Hey, @ aldelaro5 aldelaro5
....do you main Game & Watch because he's flat like Paper Mario...?

urgh.....i said this a lot, but it;s more complicated than it sounds.

I like both character because of a quirk in my eyesight. It basically sucks so much I can't even drive. The way my eyesight works is I see less depth than normal, but I still see enough. Like, the 3ds 3d effect does work for me......but not as much and the effect is a bit minimal.

This means that seeing 3d characters in a 3d environment is good enough, but it;s still not doing the full justice.

Seeing 2d characters on a 3d environment however, this changes everything. I don;t have to concentrate on the depth meaning all I need to care is seeing the character in full without much 3d projection. This makes my eyes so much easier to interpret the image in my brain that it stands out A LOT. I ntoice a lot more details than i normally do so playing G&W is like a huge advantage to me. I also like his playstyle too though as well as the animations.

But when you go to Paper Mario, it's kinda the same way.....except x100. The bright colors and the very fluid animations of the entire series is like everything is made easier for my eyes. Not to mention that there;s other stuff that makes me love the series that much.

But at the end of the day, it;s not because of Paper mario AT ALL. I actually didn;t know the series until years after I played ssbm and we're talking like 10 years after.

But I do love both for a similar reasons, they are just not much related eachother.

Tingle has his own franchise

His own spin-offs don't do as well as a spinoff like DKC, Dr. Mario, Yoshi's Island etc.

Tingle's role in the main Zelda games are pretty minor in general as all he really does is sell items, I'd argue Impa has much of a bigger role in the main games than Tingle.

Does it matter if they only were in one main title in a series? Their impact on gaming as a whole transcends that arbitrary limitation.

What impact would that be? Fan base growth on a certain one shot isn't something impactful IMO. I get their appeal, but outside of that there isn't much.

I'd argue DKC isn't a spinoff as it has the most games. Besides, we all need a little Tingle in our lives

But I'm going to have to Minus 10 because you didn't use Nintendo's Goku so you troll the trolls



Mario already has 2 football games though:troll:

All joking aside, you will probably never see a american football game because it is something only the USA plays and here it is popular enough to sell, and Nintendo being a Japanese company probably doesn't care for the sport just like the rest of the world

You say that but Japan likes American Football.

Not enough to buy games over but it's pretty popular there

impa is a vague archetype, and not even one that can get a consistent appearance
literally every time she's shown up she's looked different
tingle had three games of his own and a dolled-up version of balloon fight

perhaps you don't have him as you'd prefer a watered-down version of the same thing

Impa's appearances are still minor, don't get me wrong. I get the fact he has spinoffs, but those games aren't very successful spinoffs like the Mario spinoffs I mentioned. If a spinoff character got in Smash, they would have to be a pretty big deal.

Funny, but I hope the K. Tool fanbase is smart enough to know that making fun of other characters that have dedicated fans is probably not the best way to strum up support.

I remember when this was originally posted in the K. Rool thread, there were a good amount of K. Rool supporters who were actually offended by the image, and didn't want to invoke potential confrontations with other fan-bases because of it.

This problem occasionally comes up every now and then, mostly related to Kid Icarus and Fire Emblem bashing (of course), which gets annoying, but for the most part, we have our fair share of sensible fans who don't want to offend anybody.

I don't think we will have a Zelda character as DLC, none of them are popular enough.
Impa, the most popular, is as requested as Sceptile.

Zelda has been taken care of relatively well. Sakurai clearly sees driving force behind the series as the Triforce. At this point I'd be surprised if we ever saw anyone who didn't hold a piece of it playable in Smash.

cia confirmed :troll:

also wait
if a japan-only subseries is insignificant, why does an entire series that's never been released there have a character on your roster, blue

I think Zelda's the only franchise who can get away with different versions of the same character while making it work.

Define "extremely well."
Click to expand...
My memory is a bit messy when it comes to the Mother series' sales, but Mother 3 at least sold great. It sold about more than 350k copies in its first year according to Famitsu. So... Extremely well was not the right choice, but whatever, not my point.

Point is, we had Japan exclusive characters before

What Blue was getting at is that Tingle's spinoff games are insignificant enough that despite coming from a worldwide popular franchise, does not get localized much. The keyword here is relative to its own franchise. Mother 3 is a different story because it was actually a MAJOR release of the Mother franchise. Tingle's games are too minor to the Zelda series to matter much.
