Yes. It is called Hero's Bow. There wasn't that many items in TWW. I mean, yes, he could have had the Deku Leaf and the Skull Hammer. But that's it. The rest were mainly bait or the same items the adult Link would use in OOT or TP and there was one item that functioned the same as Nayru's Love. At least Link swapped his Boomerang for the Gale Boomerang so both Links got different boomerangs now.
Ganondorf being even a semi-clone of Captain Falcon is more outrageous that Toon Link being an almost complete clone of Link.
Ahh, but who was chosen to represent the Castlevania series in the Smash Bros. style game, Dream Mix TV World Fighters? Simon Belmont, not Alucard.
Not trying to start a debate or anything, but against which game is every other new Castlevania game released compared? SotN like 2 out of 3 times.
So the problem with Ganondorf is that his palette choice was Capt Falcon? Not to sound rude, but did anyone even play melee? Ganon and Falcon are so vastly different, it's not even funny. The only strategy they share, is the thunderspike, which is an epic move for anyone. Ganon hits hard, one time, and falcon hits many times with combos and the like. Ganon was bless with a stronger recovery than Falcon, while falcon was given speed. They are very different.
You cant compare the changes ganondorf has thru to the changes luigi has gone thru. I wouldnt consider luigi a clone. Him and mario have a few of the same moves because for a while all luigi was, was a pallete swap of mario. Luigi has some wiggle room when it comes to this. I dont recall Ganondorf ever being a pallete swap for falcon. I think we will be satisfied when something actually changes for ganon
First off When did I say "You can't" and second of all I was not addressing you specifically, I was addressing "The Masses".
Judging from what Sakurai has stated in the past, the whole process of developing third party characters is very challenging. Beyond the legal limbo alone you are attempting to represent a famous and completely foreign franchise all in one character, stage, and multiple tracks. There is so much history to try and cram into one "box", Sakurai has said it is more difficult then attempting to build a game from the ground up (though that might just be hyperbole). Nintendo opened the door for other characters to be added but no one came through outside of Sega. Sonic the Hedgehog is pretty much guaranteed to return in any future game, Solid Snake is iffy, if for no other reason than that Konami might want to switch to the Castlevania series. Who knows, maybe there could be both?
Do you think Sakurai just didnt want the inclusion of third parties? And do you think once he resigns from doing the smash bros series nintendo will be more willing to jump through the legal "hoops" in search of third party contenders? Unfortunetly we dont truely know if anyone else has been or has ever asked nintendo for a spot in the smash games simply because its not reported. And the fact that nintendo, being the little rascals that they are, are great at keeping things hidden under wraps. Im mean look at pkmn black & white, its due out in like five months! In Japan.
Simon's also been in the MSX2 game, the Sharp X68000 or whatever game, and Chronicles on PS1. And apparently he's been like 10 other Konami games, usually as the only Castlevania character (the only other one who seems to show up is Drac). Even the Judgment cover art is pretty clear with pointing out Simon as the face of the series.
Adding Alucard just because SoTN is all IGA knows how to do doesn't make sense. Adding him because he's popular, sure. Even then he wouldn't come before Simon.Which is why I said I would hope that fate would smile on me and give me two characters for Castlevania just as FE gets two characters
He hasn't made a real appearance on a Nintendo system yet, otherwise he'd definitely be SE's guy.
You've missed the point entirely. Nobody is denying that Ganondorf played a different game to Falcon in Melee (and indeed in Brawl), but what does that have to do with sharing almost the exact same moveset? There can be no justification for taking one of Nintendo's biggest villains and basically saying "uh, let's just reskin this totally unrelated character and tweak his attributes". It's sheer laziness.
Err, what?
)Honestly, if Ganondorf hadn't been a clone of Falcon in Melee, but still fought unarmed, I don't think anyone would be talking about revamping his moveset to incorporate a sword.
Ftilt, dtilt and usmash are all unique to Ganon. Dair also has a slightly different animation. (Actually, if you look closely even the most obvious cloned attacks have subtle differences)
That's pretty much what I want as well. I think incorporating a sword into his current fighting style is still viable, but were he to remain a fist fighter I'd have no issues whatsoever. I just think he has more potential whichever way you look at it.
1) GANNON-BANNED
I knew about the FAir, but I didn't recall if the others were different or not.
The thing is, its increadibly possible that sakurai will not be the leader in the]creation of SSB4. And if Sakurai was didnt like the idea of third parties, which it sounds like he didnt, then its possible that we will see two new third party franchises.
