I do not mind the Sal leak characters as of current, but a year down the line when I am trying to enjoy Smash, I am going to look back and remember characters that I could envision in the game. The most prominent Legend of Zelda villain, one that makes Ganondorf look as though he is a secondary character. King K. Rool, the perfect heavy-weight with vast move-set potential, another Donkey Kong character, something that has been long overdue. Ridley, the main antagonist of Metroid. A character that offers so much to the roster diversity. I don't count Mewtwo as he is blatantly in the game as a playable character. The second Sal deconfirms him is the second I realize that the leak is 100% BS.
There are others, but these are the big ones. I am going to look back, remember that I wanted these characters. And then I am going to look at the character select screen avoiding most of the newcomers. Luckily, there is reason to believe the leak as fallacious.
I mean, I don't mind chrom, he's just bland, imo. I'd prefer not to have 3 blue haired FE sword users, and ike is fairly unique. or even chorus men, because I know there's at least one more WTF surprise sakurai has for us left, there always is. I'd prefer like, mach rider, and he's always on his bike, or something, but I mean, the point of a wtf character is i didn't expect it.
But like, I hate the idea of a second kid icarus rep. no way in hell does the series deserve it, imo. I hate pac-man's 3D form. If sakurai could somehow work out the original pacman I would actually be ecstatic, but 3D pacman makes me wanna barf.
mii's are just a little bleh. I mean, sure, a customizable face would be aight, but they already feel so out of place and blase in mario kart, I just don't like them. I feel like them + wii fit is overkill for wii themed characters.
And I never played xenoblade so I have no want of shulk. maybe I'd like him if i played the game, but just his art alone doesn't get me interested in him. another JRPG sword user? no thank you please.
I just want Ridley lol I don't care about too much else at this point. who knows how that'll turn out. I've gotten a bit excited on the prospects of Ganon, Isaac, and Ray01, and K. Rool, but idk how likely any of them are. I'd like to see mewtwo and snake return as well.
Honestly I'm pretty easy to please, I love the new additions to the roster, I can't wait to try Rosalina, Villager, and Greninja, and Megaman. Charizard is my fav pokemon by far, so I love to see him solo. I was rooting for that waaay pre brawl, made the original charizard support thread xD. I'll be a little sad if Ridley is a stage hazard, but the pyrosphere is so ****ing beautiful that it's hard to be mad. just sucks to see metriod always getting the short end of the stick from nintendo.
but the less of the remaining sal characters I see in the final roster, honestly, the happier I'll be.
