I'll have you know I liked this post, BUT ONLY UP UNTIL THE KING BOO STUFF.

Not that a ghost character wouldn't be awesome. Was incidentally just thinking about that earlier, though with Gengar. Mainly, I just thought it'd be cool to have a character whose "crouch" was to go into the ground, leaving only their shadow visible. Perhaps a few particle effects as well just so their location would still be known to compensate for different camera angles.

Am I thinking of a MYM moveset???

Like, you should totally join MYM14 and stuff #shamelesstag

But yes, I believe the Gengar set made by K.Rool in MyM 10 did some tricky shadowy stuff, but it is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy outside the realm of being a set made for humans lol.

I wonder if its possible we will get "X"'s protagonist over Shulk. X has the potential to possibly be a system seller for the Wii U (especially if its up to the quality and accolades that Xenoblade got).

Not really. Because first of, character inclusions are not based around sales ( ). Second, Shulk has requests to go off of and not the ambiguous protagonist we don't have any clue on. Third, a character that looks suspiciously like Shulk is being teased for X, which doesn't guarantee anything but is always a possibility that the two are one in the same.

I want to see alt costumes for all of these cats; If not, a PT-esque Captain Squad team.

What do you guys think of a true Pokemon Newcomer? Would they come from Gen V or Gen VI?

And I could definitely see a Pikmin Newcomcer sprout out of these characters

 

[BluePikmin11]

I think they kinda did that in Brawl..

 

[Big-Cat]

Meowth pls

 

[Fastblade5035]

Blaziken...?

Don't care.

It's it's something along the lines of Lucas/Wolf parallels, then that would be alright. Not particularly fond of the idea though.

 

[Shorts]

I figure there moveset would play off of one another, or the new Pikmin. Probably a combination of both.

 

[FalKoopa]

I'm expecting alts for Olimar to be based on them.

 

[Moon Monkey]

If Olimar is limited to the Red, Blue, Yellow, Purple and White and these guys had Red, Blue, Yellow and exclussive access to these new Pikmin for SSB4, I think i just might be fine with that.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

So I just got to realize that Brawl actually has Bubsy.

Not Sonic.

Oh god my the sides. XD

 

[FalKoopa]

Lol, I had that game, Super Bubsy for Windows 95. IIRC it took me 6 years to complete that game.

Automatic: Fixed it. (-=_=-)

 

[SmashChu]

I've mainly used Shulk as a utility character, not a full blown support character. Basically a jack of all trades that can do stuff that other characters cannot do like the Monado Shield. I primarily use Riki for support since he can buff other party members and can inflict all sorts of status.

In MMOs, you have three roles: Healer, Tank, and DPS.

Shulk isn't a good healer nor can he tank well. His role is DPS. His arts don't work well if an enemy has aggro. This is why he gets Shadow Eye. It's also why he has Battle Soul (don't need HP if your not being attacked). His Monado arts support. His states are not balanced as he has low HP and weak defense. He has decent speed I believe. He can do a lot of things, but he isn't balanced.

 

[~automatic]

Note to self: play Xenoblade.

The best MMO didn't need that crap.

[FlareHabanero]

Well obviously sending out Shulk head first into the heat of battle isn't exactly a good idea, especially when characters are available like Reyn, Dunban, hell even Melia that are better at offensive purposes. When using Shulk, I balance out the offense and defense to get a good sense of utility and use whatever attack is most appropriate for the situation.

I do realize Shulk isn't exactly a balanced character like in the same way as someone like Mario, but it's the closest in the game.

Falkoopa: "Oh hey look Wario's so Frame-to-Frame in Warioware-games, absolutely lovable I like"

And thus we got a moveset which capitalizes of motorcycling, super-weird moves and farting. While completely ignoring WarioLand. (except for one move).

So I have to agree with Oasis. (to some degree)

Two, actually. His forward throw is clearly inspiried by the Wild Swing-Ding.

And while I'm a big fan of Wario Land (especially Wario Land 3; one of the best games of all time IMO), it is understandable why Wario would be mainly Ware based.
Simply put, WarioWare is overall a much more successful series to Nintendo than Wario Land, is by far one of the more unique franchises Nintendo has to offer (with only Rhythm Heaven to compare, for quite obvious reasons), and really did more for Wario's identity being more than just a Bizarro Mario.
I understand what the Colonel means when he tells Snake that Wario "really made his name in the WarioWare games".

