I understand; yeah, you can use 'em as placeholders
This is perfect! Exactly what I want!Thanks. I wouldn't be opposed to a Reddit post at all, but it might be better to wait just a little while longer until we have more to actually show off. SemiPsycho (my collaborator) has been creating a revamped model/rig for the character, so our best bet would be to wait until he's finished with that, and from there I can put together some better material for you to share on Reddit. I think it'd make much more of an impression than the outdated build seen in Ninten DS' Imgur album.
Speaking of Reddit...
I'm not sure if this has been posted here before, but some really talented Reddit user created an awesome 3D mock-up of Porky as a playable fighter, based primarily upon his EarthBound appearance. The "Cave of the Past" stage is only the cherry on top:

Truly astounding stuff. I've always been an advocate of Mother 3 Porky, but this design is ideal for Smash.
But Ness can say yes and no. He also talks in Smash
Even Itoi said how Porky grew to be like he is due to his parents, many people say Porky couldn't choose but to be like he is, but Picky is not that of an bad person like Porky, probably because Porky's older but that shouldn't mean much. Porky only had Ness, and when he lost him after he didn't say anything, and there's no evidence hinting to him saying anything, he simply didn't respond, and you can talk to Ness' younger self, but those are just memories not exactly him. Porky felt heartbroken, he didn't have anything besides Ness, he felt alone and so he felt hatred. Mother 3's Porky truly shows this by reading all of his dialogue, you can see how he was influenced by both Giygas and the loss of Ness as a friend. I feel bad for Porky, he has done many terrible things, but I can't help but like him a lot, sometimes I feel like Porky, he can be relatable too.
Porky may seem like Hes a wimp and a jerk but I do see some good in him.
Getting an earthbound remake would be impossible. But we can only dream of a 3d open world EB game hat could drive more story into it on console memory wise.
That could work very well with the recent Mario and Luigi games concept! After all, the description on Porky's trophy said we would need 2 more games to explain everything, that would be cool! But well, Itoi isn't making more Earthbound games so it's impossible unless they REALLY push the idea.
Porky is an egocentric child who got immense power to his will, letting him due whatever he wants. That's also the reason why I ADORE Porky as a villain, even though he's done such terrible things, he still has beloved things, like the Friend's Yo-yo in his room in Thunder Tower, the EB movie in the New Pork City theatre, Ness' favorite food (Beefsteak) being the most pricy item, etc... Many people hate Porky and it's understandable, and I'd hate him, but it's hard knowing everything he has gone through.
After Porky's dad beats him and Picky he's seen in the Happy Happyism cult, then as the president's partner and then with Giygas. What the **** does he even do to reach these things, I understand getting the time distorter, but how the **** did he first became the president's partner.
I assume it was most likely out of greed. He maybe told his dad that he’d become super rich and important and that suddenly made him the “favourite” son in his dad’s eyes for the first timeI think his parents went along with his plan or they were forced cause we see his dad in the building tower in fourside. Not sure if his brother or mom was there were they?
Who knows what porky did to get his dad to get involved with his intentions
I was going to say "but there are bosses", but thanks for reminding me of the Ridley fact, I used that argument a lot but lost faith on Porky when even more bosses like Dracula showed up. I fear that we're getting Masked Man while Porky will be a boss, but I just hope it's not like that, and now that I think about it, Giygas would be the best option for an Earthbound boss in Ultimate!
Why would you lose faith? Dracula is a third party character While Porky is a Nintendo character, Besides the Masked man isn’t a quarter known as much as Porky who’s basically the DIO of the Mother series besides IMO no more sword characters! the masked man uses a sword besides at the very least Porky's moveset would be WAY more unique
Sign me up for porky being in ultimate.
I just keep losing it knowing that at the max we can expect for Earthbound is a boss and new character and everyone's saying Ninten as an echo-fighter and people saying Masked Man would be better, although I NEVER believed that. Sure, Masked Man is one of the best bosses of the game but his personality is just nothing, he's a cyborg until the end of the game, there I actually saw something interesting in him, but during the game he's just a walking lifeless cyborg. Porky connects both Lucas' and Ness', he has major roles in Earthbound and Mother 3, BEING THE MAIN REASON FOR EVERYTHING TO HAPPEN IN MOTHER 3. People just say "oh I hate Porky he's a really bad person he shouldn't be in", and yes, I've heard that, but Porky is still such an interesting character! Bowser Jr. stole Porky's opportunity of being the first fighter in a mech, and I don't even know why Bowser Jr. was added or why was it necessary for him to be in the clown car but I'm not getting into that. But even so, with the mech being a spider-like-mech it would still be pretty unique and he would really stand out from the cast of villains, in my opinion Porky is one of the BEST and most deep villains in Nintendo history, of course I don't know every Nintendo villain but I still think Porky should shine among the rest.
I think the most obvious final Smash choice for him would be the King P Statue with it being, of course, a REALLY strong enemy and it appearing in the Subspace Emissary, but there's a lot of more creative choices! I thought that if they wanted to go with something simple, it could simply be a copy similar to PK Starstorm, with Porky ducking in the absolutely safe capsule and then an earthquake starts with meteors falling down from the sky portraying how Mother 3 ended after Lucas pulled the needle knowing that Porky was already inside the capsule, although Porky would next need to get out which wouldn't make much sense, but after all Porky shouldn't have even been in Brawl due to the capsule, so canon isn't a necessary thing in Smash Bros.
The villains theme and the Spirits Mode is the only amount of faith I have in Porky getting in the roster.
I always championed the idea that the Absolutely Safe Capsule should instead be his shield, similar to Yoshi's egg. The rolling animation would double as a reference to that scene with Dr. Andonuts after Porky "seals" his fate in Mother 3.
The transition from idle animation to ducking inside the capsule would look strange from my point of view, also knowing that the absolutely safe capsule is absolutely safe and it can't be broken, but again, Smash Bros. doesn't follow canon every time so it could work if they found a way to make the transition somehow natural.
That works 2!
No my dude, I meant that it could be some kind of copy, but not PK Starstorm, it should be like the end of Mother 3 when Lucas pulls the final needle, an earthquake starts and meteors start falling down, I could never imagine seeing Porky using PK abilities tho. His Mother 3 design would be the best one, and it'd be interesting to see a business suit alt for Mother 3's Porky!
Now that's a great idea! But of course, won't happen as we all expect, the only problem with that is that some moves wouldn't apply to Earthbound's spider-mech, like Porky's up tilt could be hitting with the mech's upper arms, but it could easily be replaced with using the glass on top. I wonder if we could get to work something like that when we actually finish Porky's PSA, we had a young Porky alt planned after all. Also, since it appears you're new, SemiPsycho and PigMaskColonel are working on a Porky Minch PSA! I only help with recolors and renders so I don't take that much of a role:
My bad dude though u were referring to give porky PK starstorm ablilites from Nesses PSI Inventories. I could Maybe see his ability attack be much like what u sayed about meteors faltering towards earth and includes a rendered cutscene similar to Bayonettas or falcons flyer attack.
Hearing that quote “Porky is my main” not just heating from yourself but from youtubers or streamers or competitive players would be wonderful. Tho some might not know what series he’s from eventually he would be a welcomed individual to the party rooster and fans alike would be attached to him.
