You know, I feel like most of the characters people want will likely end up as AT's or other Moves. Skull Kid just got his execution, after all...

...I just had amazing sushi and possibly the best dumplings I've ever had.
Sushi is amazing. I just had it last night and you are making me crave it again.

So we have mammals, reptiles, and birds represented in the cast but no amphibians or fish? Hmmmm....

Kind of like how Toad staying an attack equates to every veteran franchise newcomer worth a damn having no chance whatsoever to become playable, right? :smirk:

Magikarp confirmed. Splash is its Final Smash. It does 998% damage on its sourspot. Slippy is DLC, and he has Guile's Flash Kick as an Up Smash.

Of course. Toad is the most important character ever. None of those other guys can make it without him. We all know that. :p

I don't understand why people seem to think Skull Kid being an AT sucks or was somehow unexpected. I hopped of the "Skull Kid could be playable" train after Brawl came out. I'm honestly just happy he's even getting a small nod instead of nothing.

Anyways, in regards to a VGX prediction tomorrow:

Related to Smash: We either get a Reggii announcement or nothing.
Other games: My money is on Zelda for Wii U showing up.

I never had dumplings before, though I cook them alot in Dumpling Master:

My favorite minigame in the Legendary Starfy.

Really? It's a pretty common food in Chinese restaurants and take-out joints. Well, in the east coast of the United States anyway.

I love dumplings and sushi... I always eat them every time I eat out at Japanese and Chinese restaurants.

I eat at Japanese restraunts sometimes. Though I'll be willing to try one soon, but I don't really like squid.

Most I've seen are either made of beef or pork. I honestly doubt I'd ever try squid though.

He needs to try harder. He wasn't very convincing at all.

Alright, as far as topics go, I think I've got one. If you absolutely had to pick two Mario characters that were added to the roster, who would they be and why? Or, If you had to, would you pick another Duo type character like the Ice Climbers?

"I'll put Skull Kid on Toad's level if his species gets a recurring playable role in platformers and spinoffs."

Oooooh, told.

My god. That guy is an idiot. He should just save himself the disappointment. His logic is astounding. Of course, what else should be expected of GameFAQS?
Pretty sure he was trying to mock Toad and Ridley supporters.

-Toad
-either Bowser Jr. or Waluigi

Baby Mario Bros. (Yoshi series character)

Lucky...we don't have restaurants like that where I live. :c

Well, I'd obviously pick the Mario Bros, as they're basically inseparable. As for a second Duo character...Gods no.

Oh wow, that Gamefaqs guy made me sick to my stomach: Skull Kid is the 4th most important Zelda character behind the main "realistic" three?

Toon Link, Tetra, Impa, and Tingle say hi.

Oh, I should have worded that better. When I posted that I was thinking of adding characters in addition to the 4 Mario veterans that were already confirmed. Like adding being forced to add Waluigi and Rosalina, just as an example.

Though if we only had two Mario characters in total, Mario and Luigi would be the best choice.

Even Vaati would pop up and tell Skull Kid to check himself before he wrecks himself.

We can have 4 Marios on the stage so Skull Kid can be a playable fighter and an assist.... really?

Did he even understand that Sakurai literally said Skull Kid is not a new fighter? Because I'm fairly certain that means he will not be a new fighter.

You never know.. he'll do a WFT situation again
You need more than being surprising to get in. Wii Fit Trainer got in as a surprise, but she was already deserving. Dr. Kawashima is not. You can't just use people's reaction to a character as your basis for it's inclusion. That's just a stupid thing to do.

(Only less surprising)
Lol no.

The sheer fact that someone is an Assist Trophy confirms that they are not seen as someone who should be playable and their cameo as an Assist Trophy serves 0 purpose due to them being playable.

No. One game breaking character is enough.
Typical of a Smash fan to suggest removing or not adding a character rather than just simply fixing their problem.

Ah okay. Well, my choices are obviously Bowser Jr. and Paper Mario.

I feel like another duo character could work, but it takes away from what makes Ice Climbers unique, and with Sakurai looking for characters that bring new elements to the table and the 3DS's capabilities, I don't think we'll be getting one this time around.

Two Mario characters?

Toad and... hmm.... I really don't want anyone after Toad... (heck, I don't even want another Mario character period) but, just for the heck of it...
... ah screw it... Daisy. Bowser Jr.

Hey, quick insight!

You know what I could see happening soon? Reveal Snake, if of course he's in, which I don't really doubt. I could sense them revealing him sometime soon for some reason...

Wow. There is literally no effort or creativity put into this whatsoever. Just "Hey, I'm going to say something stupid!" and pretend this ingenious operation is actually going to convince others he is a perspicacious troll mastermind.

It's obviously an attempt at trolling, especially considering Sakurai outright de-confirmed Skull Kid's playability (and to say otherwise is foolishly delusional). It reminds me of not long ago when TheDivineDeity thought/trolled the idea Toon Link would be cut, right after his confirmation.

I'd obviously pick Toad and I guess Bowser Jr. as they're arguably the next most important Mario characters. I wouldn't be adverse to Waluigi instead of Bowser Jr. though.

Another Duo type character? Banjo-Kazooie is the only important one with Nintendo ties I can think of off the top of my head. Shame it's impossible.
You could make arguments for Baby Bros. or Plusle and Minun I guess. Are there many other famous duos that don't have at least one half of them already included in the Smash roster(like Diddy and Dixie or Sonic and Tails)?
