Rereading the last few pages, would people be offended if someone let's say like Chun-li,tifa, or zero got in before let's say rayman,bomberman or someone not from a 3rd party already present?Didn't know that was a popular opinion
Chun-Li could be neat
Tife YES PLEASE!!!
Zero...meh indifferent overall...

----

I'm actually curious what people would legitemately think if Midna got added....

I feel like I don't have to ask for Dark Samus because overall there'd probably be a lot of hate just because of Ridley's absence...

I honestly think it will.

A lot of now beloved Dreamcast games weren't appreciated back then either.

But we'll have to wait and see.
A lot of Dreamcast games are generally completely unique and of an IP that didn't continue past that point, though.

The Dreamcast is also quite historical and ahead of it's time, so tech heads love it. It was the first home console to have online support, and Sonic Adventure was the first home console game to ever have DLC. Speaking of Sonic Adventure, most people consider the Dreamcast version the best version because of it having less bugs and much better lighting than the DX port.

Nearly everything worth playing on the Wii U is either going to get numerous sequels in the future, or it's getting a port on Switch or 3DS (and said ports are usually superior to the original). Everything else (games like Star Fox: Zero, Paper Mario: Colour Splash, and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash) is notably flawed and wasn't even bought by Wii U owners.

As for the system itself, it didn't really do anything revolutionary. Even the GamePad's core concept has been done before, just not packed in with a console.

The Dreamcast was also THE last SEGA console...that alone just gives it a certain weight, a certain sense of mystery to it. As we well know now though, the Wii U is not the last Nintendo console.

Okay, I'm calm now.
Lucina and Dark Pit are not worse versions of the originals. With Lucina there's the tipper argument, but that has been pretty much torn down.
With DP, it's just arrows and side b launch angles.
They're not worse.

But yes, I would easily accept it if sakurai gave those two different movesets, I'd still gladly play them. Just as long as they're not an alt skin or taken out of the next game.
Actually, Dark Pit's Ftilt doesn't have a tipper, making it a worse version of Pit's

I may have been the only Villager supporter since brawl.
That was because of the "Sakurai said Villager couldn't get in because he wasn't a fighter" thing due to a Brawl interview. It drove most potential supporters off, although a fair few people still asked for "Animal Crosser," so you weren't the only one.

People say Sakurai pulling the rug out from under their fan rules started with the DLC. Not really. It basically started from the moment Smash 4 newcomer reveals were a thing.

If each third party series got a second character...


Metal Gear: Raiden
Sonic: Tails
Mega Man: Zero
Pac-Man: .... Dig Dug?
Street Fighter: Chun-Li
Final Fantasy: Lightning/Tidus/Cecil
Bayonetta: Lol


With Lucina there's the tipper argument, but that has been pretty much torn down.
And doesn't have the stat changes to make that a worthwhile element.

If she was a little more rushdown oriented (faster speed, faster fall speed, less lag on certain moves) the no tipper could work.

But as of now, she plays like Marth without Marth's greatest strength. The thing his moveset is based around.

Believe me. I tried to find a niche for her.

With DP, it's just arrows and side b launch angles.
And F Tilt and jab finisher.

F Tilt does less knockback for some reason.

Jab finisher is blatantly worse (it has less range for some reason).

Electroshock has a more horizontal angle but that means he kills later outside of a few situational moments.

Arrows are okay honestly.


There is a reason why their boards are merged and Marth and Pit are the only ones who get competitive play.

Chun-Li: I'd rather have Bison and/or Cammy before CL.
Tifa: Sure, but could we also get Sephiroth?
Zero: Yeah, I think he could be fun.

Iirc from the Pit/DP boards, electroshock is stronger, and the diagonal launch angle means that if it doesn't kill he can go for an aerial offstage, whereas with Pit if it doesn't kill you you have to wait for them to come down.

Possible, but the arms moves are hard to hit in their own right.

Pit if it doesn't kill you you have to wait for them to come down.
And go for a juggle opportunity.

You know Nairo hasn't played him in a LOOOOOONG time, right?

My most wanted second FF character is Terra, but I'm not expecting her.

That's great to hear.

Marvel yet again turns a B list superhero into something everybody knows.
And I couldn't be happier about it, especially since Doctor Strange is my third favorite Marvel hero. :p

I haven't seen it yet, sadly, though I plan on seeing it Tuesday after voting.

That's also true.
Since when is a little under a month a loooooong time? I was talking about Lucina.

What's the happening fellas.
Well the US election continues to be an anime, Nintendo slipped a "artists aren't appreciated in their time" statement about the WiiU into Animal Crossing and the current topic is wanted Smash characters.

Nairo doesn't use Lucina that much.

Only pulled her out for one set and IIRC didn't win.

I haven't bought any games in a while, so nope.

...Why did you think that anyway?
The little furry sidekick in the game, Tama, has a "verbal tic" where they randomly say "the" before words where it doesn't even make sense to.

It's consistently done throughout the entire game.

Let's analyze this for a second.

"Great artists aren't always appreciated in their own time."
This fortune was obviously referencing the fact that the system wasn't a commercial success.

"If you stray from the path, you will soon find yourself lost."
If you stray from the path, you will soon find yourself lost... a path... hmm... the path to success?

I believe this one is Nintendo admitting they failed to market the system well and differentiate it from its predecessor, among other things.

This was brought to you by No **** Sherlock, a FlightShift company.

No. it should be ****ing Cecil. He'd be tight.
With the DS remake of his game being the one FF I've played. . .I mean he'd be alright but he doesn't do much to stand out. Dark Knight can sap his own health for a strength boost, Paladin has a small pool of White Magic that looks utterly pathetic when you look at Rosa's, I would assume the latter would be the added one and I can't see vanilla healing spells being properly implemented into Smash so that narrows it even further.

Granted I haven't touched that Dissidia stuff you guys have been messing with, so there's probably something extra there.

Or maybe you just want to see a man with long flowing hair and blue lipstick get into Smash or something. :awesome:

Doubt it, they didn't have Nightmare Before Christmas, Ghostbusters (original), Silence of the Lambs, Doctor Who, or Psych when I looked on Halloween. Also their current list of anime is mehhh best it has is Kill La Kill.

He used her twice at KTAR 13.
Used her at Abadango Saga, and used her multiple times at Big House 6.

Lord Dio Lord Dio Nice to see you again, man! How are you doing?
Good, high school's alright. How've you been?
