I see Takamaru in all of these rosters has he really gotten that big or is he just expected?

Yeah.. he's the expected retro now.
He's not big however.

 

[BKupa666]

Miis are still one of the most likely candidates honestly, Pac-Man or not.

I'd say their odds go way down without the E3 leak in consideration, since Sakurai spoke about "going in the opposite direction" of Miis as a concept (not a character, like Villager) in Brawl's Iwata Asks. Also, he did say he was taking his own personal preference into consideration by choosing Dixie, so he could also take it into consideration by omitting the single worst newcomer candidate.

 

[Autumn ♫]

He's not big however.

Yeah, leave that to Ridley.

 

[Pega-pony Princess]

I'm curious. Where did the "Ridley is too big" come from anyway?

It all came from a user named "Shokio"...

Ha ha...it's been around much longer than that.

Really, as far as I can tell, it stemmed from comments made by people who either knew little to nothing about Metroid, or believed it would be silly to scale Ridley down to a reasonable size to be a playable character.

 

[BKupa666]

It began as a joke within the Ridley for Brawl thread. Before long, however, a few narrow-minded users saw the joke, took it seriously, and parroted it as a serious counterpoint. The culture of TooBigotry only grew from there, as the people described in pizzadudemanguy's comment took it to heart.

Ironically enough...it came from us Ridley supporters. It was commonly used as a joke amongst Ridley fans considering he's a large character and is actually a joke we continue to use to this day...I know, it's sad that it's actually used as an argument, I laugh at that fact alot.

edit: Goddammit Kupa, this is the second time today this has happened.

From ridley.

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

People saying that Ridley's too big doesn't make any sense! It's like they don't even know how to English.

 

[?????????????]

From ridley.

Well if you want to get technical, it's one of those cases where as time goes on the attention starts to increase. That contribution being the cameos The Mysterious Murasame Castle got over the years slowly increasing, and in some cases like Samurai Warriors 3 becomes surprisingly extensive. Though, I don't know the answers as to why The Mysterious Murasame Castle is getting some attention after years of absence.

 

[Sobreviviente]

Thats not ridley, thats classic ridley you genius

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

Well, after watching ChuggaaConroy's lets play, Viridi's far from my favorite character. Gee...I wonder who my favorite character is.

After watching Chuggaconroy's let's play I learned that Magnus is the most deserving character because..... he's cool... Seriously though recently playing (and beating) Kid Icarus Uprising for the first time I've realized just how important Palutena is and I'm all for her inclusion.

Oops, my bad.

[Chandeelure]

I can't wait for the Direct, we will probably have to edit our prediction rosters after that great moment XD

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

Oops, my bad.

Spoiler

LOL, that obviously doesn't count, that's a spin off game, unlike Smash Bros.

 

[Sobreviviente]

Oops, my bad.

So? morphball size is not far from samus actual size, do the math

 

[Zhadgon]

None, because there's absolutely no reason to do so.

And if I were to cut it down to 45, I would have to cut more than six, because counting transformations, I've got 55 characters. That would be ten removed.

If you say so, it was more of a challenge.
.n_n.

That's not Samus, that's classic Samus you genius

You mean this chick?

Yes, she indeed is

 

[SpindaMaster]

You mean this chick?

Yes, she indeed is

Wait, Samus is a girl?!

 

[Autumn ♫]

Metroid's not a chick, it's a robot! That's why it can't crawl!

 

[Sehnsucht]

Wait, Samus is a girl?!

No.

She's a woman.

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

No.

She's a woman.

So what? She's a very hot woman!

 

[Sehnsucht]

So what? She's a very hot woman!

Is that right? I couldn't tell with the Power Suit and all.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

So what? She's a very hot woman!

Hey man

I thought we all agreed not to talk about the hell run.

 

[SpindaMaster]

Is that right? I couldn't tell with the Power Suit and all.

That's why she's so hot. I'm sure it gets pretty stuffy in that suit.

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

Hell run? We're not instigating a hell run, I'm just saying that Samus is my kinda lady!

=========================>The Joke




















=========================>Your head.
[collapse="Explanation"]The "hell run" is the nickname for the infamous sequence in Other M where Samus has to run through a lava filled area with heat that saps her health without a protective suit because here commander/surrogate father didn't authorize its use.[/collapse]

There's also the fact that Sakurai has stated that if there is another Nazo no Murasamejo game, that he may add Takamaru. I'm not sure if Takamaru was a popular request pre-Melee, and if one of the reasons he gained more popularity now is because of his appearances in other games. I don't think we have gotten a new Nazo no Murasamejo game, but I believe the game received a GBA and VC port (did it receive a 3DS port?), though I don't think that counts (I'm not sure if this other appearances count as well). At the very least, Sakurai didn't flat out reject Takamaru and did bring him up...

Unless what he said was a subtle way of saying, "I will consider Takamaru ONLY if Nazo no Murasamejo gets a new game [which will never happen, suckas!! *laughs*]".

Yet, like you've said, he did make appearances in other games after, though we don't know if it's enough.

Though, I don't know the answers as to why The Mysterious Murasame Castle is getting some attention after years of absence.

I'm wondering why as well.

But hey, Takamaru's a pretty cool and handsome dude, so I ain't complaining.

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

Don't you guys think a Nintendo Direct all about Smash Bros. is the best time to reveal the most talked about character?

 

[JamesDNaux]

I decided to go with a more uniform background for my roster, rather than the unique colours for each one. I still kept the colours on the middle lines though.

Looks a bit easier on the eyes I think, flows a lot better too. Hopefully I can fill in a few more with official renders after the direct.

I have 100% completed Metroid Other M, but YOU led me into this trap about this so called Hell Run. I'm only trying to express that Samus is a perfect match for me, stop leading me into traps!

No one led you into a trap.
You walked into it yourself...

Takamaru was merely a character that was mentioned by the occasional stray dog back during Melee days, normally failing to be mentioned. In fact, I think that e-mail regarding to Takamaru is the only documented case of the character. It was more or less the same during Brawl speculation, though slightly better. He was mentioned several times in E-mail requests, said mentions often being mistaken for a poll.

But that is a question I ma curious about, is whether or not these cameos will be a good enough excuse. There hasn't been any sequel to The Mysterious Murasame Castle in years, unless you count Murasame Mode in Samurai Warriors 3. There have been ports (GBA, Wii VC, 3DS VC) and cameos, and that's about it. Which is a shame because if promotional material is to go by, it seemed like there was a push to put it on par with big name series like The Legend of Zelda, but it failed to bring in the attention.

But the cameo thing will forever be a mystery. The mystery of The Mysterious Murasame Castle.

No cuts, no flaws, nothing fancy, just getting the job done, I like it!

Can I just say that this roster is the ****? Like, this is top-tier, high-grade, 100% good ****. Personally, I'd replace Pac-Man with Mii, but there's so much excellence in this roster that I don't even care.

If this is the roster we get, I would finally be happy with a Smash roster that isn't SSB64.

EDIT: Stupid Mii, Mii is on there.

100% best case scenario.
