Character Discussion Thread

[Vez]

I think The Moon from Majora's Mask should be in Smash Bros. He is too big but you can just downscale him and he wouldn't look ******** what-so-ever. He also has great potential for a moveset.. like... he could... um... he... Sakurai can think of something okay jeez.

He could roll around a lot.

Basically he'd be a clone of Sonic.

This is my new prediction roster.
THIS IS NOT MY WISH ROSTER!

My wish roster is a bit different, and is more risky.

But what does everyone think of my prediction roster?

Let's not get carried away with joke posts.

Not bad. Unsure at Diddy and Dixie team, as well as Tingle, but those are understandable. Chrom and Lucina team is an interesting idea, but it's one I'm very unsure about in terms of likelihood. I just don't Daitoryo happening. I'm sorry, I just don't think it'll happen. Other than that it's fine

YOU CAN'T MAKE THE MOON SMALLER, IT WOULD RUIN HIS CHARACTER

Besides the obvious folly of Lip instead of Takamaru, this is pretty solid.

I would personally remove Tingle for...literally anyone else, and replace Chrom/Lucina with Robin, but that's just personal taste.

Oh, and that playing card fellow. That's not happening.

#Ridley

I do hope you're joking, friend. My people have no quarrel with you.

I think they'd add Young Link again before Moon.

Well I do think that this is risky as well.
Diddy/Dixie duo is basically pointless, since the characters would play so similarly. What's the point of switching out?
I still think Takamaru > Lip, but I wouldn't mind Lip at all.
Daitoryo is an idea that I still believe Sakurai has never even considered.
Chrom + Lucina is a developer's nightmare. Just add one or the other.

Implying two new DK characters, Daitoryo and Lip isn't risky.

Otherwise, pretty vanilla as far as predictions go.

Pretty solid, but I do have some issues with it.
Diddy + Dixie - Not too fond of having these characters together, they'd fit better separated.
Tingle - Not really as important in the Zelda series as most people think; he's also rather unpopular and "old news" if you get the gist.
Jigglypuff - I don't really care if it's likely to happen, I really don't like Jigglypuff
Daitoryo - Who is this?

 

[UltimateWario]

...what?

I really don't think Ridley has a chance. The dude is too big, he doesn't have any potential for a good moveset, and he was a boss in Brawl.

-deep breath, exhales, moves on-

 

[bionic]

But honestly, I think Little Mac, Chrom, and Shulk have a chance of making it into Smash.

I know Miis aren't going to happen because they aren't even characters, they are avatars. They also don't have any potential for a good moveset.

 

[Louie G.]

...what?

A team of Chrom and Lucina hitting the opponent one after the other similarly to Awakening's battle system...
That would be extremely hard to implement into Smash.

Daitoryo - Who is this?

Daitoryo is a character in Nintendo's old card games. He's basically Napoleon.
People want him as a "historical" character, but he doesn't originate in a video game, nor does he appear in one, so I'm skeptical.

If Lucario is staying, so is Jigglypuff.
I agree on everything else. Tingle is overrated here, and many who support him do so ironically.
Of course, this could be assumed for many characters.

Good. Me too.

Oh ho ho.
I suppose that a character can't be resized, right? And please explain to me potential, since Ridley has a lot of what I call "potential".

I have to disagree, but whatever, things such as this are not in our hands.

Well, it could work.
But I'm saying it would be hard to program.

Do you follow?

Spoiler

not this again

 

[OcarinaOfDoom]

Are we about to hit a too big argument already?

I'm disagreeing that it'd be hard to program, but I don't think most people think anything past "Ice Climbers where you can switch characters" when thinking Chrom/Lucina. That's my line of thinking, anyway.

Are we about to hit a too big argument already?

This is why I did my best to stay quiet.

Though, I do believe it's one of the laws of the universe at this point.

1. Time
2. Gravity
3. Any Smash discussion will devolve into arguments over Ridley, an FE Newcomer, or the 5th Zelda Slot

I hope not, I'd rather not start this on the character thread the day it opens.

I'd say this or Zelda's 5 Slot and if we are getting one or not.

Characters can be resized. But they are upscaled, not downscaled. Not to mention, his structure is meant to make him look giant, he would look odd downscaled.
Villager is a different story. He is an avatar, but you can only really change his clothes/hairstyle and he's exclusive to one series. The Miis are FULLY customizable and are in a ton of different series.

I guess this is our own way of formally accepting this as the successor to the RPD.

 

[UltimateWario]

Ignoring the Ridley stuff...how does more to draw from equal less moveset potential...? If anything, the Miis would be easier to make just because they have sports, boxing, and plenty more to use.

Though it does seem that the Villager has used boxing and bowling at this point.

 

[Starcutter]

hoo boy.

are you TRYING to get this thread locked? fhb

 

[Kenith]

Hey, hey, guys, don't be like this, there's no arguing going on, just plain disagreement. He just said an unpopular opinion, is all. No need to get up in arms about it.

I don't understand your reasoning on Miis.
Miis are fully customizable, yes, but doesn't that debunk your argument about them having no potential?
And Ridley can be shrunk down to Bowser's size, easily. Ever seen his Other M form? That would arguably work even better.

Fire Emblem. Roy is better than Chrom

But seriously...

The Queen Bee from Galaxy is is MK7 as a playable character. Mario can crawl around her like a flea.

 

[BindingBlade]

As much as I hate to admit it, Ridley and K. Rool have little chance.

Care to give a reason?
They are both very popular and iconic Nintendo villains from underrepped franchises.
Ridley can be resized, recency doesn't matter with DK.

 

[N3ON]

You guys are getting worked up over someone who advocated the moon be playable then went on to say Ridley is too big.

Think about that.

Worry not, brother. We shouldn't let this thread devolve into what the last thread did.

We'll have our victory day in the hot sun, one day.

I say we end the Ridley/K. Rool arguments. If you have any gripes with those characters, take them to their threads, not here. They're too all-consuming.

 

[Kenith]

@ Kenith

Sorry. Pictures then? No? Okay.

Exactly. Size means nothing. Ridley can be plausibly resized.

Well those were 2 separate arguments. He doesn't have any potential for a good moveset. There's nothing he could really do.
Ridley would look ******** shrunk down to Bowser's size to anybody that plays Metroid. There's no way Samus would be able to fit in his hand in one game, than be the same size as her in another.

 

[Headcrab Jackalope]

oh boy a new character discussion thread

So this is basically my wish roster, and my prediction roster looks pretty similar. Basically the prediction roster removes Kamek, King Boo, Mallo, Wrestler, Cubivore, Sukapon, Shulk, and Slime, cutting it down from 63 to 55 characters.

Any thoughts on both rosters?

There's no way Bowser could be 50x Mario's size in one game, then be the sameish size as him in another. And yes, Ridley has a ton of moveset potential.

 

[Mega Bidoof]

Well I just finished my Wish Roster.

Just a quick note about Mii. I put him off to the side because I have this feeling he will be treated separately from the rest of the characters, like he is in the Mario & Sonic Olympics games.

 

[UltimateWario]

Any thoughts on the both rosters?

My thought is that I really want to play Cubivore.

I tried emulating it and the framerate was so garbage that I couldn't do a thing.

I'd really like to see Cubivore get represented in Smash in one way or another, though the fact that it wasn't even mentioned in Brawl makes it unlikely.

 

[bionic]

If your talking about Mario Galaxy and Sunshine, he shrinks back to normal once you actually beat him. Do you even own those games or do you just look at screenshots?
