What if the Pikmin Chain extended 2x the length (The Pikmin get stretched to twice as big) so at least you can reach the edge?
Tiny and annoying-yes
For me...Olimar = Smash Attacks party!
No falcos or wolf mains?
True. Although Olimar has a huge weakness of being able to be killed very quickly but he still has an annoying grab game and really good smash attacks to cover that weakness and the fact that his Down B gives him super armor could also prevent offstage gimps.
I guess it doesn't help that people are much more pessimistic this time around.
That's right. There's also this unspoken mentality that, because a few unlockable veterans became promotions and because Wii Fit Trainer exists, "everything is out the window and nothing is the same and we can't predict anything anymore and there are no shoo-ins and potato." While pre-SSB4 is bound to have its differences from pre-Brawl and pre-Melee by virtue of it being a new game, the very fact that said new game is a mixture between its two predecessors ought to be indication enough that similarities will exist within this period as well. I fully expect this to become apparent to the forum's Chicken Littles once we get confirmation of even one more newcomer.
Bad comparison, considering Wii Fit Trainer doesn't use anything relating to boxing.
Aside from Doc Louis, exercise equipment, and allusions to other boxers' attacks, Little Mac can also have a Heart mechanic to compliment the Star mechanic. Basically, the way most people seem to interpret it, Little Mac gains stars that power up his Star Uppercut by playing with competent offense, interrupting attacks and landing his own. The Heart mechanic would weaken Little Mac if he gets clobbered horribly during a match, and require him to successfully dodge enemy attacks to get back to full strength.
I agree with you to an extent. I mostly wanted to ask you a question, why do some users use the term "shoo-in"? I do not understand, I was under the impression that the term was "shoe-in", as in the character has their feet in the hypothetical door. Just a question.
I believe the correct term is 'shoo-in,' as in, someone or something is being 'shooed' or ushered into a certain position because of qualification for it. Most Google searches I've done seem to agree, though it's largely a matter of preference in the end.
It really depends, Yoga is derived from Hinduism, but it is more spiritual and religious. The Yoga that Wii Fit Trainer does is the westernized version, so it would be correct to assert that Yoga is western in this context. I honestly don't think that Little Mac needs a mechanic, Smash could use a character that can actually fight in their...
It was more like including something nobody expected, and providing a character with a unique playstyle. I recall it was more of a "dancing" vibe, and he thought that was good enough for inclusion. Contrary to what people will say, sales have never been mentioned for influence.
I honestly feel as though Wii Fit Trainer was actually an ideal choice in his perspective. In hindsight, she did contribute a lot to Nintendo and she will probably continue to do so with Wii Fit games. The popularity of the game is a little under-rated. Hypothetically speaking, she should have been fairly obvious. Incorporating Yoga might have been stretching it, but I don't think she was a joke character. I think he was trying to elicit surprise, not make people angry. I do not believe that this entails that he is going to go over board or pick random characters. I think it was just something special.
There is absolutely no reason for him to clarify or elaborate on his intentions, especially in regards to something so minute. It does advocate senseless speculation, but at the same time, I feel like the 3rd party statement was actually warranted to address and prevent certain misconceptions. He didn't want Namco's involvement with the game to be misconstrued. That being said, it is somewhat given. Of course, some people would prefer to hear it from him, but it is unnecessary.
We should be more aware of more Nintendo series that really don't take a form of violence, like some of the Touch Generation games on the DS. A few of those kind could get a character.
Yes, yes, we know all about Kawashima.
Me!
I guess there is a chance,
Please no.
Quite an unlikely scenario, as he wouldn't want to disappoint any of his fans, even for a character like Nintendog.
Always want the cool characters with cool powers eh..
It does certainly set the precedent. Sora Ltd. reveals Villager AND Wii Fit Trainer during E3 time? BluePikmin could actually be on to something. A Smash character doesn't need to be a Little Mac or a Mewtwo. The character can be something non-violent. Smash is a party game after all. He is also emphasizing DS games as a theme for the 3DS version of the game. I think it would be fallacious to dismiss the notion of another non-violent character joining the fray. I am not insinuating that all newcomers will be non-violent, but the chances of one more? I think they are fairly high.
