Possible, but unnecessary when Takamaru and Lip exist. While Sakurai might be able to make him work, he seems like more of a challenge than is necessary.
Never had any, but there was ice in the game, so it's not a terrible stretch.
I think you just completely ignored what I said and used a point that contradicts my point which previously invalidated this point. As I asked you not to.
Well yes. But the theme of the game was literally "ice climbing". So it makes perfect sense to include ice/snow attacks in their moveset.
Depends on what you mean. I'm not sure how much you could do with air, especially when him flapping his arms would likely be his recovery. But again, this is exactly what the villager does with the helmet, so at this point in time, I think it is fair to say that Balloon Fighter is not going to be in Smash Bros Wii U/3DS.
I think s/he is referring to "elemental" air.
Well sometimes Sakurai gives moves to characters that didn't originally have them (or use much) as to be more true to their character.
I..uh...wut? You're joking, right?
I think he will, probably around November to December.
The only characters I definitely think are in the game is a FE Awakening character and Little Mac because of their stages. Unless Sakurai is that much of a troll and gives Punch-Out!! a stage without including the oh-so highly requested character from that series. If Sakurai doesn't include Little Mac and his reason is "he doesn't use his legs in combat" I'mma be pissed.
Well, Awakening (like many games) would get a stage even if we didn't have a character. Unlike Punch-Out which would not because it's such a dumb idea for a Smash stage. Although we can't "confirm" it's from Punch-Out.
I really think the boxing stage is helping Little Mac's chances, why do you the ring was included in the first place?
The thing is that Balloon Fighter is a different case from say Toad or Krystal. There is no concrete evidence (at this point) that either of the latter 2 are unplayable, but with Balloon Fighter, a character with virtually no relation (Villager) has taken the Balloon Fighters most iconic part in his/her moveset.
Yeah I do think that Little Mac is very likely too. I'm not too certain about an Awakening character but I certainly wouldn't be surprised if we did get Chrom or Robin or w/e.
Well I never said that he was very likely either. But knowing past experiences (characters like R.O.B., Ness and Toon Link where people were very confident wouldn't make it come to mind) It's for the best not to be too overconfident sometimes, especially when you are dealing with someone like Sakurai. But I do see where you are coming from. I don't think he is that likely either but I'm not sure if I should count him out 100%, really. That's what I meant.
My thoughts on R.O.B, Ness, and Toon Link are that they are essentially the same as Toad and Krystal. At the time of debate for each, there wasn't concrete evidence that they were out; Ness especially. There can be a different Toad (blue or regular), Toon Link is still incredibly important to his series, as is Ness, and R.O.B was the wtf historical of the game, so it makes sense that nobody predicted him.
Well we can think characaters are shoo-ins, but I can almost guarantee in any situation that at least one of the characters we generally think are guarantees are not going to show up. Little Mac is definitely one of those characters that many would agree is a shoo-in, based on what has happened up to this point. I would be very surprised if hes not in.
Yah. R.O.B. was mainly counted out because the subspace enemies made everyone believe that he wouldn't be playable. Ness was mostly counted out because many people believe he was replaced by Lucas and Toon Link.... Well yeah I'm pretty sure you still remember his ordeal.
How do you make those "joins the battle" type pictures?
Wise choice. I'll do likewise.
Interesting, at the very least.
SMASH NEADS MOAR FEMAELS I APPORVE!!
Balloon fighter is definitely more iconic.
Yah, can't argue with that. Balloon kid is certainly more on the obscure side. Balloon fighter certainly had more appearances throughout the years (Although most of them were cameo's).
A third Mother character is unlikely, and if it happens, it may be Porky.What do you think of masked mans chances .. i love him and want him in but idk about it ever comeing true
That does remind me. I have yet to download Balloon Kid off the 3DS eShop, I haven't even finished Mole Mania yet.... I wouldn't mind if we got a few more characters from the Game Boy generation (or Nintendo handheld games as a whole really) playable in Smash.
If we get a new Mother character, it's going to be Porky. He's a villain, doesn't use PSI, has a GOD DAMN MECH, and has appeared in EarthBound and Mother 3, so it balances out.What do you think of masked mans chances .. i love him and want him in but idk about it ever comeing true
It's a bit on the short side (might be around, if not a little bit shorter than Super Mario Land). The difficulty curve is perfectly balanced IMO.
Not really iconic as Balloon Fighter, as she's pretty obscure in the west, pretty simple.
