Roster Discussion Thread (Closed)

[Frostwraith]

True that. This year's E3 is a bomb waiting to be dropped, and it's not just on Nintendo's side: it's likely that Sony and Microsoft will be showing their new consoles. I shudder to think of the incoming flame wars between the fanboys... o.o

 

[ChronoBound]

For those Toad and Waluigi fans hoping that they were playable in Luigi's Mansion 2's multiplayer mode...

Different colored Luigis are the extra playable characters.

 

[SmashShadow]

Bowser Junior Confirmed

 

[8-peacock-8]

So All-Stars has the same Goku problem smash had. Bunch of idiots claiming he's a video game character when he's not.

Kind of expected though.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Goku is totally a video game character. I mean the guy comes from Yūyūki for the Famicom Disk System, which was developed by Nintendo.

 

[Arcadenik]

Kinda funny how not even THE Luigi is playable in Dark Moon's multiplayer mode.

What if those Luigi recolors are the new palette swaps for Luigi? I'd main the pink/green Luigi.

We need him to be the troll character.

omg the pink Luigi. I can finally die in peace now...But those would be trippy palette swaps.

But seriously, the first time I saw the multilayer and all those different Luigis, I was a bit disappointed. Oh well. :/

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Now Luigi knows how Sonic feels in Sonic Colors.

Also cheers for Star and see ya indeed around E3! (-;<>;- )

 

[Gamingboy]

Thinking this thread is fast? Wait until E3 comes... =P

It'll be moving so fast that Sonic-with-a-bunny-hood won't be able to keep up.

 

[Croph]

Wait, since I'm kinda new...is it seriously going to be that bad once E3 comes? May I ask how was everything during pre Brawl?

 

[ChronoBound]

Its going to be really bad. I have been around even before Melee. There is going to be an avalanche of new users just from the build up to this year's E3 because it has been confirmed Sakurai will be showing media for Smash 4 at it.

You know how people post support topics for characters that already have support topics? There is going to be a lot more of that. Also, people posting topics containing their wishlists and various brain farts pertaining to Smash Bros.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Wait, since I'm kinda new...is it seriously going to be that bad once E3 comes? May I ask how was everything during pre Brawl?

I never posted...but I lurked...in those times.....

The hoards are coming. Prepare yourself!

The big issue is that with so much traffic, there will be tons of ignorant people. And I mean tons! Brace yourself.

EDIT: Ninja'd by ChronoBound!

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Also threads like "Tires don exits"

 

[Frostwraith]

I shudder to think on those people who will come here and spam redundant and generally useless threads.

I will feel for the mods those times... -_-;

 

[Banjodorf]

To give you an idea, the site is going to be so full of new threads and constant, CONSTANT posting, that the very world itself may collapse.

When Brawl was released in Japan and new info about the hidden characters and final roster came in, the site was literally unviewable due to bandwidth caps unless you viewed it at 5 AM (Which I did, several times. I'd set my alarm for it.)

But it's going to be SO much fun! We'll finally have a name, and actual returning characters and new characters will get their own sub-forums, and we can post their and form "I'm going to main this but not really!" groups and just WIN!

I'm excited.

 

[~automatic]

You'll never believe how many Waluigi fans exist until Smash announcements at a major event.

 

[Frostwraith]

I've said this before, but if anyone here thinks this thread moves fast, think on how this will be after E3...

 

[lobotheduck21]

It's the ignorant and stupid people I fear more

 

[Oasis_S]

You'll never believe how many Waluigi fans exist until Smash announcements at a major event.

Oh goodness, or all the Ridley "too-biggers"...

 

[~automatic]

Don't get me started on those.

 

[ChronoBound]

Oh goodness, or all the Ridley "too-biggers"...

Hopefully Ridley is confirmed in the first trailer that way we will finally no longer have to hear from the Ridley naysayers.

 

[Frostwraith]

I bet that most people will be from GameFAQs (where I often lurk, can't even dare to open an account there)...

