Is it just me, or are his pants lopsided?Just imagine the reaction of non-EarthBound fans if they see this guy in the roster:
Thought it was the 21st, the 14th anniversary of Smash. Either way I'm too lazy to dig something BS like that up, even if I'm teasing.
I'm guessing it will be at least a day before we can actually return to the site to discuss Ridley/Little Mac/Megaman's reveals, since the site will just be swirling around the toilet bowl for at least that long due to the flood of new users.
Yes they are
I'd say it already started to go that way back when the this forum opened up, I pray we get some more good and active mods like Mario_Sonic when that day comes.
Eevee would be a good Pokeball Pokemon, especially
The boards merged for Gamespot and GameFAQs a long time ago. That is how GameFAQs got even dumber. However, IGN is probably the worst of all. I am not sure if even a dedicated Smash Bros. board still exists for IGN. SmashBoards and GameFAQs are pretty much the only active Smash Bros. speculation communities left.
Nsider was at least better than the ****hole Nsider 2 became after the numerous power struggles and whatnot.
Oops too late... :/
Hasn't worked so far.
Ah, now I get ya. Although we did get a MK course recently, so...
Eh, Waluigi has more personality, so Sakurai probably finds him cooler. Really, Daisy started off as a literal expy of Peach, and hasn't done anything noteworthy since her one and only appearance. Not that Waluigi is very noteworthy, of course, but his two key appearances are a bit better than that.
Actually, just the most prominent. I wouldn't say most popular at all. I know quite a few people who only like the Kart/Party games and hate the main series.
At most, their important appearances are about equal. Numbers of appearances doesn't spell out importance to me. I consider Ganondorf barely important to Twilight Princess at all, for instance. However, Wind Waker and OOT, he was beyond key.I'd agree they have around the same level of importance, though Daisy has appeared in more of the Mario series than Waluigi has (if only due to SML), and was chosen as the Double Dash character for Mario Kart 7 over Waluigi. They also both regularly appear in most spin-offs (or I guess Mario spin-offs don't exist, because there isn't a main Mario series). In reality, neither is too important, but Waluigi does have a great deal more popularity than Daisy. And again, you've taken me out of context. I only gave Waluigi a 1/10 based solely on his role in the storyline of the collective Mario series (all of them), which I also said was a poor way to measure importance. I never said or thought that his actual importance was 1/10. I actually agreed with the score Frostwraith gave him (I think it was a 5?), I just disagreed with Frostwraith's apparent logic behind how he scored him, and said by that logic he should've been much lower.
Actually, considering no other villains beyond Kamek, Bowser, and Bowser Jr. span multiple games, he's up there as one of the major villains. Everybody else has one game max. He is a major villain in two games, which nobody beyond those can even brag about it. So he does have some importance.
I'd like to see Waluigi in, but I actually do agree with this. Toad should be in well before Waluigi, same with Dr. Mario coming back and Paper Mario. Then him(for regular Mario characters, or Mario himself) Bowser Jr./Shadow Mario(with or without the Shadow part) is hard to say. I guess he could go before Paper Mario, though.
Or read a sign that clearly says that the door is not an exit. People hate reading.
Not the date I would have chosen but whatever. Anyway I'd bet the speculation community here on SWF could come with a better "leak" than these nobodies on these other sites.
They've migrated to Screwattack in recent days.
This has been my reasoning exactly. Roy I believe will return to get his due from brawl, because of that, an because of his return for FE:A.
Hard to believe that they'd be the same exact person.As of now, I think a 3rd EarthBound character is not probable. EarthBound only has 3 games in the entire series (not counting the Mother 1+2 GBA port), and having 3 characters for a franchise with only 3 games is pushing it too far. Though the Mother 1 protagonist, Ninten, is the only EarthBound character I think has real chances because of the popularity of his game in Japan, he is probably not going to be added because he looks TOO MUCH like Ness, the creator has even said that they could be the same person. Just imagine the reaction of non-EarthBound fans if they see this guy in the roster:
Yeah, Waluigi is more unique in comparison to Wario than Daisy is to Peach, I'll agree with you there. Kinda makes you wonder what the point of creating Daisy for SML was at all. I guess because it technically didn't take place in the Mushroom Kingdom, but still...
I know many people like this as well, but I'd say this one is debatable. The Kart games come close, but overall (ofc there are a few exceptions) the platformers are usually the best selling Mario games, meaning they have the widest audience and the most popularity.
Yeah, they're about equal, though SML and MK7 did do better and had a wider audience than MP3 and the Dance Dance game. I'd agree, in a series like Mario, number of appearances doesn't mean too much (as long as you still show up every once and a while), but it does carry a bit more weight in other series (with much fewer games).
Right, he's been a villain more than someone like Wart (though in less-prolific titles), and I guess he's been the main villain both times, unlike someone like Fawful or Tatanga, but in the total scope of the series, with its like 250+ games, being the villain twice still doesn't amount to much, even if it's more than some other villains. It's not really enough to be classified a "main villain" if you are the main villain less than 1% of the time.
That was the point. Unfortunately, Shigeru doesn't like much personality for Mario characters, so...(he likes that stuff in Zelda only)
I pretty much disagree. Unless you can show proof, the spin-offs(as in not-platformers) combined do pretty much outweigh the platformers overall in power. Sheer number does this more or less.
I put little weight into amount of appearances, only if it matters.
Fawful is the main one in one, and an ordinary bad guy in another. As for Tatanga, he may have had more(I never really went through the SML games). But Waluigi is up there among the most appeared "as a villain". In fact, in the non-platformers, he's the king of villains. In the platformers, he's far outweighed... and you know, not there.
Nice find!A bit late, but here's the "50 characters, double the stages" Sakurai interview that really ought to have deterred rumors that we're getting only 39 characters by now.
He does say that's not -all- that he wants to do, as he has in the past, but he's definitely not going to limit his roster aspirations, just because.

It's good to see he has his priorities set right. I'm at least relieved that this simply won't be Brawl 2.0 as many people want.
This is basically what I expected him to do with the 3DS version.
Because balancing would then be a tremendous task.Why can't the roster be gigantic like MvC?
Likewise, on both accounts actually. Btw, I loved that picture of Banjo. Where did you find it? You got any more? Good Banjo pictures outside the official art are rather hard to come by.
I used to be very against getting Chrom, but the more thought I give him, the more I could see him being unique. However, if Sakurai is willing to break walls and get very creative with him is another thing, that we'll have to see. That being said, with some of the ideas I've got cooking up for him I could very well see him alongside Marth and Ike.
i can agree with this
