I don't. I have no faith at all in Skull Kid or Midna finally showing up.
battletoads seems the most the fun to play as and kunio is also good it will give arc system a rep
What's funny is that Streets of Rage is my go-to choice, but my honest preference would be for reps that weren't Axel or Blaze. They're great fighters and being in every game makes them the obvious choices, but I think I'd honestly prefer Skate, Max, or even the new selections like Cherry or Floyd.
That's really because, as mentioned before, the Zelda series is structured unlike most other Nintendo IPs, being a weird middle ground between having a static cast like Mario or having a revolving door cast like Fire Emblem.
, so in theory it makes sense for Smash to just stick to those three (and their variations/alter egos), but the problem is that Zelda is a big and long running series so it feels weird and wrong for many that it hasn't had a newcomer since 2008, or even 2001 if you're discounting clones/semi-clones.yes but there are plenty of other characters who reappear outside of those threeThat's really because, as mentioned before, the Zelda series is structured unlike most other Nintendo IPs, being a weird middle ground between having a static cast like Mario or having a revolving door cast like Fire Emblem.
There's effectively only three principle characters, those being the Triforce bearers
Yeah, but even those have their own notable problems. Case in point: Tingle
The only Streets of Rage game was SoR4 and I thought it was a lot of fun. After Shredder’s Revenge got me so hyped and reinvigorated my love for TMNT I thought I’d give some other Beat ‘em Ups a chance that I passed over. She’s relatively minor compared to the others in the game but my favorite is Estelle Aguirre. The character I used first who also had a pretty cool design was Floyd Iraia. I don’t think either of them have much a chance compared to Axel or Blaze but they’re my favorites.
smash has reached a point where i'm not convinced there's ever any real argument against a character. that aside i'm not seeing a problem for impa or epona. and being hated, like tingle, isn't really a problem especially since it's died down in recent years. also there is one disticnt difference between jar jar and tingle. where as the vast majority of the fandom hates the films jar jar is in, the vast majority of the fandom loves the games tingle is in regardlessYeah, but even those have their own notable problems. Case in point: Tingle
(Tingle's character designer btw)
should we care what tv tropes does?
It's just a testament to how massive the hatedom for Tingle in the US was. It's the reason why all his solo spinoff games never left Japan and his diminished role in modern Zelda.
yeah that’s a much more likely explanation. but I think we’re mostly talking about the worthiness of another fighter
I don’t really think it’s fair to call WW his last hurrah as that was before he got several games to himself
Several niche games that didn't even get a proper worldwide release lol
so? who are we to say that a game with a limited audience is any less than a game with a massive audience
Eh, that's subjective. Personally, they could add Skull Kid, Midna, Rauru, Tingle, Impa, Ghirahim, Darunia, Dampe and the guy who runs through Hyrule Field and I wouldn't bat an eye. But everyone has their own characters they want to see
well that’s what smash speculation is. all of us debating who we think is more likely/worthy
I don’t do that as much. I prefer to talk about the characters I think would be fun to see regardless of how “worthy” they are. I do once in a while share a few thoughts about who I think might be likely but I try to never put down other characters or people who think differently from me (which seems to be almost everyone lol).
well that’s still kinda what I meant, worthiness is usually down to who people like
I can’t argue with that. Piranha Plant showed us that Smash can add monsters without them necessarily having to be characters. A lot of the monsters have some of the most unique designs and would be really interesting to play in Smash. I’ll gladly take more bosses or basic enemies if they can be translated into characters that are fun to play.
yes there is definitely some potential there. although with gohma the question is which version? spider, crab, err lava worm. spider probably as it’s the most recognisable
Kirby is like this too.
Here's a funny little story about that Tingle outfit...

The Darknut. OMG nightmare fuel! Walk in, door closes, you just got a through a room full of wizzrobes and like likes which cost you your magic shield and now you're trapped in a room of 8 heavy armor tanks with corner pillars shooting at you and you can't block and ... Ahhhh! Yeah definitely vote for a Darknut. Also just one of the coolest Zelda enemies to evolve over the years. I think my favorite was WW just a really satisfying matchup.

Tingle Shocked Zelda: Breath of the Wild Designer Right Down To Her Bones
"He's such an unsettling character...but...he's also so adorable..."
I never knew Tingle was such an emotionally moving piece of human garbage.
in my experience people mostly talk about recurring kirby characters
you ain’t ever seen a bandana dee fan tussle with a marx fan
neither of them are one off
true, but you were supposed to ask how Kirby fans fought over characters so i could post this gif
Ice Climbers.
