If Claus was announced would it be safe to say that Ness is pretty much out of the equation of returning to the brawl roster or do you think they would actually have 3 MOTHER reps?

I think if Claus was announced and not Ness than I don't think Ness is coiming back why? Cuz there's no way MOTHER will get 3 reps when franchises like Metroid,Donkey Kong, and Starfox(just to name a few) are sitting with only 1 or 2 characters. What do you think?

It still should be discussed in the Lucas OR Ness thread

Ok nice suggestion but why would I want to go to the Ness,Lucas and Claus thread just to post the same post on each of em when I could just start this threads and get opinions about this subject specifically right here? Not tryin to be an @$$ but if you don't want to post your opinion here then you don't havta post on this thread.

Ok well then if I pick the Claus thread to post this on then I wouldn't be able to get anybody from the Ness threads opinions, I didn't see anything wrong with starting this thread.

why on earth do people believe characters are leaving? Has it happened before? No it hasn't

I think the only one that might leave is pichu :( (he may not have been unique but he was cute)

If Claus WERE announced. You fail for not using the subjunctive tense.

I suppose this thread is fine here, if it had been posted in the Claus/Ness thread it would only be mild discussion about the subject... we do see a lot of pointless topics guys, but we don't have to go out and massively massacre a bunch of threads.

I kind of agree with what you say, but I don't believe Claus or a second Mother rep will be announced anytime soon... I'm waiting til the game is released for them.

Sigh.

I love how these people who have never played EB dont even see the differinces between Ness and Lucas.
So they basicly just say "Hm? Better Earthbound character? Sure! Go ahead! We like the new anyways! *boots Ness*".

Oh and..

Claus dies. Big comeback there.

Thats really the only thing holding Claus back.

And plus, he isnt even a villan. :|

Pokey has more of a chance than Claus.

Possible...but I am gonna point to Marth and Roy being to FE reps in Melee, then DK and Kirby having one rep each...

Ness will be in over Claus, but both could make the cut.

You fail for not knowing WERE is for plurals.

On topic, Claus is second in line after Lucas, if he makes it I guess I don't care if Ness returns.
Nope. You don't know what the subjunctive tense is, do you? The operative word in the phrase in question is "if," which indicates subjunctive tense. It's the same case as "if I were president..." or "if I were able to fly..." It's not correct to say "if I was president...", etc. or--in this case--"if Claus was announced."

So, since you mistakenly tried to correct my already-correct grammar, does that mean that you FAIL EPICALLY (or "EPIC FAIL")?! :chuckle:

On topic, Claus needs to be announced! He's the one character that I'm really hoping is on the playable roster.

It can be interpreted in both ways, if you care to give grammar and language lectures I suggest you go to a school when flattering over stupid **** like grammar and semantics is well received, it's a stupid argument anyway.

So are Gannondorf and Ridley... ¬¬

EDIT: And, as a Mother fan, I kind of agree with you, however, that does go both ways... but I do believe Ness is a sketchy issue right now.

Yes, it can be interpreted both ways: one is wrong, and the other (using subjunctive tense) is right. :chuckle: Proper English never makes for a "stupid" argument. At this point, it's just more fun to get a rise out of you.

My real point of contention with this thread, however, comes from the fact that there is already a Claus thread, not to mention numerous other threads about how MOTHER3 characters will or will not affect Ness's chance of returning in Brawl. Everyone else had mentioned that, however, so I felt that my argument against this thread should encompass something...original. Mission: complete!

This topic is above average... it's not as if you have to purge the forums of all "unworthy" threads. It's not spam, provided a different enough discussion that would've died out quickly in other threads, etc. No need to be so anal about it.

Ah, but that IS my job! Didn't you hear? I was officially appointed to purge SWF of any and all extraneous topics. ;)

Like I said, I've seen topics like this before, and it could even work well enough as a tangential aside in the Claus discussion thread. I'm not saying it's the worst thread on the boards (believe me, it's not!), but I do think that it could have been resurrected from one of the other topics about M3 characters v. Ness. :ohwell:

Fair enough. I just think this is different enough because it ask hypothethically, what people believe WOULD be the case IF Claus got a PROFILE. Not about Claus being in Brawl as a secret, or any other Mother characters joining up... if Claus got a profile on the Dojo.

But if you're supposed to purge SWF of those threads let me tell you, you're doing a lousy job. :p

Hm...I guess I'm just focusing too much on the similarities. I can't deny that what you say has some validity, so I guess we'll just call it a wash.

And I suppose that my inability to do so just speaks to the sheer volume of inane threads that rear their ugly heads on SWF, then, huh? :lick:

i don't necessarily think so. i guess my opinion is a little biased because i'm a big fan of the mother series, but i think that even though a series like donkey kong is much more popular and well known, it lacks plausible characters. lucas, claus and ness are all character with possibly unique movesets and a lot of fan support. while donkey kong characters don't have quite the same chance ...you don't see too much support for ...funky kong.

mario has like 4 or 5 reps. zelda has 4 or 5 reps. pokemon has 5+ reps. the mother series deserves way more than just 2 reps!! I'm curious as to how many people have actually played Mother/earthbound!!!
