Exactly why I can see him doing the Dedede Nair. Put that bulk to use. And besides that fair slashing, I can't really see him doing much more that Bowser does. I mean, you'd be really stretching it to make him a Bowser Clone in the first place.
You don't think many will vote for Waluigi, Toad, or Daisy? When I was younger my vote for sure would have went to Toad
You raise a good point about the situation being different due to DLC, however the Ballot hasn't made any promises either. All that has been said is that "If you post a video-game character’s name, we’ll consider turning that character into a Smash fighter!" in the English site, which makes no promise to actually add a character, let alone as DLC for Smash Wii U/3DS.
...Okay I knew all of this already.
Oh, I'm sure some will. And they'll be denied as well. I see no chance of any of those three being added, especially as DLC.
Yeah many people think the DLC is gonna be like the top 5 most voted characters which I highly doubt will happen.
Then who, a bunch nobodies? Perhaps Doraemon will make an appearance... because why not.
Waluigi- probably not (sadly)
Captain Toad is a thing. However this is going off topic, shouldn't general DLC discussion be held in the general DLC discussion thread?
No. But I wouldn't be surprised if they save a character like Inkling for the next Smash. (since Smash is somewhat of a tribute to the last gen console). And also Nintendo will want characters that are easier for them to create (clones and semiclones probably) and characters they also like (Shrek
Of course, I wasn't implying that the Ballot made any promises to add characters. But isn't even the consideration thing new? Or did the old polls have similar statements? Interesting observation about that quote missing from the Japanese site, btw.
Any evidence of this?
He means so in the sense that it SHOULD happen. If it doesn't, well, we shouldn't be expecting one til next week.
Sakurai using the word "fan-service" shouldn't probably be taken to heart.
Sure Waluigi's an AT, but I think Toad and Daisy both have a reasonable shot.
You mean Captain Toad, right? Because regular Toad is still Peach's meatshield.
fix'd.
Yeaaaaahhhhh....but Captain Toad's main hook is that he cannot jump.
Yeaaaaaaaaaahhhhh..... but Villager's main hook is paying off a mortgage/being a mayor, not fighting.
The other thing to consider is whether DLC counts as double-dipping with the main roster. We got an additional Pokemon and FE character with Mewtwo and Roy, so unless that gets spun as "they're veterans so they get a free pass" or "only DLC double-dipping is an abomination," they've already done overlap for the sake of appeasing fans.
Yeah, that could definitely happen, since a lot of standards get reused between characters (multiple characters having uppercut or downward kick U-Tilts, belly flops or dual sword slashes N-Airs, kicks for B-Airs, etc.). It's only because K. Rool is heavy that some perceive this as clone-y...you never get complaints that any mid- or lightweight characters would be "just like Mario" or "just like Fox."
T-Rex arms? Have you seen his rare design, K. Rools arms are huge!
Honestly, you look at half the cast and you can basically 'relate' their moveset to someone else. I feel there are very few unique moves, at least standard attacks wise.
Note how I didn't mention Dr. Mario alongside Dark Pit and Lucina for Smash 4.
Give us the stage with the DK Rap Sakurai!
Kongo Jungle from Melee? It was one of my favorites, so I would get it. Better yet, give the full version of the DK Rap in Smash 4. Lanky's and Chunky's segments are completely missing in this game!
I gotta say, Sakurai apparently never played DKC, since none of the stages are actually from the series....but I do really like the look the Melee stages, and Kinda wish we could go there in the DKC games.
Yeah Kongo Jungle I couldn't remember the stage name off the top of my head
Yeah, it's a bit of both. K. Rool gets the same sort of comparison to a superficially similar character as those examples you listed, but also the "just another fat slow heavy bottom tier" complaint that, from an outsider's view, would make you think the roster is just overflowing with "fat slow heavy bottom tier" characters.
One new stage as DLC isn't really enough precedent to tell, but I really hope so. It's not "overlapping" with anything for DK to have a new stage as DLC, or to have a new stage on the 3DS at all.
No, Sakurai is only biased to his preferences when it doesn't benefit us.
The names are from the series, at least. Jungle Japes is named after the first world of DK64, and Cranky's cabin is based on his cabin from DKC. Kongo Jungle is also the first world of DK64, even though both the Melee stages are based on a river setting, and there's no river levels in DKC (there are river levels in DKC3 though, but those aren't set on DK Isle).
On a random note.....I would absolutely LOVEE a fully 3D DK game using the world from the first 3 DKC games. I mean like taking the map screen and fully creating that into a sandbox like world!
EDIT: It seems like someone has began working on something like this:

Also this is on the GBA
Remember to "yeah" and comment on each of these so they get pushed to the popular tab
I would like to see a fully 3D designed DK Isle, maybe even Crocodile Isle. I think Retro could pull it off well and I really hope they are working on something like that.
I just thought of something! I know it won't be spot on, but if anyone is interested, we could start a server and try recreating the DKC worlds in a game like Minecraft. Something that can bring the community together!
