True enough, Claus would be awesome in Brawl, and a ton of potential for Lucas and Claus in Subspace Emissary. That would be an Epic addition. Alongside with Ness, it would be unstoppable (yeah, I threw my little "Ness-has-some-hope-in-Brawl line in there").
I could see some possible meanings from this quote, but I would like to hear vesperview expound on it. How so?
You talk as if he died... he's just back at Onett playing baseball.Well, I rather liked Ness, even though he was never somebody I used extensively in smash... it is a little bit sad to see his chances of being in Brawl be crushed to molecular amounts, especially since he's been with us for the past two games... however, this was pretty much fated to happen from the very beginning anyway, considering Sakurai confessed that Lucas was going to be in melee over Ness.
I'm thankfully the kind of person who accepts this new change and is willing to move on. Lucas feels nice and familiar to any Ness fan with his similar weapon preferences and appearance, but he's also his own character entirely, with a more in-depth story to him and even a few speaking roles along the way. I'm not saying Ness is a block of wood though, it's just he has more in common with old, silent RPG heroes while Lucas is more like the newer guys... especially with his tearjerking story, most RPGs like emotional stuff now.
I will miss poor Ness dearly, but I think Lucas is a fine evolution of him and I'll be more than happy to main this nice new kid. Besides, I can always play melee again and preserve his memory forever. It's funny how most people have forgotten about that, really!
If Ness DOES come back though, I would be a very happy person indeed.... I just have NO idea how they would pull that off though, since Lucas just seems like improvements all around, except for his completely different physical moveset. (Which seems better in a few little cases anyway)
Two characters from Mother 3 and one from Mother 2? I don't think it makes sense.
Well, if they really tried they could pull the "Bring the legendary hero back from the past" crap, but I think it would work out alright if the story was written just right.
Cause he would really be in the way, the Mother 3 plot and characters wouldn't mix too well with Ness, you would have to play Mother 3 (In case you haven't) to really understand it, unless he returns and someone like Paula or Poo also make it, it could work, but that's never happening.
Yeah, I can see that now, and I've only read a translation of what happens in Mother 3 so I have a very basic understanding of the story within it. I think Ness could fit in the Subspace Emissary with characters otherwise he wouldn't fit with. Fox and Diddy? That seems bogus to me but it works out in the end. But looking at it from the games, it really doesn't make sense, I'll agree.
Heh, pardon me for being a little poetic about the removal of a character I happened to like! You are right though, nobody should really treat being withdrawn from a fighting game as a "death". I suppose he is just now happily sitting at home eating steak, or mach pizza if he's feeling fancy. And maybe whacking a Starman or two. I'm sure he might get a trophy anyway, I dunno.
I thought he did that on purpose, actually....
Lucas is a handicapped child... which obviously turns around to state that he is immensely gifted. Seriously, after I heard detailed reports of what constitutes dyslexia and ADD, I wanted both. In the right context, these conditions make you into a genius. I heard over 50% of the computer geeks at MIT have ADHD.
Ah that explains it. As soon as Mother 3 ends up on the Wii shop here I will download it. Can't wait.
I have something else that has the same effect as ADD but also makes me hard to deal with others socially...
Wait, does that mean it lets you focus on one task at a time or that it only lets you focus on that one thing in the world that you enjoy? Because the latter seems to be the case for me.
And what is that one thing in the world you enjoy?
Smash. And having Ness in Smash Bros Brawl.
Lol @ people for jumping to conclusions.
*Nods head*
LOL @ people who LOL @ 99% of the rest of the community who have sense to accept the truth
Ness is out. Sakurai told me that Sakarai is a liar.
ROFL @ TEH OWN
I agree that Ness' chances are lowered, but it hasn't been 100% confirmed.
It's in the Show Me Your News podcast.
Ah yes, the classic "there is no reason" argument... Seriously, that argument holds no weight.
Why? To set yourselves up for inevitable disappointment?
OK, Mr. Know-It-All. You tell me what the "up until now" is referring to.
