Hmm... I think he would a very interesting addition to Smash Bros, none of the less.
Honestly if we got another Earthbound series character Porky wouldn't even be my preferred pick. I'd much rather get Duster.
Honestly I don't ever see Earthbound getting more than Ness and Lucas. Maybe I could see Ninten as an echo but nothing else. I think new Earthbound content is only going to be stages and music. It's well represented when it comes to characters and items.
I remember before Lucas was confirmed for Brawl, people wanted his father Flint in. Or both. And Claus of course, who is another extremely solid choice.
I remember people specifically asking for "Masked Man" so they didn't spoil the twist.
I don't think he's particularly likely as a fighter... but dang, his reappearance as a boss with Giygas as a second phase would've been slick.
Ive been thinking for a while now that the Smash team should be allowed to use a custom version of the Zelda cast similar to the first Hyrule Warriors. That way there's no discrepancies about which items and moves are allowed for them to use (such as BotW Link not having a Hookshot) leading to a more hollistic overall design. While still giving alts based off the recent game so Champion Link, Echo Zelda, Weebondorf etc. They already do this for characters like Shiek, Roy and Ridley.Would you rather the Zelda cast be updated to new games like TotK when applicable, or do you prefer Ultimate's approach where different characters take different designs from different games?
My most wanted Mother character. His missing boss/spirit was the actual bane of my sanity. I think his Earthbound Mech would work best as a fighter as opposed to the bed mech from 3.
Kraid would be a very strange addition in general since the character wasn't really designed to be moving around. Kraid being a kaiju that you have to platform around is also more a part of his identity than it was for Ridley, who was more about being a brutal and cunning leader who was also a hecking dragon. I also don't think he'd be all that interesting a character since he's pretty much just a mindless beast, which is technically a unique trait for a Smash character, but it's not a very deep one.
And speaking of MODOK, if we're going for an unconventional boss character, I'd rather they turn Mother Brain into a Smash version of MODOK. Put her in a mobile capsule with cannons and rinka launchers and let her fire her one beam move from Zero Mission. Then use the bipedal form from Super as the Final Smash.
I thought the reason whenever he got brought up was because of Fake Kraid, the one that is pretty much small Kraid and is more appropriate-sized. Like most of those who I see bring up Kraid often bring up the smaller Fake Kraid.
Yeah, but no one is ever arguing for Fake Kraid or Mini Kraid. They always want the big boy himself, Kraid.
I do like the design, but I can't earnestly support it unless it actually appears in a game. We've never seen this thing in action. It's only this shot.Andross is the only one that I feel could potentially happen and that somewhat depends on future games. I mean, he did get a model in Star Fox Zero that is somewhat more realisable compared to his basic head and hands look.
Andross is probably not anywhere close to playable status in Smash Bros., especially with Krystal being the biggest Star Fox frontrunner in terms of fan demand, but I wouldn't say he's impossible.
That makes sense. If you're gonna go out there, go out there. I wouldn't do Mother Brain though. Once the joke of "lol floating brain in a jar in a mech" wears off, you're stuck with...well a floating brain in a jar that can't even emote. I'd prefer something with a personality that would have an appeal beyond the strangeness of the pick itself.
I wouldn't say it's hypocritical as the characters are defined by different things. As said before, Ridley's defined by being a cruel and cunning leader who happens to also be a space dragon, and his fights generally play around with his firepower, Xenomorph tail, and his mobility like his flight. His size is not a core aspect to him, and he's not needed to be gargantuan to convey it. Kraid is defined by his kaiju-like size, Super, ZM, Dread, and even Prime before he was cut, all have him as a huge beast that you have to figure out how to get around his size so you can topple him. It's not something that fluctuates and changes according to the fight, it's a core identity to the character that has defined him and has been entirely consistent since Super revamped the character.
Technically, Metroid 1 Kraid is basically the same size as Metroid 1 Ridley. Which is barely any taller than Samus.
My personal roster for a next Smash. DLC not yet included. Thoughts ?
Yoshi and Wario here for convenience and no newcomers on their part, can't justify them
Note: wanted to cut Dr.Mario, but couldn't as am keeping similar characters on the roster.
Ganondorf and Zelda both getting reworked to fit their roles in TotK for Ganondorf, and Zelda a mix of TotK and Echoes of Wisdom. Link is slightly reworked too.
I'd love to include Pichu but I cannot am afraid
Note: Lucina and Chrom return with a new moveset that's still based on Marth sort of, but are now Echoes of each other
Standalone series:
3rd party terain
how about two ridleys in a long coat pretending to be kraid?
I think there’s too many characters and too many changes. Four Street Fighter characters is too many, as well as three Metal Gear characters. Actually just too many third parties in general.
I think wanting all those franchises to get multiple new characters each is excessive. 1 Fighter + 1 Echo for any given franchise is probably the limit.
Ass-backwards.
24ish newcomers is not at all realistic, but it is fun, and you have some interesting picks.
I don't think this is an issue since they're similar enough to share animations in the source material. My issue would more be the fact that she doesn't use her own class, or you'd have to use some sort of gimmick to make her use her own class, which makes her her own character or the pair of them are two characters in a trenchcoat or something like that, which makes her as an Echo Fighter pointless.
My response is no more ****ing FE characters.
Which do you think would work better for an Engage gimmick for Alear's moveset? Retooling Veterans that would otherwise be cut (Lucina, Roy, Corrin) or an entirely new set of Emblem Rings to switch between? (Sigurd, Lyn, Celica)
I mean new Rings that haven't been characters before probably works better because there's always that chance that those veterans come back like Roy did in 4 lol
my unpopular opinion regarding FE is that I'd cut the roster to
( alt) and add Lyn so regarding Alear I'd go with all new Emblem Rings (Sigurd, Celica, etc.)
People who like Ike are not going to pick the toothpaste vtuber. It's a lose lose situation. Your favorite FE character gets cut and the only way to play is by picking the dumbest looking character in the roster. Meanwhile Alear is denied a unique moveset to be a bargain bin of cut veterans.
i'd suggest retooling byleth and then worry about everyone else
Overall, I liked the roster, and here are things that I like and what I wished was on there:
.
Similarly, I think Alear using a character as popular as Lyn as an assist would be kind of insulting to the people who have advocated for her for the last 15 years.
