@HyperFalcon: Question, do you support Max and Ralph? I just want to make sure every character has a chance of being voted at least once.

Also, I added the other suggestions.

I support every person I suggested. Except Jago.(but I know he's popular)

Max is the ultimate Shining Force hero.(that's the third SF abbreviation here!) Ralph is the only true rival on the Zelda series. Dark Link really doesn't count as he's not so much a rival as the ultimate personal villain. That, and most rivals aren't completely evil.

There's a ton of generic Yoshis. They got in. Sure, there's one main Yoshi.

But then again, who's to say there isn't going to be a Shy Guy partner in Paper Mario 3DS? That's... not very generic since they're named, right?

See the problem with this? Likewise, yeah, I'm with Kantrip. Being Generic isn't a big problem anymore.

Considering Shy Guy is one of the few Generic Enemies you can play in in various games, I'd say that's no longer a relevant point.

He is, however, a Super Mario invention and therefore lumped into the very exclusive club of Mushroom Kingdom-goers. He is just not up to specs as far as Mario Canon goes.

If you were replying to me, Kantrip(due to, you know, me having some people on ignore), I do agree Shy Guy isn't of much relevance compared to some of the other ones. Like Koops would be a bit more important due to being notable.

Yoshi is notable in Super Mario 64, as well as the Super Mario World TV Show, Yoshi's Story, both versions of Yoshi's Island. It's true, he's part of a generic race, but he's still a secondary character. Along with Toad.

I could see one of the Paper Mario partners getting in as well. Vivian would be neat.(and my personal pick) Here's hoping for a Shy Guy partner!

Instead of having everyone on an ignore list why not just skim past each person you don't want to see?

As for the topic at hand, yes, I do not think being generic species is as big of a deal as people make it.

Mostly because I'd rather not reply to them, and I have a habit of doing so. If they're just going to cause trouble, it's better to ignore them than let them Troll.

Agreed.

HyperFalcon, the only person who says I "Cause trouble" is you. If the mods thought I did, wouldn't be banned by now? I've been doing "this" for about two years straight now? You're just HyperSenstitive and feel the need to be the mean police. Stupid boy. Let's get some shoes.

Why are we even talking about Shy Guy?

Kehehe.

We're talking about Shy Guy because a bunch of HIPPIES started holding hands and didn't want to disregard all possibilities. Everybody is special and deserves equal consideration. Really, Waluigi deserves a medal or something.

Sure, RiDEly is great, but you know that bird that flies on the magic carpet in SMB2? He's a real star.

SHY GUY is a better choice than Koopa, only because Yoshi lacks choices. Although I guess that doesn't make him a good choice. Just one of the few choices, if we even choose to choose. What is the meaning of life?

Anyways, for Yoshi, I see Baby Bowser (Yuck), Kamek (Fine), Shy Guy (COOL, but stupid), and my PERSONAL FAVORITE.... Raphael Raven.


He tute.

Yoshi should be cut since he's a generic species.

I'm sorry, Yoshi. I didn't mean it.

He probably should have been given the Mario symbol to begin with so people wouldn't suggest more Yoshi characters since "Only one character has been representing the series!" Imagine what would happen if Paper Mario got his own icon. Gross. "MS. MOWZ WAS A VERY IMPORTANT CHARACTER."

WELL, to be completely honest, when Yoshi got his own symbol, I don't think Sakurai predicted his downfall. HONESTLY if he would have had at least two or three more games after Yoshi's Island for the DS, MAYBE Kamek/other Yoshi characters would be considered? I mean, look at Mother. Although Mother definitely has storylines/characters behind it to make a second inclusion look right and make sense.

Ness and Lucas, makes sense. We have three STRONG storylines, with three groups of heroes and villains. Yoshi has a shaky storyline, with a single main character returning the whole time. Yoshi. We have Kamek/BBowser showing up... but they aren't HEROES. They aren't Lucas. They're....Giygas I guess. They don't compare to what Lucas, and Ninten ARE.

I don't even think they really can compare to what Porky and Claus are... I dunno. I think there is some legitimacy behind including Mother characters, and not Yoshi characters. They both may be little franchises...that are dead... but what Mother is, and what Yoshi is, AND what they can bring.... are two different things.

Yoshi characters < Mother characters

Your spelling sucks.:troll:
LOL

Nice one
A Pokémon discussion that has not devolved into yelling and screaming? Is that possible?

Anyways let me propose a little game to the Super Smash Bros 4 thread. Let us pretend that Sakurai is holding a poll similar to the one for Brawl, and all of us Westerners have the opportunity to participate and vote. Just as with Brawl you have one of three categories you can select to cast a vote in; characters, stages and music. If all of you had the opportunity to cast one vote what category would you select and what would your vote be? If you want to you can explain the reasoning behind why you would vote for that particular thing. Feel free to elaborate.
Toad, Saki, Ridley, K Rool (Mainly Toad)

Stage: Any sort of Super Mario Galaxy Stage like Starship Mario

Music: Final boss music in SMG 2
Exactly what games was he the main character in? I mean, besides among a few others. What games did he specifically star in? I've never seen a single game where he's more than the supporting cast.(New Super Mario Bros. Wii doesn't count, that was two generic Toads, and not the main one anyway.

