K. Rool is part of the DK universe, but seeing as that universe is also part of the Mario universe, it's understandable how he got into a Mario spin-off title like Mario Super Sluggers. Same thing goes for Yoshi and Wario too since although they have their own universes, they too are part of the Mario universe.
How elitist. As it stands, if another Smash game were to be made here and now, it is much more likely that Micaiah would get in, and K.Rool wouldn't, and the reasons for that should be obvious to you now. (unless you're just trying to shut them out of your head) There's no where to go with the Dixie argument because its clear from the begining that she has higher priority, at leat in any Smash game Sakurai makes. K.Rool isn't popular, and for the most part, neither is Dixie. The word is getting way to overused. Mario is popular. Pikachu is popular. K.Rool isn't. People who play the DKC games don't play them for K.Rool. They can play them for Dixie, because they play as her, but they can't for K.Rool, who's just another generic bad guy who shows up at the end. Getting into Mario spin offs shows that the character's existance is known by Nintendo. It shows that the character is expanded, and that the repeated use means the character went over well. As I've stated before, every time Dixie has shown up for a non Smash game, she's been playable. Nintendo likes the little ape, and the fact that she had programing in Brawl strengthen this theory.
There's no doubt in anyone's mind that Dixie was in the coding, and K.Rool wasn't. She wasn't part of Diddy in the sense that the Popo is with Nana, due to the Plusle and Minum thing, so she almost certainly had her own moveset worked in there. Its possible that she was programmed in as a partner for Diddy like Toon Zelda and Toon Sheik were likely partnered, and by no means would that be a injustice, since the DKC games which you lust over so much use a tag team system. Heck, saying things are "an injustice" is down right silly. There's no deluded sense of honor in the selection of rosters. There is just what makes the most sense.
The Ice Climbers are about the least generic character in Smash. Certainly more unique than any new addition in Melee. They fight in tandum, which is a different fighting style that no one else has. How is that generic? K.Rool can't do anything like that. If you mean their personalities, then its like calling Mr. G&W, or R.O.B. generic. The may not have real personalities, but at least they are not dull retreads of the Saturday morning cartoon villain's, like K. Rool.
1)Michiah is not popular at all so it shouldn't even be comparable.
This idea is probably wrong since Sakurai said the reason they both aren't in there is becuase he couldn't get it to work.
It sounds needlessly complicated, honestly. Just let the player select three (or however many characters are in each Tag Team match) characters in order, which are then compiled in the character box, layered on top of one another.
Are you just going by the results of that one little poll?
Actually, Chief, that's exactly how it would work, sorry if maybe it wasn't too clear. What exactly would happen when a character switches in the middle of a battle?
Of numerous polls. King K. Rool has done pretty well. He's also pretty popular in Japan, but I'm going to look more into popular Japanese characters.
...You mean Sakurai's poll? If so, FE10 hadn't come out in Japan at that time. (In fact, neither had LoZ: TP I think, otherwise there would have been some votes for Midna)
Sakurai's made comments about the cut characters? I'd like to see that. Every time you see a interview with him, he talks about how he can't talk about who was cut.
pshh.........Gary before that old manstill reckon prof oak for ssbb4
But what if someone wants to taunt?
*sigh*
It was on Brawl central somewhere.
I had a long post typed it, then it got deleted, really frustrating. Anyway, sorry to sound like an elitist, but you've sort of popped a nerve here, you've managed to get me in a pretty bad mood. Of course I'm assuming the next Smash will be in the distant future, there's no way it's going to happen now. The BARE MINIMUM I'd assume would be four years before another smash is announced. In this time, another FE WILL be released, -most probably- in a new region that is not tellius. The lords from the game will get a fan following, and this severely hurts Miciah's chances. If Miciah is so popular, why wasn't she the assist trophy in Brawl over Lyn? Lyn got her assist trophy spot solely based off popularity. Miciah also has to compete with Sigurd and Roy for the third FE slot, who aren't popular solely because of their game being new and them being female.
Nobody's picking up the DKC games for the characters/story, they're doing it for gameplay. K. Rool has just as much of ability to impact sales as Dixie despite not being playable. When you first pick up the game, you might like Dixie's animations and such, but you'll eventually get over them after you see them by the thousandath time, much less at the final boss. In the final boss, you aren't paying attention to your character, you're paying attention to that deadly kremling king who can kill you in two hits with ease.
You snuck in before I edited.But what if someone wants to taunt?
Also, frequent tagging sounds like an obnoxious tactic. Would there be something to remedy this?
Go back and read it again now, and see if that fixes things up.
Gotcha now.You snuck in before I edited.
More than two button presses to do something in Smash?
I like the glowing stock markers idea. Would definitely work. And really, the switch would affect all players, since this is a 2 vs. 2 idea, so it's a 1 vs. 1 battle that's taking place, so either character changing affects everybody. Heck, even if this were a single-player one, fighting against a new character affects everyone.
She's wasn't a AT, because it was impossible for her to be a AT. FE10 came out too late. In fact, nearly all the Wii generation game that came out before Brawl were barely reprented, outsid of TP, and that was a launch game. Sigurd is no competition and neither is Roy. One is basically another blue haired sword weilding FE character, while the other just plain isn't going to show up again, due to various fun reasons. The phantom hypothetical character of the next FE game is a worse contender than them, mostly because they could easily have the biggest pro on their side, marketing pottential
DKC4? Hah. That's a good one. You're saying that its next to impossible that the next FE game is in Tellius, but say there's a possible chance of DKC4? That's rich.
He doesn't. People don't buy a game for a generic bad guy who makes a few appearances before you beat him up. They buy it for the stars. While Dixie was probably not a driving force in anyone's purchase of DKC2, she clearly tested well, and got her name in the title of the next one. And I don't think people pay attention like that when playing a game.
It also basically said he was generic too. (And that was back in Melee's day. Heck, if you look at Brawl's trophy, you'll notice how little it was cared for, and how it messes up its facts.
Well, I meant immediate-damage wise for the "affecting everyone" thing. Maybe a quick Zelda-like transformation would work best.
*GASP* Say it isn't so!More than two button presses to do something in Smash?
Maybe, but something just seems weird about that to me. Snake disappears in a bright glowing light, and out comes... Jigglypuff??? And if that exact animation is used, imagine playing against someone who uses Zelda. You don't know if Sheik or King Dedede is coming out of that portal.
Custom Robo wins. No questions asked. Even the supposedly "crappy" GameCube game was good. At least, I thought so. It was the only one I played, though.
Ya siriusly...
It wouldn't need to look exactly like Zelda's (or have the sound effect) (is there a sound effect?). Fine, maybe it'd look like a Pokemon Change, minus the Pokeball (Smash Ball!).
I know I'm probably not going to convince the guy, but there's nothing that he's come up with that debunks what I've been saying, so
but megaman has to have his classic side aswell(even if its an alt.costume)
I know pretty much next to nothing when it comes down to actual Mega Man gameplay, but having a character with the ability to "switch modes" sounds verrrry cool (and original!).
That's not being sexist. And did you not read the rest of Pieman's description of the current Smash females?
