which of his aerial moves was inspired by CQC? Aerials if i recall correctly being a huge part of smash? If anyone missed the CQC inspiration, i'm the last person on that list. I'd love to know what move inspired that down aerial. he barely had any CQC in his moveset, they tributed his basic staple moves and then instead of expanding on it, moved on to digging up explosives and using mortars for smash attacks ffs.

yes my second point was subjective. but is it also inaccurate? solid snake is not the demo man. we all know sakurai and the brawl team designed him to be 'nonlethal' because they didn't want to portray guns in the game, but i know i'm not the only person who thinks flashbangs, guns butts, tranqs, and blank magazines would have been a cool character to play as well? if bomberman were added instead of snake do you think he'd not have any of those explosive moves?

this isn't an attack on Snake by any means. I'm simply looking at possible reasons he wouldn't return. It'd be a stretch if i said 'sakurai is working with namco now, they have a habit of only having guest characters appear once in soul caliburs. cuts confirmed.' the reasons for which i can think of him staying past he was in the last one are few and far between. the reasons for him to not appear just seem more numerous without bias.

if he returned with a more CQC focused moveset and maybe some more emphasis on his character as a weapons expert as opposed to [Down and Uptilt wut?] a demoman which is how he comes across.

I was referring to his ground moves when i mentioned CQC. I don't know how one would implement CQC in the air anyway.

Sakurai made Snake into a character who fit the Smash Style. Would guns and violence really fit the atmosphere? I'm not all that sure. If you think about it, explosives are a pretty decent alternative to guns anyway, so i dont thinn it really is as big a deal as you make it out to be.

But hey, to each his own.

You mean this guy? im pretty sure he doesnt count.


Btw, capcom cut megaman from marvel for "not being good in a fighting game", a terrible excuse considering he was already in a lot of fighting games, then in SFxT and now in smash. When they want a character to be bad, they do, is their weird definition of a "joke character".

even for people who advocate for sfxt things would never seem quite right. i know you know bad box art megaman was the incarnation in sfxt. he was completely different from any incarnation of megaman prior, even taking into consideration they were marvel cross over fighters. different mechanics. as beloved as he was, in mvc1 and 2, megaman could have been a better designed fighter. even in tvc when they started making everyone fit command archetypes [double direction, charge specials, command specials like qcf] volnutt did a better job.
it makes sense how they intergrated zero's repetoire in mvc and tvc making some of them his normals, some his specials and some his hyper combos. smash is doing this with megaman as well and it's great. really the most proper. in any fighter, megamans normals should mostly reference all of his stolen erm copied abilities. even if he has a three hit combo, it's more fitting for megaman to have for example Rolling cutter as the final hit or mega buster than just a punch punch kick. how they handled his grab is great.

i still would have loved to see a new marvel style megaman. theres a huge difference in the mechanics between marvel 2 and marvel 3, but the direction with which the characters were designed whether you like it or not, no one can deny that it has it's benefits

We're going around in circles, so allow me to bring up a new topic:

How would you feel if Floette was made playable? At first, it sounds ridiculous, but I thought about it, and I think it actually makes a lot of sense. I'd still much rather have Mewtwo return, but aside from that, Floette seems pretty solid to me.

let it be known, if you want a real challenge in melee, look for kylar kuro stern, he will kick your a** using one of the worst character's possible, that is how you know someone is good at the game

If Sakurai is near the point of only having to cut one veteran, let alone one of the easiest to make then why wouldn't he just tough it out and delay the game a week or month to put it in?

I was just poking fun at how you felt it necessary to say "it won't happen over and over again. I get your point, but there's always the possibility that he doesn't want to delay the game just go Jigglypuff.

i know you were referring to his ground moves when you mentioned cqc. i don't necessarily want the guns and violence as much as i want an accurate representation of Snake. For spacies and captain falcon, there wasn't much to pull from aside from their mercenaries and pilots. From that we got to radically different playstyles both focused on rushdown. A great example of a character with guns who doesn't manage to shoot is that autopilot Noel from BlazBlue. Tho huge magnums she fires at point blank range and slaps people with which she seemingly chooses not to shoot people full screen with. I'm not saying needs guns and blood necessarily, but something like a tranq, would that be too much? considering fox and falco's non lethal lasers is a tranq or a gun butt too violent, or anything else snake does that can be adapted for brawl. smash style is a rather broad term considering lasers, missiles plasma beams, ninjas with needles and falcon punches

btw mix rock and ninja. rock is a silly silly silly stupid power. it was best in kirby 3

I never said that I was the only one, I just said that I was probably one of the people who laughed the hardest. mainly because it kept reminding me of this video.(WARNING, there is quite a bit of cussing)

I wouldn't choose another Metroid character if Ridley did not get in.

If I had to choose I'd pick Anthony Higgs (the guy who no one remembers) or Dark Samus.
