Roster Prediction Discussion Thread

Why not redesign like Ninten?

Ninten is a retro character that had no incarnation outside his sprite and first and only artwork. Dark Pit is literally SUPPOSE to be black Pit and debuted a year ago.

EDIT: Bomberman replacing Snake isn't likely. But sure as hell possible, I mean he does have more history with Nintendo. Not that I actually predict this will happen.

 

[LoneKonWolf]

By that logic we better deconfirm these characters for using barely similar concepts of other characters:

Not trying to denounce Bomberman, just saying Snake technically already uses explosives like Bomberman, we don't really need Bomberman to make the bomb concept more obvious.

I don't think Bomberman is necessary, either, but I can agree with Saturn on that this particular reasoning is rather poor. I don't think he's needed purely because KONAMI already has their big character in Smash Brothers. Why would they want to replace him with Bomberman, who is by no means a larger character, especially since Snake was already so well received?

 

[BluePikmin11]

I don't Ninten should be classified as a retro character.

Hotfeet: The ultimate smart *** who for some reason wonders why others respond to him like a smart ***.

You reply to people with a Snicker, it's perfectly fine, when I do it or anyone else does it back to you, they're a smart@$$. Logic, there is none. Then again, it's all too expected. XD

Edit: I just realized I finally passed 2,000 posts...hoorah! If it weren't for college and life itself getting in the way, I probably would be at 3,000 by now!

Again it's not likely. But because he's more Nintendo related and Snake was a request from a friend it's possible. Although likely not getting in, he does deserve a spot.

I think I can blame this website for rotting my cells somehow: http://pleasesakurai.tumblr.com/

 

[FlareHabanero]

Hell yes it was.

I'd really like to see Takamaru appear on Smash with a look similar to this one (at least hair-wise)

With projectile nose bleeds?

Famicom is retro. He was on Famicom. Retro character (especially to Japanese people).

 

[LoneKonWolf]

I love all this Bomberman love
when I first began on these boards I thought I was the only one who wanted him in

He's actually highly requested.

True, but he'd be considered a MOTHER representative, rather than a Retro representative.

I didn't mean Retro in a represented in SSB way. I meant Retro in a reality way

Btw, to change the topic a bit, I was reminded by Saturn's new icon about today's "even more stupid than usual" screenshot. What does everyone think it means in terms of potential reveals (For example, I think he could be stalling to reveal Pac-Man)?

Hey guys, I have a friend who just joined named Telemonic. He's been a Smash player since I don't know when, so he's got some good knowledge to share.
The problem is it says he has "insufficient privileges to post."
What's that about, and how can it be fixed?

Never even heard of such a thing until now. Is it possible he's been confused for a previous user of this site that may have been IP Banned?

Did he do all the sign up instructions in order to make posts?

 

[Bowserlick]

Lets all talk about how Pacman will be in Smash4.

I don't know, I might want to message a Mod like Fal about it.

Yeah, I actually helped him do it.
It's weird...

Too much of a common topic, let's talk about Layton.

the only time I had this problem when I joined, is when I tried to post something with less than 10 characters ask him if that's what he tried to do.
if not, ask if he was previously banned, or didn't agree to the terms and agreements, or something

He's simply posting pictures for the sake of posting pictures, it's not stalling it's simply having some fun during development.

 

[Hotfeet444]

I like Layton, he's a great character with a strong tie to Nintendo. Also, speaking of Layton, I am psyched beyond belief for the Professor Layton X Ace Attorney crossover.

PS: I love the new Ace Attorney game, screw IGN for bashing on an eastern developed game...again...

I think Sakurai has completed Little Mac, Pac-Man, and Mii, so it might be the perfect time show off them before everyone rants hard.

 

[FlareHabanero]

I've heard that Professor Layton x Ace Attorney is kind of a weak game, but then again I cannot form an opinion because I've never played it. Funnily, I'm not even a fan of either series, but being a crossover junkie it caught my attention.

 

[Bowserlick]

I really think only Snake and Pacman are options for third party. And that is that.

 

[G0LD3N L0TUS]

What do you mean by "completed"?

You're not the only one with that kind of ideal thinking.

I think Sakurai has completed Little Mac, Pac-Man, and Mii, so it might be the perfect time show off them before everyone rants hard.

I highly doubt that they're completed yet.

 

[BluePikmin11]

What do you mean by "completed"?

What I mean is that all three of those characters are completed of development, so Sakurai is ready to show them off.

Somehow, I have my doubts. Is this supposed to connect to that rumour from back in June? There's been nothing other than that that suggests their confirmation.

 

[FlareHabanero]

You're not the only one with that kind of ideal thinking.

It indeed is, the best kind of opinion are the ones you experience first hand. You can do as much research as possible and listen to word of mouth, but it's another thing to immerse yourself in the situation. With experience, you can be genuine, which in turn means you'll have a strong outlook at things.

It shouldn't take so long to develop a newcomer. Should take about 3 months or 4 to finish IMO.

 

[SchAlternate]

Nah, I like the Japanese look, it just makes him more like a samurai.

Personally I prefer a mix between both versions.

Expect a color version soon.

There are alot of people that could learn from what you just said, sadly a majority of them are probably too headstrong to accept any word other than what it is they wish to hear, and I'm not talking only Smashboards.

Ah, I thought you were implying that there's been heavy implications towards those 3 happening rather soon. I still hate the idea of the Mii, so I'm relieved xD

good advice my friend, good advice mate

That's the hard part, acceptance. Somethings your going to have to swallow no matter how much you beg or plead.

I'm no stranger to acceptance, sometimes even when you try you can't swallow it.

I think you're looking into something that isn't there and that even if it was he could be potentially stalling any character.

 

[LoneKonWolf]

so anyway, it looks like were in dire need of a new topic
lets do what SchAlternate has been talking about,

Spoiler

what do you guys think of Takamaru chances of getting in smash are
