More marketing for when they pop SMRPG on the VC.A Star Fox game for Wii would be great too, but frankly I think Pikmin is a WAAAAY better series. You should really hunt down Pikmin 1 and 2. Awesome games.
So THAT'S how Sakurai decided to gimp the high tier characters... hopefully Sheik was also ripped apart and gragged piece by piece to the Pikmin's onion, where he/she/it/potatoe could be converted into hundreds and hundreds of Pikmin!
Well, one of the reasons that I felt Miciaiah stood such a high chance was the uniqueness of her moveset. Once it revealed that Zelda was still just a magic user, it seemed to me that she was no longer had that niche within the roster. I think thinks she stands a good shot, but I just don't see her as as much of a shoe in as I once did.
ACK! He isn't supposed to be.... I edited Resseti's profile I (with a link to KevRed's moveset) yesterday but for some reason it isn't there... I'll edit it back in right now.
I'm sorry you feel disappointed, but I'm not surprised. I saw this one coming ever since the infamous update where Salurai said that Samus would only remove her suit "under certain condiditions." The good news is that "conditions" implies more there is more than one way to make Smaus shed her armour. High dammages might also do the trick, and it's even possible that Zamus will be an ultra-difficult-to-get unlockable character.* Smooth Criminal mopes into Wiseguy's thread, looking deflated and absolutely miserable. Considering that this is a forum for all things that are Smash, Smooth's disappointment clearly relates to the new information that has been doled out by Sakurai and Company. Before the inevitable questions of "why?" and "what's wrong?" are asked, SC weakly gestures to the picture below.*

>.>; As you can tell, this update has made me sad. I was hoping that Zamus was going to be something that you hold A for, not something that's accessible after a super attack. I'm still hoping that you can freely switch between Samus and Zamus at the character select screen.

I agree that Geno is in a completely different class. If Sakurai is looking for a character to represent Square, then he will likely be looking for someone like Black Mage. If he is looking for an awesome-yet-obscure character from Nintendo's past, then Geno has a good chance - even though he is technically owned by Square.People are counting Geno as a Square rep now? I'd say he's in a completely different class than a 'rep.'
Square can't make any cash off of him without Nintendo's blessing. They've got no use for him whatsoever outside of rereleasing SMRPG on Virtual Console. As far as Squeenix is concerned, Geno's stuffed in a box in a janitor's closet somewhere, and if Sakurai wants to walk in and dust him off with their easily-given permission, hey!
Which is quite different from, say, Chocobo or Black Mage, who ARE major trademarks and would require a bevy of legal fees and time to make sure nobody's stepping on anybody elses toes by letting them appear in a Wii casual fighting title. ESPECIALLY with FF: Dissidia coming out on PSP. There's a chance they wouldn't let that happen at all, so as hardcore FF fans have to get their fix with a game by Square and not a guest appearance in another fighting game that's already going to sell millions of copies.
But...yeah. I play Samus now and then, and this transformation thing is getting me a little bummed. As much as I trust Sakurai...are you really going to tell me that I can't use her FS if I don't want to have to fight as a different character entirely?
Yeah, but I'm going to assume that in most battles I won't be expecting a Smash Ball to pop up right as the match starts. I would make a wager that the majority of fights will be well on their way before this can even be pulled off.
QFT, my friend. Despite the recent deconfirmations of fairly popular candidates (neither of which were recognized on Sakurai's poll, however) and the questions left in the wake of today's update, I still trust Sakurai's judgment. It seems to me as though he's pulling out all the stops for this game, and I'm more than satisfied with what I have seen thus far. All the spazzes need to calm down for a moment and wait for the next update. Who knows? It might hold all the answers.
If you should take ANYTHING from this update, it would be that this transformation is nearly nothing like Zelda/Sheik, and comparing it to such (in this light) is most likely doing the concept an injustice.
Who says that this is limiting anything? All of these preconceived notions of limitation and wrong-doing are coming waaaaaay to early to even consider as rational or well-found. The Zero Suit could very-well be the best thing to happen to the character in Smash; for all we know, Samus could be top-tier just because of this change. But the most important thing to remember (especially considerring this past week's updates) is that we're most likely going to be wrong either way, and Sakurai could be moving in a completely different direction from what we've predicted.
Why is it an injustice. They are both transformations and they both yield the same results. The only thing that's different is the method.
Not really. Zelda transforms into Shiek and remains that way until you change back, even if you are ko'd. I'm comparing this situation with her because it's the most similar example we have. We know FS' aren't a common thing, and it would really emphasize the disadvantage of the Zero Beam by being stuck with ZS Samus for the rest of the match. Having Samus restored to her former self after being ko'd kind of defeats that purpose.
It's limiting because Sakurai has pretty much stated that FS' aren't a common thing, and so far it's the only known way to access ZS Samus. Her accessibility is more limited than other characters as of right now, and until more light is shed on the matter, that's all we have to go now.
Thank you.
I agree that this is going to limit Zero Suit Samus' usefulness - but isn't that a good thing?
That's an interesting point. In the past, Link could creat his own bombs (a sort of item...) and Peach would occasionally pull a Bob-bomb out of nowhere... if sakurai is trying to blur the lines between character and item we could see more examples like Wario's chopper and Samus' armour.
No prob. You made some great points.
100% agreed. The Final Smash, Assist Trophy, Gooey Bomb and rocket launcher all look positively brilliant.
This is the best argument for alternative Zamus playability case IMO. She has been in about half of the screenshots we've seen. And something tells me that they didn't just do it cuz they liked her so much. I'm thinking there's an easy way to become Zamus, whether it be in game or before starting. I'm not sure I care. As I've said all along, I trust what Sakurai has decided to do. And just like with everything else, I don't think we see the full story in the updates. They're just a taste.
