I don't know who JDN is, and I imagine it is related to Krystal's Staff?
It's just an abbreviation I have for another user who I seldom have any agreements with ever since I came here.

But enough of that, I'll admit yes, it would've been about her staff, but other Krystal supporters asked me not to talk about it in this thread, and I haven't checked her respective thread in forEVER!!!

I would love the idea of Krystal using a staff; however, I think that it be more appropriate if it was a new Staff made for the game. As in, basically an electronic staff is what I would like to see, as it would fit her new occupation better.

I prefer not to refer to people directly, but yes.
What is your name for me? Ma? That is just creepy, no offense.

I agree with this sentiment. It doesn't necessarily have to be a different staff, but it would be cool if he incorporated new abilities into it.

Here is the definition of semi, as you clearly do not already comprehend it.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeasy, tiger. That's a little too far.
You don't have a reputation for flaming, don't start one now.

Wolf is not like Dr. Mario, or even like Toon Link.
Wolf is a semi-clone, yeah. Keywords: Semi; clone.

When I say clone, I mean anything from Dr. Mario to Wolf. Whether straight-up or heavily altered, a clone is still a clone. You know what I'm talking about, so we shouldn't need to quantify every term with posts like this which are entirely about semantics.

Don't make a mountain out of a molehill; when speaking with text it's easy to be misconstrued.

P.S. There is nothing I cannot comprehend.

Despise? That's a little intense. There are many evils in this world, but Mewtwo isn't one of them.
Have you ever considered indifference as an alternative to extreme feelings toward inconsequential things?

Regarding your roster, I love the addition of King Boo and Chorus Men. I'm having a little trouble working out how Slime would work as a character, though.
Mewtwo is my third least favorite Pokémon. Despise might be exaggerating, but I still strongly dislike him.

Slime could morph its body, summon other Slimes, use moves it uses in the DQ games, etc. Check his thread for movesets.

AND MEWTWO IS AN EVIL IN MY WORLD WHICH REVOLVES AROUND ME RAAAAAAAAAGH

Perhaps, though I think it would cool if were a piece of new technology developed by the SF, or something. To fit with the aesthetic the other Starfox characters have.

New page, new experimental Prediction/Wish Roster!

View attachment 14635
I think I should explain my new choices.

Anna: It's become increasingly apparent that uniqueness is a major factor in newcomer selection. Which is why I can't see them adding Chrom by himself. It would be, quite honestly, a waste of a slot.

I think Anna is a viable candidate on her own for many reasons. One of the reasons Awakening was so successful is because of it's DLC, and all the present FE characters represent that. Anna would too, as she's featured extensively in the DLC chapters (including as a boss) and is basically it's mascot. Besides, she's been present in every game in the series. I don't think she's a mascot or anything, but she stands out and has history, and I think that she has a good, viable chance to get in.

Pac-Man: Pac-Man represents the Arcade era, which is where Nintendo's business really began. This Pac-Man doesn't speak; he uses sound effects from the classic arcade game.

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT REMOVING GHIRAHIM.
I'd be pretty cool with this roster. My only major gripe is that I want Isaac. But I don't expect him 100%.

Each character has about 15 attacks; if my repugnant math skills are accurate. So; let us, for one second, pretend that Wolf shares all 4 special attacks (which he does not).

15-4= 11, if I am not mistaken.

Here is the definition of semi, as you clearly do not already comprehend it.

So I don't know what else he could be; however, I do know what he cannot be.

Isn't "semi-" correct? half clone? :p

I didn't think it was too far, just too honest. :troll:

Objectively speaking, Wolf isn't a clone. I don't know what else to say, did you read the definition? The more accurate term that you are looking for is "pseudo-clone." I do feel the inherent desire to argue semantics, as you are not properly using the term. Wolf isn't a clone. I apologize.

I didn't misconstrue anything; you are clearly defending the position that I thoroughly refuted. Therefore it is improbable that there was any misinterpretation on my part. Perhaps I was being far too literal.

Maybe if we are talking about aesthetics; fifteen minus four is eleven, eleven is not half of fifteen. I would argue that Wolf doesn't even share an U-Special, S-Special, or N-Special to be perfectly honest. The reflector is the only move, and again, it has completely different properties.

I don't what to do with Isaac at this point.
Hope for the best, it is all that we can do.

While on the topic of Krystal, she would definitely need her Command or Assault uniform (preferably Assault) and not her adventures one... or does that go without saying?

I would honestly want both her Assault and her Adventures outfit, one as the alternate, obviously.

Ike's Ragnell is not known to be a sword with magical fire capabilities like Roy's Sword of Seals is. The only reason Ike would have a move that not only has the same ignition properties as Roy's sword, but the same exact function as Roy's Flare Blade attack would be because it's a throwback to Roy.
It does, though.


