Paper Mario though.

And Dr. Mario...

Enough to get it a US release obviously.

it has

• parental death
• implied sibling death
• your dad hitting someone in the ****ing face with a flaming stick because he's mad
• parental abandonment
• the magypsies
• parental abuse
• swearing (or at least, the most effective way for kumatora to be translated)
• animal abuse
• an event that can be construed as sexual abuse
• TANETANE ISLAND
• porky's "Fan Room"
• child suicide
• and the end of the world at the player's hand

And Dr. Mario...

And Meow Meow Mario.

 

[Naoshi]

Meow Meow Mario confirmed for DLC!!!

 

[BluePikmin11]

cia confirmed

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

Which one are you referring to?

 

[Khoru]

Which one are you referring to?

startropics
the games have only been released in america and europe

 

[Kenith]

And Meow Meow Mario.

If he's mostly a clone of Mario, i'd actually be okay with Meow Meow Mario.
Maybe make his specials different, but that's it. It'd be really funny.

We'd need an extra large order of chips for the amount of Salt there'd be.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

I love Aaron Webber.

 

[Starlight_Lily]

Not to be nitpicky, but he still has the Master Sword...and his Final Smash

But you don't need the triforce to wield the Master Sword, as most Link's will tell you. Only Oot/MM and TP Link had the trifoce of courage when they used the Master Sword.

Oh and also I forgot, we also have Ganondorf, who lost his piece at the end of Twilight Princess

I'd rather have fries.
Seriously though.
Cat Mario. Last DLC character. The "joke suggestion" when they announced the ballot was actually a red herring.
Cat Mario for Smash.

I like how he said "fans who think Generations and Colors were good are delusional" then right after that he implied it's last great game was Adventure 2.

Many people outside Japan consider Startropics one of Nintendo's classic franchises, a bit like Punch Out!. The two games I have seen and played are really good games.
Short and quick, since I'm leaving.
I think @shinhed-echi would explain it better than me.

Well, I consider Midna one of Nintendo's "classic characters".
Do you see what I'm getting at now?

that doesn't change it never having appeared in smash? it came out before the first game but it's never gotten so much as a sticker.

The Tanetane island quotes are morbid as ****. Honestly, Mother 3 isn't released outside of Japan purely because of content reasons. With as much support as there is for it, there is literally no other reason to not release it. Though it might be close now that we finally got Mother 1.

This just reaks of "My opinion is better than theirs and it's a fact!".

EDIT: On a side note, oh good god that Neptunia game they're showing is super cringe. SUPER CRINGE.

Don't let @Neo Zero here you say that

On the topic of the video, I'm surprised they didn't mention any sports games

Neptunia is such a weird choice for that video.

I mean the series is super cringy and gross don't get me wrong, but their target audience is pretty much otaku. The series is doing exactly what it's supposed to do and that's why it's selling well.

It's not like FE which went from being modest to full blown fanservice starting with Awakening and getting even worse with Fates.

Also, on Tales, #symphoniawasntthatgreat.jpg

just curious, what tales games do you like? i know little about the series other than that it tends to subvert/deconstruct/whatever rpg conventions

 

[BluePikmin11]

I didn't really apply the region exclusive rule to the roster by the way.

 

[CroonerMike]

good. The Dee does not appreciate blasphemy and would slap you for it.
That came out wrong

Didn't mean to offend the God dee!

I know 2 things about Neptunia, it's filled with Kamen Rider references and Keiji Inafune is a summon.
I thought we discussed this list 12 hours ago

I'm not really into competitive smash that much, but I'm kind of hyped for this. This could have some potential implications and change the game a little. It's going to be interesting to see where this goes.

Pretty much all Tales games' plot follow this template: Starts off with a generic JRPG plot and goal -> **** happens -> Everything you know is a lie -> rinse and repeat for the next game.

The real meat of Tales games comes in character development/interactions.

My personal favorite Tales overall is Abyss, it's the one I find the most balanced in terms of character development, enjoyable gameplay and nice plot (skits aren't voiced tho).

My favorite battle system from comes from Graces, while my favorite cast is Vesperia's.

Also Symphonia is alright, but it hasn't aged very well. What it did Abyss and Vesperia did better, but you should still check it out regardless. I can't really tell you much about the older titles as I haven't played them at all yet.

No, as in Toon Link doesn't HAVE the Master Sword at the end- Smash characters always draw from items during the adventure that a character might not have by the end. Link and Shulk are great examples of this.

Nice! However, I think he'll have little chance against Zer0. The only weakness Shiek has is that she can't kill until after 100% usually. Diddy Kong doesn't have that problem.
I'd be willing to place money on it even. Zer0 would win.

I still remember someone saying that & we're gonna get cut

was gonna replace

And all the brew ha-ha going around that & we're all gonna get cut out from the game as well.

Smash 5 speculation is gonna suck considering there's gonna be atleast 7 characters that would get cut out.

RIP . People are gonna want you gone