They will likely post support threads for characters that already have one... and that's the tip of the iceberg... o.o

@Chrono: well said.

 

[Banjodorf]

I think I was more shocked in those days that there were so many people thinking Sora had a chance.

I love KH, but seriously people. In those days?

People were CRAZY, man.

Oh, and @Chrono:

I think history's shown that won't stop them, as sad as it is.

I remember when Olimar was revealed. "But he's too small!" was still widely spread around the forums.

 

[Frostwraith]

See also: anime character supporters... oh boy... those supporters for Naruto and Goku... O_O

@gannondorf4ever: yeah... even with Olimar revealed, people kept using that flawed argument.

 

[Croph]

Okay, thanks for the information about how bad it will be. Yeah...I guess I'll have to brace myself...Although I hope I'll be fun.

Goku vs Naruto...Brace yourselves for the fan boys...

 

[Diddy Kong]

Goku, Vegeta, Naruto, each day a new thread about them...

You'd almost encourage Waluigi if you've seen that. Almost.

 

[~automatic]

Near anything appears logical next to those options.

 

[Frostwraith]

I remember lurking the NSider boards during pre-Brawl... the amount of posts titled "Naruto 4 Brawl", "Goku for Brawl" or something like that was insane.

 

[Oasis_S]

They could at least show some GOOD taste and say LUFFY for Smash instead.

 

[Frostwraith]

Even after Sakurai said that there wouldn't be any anime characters, people were stupid enough to support their inclusion. >_>

 

[Diddy Kong]

Impa is better than Girahim and Sheik though.

But yeah, I'm generally not for cuts. Only for Sheik being replaced for Impa, only to separate 'Sheik' from Zelda. Oh, and I'd cut Captain Ganondorf for Toon Ganondorf yeah.

 

[Banjodorf]

@Diddy

Encourage Waluigi? Don't say such things!

But good lord. I think one of the things that Brawl taught me is what to look for when considering playable character status. Nowadays I can look at people's rosters and think "Seriously?"

It's sort of like back then, Krystal was one of those characters *sort of* assumed to be a shoe-in character, when in reality, Wolf was chosen, because:

A. He had more importance and relevance to the series.
B. Sakurai reasons
C. I'm going to say popularity, because I'm petty sure it was true.

Nowadays, my rosters are SO much smaller. (My support's going to Ridley, K. Rool, Takamaru, Lil' Mac, and Shulk. I have some hopefuls for Dixie, and Ghirahim, and even Bowser Jr./Paper Mario), but the Brawl experience taught me not to think too hard, and only go with obvious choices, cuz there are some you just can't guess.

 

[~automatic]

I'd rather have My Little Ponies.

Nowadays, my rosters are SO much smaller.

You grew up.

 

[Frostwraith]

Don't even dare to say that! How many of those "bronies" will be among the incoming onslaught? It wouldn't admire me to see MLP support threads... >_>

Also, if there's a Dojo this time. Expect Japan Time again. =P

 

[SmashShadow]

They could at least show some GOOD taste and say LUFFY for Smash instead.

Please! We all know Ichigo has priority over Luffy

 

[Banjodorf]

I'd rather have My Little Ponies.

Look, I'm a Brony myself, and have some good experience with that fanbase. But only the good parts of it. There's alot of bad things in the MLP fanbase, and I don't want them in my SWF.

Yeah. I'd rather have Goku support threads than 100x threads for Rainbow Dash and Human Rainbow Dash.

Please and thank you.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Krystal supporters where also quite... Flamboyant so to say. Next to Ridley supporters, they appeared to be the most fierce. Diddy's thread was also full of trolls, but Johnknight and I pretty much got rid of them all. No contest! Lucario's fanbase was also quite enourmous. Ike's wasn't though from what I remembered.

 

[~automatic]

Don't even dare to say that! How many of those "bronies" will be among the incoming onslaught?

They're already here.

 

[Oasis_S]

Well look, One Piece is much more popular in Japan and relevant and a new movie just came out so it would sort of be like a promotional character thing and we need to represent pirate animes and etc...
