Because we never seen a floating professor head who uses educational attacks like math and word surfing before, who could potentially be a very fun character.
If this is all you got to support him, then it's safe to assume your in the diddly kong class of posters. Just because we haven't seen it before doesn't mean he's viable, do people really want cooking mama, Harry, N64 logo, a Pizza Hut guy, and Barney the dinosaur just because we haven't seen it before? Lol no sakurai takes popularity and iconic status into account, which is why we got megaman. You still haven't given me a strong case for him, all I see is bias and you wanting your obscure characters no matter what, just like diddy.

I'm sure Dr. Kawashima is known around the world and is not obscure, as Brain Age is a popular franchise.

Can we PLEASE change the topic to something besides Dr. Kawashima?

I love how Saturn always complains about being on topic, and then has an argument having nothing to do with Smash Bros.
You know what I love? Your new icon. :love:

We should keep in mind that logic isn't a strong enough resource to give certainties. Of coarse, logically, Kawashima has 0 chance, as I said before, but there's nothing out there that can 100% guarantee he won't be playable. Yes, I'm abusing a technicality, but it proves there's still something to keep that bulb in the back of BluePikmin's head lit.

Terribad. :troll:

Okay, seriously speaking, he just doesn't shut up about her, makes poor arguments often resorting to recency and spams the hell out of the threads with Impa images often in high resolution, cluttering the thread completely.

so any way, what would your reaction be if ganondorf was revealed with captain falcon's move set (in other words we get captaindorf)
but came with sakurai's quote "move set could be refreshed"

If a giant floating head isn't obscure, I don't know what is. It just isn't happening I Will bet you 100$ dollars payed to you straight through paypal if he got in, that's how sure I am about him having no chance, like I said imagine 4 drs. In the 3ds version....pure glitchy hell man.

Yes, but I doubt senior citizens and soccer moms are the SSB4 demographics.... at least Wii Fit Trainer appeals to the SSB4 demographics for the wrong reasons. :awesome:

I would actually enjoy him in the game. But he shouldn't be in this one. Not yet.
My thoughts exactly.

To be honest...
I expect it. I don't expect to get a refreshed Ganondorf. I predict Falcondorf stays. I hope not, but I think so.

So you're assuming Sakurai is going to give up. Have you lost faith in him?

I would laugh. Just laugh. I'm fine with Ganondorf having a semi-cloneish moveset, just make him better. I do want a unique moveset, but I just want Ganondorf to be good. Hopefully he and Zelda will get revamps.

It would be kinda trollish on Sakurai's part, but I'd hope for some tweaks to make him be more distinct from Falcon.

I wouldn't really complain, given he's been like that since Melee. Although, I'd understand the complaints from other people, as they would be entirely justified.

I'm on your side, but that's a horrible defense. Andross isn't obscure.
I had other reasons in my previous posts, if you wanna go at him so be it, he's another diddy kong, I'm done with that oddball. Sakurai wouldn't even attempt to develop him in the first place. And yes Saturn a monkey head floating in space is obscure as hell.

What's wrong with the new Bowser. They fixed him. I never even played him in Brawl and they only reason I used him in Melee because he was freaking Bowser in Smash!

Do NOT change Ganondorf's move set
Do you enjoy playing as a character with wasted potential? You have strange tastes.

I'd like to see Ganondorf revamped in some aspects. He could keep some moves and overall brutish play style, but that's it. I'd like to see him pulling more moves from the original games, such as casting spells and such.

You never know. He did revamp Bowser and Pit, and gave them a few moves, and in Bowser's case, a physical makeover.

I'm not saying that this is proof he is revamping characters, but it certainly doesn't disprove it. It could go any way, maybe he's gonna try and further declone some characters, like Falco, Ganondorf, and Lucas. I'm actually fine with Toon Link staying how he is, since it at least makes a little sense compared to the other characters. But these characters could be a bit refreshed.

Ganondorf needs a complete overhaul, Falco I guess could use some new moves to further separate him from Fox, and Lucas should just get one or two new special moves, and bam. They're good.

Ganondorf casting spells would be an insult to his physical strength. He already uses magic so why the hell does he need that!?!? It would feel weird playing as him with those techniques.

It wouldn't. They'd be taking a VERY enjoyable move set that fits him well and changing him into something crappy.
Crappy is a bit subjective. While I 100% agree the moveset fits his build and body type, it's a slap across the face to all Ganondorf fans. There are some moves I enjoy from Ganondorf. His Volcano Kick and Side Special are distinct enough to make them different. Everything else is just copy, paste, and edit darkness in it. Sure he uses darkness, but it's a pretty lazy attempt.

Just give him more athleticism instead of the fat old man he was in Brawl, give him more magic, and sure, give him a sword or a trident for some moves. Not all, but maybe three at the most.

He's known, attack-wise, for three things. His punches and kicks, his magic, and his weapon of choice. A combination where one doesn't overpower the other makes sense.
