Forget about Genesect if Nintendo doesn't officially reveal it. Arceus never had any references in Brawl, since Nintendo didn't officially reveal it until 2009.
I know that much, life pretty much takes you by storm, wines you and end back here on SWF.
Well knowing Sakurai, it's really hard to say whether or not a character is even likely to return, like Jiggs for example, even though she was previously in Melee and SSB64, she was pretty much on the cutting board for getting axed, if anything can be said it's that Sakurai can instantly change his opinion about any character.
Okay as far as the character roster goes I really don't expect to see over 55+ characters including transformations, if you read Sakurai's article he mentioned he possibly doesn't simply want to extend the game that Brawl expanded on, he mentioned that the roster might not go over 50 characters as well as stages, plus IMO having too many characters would possibly make Sora to screw the balancing, for that reason I believe that Sakurai might not expand on the roster as he did with Brawl, I'm expecting at least 48/49 characters to be included with tranformations.
I really would like to see Bowser Jr. as a character, and I agree, he has definetly been playing recent major roles in the Mario series, his chances are real likely this time around even more than Paper Mario's, as far as Shadow Mario goes, he doesn't have to be a seperate character, if anything, he could be a transformation for Bowser Jr., it would definetly work wonders on him.
Sure he may be a retro character, but the problem with Pac-Man is that he's a 3rd character, but I do agree he would at least make a good WTF! character like Snake, but his chances are really doubtful next to Megaman if Sakurai decides not to expand on 3rd party guests.
I believe if would ONLY be considered given that Namco shows interest in Smash, the reason he was in Mario Kart was because of collaboration of his rights between Nintendo and Namco, I can only see Pac-Man happening if we hear any news concerning Namco's involvement, Sakurai isn't going to go far as to request Namco for his inclusion.
Agreed, seeing his revival on the Wii, plus his AT inclusion in Brawl I don't see why he shouldn't be in the roster, he is definetly popular with both modern and retro gamers alike, Punch-Out is a hit that's isn't likely to die anytime soon.Plus he beat up Mike Tyson; it doesn't get ANY sweeter than that! He's got the moves, the punches (maybe a below the belt punch will be his Final Smash!), and he's been revived in Brawl-and in a new Punch-Out! game (which rocked!). Don't be shocked if we see him.
That doesn't make sense!
Basically. My idea is that when you go online for the first time, you have to "fill out a form" for your ID. Here would be an example of mine:
Well if that were to be the case, as far as cute characters go I'd say Slime from Dragon Quest fits the role perfectly, as far as "serious" looking charaters goes, I'd say Megaman with his Network attire would work for him, personally though I prefer his original look and I hope that if Megaman does get in it will be the original, although X wouldn't be so bad I guess.
I can't even process what I say, because I am too busy arguing with myself (mostly it's over which tastes better between plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and paper cups. I need to rank them, and then make a tier list).
Why wouldn't you say we need more tripping? Tripping is like air to Sakurai-if you don't have it, you die, possibly by barrel explosion. Why not have confetti pop out of your character when you trip? Why not have super trips, where your character trips 1.5 times longer but trips three times the distance? Why not have trips that make you roll into your opponent? Literally, the tripping possibilities are endless! (almost as endless as to why Luigi's Final Smash is.... Luigi's Final Smash... and why it exists, and how it exists!)
Looks like we are all getting johned by johnknight's long posts, and that's no John!
Everyone is a John. Including the original John. However, there is only ONE Johnknight.... until there's a Johnknight2! (which better not happen!)Looks like we are all getting johned by johnknight long posts, and that's no John!
I think Mega Man will definitely have his classic attire. The last Mega Man Battle Network game came out like 5 years ago, and isn't really that popular. It would probably be a stretch to make it even an alternate outfit, considering how few there are so far. However, X should definitely be an alternate outfit, but mostly what everyone wants is the classic Mega Man (an 8 bit version would also be epic!).
Punch-Out is not popular in Japan. Punch-Out Wii bombed in Japan, and Super Punch-Out was not released there until 1998.
Not if I beat you to it!!I think once SSB Wii U and DS get their own section, I'ma gonna make a "tripping needs to be expanded" thread!
Also, I would say we need more tripping for humor... although a "off" button would be appreciated!
Little Mac as a starter, Takamaru as an unlockable... (Little Mac still has that old game smell to me)
All of these are legitmate questions and I'd love to see other people's opinons on them. Right now I'm just fiddling around with the idea until there's more input and that's part of the reason why I'm starting this now so, if this does turn into something big, the community will have something decent mapped out by October.
Well when I get my name changed soon I'll just have to do that!
Yea, Ive always wanted everybody to have at least an alternate version of themself, like classic Wario got in Brawl, and Dr. Mario being Mario's alt costume, not as a seperate character.
Back in Melee Sakurai mentioned something though like Sukapon might not be considered (I found an official source to this in translated Melee interviews in Erathbound Central)'
Completely subjective.
Maybe in Brawl, but Young Link and Link in Melee were the exact same people from the exact same game.
Of course she is.
It never was fully explained.
It is kind of hard to tell, but I'm sure we're not getting Medusa unless she's a 3rd rep.
You could say the same thing about Zelda.
As long as Ridley's in and he doesn't suck, Sakurai's cat could get in as a playable character and I wouldn't give a ****.
Pokemon, Fire Emblem and Mother don't count in my formula because they don't have recurring protagonists and characters for the most part. So instead of following the formula, they just add the more important and iconic protagonists. Or whatever. But when it comes to games that do have recurring protagonists, my theory is very accurate and would explain why ZSS got in before Ridley.
Villains are always the third rep. K.Rool has a fantastic chance of making it in.
