Omega, you should play mafia games with me in DGames :awesome:

Ness is an O12, no way he's going. I like Lucas, too. The Masked Man is also a really interesting character, but the series isn't popular enough to warrant 3 characters. :urg:
Exactly, since the series is already semi-dead from lacking a new game or even a remake for that matter, I really don't see how it would even warrant 2 slot, 3 is worse, I'd say cut Lucas and include Masked Man or just bring Ness by himself, Lucas in my opinion is a waste of a slot, even if he is "luigified"

Sure, I'll play Mafia with you and SSBFan someday. :bee:

The Pokémon confusion continues!

Lucas brought out his moves with his standard attacks and PK Freeze. Nearly all of his standards are original (which is something I can't say for Mario), and his style is completely different from Ness.

Honestly, Lucas is the most original clone. But I do agree-more Mother 3 moves need to be implemented. I think his PK Fire should be changed, along with maybe his PK Shield thing to something actually useful outside of doubles.
Give him the B moves he deserves then. I can not stress this enough.

Now, say Genesect beat BOTH of them. I would DK Mr. Sakurai T_T
Screw Zoro and Tini. I want some UFO HEAD.

Being "cute" or "legendary" does not hurt a characters chances. Otherwise, Jigglypuff or Mewtwo would not have been in a Smash game.

Also, the Mew-like Pokemon of the 4th gen is Manaphy, not Shaymin.

Actually, bro, most fans of Pokemon have agreed that both are the same. But I know what ur saying. I personally do not agree with the idea.

Yeah, we're talkin' about Pokemon yet again, so I'm changing the subject now.

How does everypony feel about Isaac from Golden Sun making it in?

The series warrants two spots because of it's importance. The series is the basis of Pokémon, where most of Pokémon got it's ideas, and is very popular in Japan and in certain serious Nintendo fan corners.

On top of that, the series' sales probably aren't much worse than Star Fox's, which has 3 character slots, and a lot more dull characters (honestly I dislike every character that isn't Fox or Falco).

Plus Ness is already tenured, and Lucas represents new blood, so...

Give him the B moves he deserves then. I can not stress this enough.
I agree, although I kinda like him having PK Thunder. Maybe give him PK Love.

I also think Luigi could use a better neutral B (multiple fireballs?) and an improved up B.

When Victini's 2 movies come out, we'll see what happens. Now, say Genesect beat BOTH of them. I would DK Mr. Sakurai T_T
Mr. Sakurai :laugh:

If Genesect got in over both Zoroark and Victini alot of fans would feel like they got trolled, of course it wouldn't matter because all I want is Mewtwo and Mewtwo alone.

I'd personally love it. Golden Sun is a great Nintendo series not yet represented.

I would say Isaac is the second most likely newcomer from a new series and a very deserving character.

Stunfisk is the troll, remember :)

I've been looking into Amaterasu, as well (Okami). Capcom needs the japanese god-dog that everyone loves into this craze, people!

If Issac would be in smash, that would be awesome. His son Matthew is lame though.

GIVE ME ISSAC OR GIVE ME DEATH!!! *gets shot dead*

As for Genesect, if Genesect made it over Zoroark or Victini it wouldn't be that big of a deal.

And you guys type fast!

Yeah Zelda got the "Master Sword" scene, but that was about it.

Donkey Kong got some boring jungle and a boring river.

Star Fox got furries.
I wouldn't say the Master Sword scene. Even if it was just between Mario and Link, both fighting for their loved ones was something unique.

Either way, I wish more characters played a better role. And to be fair, a lot of Donkey Kong is "jungle and river". It wasn't terrible, but at least it fit.

Yes. What about his electric abilities from M&L? Or should we stick with th Iconic green fire? Why don't we have the fireballs move in a different pattern? Or him be able to rapid shoot them, but they work like Fox's lazer? Or something. As for his up B.... make it involve the vacuum. Done.

Mewtwo barely reaches the forty mark. and poor Ridley barely has five.
Clearly they shouldn't be in. We need four Duck Hunt reps now. STAT. Facebook says so!

Captain Falcon and Olimar really should have had more of a role in Adventure Mode.

Hopefully SSB4's corrects that.

Genesect would be nice for Smash. He's the "cool" Pokemon I support.

But yeah, let's change the subject. Isaac FTW!

I agree, and to clarify, it's not that I have a problem with 2 Earthbound slots, it's just that Lucas is o' so similar to Ness, he feels like a clone which I feel is a waste, I prefer either a second rep like Masked Man who wouldn't be a Ness rip off or a Nintendo character to take the slot who is ACTUALLY more deserving.

Nvr played Golden Sun. Neways, I'm going to advertise my facebook page on Youtube. We have three f***ing members, and that's really sad.

I'm playing Golden Sun right now. I go through these phases where the game bores me, but then I have some fun with it. Strange little roller coaster of a cycle.

