Official DLC Character Discussion Thread - Read the new sticky/announcement

[Burruni]

For me, Rhythm Heaven would be best w/ a character like Marshall, who could use 2 of the Chorus Kids in other parts of the moveset, like Smashes for extra reach, or a Glee Club special where they appear on each side to sing, and going in rhythm with the song would make Marshall sing extremely loud, stunning opponents. I don't know what the rest would be, but to me, Marshall (or just a singular "Chorus Kid") would be the better choice, considering you can get away with a lot of the more wacky Rhythm Heaven mini-games using a more simple body type compared to Karate Joe or the Wrestler.

Honestly, I've felt like a somewhat blank slate of an "MC" character as opposed to Karate Joe is better because a) you can have him kinda work into the general animation for a motley of the mini-games, akin to , and b) It grants more of a versatility in the name of the franchise instead of someone who seems like they should be fixed into a specific fighting style. Seeing the Wrestler pull out the Samurai Sword would be a little out of nowhere (yes I know about Remix 5 having the "ninja wrestler.")

This may be irrelevant, but Toon Link has been confirmed for Hyrule Warriors Legends.

Im expecting him to be based on Triforce Heroes Toon Link Personally.

Honestly, I want him to have some WW/PH/ST exclusive items for his arsenal.

Make the SAND WAND do something, have him switch the stances of the 3 faeries from PH, maybe even the Skull Hammer as a more comical weapon

I always felt that if Tink needed to be decloned more, Sand Wand could be used as a way to create platforms, kinda like Hydrant and Phantom Slash combined

 

[Lord-Zero]

He cannot be used in legend Mode but it makes sense considering the fact that HW Link IS the main Link in that game.

 

[The Novice Sword]

On the Rhythm Heaven topic (because I am really interested in the franchise and would like to see it in Smash) what about the "Rhythm Girl" character? I've seen her brought up sometimes and my understanding is that she's a mascot of sorts who has appeared in most of the games. Could she work as a sort of generic RH character? Maybe use aspects of lots of different minigames from across the series?

Again, I don't know a whole lot about it so I apologize for my ignorance.

She could use things inspired from other charafters.

 

[Lord-Zero]

For the situation with FE is this:
Just keep Marth, Ike and Robin and add no one else but them but it'll poss off the fanbase who wants a rep from past games (Lyn, Hector, Sigurd and Micaiah), reps from recent games (Corrin/Kamui and Azura) and the characters I cut out (). Thing is you can please the FE side because it has so many characters to work with but so little of a franchise to have that many.

I'd be fine with just Ike, Robin and Marth. Any others could work fine as DLC for those who want them. FE has 14 games now so the demand for more FE reps is understandable. FE has a large cast, after all. An Eliwood/Sigurd combo with the weapon triangle and a horse (probably working similar to the Wario Bike) and I wouldn't ask for any others. The beauty of DLC is that it's optional so if you don't like a certain character that's DLC, you don't have to get him/her.

As for Zelda DLC reps, Lana (to rep the successful Hyrule Warriors. Skull Kid costume included), Tingle or Vaati.

 

[The Novice Sword]

Then in my humble, admittedly only sort of informed opinion, that's who we should get as a Rhythm Heaven fighter.

The Chorus Kids can be an assist trophy/stage hazard and Karate Joe and the Wrestler can be DLC Mii Costumes. I'd buy that DLC pack.

Actually, I'd like to see the Rhythm Girl, too! Also, yes, you could say she is a "mascot" of sorts for the RH franchise. (Then again, about 5+ characters could also be considered this for RH.) I'll say this much, she HAS appeared in every game in the series, in one form or the other as well. And you asked if she could work as a generic character, am I right? Well, here's something I posted on her support thread about her that made me think, along with a couple of others, that she'd be a viable playable rep for RH in Smash:

Spoiler

Let me put it like this, she seems the most "rounded" out of all the other viable RH reps (Except for maybe Beat (my pet name for Rhythm Monkey), I suppose.) and to me, she doesn't seem "limited" to only one minigame compared to the likes of the Chorus Kids, Wrestler (and Reporter), Samurai Steve, Karate Joe, and even Marshal and his friends if you can understand what I mean by that. She seems like she could represent all of Rhythm Heaven in the sense that she could use stuff from all 3 RH games without it looking "weird" compared to the other "viable" RH reps, along with the possible fact that, unlike Marshal and his friends, she's probably appeared in every game in the series so far, and like Erotic&Heretic said, she's also probably the character who represents/teaches the player how to play the games....in the games themselves. So it seem only fitting that she would be a/the playable rep of RH, right?

