...Did I miss something?

I'm confused as well.

I think Sakurai is smart enough to understand that resizing isn't a hard thing to do and that DK is arguably Nintendo's most important franchise of all time. Donkey Kong basically started Nintendo's video game industry.
Also many people are biased AGAINST Krystal, but you are very clearly biased TOWARDS her.

Jesus, can we all just agree that Krystal isn't good for Smash, won't be in Smash, and thus move on?
Well, to be fair, I think Krystal could be an interesting character, and she does have a chance. I just think that there are plenty of other characters we should get before her, and that her chances aren't that high, at least not as high as some Krystal supporters seem to make it out to be.

Yeah, but I just don't see her getting in. I can barley imagine a fourth StarFox representative.

I just said I hardly know anything about her, but everyone is all "BUT SHE IS HOT" and "STAFF STAFF STAFF STAFF STAFF" so I was going with what I know, and what I hear from every Krystal fan. You are clearly the one who is much more biased.


For all we know, Sakurai isn't stupid.

Uh, I wouldn't say that if I were you, because I've actually studied her very closely. It's not that I think she's hot, it's that she's stealing the spotlight from Falco lately

You honestly can't be telling me that a franchise that already has two protagonists, and a major antagonist playable in Smash needs a third protagonist, more so than Metroid needs it's main antagonist, the only other Metroid character that deserves to be playable, and more so than DK needs it's main antagonist?

You mean in all those Star Fox games they haven't made since Brawl?

I'd say that you're biased because you literally just screamed at a dude because of his opinion on a character.

I never said you think she's hot...
And I can say you're biased towards her, because you are very clearly.
Saying that STAR FOX needs another rep over DK and Metroid?

I'm going to have to ask you to back that up because from what I understand that's not even true. Falco is still second to Fox on the team, has been in a game recently that she wasn't in, and remains much more popular then her.

I'm ambivalent to the character, but please do not oversell her for more then she is.

Lets think of it this way, some of us want Krystal despite Star Fox being quiet & being a polarized chararacter while many don't want her!

Agree to disagree, yes?

I've read articles on a lot of StarFox databases. In case you haven't seen already, Fox and Krystal eventually get married. And have we ever had any main Female StarFox protagonists. No!
@Tillie-152 yes, I agree to disagree after this post.

And marriage is relevant...
...How exactly?

And here we go.
Now we have an example. You've proven me that her being a female rep is the biggest thing going for her.

Correct me if I'm wrong, having not played Star Fox, but I thought that the marriage was only one possible ending? And aren't there endings where she leaves the team?

And, about having never had a female Star Fox protagonist... we've also never had a main antagonist for Donkey Kong of Metroid in Smash before...

Ever been to The Metroid Database? It's a cesspit. A big flaming pool of garbage. Believe it or not, not everything on the internet is true.

That ending (and entire game) was noncanon. Besides, by this logic, we should have Marth's wife.
And have we ever had any main Female StarFox protagonists. No!
That hardly matters.

I don't believe Fox marrying Krystal is canon. Not to mention every member of the Starfox crew got married, it's not like it was a special thing with just Fox.

Why are villains compared to be equally as important as females? Villains are always important to the series, because if it wasn't for them, then a good amount of the series' games wouldn't exist.

They get married in one possible ending, it's not even known if the game it hails from is canon, much less the ending itself.

And being female does not matter, if they're a third or fourth ring character that matters little to the team make-up and plot, they have no reason to get in over much more established and popular characters just because they aren't male. If a character gets in, it should be on their own merits, not anything else.

Okay it's about time I said it.
This is confusing me. What is a joke, and what isn't?

Though, you seem to love playing that card...
The joke was when I was kinda sorta making fun of @ SuperBrawler SuperBrawler in all caps. It's a reference to the finale of Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time Versus when Josh Jepson finally hears Tyler Sederwall admit that he listens to garbage music. (Not called Garbage music though, if I say what they said, I'd get in trouble with the moderators)
