)Ness's series.
But Ness' series would be MOTHER, would it not? Being as Earthbound was technically only one game?
I'm curious to know why this matters in the slightest to you. What does his fate in his own game have to do with Smash? It's not like Brawl is going to be canon to Mother's timeline, nor any other franchise's.
Agreed. One character, no more. It's just not popular enough. Smash is the only time i've heard about it, so dont get your hopes up for more than 2 and especially dont get your hopes up for 5.
Fire Emblem wasn't popular at all outside of Japan in Melee, and it got 2. And plus, it's popularity has REALLY grown lately, so 3 isn't a bad number at all! I mean, some people are expecting 4 for Fire Emblem, I'd say Mother and Fire Emblem are tied in importance, so they should get the same amount of characters.
Spoiler: Ridley permenantly dies in Metroid Fusion
This is extremely wrong. Mother is one of Nintendo's most popular franchises ever, especially in Japan. It's always been like that, ever.
Yeah, I'm just saying a character dying in a game is no excuse to exclude them from Smash
That's true, I mean, Bowser and Ganon/Ganondorf have been killed a sh-tload of times, and they're easily in Smash.
Yes, but they've come back. Also, it's not like their deaths are dramatic as Claus'.
If you ask me, I think Fire Emblem really only should get 3 representatives since, while it is strong in Japan, is still relatively small worldwide. And for Mother, I think two is enough since again, it's rather small (three games with only one seeing the light of day outside of Japan). Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the Mother series, but in a realistic view, I don't see it getting many reps. Two seems most likely with only one or as many as three being a stretch, and certainly nowhere near as many as five.
Now, I wouldn't say that. Ganondorf's death in TP and TWW was pretty dramatic, or, at least, tried to be. Mother 3 was just seriously dramatic as a whole, though, part of why it's an excellent game.
No they aren't. They're always killed. Ganon was killed in ALttP, TP, and TWW. Anyone with simple knowledge would know that. Don't even dare question it, Ganon was indeed killed many times, and revived many times also in the series.
Uh, no, if you had any idea an actual experience of it, you'd know that the world wasn't destroyed. It was recreated by the dragon. You can even get some dialogue from many past characters thanking you for all your help and giving kind words towards you, showing that pretty much everyone is still alive on the new created Earth. Including Claus most likely.
Ridley was killed in Super Metroid, pretty much, hate to break it for ya. You can even find his fossil in Metroid Fusion iirc.
I thought Claus was mortally wounded AKA was about to die when he was hit by the lightning.
Well, yeah, he died at the end, but after that the dragon recreated the whole world. Most likely he wouldn't just leave Claus behind when he already revived everyone else back to their normal and happy lives.
Meh... Even though Ninten had more personality than Ness, I'd just rather Ness over him. No sense in putting someone that only has a few features in terms of different look in as such. And Ninten would just basically be the same as Ness if you used him at his full potential. And Pokey seems more boss material with his Spidermech, which I would love to see, honestly.
We aren't too stupid...we don't care
Would that mean Hinawa was resurrected?
Perhaps, it's entirely possible, really.
I'm just wondering, have you played the game? I was told that all the chimeras and anything unnatural was destroyed.
