More like they made the roster fit around how many characters they wanted to add, making it so it's a perfect rectangle
I see this theory will continue to live on forever. I'm not stating that we will never get 6 characters. I'm just saying, that doesn't really prove anything. I think we're getting 4-5 characters max.
Those I've spoken to all know it in the exact same way for some reason... Not sure if Octogirl knows it in same way too.
What characters could fit that bill tho? Only one I can think of - sorta counts- is Rayman since his series sold 28m or so and he is behind Shovel, Shantae and Snake in general popularity for Smash I believe.
And since it's so nice...it won't happen.
Don't you think it's convenient though that adding 6 characters to both rosters makes it a complete rectangle, plus 6 is a pretty good number of characters creating a total of 10 DLC characters, it just works so well
IF we ARE getting six....then I'll need a bigger wallet soon. XD
I would really like another on a vehicle like Bowser Jr is. Would love Mach Rider, personally.I know you guys are talking about archer characters getting into Smash, but what about characters on mounts? Specifically horses by the way. Can't see a Wyvern or a Pegasus Knight in Smash as awesome that would be. Mounted units in my opinion would be just as interesting as an archer.
I can see the character as both a foot fighter and a horse rider. They could use one of their specials to summon a horse, similar to how Wario summons his bike. The horse could have an HP bar, similar to Luma. If the horse gets hit a certain amount of times, the character dismounts. Also, the horse can be used for an extra jump boost kind of like Yoshi from Super Mario World. Once the horse is dismounted for a short period of time, instead of just exploding (lol) it could just disappear like Mega Man's Rush Coil.
As for the weapons the mounted character could use, they could use a sword, a lance or both. You could use the lance for range, and the sword for close ranged fighting. Forgot to mention that the horse could be mounted if you wanted to deal more damage to your opponent.
I can definitely see problems with this though... For one thing the horse may be too big. Also, I can see a lot of end lag in each of these moves. What do you guys think?

Sakurai is pretty tired right now. I wouldn't mind 6 more characters. But you're only setting yourself up for disappointment if you REALLY believe we are going to get 6 more characters.
I want a mounted character really badly now just to see your response. XD
Not like they have to be used.
However, it means they CAN be used, ergo more is possible
Considering they didn't bother with complete rectangles during launch, I don't see them caring that much about getting a rectangle.
Kaepora Gaepora confirmed gaiz
They aren't gonna have a whole page for just a few characters, that'd look weird
I don't, I'm just thinking that it's a possibility, we also don't know how DLC development is being handled, we don't know how much involvement Sakurai has anyway and if it's the same as before I doubt they're as pressed for time as they were before
That was for DLC stages. Also I don't know how many characters we'll get, (I think up to eight is the most logical) but I don't mind six.
Er...There were types of arrows found, one on the Stage Select menu, the other on the CSS
Any video game character that has appeared on a nintendo console is possible
I think you misunderstood. Back in the day, I interpreted Sakurai's interview about balance being more of multiplication than addition as an allusion to Pokemon Trainer's removal. I also figured that with the whole disclaimer that he was going to omit characters (yet I was certain that he was not referring to clones such as Toon Link because they were low effort) that it was logical enough. I just sort of had to wing "refuting" the notion that Pokemon Trainer was the single most important character Pokemon character not named Pikachu. It was merely devil's advocate as I, to this day, believe that Pokemon Trainer represented Pokemon the franchise the best. I did not want his removal per se, I just predicted it.Shovel Knight:
As a frontrunner of the -bring back nostalgia but in new ways- movement, the game has always appealed to me.
The more support he gets, rather, the more ridiculous press he gets trying to claim he is likely/important/anything bigger than what he is, it unfortunately leaves a sour taste in my mouth... such is unfortunate, as he seems like a fun, if not generally bland, character.
Pokemon Trainer, the OG avatar character and protagonist of Pokemon's main games, is the biggest, bar none, disappointment to the roster. The only thing more upsetting is when his importance to NINTENDO and POP CUTURE as a whole are diminished by fanboyism.
