Somewhere... overthinking something

Well, that's two Japan only games that didn't appear in Sakurai's journal and were made into AT's. (Saki and Stafy) Sukapon, Demille, and Professor Kawashima were mentioned twice so I don't think they're all that safe. With this unveilment, it shows that, like with swordsmen, Sakurai's being very careful with his Japan only character choices. Of these three, Demille is definately the one in the most trouble because Sukapon was one of one of the most requested characters during the offical 2001 Melee poll and the star of Nintendo's first true fighter and Professor Kawashima is the "star" of one of Nintendo's best selling games in the past decade and we already have the DS icon (yeah, he's a floating head but he could easily be given a body).

Well, in other news, Claus was mentioned 4 times and, with Ness getting the boot, it's easy to say that he's safe and since Takamaru was mentioned 3 times and Sakurai has already downed three very popular katanna users, I think he's safe as well.

Still, I'm sorry that this happened.

At least Stafy took Waluigi with him!!
lol so true.

I'm no Stafy fan, I really couldn't care less about how he's appeared in the game, but yeah it's kind of sad for those supporters.

Lighten up, as PrettyGoodYear said, Waluigi went down with him.

Well, what can I say... Stafy is pretty small and limited. I had trouble imagining moves for him.

It's probably just as well. Still, Stafy is a WAAAAAAAAAY better character than Waluigi. He should've gotten some more respect than this. Oh well.

I felt the same about Stafy as I did about Mac. I supported them both as PCs, but it didn't devastate me. Getting in is better than nothing.

And Waluigi's confirmation as AT makes it all worth it.

Thanks for deconfirming all my favourite characters Sakurai!
Aww, I'm sorry! :( (I feel you on the Toad and Stafy deconfirmations, my friend.) Who else has he deconfirmed that upsets you?

Stafy sacrificed himself so as not mar the great Brawl roster. He knew what had to be done and he did it. Do not be sad for stafy and have fun playing the game. Stafy would want that. If you look into your heart you know this to be true. Let's bow our heads in a moment of silence.
Truer words were never spoken. Oh, Stafy... so altruistic, even to the bitter end--or fiery end, as it were.

Too true!

Srsly, Stafy sucks, guys.
Whaaaaaat?! Blasphemy! The Densetsu no Stafy series is tons of fun. Really, check out one of the games.

Sorry guys, Takamaru sucks and appeared in one game, and won't appear in Brawl as a PC. K thanks!

:)

See that in a update, and you'll be surprised by how many people laugh at your Brawl hopeful's failures. In fact, I'll lead the way WHEN Takamaru is deconfirmed! :p

^ See, Luke Groundwalker speaks the crap I'm talking about. Being a insensitive f***ing prick. Why the hell has he been able to make 1,000 f***ing posts posting crap like that=???

Seriously, anyone who respects Luke Groundwalker has NO RESPECT FROM ME. Ever. Seriously, why the hell is he not permantely banned yet=???

^^Obviously never played the games.

Chill, you must not get what the point of the post was.
I've played all of the games and there's hardly any potential for Stafy. He can't physically fight at all, all he does is spin to attack. That's be his only B move.

Oh he will, I can assure you of that.

Highly unlikely but if you think it makes you feel better then go ahead. I realize actual intelligence doesn't work with you due to your mental ***********. I can tell from experience, I see these type of kids everyday. They post in a specific certain way that shows a lot about their mental capacity.

Who in the hell would want respect from someone who doesn't know how to spell permanently?

Little Mac, Deoxys and Ness have all been deconfirmed too. I'm kind of expecting Jiggs, Mewtwo or G&W to join them at this point.

Laugh about Stafy not being a playable character as much as you want, trolls. This didn't bother me very much, because this is better than not adding him at all. And while the official website spelled his name as "Stafy", that is most likely the official spelling. End of alternate spelling controversy! No more Stafi, Starfy nor Starfi! It's okay to make his attack very simple, because Sakurai needs to save enough storage on the Wii disc to add more characters and stuff to it.

Ah. Just got home. Man, that really sucks, I was hopin' he'd make it.
... though I admit, I was laughing while reading the updates. Sakurai really seems to like rubbing these things in. "He's rare in that not only is he an assist trophy, he's a worthless trophy!" I'm going to be laughing and crying at the same time as I punt the poor guy off the stage, sigh.

we all remember a game called fire emblem, even though it had swords, all the main character would do is stab or slice and sometimes he'd jump and something--they did wonderful things with this so spammers stfu

I kinda had a feeling that there would be a bit of an uproar over the way SSBB treated Stafy... I mean, you could beat the poor guy up... You just don't do that to an AT... And why did they make his attack so pathetic? Did Mr. Sakurai do this just for the WTF-reaction? I don't feel strongly about this character or anything, but a lot of people will be upset about this, and I don't think they gave the guy a fair shake... That's all I'm saying...

R.M.B. were else?
stafy seems too "cute"(I guess is the right word) to be a fighter. I know this is nintendo/brawl we are talking about here, but the Assist trophy thing seems to do him well, and his case seems to be the only exception to me. He sounded like he would have made a good japan only character in the roster though.

Well, this is indeed a sad day for you Stafy supporters. I never supported him, but he is a good character to put him. Well, there goes another one (or another two since Waluigi's also out).

Although you know it's true. Anyone who's actually played the games know his actual attack is a spin. He can do that shooting star thing he does, but that's more suited as a Final Smash.
God forbid they could, y'know, make something out of nothing. I remember the lovely game called F-Zero, it was a racing game that was a launch title for the SNES. No Falcon Punches ANYWHERE in the series.

There's nothing stupid about 4chan.

You played every Stafy title and now you are saying all that Stafy does is a spin attack? Don't you remember seeing any of these moves below?

A sideways version of his spin attack called "Spin Attack Level 3", which I sometimes call it his "shooting star" move:


This move looks similar to his "shooting star" move, which I sometimes call it the "falling star" move. Unlike the "shooting star" move, the "falling star" doesn't spin. I don't know what it is exactly called, but here is it's Japanese name: りゅラせいあたっく



A move where he uses Kyorosuke called "Powerful Spin" (VIDEO on the lower-right side)


A move that makes a fairy-like creature heal Stafy (VIDEO on the upper-right side)


A move where he holds up a spinning coin. If heads, every enemy on screen is damaged. If tails, Stafy is damaged (VIDEO on the upper-left side)


And several things he wears or rides on:

From Densetsu no Stafy 1
From Densetsu no Stafy 3

AND

From Densetsu no Stafy 4 (with VIDEOS)

I suppose you're too busy fapping to the Loli to notice.
They don't have loli on 4chan.

No, look in the F-Zero manual. It has a comic strip with a Falcon Punch. Plus, Captain Falcon has limbs and a cool design ANYONE could work with.

Yes, exactly. It's all just generic spin attacks.

All of those other moves don't involve Stafy's actual physical prowess. And even if you could give Stafy a moveset, it isn't possible for him to have regular A moves since he doesn't have any limbs to work with in the first place.

Ah, I was a Little Mac fanatic, too! I have been ever since the good old days of punching away at Piston Honda. Ah, pugilism! At least Mac looks good in Brawl...

Hahah, part of me is glad just to have an official U.S. spelling! Great rebuttal on the "OMG no moves!!1!" thing, by the way. Stafy could have made a really fun character. Well, there's always next time. ;)

Now I KNOW you aren't talking about the SNES one, because all he used was a gun. The only time he used Falcon Punch was greatly exaggerated in the anime AFTER smash. And the point it, anyone can have a moveset, and you know it.
