I actually love that answer. It actually makes sense. It doesn't blatantly question the notion that Toad is the most deserving. It attempts to use empirical data to speculate on what Sora Ltd. might actualize. It is more intelligent than the typical Toad opposition. That is for sure.
You're right, and I'm not disputing who is and who is not a deserving character, but when a clone is added, does anybody but people already a part of their fanbase care to play as them?
I can agree that K. Rool isn't an absolute shoo-in (with two goddamn 'o's), but you're starting to talk nonsense here. Dixie is in no way more important within their series of origin, nor do I think you legitimately believe that...up until August, K. Rool was on your prediction roster instead, so I think you're just easily influenced by the 'relevance' crew despite being adamant that you're not. Repetition of a claim leads to passive acceptance of it as fact, and all that.
Kanto: Squirtle, Ivysaur, Charizard (obviously)
Bull ****. I've gone around telling every idiot that Tropical Freeze is not a reason to add Dixie. The reason I used to have King K. Rool is because he had potential and because I didn't agree with having girl Diddy back then. But, I realize Dixie Kong is more important than K. Rool. She's the third main Kong of the series and King K. Rool has a history of being neglected now and then as have all the Kritters in general. Not only that, but she is seen representing the series in spin-off games (including Mario) more often than King K. Rool is and was even going to appear in Brawl. This isn't to say it makes King K. Rool undeserving, just not as much as Dixie Kong. I've made millions of changes to my roster before.
I don't believe so.
What about Donkey Kong Jungle Beat?
Dixie is actually pretty requested in Japan if I recall correctly. That's not to say requests will get you in over another character. I'd also like to point out that I see Dixie Kong advertised in artwork and such more than I do King K. Rool.
Serperior would probably be a pain to program. Snivy might be easier because he has limbs. Just a thought.
Kiddy kong? he was only in one game that I can remember, DKC3: Dixie kong's double trouble.
I'm pretty sure it was a joke...
Twas but a joke
Okay, fine, bull****. I just fine it mighty convenient that this epiphany of yours comes after months of (mostly) speculation scene newcomers claiming that Dixie is now a shoo-in.
Pretty much this for me would work as well except for Meganium being changed out for Feraligatr, Empoleon for Torterra and Grovyle for Marshtomp.
Because I totally said she was a shoo-in.
That's not true she's basically been a protagonist in every game that King K. Rool has been a villain after Donkey Kong 64. Like King of Swing and Jungle Climber.
I fail to see how this comparison of Waluigi & Dixie works...at all.
I lol at this.
They do, but people like you pretend it's the most major factor.
What are you talking about? What links? We weren't even talking about King K. Rool yesterday.
It's a different Mewtwo so it got a different voice.
Can you please stay on topic today!? Save it for another thread!
It's about freakin' time. He was 10 back fifteen years ago when I was in the 4th grade. It's about damn time they give him a lady.
I have a feeling I'm gonna have great time with Pokemon Y.
I would lol if they gave Mewtwo a female voice.
Probably not as much as he was during Brawl after Snake was revealed, as he was probably as requested as Goku or Naruto is now.
Mew two sounds like a chick in the English version too?
Technically it should, the lab was destroyed along with anyone or anything that could replicate it, and it's not helped as the new Mewtwo's backstory does nothing to explain how it happens despite that. Shame too, could've been an interesting plot point.
Yeah, they didn't change it.
Maybe a creepy, sexually ambiguous laugh, like Javier Bardem in Skyfall, but not an obvious lady laugh. That'd feel wrong.
Well thats sad, I'm losing more and more hope in the Pokemon movies (oh well at least the games are still fun XD).
I don't think it's that obvious when you have to resort to claiming it's obvious and hoping people nod their heads in agreement as opposed to actually making a case for yourself.
The speculation scene newcomers say that Dixie is a shoo-in, and I think it's convenient that your epiphany occurred during a phase where many of them were around saying that. Dixie has been a selectable character in the multiplayer modes of King of Swing and Jungle Climber, but lacked any plot significance within those games, unlike main villain K. Rool (I get the feeling you glanced at the Mario Wiki to make the claim that she's been a protagonist in each of them, rather than playing them). The Waluigi and Dixie comparison works in that, if you think Mario Sports games have any bearing on what Donkey Kong series characters are likely to get in, then surely they'd have a much stronger bearing on what characters get in from the Mario series itself.
Stop right there. I'm going to use that as a springboard off of which to call bull**** on every single person who has said some variation of the bolded quote over the past few months.
Anyone who is going to sit here and claim that Sakurai doesn't care about the fans, and by extension, the characters who get their popularity from the fans, should in no way be taken seriously in a speculative discussion.Masahiro Sakurai said:
Go look at his quotes about Wario and Sonic just a few posts above you. Also, in the "Diddy and Dixie were intended as a duo" article, Sakurai claims that Diddy went on to become a character because 'people found it odd that he hadn't already appeared.' Dedede, Diddy, Ike, Olimar, Toon Link, Villager, Lucas, and Mega Man also all appear mentioned multiple times on Sakuari's published list of fan requests.
Pfft... Femtwo is a thing now? I'm loving this generation sooooooo much.
It looks like you're basically jumping around declaring what counts and what doesn't. Donkey Kong has relations to Mario, so Dixie being in a Mario game should in fact count. And now you're acting like you have to be important to the plot of Donkey Kong to be significant in that game? Since when? And if she is a playable character doing what Donkey Kong is doing she is a protagonist too.
nope
Lol! That is NOT true!
But, he never would have added them if they didn't earn it. Again, you act like they were added for LITERALLY NO reason other than be requested, in which case you are kidding yourself.
No, he thinks that not all character have some degree of popularity, which isn't true either. There's somebody who likes pretty much every character, it's just the magnitude of most characters' popularity isn't significant enough to impact their chances for Smash.
