That's good to hear, even after the reveal of Mac and Greninja respectively. 3 weeks until one of the hypest things Smash related.
Interesting, at least you didn't die like the rest of us. With enough practice, it's enough to one-shot any NES/Famicom game.
Not dying is probably the biggest challenge with the game. You get punished real hard for mistakes and you lose a life after three hits, losing all power-ups. Just getting hit loses you like 1.5 seconds.
I think the lack of a Takamaru trophy could be for time constraints. After all, we didn't see trophies for other classic games like Urban Champion or Joy Mech Fight. It was a good that he had some content in Brawl (a sticker of himself and his main theme as one of Mario Bros's songs) due to more time being put into that game than Melee. The game's merchandise was more or less Nintendo trying to push it to be popular (though the game flopped and got overshadowed by Zelda in the end). Nazo no Murasame-Jo isn't that popular in its home country, but does have a small cult following. A revival whether it involves his inclusion in Smash or not would be nice since the company still expressed some attachment to the series.
I finally found my avatar. Thanks.
Totally Takamaru, Pit, and Samus am I right?
Dude, when I read that, I thought the same exact thing! ...Probably too good to be true, though.
This is so true since he should be in Smash if he's been getting attentioned post-Brawl.My face if Takamaru is not in smash 4:
Inb4 we get Ryu Hayabusa instead because of Team Ninja's involvement.
Saw this coming a mile away. I wouldn't be surprised at all if there were a number of Nintendo cameos in this game.
Marth is the only choice for a Fire Emblem character, honestly. He's practically the mascot, after all.
Either Captain Rainbow (minus the cartoony proportions) or Classic Takamaru. It overall depends on what design they choose for him in general or if Sakurai makes a completely new design.
That makes good sense, thank you for your time sir.
Maybe it's due to the fact that we don't know if Sakurai actually acknowledge Nintendo Land's existence or been under the radar of what's been happening post-Brawl. If he becomes an assist in this game, at least he could join the next title in the near future like Mac.
I am worried about it too. Me and many others hope Takamaru isn't an assist trophy. Honestly, there's no good reason for him to be. He has full move set potential based on his game. Like this video shows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQfhyZ9gifM He's also highly requested and has made a semi comeback in recent games. And we could use a samurai character so we could have a different sword fighting style.
His voice was pretty decent, but nothing special due to how bland his Samurai Warriors portrayal was. They should hire someone with more
On the other hand it did give him a Bear mount and if the start to revive Takamaru's game and don't include that, I will be dissapoint
I'd say his chances had increased slightly, but not by a huge margin due to how vague they were by "surprising playable characters. Since he was playable in a Warriors game in the past, they can easily use the same moveset he had, but tweak the model's textures and give him his own abilities like Link. But there are also a few issues like that rumor being debunked since the game's plot is much different than it was theorized and we still don't know what the game's roster will be like. We could be seeing more reveals in the near future, especially at E3, since the game will hit Japan this summer. Either way, I'd be fine if his inclusion in the game had any effect on him being unlockable or DLC in Smash (IF Sakurai was aware of Hyrule Warrior's development during or before he started working on Smash).
He could be still playable in Hyrule Warriors, without having any relation with the story itself.. isn't he? Just as an extra character, for fill the roster... also, if Sakurai had already choosed Takamaru for Smash4, Tecmo could pull him in Hyrule Warriors for an early marketing on him (I mean, Smash4 having influence in HW roster, and HW being convenient for his reveal later in Smash4).
You may be right about this since he is a tricky guy after all. He even could have spoken with Tecmo about incorporating a few references from Hyrule Warriors (trophies or stickers). We'll see at E3 since there's a little over 2 weeks left.
I'm just happy the Mysterious Murasame Castle is finally getting an international release (and so close to E3 to boot).
