Roster Prediction Discussion Thread

Miis are important Wii history.
Done.
Just because you don't think a character would be interesting doesn't make them any less likely.

I didn't say they weren't interesting, quite the opposite actually. But they really aren't very likely, hence there are a lot of characters in Nintendo games whom are more likely to be included, and would actually blend in.

The priority list Sakurai did back in Brawl, deciding which characters should be done first and last.

Can you please post this priority list in order. Because I don't believe a copy of it has ever been released to the public. Only the assumption that they were low priority because they had no role in SSE. Which means nothing about their priority as a playable character, but rather their priority of significance to a completely different mode of the game. I guess Mewtwo was pretty low priority. He wasn't even in Adventure Mode in Melee.

I understand PilotWings, but the rest were more like side games that you'd buy to play with a family.

Says you. As if that even matters. Wii Fit was more like an exercise app and ROB was more like not even a ****ing game. So what exactly is your point?

Also notice the title Wii in all of them, showing they were along side the console, not independent games.

What does that even mean? How are they not independent games? Was Mario Kart Wii not an independent game? I also don't remember Nintendo Land having the word Wii in it. And they were the star of that game.

You really need to come up with a valid excuse to your Mii bias otherwise you're really just posting a bunch of bull crap.

R.O.B. is important Famicom history.

Like Louie G. said: Miis are important to Wii, Wii U, and 3DS history. They are important to Nintendo and it's future. They're like secondary mascots of the company and it's consoles.

But they really aren't very likely, hence there are a lot of characters in Nintendo games whom are more likely to be included, and would actually blend in.

Until you come up with an actual valid reason why. I say you are wrong.

 

[TrainerLITTLER]

Trainer, I'm not sure you really understand the impact of Wii Sports on the gaming community.
It is the best selling game of all time.
It revolutionized motion controls.
Those two factors alone make Miis worthy, but there is a lot more.

Wii Sports alone didn't define motion controls, the world is still very much defining them as we speak. And just because Zelda sold so much doesn't mean it put Link in the game. Nor Mario, Donkey Kong, Samus, Fox, Kirby, or anyone else.

Here's a secret: That's WHY it sold so well.

 

[SuperBrawler]

Here's a secret: That's WHY it sold so well.

Wow, I guess I was being pretty obvious.

 

[BluePikmin11]

I do remember seeing a list of characters shown in a very neat table on one wiki, let me go look for it.

 

[TrainerLITTLER]

Wii Sports sold good on the Wii? Mine CAME with my Wii.

That's why the game sold so well, the Wii sold over 100 million or something around that. But it was bundled from the beginning. They didn't bundle it because it sold well, and people didn't go out and buy it because they wanted to. They had no choice.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

And just because Zelda sold so much doesn't mean it put Link in the game. Nor Mario, Donkey Kong, Samus, Fox, Kirby, or anyone else.

Games sell well for a reason.

 

[SuperBrawler]

So, if LoZ didn't sell well, Link wouldn't be in Smash?

 

[TrainerLITTLER]

Here's a secret: That's WHY it sold so well.

100 million people didn't go buy a console because a game was sold with it. They bought the console that happened to have a game with it.

 

[Seraphim.]

So, if LoZ didn't sell well, Link wouldn't be in Smash?

He would still be in because sales don't even matter all too much.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Wii Sports sold good on the Wii? Mine CAME with my Wii.

I love to burst your bubble, but that wasn't really you. It was a Mii that looked like you.

Why is this relevant? Are you still desperately trying to come up with reasons why Miis are bad and unimportant? Because you are failing miserably.

 

[TrainerLITTLER]

My point, they put Link in for a reason, not sales.

I never said Mii's were bad or unimportant, I think the opposite. I just think they aren't the most likely.

 

[SuperBrawler]

My point, they put Link in for a reason, not sales.

They have a ton of reasons to put Mii in anyway.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

I just think they aren't the most likely.

But, why?

 

[TrainerLITTLER]

But, why?

Go re-read what I've actually said. There are a lot of other characters who are more deserving (Not saying Mii's aren't) and would fit in better.

 

[Shorts]

Here's a secret: That's WHY it sold so well.

No, it would have sold well even if it didn't come with the Wii. Remember the Wii catered to all people, not just gamers. My grandma has the Wii. Wii Fit, Wii Sports, and Just Dance are her jams.

