I'd certainly like to hear your reasoning why. Dead serious here, you've piqued my interest.
If this is going to turn into a DLC debate, I am not getting involved. I'll pay some money for characters, but not the festival of DLC that is SFxTK. [MY DLC SHOULD NOT COST NEARLY TWICE AS MUCH AS THE GAME ITSELF!]
With Rosalina, Sakurai seems to place "uniqueness" (by that I mean bringing something new to the table) and fun gameplay potential over importance to the series.
I thought about this, and I know there are people who feel this way, which is why I asked for critique on it. I'm a Ness main myself obviously, so I know the feeling.@JamesDNaux
I personally hate the idea of Lucas keeping a move that Ness has had since the beginning and causing Ness to change his moveset.
I find that unfair, as Lucas should be getting more changes since Ness is the OG.
Honestly I think Tom Nook should have a trapping based moveset to mirror his role in the game.
I had a really cool idea for Nook where he can summon furniture and push it around to trap opponents and prevent recovery/movement.
I think Nintendo is specifically pushing Rosalina for some reason.
While Dark matter doesn't appear in the more recent Kirby games, you can clearly see how he inspired bosses like Magolor soul. In this way, Dark Matter is still very relevant, but in a different way than Bandana waddle Dee.
Imminent Galaxy 3 approaching.
I don't really wish to continue this, but I have an obligation to respond. Bandanna Dee's potential uniqueness is merely an aspect that could actually incite his inclusion in Smash 4. Bandanna Dee has other factors going for him, his prominence and prevalence namely. I didn't insinuate that he had the importance or popularity of other likely characters; however, you already addressed this notion by implying that we only perceive characters as likely (they aren't objectively likely). So it isn't a competition (we wouldn't have a lot of characters in Smash if it was based on importance or popularity), they just lend to his likelihood.
The notion is possible, but it's not entirely subjective. Objectively, Sakurai has included the main cast from the series that see playable representation, bar clones. Rosalina is the first exception to this, and isn't exactly comparable to Bandana Dee. Now, this could change, but I'm not dismissing something because it doesn't align with my perspective, I'm dismissing the claims of "likelihood" because it doesn't align with precedent, and with Sakurai's prior perspective and prior methods of inclusion. And again, it could change, but it's changed for a series like Mario, Sakurai's opinion changed for a series like AC; Bandana Dee is nowhere near the levels of these two exceptions.
That has little bearing on Sakurai. He's the one who selected her over other candidates who were largely requested over her, and for a series that most people really didn't want to see expanded, yet, she's playable. Sakurai saw an opportunity for a unique gameplay style, and he went for it. Just as he's done for the other three newcomers so far. Weaving together cherry-picked arguments -- not directed at you Jones -- really doesn't mean much when we don't know what Sakurai is thinking or looking at. For people to act like supporting Bandana Dee equates to crazy cultists waiting for Quetzalcoatl to come pick them up in the mother ship -- though I guess Chandelure teeters a little closely to that line -- or are L-Block supporters is disingenuous. I think most people are level headed enough to know not to raise expectations too highly.
That... or you know, garnering interest for Galaxy 3... or maybe Rosalina's future own spin-off series based on the Galaxy games so that way Mario does other stuff while Rosalina goes on gravity-defying adventures like Mario used to do in Galaxy games.
Technically Captain N is as (in)eligible as Goku.
Unless I see a really good playstyle for Bandanna Dee, I probably disagree with the addition of Dee.
I didn't insinuate that at all, I merely provided you with an example; nowhere did I indicate they were comparable characters. I feel the desire to make that apparent concisely.
I would play the hell out of a Rosalina game.
That statement is pretty relevant to who you're talking to. I pick Dixie for the same reason he picked Animal Crosser. And I don't think Toon Zelda and Dixie are on the same level
You mean recent, right?
Nah man, Chef Kawasaki is where it's at.
I could live with that roster, though I'd hope we'd see at least another couple of surprise additions, hopefully. I guess Pac-Man would be surprising if I wasn't already watching for him.More or less, what I thinkt the roster will end up looking like:
Of course, I think Tingle could end up being Toon Zelda, but I think Tingle is the obviously superior choice. He kind of is what this current cast seems to be about. Unique, and weird. Takamaru could be replaced with any retro, I suppose, but I think he's going to be the chosen one. Chrom could end up being Robin, and Ridley could end up not getting in. We could also end up with more characters, but this is my best bet on what I think the roster will look like.
I hope I'm wrong on roster size at the very least.
Those words are interchangeable on Smashboards from what I have witnessed. In fact, one person actually asserted that I used relevance incorrectly as it wasn't pertinent to the notion of recency. Dear lord...
I agree, the roster would look something like this, but do you truly believe that Sakurai would replace Snake with Pac-Man?More or less, what I thinkt the roster will end up looking like:

I am just bracing myself for in case Sakurai confirms a Nintendog puppy as a playable character for the same reason he finally added the Villager.
Its hard to imagine being able to now, suddenly predict the roster when every step of the way weve been plainly incorrect. So you're probably going to get your wish. I do think there are just some characters (as well as "slots") that are just going to happen.
Yep.
Arcadenik
Surprise additions? I can think of one...
If he pulls out a "R.O.B." on me, I think I may have to spank Sakurai 100 times a day for making me lose hope on the puppy.I am just bracing myself for in case Sakurai confirms a Nintendog puppy as a playable character for the same reason he finally added the Villager.
Vaati. Gotcha.
From previous statements Sakurai has noted, he'd be very surprising to me. "Smash Bros. can still be considered as an all-star collection of Nintendo characters. Just like with Mega Man or any other third-party character, it would have to be a very special situation."
Plus everyone knows he's iconic.
Be still my heart...
Well, he would be surprising to the haters and dissidents... especially the ones who say he is boring and not unique.
