Look at Big Hero 6 and answer me this. Where is Spiderman? Admit it, a world with Marvel superheroes would simply be...Marvelous
It has Stan Lee in it. It's more Marvel than Fant4stic.

Also some other news regarding Mario Maker:

Silver Mario Amiibo = Silver Mario.
Safe to assume that Gold Mario amiibo = Gold Mario

Also important news, we are getting closer to October 3rd which is the end of submitting characters to the ballot. I want the polls to end by September 3rd so people are given a lot of time to finish all polls, so I want to ask you this, how many characters should I do per day? The one with the highest votes will be the number I do for each day.

Please answer here:

No
No
No
Indifferent
Yes

I say do 8. It doesn't take too long to vote, so this would help speed things up.

For fun, I tried to find a mashup of Knuckles' theme and the DK Rap. Because why not.

I found... this:


Well, at least I got what I wanted.

That was never really Little Mac, anyway. No where in Super Punch-Out is the protagonist referred to as Little Mac. If EA wanted to use Little Mac, they should have used Little Mac... whose design was more well known, anyway.
That was before Next Levels Games that wasn't him. Nintendo never disconfirmed that Birdie (is what we gonna call blonde Trunks here) isn't Little Mac at the time and NOA did the same thing as well.


Punch Out Wii verified alot things considering it's a reboot

If you guys can tolerate 8 characters a day while giving in-depth thoughts on the character and researching, that would be good.
I can't give in-depth responses for whether or not I want a character even when there's just four. It's always "Yes, because I like this character" or "No, because I either don't like this character, think the series they're from is overrepped, or I don't think they belong in Smash".

I can go on and on about a character's chances and all that, but when it comes to 100% opinion-based stuff, I'm extremely boring and generic. "I want Wolf because I like him", "I don't want Anna because we don't need anymore Fire Emblem characters in this game". :laugh:

When the game came out on Super Nintendo I played it... and even then I didn't think it was the same character as in the NES game.

Maybe it's just me, though.

One question I do have though, is how much experience do you have in competitive Smash as a player and not as a spectator?
Not a significant amount, but I've spectated and analyzed things for many years.

Indifferent to everyone of today's characters.

As for that last question, I picked six, but I'd be fine with eight.

I'm late on this because my internet stopped working for a few hours, but the Geno thing in P:M probably could've at least been identified as suspicious since we already know the characters in development. We've seen a Sami model, we know Knuckles and Lyn are to be playable, and somebody who had access to assets that ended up in 3.5/3.6 showed Gifs of Isaac movements.

His claim was that Skull Kid was a lie and that Ridley was a big maybe for 5th character, but who knows how credible that was.

Thing is you're probably right but it due to him having no name plus jarring as hell when it comes to how both Little Mac designs are

You can if you want, it would be something of an appreciation. :)
Well, I don't think my in-depth thoughts would really be necessary for most of the characters since I've voted yes to very few of them to be honest. Only the ones that I feel are truly important to me. Besides, I've rated in the RTC DLC edition everyday thus far, so my thoughts on most of the important characters on your polls should be in there somewhere.

Sami was reportedly scrapped, if I recall correctly.

ChronoBound was working a while back to try and get them to use her.

As far as I remember, it was the model that was scrapped because it was leaked. I don't remember the entire character getting scrapped. Something about that might've been mentioned in the big 4chan post that had assets, I'd need to dig it up.

I finished Danganronpa and
Why do characters only get characterization or development when they die?
Chihiro is best husbando
Ohgami is best character
Genocider Syo is the serial killer who didn't actually kill anyone
Kirigiri is as edgy as Homura
You actually feel bad for most murderers
**** Junko tho
And Oowada can suck a ****
How's everyone going?

You ever seen Beta footage of Super Punch-Out?

I remember pics of it from gaming mags before the game came out, lol.

I don't see why they'd scrap the model but not the character.

Sami was leaked, period. Her presence wouldn't be a surprise anymore regardless of whether or not they use Vaanrose's model.

You see, if this were the design they went with, I don't think there would even be a debate about whether or not it's Mac. Because that looks like Little Mac.

Yeah, I'm not sure what the reason for the change was. If I had to guess, though, it might be because Punch-Out is bigger in the states then in Japan, so they wanted to go with something less anime looking. It's an inferior design all around, in my opinion.

Bah, I can't find the 4chan post :/ I can only find the Isaac assets. But I know for sure that it's real because it had Bowser's Castle assets leaked along with it.

Skull Kid being a lie wouldn't be surprising. I don't know how they'd manage to make him a character since the PM Dev team is limited in capacity and he doesn't seem to be derivative at all.

I knew about for a long while. Remember, biggest Punch Out fan on the social.

Thing is he looks closer to both Macs but he's actually has more anime and Japanese features on him

I believe the change in design was due to appeal for US audiences. Remember Super Punch Out never got a offical release in Japan, ever until VC re-releases.

Japan never got a full commercial release for the series until the Wii game which bombed in Japan due it's following not being strong there AT ALL

It's kinda strange though, since the final design still looks like it was ripped right out of Dragon Ball Z lol.

It'd be funny if (or when) we get another Punch-Out game, they use the SPO design just to confuse people even more.

I think the anime was on a budget which led to only 13 episodes and limited/rushed character development. The game goes into way more depth regarding each character during their free time events where you learn more info about there past and personality. The manga also goes more in depth I believe.

If they do, they'll just confirmed it's not Little Mac and either do two things

  • Have him be like a Player 2 to Mac's Player 1
  • Have Blondie fight Mac as a hidden fight to push the point futher

It's possible that the model had other problems in addition to being leaked...
Like not...looking that much like Sami...

yeah, I know that, but Junko had no positive qualities(this is what her whole character is about) and her sister probably doesn't get much since the time she's alive she's impersonating Junko)
Oowada is because he killed Chihiro, seriously, **** Oowada
Still, I should probably read at least the mangas
Probably something more to Ishimaru and Yamada

KHI and KH2 essentially completes the whole story of the movie, I don't know what Square Enix can do with continuing the story of Nightmare Before Christmas. What kind of thing would they be up to after they saved Christmas in KHII.
Haven't they completed Aladdin like 9000 times?

There's still the King of Thieves plot (The third movie of Aladdin) they haven't done if I recall.
There still more to explore with that, and it's why I think Agrabah will appear again.
