Wasn't Lyn the first international Lord?
If she wasn't important, why was she chosen among all the pokemons to be in smash bros?
*Smacks forehead* Oh yeah, you're partly right... I keep forgetting about the GBA games.
because it used to be popular? Japan likes cute puffy things. Although nobody likes it now.
Well, Sakurai has said himself, Jigglypuff was just mostly a joke character put into Smash as a bonus, but kept because she played nicely. She's not important, she's just been there a long time.
I liked lucario being in brawl, I don't like the idea of playing as a 5th gen piece of crap..unless it's as a pokemon trainer.
Well, they could fit diddy and dixie into one character like they did with pokemon trainer and zelda/sheik, it would be really great considering I and nearly everyone else despise diddy kong's moveset now.
I doubt they'll remove Pit. His appearance in Brawl is one of the reasons why nintendo is developing Kid Icarus Uprsing.
Yeah, the character select slots will be too small just like in MvC 2.
This is another subject where I would prefer a new director. Sakurai seemingly deprived us of Nook or an Animal Crosser because he viewed it as a non-violent series. He would probably view the Layton series in the same light. Which would be a big mistake. Anyone that has played through them knows that they are far from innocent childish puzzle games. There is quite a bit of violence especially in the end-game scenes. Layton has a sword fight in one game as has a pipefight in the movie. He is more than capable of fighting and the infamous "Layton Tweet" has to stand for something. If someone saw it as important enough to make that reference, then someone must also think he is deserving.
What specific aspect about Layton are you having some issues with?
The layton fanbase is huge. As expected with any new 2nd party Nintendo only franchise. It isn't just the puzzle gameplay though. The Layton games all have stories deserving of rpgs or something of that like.Haha
Well I have played one of his games, but it was very recently, and before that I had never heard of the franchise. I also didn't know it was Nintendo exclusive. It struck me as a very fun puzzle game when I did play it, however.
Seeing it brought up here puts no doubt in my mind that is has a fanbase. I'm just iffy about personifying the character of Layton in just a form as the 2-d sidescrolling style with the fluid movement and fighting and whatnot. Unless there were other games or sources I'm unaware of.
All of these debates really are pointless. The only characters that get in are the ones that the director wants to get in. Sakurai took Brawl as his chance to support his own series (kirby) by throwing in two new characters at once, while series like Metroid were once again neglected. No one can predict his actions. Just because a character is deserving or popular doesn't mean it is guaranteed. All we can go on are quotes from Sakurai himself at this point. Interviews suggest that he has thought about Isaac and Ridley since the release of Brawl, but nothing else has been mentioned. We don't even know if he will be the director of the next game and many people wish that he won't be (me for example).
If it were me, I would give him a single sword move, a block/counter type thing. Shielding their hit and knocking them away doing little to no damage. It would just be to get them away from you. The rest of his moveset would consist of inventions and such.
I think Tom Nook can represent the series the best of all choices. He has the most variety in move options and the most developed character concept. Animal crosser male and female are too generic and don't have a standalone personality. Resetti is always in the ground and complaining and is old and whatnot. He made a good assist trophy, and he can continue to do that job. K.K. Slider was second place for me but, besides guitar whacks his moves weren't too varied in my head. Nook just developed himself nicely.
Thats the plan. Most of his simple A moves would be defensive restrained punches/kicks. Smash attacks would be Luke, being an arrogant child, rushing in and hitting them. I can imagine his forward smash, being like Luigi's dash attack, just random punches with his eyes closed. Luke runs forward punching like that, and does one big punch right before Layton pulls him back by the collar. Down smash, Layton could do a spin kick like Mario, and Luke jumps into the air to dodge it. I think he should only use his sword for a parry or possibly a combo-like attack as one of his Special Moves. The other Special moves should be inventions.
I would take Nook or KK. The only real difference would be that KK would use his guitar while Nook would use the various tools.I think Tom Nook can represent the series the best of all choices. He has the most variety in move options and the most developed character concept. Animal crosser male and female are too generic and don't have a standalone personality. Resetti is always in the ground and complaining and is old and whatnot. He made a good assist trophy, and he can continue to do that job. K.K.

Lololol shovel smack
