Appeals to Authority usually only get you so far. There is an "ignore" feature that is handy when self-control fails. I wouldn't worry so much about the other user lest the boomerang comes back to you. Remember: takes two to tango. The mods will bring the hammer when it's needed.
Ignoring is the coward's way out to me. That's why I don't use it, however if someone gets snippy or meme happy, I'll just shut them down. Without cursing like a sailor, or blaming my place of origin for my use of language as a means of justification for my actions.
I'm not insulting anyone those were accounts of things that have actually happened however I see your point. And I apologize.
This.
Ignoring is not a "coward's way out".
Quite the opposite, Kenith. Quick draw, rapid thrusts sounds like Meta Knight, Sheik, Pit and Marth. Katana techniques aren't very distinctive because they tell me what his sword-fighting would look like, not what he'd feel like. If you're telling me he'd feel like one of those characters in terms of making using of quick, disjointed hitboxes, that doesn't sound unique at all.
Right you talk about them as if they weren't there... after you ignore them of course. You see it one way I see it another. And that's all I have to say on the matter.
I can see why, the sound it makes does leave a mark, and then there's his down grab which is just him laying the opponent down (fitting since these are moves Snake does from MGS). I guess this is a question regarding Snake, but would his grab be changed to something else?
I'm sorry, but I can't respond to any of this.
King K rool is my most wanted but he already as a trophy so I'll do one for a character that I like. NiGHTS is a Nightmaren who helps lucky visitors vanish their nightmares and guides them through blissful dreams. or something along those lines.
I was a huge Takamaru supporter when it was open, so I know a few counter arguments for him.
"A mysterious masked being. Midna was a princess in the Twilight Realm who was transformed into an imp by Zant. Midna's personality is characterized by a sharp tongue and a tendency to act on whims. Midna pairs with Link to save the world. She also possesses powerful magic skills, such as the ability to warp through space."
hoof... well, how long do we have?
"The goddess of nature, she believes it is her duty to return heaven and earth to their pure states, and so she labels humans as contaminants of nature that should be eliminated. She butts heads with human-protecting Palutena but hates soul-stealing Hades even more."
Because you don't have to be a programmer to be able to tell us what makes them a fundamentally different character.
My most wanted first/second party character already has one, so...
Because no one could do the move at all, thus, leaving it as a B-move you never use. Like Charizard's Rock smash (4 version)
Well, K. Rool is my most wanted. He has one already, but **** it, let's do a DLC style one where it talks more about his moves and such:
Well that answers the first part of the question
That is rather nicely put together and makes good use of Olivia's skills. If you haven't already I'd suggest making an Olivia thread where you can give this move set a home and have better general talk about the character.
Please.Because you don't have to be a programmer to be able to tell us what makes them a fundamentally different character.
You're ignoring my point. It's not just their hitboxes, it's what their hitboxes and everything else that makes their gameplay possible are working towards. The final result. It's the same reason the Fighting Polygon Team exists and operate differently from one another. Despite looking very similar to one another, you can immediately tell them apart from each other. That's because what they look like doesn't matter, it's their movesets that do. Hell, if Smash Bros. never existed and all we had was a fighting game with the Fighting Polygons, we would still be able to tell differences between the polygons. And I'm not talking about the subtle differences in their models, I'm talking about how the way their movesets work makes them feel different from one another. Just as how you can look at data and tell it apart, so too could you look at generic, seemingly random polygons and distinguish them. This isn't an impossible concept. You can tell me how Kirby and Bowser are different characters beyond what they look like, right?
I'm not saying it's impossible to bring something new with a katana. Again, appearance does not limit creativity. I never once said anything of the sort. What I'm asking is what Takamaru would do to feel different. It's not enough to have a distinct weapon, otherwise you're telling me that a character can be a clone of Dedede and still be undeniably unique simply because they have an axe. Their weapon of choice doesn't matter, what does is how their weapon affects the gameplay.
Dedede, a slow, heavyweight character that makes use of powerful, large-hitboxes and excellent recovery. Look, I just explained what makes Dedede unique in one sentence without needing to mention anything about his hammer or his appearance. Dedede's hammer could have actually been one really fat arm for all we know from that description without knowing what Dedede looks like, yet we still have an idea of what his gameplay would be like. Here's another: Meta Knight, a lightweight character excellent at aerial combos comprised of rapid smaller-hits to build up damage. Again, not a single mention of his weapon or his wings, nor does any other character. Using the same broad terminology, describe Takamaru the same way. If you struggle to name a concept another character doesn't already have in Smash Bros., that should say something about how Takamaru's uniqueness is only skin-deep.
"Micaiah is a magician known as the "Priestess of Dawn" and member (alongside her best friend Sothe) of the Dawn Brigade, a group that fight for the Daein's Independence against the Begnion's Occuppational Army. In Smash Bros Micaiah is a powerful glass cannon, she can use the staffs and her Thani to put the opponent in an strategical disadvantage. Use her carefully."
My most wanted (Ridley, Goroh, and K Rool) already have trophy descriptions and I don't want to make one for Isaac so I'll just do Star Man.
Eh, would rather have Meowth.You know, there is one character that has not been used that would be an interesting type
A ghost
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you...GENGAR!!!
Think about it. It's ****ing brilliant!
So the discussion comes to an end over one of the parties not even caring anymore? Ouch. I didn't write a novella for that kind of response...
This, on the other hand, does a good job trying to address what I meant. I apologize for not noticing this earlier. Given, guerrilla tactics doesn't sound immediately unique on paper, but the fact that you make it a point of what his gameplay promotes and conditions of its players--this case being to allow little room for punishment while getting in only chips of damage... A physical camper, perhaps? It's a crude way to put it, but I'll admit that the concept could be unique if properly executed.
but....shadow sneak and shadow ball....welp not unique enough, guess we'll go with Weavile's Ice typing...dammit Lucas....You know, there is one character that has not been used that would be an interesting type

Toxic, Lick, Hypnosis, Dream Eater, Sludge Bomb, Shadow Claw, Elemental Punches, Hex, Thief, Will-O-Wisp, Scary Face, Sludge Wave, and Psychic could work well on Gengar.
You're actually on to something.You know, there is one character that has not been used that would be an interesting type

King Boo!You're actually on to something.
Not Gengar specifically, because Gengar would be a random addition for Smash at this point in time, but having a spectral fighter.
A fighter whose very fighting style can be described simply as "paranormal activity". You can't tell what's going to happen or when it's going to happen, and once it does, you cannot explain it.
Kind of like how I'm struggling to put the concept that's in my head into words.
I guess in a way, think Master Core but on a much smaller scale.
Do any of King Boo, Vaati, Dark Matter, or Ashley help with that mental image of a spectral fighter?You're actually on to something.

He's a good example of someone that could implement the idea.
King Boo and Dark Matter, yes. Vaati as well, provided he's in his flying shadowy eyeball form.
He's a perfect random and wtf character combined. Your paranormal activity idea is giving me an idea on how to use him. There's gotta be something about him being so scary that's ****ed up for people to use mind games onYou're actually on to something.

I'm genuinely surprised that you shot down Ashley over Vaati.He's a good example of someone that could implement the idea.
Though it raises the issue that he's another Mario character, and we also don't need to throw in King Boo into the "Captain Toad/Daisy/Paper Mario War".
King Boo and Dark Matter, yes. Vaati as well, provided he's in his flying shadowy eyeball form.
Ashley, not so much.
I would have figured you would be in the camp to argue "darkness and wind =/= paranormal", but it reasonably makes sense if our definition of paranormal extends out towards anything eldritch.
