Not at all. The saturation is higher, that's about it. Everything about this Link is directly taken from Twilight Princess. All his items: bow, sword, bombs, boomerang, shield, and his clothing: tunic, gauntlets, straps. Even his hair style is from TP. There is literally nothing about his design that you could say came from Skyward Sword that wasn't already present in his TP design.
If that's what you feel, man. Go for it. Guess we can agree to disagree.
My bad thought it was confirmed to tie in together.
exactly. If it was truly a Skyward Sword/ Twilight Princess Hybid, they would hae brought in SS's baggy pants. Or his eyes
I'm HOPING they're the other avatar character models, but I'm not holding my breath on it since that would likely change the hitboxes (unlike other costumes we've seen that keep the same dimensions).
Ugh, so many people post this and it is so aggravating. People just assume that Dr. Mario was chosen over Mewtwo to return, and that isn't the case at all. All of the clones seem to share the same backstory, they were all alts that were sufficiently different looking enough to warrant them getting some form of move differentiation so that they could occupy the same spot. If Mewtwo isn't in the game it has no correlation to Dr. Mario's inclusion and honestly shouldn't be a cause for anger.
To be fair, it does not have to do with "how he feels." It is objectively true. If you disagree, that is your prerogative, but there is nothing to support your perspective.
It's not an opinion. If you have proof otherwise, please explain.
It just visually looks that way to me.
My theory on the S. Spirits is, that they DID plan to make the chorus men a character, but then couldn't due to some technical problems maybe. But at the same time, the people who made the Smash run enemies already completed the Spirits, so they just decided to leave them in there. Remember that there are different teams working on different aspects of the game simultaniously.
Read this please, second post:
After reading the Ridley thread and seeing the video, I still think Ridley is a stage boss. Yes, there's a lot of strong arguments to support him being playable, but all of it, from the Trophy Quiz to "why wouldn't they outright confirm or deconfirm him" is fan speculation at best, whereas the April 8 Direct is game footage directly from Nintendo. Speaking of the Trophy Quiz, that speculation seems to have already been debunked, as we have not seen a new LoZ character, as many thought was hinted from Fi's trophy. Ghirahim got Assist Trophy'd, and Ganon isn't new, Demise is too similar to Ganon, and at best would be an alt to Ganon, and the Impa leak was proven fake due to a math error, so who else could it be? Tingle? The Alfonso argument I find unreliable. Because a background character is replaced with someone else when that character is being played on one stage, that means the same would happen to a stage boss on another stage? Toon Link was already in Brawl, so they had to do something to avoid there being 2 Toon Links on that stage. The only non-speculation argument I've seen is "the size argument is bs," as some characters HAVE been resized for Smash Bros.
But it doesn't. Like I said, his saturation is higher, like most characters in this version of smash brothers. So that may lead you to believe he was some sort of fusion of two links. But if you really compare it to Twilight Princess Link, you'll see that it's the same design.
I haven't played Fire Emblem so I may be ignorant here but I think that the Villager is just a special case since in AC there are a bunch of different looks to both the males sand females. We've already seen WFT Male and Female share a green/black palette swap for their clothing from the E3 demo so I think other characters who have a male/female counterpart will work like that. I just got here and saw this post so I wanted to reply, sorry if you guys were discussing this already.
I agree with this sentiment, the clones were intended to be costumes based on a preponderance of the evidence. However, you do not understand why everyone wants one of the most prominent Pokemon to return? You do not have to like the character to understand why they should return.
Honestly, you're right. I do understand why people want him back, I should have used a different wording. What I mean to say is that I don't share the desire for Mewtwo as many people do. I just never enjoyed playing him in Melee.
It looks like HD Twilight Princess to me.
I think it's the general hostility of the statement that they're taking exception to, not the notion that people want Mewtwo. That's at least where I am on it. You can be sad that Mewtwo is not in, but don't ignore well-established facts about the development to create a fiction where Sakurai made a conscious decision to choose another character over Mewtwo purely because he felt like it. If Mewtwo was planned but didn't make it, there was likely a design, programming, or time limitation of some kind.
Robin is an avatar character in Fire Emblem Awakening. They're a custom character with about 24 custom models and 12 different hair colors.
The same applies to Robin as she is an avatar character, there are about five different hair/face types per body type. There are three body types. So in the same vein as Villager, there are multiple combinations that result in drastically different appearances. Albeit, the face changes are typically more subtle, if anything, they would probably animate different hair. The could choose three out of fifteen (fourteen as default is already confirmed) for each gender.
They definitely aren't gonna use the 2 other body types that's for certain.
The model in Smash has similarities to Twilight Princess, but I feel it's mainly the face that has vibes from Skyword Sword in it. Anyways, does this really matter that much? We aren't going to change each others views, so this is a "go no where" conversation. Besides, this seems kinda off topic when looking at the thread name.
I could see them bringing back Squirtle and Ivysaur as DLC.
Squirtle and Ivy need to gtfo. We already have MORE than enough first gen rep in ssb
I see your point in the main game, but if it is DLC you don't have to get them so I don't see how it would offend anyone.
You're not wrong, but a whole game has come and passed for people to to get accustomed to them being playable. If they're kicked for Greninja and Mewtwo, then I'd understand, but it sure is a shame I won't have Squirtle.
And then even more people would be angry at "Sakurai Bias" because one of their most wanted characters were not in.
I would love reading Gamefaqs and drinking their salty tears if Bandana Dee got confirmed. It would be beautiful.
I just feel that the poke roster needs to focus on other gens as well, so far we've had 6 first gens, 1 2nd Gen, 1 4th Gen, and 1 6th Gen. P
He hasn't deconfirmed because they are all playable. That's right, I said it!