Lucas does not feel like a clone to me. Lucas's PK Fire hits the opponent once but it has a good knockback while Ness's PK Fire stops the opponent and hits them multiple times. The center of Lucas's PSI Magnet can actually hurt the opponent on contact but other than that, they are both the same. Lucas's PK Thunder can pass through opponents and he can hit them multiple times while Ness's PK Thunder cannot pass through opponents and he can hit them only once. Lucas's PK Freeze moves faster than Ness's PK Flash and it freezes opponents instead of blasting them away. They may have similar movesets but their playstyles are so different. I have to say... I actually enjoy playing as both Ness and Lucas... usually I prefer one character over the other like... Toon Link over Link, Link over Young Link, Wolf over Fox, Fox over Falco, Ganondorf over Captain Falcon, Pikachu over Pichu, Dr. Mario over Mario, Marth over Roy.

Again, Lucas has the least "same moves" of the character a clone is based off (unless you think Lucario is based off Mewtwo, which he clearly is not).

Dr. Mario, Luigi, Young Link, Toon Link, Ganondorf, Falco, Wolf, Pichu, and Roy are all much more like the character(s) they are based off than Lucas.

Yes. What about his electric abilities from M&L? Or should we stick with th Iconic green fire? Why don't we have the fireballs move in a different pattern? Or him be able to rapid shoot them, but they work like Fox's lazer? Or something. As for his up B.... make it involve the vacuum. Done.

Yeah I agree. Luigi needs to be changed. And make his up B involve a vacuum, but leave the "Sweet spot" feature because it's cool.

Also, eff Ridley, Toadette all the way. /sarcasm

I wouldn't say the Master Sword scene. Even if it was just between Mario and Link, both fighting for their loved ones was something unique.

Either way, I wish more characters played a better role. And to be fair, a lot of Donkey Kong is "jungle and river". It wasn't terrible, but at least it fit.
I like that Link and Mario fought for their love ones, but there wasn't enough of that "fun" and "classic" element. There needs to be more of that.

A lot of Donkey Kong is also mines, K. Rool's fortresses, mountains, snowy areas, airships, factories, bee hives (yikes!), and Renaissance-looking ships.

Also, Captain Falcon needs to be the center of the story. There, I SAID IT!!!

Oasis made me want Isaac badly now lol.

Hopefully he and Saki both get in.

@Shortie- I always thought that the Poltergeist 3000 should replace Luigi Cyclone as his new Down Special...

But I guess Up Special works too.

Issac would be nice, too bad I've never played his game so.....

:phone:
Hmmm... well, the GBA games may be hard to come by... but if you got a DS or a 3DS, you could pick up Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. I actually enjoyed it and I thought it was pretty good. I had a stage idea based on that game. I know I have mentioned it before on this thread or the old SSB4 thread.

Ah, I get what you mean. But we did have Mines as well. And Mine Carts. I some of the inspiration was there, heh.

VGCs, eh? That probably explains the logic, but read this:
http://limelight788.livejournal.com/2838.html
This'll give you most imput on why he should get it. I think this is SSBF's....
I can argue nearly all of that, especially Zoroark's popularity going down from now to SSB4, (Remember Mewtwo? Movie: 1998 - Melee: 2001) but it would be mostly pointless unless I'm arguing with Sakurai himself. All that did was just show me exactly how little Victini has over any other Base 600 Pokemon. Aside from being 5th Gen, they're completely interchangeable and all that blog did was stretch Victini's few notable traits until they were wide enough to convince some 15-year old that Victini should be in Smash 4.

I could do the exact same thing with Oshawott or even Stunfisk.


"He deserves to be in Smash 4 & let me tell you why~"

Ugh. Thanks for reminding me why I used to troll this thread. "Here's my idea for a game that only exists in a Japanese game design's head and I'm going to post it here instead of Emailing it to the man himself! =D" I love it.

Okay, I will admit, their playstyle aren't exactly the same but are similar nonetheless even with different properties, I prefer Lucas get a revamped moveset, one that is completely different from Ness's.

There is a rumor that the man who runs Serebii.net sent Nintendo a letter pre-Brawl on why Mewtwo should be excluded from the next game. I agree with you on the futulity of trying to argu some points. Unless I am debating with the developers I don't really care if random user 104 disagrees with me. The only opinions that matter are Sakurai and his team.

I don't care who gets in.... Matthew or Isaac, Isa or Saki... they both have the same abilities in their respective games. Hell, they look pretty the same... they just have different clothes. For all we know, they could just put in Matthew in SSB4 but his default costume is Isaac's costume just to appease the whiny Isaac fanboys or vice versa. It is like fighting over who gets in: Ness or Ninten. I just want a Golden Sun protagonist and a Sin & Punishment protagonist to be playable in SSB4.