^ Blue Fire
(I know it doesn't look like fire, but it's SUPPOSED to be fire)

"Ike, the Hero of Blue Flames"

"Why isn't the fire in Eruption blue?"
Sakurai is a doofus. Project M corrected it.

themoreyouknow.gif

Also, Eruption doesn't function EXACTLY like Flare Blade
- Eruption has armor frames
- Eruption has a meteor
- Flare Blade sucks

(would've replied sooner, but reasons)

It's much harder to argue for cutting clone characters this time around (and by clone characters I mostly mean Wolf and Lucas). Melee's cut clones were cheap and uninspired, copying the majority of their movesets with minimal effort to differentiate them from the characters they were based on. Wolf and Lucas take only the bare bones of Fox and Ness' specials. Their smashes and aerials and whatnot, for the most part, unique. And even the specials are differentiated in their functionality. It's clear some effort was put into keeping them distinct from their predecessors. The same can't exactly be said for Toon Link in terms of his moveset, but his height, weight, and physics were certainly enough to keep him playing differently from Link - and lo and behold, he's back for Smash 4.

The whole argument against clones just generally doesn't hold up so well. If characters are cut, it'll most likely be for other reasons: time constraints being the big one.

Would love to see her Assault attire maybe with some elements of Adventure and Command pop in

Most Likely Design Roster.png


New Roster. I updated some of the images.

I feel it's pretty safe, but I think this is pretty close to what were going to get. I might need to add a retro, but I think its pretty good. Any suggestions?

I don't really care for him too much either; I support him for my sister. She wants him to a lesser extent than Chrom or Palutena, but she still wants him. I believe that he would be one of the more unique candidates though.
Oh, definitely. I honestly think he and Shulk are competing for a spot.

New prediction roster, brought everyone back besides Snake, Ivysaur, and Squirtle. Cutting anybody besides them is a grim reaper chasing me at this point.

Give me a look that doesn't sexualize her, and I'll be fine with Krystal.

Wolf or Falco should go first for me personally if someone has to leave.

I started reading this; I wanted to commit suicide; I continued to read it, and I was surprised. I agree with you wholeheartedly.

Yes: It needs Ganon, Hades, and Black Shadow. Right now, it isn't that good of a roster, but my advice? My advice will take you to the top, where you belong!

Pseudo-clone? That works for me. Good definition.

As the spectrum goes; he's on the very far-away, blurry end. Is that enough to make him not a clone? Not even a little bit?
Objectively speaking, all his special moves are based on Fox's. Whether or not that makes him a clone is up to the individual's definition, I suppose.

My main gripe with Wolf is, if Sakurai went to that much trouble to make Wolf so different from Fox, why not go all the way?

I would go with the Command design, that is the closest you will get. She pretty much seems to serve that purpose well; in other words, she is the obligatory "sexy woman" character of the team.

Command is more "cartoony" if you will, so there is less of a focus on this.

Also, I refrain from commenting on the roster (you know what I will say)

If your definition of a cloned move is "inspired by" as opposed to "identical," maybe.

I agree, Wolf could be further differentiated. But I believe that the reflector will stay for the same reason that Ike's counter is probably going to stay: consistency.

I trust you; you are clearly a true fan of the character. I have no preferences as I am not really associated with Pac-Man in regards to anything other than the notion that I have played his game. I cannot even tell the difference to be perfectly truthful. So I hope that GA Pac-Man is added (if one was to be included); for his real fans, fans that aren't fans of his because he doesn't have a stereotypical personality.
Aw, thanks dude. And yeah, I've been a fan ever since I was a kid. Regardless of what Pac-Man it is, I'll always be a fan. No idea why. Pac-Man was the first game I ever played and it's my favorite game of all time and will always be.

I haven't played much Pac Man, but for the sake of fanservice I'd love to see classic AND modern Pac.
Alt costumes. Alt costumes everywhere.
You know what? That would be absolutely perfect for Pac-Man. They're almost the exact same design, just with a few subtle but important differences, so this would require next to no effort.
They could definitely do that. Would make everyone happy. The only thing I can see that might cause problems are his eyes. The newer GA eyes are far more expressive and involve more movement than his classic eyes. But I don't know the technical details of the game in development, so I have no idea how hard this would be to cover up or remove. Here's to hoping though. :smash:

Well, obviously, removing eyes is clearly not difficult, otherwise they would'nt have Wireframe Mac.

If they remove the rotting flesh with the eyes.

But yeah, they changed Villager's eyes, I don't see why they couldn't do the same to the Pacster.

It looked fairly standard until I saw Sandslash; why Sandslash? Is he one of your favorites.

There's a stark difference between the dictionary definition and the definition described in the above link.
Definitions change depending on how, where, and why they are used. Hence, arguing semantics in a place where common words get mangled and turned into jargon is an entirely meaningless conversation.

So please please, pretty please with a cherry, could you stop pulling apart my use of English? I don't often beg. See what you've reduced me to?

Ahem...

I agree with the reflector thing; it's kind of a franchise signature.

Kamek's been deconfirmed,he's in Smash Run. Also,Sandslash? What?
Its a want roster, so I can really add whoever I want. If that bugs you, then I guess replace him with Krystal.

Sandslash, while pretty random, is probably my favorite Pokemon of all time and I would love to see him in Smash (The choice is not realistic by any stretch.) The same applies to Goemon; would love to see him, but never will.

*Notices Goemon*

Are you sure that you aren't Croi from Miiverse?
Nah. More than one person is allowed to like Goemon right? (rightfully so, his games are awesome.) I was thinking about adding Banjo-Kazooie as well because theyre so awesome

Only because you reduced yourself to begging; I was going to go all Webster again, but I will let this slide.
