I guess you have a point there, but if a character doesn't have their own stage they could have an advantage in a stage from their series, assuming everyone that appears at least gets one stage from their series not each individual
Hey, I saw those over at Nsider Forums!
Flint
Games: Mother 3 (GBA - 2006)
Bio: Your typical cowboy, Flint used to have the ideal life working as a rancher. He had a beautiful wife, Hinawa, two percocious youngsters named Claus and Lucas, and a faithful dog named Boney. At least, he did until the Pig Mask Army invaded the Nowhere Islands, and begin spreading their venomous influence across the land. Fires broke out in town, monsters went mad, and the natural wildlife was twisted by the sick experiments of the Pig Mask Army. While Flint and a team of townspeople were bravely trying to maintain the peace, word came in that there'd been a tragedy at the home of Hinawa's father, where she and the boys had been staying while Flint worked. Flint raced there, only to recieve the tragic news that Hinawa had been found dead, the tooth of a rebuilt beast lodged through her heart. In a rage, Flint went mad, attacking everyone near him until another villager laid him out cold with a wooden beam. He awoke to find himself in jail, and his son Lucas frantic over what to do. It seems little Claus had decided to get revenge, and decided to go after the beast himself. Flint broke out of jail, grabbed a few friends and headed for the beast's lair as fast as he could. There, he slayed the beast, but little Claus was nowhere to be found. As the years went by, the world changed but Flint didn't, and he hid himself away, still seeking revenge against the Pig Mask Army.
Tech: Flint relies on 2x4s, large pieces of lumber, to do the talking for him in most battles. He also has techniques that allow him to hit all enemies, or charge at one enemy with an attack that will either miss, or do astounding damage.

Lucas
Games: Mother 3 (GBA - 2006)
Bio: Lucas's story is equal parts heartbreaking and strange. It all began three years ago, with the arrival of the Pig Mask Army. Lucas soon found himself an only child as his brother was lost and presumed dead, and his mother was killed by a beast that the Pig Masks had experimented on. Dissatisfied with the world, Lucas first went with the flow, but soon he teamed up with the thief, Duster, the princess, Kumatora, and his faithful dog, Boney, in an effort to repel the efforts of the wicked Pig Mask Army. They soon found themselves meeting with the mystical Magypsies, an order of magical men dedicated to protecting those points of the world where energy spilled out like a fountain. They told Lucas that his only hope to match the power of the Army was to channel the energy into himself, but this task was not without problems. It seems an agent of the Pig Mask Army was also working to imbibe this energy himself, racing and beating Lucas's team to several of the 'needles' that sealed away the world's power. As Lucas and his friends delved deeper and deeper into their quest, they soon ran up against the Pig Mask Army and its creations, the greedy and utterly loathesome merchant Yokuba, and the horrible face behind all of this nightmare, Pokey Minch.
It seems Pokey was still enraged at being defeated by Ness, and escaped into a time in his Heavily Armored Craft. He seethed at the thought of a world where he couldn't win because he wasn't viewed as the hero. How was he expected to become powerful and respected when the world itself united against him? Thus, Pokey decided there was only one thing to do. He needed to travel, amass power, and reshape the world into one of his choosing. He'd sculpt every detail, making it so that he was the one people relied upon and came to recognize as the hero. His body, left twisted and frozen from the rigors of time travel, remained in a large mechanical device which allowed him to move and attack. He even went so far as to abduct Claus's body, bring him back to life, and brainwash him into being his loyal servant. In the end, Pokey's foolishness was his own undoing, allowing himself to be permanently sealed away inside of Dr.Andonut's Sphere from which nothing could escape.
All that was left was to undo what Pokey had done. Lucas and Claus faced off at the final needle of the world, and Claus attacked Lucas with an unseen viciousness, pummeling him with spells and weaponry while Lucas only held up his hands to fend off his brother's attacks. As the battle wore on, soon the voice of their mother, Hinawa, permeated their midsts, piercing through Claus's blanketed mind. Flint joined in as well, standing beside Lucas in battle as Claus finally broke free of Pokey's devilry and collapsed. With Kumatora, Duster, Flint, Boney and his brother Claus standing before him, Lucas finally pulled the final needle. With that gesture, he unleashed the hope in his heart that the world could still be a good place, free of the influences of Pokey Minch forever. The sky darkened, the earth shook, the seas spit fire and the clouds sent out tornadoes as the world was ripped apart and reordered, resorted, and restored back to how it once was, allowing everyone, except for Pokey Minch, a shot at pure, Pokey free life.
Tech: Lucas mainly fights with sticks and bats, but he's also got Psi powers common to the Earthbound/Mother series, including PK Special, PK Flash, Life Up, Healing, Refresh, Psycho Counter and more.

Well it's safe to say you don't know that much about the clones. Falco is totally different to Fox, Ganondorf is totally different to Captain, Pichu is totally different to Pikachu, and Young Link is moderately different to Link. Ganondorf will return, as will Falco, and I'm betting they will be harshly Luigified. I hate Pichu (well not "hate", but he's just a dumb concept for a character so "disapprove of") and he's leaving, Doctor Mario is exactly like Mario so he's gone, and Young Link is gone due to his lack of popularity. As for Roy... yea he's out because Marth rips him apart too hard. Roy can't even stand in Marth's shadow.
I believe the word is "promote". I know we've probly established the word, but whatever, just thought I'd toss my two cents in. I'm pretty good at vocabulary.
You realize there are lots of people who prefer Pichu over Pikachu right? I'm pretty sure there's more potential for Pichu having a new moveset than Doctor Mario. True Doctor Mario can be a costume, but there are lots of moves from the Pokemon game Pichu has the potential to use. Pichu wasn't a watered down version of Pikachu; he has a different playstyle. Therefore Pichu should stay if everyone else should. If Pichu gets taken out, some other characters should be taken out too.
Okay my own personal opinion is that all the charecters are different in some ways. Like Doc and regular mario, doc's cape is longer, he's a little slower, and his moves are not as effective as mario's.
You know, one of the Pichu trophies literally tells you that the best way to play him is to run, hide, and use any items that appear. How is that not watered-down?MEWTWOMASTER2002 said:
Nice idea, but I wonder how the casual crowd (the definite majority of players) would take that sort of thing.X-x-Dyce-x-X said:
Well, the thing is... let's just compare two moves here for me to get my point across. One's a meteor and one's a spike; DK's fAir being the meteor and Falco's dAir being the spike. (Even though I'm in love with Falco and couldn't live without his spike, I have to bite the bullet to make my point valid.)
Just because a trophy says it you think Pichu is weaker in every area? There are some points Pichu is better at. I probably play better with Pichu than with Pikachu. I couldn't beat a friend with Pikachu, yet I could with Pichu. Some of their attacks have different effects, and I'm pretty sure Pichu's upsmash is better than Pikachu's.
So how is Pichu better? If that Usmash thing is true, it's negligible. Pichu is, pure and simple, the worst clone in the game, in that none of his moves are different enough from his source character's attacks, and then there's the obvious (half his moves hurt himself, he's super-lightweight, etc.).MEWTWOMASTER2002 said:
