"Dr. Mario was added to represent puzzle games!"

lol what

He was put into Melee late in development because they had extra time and decided to use it to make the roster larger. He wasn't even planned for the roster initially. It has nothing to do with genres, it has to do with him being a quick and easy clone character to add.

The same goes for SSB4. He was added in late in development due to the differences he had with regular Mario in Melee. He was supposed to be a costume like Alph and the Koopalings.
And on the top of that, there has been no puzzle elements being used on Dr. Mario at all. The closest they get is just his throwing pills... and even then that is still far from representing anything since it was just a reskinned fireball attack. There's not even a stage dedicated to his game.

I mean, if Dr. Mario is suppose to be a representation for puzzle games then they did the worst possible job at representing them as there is literally nothing being represented other than the character himself who doesn't even take advantage of the genre.

I think Nester has a small chance of getting in, but not a Corey Baxter chance.

The grand majority of Smash characters aren't meant to represent anything but the series they came from.

There's no secret hidden motive behind everyone's addition. If Dr. Mario was meant to represent puzzle games as a whole, I don't think he'd be a last minute addition to both of the games he was playable in, and Brawl cut.
His moveset would also probably be based upon, you know, puzzle mechanics.

if you think more deeply you will find out that he is the only playable character in smash that was "originally" created in puzzel game.
Uhhh.....so what?

There is literally nothing to suggest they went out of their way to get a character to represent each genre of gaming.

they picked someone random and easy to make but at least Dr. Mario was something special in Nintendo history even if they didnt say it.
"I think he could represent puzzle games" =/= "He was picked to represent puzzle games".

There's no genre representation. There's nothing to suggest that sort of thing is a factor at all.

Nintendo doesn't have a dating sim. FE doesn't count considering S-Supports are just "We have a wacky adventures or similar likes, let's have babies"
1 like=1 prayer
1 share=0,05$
1ignore=Satan
Pleaz halp

We need a Nintendo dating sim right now then

Why is this thread always talking about dumb things like memes and FE boobs?
And also arguing with a kid who always has bad arguments and doesn't understand?

Sorry if that sounds offensive, but it's the truth.

I know this is a social, but ugh, you should talk about videogames you like, or something that happened in your day, I don't know... not OMG lel Sanic, Anna's boobs, WarioXShrek and John Cena.

Imagine it's fake and you'll be better. Waiting too much leads to deception, especially if the cause is a rumor.
But if you want a video to keep waiting, here you go :

Ganondorf actually starred in a little known Korean E-Shop exclusive called "A Walk In Gerudo Desert with Ganny." He was added primarily as a walking sim rep. This is made even more amazing by the fact that he was added before the E-shop existed.

The memes are bad but I'll take them over what we experienced 4 days ago where it was mass hysteria over a rumor. Or another Geno argument. We have no news, you can help us fix that, just sayin

Star Hill. Why do you ask?

You shouldn't use the word "always" because I am not always wrong also I try my best to understand what people trying to tell me (google translate doesn't always help me) but my English is bad so I don't always use the right word when I say something.
