I'm serving up a whole lotta hurtNone of you are ready for Master Kohga to kill you all.....to death.
This has unironically got me wanting Marina as a newcomer! Only problem is, I don’t know enough about Splatoon as a whole to come up with a moveset that does her Justice. With that said, I do have a rough idea of Marina’s specials based on some of the research I’ve done for her:Honestly if I had full control over who gets in as the next Splatoon character, I'd add Marina. Out of the idols I think she adds the most.
- She's an Octoling who's also a super popular, named character instead of a species.
- The Brella as a weapon type is completely different from the Splattershot in appearance and use, being an umbrella that's also a shield that's also a shotgun, pretty much.
- The associated Brella sub weapons like the Sprinkler and Curling Bomb are also super different from what Inkling uses, while the Triple Inkstrike is an easy Final Smash pull.
- Her addition would finally give Smash an undisputably black character who isn't a pallet swap.
- Given Inkling's heavy emphasis on Splatoon 1, Marina would give 2 and to a lesser extent 3 more spotlight.
- She's funny and I like her.
The one elephant in the room would be the lack of her stubby gremlin gf, but...honestly if any series were to double dip on characters next time, I can easily see it being Splatoon.
Remember, Nintendo thought it was okay to localize Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland for Europeans despite the demand to have it NOT released in America. There's a reason TV Tropes has a page that's called "Americans Hate Tingle", not "The West Hates Tingle".European
Fair enough, though it is worth noting that later Tingle titles/apps ended up Japan only. Whether that's because Rupeeland's European sales weren't strong enough or because they simply wanted to focus on the Japanese audience it's hard to say. It could be that while Japan may have loved Tingle and Americans hated him, and Europe's market just liked him and possibly not to the degree where later releases with the character were considered worth localizing.Remember, Nintendo thought it was okay to localize Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland for Europeans despite the demand to have it NOT released in America.

I was imagining that if we used one Idol, the other could be used as an assist character. Not quite a full duo character, more like a drop-in ally. Heck, Pearl gets to turn into a little drone and fly around in the DLC, right? They could easily use that to work her into Marina's kitHonestly if I had full control over who gets in as the next Splatoon character, I'd add Marina. Out of the idols I think she adds the most.

I do. Pirates are cool....Do people still want Tetra?
i'd like to have her but I'm not people...Do people still want Tetra?
She'd be cool....Do people still want Tetra?
I posted about tetra earlier in the thread. I think she'd be a good character to represent the toon games without having another link....Do people still want Tetra?
Personally, I'm still willing to advocate for a Cruis'n stage. I don't even mind if it's basically just 'Big Blue, with normal luxury cars that can't fly'.What new stages might people want to see (that don't necessarily have to be related to a particular character)?
To me, at least, even if I don't think there's a good Dark Souls character that'd work/be a good choice for Smash for one reason or another, It'd be cool to see Anor Londo (at least its dark souls 1 version) as a stage. Additional stages I'd think would be neat would be a Monster Hunter stage (especially if they keep a boss Rathalos around) and a Tetris stage.
I'd also think a proper Bowser's Castle stage is long overdue, though I don't think that's exactly an unpopular opinion.
Goddamn. How many characters did they add in this patch?
you and me both
LOL! Sounds like something Cranky Kong would say.If we add an old wrinkly person to Smash. I want someone who can whack people with their cane. Sorry, no exceptions. Let me whack those no good younguns with my cane damn it. I miss the good ol' days where we had real discipline in the class rooms. None of this participation nonsense
For his Final Smash, he takes it to the fridge.LOL! Sounds like something Cranky Kong would say.
And I personally want Cranky Kong to be playable in a Smash Bros. game one day.
What about an impa that switches between old and young forms? Just like classic sheikI think what helps is that Elderly Impa is rarely one to have a cane, and moreso is depicted as quite wise and has a badass background. She's more retired, but could clearly bring a very capable moveset that still includes her skills throughout the ages. Her age wouldn't make a difference in that regard. She's also sometimes really strong, but yeah, she has a lot of options. And inconsistent design, sure. But that's just a matter of finding what particular style you want her moveset to be, as it can easily be catered to her design moreso.