In himself he represents more of the franchise than every other Mon, which are just popular characters, except Mewtwo. Bring him back with summon and the ability to utilize the games' main vehicle, the POKEBALL, and he will be a force with whom to be reckoned. Come at me with this one anyone, I will take on any contrary point. For it, I beg.
EDIT: To be clear, my point is that Pikachu and Mewtwo are the only ones on the roster, currently, who are not *merely* popular, but are actually indicative of more to the series. Pikachu is the mascot (and surrogate protagonist I suppose), Mewtwo is the original boss, legendary, and antagonist to the original movie.
I wish Medusa had been added as a clone in the first place, instead of Dark Pit. Not as if Palutena does not have enough source Material for her. Different defaults and, ta-da.
I wish Nintendo would pick up this Drag/Greek world and continue the franchise. If Nintendo were to release a new game for it, or an announcement, I would respect a character much more so, as the characters in the world could easily be my third favorite from Nintendo.
I would just find it a waste of DLC, in regard to helping Nintendo long term, to add another Kid Icarus character, given the current situation.
I'd love to see a true archer archetype used for a fighter. I know something that came up in the RTC thread was if we got a Mii Fighter Class as DLC. A Mii Archer/Bowman/Ranger (Whatever you would like to call it) would be awesome.
We really do need a true archer in this game. bows are probably my 2nd favorite weapon in games (Juuuust before spears) and the closest we have is pit who uses his bow more as daggers then actual bow moves. His fair/uair is pretty much the only move that would make sense with a bow. Certainly no Hawkeye.
The problem is yes there are very few characters that could fit the bill. Lyn is one of them but her focus would obviously be on swordplay. Anna would probably just be a melting pot of weapons.
We need a lord that starts as an archer or something.
T_T
and this is where you lost me
Well, DLC, or a new class for Smash 5. I'm not a fan of getting more Mii Classes as DLC, myself. Mostly because we can rarely use them. However, getting more classes in the next game would be nice, but I'd still prefer a full new character. A FE Archer that you suggested would be nice to see in the next installment.and this is where you lost me
(a 4th mii class is my absolute least wanted idea for DLC)
..
I'd like it to me called something along the lines of .....mii mageSmash could certainly benefit from someone who uses a bow more than
I'd also do bloody well to get some better spellcasters than
Black Mage for Smash.
Ashley for Smash.
Miigician for Smash 5 class.
By definition, Bandana Dee is not a darkhorse, which would be a contender no one sees coming. Everyone seems to be claiming he is the option. That is the opposite of a darkhorse.
This does not refute the points I made, it isnt really even a response to what I said other than maybe being inspired to respond. I'm, quite clearly, not a Fire Emblem fan- nothing against it, I just do not find it special. My thought is that true fans of the series, and not fanboys happy with any decision made but those with actual criticisms, would be disappointed with the fact that a series of vast possibilities is represented with characters who more or less are based around a single moveset. If Swordsmen are all the series has to offer, it is very well off in Smash. I just think it has more to bring to the table.
I dont think anyone plays 'for the Pokemon,' I think that is a gravely simplistic view. If that were the case, the main games would be outsold, or sold in equal numbers, to its spinoffs. We play to capture, train, and assemble Pokemon into a team. Of course, we are both talking about more than ourselves- so neither of us can be sure. That said, if it were merely about the Pokemon, the main games would not be the top sellers. See more on this point shortly...
You may enjoy the series, but you completely overlooked my point about what makes Pokemon special. It is NOT the general monsters, it is the gameplay mechanics. Obviously this is important to Sakurai who cares about the 'essence' of the game, and mentioned such as the reason for adding Robin. What makes Pokemon unique at all- capturing, training, battling, strategizing- it isnt a matter of some of these being overlooked, its a matter of not any of it being taken into consideration, at all, in any way- not in characters, not in items, not in stages, not in anything.
Not to be rude, but hasnt this been mentioned here numerous times?
It feels like all we talk about on this board is Fire Emblem. You'd think the series earned money for Nintendo before Awakening with how much attention it receive.
I'm not sure what points you are even making, honestly. All I see is that you agree that he is a necessary component for the roster. And of couse he is vital, like an anti-Dark Pit