However, the treatment of his techniques from the Land series admittedly was not that good. While he can be mainly Ware based, he does have rather iconic techniques outside of Ware.
Making the Shoulder Bash a low range side smash instead of a full force dash attack was a poor choice. The faceplant dash attack was kind of an insult.
The Ground Pound not being in the game is sort of understandable, given we have Bowser and Yoshi doing it. However, it is a big part of Wario to not include (it is bigger to Wario than Bowser). It works wonders as a down air like in SSB Crusade and I assume Project M, especially if it retains its properties of getting stronger the farther he falls like in WL4 and Shake It.
Seeing as his forward throw took after the Wild Swing-Ding, the other Wario World throws should have been incorporated somehow. The Piledriver as an up throw, the Wild Swing-Ding made into the back throw (yes, I know that it would make it like Mario/Luigi, but whatever), and the typical charged toss as the forward throw. His down throw could stay the same. His pummel however, with Shake It, should be changed to him shaking his opponent.
And while this doesn't apply to Brawl since Shake It came after, the Earthshake Punch should defintely be incorporated somewhere, like his down smash, replacing that god-awful spin on the floor.

Though honestly, that's all he really needs.
While he'd still be Ware based (which makes sense in the long run), it still gives Wario a little more from his Land aresenal that would easily fit Smash in place of some of the Brawl-original moves. And why he didn't have a proper Shoulder Bash and Ground Pound to begin with, when both moves are featured in some of Wario's microgames is beyond me.


.....I am sorry. I didn't mean to give a whole essay about Wario. Forgive me.

I think the main problem is that there is not a character among them that is more important than the rest (though I have a hunch that the blue one might be related to Olimar). I think of them, that the girl one would get the most support for a prospective Pikmin newcomer. A Lucas/Wolf version of Olimar would be okay as a newcomer, especially if they brought in the new Pikmin types.

Here is another screenshot of the female captain:

Classic Sonic is ugly. Never understood why people like that fat short look more. Also, don't give two ****s. My favorite Sonic characters all come from later games. Tails, Knuckles, and Eggman aren't even my faves.

I don't really like Sonic games though. Especially the originals.

Personal Fave:

Behind her would be Shadow, and that's really it. I liked Big and Amy as a kid. (God I was gay)

 

[Vintage Creep]

You mean that your favorite Sonic characters are Blaze, Silver... Jet? Lol.

Eggman > everybody.

Shadow is incredibly overrated.

 

[SmashChu]

Where are these screen shots coming from?

 

[FlareHabanero]

Admittedly I do find the female captain to be really adorable.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I'm thinking that the Green captain is some kind of sheriff. He has a star shaped badge on his chest.

 

[Opossum]

I think the SATs I took today may just be getting to my head, but the green captain...is he making the

I think the only way fo us asconsumrs to know who is the most inportant is for us to get the game. I do think if they were to pick one of these three they should use red, blue, yellow, pink, rock and whatever new pikmin are revealed in this game. Olimar should keep Purple and white exclusive to his playstyle. But yea I agree a Lucas/Wolf would be very welcomed.

@Smashchu if your talking about the pikmin 3 screens I came across them on wiiu daily.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

She looks like Nicki from Swapnote with that hairdo and glasses:

Also reminds me, they could have Nikki somewhere in the 3DS-version. I mean that girl's become so popular for some reason.

Oh, right. Rule 34.

It's a girl. It's pretty much common sense at this point Rule 34 would strike for that.

 

[lobotheduck21]

Got a question for ya'll

If jigglypuff was cut (palutena forbid), would you replace her with a cool, bad*** poke, or more of a cute one

 

[ChronoBound]

I am curious about Starphoenix's thoughts since he was the first one to bring up the idea of a Pikmin newcomer that was Lucas/Wolf is nature.

 

[Vintage Creep]

I'd replace her with Igglybuff

 

[Moon Monkey]

Meowth

 

[FalKoopa]

Wigglytuff.

 

[FlareHabanero]

One could argue that including Meowth would of been the more wise decision in the long run, but Jigglypuff is still a pretty interesting character and was awesome to use in Melee.

 

[Shorts]

First attempt at an Icon. Not hard to guess who it's for.

If we had to cut Jiggs, I would want Meowth to replace her. Although honestly:

Pikachu
Jigglypuff
Pokemon Trainer
Meowth
Mewtwo

would make me a happy camper

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Meowth would make the most sense.

AND THAT ICON IS FOR BOMBERMAN!!!

 

[lobotheduck21]

I'd go with mew, probably since it's cute and a bad***
