Well "light" and "fairy" really are synonymous in my book. They'll represent that pure magic type stuff. There's still a bunch of Pokemon who can be classified under fairy.

I'm just wonderin' if we will get a fairy type mascot.

Need a "Fairy" type mascot? Why not the original mascot of Pokémon, Clefairy? :troll:

Would not be out of place with Pikachu, Jiggs, Charizard, ect. I wouldn't mind

This.

You ever play YuGiOh? All the Fairies are under Light attribute. Well traditionally at least.
I'm still hoping we get a second type. But alas, probably not. Sound is a really good idea IMO. I think it's weird that Clefairy would be a fairy type, who comes from outer space? The plot thickens. I think Jiggs may have a change of typing if this ends up being true.

I love dumb reasons as to why a character should no be in. And by love I mean hate.

Examples include such classics as: "Sakurai said Ridley is too big"

"Ridley,Roy, (pre New Mewtwo announcement), Mewtwo, and K Rool are irrelevant"

(Post New Mewtwo forme announcement) "it looks ugly."

Roy's just boring.

K.Rool IS irrelevant.

Ridley is too big.

Mewtwo... **** Mewtwo.

Fairy interesting,

let's not forget that while there are the tinkerbells of the fairy world, there are mischievous fairies (sprites), and evil fairies (imps)

in magic: the gathering I believe fairies are either white or blue, with some black

The power is strong in the fae.

From what I know about fairies, they're nothing like Tinker Bell.

I agree. I don't want this thread to get locked again. Check out Liggypujff there!
This thread is definitely in hot water with all the crazy posts that were made earlier. This will be the last warning for all users to please keep all off-topic clutter in the general discussion thread.

and we all come back like nothing happened... :evil:
ANSWER THE QUESTION!11!1!

Personally I would love it if that happened.

My perfect Metroid Roster would be.

Samus/ZSS
Ridley
Dark Samus
Anthony

But we'll probably only get Samus, ZSS and Ridley.

Depends on who is in the game

frankly the only way I see dark samus getting in is the melee treatment

Z/Samus, Ridley, and Dark Samus are pretty much all you would ever need to represent Metroid perfectly. After that you're left with a bunch of no-names and snorefests. You'd be down to adding Kraid and Mother Brain.

And boy did we have fun!

Thing is, Dark Samus can't really do the same things Samus can. She has no Missile or Morph Ball functions.

Gimme Anthony Higgs please. Charge laser while disregarding people because of their lack of style. I cannot see why you'd hate such a character.

yet captain falcon is a kamen rider, and ness uses his team mates moves, obviously dark samus could be a clone, which is the only way I see her getting in

It's kind of funny how many potential last minute semi-clones that could get in this time are female. Dark Samus, Dixie, Medusa...

Can you really consider Dark Samus a female?

It's kind of an it.

Yes, great fun. Much laughter was made this night.

Also just out of curiosity, but is there any changes to Shortie's poll?
Not that I'm aware of. Could be wrong, thought. I would post the poll result, but I'll let Shortie do it this time around.

The only big changes are that Roy, Bowser Jr., and Ghirahim have passed up Palutena, Bandanna Dee is now at the top of the "bottom 3", and that K. Rool and Little Mac are basically tied (before Little Mac used to have 15-20 vote lead on him).

Don't forget Toon Zelda, Impa, Viridi, and possibly even Krystal (every additional SF character has been a last minute addition).

Unless your planning on Dark Samus getting special phazon moves and not making her a clone, I don't see why an alternate color scheme/costume wouldn't be just as viable.
4 metroid reps could be cool but I don't think its a crime just adding Ridley.

I personally don't think Metroid has been big enough in the past couple years to get two new representatives. I feel the same with Donkey Kong.

I say we get any amount of characters from any franchise as long as they are good characters, regardless of what the series has been doing

unlike metroid, who's main popularity derives from the west, donkey kong's is more world wide, and I feel the popularity of dk can get it two newcomers

Pretty much. There's a good reason why we haven't seen ten Mario characters in Smash yet and also why I trust Sakurai with deciding the roster (my only true worry is how Sakurai will go about with third-parties).

Mario, Pokemon, Wii Series, LOZ, and Donkey Kong are the top five franchises Nintendo sells, so it's definitely more popular. But fire Emblem had two additions, and it's definitely not as popular as any of these fracnhises, as well as Metroid and Kirby.

I wouldn't mind Dark Samus,
