Character Discussion Thread

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Since Greninja was confirmed right the **** out of nowhere like a Big Lipped Alligator Moment, I guess we can all expect the Rhythm Heaven Wrestler and Duck Hunt Dog as E3 reveals.

 

[The Suit-less Ace]

I'm torn between Paper Mario (a personal want) and Bowser Jr (who is more likely in my eyes).

So Mewtwo will take...
Jigglypuff's niche?

6th Characters: Mewtwo, Tetra, Paper Mario


I'm said niche, not place.

I personally think Paper Mario is more likely, since it's isolated from the Mario series and it seems more unique.

 

[Banjodorf]

I'm pretty much believing the latest Gematsu leak. It's too timely to ignore, no matter how apparently vague it was.

Plus it has Shulk and Palutena, and has missed people before, so things still look good for K. Rool

...Anyway. Rhythm Heaven is a series I have absolutely no connection to, but the idea of a rep for it certainly sounds interesting. And some kind of chorus guy strikes me as one of the greatest WTF characters ever. I'm not so much expecting a retro anymore. Then again, after we got Greninja'd yesterday, I'm not really expecting anything, but hoping at leaks that have what I want.

Love when I had Samus and ZSS separated on my roster once and people were like:
"SEPARATE SAMUS'!?!?!?!?!?!? THIS IS MOST UNORTHODOX! You can't have things be...*cringes* ...DIFFERENT!"

 

[Louie G.]

'Twas a joke, my friend.

 

[The Suit-less Ace]

So about Pack Man......

 

[Kenith]

Honestly, now that Greninja has proven characters can and will come out of left field...
It's back to Ghirahim for me, as he is arguably the one character where even his supporters did not ever see it coming.

 

[Louie G.]

So about Pack Man......

We got some classic Namco arcade items.
So Pac-Man is looking good.

Funny, I remember people calling me crazy for cutting Pokemon Trainer and adding Charizard back as a separate character...

Then i get absolutely berated for being "disrespectful" (wut)

Well, the good thing is that now you can always tell people "I TOLDYA SO!"

I faintly remember you talking about that when I was on here a while back. There's really no wrong answer unless you say that both Shadow and Tails will be added.

I would have been one of those people. Assuming that wasn't you I was talking to.

"The Pac is baaaaaack! And he's gonna get you. Pac Man saves the day!"

 

[Autumn ♫]

Oh boy, Pac-Man seems near-inevitable now with the Namco Assist Trophies.

 

[N3ON]

Predicting Charizard has always been controversial. You would've been laughed at for doing so in Brawl and laughed at once more for suggesting he be separate this time.

But that firey ******* went from Pokeball Pokemon to part of transformation character to getting half of a trailer normally reserved for newcomers... so I guess he got the last laugh.
Meanwhile Blastoise gets **** all.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

"The Pac is baaaaaack!

*Ears burst into flames*

I disagree. I think that since Sakurai said Namco wouldn't be considered special, I think to thank them he gave them the Namco Arcade items. I'm still not sold on him being playable.

 

[Kenith]

It could be that he's an AT in his classic sprite form. After all, putting a couple 8-bit items in the game is as lot different than programming a character.

Think he would have shown that off yesterday if it were true.

 

[The Suit-less Ace]

You know what I found interesting about the pokeballs? They would usually show 1 legendary from a trio and not all three of them. Like Palkia without Diagla and Giratina.

 

[NickerBocker]

I would have been one of those people. Assuming that wasn't you I was talking to.

I remember it being more than one person, so you could have been one of them. Either way, what happened, happened, and people are entitled to their own opinions. But i ended up abandoning the idea because, as i mentioned before, it was considered "disrespectful."

Wish i hadn't done that, but no harm, no foul.

Unless the developers get very creative, Pac-Man seems to be Assist Trophy material.

On the subject of Assist Trophies, am I the only person who, after watching the montage, thinks that Dark Samus should have been playable?

 

[Kenith]

That would imply that Sakurai had a pattern.

Never assume that.

 

[samoxnar]

I'm actually heavily thinking our Retro miscellaneous character and our Namco character are one in the same. Did Dug.

Samus clone.

 

[Louie G.]

Oh the Pac-Man denial.
We'll all see this E3. Then there will be no denial.

Did Dug.

Who?

 

[Bowserlick]

Mewtwo can have his teleport, maybe even allow him to attack after use since it is so short.

Give him his shadowball. Less KO, but does half damage through shields.

Disable disables the B attack of his opponent. An energy sphere appears above Mewtwo's head. If hit hard enough or a few times in succession, the sphere goes back to the thieved.

Confusion strikes at Mewtwo's hand. The opponent starts spinning away from Mewtwo, but Mewtwo has a cone of influence over the direction.

Make him heavier. Give him an increase in either range, speed, power, or a depletion in lag in his attacks.

Solved.

I swear to Bob, I would be the happiest person ever if Dig-Dug was playable.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Dark Samus still would be a clone if she was playable.

There haven't been many heavyweight reveals, this is another reason I think K Rool is up there. And Mewtwo could also be heavyweight

 

[Bowserlick]

Hope King K. Rool is in. My most wanted after Megaman. And there is at least one super heavyweight in each edition. I think Ridley, King K. Rool, and perhaps Mach Rider mounted on his/her bike are the options.

 

[Kenith]

This. I think that Mewtwo becomes more dense as a result of increased Psychic power.

Which is odd, as I assumed more Psychic power means you become smarter.

 

[The Light Music Club]

Hey guys, you know how the trophies were supposed to mean something? Well how come with Pseudo-Palutena and Fi it said what game they were from but with Tiki and the metriod thing it only said what series they were from?? Well if they were suppose to be about characters from the games that have a new rep, wouldn't it make sense that while Kid Icarus: Uprising and Zelda Skyward swords get characters from that specific game, while the Fire Emblem series will get a rep not from Awakening or Shadow Dragon? If Awakening was getting a rep wouldn't they say Tiki was from Awakening and not just the "Fire Emblem Series?" I don't know maybe I reading too much into it. Just a thought though.

Edit: KING Ki-Hunter is from Metriod Other M only I think, so maybe Super Metriod Ridley is playable while the Other M isn't?

 

[Bowserlick]

I know. Mewtwo's psychic ability just makes him levitate which means lighter, floatier, and slower.

 

[Sebz]

Am I the only one that thinks Mewtwo won't come back?

I mean, the Greninja reveal was a huge tease. Also, having 3 pokemon reps with charge ball attacks and Mega-Evo Final Smashes will feel repetitive. There's also a part of me that believes Sakurai doesn't want to add back in anyone that was cut from Melee.

In this case I believe Jiggs now has more priority than Mewtwo, as she has survived through all games and is a fairy now.

 

[Kenith]

Sigh...I dont think anyone gets my humour...

 

[Joe D.]

Dialga and Giratina confirmed as next 2 Pokemon reps

 

[Bowserlick]

Yes a double meaning of dense.

 

[The Light Music Club]

No opinions on my previous post? I find it fishy that those trophies did that.

I would assume it's because Pseudo-Palutena and Fi only make an appearance in one game in their series but Tiki and... the Kihunters (not King Kihunter though iirc) appear in multiple. It's not the best reasoning... but I personally doubt there's some grand conspiracy behind it.

The only trophy that I think was chosen for a specific reason was Pseudo-Palutena.

I think if you look deep into it for no apparent reason you could say they did mean something. Pseudo Palutena obviously hinting at Palutena, the King Kihunter for Ridley, Tiki for the FE rep (bets on Chrom or tactian), and maybe Fi for a Skyward Sword newcomer, GROOOOSE ON THE LOOOSE.
