Roster Prediction Discussion Thread

[BluePikmin11]

so since it happens to be "lets all talk about KI day" what are the chances do you guys think that we'll more than 1 newcomer, or the chances of not even getting a newcomer

If it was a last-minute semi-clone, I think Dark Pit fits the bill.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

What's funny is that if it weren't for 5 Pokemon characters. Plusle & Minun makes perfect sense. They're they best Gen 3 representative and advertised the most, even alongside Pikachu, he represents the team battles that were a new concept and gen 3, add another duo to the roster, and replace Pichu.

Eh, I like BluePikmin's predictions. It brings some difference to the thread.

I'd pick Ninten, Medusa, and Sheriff over Dark Pit, Hades, or Hanafuda.

The only Kid Icarus characters I want are Pit, Palutena, and Medusa. These three would complete the Kid Icarus series for me.

Change Medusa to Hades and give Pit a Dark Pit costume with his purple eyes and voice and I'm happy. It'd complete it for me.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Nope. Medusa would. She has more recurrence, importance, and she's not a pallet swap.

Then you would have loved my 5.1 Roster.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Ok, let's have a quick poll, you are Sakurai, and you deciding on 3 last minute semi-clones. Who would you pick?

I'd say it's a 50/50 chance or so to get just one newcomer.

So basically just like every other plausible character? I find people rating characters 50/50 kinda dumb, because in the end they're either in or they're not.
I mean pretty much everybody not named Little Mac is 50/50 (considering the heavily Punch-Out!! inspired boxing arena).

Wait a minute... it all make sense now!

Young Link and Pichu were both meant to be in Brawl! One as Toon Link, the other as Plusle and Minun! So they were all going to be in the game!

Depends on what the roster is already.

If he had the most data, but was not included in the game then that was an intentional decision. Time restraints means a decision has to be made and that decision was intentional.

Then let me rephrase that, there's no reason to believe that he was cut with the intention of always being a scrapable character. Time constraints may've just forced his hand.

I do not think it is coincidental, but only Sakurai really knows for sure. Perhaps, Mewtwo's Shadow Ball would have different stats.

Considering that moves of the same (or similar) properties like Bowser's Fire Breath and Charizard's Flamethrower are present, yes it can be coincidental.

Both moves act the same with the instant death charge. But saying the move was taken from Roy is speculative. Ike did have his B move replaced. This we know. And if Roy's data file was around there is definitely motivation to take his move.

It's completely conjecture to assume that what you're saying was the case, there is no proof on the matter that Ike's move is derived from Roy's. Besides, Sakurai gave his reason for the replacement as he felt it was broken, that's it, there's nothing else to it that he added and thus basing a theory off of that is completely unsupported.

Just because one move is similar doesn't mean that said character was meant to be their replacement.

Priority was given to Lucario. So you can argue that Lucario was not cut for Mewtwo. I still disagree. But what is a fact is that Lucario had priority over Mewtwo (a veteran, non-clone character) to be added in the roster.

Yeah, so did PT and Jigglypuff, Lucario is not a special snowflake, they're in the exact same boat as him. All three were prioritized over Mewtwo, but that doesn't mean any of them were intended to be his replacements.

1 New KI? 50/ 50, if not, then lower.
More than that? Keep dreaming.

Bad choice of words, so sue me.

Apparently people still believe it was going to be Plusle and Minun.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Mewtwo was never a scrapable character. Other Newcomers were just more important. (with the exception of Jigglypuff)

 

[SchAlternate]

I mean, if that was the case...



... Just sayin'.

(Though it was mostly a joke)

 

[LoneKonWolf]

i never thought i'd actually be glad to be here. i had just returned from the b.orchid part of town in the killer instinct thread and let me say... i'm so glad to see you derps again. i still think you're some of the worst, but god dammit if you haven't rubbed off on me. that place was... 6 dominoes pizzas and masturbating 20 times in one day dark. like nirvana super fan the instant he found out about kobain dark.

promise me you guys will never spend more than 12 pages of posts on boobs and butt, k? Zero Samus is fine, in or out.

also on your other point, I can't give you any promise
when that photo of Wii fit trainer was released a week ago people probably filled an entire page or two just talking about her ***

 

[FlareHabanero]

Too bad there is more contraries then supports for the theory.

 

[AEMehr]

If that was the case, why did Pichu's damage gimmick transfer to Lucario (albeit it being heavily reworked)? I don't know about you, but considering what Golden has said about Pra_Mai, it makes more sense to believe that Pichu was removed in favor of Lucario. At least to me, anyways.

Bad choice of words, so sue me.

Oh don't worry, I'll see you in court.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

sue me.

I've been on SmashBoards since May and I've only heard this twice after I said the same thing when I suggested Diskun (AKA not Ridley, Little Mac, Palutena, Mewtwo, etc.)

 

[Depressed Gengar]

Ok, let's have a quick poll, you are Sakurai, and you deciding on 3 last minute semi-clones. Who would you pick?

Pichu
Bowser Jr.
Funky Kong ()

 

[BluePikmin11]

Pichu
Bowser Jr.
Funky Kong ()

Eh Bowser Jr.? I think he would be completely different from Bowser in my eyes.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

If that was the case, why did Pichu's damage gimmick transfer to Lucario.

Not to say that it really was Plusle & Minun, but what's the relevance?

 

[SchAlternate]

I'll admit, it'd be cool if we see another Pichu-like character. That is, a glass cannon that takes damage from its own attacks.

 

[Deleted member]

Only reason I would be ok if Funky Kong was in as a clone is that he would get a "Funky Punch".

.....seriously, how can one not like that?

 

[FlareHabanero]

I'd disagree on the notion on Bowser Jr. being a copy of Bowser, even though I'm not a fan of the character.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Eh Bowser Jr.? I think he would be completely different from Bowser in my eyes.

Yeah, but you could say the same for Toon Link, Ganondorf, and Lucas.

 

[Hotfeet444]

Ok, let's have a quick poll, you are Sakurai, and you deciding on 3 last minute semi-clones. Who would you pick?

Dedenne (Pikachu/Pichu)
Roy (Marth)

and that's all folks.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

If Raichu made it as a last minute semi-clone............................

 

[FlareHabanero]

Dedenne (Pikachu/Pichu)

Odd way of spelling Marill, but okay.

 

[SuperBrawler]

I liked Pichu...

 

[Depressed Gengar]

Eh Bowser Jr.? I think he would be completely different from Bowser in my eyes.

It would be near impossible to. Despite what people say, his moveset potential is quite low. Only things he's got is the Koopa Klown Car and his Magic Paintbrush. That's not a lot.

He's also got Shells........and.........spinning (oh wait Bowser's got that.).................eh......

 

[AEMehr]

Not to say that it really was Plusle & Minun, but what's the relevance?

We have two characters from the most recent generations (at the times of both games) with some sort of character gimmick relating to their damage meter.

Seems pretty relatable to me.

 

[Bajef8]

I see everyone as their avatar. I still to this day think MorbidAltruism is that guy cracking his knuckles in the avatar. Even though she's a girl.

Woah woah woah...Vin Diesel, I mean Morbid, is a girl? My world just imploded. Next you'll be telling me the cake is a lie or something.

Don't personally care for him though I am obligated to defend him seeing as I'm his thread's maker.

I feel like you're obligated to defend every character, seeing as that's always what happens when I bad mouth characters. Except Jigglypuff.

Actually, that is a lot.

With a flying surfboard and coconut bazooka special.

You'll have to pardon me if I say that's quite false...
