Do you legitematly dislike the characters
or
dislike certain things that people you have come across that support those characters have said.
Both kind of. I just don't see Ridley and King K Rool as "blending in". Maybe they will. There's more to it than that, but I think some fans take their feelings too far. I think they are way too controversial to be "definite" as I've heard a lot of fans say. I'll point out to them that they still have competition and logistics involved, and ect, and they call me out like I'm ignorant and stupid. As long as someone accepts the fact that they are not "positively getting in" I'm fine that someone.

The fans that DO say I'm stupid, I'd say need to think beyond their dreams. That makes me kind of want their Ridley-in-shining-armor not make it. Not only so I kind of proved my point, but also because I'm glad those people would be sad.

This next paragraph is just an example of how Nancy Grace believed something that she thought was certain, and she was mad when it didn't go as she expected it. If you are uninterested, don't read it.
I hate Nancy Grace. During George Zimmermin's trial, she was so certain he would be found guilty. She would tell everyone from a rooftop how bad this guy was, and how he deserves to be punished. She said stuff like "I heard this one guy say he thought he'd be innocent. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT!!! OF COURSE HE'S GUILTY AND HE'LL BE FOUND THAT WAY!!! Why do we even need a trial...?" She ranted and ranted, and I got kind of mad. She wasn't seeing a rational standpoint. SHE was being ignorant. Not me. So when the trial happened, and he was found Not Guilty, I was kind of happy. Not only because of the trial and how George isn't going to live his life in prison, but because I won something over Nancy. I saw reason and she didn't.

Anyway, that is kind of how I feel about the Ridley/King K/Mewtwo fan base. The ignorant ones, I should add. I'll be happy for you if they make it. You have the decency not to insult everyone with a different belief.

I want all 3 of them in i can live and be happy with 2 easily.

I know only one will make it though Mewtwo.

I never considered K.Rool or Ridley as shoe-ins.

* The 3 Characters are all 10+ years old
* Extremely popular and come from extremely popular franchises (they are true allstars)
* Smash Needs more Villians & Heavyweights than it does Females
* All 3 Characters could have a really unique moveset and fill a role that missing in the roster

And theres probly a few other things i missed but they are the main points.

People dont support the BiG 3 for no reason and they are far from bandwagon characters.

They are brought up everywhere and people that dont support feel like they are shoved down there throats and treated wrongly if they dont support em or go against em.

Yes some people are like that and although i am a supporter i am not that person but i will apologise on whoevers behalf for you for those people that treated you or the chars you support like crap......

Like i said many times RealTalk there is gonna be butthurt search youtube vids and check a few wish/prediction list they are alot of characters that are supported just as much globaly/on other sites.

Im not biased to these boards characters like

Shadow
Krystal
Shrek
Powerpuff Girls
Paper Mario
Bowser J.r
Toad
Lyyod Irving
Proffeser Layton


I for one dont think any of these chars will make it and very few of them are deserving imo And then theres ofc the BiG 3.

Plus how the newcomers have been selected so far plus the Gematsu leaks things are looking bad for The BiG3.

So just sit back put on your sunglasses and Relax try to remember why you like smash bros in the first place be hyped for your new re-vamped vets in HD with a online mode that doesnt suck as hard as Weepingbell.


All this Char specualtion im telling will kill all the hypw you had for this game you spend like the whole build up (2 years) specualting and heavily emotionaly invested in the newcomers and if it dont pay of your gonna be butthurt and you wont enjoy the game when you have it and thats the most important thing.

Characters believe it or not are not the be all end all of this game....balance and gameplay are imo thats why i sold brawl 4 months after release and i still has my Melee.

I care more that my Smash default main Bowser is finally where he should be and hopefully wont get molested by space animal anymore for the past 10+ years (or atleast not as hard)


That alone with HD grapichs better online and im damn sure a re-vamped Ganondorf (he cant get worse than brawl)

Mewtwo returning (which i am as sure as Palutena)
Plus he will be revamped

Hopefully Samus and DK not sucking or as much as they did in Brawl and im fricking happy!

And newcomer wise i got screwed over the hardest but i hardly complain about it...brawl didnt add no one for me except cut my Mewtwo and nerferd my lovely Samus and made DK crap.

