Ugh. Sometimes it even takes more than one attempt to "like" a post for me.. at least sometimes it takes much longer than it should.

Anyway-

I wonder what would happen if I gave a Mega Mushroom to Ridley?
Seeing as how Mega Mushrooms are already microscopic to Ridley, he'd probably end up eating a few uninetionally and keep growing bigger until the entire universe is microscopic to him.

The spinoffs are a large part of the Mario series, Walufi could perfectly represent that.
But in case he doesn't represent spinoffs, there is always the brawl in the family fan service.

Ridley would become proportionally 'too big' for the television screen to even appropriately handle, and thus provide even more ammunition for the absolutely-logical explanations against Ridley's inclusion, due to his size factor. It will rival the "Villager's Net" arguments.

Well, I suppose those are my over-used Ridley jokes for the week.

Assuming Dixie Kong only shares the Peanut Pogun/Feather Bow/ Bubble Shoot, Monkey Flip, and Banana Peel. But, had Hair moves and a Guitar Final Smash, would she take as much time as King K. Rool? I don't think she would because These are atttacks that are easier to come up with and execute, she's a much smaller model, and she shares similarities with Diddy.

If Ridley is so big, why not just make "Ridley's Head" a character.

I can't believe this is a Brawl hack. :joyful:
Never underestimate the power of the internet.

No, if Dixie makes it, she would definitely be a last minute semi-clone in the vein of Wolf, due to her being very easy to make.
I'd prefer if she didn't use the Banana Peel though. That would king of take away from what made Diddy unique.

I mean like, Diddy was a very annoying character, but in a great, fun way.
Banana peels really helped that. Dixie I see being unique because of her abilities with her ponytail, not being annoying.
He'll never be as annoying as this guy:

The artistic brilliance and expressive imagination of this aesthetically-pleasing masterpiece would rival Pablo Picasso.
It's breathtaking.


In all seriousness, though, let us not instigate anymore conflicts for the sake of amusement.

Here is a good topic,
Who is the most overrated potential newcomer.

I'd say Geno.
Geno actually has potential left (as a newcomer)?

To be fair, Ganondorf is a thing. Sakurai might do it.
At the same time, Ganondorf was a case of "it had to be" given the situation on why he was a clone to begin with.
On the hypothetical on Rosalina's appearance in Smash, if she's saved as one of the lower-priority Newcomers like Toon Link and Wolf in Brawl, then yeah, she'd probably be copying Peach somehow. If not, she won't.

YoshiAndToad said:
I dunno Golden. For Waluigi sure, but can anyone see Daisy as being the next big Mario rep?
At this present point in time, no. Seems Nintendo is all for milking the Rosalina cow at the moment. :troll:

MorbidAltruism said:
Yes, potential would seem to allude to an arbitrary conclusion. I mean someone could see potential in characters like Diskun. So it doesn't really mean much. It helps, but it isn't absolute.
Exactly.

If you were to just flatten mario, you'd get a character that does not look like or move like paper mario. As professional developers, they wouldn't let that happen.
Paper mario's proportions are vastly different, and because of the nature of being a 2D character, his animations would also be very different.

Paper mario would be a hard character to simply clone. They would have to start from scratch. Given that circumstance, I see Paper Mario only being added towards the middle of development where they have the time to do it right.
-No one said just flatten Mario. I've already brought up that it would a case like Toon Link where the body proportions (mainly in the legs like T. Link) would be different. However, with that in mind, using a perma-2D filter with said proportions is essentially what Paper Mario would be.

-Animations being "different" =/= not a clone. Aside from that, the animations don't need to change by much except for things like how he runs and a minimal Toon Link altercation of some unfeasible kicking moves. Even as a 2D character, he has shown to move his own body in a 3D plane (and I'm not referring to Super Paper Mario's gimmick).
It would essentially be a series of sprites recreating the motions. Though probably through less frames to make the animations less "smooth" (but not to the extent of Mr. Game & Watch or Wario) to give it more of a "natural" Paper Mario feel.

I mean, I look at this, and I see just a few tweaks that need to be made (other than altering the moves to not literally just be Mario's).

KingShadow said:
Oh, she's leagues ahead of Walunimportant. At least she appeared in a main game. If Walunimportant wants a spot, he's at least gonna need to be a star of a spin-off.
Oh yippe, more "main game" bull****.
Because apparently, only the platforming adventure games mean anything despite all of them being spin-offs of your everyday endless arcade "see how long you survive" game.
Which in turn is a spin-off of a game about a carpenter climbing to the top of a construction site to get to an ape.

This may come as a mind**** to you, but all Mario games are spin-offs. Yeah, hard to grasp, ain't it?
And you're using Daisy's one-time Peach rip-off role as support?
That same role being from a handheld spin-off of the "main" Super Mario Bros. franchise?
Face it; Daisy is just as bad as Waluigi. Perhaps even worse because she was just "Peach Recolor" until she got retooled into a hot-blooded tomboy using another character's design.

You see this girl? Her name is Azalea. She existed before Daisy was redesigned into what we see now.
At least Waluigi, while being uninspired in design, managed to be noticeably different right from the start.

King Shadow again said:
FYI, Walunimportant can't have a move set unless you give him spin-off items. In other words, Daisy and Walunimportant have equal move set potential.
-Ability to swim through the air. (Various)
-Can spawn purple thorns both as a wall and a whip. (Strikers Charged)
-Can teleport in purple puffs of smoke. (Strikers Charged)
-Can conjure up tornadoes to imbed into objects. (Power Tennis, Hoops 3-on-3)
-Can box; but cheats by kicking and elbow strikes. (Game & Watch Gallery 4)
-Has his own brand of missiles dubbed "Whisker Missiles" that are shaped like his nose. (Arcade GP DX)

Those are things he personally has for him for a moveset among other things.
But pray tell, can you point out to me exactly where Luigi's and Peach's "moveset potential" allowed them to have **** like the "Green Missile" and "Peach Bomber"?
I'd get into full detail about Peach herself if I wasn't holding up dinner right now.
