Honestly, I hope he's back.
He was a great addition for Brawl, and I hope he's back.

I still don't get why everyone want's him cut though. All I ever hear is "not relevant, and will be replaced with Chrom/Lucina/Robin/Leif/Roy/Tharja/Owain/Tiki/etc."
Oh which I reply with "Why not both?"

I like both Marth and Ike. The latter had a nice heft to him, so I enjoyed his addition in Brawl. But indeed, I also see no reason why we couldn't have three FE characters (Marth/Ike/Teh Best Lord). Unless, for whatever reason, cuts need to be made (and Newcomers would have priority, in such an event).

Long story short (and unspoiled) she's part of Viridi's army.

After Viridi's reveal as a Stage Hazard in the 3DS Uprising stage, I recall mentions of her being a Goddess of Nature, or something of the sort. Is that correct?

I think the issue is importance is their eyes.
It's also why I hate it when people want Squirtle or Ivysaur to go so Charizard can shine.
Because it only tells me that they don't care about the character, and if they don't who should.
It's pretty much just giving up on the character.
It's giving up on the people who put their time and effort in being the best with that character.

Yep.
The seeds bombs are also Viridi's.
Heck, she's an antagonist at one point (she has a hatred for humans).

I originally envisioned Charizard being solo in SSB4, with Squirtle/Ivysaur/Trainer out of the picture. I've since revised this view, since I'm now of the stance that any Brawl cuts are both undesirable -- and probably unlikely, save in unforeseen circumstances in development.

And the return of Toon Link and Lucario may be a good sign for a No Cuts scenario.

Cool. I'd eventually like to get a 3DS, and when I do, I'll surely get Smash, though I'll certainly be looking into getting Uprising (alongside other must-play 3DS titles). 8D

Hopefully.
Pokemon Trainer is a big part of Pokemon.
And I'd hate to see him go.

I honestly liked it.
I'd say it's up there with Awakening, 3D Land, X/Y is okay, and MK7 is really good just lacking in the variety area.

Why is the solution of Ganondorf being generic always to make him generic.
Click to expand...
As a fan of Ganondorf, having his moveset retooled to better reflect his character from the Zelda series is something I certainly wouldn't oppose -- even if it means that he remains generic.

I do also enjoy his actual Smash moveset, on the other hand, despite his origins as a Falcon semi-clone.

I guess the only thing I actually want is for Ganondorf to be improved, whether that means tweaking his Brawl moveset or giving him a revised one.

I thought that Ganondorf was a full on clone, not just a semi-clone.

Oh, and by the way, I found a tweet by Sakurai posted today on Twitter. I went to translate the Japanese text in Google translate. While it did not come out right at all, certain words were mentioned. One particular name that was thrown in? "Palutena." Not sure if that means anything, but a bit of curiosity never hurts.

Kid Icarus = Palutena's Mirror in Japan.

In Melee, he was most definitely a Falcon clone. Though in Brawl, his properties were altered to a more notable extent, further distinguishing him from Falcon. He became stronger, but slower and heavier. And the properties of his Specials and other moves were skewered as well, relative to Falcon.

I don't think he was fully Luigified from Melee to Brawl, but he certainly distanced himself from pure clone material, IMO.

The Ganondorf in Brawl was a good concept IMO, but they just made him way too slow. All they have to do is make him slightly faster overall and give him back his Melee run and he'd be solid.

Wait, I thought it was due to his game being released in a few months.
And wanted to advertise it.

He didn't use enough of it, now that I look back.

It was used for what, 5 attacks out of the entire set of moves?

Lief would be really awesome





as an alternate costume for Marth! I mean, he already has most of it for his white outfit. He just needs the brown hair!

Well, on the subject of Roy, I don't think he's returning. It's weird. For some reason, I feel Mewtwo should return, but Roy should just stay back. As for Dr. Mario, well, that's pretty self explanatory.

  1. I doubt Roy will return.
  2. Lucina, Chrom, or Robin will get in over Leif.
  3. If Ganondorf becomes another "sword user", at least he'd be his own character, rather than a clone. Generic Sword User > Dead-on clone.

Leif isn't likely at all. I don't even think Lucina's too likely, but she's miles above Leif.

I think people need to realize that Sakurai does use recency as a factor when choosing characters. If he didn't he wouldn't have planned on replacing Ness with the newest Mother protagonist in Melee.
