OK I know it might sound like a crazy comment but hear me out.
Now I'm talking about the importance for all characters from any franchise. People have describe importance by the following factors. Games in there past, fanbase, and signifagance to nintendo. I think I clearly know what Sakurai was saying when he says popularity of a character doesn't intrest him. You know characters have to have a game they can star/costar in to make a fanbase. Just about any game can have characters in them to have a fanbase. So what makes brawl any different? Brawl may be a game that a lot of people are waiting for and a game that might be played for a long number of years but the main thing is that it's just a game. A game that consist of characters and fighting. The characters in these games have a fanbase, some may be bigger than others but there's still a fanbase for everyone.
When sakurai said "nintendo all stars" notice that he never gave a description of what he thought an all star was yet people assumed they knew what he was saying when he said all star. That's one reason why there are character wars today. Sakurai can put just about any character in for just about any reason. why? cause he can. You know smash bros isn't just a game where characters just show off there importance but a game where it can give popularity to characters and essentially making them more of an all star. Then many of you will say "what about goomba or a koopa" well all I have to say is as long as sakurai can make them a uniqe and cool character it really just doesn't matter
Now let's look at the games these characters have in the past. There are many characters that came from a lot of different franchises and uniqe games. With these games came different roles. Hero/sidekick/bad guy/damsel in distress/supporter/helper etc. From these games comes fans of these different characters which give them a fanbase. Any character just needs one game to get fans remember that. More games are made for characters some being made for brand new characters and ones made to continue playing with the old characters. Now smashbros seems to be another game made to include characters in a fighting enviroment. Smashbros melee consisted of really old characters that came from nintendo's past, current characters that are well known around that time, brand new characters that didn't even have a game before smashbros came out.
The point is smash bros brawl is going to be another game made for any type of character. Doesn't really matter what kind of history a character has had in the past. This game could be good for the characters future in nintendo itself Cause eventually more games will come out and pretty soon brawl will be in nintendos past. It'll probably be a long time before that happens but it's gonna happen.
Next is fanbase. A characters fanbase really doesn't matter when it comes to a character being in brawl cause if the character was in brawl I'm sure their fanbase would increase. Plus there are fans of just about any character you can think of and there many people who don't like some characters. Also there are new gamers everyday, which means they will be fans of some characters while playing games. Pretty much all I have to say on this topic
Now for the signifagance topic. Some games are more popular than others and they sell more than others. Then there are the games that weren't as popular as other but still good amonst the nintendo gaming community. Everyone thinks that since these characters were in these popular games they derserve a spot in brawl most. Brawl seems to be proving that it's going to be a best seller before it even comes out regardless of what characters are in there. Most people outside these forums don't really care who gets in. They want to see the creativity and improvements in brawl. They're waiting to see what smash bros is capable of doing when it's on the wii. Characters seems to be only a fraction of the games importance but many here on nsider thinks that if certain characters don't get in nobody will buy the game.
Remember that the creativity of brawl also means how creative sakurai and his team can get with the use of characters. I'm talking about any character, just look at the trailers. You have characters that can fly, You have characters that can transform, and with the additions of brawl attacks they can tap into the deepest amount of power a character has. Brawl is gonna be a great game but it doesn't have to give out VIP passes to ones that have been in more games or ones that you think are more important than others.
Just think for a minute. You are a fan of one series but does that me everyone is. We have multiple countries chalk full of people with many different favorite franchises. Just because some people tried to suggest there character for brawl to sakurai himself doesn't mean that others won't want some different characters in brawl. Well that's completely all I have to say.
I'm always up for a debate so if want to go at it then it's fine by me. Just know spam or flame please
this is one of my threads from another forum too
