It's getting better, but still disorganized in some parts.fixed it
Toon Link didn't have to be entirely, or even notably different from Link to be included, did he? Toon Zelda was planned previously, even if just for fluff Sakurai obviously was fine giving her a semi-cloned moveset, so even if you have trouble picturing it, he doesn't, and that's what matters. It's not always all about being original and dissimilar. In fact oftentimes a character's chances increase because they aren't original and because they are similar, despite what Sakurai has said. He's added clones (or semi-clones) in each game so far. Maybe he won't this time, but it's not like there's no precedent.
But that character is still Toon Zelda, Tetra is just a facet of her. She's not the main form, and even if less original Toon Zelda still has the edge over Tetra due to overall larger impact to the series, plus the fact that she was planned, and yes, even being a relatively easy potential clone is a boon for her. Obviously there's a more than decent chance she might transform into Tetra, but we're not going to get the transformation without the default. We wouldn't get Sheik without getting Zelda.
Switch Tharja with Chrom if you'd like (Which I wouldn't), and try and tell me this isn't the best Nintendo Only roster?
Nuh uh! Looking at Sakurai's quote he only hinted that his speed would be an issue, he never said anything about size.
People like flamboyant men, apparently.
I guess I should get a support thread cracking...
You have clearly never seen this fanbase before.
Oh, I know what's going on with all these support threads. I was just trying to make an indirect "If you make a Yuga support thread you're a ****ing idiot" hint.
Someone is eventually going to make it, then quickly get buried under everything else.
Yeah, I was joking.
I like it :D ,the only thing that I don't like is Mach Rider and,I like the inclusion of Toad,you are a true supporter.
Up until this point, you we're being subtle.
A Mario clone/semi-clone using stuff from Mario Paint...clever idea, actually.You guys realize that all painting characters are copying Mario?
I really like this one. I appreciate including five Mario reps (Toad specifically earns points from me), four Donkey Kong reps, everyone from Brawl, and possible DLC.
I don't understand why Toad supporters have lost faith. Sakurai posts one image of Peach using Toad as a neutral special and people keep believing in him. Sakurai posts a picture of that a second time and everyone thinks Toad is deconfirmed. That is nonsense.
It's basically Pyrosphere syndrome all over again...one thing shown/said, everything is instantly assumed. It's not that old and quite predictable.
"Up until now."
Thing is, the picture was shown on the release on Super Mario 3D World, which was probably the best time to showcase Toad as a newcomer. I think this was what demoralized the fanbase.
I was going to include Mii but tought the roster was too big already. For Zelda I can't think of any logical choice, Toon Zelda would be good because she could be a last-minute clone but there are better choices for that such as Roy or Dr. Mario. Toon Ganondorf or Classic Ganon? No.
Excuse me for being half asleep and not realizing the reference but...what?"Up until now."
This is what I have to say to such Toad supporters:
Lucas being revealed, "We've never gotten another character like Ness, up until now", people claiming Lucas replaced Ness because that was intentionally planned to begin with, mass hysteria ensues, later turns out to be worrying over nothing.
Sakurai said that when Lucas was shown on the Brawl Dojo.
Again, pardon me being half-asleep and not being able to remember a quote posted over 5 years ago on a site I rarely visited about a character I didn't really care for at the time. And trust me, I've heard enough stories from both you and others to know that it was bad, that doesn't need to be repeated.
How could you forget Repair Man Mario???
Well that particular situation is very historical in a sense, because it shows that you shouldn't look into things that aren't there. You should only believe in what you actually see, not what you merely think. Hence why the people believing that Ridley is a hazard are being way too rash over the whole thing, and should only believe it if it actually happens.
Sorry I'm too distracted by your profile pic. BEEEEEEWBSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
The only time that "recency" argument holds water is for series that cycles through many characters. Like Fire Emblem and Pokemon, which makes sense considering there are like hundreds of characters and you need some sort of method to boil down the choices. However it doesn't hold water for many series out there. Like Super Mario Bros., Metroid, and The Legend of Zelda for example.
