As a Falcondorf main.
I mainly chose those three because they tend to be the most controversial moves when people complain about Falcondorf not being Ganondorf. I think that by giving him a few "canon" moves while still retaining most of his moveset, most people would be happy
Really? When did he do that?
So a downward punch that causes a quake is the same as his Warlock punch?...
Covers fist in magic, slams it against something, which is what the Warlock Punch does. Doesn't matter which direction he throws it.
Pretty much why I was happy when Sakurai announced that characters no longer transform. I like that Zelda, Sheik, Samus, Zero Suit Samus, and Charizard are now separate characters... but I have to be honest, I really wish that Squirtle and Ivysaur came back too... I would have loved to main the starters separately in SSB4 instead of having to switch between them during a match like in Brawl. I mean, I had fun playing as Squirtle and Ivysaur too. And... the more, the merrier, right?
Most people simply believe only 1 DLC character per franchise
...But what's the point of that?
/ , they're not going to just say "oh, they're both Pokemon, we already did Mewtwo, so it's a waste of our time." People want veterans back. What I'm saying is that it's just the noise for these two isn't nearly as loud as, say, / .
Don't ask me why people think that. I think it's dumb too, but lots of people believe 'We already have Mewtwo, why bother?' Only reason I didn't vote for the guys is because I wanted some newcomers...But what's the point of that?
If a character has a unique moveset, and can do something nobody else in the roster could give, why does it matter what games they come from?
As long as a franchise doesn't make up the most of the roster, who cares where they come from? I mean, yes, 20% of the SSB4 characters come from the Mario games and lore, but who cares? Mario is Nintendo, the huge flagship franchise, of course you're going to see a sh*t-ton of characters who come from Mario games, they're iconic and recognizable. Even then, you see Yoshi, DK and Wario making a name for themselves.
That's a problem I see a lot, this whole "representation and relevancy" thing. They do have a part in selection, we know that, but their role is so miniscule in the final part of it. Sakurai, from what we know, looks at these characters and looks into seeing what they could do as a fighter based on build, abilities, their origin game / franchise, etc. Characters aren't finalized because "oh, we need them because they're important to their franchise / fill a certain niche". That doesn't mean anything if they can't do jack.
That's why I despise the idea of "slots" and "representation". Characters are determined, in the end, by playstyle. Not to be rude, but the ideas I saw during speculation for Rosalina and Bowser Jr. were rather uninspired. There wasn't anything different to them, it felt like just giving them moves because "they can do that in that one game." Now, we have a puppet master Rosalina, and a mech-wielding Bowser Junior, something I've never seen suggested for them, but still does the characters justice and makes them different instead of just being Space Peach or Baby Bowser.
I kind of went off on a tangent here, but still. If they were to add back in
lol thought he was darkA ghost type Pokemon would indeed be cool...
.I agree,only if say K Rool gets in, Dixie then MUST be in Smash 5 and vica versa and ect XD
I never played any Pikmin game, so what differences could Alph have from Olimar if he got his own slot as a character?
Just have them move at different speeds, have different weight, different ways of attacking with the Pikmin, and have access to exclusive species of Pikmin. Pikmin 2, which Olimar was the man character in, had exclusive Purple and White Pikmin. Pikmin 3, which Alph was the face in, can use Flying and Rock Pikmin instead. Both can share Red, Blue, and Yellow Pikmin.
That's a nice thought, not necessarily something I agree or disagree with. But even if multiple characters from the same series can be DLC for one game, I don't see that happening. None of the series currently in Smash 4 right now really need more than one DLC character, and the most popular characters are mainly from different series. The only exception to this would be Wolf and Krystal, yet KKR, BWD, Inkling, and Isaac are more popular than the latter.
Two words.
Alph in my opinion should've been playable due to how well Pikmin is plus with the whole costume thing they did with Doc, Pittoo, and Lucina before they become characters on their own, it makes sense a little
On behalf of all those of us in the Smash Bros. community that want a Fire Emblem character from the fighter ballot, I'd say this is the most troublesome reasoning we really hate when discussing the characters who happen to be from that series....But what's the point of that?

Well... Alph could be much different from Olimar if he only has Rock Pikmin. They would basically be Purple Pikmin reskinned... so Alph would be much stronger than Olimar but with a much shorter range due to how far Rock Pikmin are thrown. I feel that this would make Alph play much differently from Olimar even with same moves...
He could take some elements from Brawl Olimar, (6 Pikmin & stuff). Have Winged Pikmin as regular Pikmin that home in on opponents, and Rock Pikmin that are more durable, but don't deal extra damage, or cling to opponents.
I remember someone saying that Louie would be possible using a moveset based on the insects of the series due to his "King of Bugs" title in Pikmin 2.
Excellent, now...
Why not? The most iconic (By a longshot) is the bulborb. He happens to have zero moveset potential. After that is probably the snagret. Same issue but add "can't move or jump"
It's... pretty simple, really.
were in situations that you were acting through them as pilots.
I need an Empress Bulblax AT that rolls around and poops out larvae like yesterday.