DLC assist trophies are in my opinion a NO. They could cause a lot of controversy.

 

[DustyPumpkin]

All of specials including her customs are all from 's arsenal in Uprising and her boss fight in there has none of that in Smash 4.

Okay in Palutena's defense those are her powers in the first place, she even says that in her trailer.

Everyone else is fair game though aaaaand also evidence that Sakurai's Ridley excuse is a load a m'larky

Sounds good to me then. It would make a lot of sense for her to be a DLC fighter then. I kinda wish I had voted for her now. (Also this Rhythm Monkey intrigues me. Could they be an aspect of the Girl's moveset (summoned and sent away or even a RosaLuma set up?)

DLC assist trophies are in my opinion a NO. They could cause a lot of controversy.

You're probably right. It would be a bit of a pain. Stage Hazard it is then!

How is Marshal stuck in one archetype? correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't he only appear in one minigame (Night Walk), and it's not even his. (Smart Alecs saying he was in Remix 10 need not reply.)


EDIT: Honestly, I think Rhythm Heaven needs more than one character. It's big enough for it, and the popular choices are stuck in one archetype.
Well...I suppose (IIIIIII SUPPOSE!!!!!) the Chorus Kids could do reference things like Flipper Flop, but it wouldn't make much sense for them as their character doing that.

 

[Burruni]

Yo, it's been a while since I've done this. So...

Between DLC and Smash 5, based on what we currently have on the series' of Nintendo.

Here's my thoughts on expansions to the roster.

Spoiler

: Captain Toad is the last "main" series character that really stands ground as a fighter. Otherwise, we go to the spin-off king and queen of Waaaaa and Daisy, or icons of the RPG series.. which at this point pretty much stands fully as Paper Mario as M&L killed off the only major reoccuring original character (Fawful).

: ....Yeah, no. The only characters not shared with main Mario are babies, the stork, and generic enemies.

: K. Rool, Dixie, and as a stretch Cranky.

: As I expect Wario Land to be ignored on majority, Warioware... possibly could get Ashley.
: Ganon has the most merit and credential as a newcomer. Impa & Tingle have some lesser roles but sizable support. The likes of Tetra, Ghirahim, Midna, and Skull Kid are "One Game Wonders" still.

: Bandana Dee is pretty much the only major one to add. Some dispute Magalor but.. he has one game as a villain and a lesser role in Dream Collection.

: A starter or otherwise highly promoted Pokemon from generation 7/8, hopefully grass-type to solve the missing third o the triangle. I don't see any of our 3 missing veterans to return.

: Wolf returns, ....Krystal is the only real expansion chance, in my opinion.

: Ridley is the only major candidate, with Dark Samus in second. Kraid has been shrugged off, Mother Brain... has her issues, and Sylux/Rundas are too minor.

: Stays the exact same.

: Let's focus on getting a new game, first, kiddo.

: A major protagonist from FE 15-17(?) or Anna.

(Retro): Icies return (Sma5h), otherwise, Takamaru is the most popular, but someone like ExciteBiker could be a surprise choice.

: No expansion.

: More alts out of captains, but no actual characters.

: MAYBE getting Tails or Eggman.

: Isabelle or Tom Nook... Isabelle's just growing too much in possibility and usage to not seem as more likely.

: ....Moving on.

: Staying the same.

: Honestly, I don't think anyone from X will come, with Elma being the most likely of them. I don't think we'll see a third Xenoblade game before our next Smash game.

"New" Nintendo Series for Fighters: Splatoon, Golden Sun, Rhythm Heaven, Chibi Robo being the big 4. MAYBE the Wonderful series... if we see W102 and if it does well.

(3rd Party Icons): Simon Belmont, a Final Fantasy Character, Bomberman, or Rayman

Indie Stars: Shantae, Butt-Butt aka Shovel Knight, MAYBE Yooka-Laylee.

Technically Tetra was in Phantom Hourglass but that wasn't a main line game I guess. Even then she still has plenty of issues regardless.

