And everyone's okay with Marth #3? Gotcha.
Paper Mario is completely unique moveset wise. People on here are all about "Movesets make the character".
Edit: Also, adle, I kind of...do not understand your post at all
I'll explain the argument in the first place: it revolves on saying there's redundancy.
The main problem with it is seriously where is the redundancy?
Because I really do not want paper mario for the character. I really don't want him for just that, if I would, then I would understand why it is questionable with mario being in the game.
it's not how it works. Every character acts a bit like a delegate to something related to their origins (this is that something that I define as subsets).
I use her a lot as example, but if you take rosalina, she isn't there just to have rosalina in the roster, she reflects the subset of the galaxy stuff in the mario franchise. You could argue the same with dr mario and so on. However, this si ambiguous, it;s not necessarily a series, it might be something inside a franchise and these subsets can be splitted (like the zelda series, toon link and link have a different subsets, but there's some similarity in the fact that they are btoh links).
Also, the reasons Paper Jam helps is it further enhance the point of mario not even feeling the same as paper mario. The fact this is enhanced officially (even to the point of having naming distinction and a lot of in game effects) does mean that nintendo don;t necessarily view them as the same entity. If it wasn;t the case, the point of the crossover would be weird.
What I basically mean is that no matter how paper mario is related to mario, saying that it would be redundancy BECAUSE of being related to mario is pretty much saying that you only care about the character itself.
Like, toon link is link. There's like.....not much to say about it. If you question why it was necessary to put another link, the same goes for putting Rosalina, she wasn't necessary too. It;s because as the smash roster grows, some subset becomes to be interesting to have their own delagates. Toon link despite being link is not feeling the same nor reflects the same as link.
I just don;t understand why the "he;s related to mario" would block everyone and forget about it claiming it's redundancy. Considering the current roster, I hardly believe it works that way.....
