Oops, I responded to the wrong guy. Sorry. But, FYI, what I said was not relevant to you, but it certainly edid make sense from the context of who I was trying to respond to.
I've actually wanted him unlockable this time around, so I'm happy I got that
For the most part yes, it is "Major Leagues". But explain to me why Wii Fit Trainer would fit in Smash? No one would have ever made a support thread for her in a million years yet here she/he is. Nintendo/Sakurai has proven anyone is fair game and they even managed to make a fun move set with trainer, so who's to say Waluigi can't be in too? You can say he would be a wasted slot but then I'd save that complaint for the huge number of clones we have in this game. Waluigi would be nowhere near clone.
Because she represents a massively successful wii game, waluigi means nothing in the mario series
Smash isn't just for the smash community, it's like a celebration of nintendo as a whole, like it or not wii fit is part of that
I understand that, It's just I don't see how having Waluigi in Smash Bros. would be so unfitting. He isn't a standalone mascot with his own game series but he is a good representation of the Mario franchise as whole. He is becoming more and more popular and I have no doubt will be in a major title outside of party games in the near future. Anyway he's not in this Smash. Just gotta wait for Smash 5 I suppose...*sigh*
there series both lost reps..... Confirmed.
Baby Bowser isn't playable this time around, if it helps.
Son of a *****, that is Smashville. o_O
Yes, Smash is for the major leagues in the game, yet half these newcomers don't qualify, heck just who the hell even knows who Shulk, Lucina, Ike, and Palutena are? I mean yeah they're well known to their own fans despite them being small franchises but Waluigi has been in just about every Mario party and Sports game, he means more to Nintendo then they do. I'd rather have him especially over Wii Fit Trainer, Duck Hunt Dog and yes I'll say it, Rosalina, not to mention he's been around longer than she has and deserves more attention.
Waluigi does not mean more to Nintendo than those other characters you named. Just because the Mario franchise does, that doesn't mean Waluigi does. It's not like he's a representative of Mario party and sports games, he's just one of the many characters, and isn't any more important than Koopa Troopa and Toadette. Rosalina and Bowser Jr. have actually had important roles in mainline Mario games. And Shulk, Lucina, Ike and Palutena have also had important roles in their respective games. The fact that Waluigi is even an assist trophy is an achievement.
Let's see now,
Waluigi merely appears as roster filler in Mario spin-off games, simple as that. Mario games of this kind have been known for trying to dig out every possible character from the mario universe including Boos, Koopas, etc. and it's related franchises just to fill up the spaces of the character selection screen, so Waluigi is really not that big of a deal. His status as and Assist Trophy is perfectly fine.
Well, I wouldn't say Dark Pit is quite major league, considering he's really just a swap for Pit. Also, I wouldn't say never when it comes to Nintendo characters getting into Smash. With Sakurai anything is possible.
I'd go as far to say even Toon Link is a semi clone. Different model all together ie size & weight are much different, not just small tweaks like the 3 clones. Like seriously that's have as may as we had in Melee. 3 out of 51, ZOMG TOO MANY CLONEZ!
It mainly has to do with the fear of these clones being better than the originals. For instance, Lucina is a Marth that doesn't have to rely on a tipper for KO's which makes her a better character overall. For dedicated Marth mains, that's rough. Or Toon Link vs Link in Brawl.
Exactly....Who we consider "Major League" or just a filler character is nothing more than personal opinion and which fan base we belong to. What we consider logic and deserving, well if Sakurai actually read this stuff he would probably laugh and still make the Smash roster the way he sees fit. I'm obviously biased because besides DK and Star Fox series I like just about everything Mario and want more characters from that franchise. Wario is also a favorite so seeing how Waluigi is his brother I'm obviously gonna support him pretty hard regardless on how many "Party Games" he's been in. At least I can say he wouldn't be a clone and has potential to be in any Mario game including Smash.
