Oh, I didn't see this!!
Okay so first of all I wanted to mention this, and hopefully with this quoted post it will stand out more. This issue came up with the voting and I think a new rule should be added. You should state that ONLY characters in your outline in your first post should be allowed to be voted for. Other votes should be seen as invalid. This will eliminate silly votes from people who are less experienced with P:M, or who are a bit younger, OR who simply aren't that great at character speculation lol.
Okay next, the Saki thing.. Couldn't a gun character be used as a base, and then add a sword bone to them? Or, couldn't a sword be added only to their texture, and then hit bubbles attached to where the sword is?
And Ray. I'm not sure what else to say about him. If you read the description and watch the video I posted, it's pretty self explanatory from that point.
Hes been in a couple of games, the franchise is a bit smaller, but he would be a great fit in smash bros. There are many interesting/weird characters who were added in Melee and Brawl who no one knew about/hadn't though about in AGES, so adding someone from a smaller franchise would be fantastic. And him and Saki WERE added as assist trophies, so I think Sakurai must have at least thought about putting more work into adding them as full characters at some point! Plus I think another tech based character would be great to add to the game, especially since Megaman is a no no.
They're not the same character, just a chassis onto which the guns, bombs, pods, legs, and various parts are attached. Rays I, II, and III aren't even characters, really, just the chassis that you start the majority of the games with, which can be switched at any time (provided you have other parts). It's the diver controlling them whom is the main character of the series (which varies game-to-game). Besides, robos are barely a foot in height for the models of average height. Just clearing it up out of a love for the series. The robos don't really fight outside of shooting, with three of the games having one melee weapon.
Captain Falcon is a race car driver! His moveset makes the least sense out of just about anybody in Smash. He punches a guy in one comic, and Nintendo extrapolated that into a flashy moveset in Smash 64 with a few normal attacks from Samus of all people. Ganondorf's moveset represents his abilities in game more so than Falcon's does.
Agreed. Falcon and Ganondorf are fine as-is, as much as Falcon's moveset (outside of his Final Smash) makes little sense in terms of his actual character. Ganon's been established as the kind of character that he is since Melee, and mostly the same through Brawl, and at this point he's had enough work done to where he's his own character in a way.
He uses physical force all of the time in official artwork of the series. The argument isn't that far-fetched. I mean, if you've played Ocarina, you might recall the moments in which Ganondorf destroys the platforms in his boss chamber. He's using the power of the Triforce of Power to enhance the magical and physical abilities he already had. The whole "Ganondorf using fists" argument is not valid in my opinion, in part because Ganondorf is never portrayed as the mysterious, robed wizard that Anghiham is. The dude is beefy. Always. Besides, don't you think that, coming from the desert, that Ganondorf (the man) had to pick up a few tricks?
Wait... there's a sticker of Ristar? Seriously!? O_O How could I miss that?
He isn't a sticker to my knowledge. I just double checked the complete sticker list to make sure.
Displays of Ganondorf's character? Metal as ****. Link just doesn't understand the poet within Ganon.
Don't need to. I've played through the Custom Robo series enough. Ray, or any custom robo for that matter, would just be poor character choices. No character in the game, not even Samus or Link, have enough articles available with which to clone from. Seeing as Robo's have at least three types of projectiles on any given build, it's just not viable. The behaviors of those weapons just aren't close to what any of the cast use in their own weaponry. Articles, from what I understand, are a pain to mess around with, and projectile-heavy characters, I would also understand, aren't first picks for choices to use, just because of how difficult it would be to find a character to clone them from with the right amount of projectile weaponry.

I picture Link's inner monologue and hear:
Deep down I knew it couldn't be real. But yeah, no prob.
here's something pre melee for yeah that would help support him with the sword
This hits the nail on the head. Ganondorf had something in a demonstration of an incomplete game, and that's not justification for why it's not present in the smash bros. universe. If anything, through all of my time playing the LoZ franchise, everytime I've seen Ganondorf, he's been defined as a big, scary dude who could trample an elephant. The dude's huge. There's just not enough justification for the PM:BR to turn around, change Ganondorf into a totally different character, and work out an entire new moveset for a vocal minority of those who are against his current iteration, just to replace him with a character who has even less visual representation of his would-be moveset (I'm looking at you, Black Shadow).
