Can't wait for people to say that Incineroar was always the most popular Gen 7 choice in future Smash discussions.
We all know that's gonna happen

I don't think that's why they went with him. He probably just had a lot more potential for an awesome moveset. Which I can see,

Alright but did you see this?

That's sexy, not normal sexy, but sexy nonethless.
Oh, so Meta Rids is going to get alt colors like his normal form, nice, hopefully I will see the rest soon and get more ideas. Wish I knew there was an Omega Ridley/Phazon Meta coloration, which probably is not going to be.

I was feeling rather well until I saw things deeply. Even if Ridley, my favorite dragon and villain of all time is there, I feel I will still end up abandoning the game regardless, because from what I see, it will bore me faster with the lack if many things I had fun with. Like I said, I wanted to try out many things with Ridley I never would be able to in the past, but not even now that he's in I am going to be able to.

I may just wait for the game's models to be extracted, get Ultimate Ridley's and U.Meta's like how I now have Phazon Meta and Omega's and that's it. I won't probably need to spend any money for a game so lackluster.

GameXplain keeps mentioning how he's also really, really popular in Japan.

AKA the only region that matters.

Who knows? :3
Feel like ranking the current newcomers from most hyped to me to least:
  1. :ultkrool:
  2. :ultinkling:
  3. :ultken:
  4. :ultincineroar:
  5. :ultpiranha:
  6. :ultsimon:
  7. :ultrichter:
  8. :ultridley:
  9. :ultisabelle:
  10. :ultchrom:
  11. :ultdaisy:
  12. :ultdarksamus:
Play along if y'all like.
Here's my list:

1. :ultkrool:
2. :ultken:
3. :ultridley:
4. :ultinkling:
5. :ultincineroar:
6. :ultsimon:
7. :ultrichter:
8. :ultchrom:
9. :ultdarksamus:
10. :ultpiranha:
11. :ultisabelle:
12. :ultdaisy:


Honestly, this list was kind of hard to develop, but I will admit that I was less excited for Daisy and Isabelle then I was for everyone else as even the Piranha Plant admittedly had some nice TTYD references that made me appreciate it, but I'd say it would be #7 or #8 at most if I had to move it. As for Incineroar, I'd say he's beginning to grow on me to a large degree, hence him being higher up then most.

Not to mention a good load of personality to show off, that I think is a big reason why Sakurai choose him.

Decidueye meanwhile, while I think there was moveset potential, is personality isn't exactly the most interesting.

Metal Ridley only as two colors tho, his default one and the one you just saw, which was the white one from the demo.

Also, lackluster? Seem pretty strong of a word for a game with so many options to paly with, but hey, if there is nothing that interest you personally, I can get that (Tho I'm not sure being only focused on 1 character only is a good thing or not)

It will with some people, which is sad. That said, at the very least, Incineroar was never the "least" popular 7th Gen Starter. Sure, it got flak for being bipedal and the worry about being a Fire/Fighting type, but it did lose most of that once it was found out he was Fire/Dark. They also hold favor as a popular Pokemon for Double Battles by what I heard.

That said, the only thing I keep hearing is that Incineroar is very popular in Japan, whereas over here, Incineroar seems to compete with Decidueye. But it wouldn't be surprising at all if their Japanese popularity was part of the reason why Incineroar was chosen.

I meant in terms of Smash popularity.

Isn't :ultincinceroar: popular in Japan due to ressembling a character from a anime who is well-beloved?

The only good thing about Incineroar's inclusion is that I have a new punching bag.
Choosing punching bags because you dislike a character is unhealthy and perpetuates negative emotion.

I'm going to use Chrom as my punching bag because it's his main purpose of existence.

I was actually super annoyed at the constant Decidueye mentions so I'm gonna go ahead and revel in Sakurai going heel here LOL

Funny, I never expected the one design of Ridley that is closer to his SM/Brawl one in this game to have a white alt...I guess I should say "There's no such thing as coincidences."
Also, lackluster? Seem pretty strong of a word for a game with so many options to paly with, but hey, if there is nothing that interest you personally, I can get that (Tho I'm not sure being only focused on 1 character only is a good thing or not)
I mean, I have MANY other characters I can use (:ultfalco::ultwolf::ultrosalina::ultike::ultmetaknight:), not only :ultridley:. But even back then when he wasn't playable, I would enjoy the game for a while, wonder what it would be if I could play as Ridley and then get bored of the game, but at least the things it had entertained me for quite a long time, ever since Melee. And now that I have those characters and the one I dreamed of, the stuff I wanted to spend my time on while playing is gone, so what's the point?

I couldn't disagree more but that wasn't even close to being my point.
I never said it was your point, it's my point that it should be irrelevant on who the most popular was, so I don't really see why anyone should argue that for his case in smash. The most popular could have been Primirina for instance(my favorite out if the 3 BTW), but I could see it being much harder to work with.

And although Decidueye isn't impossible by any means, they could have easily thought of something. But Incineroar to the devs probably seemed like more of a shoe-in with its moveset and personality regarding.

