Come to think of it, Giygas could be in his physical form from MOTHER 1. The game would finally have some representation.

Ness' only real PK attack is PK Rockin'...all the rest belong to Paula...

...I think he uses PK Flash in Melee though and that is his...

No it's not a major franchise but it's not a minor franchise either like Mother, Animal Crossing, Pikmin or Custom Robo. It's not quite as popular as series such as Legend of Zelda, Mario or Pokemon but it's defiantly second shelf along with Donkey Kong, Metroid and F-Zero.

So do the number of games determine if it's popular or not? Cause Animal Crossing had 3 games and look how high up it is. Look at Pikmin, 2.

I feel that MOTHER deserves at least 2 characters total, and I'd rather not see Ness take up that valuable slot when he's a clone of Lucas. I want Sakurai to use an entirely unique MOTHER character for that spot (Poo,Kumatora,Jeff or the Maskedman).

Number of games, fanbase and sales. Starfox has few games, large fanbase and great sales. Mother has few games, a loyal but average sized fanbase and average sales. Animal Crossing and Pikmin are same as Starfox.

Wow i really didn't expect Lucas. I really hope that Ness is still in, though. I love Ness. Ike and Lucas are both worrisome as to whether or not they will replace their preceding representatives.

I dont think Mother needs any more reps than Lucas.

Thank god Sakurai doesnt pay attention to the fan base of the west >.>. Really, all of you (well actully the majority of you people) people's opinions and ideas are crap. There is a difference on opinions/views and actual facts. Yet, I doubt anyone will realizr this :laugh:

However, Claus for a Mother villain would be fine by me.

In 3 games, Mother is one of the best franchises...

...Not very many people can appreciate it's unusual style though...

...a pity...

In 3 games it's a small and minor franchise. Star Tropics was much better.
It had what? 2 games? I was under the impression that Star Tropics was even smaller than the Mother Franchise. "better" that's so subjective, why don't you name 3 games that even come close to how unique the Mother series is..

Don't throw around words like "better" when it's subjective.

I know Startropics was smaller. Never said it wasn't. I also never said that it deserved a playable character in Brawl. But it's roughly the same size (one game smaller) so if Mother is a "big" franchise than so is StarTropics.

And allright but keep in mind the word unique is subjective.
1. Pokemon Red/Blue
2. Fire Emblem (NES)
3. The Sims

Of course, however at the time of NES era, when almost all of RPG's were centered around Dragon's, magic and sword fighting Mid evil based, MOTHER was quite game breaking during that era for taking a modern twist on things. (It even could be argued with the release of Earthbound outside of Japan).