And Sm4sh so far hasent added anyone i give a damn about but respect and like some chars added to what fame/and what they bring to the game

Mac
Megaman

''Characters are not gonna decide if your gonna play this game for years its the balance, Gameplay & Online''

ALL HAIL LORD RIDLEY MWUHAHAFGC!!

Yeah, bandwagoning ruins it for people who legitimately care. Same thing with, outside of character support, but stuff like loving Majora's Mask. It's turned into a "hipster bandwagon" where people who have legitimately loved the game since forever, and had to deal with people telling them it sucked in the early 2000's are not being told they're idiots for being on a bandwagon of people who like it now. I am always resentful when things I like turn me into a target because of new people liking it.

And not because "Oh, I liked it first", I don't care. It's because I -did- like it, and people act like I didn't and that I'm part of some hivemind because it was the cool thing to do.

This also goes for a lot of characters. There are characters that are popular, or in the Gematsu rumor or people think are "shoe ins" that I always wanted. But I will get lumped in with people that didn't care from the start.

I want more villains, primarily because I feel like series should have their protagonists & antagonists. It allows for fun battle scenarios, and Event Matches. And it just feels good to have the "gang all here" when possible.

Is it annoying when people shove things in your face? Yeah, but they're generally doing it because they're passionate about it. It's usually unintentional.

Very Popular=/=Shoe-ins.

Popularity alone wont get you into Smash Bros.

Sakurai said that himself.

I wonder how some Palutena & Chrom supporters feel.

Palutena because of Developer Bias
&
Chrom because all FE Chars that get in are blue haired Swordsman and are Lords also because ''MEH PatTeRnsz'' of Marth & New FE Rep.
Roy out Ike in Etc: (-_-)

Even though Roy was planned for Brawl.

The worse is the Slot theory that no series can/is allowed to have more reps than mario....when LoZ & PKMN did anyway in brawl....people who dont count PKMN Trainers pokemon as individual characters or Sheik because she was tied to Zelda....(-_-)

Like Sheik, Squirtle & Ivysaur didnt take time to develop to put into the game....lmAo....Sakurai even said Brawl had 39 Characters NOT 35!!!

He didnt take time, effort to develop Zelda and Charizard in brawl left em how they are and over night the game itself magicly made Sheik, Ivysaur & Squirtle and that 8 Pokemon Chars were planned for Brawl but we only got 7 (still more than mario) and people saying now Pokemon cant have 6 Reps in Sm4sh? When it had 7 in brawl thats there excuse to why Mewtwo wont return....(-_-)

I knew Ike Would Return i was damn sure we would get 3 FE chars in Sm4sh and i think R.O.B & Snake will return too.

I don't feel like the Mewtwo fans are even in the same class as the K.Rool or Ridley fans. Most Mewtwo fans I know are very hopeful, but our character was included in Smash once, and cut from Smash once. Mewtwo is also still at the forefront of Pokemon movies and advertising. That is a LOT more than I could say for the other two. We also tend to not be as fanatical, since we already know the pain of having our favorite character cut from the game. We know that Mewtwo is as expendable as the rest of the cast. And you know? If Mewtwo doesn't make it back in, it's not the end of the world for me. I'll be kinda sad, but I do enjoy other characters.

There's also the visual factor. Mewtwo is rather sleek and pleasant to look at, with a unique color scheme. Non-Meta Ridley has his bones showing, and is truly nightmarish to look at. K.Rool, as much as I like him, is kinda fat and disgusting. I don't hate Ridley or K.Rool, I just don't think they fit in well with the rest of the cast. Will I be upset if they make it in? No. The more, the merrier. However, I think both have challenges, as far as fitting into Smash goes.

Imagine though, if all three are shown off at once. The Villains Invade the battlefield.

Is it wrong that I'm hoping for Ivysaur?
Seems like such a waste of a good moveset to have him cut. I mean, its not like he was a clone character like Roy, Dr. Mario or Pichu.
But damn, having too many first gen reps would be weird. Then again, it was/is the most popular gen. Like, most of Megaman's moves are based off of his most popular game, Megaman 2.
But, Ivysaur was never even a popular pokemon from first gen. He's the middle child of Bulbasaur and Venasaur who nobody pays attention to.

