The yoshi series is the only series from the orginal without a second rep in Smash 4.
Mario, Luigi, Peach and Bowser (plus maybe Toad or Bowser Jr)
Dk, Diddy (plus either K Rool or Dixie)
Yoshi
Link, Zelda/ Sheik, Gannondorf, Toon Link (with any newcomer if any)
Samus (with Ridley)
Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede (plus maybe Bandana Dee)
Fox, Falco, Wolf (maybe Krystal)
Captain Falcon (either S. Goroh or B. Shadow)
Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Pokemon Trainer (plus others)
Ness, Lucas (plus newcomer if any)
Yes I know all the possible reps for the original series. Yoshi doesn't have a character that warrants being playable.
There's Kamek, the villain, but it normally turns out to be baby bowser or even bowser in the end.
Baby Bros. but we never really see them together.
Those are the ones i see as likely, but theyre nowhere near as big as anyone who isn't already in smash or are among the characters who are highly expected.
So I think that Wario works as another Mario spin-off because Wario is in the same boat.
He's got Captain Syrup (rival/villain), and Ashley (popular warioware character?).
Neither of which of much warrant. Captain Syrup might later, but not now.
Yes, Yoshi needs another rep, but he's not going to get another one anytime soon.
Also, Bandana Dee is an important characetr in the Kirby series. He was
- Was an opponent in Megaton Punch inKirby Super Star
- He appeared a boss in Kirby Super star Ultra's Revenge of the king
- He made a cameo in Kirby Mass Attack in Strati Patrol EOS
- And he was a 4th player in return to dreamland
For example I'll say a few characters similar:
Birdo:
- Was a boss in SMB2, a robotic version in SMA, SMRPG, and partner boss in M&L:SSS
- Ally in Wario's Woods
- Multiple appearances in mario sports and racing games
- Person in Captain Rainbow
Just because a character has appeared multiple times, does not mean they warrant a spot. Characters in Super Smash should be all stars of their respective series. Kirby MK and DDD all are All Stars that the kirby series feel incomplete without those three. If a new game comes out is Bandana Dee necessary? Would he be universally missed? If he wasn't tehre would the entire feel of a kirby game be gone?
in order for my opinion:
no not really
maybe by a few
no, it would still be a kirby game
He's not that influential to the series either. His spot would go better to actual all stars of the series.
And does Mother deserve two rep for only two games. Star Fox is a recognizable game franchise in Nintendo's history. During its 5 games, it has made over 11.5 million copies sold. Each game on average has a similar amount of copies sold to each Mario game.
No it really doesn't. They only deserve one, but they won't go removing Ness or Lucas now. People would panic.
Yeah so is Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Kirby, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Fire Emblem, Punch Out!!, and the Wars franchise. All these series can easily compare to Star Fox, and Punch Out!! and Wars haven't even gotten a representative yet. They may not have as unique characters as Star Fox. But a fourth rep should be reserved for the biggest of franchises. (mario, zelda, pokemon)
Seriously, people that want Krystal are just doing it for the fanservice. You can't even deny it, as that is the only redeeming characteristic she ever had in any game. Even all playable times as Krystal were absolutely rubbish in some way, like being too brief in Star Fox Adventures or being far too weak in Star Fox Assault.
Seriously, can someone out there tell me the appeal of a character that is incredibly pointless aside from whoring out when ever possible?
The fourth major star fox rep. Very original. She's from a dinosaur planet and uses a staff and magic to fight. No other star fox rep has those abilities. Considering sex isn't a part of any Star Fox game (besides some characters having children later) that's a rather improper thing to say about a rather unique character.
(Still think she shouldn't get in though, not yet.)
