I disagree. I think if they come out in a set order, they become more expendable. Not to mention the fact you'll have to throw them to their death so you can have a better recovery. I think the whistle pulls away from his new gameplay mechanics. To me, the Rock Pikmin make more sense a down special, since the winged Pikmin are his up special.
lol. pikmin should still stay at one rep tbh.
So that means every time you throw a pikmin and let it latch on, you're *almost* guaranteed to let it die? I understand the logic behind the rock pikmin, but the things that differentiate them from Purple Pikmin are almost completely moot in a smash context, meaning they don't really need to be in his moveset at all. OK, maybe a set order can make them more expendable (you're still cycling through 4 different other types before you get the one you want but WHATEVER) but an important part of Olimar is his ability to manage and control pikmin. And though the whistle might not be the greatest special in the world, it's basically necessary.
......no he didn't.
LOL, I'm half-joking and just generally pointing out that Sakurai is weird.
Yeah. More specifically, he actually said he never considered him and that if were playable, he'd be too slow(this is where the whole "he never said he was too big" thing is notable). A lot seem to still think he would never make him playable period, which was never really true.
This. It's not some impossible thing he considered her, but all it is really saying is "This is solely a trophy, she is not playable" without any extra stuff. It's purely as it is.
Er..."too slow" gives the connotation that he can't work.
The fact he wasn't considered to be playable for Brawl still keeps my overall point. He makes it sound entirely like he'd have to make it work by making him a slow character.
I am still waiting on my Dr. Luigi.
He's in denial? Obviously you don't know what the word means.
I'm officially concluding you're looking for a fight for some stupid reason.
I know what denial means, i have a hard time telling if people are joking or not. Besides he tried to proove meta ridley from brawl is playable size.
Actually, that in itself would be a godsend. An actual answer would be nice. All the evidence has fully led me to believe his chances of being playable or a stage hazard are pretty much equal.
That would be a good way to introduce the smashes, but it might lead to backlash like the post-direct frustration at pics that showed "nothing new" when Sakurai later reveals the smashes again. I'd guess we'll get a few more FS pics for characters with vastly different smashes before E3 as a result, even if some are still revealed by the demo.
Playable characters can only be revealed in directs.
I know it's off topic, but it always makes me laugh when someone says "pl0x." xD
That only applies if he's actually playable. Just saying.(I want him playable, and get what you mean, but what I said is true. Stage Hazards get shown in non-directs)
I don't really feel as though they help give a better idea of what the rest of the roster might look like to be honest. I just feel as though it confirms our expectations.
IDK, it's good to know that Dillon and Wonder-Red are definitely out. Sure, I didn't expect them to get in, but there was a possibility (unlike in the case of Brittany).
Its a Thursday pic. Its going to be a surefire shocker.
It's not that the Pikmin series isn't major enough for another rep, it's just that every protagonist plays extremely similar in their games.
Also, unlike Luigi(extremely similar playing), they didn't stand out nearly as much to Olimar. Also helps Luigi had differences and his own games overall even before Smash 64. Say what you will about Mario is Missing, but he's the star none the less.
Didnt seem to be a problem with Star Fox and the two Link's.
But Louie and Alph(less so now) can easily be given a unique moveset...
I'd say the Pikmin leaders aside from Alph all look pretty physically different of Olimar...(head shapes and color) Luigi was just a reskin for a while, and he stood out just fine, so I don't understand why that would be a valid argument for characters who can be told apart from each other from a top-down perspective.
I love Pikmin as a series. Have played all three to completion. I don't think the series will ever get a second representative simply because all the diversity is in the Pikmin, and Olimar has 'em all. Since they didn't butcher Olimar's play style to incorporate a second playable Pikmin rep, this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that Brittany got deconfirmed. If they had left Olimar as-is and incorporated Flying/Rock Pikmin into a second rep, I could see it then, but.. again, that's not the case.
That's developer laziness mixed with padding the rosters, plain and simple. Clearly they figured they could get away with it, and were eventually right, 'cause no-one seems adverse to Toon Link anymore, and people have been getting more vocal lately about the possibility of Wolf or Falco possibly being cut.
Like I said, any chance of us seeing a new Pikmin rep flew out the door when we saw Olimar with Flying Pikmin. Rock Pikmin are probably incorporated somewhere into his moveset now as well.
Explain to me why Winged and Rock Pikmin(potentially) being in Olimar's moveset affects Louie's or daresay, the Plasm Wraith's chances.
Well, having an Adult and Child Link, both key protagonists, isn't entirely non-logical. They rep their own style of games.
Being physically different doesn't mean playing different or standing out fully. Apples and oranges, dude. Looks don't matter, how you play does. Seriously, Luigi plays different in more than one game. He's more than just a reskin(how you start out means little in the looks department). He's also been starring in his own games in something not just called Super Mario Bros.I'd say the Pikmin leaders aside from Alph all look pretty physically different of Olimar...(head shapes and color) Luigi was just a reskin for a while, and he stood out just fine, so I don't understand why that would be a valid argument for characters who can be told apart from each other from a top-down perspective.
But no, Pikmin can't have a new character ever because Olimar represents it perfectly and it will never need another character but every other non-retro series will.
YA'LL SMASHERS NEED PLASM WRAITH
Pretty much. It didn't surprise me at all.
Wolf isn't padding. He's barely even close to being a clone. Falco was actually padding to the roster. Both of them were highly popular period, and are likely to stay anyway because of it. Neither needs cut.
Eeyup.