Everything else I agree with though except it is missing Viridi

To be fair, Tetra appears for the opening and ending of the game only. MAYBE a cutscene in the middle when you clear the Ghost Ship dungeon. It's been years. Yes, she technically has been in two games. But... she really does nothing in Phantom Hourglass, so I kinda hold her as a one-game wonder (because there's nothing to draw from). There's also that japan-only game where she's the "MC" for it but I have no knowledge on how it would weigh on her.

At least, it needs Viridi as a possible option. My opinion. Not saying you HAVE to do it, though.

 

[Burruni]

I don't see KI expanding at all for DLC/Smash 5. Especially with the fact that Sakurai has firmly stated he has no intentions on making a sequel to Uprising and will probably lead the series to go dormant.

 

[A Distant Demon]

At least, it needs Viridi as a possible option. My opinion. Not saying you HAVE to do it, though.

Yeah viridi is my #1 most wanted and KIU is my favorite game of all time and all but any form of newcomer from the series would be extremely absurd. And that includes for smash 5 as well (especially without a sequel which I expect)
maybe for smash 6 if there is a squel.

I'm not hating on Marshal or anything, you know. @The Novice Sword asked about Rhythm Girl, so I'm just giving him an answer that I thought would make the most sense for him. I understand that Marshal would also be a viable choice too. If anything, I'm saying Rhythm Girl would work because of all the promotion she shows up in for RH, and this next point is my own personal opinion, I am NOT saying that this next point will hands down make her a shoo-in for Smash, but I want to point it out. What my point was, was that Rhythm Girl could be considered as "ambigous" enough, somewhat similar to /. So with that, she could represent RH in a playstyle that could envelop ALL of RH. Of course, I'm not ruling out Marshal either. Matter of fact, I'd love to see him in Smash, if Rhythm Girl and/or the Chorus Kids don't work out.

Sounds good to me then. It would make a lot of sense for her to be a DLC fighter then. I kinda wish I had voted for her now. (Also this Rhythm Monkey intrigues me. Could they be an aspect of the Girl's moveset (summoned and sent away or even a RosaLuma set up?)

I like this idea a lot because Smash could use a Summoner style fighter. Plus teams as a single character is a fun concept.

This reminds me.
On one day of RtC, we did the not-team-rocket of Fossil Fighters.
I bought Fossil Fighters: Frontier during my abscence and have been playing through it.
It's a 6/10 game due to being just barely engaging to hold at a remarkably average title.
At most, I'd maybe see an assist trophy of this series come Smash 5.

[jranks]

I just want King K Rool the most. I wanted Ridley, but Sakurai pretty said he'll never be in this game

 

[Lord-Zero]

DLC assist trophies are in my opinion a NO. They could cause a lot of controversy.

Like what happened with Waluigi and Takamaru (in Japan)?

 

[Doctor_Link]

I want a sonic character. Period. My only problem is that almost all of the sonic characters would present the same meta problem that sonic does: they would all have supreme camping game because of their super-speed compared to every one else.

What are your opinions?

I know. I was just wondering why you said Marshal was trapped in a theme like the other Rhythm Heaven characters.

EDIT: @ Doctor_Link : Dr. Eggman (by himself) wouldn't be fast, Shadow & Tails could be slower than Sonic. (Shadow because he is floating. You can float faster than Sonic, or you can float slower than Ganondorf. Easily manipulated. For Tails, you can just make him run, or have his jumps be a bit slower.) Also, part of Sonic's speed are his Special Moves. If you want a slower paced character, than Knuckles, Tails, and Dr. Eggman would easily play differently, and be less elusive. In fact at a glance, with my not-so-vast knowlage about the Sonic franchise, I could probably make a motif for them.
Tails: Zoning based, has powerful KO moves, but they are very laggy.
Knuckles: Really fast movement speed, but really slow attack speed. One of few characters that can glide.
Dr. Eggman: Slow heavy weight that could rely on building machines to protect him. (so basically a summoner)
Shadow: Not as fast as Sonic, but can do some crazy things in battle.
Metal Sonic: Ummmmmmmm...........He can be Dr. Eggman's Final Smash. As a playable character? Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.............................He can be fast and stuff.

On one day of RtC, we did the not-team-rocket of Fossil Fighters.
I bought Fossil Fighters: Frontier during my abscence and have been playing through it.
It's a 6/10 game due to being just barely engaging to hold at a remarkably average title.
At most, I'd maybe see an assist trophy of this series come Smash 5.

I've played FFF too, and the only part I have left is the final boss. He's super hard.