IDK, the unnessacary hate Incineroar gets just because Decidueye fans are so petty just bugs me. Would have bugged me just as much if it was vice versa. Though Decidueye is my least favorite out of the trio, I still lile it and if it made it in it would have seemed sensible too.

Well you are going on Santa's Naughty List.

People want to make "punching bags" of characters because of a joke or they hate the character, but I will combo anyone really. The punching bags that I like are combo food usually, but I will do anyone. I will even combo Isabelle if I must.

Also, Smash popularity more often than not gets you jack all if characters lile Waluigi are anything to go by. Not to say it doesn't help, but it doesn't make you a shoe-in.

Newcomer rankings:
  1. :ultridley:(most wanted since Smash 4. No contest here. He also looks super fun and seems to fit my preferred playstyle so I hope to make him one of my mains)
  2. :ultrichter:(didn't care about him before but I've gotten into CV recently after his anmouncement. Moveset looks pretty dang fun and I really like his design)
  3. :ultisabelle:(Always been a fan of Isabelle so I'm glad she's finally here. Side B looks stupidly fun and Down B is good for trap set ups)
  4. :ultdarksamus:(the cooler Samus. And hey, it's more Metroid representation which I'm all in for)
  5. :ultken:(Ryu but better, might actually try to play him and I like his versions of the specials better)
  6. :ultchrom:(Roy but better. Also, he doesn't suck ass)
  7. :ultinkling:(Pretty neutral, still need to play them firsthand to really give an opinion but I like the new mechanics they bring)
  8. :ultpiranha:(Still puzzled and laughing about it. Still gonna try to play it for fun)
  9. :ultincinceroar:(Not really a fan of Incineroar but he looks pretty fun so I might give him a try)
  10. :ultsimon:(Richter but ugly. Why would anyone ever play him?)
  11. Huge ****ing gap
  12. :ultkrool:(ew)
  13. EVEN BIGGER GAP
  14. :ultdaisy:(EWWWWW)

He resembles Tiger Mask, a manga character who is a cultural icon over in Japan. Including the fact that several real life wrestlers have played the role over the years and still do to this day.

Wrestling in Japan overall is seen as a huge deal, even though they know it's all "fake" it's still taken extremely seriously as a sport.

As for Incineroar being chosen, we know Gamefreak basically has full pull for that. I wouldn't be shocked if the reason they went for Incineroar in Smash was because they chose Decidueye for Pokken DX and Dusk Lycanroc was their Ultra SM merch machine.

We may not agree with everything, but at least we agree on the absolute top and absolute bottom, you dumb dumb. And more importantly, on Simon and Richter. LMAO

And yeah, Ken to me is also Ryu but better. Ken usually adds that extra speed and momentum that I feel Ryu lacks. Oh, also flare.

Santa is getting his nudes posted around the camp and his royal sword peeped on in the bath.

If he takes a paint roller to the face well that's just Tuesday.

If we go by that Pokemon poll from a while back, Primarina was actually the most popular final Alola starter, with Rowlet being the most popular overall.

Incineroar was up there though and Decidueye placed the lowest I believe.

Popularity didn't have a factor, especially when the roster was decided in 2015.

Lampy, like I said, I don't think you should leave over this: I still understand your frustation, but I don't feel you should have to leave over this. If anything, you just don't have to engage in conversations related to Decidueye.

'seem like Smash the game isn't your kind of game in general, right?

Well, I can't say for sure, Stickers are less interesting for sure than trophy, and Target Mode is....well, we don't actually know if it's here in any form or shape. But I feel like if you want to play something to pass time, not every single hours of the day but just when you feel bored and whatnot, or with friends Smash is the ideal game for that and the Switch really is made for quick session whatever you feel like it.

But if if the core gameplay doesn't interest you all that much, well, yeah, I don't know what could make you happy. What I like isn't what you would like for sure, but I still wouldn't call the game lackluster imo, just not varied enough I say for some players. (Tho on that note, there still details about Classic Mode and Adventure Mode I need to see).

I don't know, just the choices of words I find weird, but maybe that's just me.

It is a big deal, but I just want to mention a fun fact.

Japan's biggest sport is Baseball. They actually inherited baseball from Americans and they gave us Cherry Blossom Trees in thanks.

China did a similar thing and gave us a Great Panda Bear when Nixon tried to improve relations in China.
Well then, since no one is gonna miss me, I guess i'll delete this account.
I want to say I miss you, but I see you all the time in Twitter. Stay cool.

I mean, I've gone offhand saying that I didn't want Incineroar and that pokemon didn't need a new rep. The only thing that changed my mind was, well, Incineroar being in smash. And mostly because I love wrestling and posing.

And Tiger Mask the anime is based off of an actual lineage of wrestlers.

Didn't Yellow just speak up to ask you not to?

Normally I'm a lot softer with these topics but the particular issue here touches a nerve with me so instead I'm gonna meet my emotions halfway and give you the tough love approach.

You're planning on deleting your account because you're throwing a tantrum over which character got into the game. It's not that no one will miss you, because we will, it's that you're being ridiculous. So sit your butt down, stay, and knock it off.