Speaking of potentially wasted movesets, cutting Snake would be nuts. Definitely the most unique moveset in smash history.

So, I will finally be able to watch e3 one hour after it ends and watch the invitationnal live. That's better than waiting one day.

GET HYPE :colorful: :colorful: :colorful: :colorful: :colorful:
I am not as fortunate, apparently I will be in class during the day and miss the Digital Event; after that, I will be in class during the night and miss the Invitational.

When does the Digital Event end? I could probably catch up on that before heading to night class.

The characters had to deal with Meta Knight for 6 years. What's another day to them.

Here's what you got to do, see? Pull the pages up in the morning, leave, and when you get back, pretend like it's live.

I could always do that, or I could just not go to my classes. As of current, I feel responsible. I am planning on going to class, but let us be perfectly honest, closer to e3... I am not going to feel that way.

At this point I'm confident we will see at least 3 reveals.

At least one third party of the following (I don't think we will get all of them, one more might be revealed right before the game comes out):
Layton, Pacman, or Snake (These are the only three I think that have a chance at this point)

At least one of the big four (maybe two, or maybe all):
Ridley, Palutena, Mewtwo or King K Rool

At least one RPG character or Retro character
RPG: Isaac, Shulk, Fire Emblem Character (One of these is for sure to happen)
Retro: Duck Hunt Dog, Mach Rider, Excitebiker, Takumaru (Only retros with a good chance at this point)

For vets other than Snake and Mewtwo I think:
Falco, Ness, and Falcon I think will show up, as they have a shot at being starters


Thoughts?

This seems like a reasonable thought. I would expect at least 2 newcomers, and maybe 4 veterans, but a 3rd newcomer is always possible...

Not sure if you're directing this at me, or agreeing or what, because I didn't say popular=shoe-ins. I'm in agreement with you. Although I didn't think Ike was back UNTIL Toon Link was revealed, and moreso when Lucario was.

The only time you lost me was at "7 pokemon". We had Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Lucario, Charizard, Squirtle & Ivysaur.

Anyway, I love the idea of 6 Pokemon solely because it replicates the size of a team.

My theory, back when Greninja was revealed, was that it could easily emulate the part progression of a team in Pokemon X/Y.

Pick Froakie, catch Pikachu, pick Charmander, Korrina's Lucario joins you, catch Jigglypuff in the Pokemon Village, then catch Mewtwo in the cave.

I also support the idea of a Grass Type to keep the cycle left by Pokemon Trainer.

But I won't be that surprised if it doesn't work out how I expect.

At this point I'm confident we will see at least 3 reveals.

At least one third party of the following (I don't think we will get all of them, one more might be revealed right before the game comes out):

Thoughts?
I like to think that at least 3 reveals is certain. I would HOPE that we get AT LEAST 5, to match the Direct.

I foresee mostly veterans, but at least 1-2 newcomers seems pretty obvious.

I'd be surprised otherwise.

However, I would simultaneously expect it, because I expected different results from the Direct.

I'm think it will be like the direct. 4 veterans and 1 newcomer. I could see 3 and 2 though.

Oh, and I think we'll see lots of stages too. With more bosses.

I decided to use one of my favorite smash gif that appeared during 2006 right after Super Smash Bros Brawl got announced at E3 2006. I would like to give a prop and credit to whoever made this GIF. I never knew who did since someone posted it in other forum long time ago and I saved that gif ever since.

Enjoy your day! :)

So? Luigi has always been an unlockable and chances are he still will be. What makes him different from Marth.
I think the fact that Luigi had his own year may have something to do with this. Though I will say that Luigi should still be unlockable, since that has always been the trend for the Super Smash Bros. series.

I hope that theres a mode where you can make your own character skins.If you play online with randoms they could be only viewable for you, but friends can see them online tho. The skins could be transferred from 3DS to Wii U and vice a versa.

They're my two most wanted characters. That said, I doubt Ridley's in and K. Rool could really go either way in my eyes. Also, I'm not really going to have a major breakdown if one or both of them are deconfirmed; not every character can make the cut.
