How and why are the Inklings "not worthy" though? They're easily from the most successful new IP since Pikmin and Animal Crossing. If anything I'd say they're incredibly worthy.
Its called you make an actual good (no two versions) pokemon rpg instead of the rehashed cash grab thats on handhelds. Aka you actually try. Like make the story matter, add more depth to the game have the environments look amazing make the combat feel tense. Not the cookie cutter handheld crap.
They arent even a character they are an avatar you dress up to make look cool, seems pretty unworthy to me. Also the game just came out how about we give it some time to actually be a franchise of some significance before it gets a character in smash.
I don't think so, just because a particular character has a certain amount of votes doesn't mean they'll be included. Plus I've seen characters that are much more popular in polls then they are.
You really think Nintendo didn't think about this?
And that's the beauty of them, they're so simple they'd make a perfect smash character.
This idea probably wouldn't be that popular, but I think it'd be neat if it randomly assigned your fighters to you...unless you have amiibos of the characters you want to use. Honestly, I just want more use for amiibo in general.
...Dude...Trading is what made Pokemon get greenlit, the version exclusives are also boosting that. Console pokemon goes against why Pokemon was made
Villager, Robin, and the Mii Fighters are all customizable avatars. That doesn't make them less worthy. And it already has significance: that's the thing. They made a bigger splash (no pun intended) than any new Nintendo series in the past decade. They're significant. Why wait until the next Smash, which may not be for another seven or so years, to add them when people want them now? Strike the iron while it's hot.
No because Nintendo is to busy trying force gimmicky **** in franchises it doesnt belong in like starfox, metroid, etc...
All of those characters are garbage and hollow as a result, paste the interesting movesets on someone who is actually a character like Tom Nook in villagers case who is actually a super iconic character or scrap Robin for Isaac since he is a magic sword-wielder whose series is loved established and unrepresented. Mii Fighters niche is that they are hollow so its whatever.
Inklings have history. And stop, you obviously don't get it if you think a console pokemon can work
But once again, if the characters are fun to play as, why the hell should it matter that they're customizable? Having Inklings playable is no different than having Pikachu or Yoshi, really...Inklings are a species, just like them. Due to that they're even less of "generic avatars" than some of he avatar characters in Smash.
Star Fox Zero using something that was in Star Fox 2? Gimmick. Multiplayer co-op games that are popular lately in a Metroid spinoff to expand lore? Gimmick.
Unless you complained about Roy being in Melee, you aren't allowed to say 'too new' to Inklings
Well if I alone had a say as to who would be revealed, it'd be considered shocking to most.
Shocking reveal. Considering Konami's situation right now, Snake would be shocking
A history of 5 months and one game lol. Also you are so insanely wrong about the pokemon game, I know so many people and have read where so many people would go buy a wii u in a heartbeat for a legit pokemon rpg.
There is a Yoshi like there is a Toad. There also is a pikachu that people give a crap about Ash/Red's. Also I actually want cool, interesting, respectble, iconic Characters in smash bros. otherwise it might as well be that fighter it was gonna originally be with polygon men.
I didnt know Star Fox 2 forced you to aim a bloated ipad in various directions to aim well, also I wasnt aware that Multiplayer was what people actually loved about Metroid... You dont have to agree but my complaints about nintendo and gimmicks are completely reasonable, they have been gimmicky for two generations of consoles now.
Clone != Full newcomer.
Yes. You, someone who despises version exclusive stuff, know how Pokemon works because again, it got greenlit BECAUSE of the trading.
I just want to point out really quickly...about the "history of five months and one game," note how we got a Woolly World stage almost a year before it came out in the USA and six months before anywhere else, Roy made his first appearance in Melee, and Super Mario Maker got a stage less than a month after it came out. It's less about the time and more about the impact. And they've had a lot of impact.
First of all, Sakurai doesn't give a damn if a character's a clone or not
They are characterless by simply being an avatar that you dress up and make your own because in actuality they are nothing.
Well we aren't Sakurai so I have no idea why that matters.
When did I say they wouldnt get in? I actually have been saying the whole time that they unfortunately will get in because of how many crappy avatar characters are in the game. Anywho I dont think there is really anything left to be said on the matter that hasnt already been when it comes to Inklings...
Lol what?
I did complain about Roy, (and also that Wooly World stage) so even in that case I'd think I still have the right to say "too new".
Yeah, I think this thread gets a bit crazy, unfortunately I think that's just the nature of speculation, I'd like to say I believe everyone could be somewhat civilized and not start flamewars 24/7, but as long as everybody wants their own character in the game and views others as competition there will always be a few people seeking to knock down their competitors. I really wish we could , ya know, not do that kind of thing, but I don't think that will end anytime soon.
This implies that there even was a slot that was taken. It's not like Smash has reservations or anything, I really don't know where this line of thinking comes from. If a character you like didn't get in, they probably were never going to get in in the first place.
No there is definitely a battle.
There is no reservations yes, but there definitely is not an infinite number of slots. Even more so because this is DLC, they can only go so far.
There is an inevitable cycle with this thread, eventually we will always come back to the same character. But I will stop.
I second the idea of a hooded Robin, it's funny 'cause I was thinking about it earlier today. I think cosmetic DLC is a lovely idea, however when I asked about DLC alts earlier in the thread people said it would be unlikely and I'm inclined to agree. I'd rather them put more resources towards other game modes and the like.

Hey Id agree because I also dont think Shulk is honestly worthy either but thats neither here nor there.
