So what would you say would be Dixie's playstyle and primary strategy?
That is not how it works. Data from the disk shows that mewtwo was very much planned for the game. Like Roy, Mewtwo also has a unique fanfare. His file also has attack effects, a picture for classic and a sound for his final smash. It shows that he was likely planned, but cut later (more likely to add Sonic).
It has nothing to do with the April fools joke and more to do with the factbthat people always wanted Sonic vs Mario. It doesn't mean Mewtwo wont be in the next game.
Most Golden Sun fans don't like Dark Dawn much and the first game is the most successful.
People want them because they would like more characters from other series. There is nothing wrong with that. And more specifically, they want Ridley and Goroh. These are good characters and would make good additions to the game. Diversity never hurt, and Sakurai has said he does not waht to add from just the popular series.
Your way over thinking this. Issac was just the more popular character and the main character of the series.
Fixed. It had around 6 months of delay already [which was starting to hurt the hype], so, unfortunately, they cut Roy and Mewtwo, aswell as Dr. Mario, Young Link, Toon Zelda, Toon Shiek, and Dixie Kong at a point earlier on. All of which are implied to be clones (except for maybe Dixie), we also lost about 20 songs due to the endtime rushing, including Ballad of the Windfish, Saria's Song [an old Brawl site picture showed this as an alternate tune for Temple, why it was cut at that point, I have no clue], a Yoshi's Cookie song, and a Stunt Race FX song. (Not to mention unique fanfares too.)
You're kidding, right? Do you know how much the fanbase would rage if one of the most popular new introductions in Smash history was cut?
I agree completely with you about Palutena, but if we think it a bit more, Medusa is a good option as a character. She is the main antagonist of all Kid Icarus series(also considering Uprising), and her moveset would be stat-changer.
Actually, in the two games released so far, both of them had unrelated antagonists, Orcos was the antagonist of the other game, heck, Medusa wasn't even in the 2nd game.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Young Link was more popular than Toon Link in the "kid Link" Zelda games. I remember seeing many threads and posts about supporting this "Mask Link" from Majora's Mask and claiming that "Wind Waker Link" wouldn't fit the style of the game because he is cel-shaded and the game uses realistic graphics. Not to mention that more Zelda fans loved Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask and hated The Wind Waker for its cel-shaded graphcis among other issues. And what happened? We got Toon Link from The Wind Waker, not Young Link from Majora's Mask, in Brawl. Really, objectively speaking, adding Toon Link made more sense than keeping Young Link.
Brawl had 39 characters, Marvel vs Capcom 2 had 56 and it came out in 2000, there's plenty of room for new faces and old ones alike.
Sonic's and Mewtwo's scenarios are not that related, and bashing people that wanted Sonic in Brawl gets us nowhere.
There is a difference between making room for more content and cutting the most highly requested and popular third party character. If there are no legal or financial reasons to remove him the developers more then likely will not.
Stage discussions usually die within a couple of posts because, let's face it, people don't buy the Smash games for the stages. They can be fun but they're not something that make you stay up until 4 in the morning to see if they were included or make you say "Oh my God, I can't believe they added *insert stage here.* I'm totally buying this game now!" The Smash developers really haven't made too many bad stages so most people trust them with whatever they plan to add in the next game.
It's confirmed to be the random box
They'll likely come back. Sakurai has a tendency to keep content he created, even if he can't get it in that game. That's why we have the Final Smashes, made back in 64, and Dedede, who took three games to get in.
What the hell are you talking about. There is no separate "kid Link," series. They are all Zelda games. Young Link only made it in because of clone and they just changed him into Toon Link who is the exact same character. You are way over thinking this.
No, the fan base is Golden Sun. There was already a fanbase, one that really doesn't care for Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. Issac is the more popular characters. Simple as that.
No, there is very much a legal issue, seeing as they don't own Sonic or Snake. The question in terms of legality is whether or not they'll get the rights again, and how did they get them in the first place.
Really, Smashchu, do you believe I'm that ignorant? What you said is exactly what I meant by legality, but apparently I did not explain it well enough since you could not infer my point.
I looked better offline. Plus I needed something that wasn't blue or red.
Yes.
Heavy tilting wouldn't end well. We all know that.
Stage rage time? If you insist.
A lot of the things that could be mentioned would be very technical, namely frames, knockback, etc.
Nope, just read it wrong. My bad
Just to let you know, this is not the first time a game has done this. Soul Caliber is all about adding characters from other properties. Tekken has done it too. And naturally, those characters get removed because they are guest, not staples of the series. Silly as it seems, people don't think about other games that do this. They assume they'll be kept because "people like them." People liked Link too in Soul Caliber 2.
Good point, I didn't consider that. As long as we don't have more info about "Uprising", we can´t consider Medusa as a character.
It really depends on the mechanics on SSB4 for the little things like changes in knockback, hit box size, etc. As for the movesets of the characters, I'm largely satisfied with what they currently have aside from a few characters' final smashes. For starters, I think every character should have their own final smash. As for changes in the current final smashes:
Sonic has a S Tier Final Smash. Not even Meta-Knight's rank in tournaments can top this. When Sonic activates his Final Smash, you're just F|_|CK3D !
That would be great, because I always have trouble in that detail. Sometimes, I can´t reach to my opponent.
All the problems associated with Sonic's moveset probably stem from the fact that he wasn't even added into the game until the Summer of 2007, more than a year after the other characters were finished and only about three months before Brawl finished development. He was pretty much a rush job to meet fan demand.
^ Pretty much this. Also, considering Sonic doesn't have much to work with in the way of attacks and moves, and the fact Nintendo had to use Sonic The Fighters as a reference only showed what little imagination they had for his moveset.
I was unaware Miyamoto even gave Sakurai that kind of advice. Even so, I do agree that the multiplayer is the most important aspect of a Smash Bros. game, as everything else (Subspace Emissary, Homerun Contest, etc.) are throw-aways that many people care nothing about.
So what? Video Games like this sould NEVER, EVER be played alone?
It's not that they shouldn't be played alone, it's that games like Smash Bros. are games that are meant for multiplayer, or at the very least, the multiplayer aspect is heavily looked into than any other aspect of the game.