Well, I was thinking that the next game's soundtrack could consist primarily of rock and jazz-funk music, so maybe the main theme and menu theme could sound something like this:It’s probably because I always have Smash on the brain but when I listen to music, I sometimes think about how cool it could be as Smash menu music. There are two specific songs I always think about Smash whenever I hear them:
- YouTube
Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.m.youtube.com- YouTube

Obviously these exact songs can’t ever be in Smash due to not originating from video games but something along the lines of either of them could be really cool. Am I the only one that thinks about Smash when listening to unrelated music? What type of song would you like to hear for the main theme and menu of the next game?
I would.I actually would not mind Old Woman Impa.
Only because it would be too embarrassingly humiliating to lose to Old Woman Impa of all characters. A plant, a dog & duck and a blockhead are one thing, but an old lady? Nobody could live with that failure.I would.
Wouldn't make much sense to do so. It's already hard enough coming up with a full and coherent moveset. Making two is a lot of extra work. Especially when Impa is much easier to just have one moveset that encompasses what she can do among multiple games. It only really worked with Zelda/Sheik due to being a unique gimmick at the time but also a very notable twist in OOT. Impa being able to time travel to elderly/adult isn't really a new concept to justify it. Nor is it a situation in which justifies it that well. Zelda didn't really have moves, and Sheik was easier to work within an archtype. So they had to struggle to make it work.What about an impa that switches between old and young forms? Just like classic sheik
If I'm not mistaken, from the trailer, it seems like Echoes of Wisdom might have actually given Old Impa some ninja moves.Only because it would be too embarrassingly humiliating to lose to Old Woman Impa of all characters.
Don't tell me what to do!!Ignore this
So, what's up with him, anyway? Before Kazuya was added, basically any time someone talked about Tekken getting into Smash, Heihachi was brought up, yet he wasn't the one chosen to be playable in the end. Is Heihachi the main character but Kazuya's more popular... or could Heihachi and Kazuya be main characters of different parts of the series... or what?Speaking of old characters, I'd still love to see Heihachi get into Smash.
Basically the Tekken series focuses on the three main Mishimas.So, what's up with him, anyway?

I know basically nothing about Tekken myself; just curious.
exactly, they can just pick whatever design they feel suits the moveset they want to make. after all if TP and ALTTP zelda can have moves from OOT and ST then any impa can have the moves of any impaI think what helps is that Elderly Impa is rarely one to have a cane, and moreso is depicted as quite wise and has a badass background. She's more retired, but could clearly bring a very capable moveset that still includes her skills throughout the ages. Her age wouldn't make a difference in that regard.

I didnt see too much speculation on Jin or Kazuya for Smash they were distant possibilities in the community. Heihachi got the attention because of his popularity in Tekken as well as Sakurai directly mentioning that he was briefly considered for Smash 4.It still kinda blows my mind that Kazuya was basically never brought up in Smash Speculation despite being the protagonist of the first game. The focus was always on Jin or Heihachi.
Despite never really knowing he was, I think Kazuya makes a lot of sense in hindsight
Kazuya was the original protagonist of the very first game while Heihachi, his dad, was the antagonist. The big reveal in Tekken 1 is that Kazuya is just as bad as his father, with Tekken 2 flipping the roles so that Heihachi is the protagonist and Kazuya is the antagonist. Tekken 3 is set later and introduces Kazuya's son Jin as the main protagonist, with Heihachi as the villain again and Kazuya absent as he's believed to be dead. In every subsequent game, all three show up with equal focus, generally with Heihachi and Kazuya as villains and Jin as a protagonist who slowly gets more and more evil. In Tekken 7, Jin takes a more minor role narratively, and the story focuses on Heihachi and Kazuya settling their conflict once and for all.So, what's up with him, anyway? Before Kazuya was added, basically any time someone talked about Tekken getting into Smash, Heihachi was brought up, yet he wasn't the one chosen to be playable in the end. Is Heihachi the main character but Kazuya's more popular... or could Heihachi and Kazuya be main characters of different parts of the series... or what?
