Believe, believe like the Mac and Saki fanbases and how they got new games (Sin & Punishment: Star Successor and Punch Out Wii). Also, we have to see how well the 3DS VC port sells first before we make the final verdict or even start buying the games (IF we will also get the Wii U VC port) altogether.
So Takamaru's reveal was kinda like Japan's version of Waluigi's reveal since both received a lot of negative reception.
Life is to precious for me to do something like that.
This genuinely worries me if Krystal gets in.
Fans are being heared a lot this recent years, im sure we are going to have a comeback ;D
I highly doubt Sakurai would go out of his way to make someone who's already an Assist in-game and make him/her a DLC fighter later on. Besides, I can't think of anyone who could replace his role. Most of the Daimyo threw explosives as opposed to large, blade projectiles at their foes while a ninja would throw projectiles that are too small to be effective.
They are negative because they have unrealistic expectations of the game.Before anything my condolences to Takamaru fans, we always need to take this kind of "hints" with a grain of salt.
But other than that I have been reading the last page about the negative reaction to Takamaru's deconfirmation in Japan. There are somethings to consider and not really go around thinking everyone is pissed, there is always the posibility that a minority is so vocal about it that made it seems everyone is pissed, and I am not saying they shouldn't be.
The thing here is it doesn't matter what characters are confirmed or disconfirmed, there is always going to be people pissed or mad because their characters didn't make to the game, despite being "obvious" choices, in that regard I prefer to stay on the pesimistic spectrum about the characters I want, in this case I fully supported Palutena and she was the reason I joined the site, even with the 3ds leaks and gematsu I was always exceptical about it until the actual confirmation happened. Lucina was more of a pipe dream and was my 2nd right behind Palutena, but I never ever expected her, she was a surprise.
If you go to the rate thread and check saturday, lots of people put Takamaru with such high scores because of the game reveal only to saw Takamaru deconfirmed yesterday. What I am trying to say is that sometimes it's better to be pesimistic that way expectations wouldn't be crushed so hard.
About that Lyn incident I don't know if it is real or an urban legend since that specific game is way more popular here than in Japan but I have to say there are more things in live than characters getting confirmed in a game.
We should be thankful with Sakurai for even bringing us the posibility to play this outstanding series, without him we shouldn't be here today, that is a part that I dislike of some people in general, it is always easier to point out the bad things, instead of being grateful.
But you have hope guys/girls Takamaru NOW stands a REAL shot for the next game, so I wish you luck
Pac-Man has been more active than half the playable cast as of late. Ever heard of Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures? And the point of a "retro" character is to bring back a forgotten Nintendo character. Pac-Man is a third party.
And thus the main definition of a "Broken Base" where there is one side where everyone agrees with a situation in the fandom or another side that disagrees. This cycle repeats itself for every fandom, most notably the Sonic fanbase, and we should all learn to live with it. We should accept that certain things happen and take something positive about about instead going "Woe is me!" like that Lyn fangirl or any other Sonic fan.Before anything my condolences to Takamaru fans, we always need to take this kind of "hints" with a grain of salt.

So pretty much that means:
This is true, but Lucina and Robin are more well known. Most people don't even know who Takamaru is, however Lucina was plastered all over the place when Awakening was released. Sad, but true (maybe not true for smashboards, but I'm talking in general)
I mean that if a new game releases, now that Nintendo can do DLC, he could be added in and when he's on stage he doesn't appear as an assist.
Mr Sheriff
Ah, now I get what you're saying. A promotion like what happened with Little Mac (even though many have suggested this before
)? I agree, next round will be even better when Nintendo is capable of even more technology for their next big console. Was just a little too distracted to get you earlier.
Fixed it.Mr Sheriff
All these and no Duck Hunt Dog?
Forgot him too.All these and no Duck Hunt Dog?
This does seem like wishful thinking, but it does make a certain amount of sense that if we do get DLC characters (something only disconfirmed leaks have suggested), to use characters who already have a model on disc. Failing that, it seems like the Wii U is moddable, so we may start seeing the community releasing its own "dlc" within a couple years.
Of course I have, but that Pac-Man is a completely different incarnation. Ghostly Adventures Pac-Man is just some dweeb high school kid with lame elemental powers, the Pac-Man in Smash is a classic retro character full of charm and nostalgia.
I do hope you understand that both of your top two got confirmed to be playable, and many here have had their favorite deconfirmed. We shouldn't be angry at sakurai, but people are upset, and that's ok; I know how they feel.Before anything my condolences to Takamaru fans, we always need to take this kind of "hints" with a grain of salt.

Support threads stick around until they're all ultimately nuked within a few days after the final roster is confirmed. Before then, it really depends on the fanbase. Some talk about other playable opportunities in the future, some pack up entirely and largely fade into obscurity, some go ahead and talk about the prospects of the next Smash, some go on angry rants until they burn themselves out, etc. Heading into the homestretch, Shulk, Ridley, K. Rool, Mewtwo, Krystal, Bandana Dee, Chrom, Takamaru, Issac, and Dixie were the main contenders so there's probably a decent chance that these fan bases will be back for the next installment if they are not playable in this game.
They are deleted?
Last classic pacman appareance was in "pacman championship edition" on 2010.
pacman only represents himself, not older nintendo times.Burigu's point is that no one is a "shoe in", and believe it and take it too far never ends well.
I am aware of that and I said people are complaining and with a good reason, I just pointed out people sometimes put to much attention about what they aren't getting than they already have. Sometimes is better to count your blessings, Takamaru might not be playable this time around but you were put in the right direction, I am going to be honest I never understood why Takamaru was the defacto "retro" for this game acording to so many people, appart for the concept and the retro revival argument I didn't see to much pointing to him. But now is different Takamaru is in smash now, if he continues to get attention like this, he certainly has a much better shot, for the next game
I agree completely and you are welcome!
You got it, that is what I was trying to say.
Actually, they're locked but, that's the thing, the entire board is locked aside from the confirmed characters. People are given about two days to get a few final words in before character support threads are strictly forbidden until the next Smash Bros is what I like to call "pseudo-announced." Brawl was technically announced in 2005 and SSB4 in 2012, one year before they were officially shown at E3 2006 and 2013 respectively.
Cool, thanks
Should that be the case for this Smash when DLC characters are a possibility? The circumstances for this Smash are very different when compared to Brawl.
actually his last appearance in his retro design was in Pac-Man Monsters last February. tho it is a bit stylized. if thats not good enough for ya he was also in Mario Kart Arcade GP DX.
I remember this. It was September 11, 2007. This was on the Nsider forums. Some Lyn fangirl got so butthurt over Lyn being an Assist Trophy. She said she wanted to kill herself. Several forum members tried to talk her out of it and some criticized her and called her pathetic. I don't know what happened after that because Nsider was shut down permanently. Maybe she really became an hero or it was just her cry for attention.
I was mostly interested in the unrest or upset reactions for the sake of confirming it for myself that the character still has a large and active set of fans in the modern day. The last time we ever got a notice that Takamaru was popular was during the pre-Brawl voting thread on the Japanese Dojo site where Takamaru stayed on for three full rounds of voting (short of Dedede's 5 and Ridley and K. Rool's 4 IIRC). I've already mentioned how happy I am to see the character in a position with such high visibility especially when riding the coat tails of a new localization announcement and coming into vogue for a new set of Nintendo gamers. This is in stark contrast to what a lot of franchises and characters will get as the game continues to lay itself bare.
