My favorite fighting game rep:Going back to MK,
regarding fighting game reps in general...
The only 4 characters I can think of that they could do other than Scorpion are
Sol Badguy
Chun-Li
Jin Kazama
and lastly
I love Killer Instinct. It’s easily my favorite fighting game franchise. I would be hyped getting literally any character from those games.Going back to MK,

I'm personally a fan of Firstly and Secondly myself.
Idk, Firstly doesnt have the same kick as Lastly
Who's that?
I've been trying to figure out why I dislike the "hype culture" surrounding potential Smash Bros. characters so much and this article finally helped me realize why that is.

I think this is an unfortunate consequence of people hearing “Sakurai can make a cool set for anyone” for the past few years and for good reason: There are but a few characters that couldn’t go the distance and have a gamebreaking moveset. Even if the characters in their own game don’t have the sparkliest moveset potential as we’ve seen with R.O.B and even moveset potential megaton K. Rool got the new belly mechanic that wasn’t directly present in his home game. And so, moveset speculation turns into a black box where everything can happen once it gets cooking in Sakurai’s brain. Thus, the functional part of a character leaves little differentiation; if Steve, Piranha Plant and Min Min all have great movesets, it’s the name that remains.
Looks like Fulgore from the Killer Instinct series.
Shoot, forgot about thatNo Soulcalibur?
insert joke about Ayumi in Smash here
I thought it was a joke too at first, but I've actually seen people here use it in arguments. I remember specifically seeing the phrase "We all know that Banjo only got in due to Steve shenanigans anyways" when arguing against Banjo in the context of talking about what Microsoft character would be on the xbox version of smash if it was a thing among a few other places. If it really was just a joke, then it has gotten to the point where enough people have used it in a serious context where I felt the need to ask what the source is.
This is how the Battletoads can still win!Great argument, dude.
After all,
PMEX (the brawl mod I talk about a lot) has a really odd selection of Fighting Game reps. You have the three in canon Smash, Sub-Zero (who's a bit odd to have instead of Scorpion but still pretty OK), and Nu-13 from BlazBlue (who I didn't even know existed until she was added). It's not bad, I kinda like the mod's unusual choices (it's hardly limited to Fighting Game Characters), but it has to be mentioned.Going back to MK,

Fulgore, one of the more famous Killer Instinct characters. Most notably the KI SNES boxart:
, but with a teleport and ROB's laser and as such can also play a zoning game. In KI 2013 he doesn't have the standard super meter, rather he has a Reactor Meter (ten maximum pips) that fills whenever he attacks and slows down whether not attacking; and using the energy based special attacks depletes one pip. His super mode is the aformentioned overclocking, where the Reactor Meter goes ****ing berserk and starts to overcharge. The Reactor Meter can also be Fulgore's prime weakness since he needs some of it filled in order to stop offensive blockstrings - that and Fulgore is inherently kinda bad at resource management since the beams form part of his pressure game.
Any notable highlights? These discussions can get pretty long...
Great points made. Once you're one of the boys/girls, your character's own shine is absorbed into the shine of the entire roster. Anybody added does become another gear in the machine. With such a large scope, it can get kinda homogeneous. Ultimate's success still comes with its trade offs.
Are you referring to water as a stage element or water as an attack element like F.L.U.D.D, Squirtle, or Greninja? For stages, it would be cool if we had a little more actions we could take while swimming like diving underwater of a basic attack. That might be too much work though.
Interesting. And yes, I was talking about the stage element.
I mostly just want them to bring back gliding. I thought that mechanic was a lot of fun and made certain characters feel more unique.
I’ve wanted an underwater stage for a long time. I made a partially underwater stage in Stage Builder based on the first stage of DKC3. Having wind blow upwards from the bottom of the stage simulates water pretty well.
Well, I would certainly like them to fix how their characters swim in the water. I understand you aren't really supposed to focus on them swimming since you can't stay in the water for long, so you try to jump out of the water quickly, but good lord. When you use the Spirits that allow your character to stay in the water indefinitely, most of the swimming animations are incredibly awful with how they try to stay afloat.
Squirtle and Greninja become the most powerful god-tier characters in the game.
There's no point in revamping it unless we get more water stages to use new mechanics. There's only a handful at the moment, and in half of them you either aren't supposed to swim in them (Jungle Japes, Summit) or only sometimes have the option (Delfino, Wuhu).
R.O.B. dies
The year is 20WX. Everyone plays Tidus at TAS levels of perfection (while imitating his laugh at the end of every match). The peasants live in poverty while the Tidus mains - in their monasteries - have played so much levitating Blitzball that they solved Smash via Blitzball. Because of this, the winner of a match depends solely on who can do the most literal wavedashes in just one second. The lone heroes desperately trying to prevent the oncoming Tidus apocalypse play Squirtle and Greninja.
Melee fans: Yeah, we dislike the later games because they're too slow.
They would, but no gills.
That explains why Melee fans are afraid of water.Melee fans: Yeah, we dislike the later games because they're too slow.
Underwater stages: I'm about to do what's called a pro gamer move.
