My face when Ash Paulson doesn’t want Daisy or Goku in Smash.
Well, Goku gets that reaction from most Smash fans, do remember Smash is still a fanbase made primarily made up of Nintendo fandoms, and they like that Smash is a game that celebrates Nintendo IPs.
Daisy on the other hand for a character that appears in Mario spin-offs, which people don't really mind or care about, it seems kind of weird she's one of the more controversial characters for Smash, and she was this way back in Brawl to an extent, so it happened before that guy showed up. So Daisy is really weird, though I honestly think if Daisy was added, he really wouldn't care.
Yeah, that's what's catching people off guard. Only other time it's happened recently was Unova, where he didn't really have a signature regional mon.
Well, I could see someone making a case that Pignite was he signature mon for the region, but otherwise, yeah I agree.
Basically, a super prominent non-starter that gets a lot of attention in supplementary stuff. It's a (relatively) newer thing compared to other Pokémon archetypes since it started in Gen 4, so it's why there's only three mons who really fit it.
Thanks for the answer
Yeah, it's true that the Trainer was ostensibly based on the remakes, which were part of Gen 3. May have had to do with Gen 3 being a thing when Brawl development started, but I'm not sure.
Which actually makes me wonder again how seriously they considered the idea of Zoroark getting into Smash 4 alongside a Gen 6 mon. The attack the Zoroark summon does is very Final Smash-like...
Yeah, Zoroark may have made it, he does add an interesting concept after all, illusion fighter, but its possible just how the 3DS stopped Ice Climbers and Pokemon Trainer from coming back, possible the 3DS stopped them from fully realising the concept, it honestly would be nice if Sakurai and Co. did go back and look at old generations of Pokemon, cause the old Gens offer a lot of good concepts for fighters, and most of the popular Pokemon don't usually lose popularity in later gens. But who knows, maybe they could go back and decide to add a Gen 5 Pokemon, but I doubt it,
Far as I know, the idea wasn't seriously considered in Melee. Source Gaming is pretty good about getting the facts straight about Smash background details.
Yeah, I'm sure I'm making a mix up somewhere.
The frogs rebelled against you guys once.
Didn't end well for my people.
Good thing we all learned from this, right?
Eh, we left Quebec alone, cause they didn't ***** about us, plus we defended you guys against the Americans, remember you guys helped burn down the original White House, let's keep reminding the USA we did that.
If it's not in DLUF then it must be a mix-up, sorry. If a source comes up I can edit it in
Yeah, I'm sure I'm mixing it up from somewhere. I thought I read about it in one of the discord servers we were both in at one point, but I'm sure its a mix up. I mean I wouldn't be surprised if the concept was written down for Melee, but they just didn't have enough time to get it to work.
Although thinking about it, Bell Sprout tower was either rumoured or planned to be a stage in Melee, right? May mind may have somewhere swapped out that stage idea for the Gen II Pokemon Trainer idea, since I want more Gen II in Smash.
Oh boy fingers crossed that's not the case...
Right now unlike Smash Bros Invitational back in 2014... this time there is no info on how to compete...
Splatoon 2 though, if Taiwan can enter.. maybe I will take a shoot... get it...? lol
I somehow doubt it, last thing Nintendo would want is to cause an international dispute. Though they could let Taiwanese sneak in as Chinese Americans, cause hey, I'm sure contests have done that before. Basically someone from Taiwan wants to compete, just say their Chinese American, and nobody's none the wiser.
So, here's food for thought.
It wouldn't make much sense for this invitational to be our first look at
anything regarding the game. There'd be so much going on that it'd be a mess, much less the fact that they wouldn't be able to keep anything in the E3 demo under wraps.
So wouldn't the fact that this exists tell us that
they're planning on giving us a true first look some time beforehand?
Eh, maybe. They did show off Mario Maker at the Nintendo Championship at E3, the other year though. So the invitational could be the first showing of it to the public.
Anyone seen this already?
You know, this gives me a genuine idea, that would be pretty cool I think. What if Nintendo at an esports event, where they had a Smash Bros tournament, a Splatoon tournament, Mario Kart tournament, and the Pokemon championship altogether.
I kind of think it would be a great event. Also they'd need to add Mario Party, so contests can troll each other. I'd also love to see a Mario speed run contest, through the most brutal Mario Maker levels.