Anyways, I do want a playable character from the series, but someone from the first two games: Dynal. He'd represent the series well due to his ability to become a Vivosaur.

Do I see him happening? Not at all. Do I see the Fossil Fighters series getting a playable character? Can't tell. It does have a great shot at getting an Assist Trophy though, seeing as we have Jill, Dr. Kawashima, and Nintendog.

What about Viridi?

1) I said my point about KI as a whole with the two people who brought up viridi on the last page
2) WHY DOES EVERYONE SAY VIRIDI AND NOT, Y'KNOW, MEDUSA... THE ACTUAL VILLAIN OF THE SERIES

Because, she's been much more important than Medusa as of now and Dark Pit is her second in command, like how Pit has Palutena, She just fits in so perfect.

Out of fear Sakurai would go the easy-way-out and make her a Palutena clone?

well she can't really be the villain of the series when she is only the villain of 1 of 3 games. . .
Medusa is boring
Medusa barely has any appearance in Uprising. I think she has like 10 lines in the whole game
She doesn't have a scythe or nature powers
Most people with KI knowledge played Uprising but not the original and even fewer ACTUALLY made it to Medusa. Even then the Medusa fight is . . .weird. I would even call it bad.
Not as "funny" as Hades
A buttload less likely to appear in future games. Medusa could very well be dead and if not she is a puppet again. Viridi however is nearly guaranteed.

etc etc

I believe that the veteranship holds more grounds. That's just me.

Unless she started as a costume or had a model from a tech demo that fits the animations, I wouldn't worry.

Oni you know like 70% of that was poking fun.

Honestly, I thought Medusa was still the big boss of Myths & Monsters.

That's how little anyone knows about it.

Honestly I needed an excuse to talk about Viridi. . . I haven't had any propaganda in a few months :/

Naw that was mega satan.
You think i'm joking?

Yeah that game was actually really really weird. It made a game with eggplant wizards look weirder. . .yeah.

1) I said my point about KI as a whole with the two people who brought up viridi on the last page
2) WHY DOES EVERYONE SAY VIRIDI AND NOT, Y'KNOW, MEDUSA... THE ACTUAL VILLAIN OF THE SERIES

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'd like to see Medusa too, but somehow I feel that Viridi sort of got a much bigger role in KI:U. (Unless I'm wrong. If someone could help me confirm it, that'd be great.) Also, and this is a personal peeve of mine, but I wasn't a big fan of her personality in Palutena's Guidance in Smash 4, and it sort of irritated me just a little bit. Basically, you know how some people wanted in Smash for the sole purpose of taking on the dog personally after all his years of trolling them? I (slighlty) feel that way about Viridi. Again, I'm in no way opposed to Medusa, believe you me, but aside form that "personal" reason, I really do feel as if Viridi seems to have had a bigger part to play in Kid Icarus: Uprising than her, to be honest.

 

[The Novice Sword]

I know. I was just wondering why you said Marshal was trapped in a theme like the other Rhythm Heaven characters.

EDIT: @ Doctor_Link : Dr. Eggman (by himself) wouldn't be fast, Shadow & Tails could be slower than Sonic. (Shadow because he is floating. You can float faster than Sonic, or you can float slower than Ganondorf. Easily manipulated. For Tails, you can just make him run, or have his jumps be a bit slower.) Also, part of Sonic's speed are his Special Moves. If you want a slower paced character, than Knuckles, Tails, and Dr. Eggman would easily play differently, and be less elusive. In fact at a glance, with my not-so-vast knowlage about the Sonic franchise, I could probably make a motif for them.
Tails: Zoning based, has powerful KO moves, but they are very laggy.
Knuckles: Really fast movement speed, but really slow attack speed. One of few characters that can glide.
Dr. Eggman: Slow heavy weight that could rely on building machines to protect him. (so basically a summoner)
Shadow: Not as fast as Sonic, but can do some crazy things in battle.
Metal Sonic: Ummmmmmmm...........He can be Dr. Eggman's Final Smash. As a playable character? Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.............................He can be fast and stuff.

I think Knuckles could be a slower character with a more grapply brawly style of fighting. Plus with this ability to glide he could be floaty too. I also think Metal Sonic would be a really good semi-clone of Sonic. Slower, but still fairly quick.

You also forgot someone important...Amy! She's got a big, honking hammer to fight with which could lend itself to a slower style of combat.

Sonic reps? Dr. Eggman or nothing. Well, maybe Amy.