 

[LoneKonWolf]

hey mates, whats the topic? mii?
personally I hate the idea of mii being in the game, someone's going to exploit the customization factor to troll us all, along with that if miis are customizable, that probably means the actual characters will not, and I want a customizable link
though I can't doubt how likely they are, they certainly have a chance, one that is bigger than a lot of other characters

[GmanSir]

If anything, Miis are more important/deserving to be in over Ice Climbers, regardless if I even want them. They are pretty much the face of the Wii. The fact that their games aren't core doesn't mean anything. So what if they are mindless minigame side games? Look at WarioWare and Wii Fit.

 

[Bowserlick]

Mii's really could just have the face as customizable.

Remember the 3DS might have a feature to make every character have some sort of customization (I think Sakurai mentioned changing the direction of the move).

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

As for Mii's being playable, I'm down with it. They are important to Nintendo and would offer for an interesting experience. Mii Parade as an FS would be sick. Though move of stay customization would be horrid and confusing. Just let people customize their appearance.

I'd prefer them as an Assist though, personally.

 

[LoneKonWolf]

Remember the 3DS might have a feature to make every character have some sort of customization (I think Sakurai mentioned changing the direction of the move).

I would really like that . . . . . . Make It Happen Sakurai!

 

[Shorts]

I just saw the pic of the day. I swear to god it cats aren't an AT I'll end my life. Sakurai, you love cats.

 

[Bowserlick]

If Mii is in the game, I just do not understand why Villager has a bowling ball. The bowling game of Wii sports was the best.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Mii's really could just have the face as customizable.

Remember the 3DS might have a feature to make every character have some sort of customization (I think Sakurai mentioned changing the direction of the move).

Customization for every single character would probably take 45x longer than just giving Miis the true customization.

Changing the move direction as in buttons pressed or what?

 

[Autumn ♫]

Or he'll just have a picture of his cat hanging somewhere in the game again.

 

[Gunla]

Judging by from what I missed, we got into an arguement over our logic and reasoning, which, as usual, comes back to newcomers and why everyone else is wrong.

In my thoughts, Mii is slowly getting itself more and more likely. I hate having Miis in, but if it's in, I simply just won't ever use it. There's a lot more evidence that's pointing towards an inclusion somehow, I'm not denying it. Whether they are fully playable or they appear in another way is becoming a bit more likely. There's other characters I'd love to see more than them, but I'm just one guy, and if they have them, I'll suck it up and be fine with it.

 

[TrainerLITTLER]

If Mii is in the game, I just do not understand why Villager has a bowling ball. The bowling game of Wii sports was the best.

This is an example of why they may not make it. Villager has a Balloon Fighter UP B, boxing gloves for Little Mac and a bowling ball for Wii Sports. Villager got the Nintendo related moves and is, an a way, already the Mii.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Or he'll just have a picture of his cat hanging somewhere in the game again.

I'd like to see Sakurai's cat in one of the cracked holes in Pyrosphere.

 

[Bowserlick]

Being able to change the Villager's face to a Mii face would work.

 

[Gunla]

I'd like to see Sakurai's cat in one of the cracked holes in Pyrosphere.

Better yet, the Stage Hazard is a giant, evil flying purple cat.

 

[TrainerLITTLER]

I'd like to see Sakurai's cat in one of the cracked holes in Pyrosphere.

According to Masahiro, Ridley is meant to come out of one of those holes, probably a boss like Yellow Devil and Dark Lord.

 

[SuperBrawler]

I have no idea why some people are down with Miis.

 

[Bowserlick]

Changing the move direction as in buttons pressed or what?

Here is the translated quote from Sakurai.

“We’re planning for a level of customization to some degree and in some form,” Sakurai acknowledged. “It’s not completely decided at this point. But it’s very important to point out that we do this in a careful way that doesn’t affect the strength and balance of the characters. One thing we’d like to do is to be able to customize the direction of attacks. But not give characters a stronger jump or a stronger or weaker attack. You can consider customizations like that possible.”

 

[Gunla]

I'm not down with it. If it happens, there's nothing we can really do, I'm just accepting that that's what happens.

So you aren't really sure either? Well, I recall him Tweeting a pic of Ken from Street Fighter using moves, and it showed both hit-boxes and diagonal moves. Sakurai said he found it useful in some way.

 

[BluePikmin11]

I'm down with it because they are actually pretty important figures to Nintendo.
Personally I don't really like the Miis, just giving them customization would make them at least interesting.
With the Little-Pac-Mii "leak" in addition, I'm extremely confident we'll get the Miis as playable.
