Link, Young Link, Samus, Mario, Pikachu, Pichu. You = fail.
Sakurai: Guys, who should the third FE rep be?
But he starred in the very FIRST Touch generations title. Surely that counts for something.
Having Villagers with upgraded character designs fighting in the foreground and Villagers with older character designs in the background wouldn't be æsthetically pleasing. All playable characters have increased detail.
Yes, but the fact that there are no Viking hats at all leaves the door open for a hated villager PC.
I suspect that G&W's craziness had a huge part in his being chosen over the likes of Wario, for example. Having a stick figure as a PC is simply an insane concept.
And the very notion of having Solid Snake in Brawl is VERY bizzare no matter how you slice it. The faact that you can have Solid Snake and Pikachu in the same game proves that there is no character that can't "fit".
Yes, Kawahima is based on a real person. Just like Mario is based on the real life landlord of one of the dudes on the Donkey Kong arcade team. And just like the Legend of Zelda is based on Miamoto's real life experience of exploring the countryside around his house, exploring caves and killing octorocks. Check. Mate.
And Kawahima would not be a bad joke. He would be an AWESOME joke.
That's one possibility, to be sure. But while Picto char doesn't NECESSARILY mean anything, for all we know it does. Even if the music for Pictochat was thrown together haphazardly, they might have still created the stage for Dr. K in mind. It's certainly more interesting than a stage designed around floating numbers...
And the DS icon works fine as a symbol of casual games.
The Claus profile is very well done. It's in Nintendo Runnerup: Part 2.
I admit that Marth's high tier status likely had no beaering on whether or not he was incluuded in Brawl. However, Ike's radically different stats chould not come as a surprise IF he is in fact designed as a Marth replacement.
Perhaps. But he was one of the most requested characters on Sakurai's poll, so he might be worth some extra effort. I'm just speculating, obviously.
But I support any and all time saving measures that go towards development of Olimar. He and Ridley are the only other characters that MUST make the cut, in my opinion.
Yeah, I guess we do admit that Ike isn't a Marth replacement in terms of the role. Judging by the gameplay vids, I must admit that his stats are too dissimilar to be intended to fill the void for Marth mains.
I do think it's possible that Marth's attributes might be given to serval replacements (including Ike) however.
100% Agreed. Olimar is way too awesome for such slander.
It was a joke, really. I have a reputation for disliking the character, even though I don't (not since Fire Emblem DS was announced, anyway). You can read my argumument for not including Marth in Nintendo Runnerup Part 2.
Sounds reasonable. But whether or not the stage was designed with a PC in mind is another question.
It's a cool idea, but not only is the game pretty obscure - the developer is a relative unknown as well.
On a realated note, I've heard mixed opinions on this game. Is is any good?
I know for a fact that Sakurai is studio guy 3.Sakurai: Guys, who should the third FE rep be?
Studio guy 1: How about Sigurd?
SG2: No, Micaiah is better!
SG3: But, but, what about the Black Knight, FE needs a villain!!
SG2: We can put him in the SSE, Micaiah deserves the spot!
SG1: No, it should be S-I-G-U-R-D!
Sakurai: If we can't make up our minds, then screw it, no third FE rep!
Yet staring in the very FIRST Fire Emblem game means nothing for Marth/
Hey, I've always supported Marth appearing in Melee. Similarly, Dr. K deserves a guest appearance in a single Smash Bros enstalment.
Why, what has Brain Age ever done for you?
Correct: he's a real person AND a Nintendo character.
Sakurai is not going to be in SmashI'd like to suggest Shigeru Miyamoto for a WTF character. I know Sakurai is already in there, but other than Smash Bros, he's not known that well, and I doubt he'd decide to put himself in a game he was directing himself anyway. I know he was pretty much suggested as a joke, but Miyamoto seems more likely to me, having created a large number of the characters and series in the game himself
Seems pretty massively unlikely that he actually would get put in, but considering the audience of this game (Nintendo fans), he would fit in much better than he would in any other game. If not a playable character, I insist he be made into a stage featuring live action visuals!
Ya, that's why the game got a sequel. It's been confirmed that a song from Brain Training will be in and there could a trophy or sticker belonging to it as well. There's your representation.
If they're going to go about including real peole as PCs (who aren't also Nintendo videogame characters) I say just include Mii. Then Sakurai and Miamoto could have a team match against Dr. Zoidberg and Chewbacca!I'd like to suggest Shigeru Miyamoto for a WTF character.

It's a start, I guess, but I still think tha the casual crowd are important enough to warrent their own PC.
Brain training is aimed at old people not the casual market.
1) Actually, I disagree. The Wii-mote only controll scheme seems designed with casual gamers in mind.
My little sister plays the Brain games too.
Neither of us can say it with certainty, but I believe that G&W had priority over Wario for other reasons. Mainly, Wario is a popular Mario character with spinoff games, but G&W has an entire series of games that served as the pivotal precursor to Nintendo's hugely successful line of handhelds. For that reason, he's immensely more important that Wario.
Checkmate? How so? There's a huge difference between a character inspired be real life (most things are) and the digital likeness of a real person. Why don't we just stick in Madden as a playable character? He'd be more awesome than Kawashima, that's for sure.
But it wouldn't be funny!
Well, in certain games there is no story to speak of. The game & watch games and Ice Climbers are exmples of this. So it's not quite fair to judge Twilight Princess and Brain Age on that level.
You're right, it's all speculation. But I wouldn't rule out his craziness as a factor.
I dunno... I just like saying check mate.Checkmate? How so? There's a huge difference between a character inspired be real life (most things are) and the digital likeness of a real person.

WTF are you talking about? I doubt that, since they probably don't care about SSBB in the first place, they'd care about being represented in it. If they don't identify with Mario or Donkey Kong to begin with (nevermind the more non-mainstream characters) then they probably wouldn't give SSBB a second glance.
Yeah, but they were more limited by the technology of the time. There's only so much plot that can fit into a game and watch game.
QFT.
I don't know, there's probably already quite a few of the Brain Age folk playing Mario Party - and it's not so absurd to see them picking up Brawl as a party game. And while they likely won't buy the game to play as Dr. K, they would likely get a kick out of seeing a character they they are familiar with from a series they love.
Which is why I ruled him out after sonsidering him briefly.
Brain Age totally has a story as well. It involves Dr. K's selfless quest to make the unwashed masses less stupid. One player at a time...
Meaning... Brawl IS the final smash bros game?
Now at least i know he will be ran up for later if someone gets deconfirmed or so ^_^, Good job.
My only complaint is that I probably won't be able to make my dream stage... but there are many others I can make, so no prob... you can't have everything.
No clue... Haven't played it.