Super Mario Bros. 2? If anybody sees the actual ending, Mario's pretty much the main guy, while the rest are the supporting secondary characters.

I am interested in which game(s) where Toad is the overall main character, though.
*Sigh*

Appearances don't matter HF and did you reaaaaaaaally have to reply to some toad fan voting? Roles don't matter. Toad's still important despite his roles and mostly iconic to nintendo and the mario series. Toad is still one of the MAIN stars of the Mario series.

Say all you want about roles but you can't change this truefax and I know you think he's one of the deserving ones.

The end.

I'm not sure that Yoshi and Mother are very comparable, but at least Mother has better characters. The best Yoshi has to offer is KAMEK, which is indiscernible from a Magikoopa. The rest of its characters are just baby versions of Mario characters, lol.

I want Kamek.

He has a HUGE moveset potential. She can summon goombas or burning shy guys or something

So does Shy Guy. Shy Guy has a ton of potential movesets just because of how MANY kinds of Shy Guy there are. Snifits, Fly Guys, Tribal Guys, Stilt Guys, Camoflauge Guys, Medi-Guys, Balloon Guys, Dancer Guys... The list goes on and on.

Everyone has a good moveset potential imo.

Anyone can be unique depending on what, which, how you use the chosen moves.

True. But regardless, I think Shy Guy could be more unique than Kamek because Shy Guy could have a much more diverse moveset. And Baby Mario/Luigi would have to take all of their moves from Partners In Time, making them moreso a Mario character. So, REALLY, the only viable Yoshi reps are Kamek and Shy Guy.

I can't see Yoshi getting a rep at all for SSB4. The most reasonable characters from that series to me is Kamek, yet he appeared in more Mario games than in Yoshi game while still considered a Yoshi series character

Personally, I'd like Yoshi to get a new Final Smash where he turns into an egg while Baby Mario becomes playable. Baby Mario's Final Smash would be kicking Yoshi's egg to an enemy for an one hit KO (a la the Smash Egg item in Partners in Time)... then Yoshi hatches and is playable again with Baby Mario riding on his back.

What I would like to see changed in Yoshi is this. Switch his Side B & his Up B. The Side B would be him shooting the egg, which will function similar to how it did in Yoshi's Story. And for the Up B, have him go in his egg and shoot upward just like in Yoshi's Story.

I dont know if its just me, but Yoshi is starting to become a stale character to me after Brawl. There just really hasn't been much changes to him other than his stance and his current Up B giving you that short hop.

I just unlocked Meta Knight, King Dedede, and Waddle Dee in the Arena for Kirby's Return to Dream Land. I have to say that Waddle Dee (Bandanna Dee) would be a fun character to play as in Smash Bros. if his spear moveset from Kirby's Return to Dream Land is anything to go by. I think if Kirby had to have a fourth character, that fourth character should definitely be Waddle Dee. However, I personally think Kirby's playable representation is perfect as is (along with Zelda, Star Fox, and Mother).

No, he's fine. I like his moveset. I think he needs his egg throw and egg lay specials improved. His egg throws are usually inaccurate... I'd like the eggs to go straight in the direction the X cursor is at. His tongue needs to be longer and the opponent is encased inside the egg a bit longer. Oh, and his tongue should be used as a tether recovery move like with Link's Hookshot. He also needs multiple jumps like Kirby because that's what he did in his games. Either keep his Final Smash or give him a new one where he switches to Baby Mario.

In the end, it won't matter. If a Koopa Troopa can't be playable, then Shy Guy is pretty much on that same road.

Stop trying to screw around with my Yoshi. I get the feeling that most people who suggest improvements for Yoshi don't actually play Yoshi, and they just want to make him like characters they're more comfortable with.

Or maybe I just don't want to accept that Yoshi is actually total balls when not fighting against stupid computers.

I think Yoshi is fine as is. I actually play proficiently as Yosh even when I play against other human players.

@Mario and Sonic Guy: Not exactly. Shy Guy has much more potential than Koopa. Simple as that. They aren't even on the same level.

I've actually seen someone suggest Koopa the Quick(the Koopa you race in SM64) for Sm4sh on Youtube. I thought that was so stupid. I also saw someone suggest Naruto and PETER ****ING GRIFFIN for Smash! So I said, "You've gotta be kidding." And he said, "No. I'm very serious." So I was like WTF?! Yep. Some people on Youtube are just SO STUPID!

Most people in regards to Smash Bros. are laughably dumb. That is why I shudder at the thought of Sakurai holding another public poll for Smash 4, especially considering most of the logical and well known Nintendo characters are already playable.

Also, no one has anything to say about Waddle Dee?

At least Brawl's poll resulted in a logical choice(albeit an annoying one)...

Also, I'd be fine with Waddle Dee, so long as he has his spear moveset from Returns to Dreamland.

Sakurai isn't stupid. He know what to add and what not to add. He isn't going to look at polls and say "I MUST DO THAT."

Also, no one has anything to say about Waddle Dee?
Pretty much everything you said. It be great to have him just for his spear moves.

I think Dark Matter or Whispy Woods makes the most sense as a Kirby Rep.
