That looks familiar for some reason. Didn't we met before?Pardon my consecutive posts.
I refurbished my moveset and palette designs from earlier. I'd like to re-submit this for the first post.
[collapse="Lip by Kapus"][/collapse]
Making this made me realize just how much I would love Lip as a playable character. She seems like she would be a very unique and fun character to play as.
Well it was a pretty successful SNES game there, so it's not that surprising that would still want to cash in on that. I don't really think it means anything towards the future of the series. Most Nintendo games show up on the VC eventually.So I found out that Panel De Pon is on Wii U's VC in Japan only, released back in March 29 this year.
I kinda thought they were done with this series but seems like they don't mind reminding us that they don't. (But I still dunno what it means to the possible new audience introduced to the series)
Oh, I sure remember the context.I don't even remember what the original context or reasoning for this picture was. The concept of a "badass" Lip is just funny to me.
I guess you can say that Lip...
Had the last laugh!

I talked about this idea in one of the forum games (either rate their chances or sakurai's pillars, don't remember). Although Lip is fairly unknown in the west, she is pretty much adored by everyone who is familiar with her and her series. I am confident that if Lip were to be added to Smash Bros, she would end up being accepted and appreciated easily. It may even encourage IS to do another entry in the Panel De Pon series, which has been on hiatus lately.The reason why I bring up Marth/Roy in relation to Sami is that Marth/Roy are perhaps the only two surprise characters (Marth on the Western surprise of things) that ended up being extremely popular despite no one asking for them. It shows that if a character design is appealing enough, and even if the character is a clone (as was the case with Roy), people will still gravitate toward the character.
Another element to Marth/Roy is that they represented an entirely new franchise to Smash Bros. from which a large portion to the Smash Bros. fanbase was unfamiliar with, yet incredibly important to Nintendo and has a very long-running history.
For one, I think for quite a few people, it would uncomfortable to have a loli-like character in Smash Bros. Even myself I have misgivings about the design to the character due to her relatively short skirt, and one thing I don't want to see in Smash Bros. are loli panties.
Firstly, I just want to say that the length of Lip's skirt tends to be pretty inconsistent. It's pretty short here, but it has been shown to be a bit longer than that at times (that or her legs are just changing size). Her daughter, Furil, actually had a shorter skirt in the GCN version of the game.
But as can be seen by the figurine, Lip's skirt is very problematic, and would turn away a good deal of players (though that may be mitigated by giving her biker shorts underneath her skirt.)
I don't really see this as problematic at all, as she could easily be given bloomers or a dress. Even with that, I don't think players would be turned off by the character for that reason. I don't think that figurine really matters, nor does having a 3D model for a base. It's not like the figurine in question is the dress length in canon. So it's not really a problem.But as can be seen by the figurine, Lip's skirt is very problematic, and would turn away a good deal of players (though that may be mitigated by giving her biker shorts underneath her skirt.)
They still haven't released Panel de Pon or even Tetris Attack on Wii's Virtual Console in North America. I expect Nintendo to release Pokemon Puzzle League again for the Wii U's Virtual Console.So I found out that Panel De Pon is on Wii U's VC in Japan only, released back in March 29 this year.

Perhaps she could be revealed in Spring, with the fitting theme of flowers.So here we've been talkin' about Lip and all, but haven't we supposedly gone past what could have worked as a potential reveal date? (27.10?).
In anycase, how would she even be revealed, if she'd be in this game?
Personally, I'd prefer Lip it be an unmentioned secret character that you just have to unlock.So here we've been talkin' about Lip and all, but haven't we supposedly gone past what could have worked as a potential reveal date? (27.10?).

Unlike Pit, I don't think a redesign is heavily warranted. With Pit, the main reason why he got such a drastic redesign is because it was for the sake of fleshing him out more. Basically it was improvising because there wasn't a lot to work with, so to compensate they gave him more to work with in the form of the blade/bow hybrid and generally greater detail in his design to seem more appealing. Remember the whole "makes people want to play the game" thing.Not to mention, much like Roy and Marth, I would expect a full Sakurai redesign upon her inclusion, similar to Pit's.
I personally don't think he design has aged very well, similar to Pit and Marth's FE3 design. The redesign could be made to give lip more to work with as well. Improvement's made to Lip's stick, akin to Palutena's bow. I think Lip's design can be changed to make her more appealing. I think Panel de Pon's look, while overall appealing to someone like me, is part of the reason it made it to the US as Tetris Attack with Yoshi instead as the lead protagonist. Lip could be redesigned to make people want to play the game as well.Unlike Pit, I don't think a redesign is heavily warranted.

Don't see what could be made to the Lip's Stick. What, you want it to turn into a bazooka and shot everyone with pinks missiles of adorableness? Plus, you want her to appeal to a western audience? Alright, let's make her some sort of hot teenager with her huge breasts flapping everywhere and panty shots galore.
That doesn't even define her character well.Don't see what could be made to the Lip's Stick. What, you want it to turn into a bazooka and shot everyone with pinks missiles of adorableness?

But we must defy all conventions in order to appeal to the adrenaline fueled manly men of manliness, otherwise everyone dies!That doesn't even define her character well.