I don't think a series, any series, will have TWO villain slots.
So is Toon Link.
Meh, I don't think it would be that hard. I'm definitely sure Sakurai could make it work. He never really provided an excuse as to why he wasn't in Brawl anyway.I really got to add that I like Ridley's chances of being a wild card character. In Brawl, a ton of people (myself included) thought his chances were very high. However, I don't think Sakurai wanted to risk having a flying-based character. Meta-Knight, Charizard, and Pit all fly, sure, but none of them would be nearly as airborne-based as Ridley. He could potentially break the game. Think about it. Sakurai could give him air shields (which sounds funny to say out loud! AIR SHIELD POWER ACTIVATE!
I won't say he's a few steps away from a shoe in like I did with his speculation in Brawl. But I will say he is being considered, they might try to make him, and the developers need to make extremely carefully if they do. Plus c'mon! He's a purple friggen dragon! He could be like the anti-Barney!
PFF I got into Metroid games because of Ridley.
Yes, I'd rather see K.Rool playable instead of having a Diddy/Dixie thing, DK needs to have an antagonist plus Smash could always use another antagonist.
Agreed, the same can be said for the FE series, we don't need another protagonist lord, if anything it should be an antagonist such as the Black Knight or maybe perhaps a new one if we were to get a new FE which at this point I'm having doubts.
NONONONONO plz this is so wrong....Garchomp have 0 chances over Zororark and the game isn't SSBPOKEMON....guys plz be more reasonable.Garchomp, the Mach Pokemon
Abilities:
While SandStorm is being used Garchomp’s ability is Sand Veil. This boosts evasion in a sandstorm, which makes him slightly faster, and has a slightly larger gap when he uses a forward/backward dodge. You know “Dodge Dancing”. If Sand Storm isn’t in play he keeps the ability Rough Skin, which inflicts a 1% damage on your opponent when they attack you. (I realize this would need to be adjusted for different moves, I understand that)Garchomp can also glide like Charizard.
Special Attacks:
Basic Special - Sand Storm (After use if becomes sand tomb) This move makes a four bowser radius covered in sand. When an opponent steps into the radius they are slowed down. A sand storm is blowing across the whole screen. Once you use this, the sand storm area lasts for a full minute, and cannot be moved until time is up and it fades. Once the Sand Storm is placed your Basic B move becomes Sand Tomb and Sand Attack. It is sand tomb when you are in the Sand Storm. This move grabs the opponent, sucks them into a sand twister and spits them into the air. Sand Attack is used when the Sand Storm is placed, and you are outside the Sand Storm area. It works just like Flood does, minus the charging aspect.
Sand Storm can be used to slow down your opponent because they are truging though sand, which will keep you at an advantage in the battle.
Sand Tomb can be used to KO a high percentage opponent, or get a low percentage opponent ready for a combo or some juggling.
Side Special - Dragon Rush/Dragon Claw This attack combo will vary depending on the amount of times you click the B button. One click will push Garchomp into a forward dragon rush. Two clicks will do that, and he will end it with a dragon claw. Three clicks will top that with a second dragon claw. If you hold BOver You will use a charageable Crunch attack. Crunch similar to a smash attack, except when it is fully charged, you do a double bite.
Up Special - Dragon Rage Red flames engulf Garchomp while he soars directly up into the sky. He leaves behind a pillar of flame that has static damage.
Down Special – Dig Garchomp dives into the ground, here he is able to stay unharmed. Only his fin is visable in this state. From here he can use three attacks:
Grab Button: Garchomp pushes his hands through the soil and grabs this opponent, he then jumps straight up into the air, and does a dive bomb into the ground holding the opponent.
Special Button (Chargable): You dive straight into the air, the height depends on how long you hold down the button.
Attack Button (Chargable): You dive forward and slide on the ground, tripping opponents.
Final Smash: Draco Meteor Garchomp's body glows orange and a orange ball of light appears inside its chest. The glow fades and a ball of orange energy appears in front of Garchomp's mouth. Garchomp fires the ball into the air and it explodes, releasing many orbs at the opponent.
Nope.
Trust me I believe Black knight had a major demand for SSBB in sakurai poll.
I'm going to ask the MODs later on if I could make an offical thread for it so it doesn't get buried under the responses in this thread. Like I said earlier, I think it would be something that most people in the Smash community could get behind if a decent number of people sat down and hammered out the details.
I just kind of doubt we'd get an online service so robust.
Yeah, a poll of several years ago. Wait until a new FE comes out with completely new characters and a new villain. Then that villain will score high on another poll and so on and so forth. Not seeing it, really.
I never said it wasn't going to happen, I only implied that it might not happen, of course there's a chance for all 3 to make it in, it all depends whether Sakurai thinks about K.Rool inclusion, hopefully he does get in.
There might be an exception to that rule, if a character is highly demanded in this case the Black Knight, his chances are definetly improved, I don't why he wouldn't be in if Sakurai got overwhelmed by requests.
I figure if Ridley got in, K.Rool would too.
Ridley is a ****ton more important than ZSS and probably has/had a lot more popularity and fan support, and ZSS still got in before he did.
Dude, I think if anybody has a stick shoved up their *** here it's you.
Thank you. I finally figured out how to block him so I don't have to be spammed with 40 PM's every freaking day.
Does anyone else see a 2012 "suprise" at E3? Or, are these three games just not coming out at all? Thoughts?
A clone? really?? Are you insane?!
It ****ing sucks, that's what I think.
The latest released RPG that I enjoyed was Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Maybe Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance if that counts as a RPG (though that is more of SRPG).
We all know that Nintendo will put characters from those games in Smash 4 in order to see if there is interest to bring those games over here (Worked for FE). That way they get even more of our money!
