If Paper Mario would be a new character, he would've been included from the very beginning. He would've been uniqueand made from scratch and would go through the same development cycle as any other new character. Therefor technically the time spend for him is time that could've been spend on a different newcomer. The only reason why Paper Mario wouldn't be considered from the beginning would be him being a last minute clone, in which case I wouldn't mind him.
You did say Chrom.
Oh whoops, I meant to say Shulk. My bad.
But the same could be said about Mega Man, Little Mac, and everybody else.
I think you missed the start of this discussion. It was about why I'd be disappointed if they spend time on another form of Mario while they could make a character from a under represented franchise. That can't be said about MM or Mac.
Link and Toon link and very different in terms of shape and size, but they are still semi-clones. I'm not saying it is guaranteed, but this doesn't stop Paper Mario being a semi-clone of Mario.
They have different build, but they still have arms and legs and fight using their arms, legs, and a sword. Making Pikachu a clone of Link wouldn't be easy at all. Same with Mario and Paper Mario. In terms of how the move and fight they are very different characters.
To quote the dojo:
That isn't Paper Mario. It's a cell-shaded Mario with Paper Mario shoes and eyes. It's impressive for a hack, but a company would not release that or anything like it officially.
On the topic of Paper Mario being a clone, I found another hack where it replaced Mario Mario with Paper Mario and I think it is plausible that Paper Mario could be a clone
To quote the dojo:
"He doesn't use kicks! Well, I guess his legs are a little too short... All he can do with his legs is throw people judo-style."
It is possible to make changes to clones to fit their body type.
I for one hated the idea that Dr Mario was in Melee, it was pointlessly stupid. Not to mention we already established we don't want clones so another Lucina wouldn't be helpful. Still, a stage confirmation isn't a valid reason as well.
Real talk. I would much prefer Paper Mario than any of those characters.
Except the Sheik is more of a concept regardless of whether or not he was featured in TP. Just because they are split doesn't mean they are separate people.
Which Mario game have you played where Mario doesn't use an item to use fireballs? They're the same Mario. It's the same universe but with a Paper theme. If it was a whole new universe that would mean Bowser had captured Peach for the first time in PM 64.
Bowser and Yoshi are both now more similar to how they appear in recent Mario games, and ZSS already had heels in Other M.
Heels? Yes.
Aw, come here buddy *reaches out for a hug* It'll be alright, Sakurai isn't THAT evil.
Actually, I wouldn't mind 4 Captain Falcons as long as the other 3 were Blood Falcon, Black Shadow and Phoenix from F-Zero GX. ¦D
I always thought your avatar was something from Paper Mario 1. Probably quotation marks.Or even better, give him this:
my mind has been blown.Or even better, give him this:
I use it because I actually found that glitch.
I feel like we are about to be graced with: an alternate costume and/or palette swap!
