Pico.....Pico....Pico.....that name sounds so familiar but I can't put my finger on it all I can remember is some 10 year old anime boy that looks like a girl for some odd reas-OH DEAR GOD!!!!!!!!
I don't think the cape design has any reason to change (why it was changed in the first place is unclear). But I would add "longer snout" onto that list, since it seems the only reason the Mii has a shorter one made for the costume is so there's not a giant protruding piece sticking off of its head.
I'm shocked that even exists.
I think you mean
That makes sense too. Though the snout on the costume already looks fine to me, I guess they could make it more crocodilian though if they wanted.
I mean at least he has a role in the game. Pico just has a trophy.
However your original statement is too is a bit of a fallacy, because not one member of the Kong family is known for using animal buddies, they're available for everyone to use. In a sense that would be like saying Luigi shouldn't use fire balls because that's a trademark of Mario's. Which really the fireflower is a trademark of the series as opposed to one character, this applies to the animal buddies as well. DK does not have any special monopoly on them.
I was referring to Rambi specifically mainly because Donkey Kong is the only character that can transform into him in DK64. I'm not saying Dixie shouldn't use Rambi, I'm saying she shouldn't use Rambi if Donkey Kong doesn't. Luigi can use fire balls, but so should Mario; it'd be awkward if Luigi could use fire balls, but not Mario. Another instance would be if Mewtwo could use Lucario's signature aura sphere, yet Lucario couldn't.
That's only in DK64 though, in other games this isn't the case as far as I understand. Otherwise I see what you're saying. Also the funny thing about Lucario is that he never had a signature move, upon release about 7 pokemon could use the aura sphere move.
I liked this post just for this paragraph.
The thing is people associate Aura Sphere with Lucario because it's the Aura Pokemon and it's the first Pokemon to use the move. We didn't see any of those other Pokemon use Aura Sphere before Lucario did.
You could say the same thing for Shadow ball regardless, it's incorrect, understandable, but incorrect. True signature moves are those that can only be learned by one pokemon (two if you want to count Smeargle, but for the sake of argument let's ignore that) upon the move's introduction in a game. Therefore the only Pokemon with a signature moves in Smash as of right now are Greninja with its Mat Block and Mewtwo with its Psystrike. Association makes sense but regardless of public opinion it is incorrect.
DKC X Metroid confirmed?:^)![]()
Remember this time last year? When Smash 3DS was about to be released, and we got news of Smash almost all the time? Good times....
Why would there be any news? Simply because it's the 1-year anniversary?
K rool n Waluigi support in Japan is strong
This is such awesome news! King K. Rool is the most popular in Japan! Or at least he has the loudest fans over there according to Push. I'm sure the Bandana Dee fans are going to be super excited about this as well.
Considering how Waluigi isn't even mentioned, doesn't seem much like it.
He is 30th. Not in the top 19, but still alright.
Oh, I must've missed lower numbers. The one I saw must've been top 20.
So if K. Rool is the top requested in Japan, or at least has the loudest support from a very large pool of fans, this makes him top of the line all over the world does it not? Makes me think if he's reaching Sonic or Megaman levels of request right now, which is super exciting.
If you look in the lower part there is the top 50. I would have missed it too if my brother didn't looked for Waluigi position.
It's funny when you think about the fact that, while BKupa is a great leader, K.Rool, his avatar and the one that he helped us to bring back to his former glory, is an horrible leader.
Great news! And Wolf, the other character I want, is in second place! I can see a higher chance of them being in the game now...
I don't think he's quite reaching THAT level, but he's definitely very high up right now. Sonic and Mega Man are massively popular. K. Rool is currently that high up for Nintendo, by far the most iconic Nintendo character not playable in the game right now (other than Toad), but he's not the star of a series, he's the main antagonist of one.
To be fair, the ballot ends on the release date of Smash 3DS in North America. We know at least that they pay some attention to release dates, so it wasn't outside the realm of possibility that we'd get information today.
Everythings going to plan
I'd say closer to Dedede or Wario level. As supported as we seem to be, I still don't think we've passed into "OMG HYPE" territory yet. That territory is populated seemingly by characters where people think they're pushing some kind of boundary by getting them in (see: "THIS IS OUR ONLY CHANCE TO VOTE FOR BANJO 'CAUSE PHIL SPENCER TWEETED ABOUT IT" or all the people trying to vote in indie characters for the same reason), or ones with loudmouth Internet psuedo-celebrities hawking them to their followers (the Krystal guy, some of Tumblr's big Daisy roleplay accounts). Aside from one or two Playtonic RTs, we've had no such luxury, but are generally liked by a lot of the community, at least. That bodes well.
And unsurprisingly, a certain black haired loli witch managed to beat him out. But then again, her support was always huge in Japan (even with the existence of the Assist Trophy).
