Curious what character that is?
That's like saying Link in his Magic armor, wearing the hawkeye, using a butterfly net and Mirror shield doesn't qualify.
That is not an apt analogy considering how there has been different playable incarnations of Link even within Smash Bros. (Link, Young Link, Toon Link), and how there is even different versions of the same characters (Dr. Mario and Mario, Samus and Zero Suit Samus).
actually, yes. you are right. the pokemon trainer. except not like brawl, but as his own character.
I've yet to play any Castlevania game (not my kind of game), but from what I've Simon does look like a pretty cool character - but that's pretty much it for me. I wouldn't necessarily oppose him, but I'd much prefer any other third party (a Nintendo character would be even better).
Just to respond to it, though - Sakurai is catering to the masses (as he should for a game of Smash's scope), and the masses mostly haven't heard of Geno (as tons of them started gaming well after Mario RPG first appeared) - not to mention, there's much better surprise characters to be picked, even among Nintendo's own property.
Both of those characters have the same abilities. Whereas Claus as the innocent boy (how he appears in Brawl) definitely does not have the same abilities as Masked Man who has bat wings and other cyborg implementations.
Maybe Edgeworth..?
The problem with Master Hand is that in Smash Bros. the game operates on ring outs, and Master Hand is not really a character that can be "ringed out". He is always floating and is pretty much a typical boss.
heh, naw, I just want an edgeworth alt for marth, that's all.
In case you can't see very well, I replied within your quote in bold italic!I don't really know why you bring up Sakurai - this is Project M we're talking about, not Smash 4, remember?
Ya sorry I get carried away sometimes, I'm on more than one forum so ya... And I went to Sakurai cause we already know Geno can't be in P:M

I don't know if he's catering to the masses. He doesn't always... He always picks random characters no one wants/thinks to want. PLUS he has said he won't be listening to the fans this time around (such is my understanding).
When it boils down to it, Geno has only been important in a single game - one that has been mentioned only once after it's release (with him appearing in that mini-game in Mario & Luigi). I could change a few words around to make something comparable:
Also I would argue that other than Mario himself, Kersti was THE most important part of Paper Mario Sticker Star. She was the mysterious character specifically opposing the antagonist (Bowser) and guiding Mario along the way.
Of course, it's more complicated than this, but it's a simple example; Geno's absolutely not important enough to take the fifth Mario spot as well as one of the limited third party slots.
ROB has been in 0 important games. Pit and Ice Climbers pretty much only one or two important games and became irrelevant until being re introduced in smash. I think Geno could EASILY get similar benefits from being added. Even the likes of you might gain some respect for him if you get to play as him. He's a very minor character, but at the same time he is this really mysterious, interesting character that I feel could use some more spotlight. Its not the characters fault he hasn't been seen since SMRPG. He could be given his own RPG and it could turn out awesome! We don't know. I also had no idea he showed up in any other game after SMRPG.. that even increases my hope more lol. I do see why you would hate him BECAUSE of the annoying fan boys, but I think if you give it a chance you could become a bit more open to him.
Game and watch, R.O.B., and now WFT represent the systems they come from. snes/nes, gameandwatch/gba, wii/wiiu. I see where sakurai went with this and if you look at it that way the choices aren't random at all. yeah sorry if I continued this somewhat, but i'd thought i'd let you know.In case you can't see very well, I replied within your quote in bold italic!
Anyway, this is off topic too, so we don't need to go on and on. I see what you're saying, hopefully I've given you something to ponder
If not its all gravy.
Masked Man and Claus have different abilities, sure, but this has nothing to do with whether or not he is "allowed" in Project M.
Ridley was a boss in brawl, and floated
That's because he's flapping his wings.... he's not levitating
Again the example of Samus and Zero Suit Samus. Same person, but each with profoundly different abilities and aesthetics.
...is silly and invalid.
They're the same character.
That the Masked Man technically does not appear in Brawl?
But Bruce Wayne is Batman. Masked Man is Claus. I don't know how to make this clearer. They are the same person.
I know they are the same person. But since one appears and the other doesn't the character technically may not qualify.
But it doesn't matter. The characters are the same. Masked Man is just Claus with a helmet. Claus in a different costume. By this logic, armored Mewtwo should be disallowed as an alt costume because he doesn't appear in the game.
