Odd; I always feel as though I expect "heavy-weight" characters to not only be heavy, but to hit hard. I didn't even realize that Samus or Yoshi were heavy-weight characters. I suppose I realize now, but I wasn't aware until I actually thought about it.
I mostly play brawl so, that makes sense.
I've always felt that really heavy and slow characters, particularly Boswer, should be even heavier. But it looks like he may have gained some agility in the up coming version so it may not matter as much.
I think Ridley will be a playable boss character for a mode on the Wii U. I'd be fine with him being normally playable, but it would make sense for Sakurai using him to hype up a new gamemode for five players.
Muddy Mole sounds a whole lot more interesting than any other retro character imo, the ability to dig through the ground sounds pretty promising.
Yeah, but jiggs spends most of her time in the air, or on the ground but rolling towards you at the speed of light.
The roster is disgusting i predicted baby Rosalina thats how bad it is hell im still waiting for this guyI made a roster thing again., but with a twist.
52 CHARACTERS!1
before you mention mona, she's supposed to be embody another Mario Universe character
I chose Mona specifically because I think Wario will be reworked to be more based on Wario Land rather than Ware. With a character from WarioWare, it allows both franchises to be equally represented through separate characters allowing both characters to derive from separate franchises to avoid hindering one in favor of the other (like in Brawl).
That and I believe the Wario Land / Ware franchises can suffice having another character. Dixie Kong could be there too I guess but between the two, I think Mona could be the more interesting one. My only fear is that she could become a cheap knockoff of Game & Watch like Wario was in Brawl.
Other than that, I pretty much followed the basics (3rd DK character / New Retro / Mewtwo / etc.) with the Pre3 and PreDirect leaks.
I'd probably place the random button underneath the last row, but stretch it out so it wouldn't look so weird.
EXCUSE ME HER NAME IS PINK GOLD PEACH JEEZ
really though I'm mad about that, I actually wanted Nabbit. I guessed Baby Rosalina right though, the fan fictions have become TRUE.
I suppose most people are trying to predict Sakurai; so it is easier to just list the top character choices. I mean; there is a lot of logic for characters like Black Shadow or Waddle Dee, but they are shut out because no one believes Sakurai would actually implement them. I agree though, that is why I don't really rate rosters. The only "advice" you can give to someone would include the popular opinion.
I just like to let people believe what they want when it comes to rosters at this point.
Its because we are all impatient, hungry, bored creatures who have nothing to go off on atm.
Safe expectations for the roster feel boring to me now.
He did once, but it was a long lost quote that he'll considered him and that he's pretty cool too.
I don't see your point, do you have a fish character in mind? Or an insect?
Yes; I remember being told that my wish roster had to adhere to certain qualities. They stated that I couldn't cut Mario for Dr. Mario in my dream roster... haha.
I have a solution to all of those.
People still bossing people about in there dreams!
A playable boss mode would be fun; don't get me wrong. But developing and programming a move-set for those characters seems like a waste, might as well make them playable. I expect something greater for the Wii U.
It would make great use for the Wii U Gamepad.
I agree; and personally, the only character that's even slightly worthy of that role is Ridley anyway. No one wants to play as the Yellow Devil, really.
You say that with a troll face; but the sad, sad, and very unfortunate truth is that it might be the case. You know Nintendo. I almost forgot about the Gamepad; surely they will force some unwarranted gimmick onto Smash with that horrible device!It would make great use for the Wii U Gamepad.
The fabulous Ghirahim.
You're right, if you combine ground and air speed, King Dedede is the slowest.
That would be silly, I was thinking bigger bosses would work.The fabulous Ghirahim.
I'd argue there's a huge difference between a series being "dead" and a series being over. Mother is over- Itoi said he has no plans to continue the series and liked the ending. Miyamoto never said Star Fox was over, just dormant- i.e. dead.
Precisely; Starfox isn't dead, it is dormant. That being said, it is entirely irrelevant to Smash. The characters already made it into the game, people are just discerning arbitrary correlations between a franchise's life (along with the subjective aspect of "worthiness") and Smash. F-Zero thoroughly refutes this notion, even with one character. Thus the notion that Starfox is "dead" and therefore it doesn't "deserve" to retain two veterans, each hosting a plethora of merits, is fallacious.
Which, in my opinion, is even more incentive to retain Lucas and Ness, as they now have a sort of "historical" importance.
Which is the same reason many advocate for Game and Watch or R.O.B to also be included in upcoming titles. Their time may be over, but it has nothing to do with their chances in Smash. In a Smash context, they are veterans first, and "dead" or "finished" series characters second.
From what I'm trying to see...Miyamoto has no idea what to do with it. (Which is bad considering that they would rather work on the next game internally instead of outsourcing it but thats for another topic)
I suppose; the 45 would be the minimalist approach and the 54 would be the excessive approach. I feel as though the 48 and 50 rosters wouldn't have that much variation though, you should probably only do 3. That is just my opinion though.
That definitely does seem to be the case and it's understandable. The original on-rail shooter that Star Fox was doesn't really work well as a stand alone game in this day and age unless it's much cheaper in price or drastically drawn out which is not a good genre to do that in. Any attempt to reinvent or expand the series beyond it's roots has been met with mixed or poor reception in general.
I honestly wouldn't mind an on-the-rails shooter akin to Starfox 64; I don't necessarily believe that I am in the minority. However, I see what you are saying, it could work on the 3ds though.
To the fans. Everybody else was all "Good." "OK" or "Meh"
46, 50, 54? Is that better? This is an experiment.
As for me I'm a pessimist, when it comes to roster size, but I'm glad to hear you say you will still play the game even if it doesn't live up to everything you dream it will be. I really hate people saying things like "if so and so is not in the game, or if so and so is cut, I'm not getting it". "Like, come on! Are you even a smash fan?" is what I wanna say. "You think this game is being specially made for you?"
I honestly believe that 46, 50, and 54 are better roster selections, but it is obviously up to you. I can't wait to see this experiment.
