No. No. No....
Bowser doesn't exactly have a new style. He just got new animations and some new attacks, but the general feel of a bulky heavyweight character is still there.Expect what has been done before... You are a prime example of exactly that I want to prove wrong so badly.
No it was poorly executed in BOTH Brawl and Melee. Same like how Bowser's style obviously didn't work for him, and he got retooled as a result. Am I snapping you out of your comfort zone yet?
That time again.
Do you remember someone on there who went by LittleMac? cause that was me, I stopped going on around the same time brawl came out I think I checked back here and there but mostly I was part of the pre-brawl speculation stuff.
Um, this is towards me, right?Zelda is potentially already more unique with the Phantom attack than she ever was as Zelda / Sheik. Maybe not so in Melee, but definitely now! You said it removes something that makes her unique, I disagree fully. Zelda / Sheik was a reason to add the characters, but now Zelda has established herself as far more than her Ocarina of Time self. Her roles have became ever increasing, up to the point of getting playable herself, as Phantom Zelda.
Waluigi and Ridley are more hindered than Impa, cause unlike them, Impa could already use a base of an excisting character: Sheik. And replace her effectively. Waluigi also has almost nothing to base himself out of outside of a cluster**** of cameo apearance 'abilities' nobody really cares about, and Ridley is an extremely hard character to programm in the first place.
You may think it's stupid, but it happend before with Toon Link and Young Link. Even Mewtwo had a lot of his moves given to other characters. Take a good look at Charizard's Forward Tilt. Lucas's Down Smash. Lucario's Aura Sphere and Forward Smash. Wolf's Forward Aerial. Make your own conclusion out of that. Ike getting Eruption to despite never showing fire abilities...
Yet you insist it would be THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING EVER as so many around here do.
Most of you rely purely on some sort of psuedo logic saying : 'Expect what has been done' and sorry, I don't roll that way.
It are buffs and overall redirections of their characters. Sheik's removal would be a redirection of Zelda's style.
It's still possible to balance Zelda and Sheik so that they complement each other, by retooling both movesets. It's a possibility and what I think Sakurai may be aiming for.
Additionally, Diddy expects Impa, an old bodyguard. So Toadsworth makes just as much sense with his logic. Except Toadsworth would be unique.
So 
forever!
Lucina serves a subpoena? I don't know.
Well, I believe that in Hyrule Historia, they stated Impaz was originally supposed to be an incarnation of Impa, but that aspect was removed last-second. And I believed that Purlo was originally "a redesigned incarnation of Tingle" as well, but I don't have the book with me at the moment. My only point was that you said they excluded him from Twilight Princess, yet he made a semi-appearance.Based off yeah. Fact is, he's not remotely as creepy as Tingle, and neither does he resemble him greatly in his personality. He's also a character who's only the host of a mini game series so... Hardly relevant.
In that sence, Impaz counts as a Impa appearance to.
This is a point I very much agree with, though I don't bring it up frequently. People frequently cite Tingle's "hatebase" (I hate that word) as a reason for his exclusion, but from a marketing point of view, Tingle would actually be a great addition. After a couple of legitimate newcomer reveals, a reveal of Tingle would be pretty controversial and stir up the same kind of word-of-mouth that Wii Fit Trainer did on her initial announcement. Whether you love him or hate him, it can't be denied that Tingle would get people talking about Smash 4 in a way that few characters could.
I will agree with this. The hatebase (Which I am a part of) gives Tingle lots of publicity, which does go in his favor...
Nah, my memory pertaining to other users is mostly clouded, it's a long time ago. I myself also left once Brawl was out. Btw, you remind me that Geno was also ahead of Ridley in popularity.
I believe that, if a character like Tingle was introduced, Smash would be getting a lot of attention. Think back to VGX. Although everyone was heavily disappointed by Cranky Kong's official reveal, it was the most popular thing at that awards show. Cranky Kong trended on Google for at least a day or so. Now, imagine TINGLE, a rather hated character in the West, appear. Smash Bros. would get so much attention, everybody would be talking about it. Casuals, hardcores, even Xbox fans would be talking about Tingle.
It's not even a solution to Zelda's problems.
Geno was like, number one in popularity, right? Or almost.
Peach & Rosalina.
He was ahead of everyone not named Sonic yes, at least on Brawl Central. The fanbase itself wasn't too big to begin with, especially because SMRPG was kind of a cult classic and still is, but it quickly grew as the supporters were quick to win over other people with Geno's great potential. Many of the supporters had never even played SMRPG before. I was never a supporter, I was neutral on his inclusion, but I'll be damned if Geno doesn't have great potential. It's too bad that he's an impossibility.
Rosalina had gravity-based attacks going for her, so what does Impa have that Sheik doesn't? :o
Diddy, I really like you and all, but come on.
Barrier attack, magic, a long sword, actual fighting moves unlike Sheik?
Now that Sakurai HIMSELF said Rosalina has gravity-based attacks, you name it as an ability, but did you actually do so before? I think not. Before, Rosalina would be a semi-clone of Peach according to everyone.
I was late to the Geno hype train. So I have no idea why people like him so much. Haven't played Super Mario RPG myself, but I've seen an LP of it. He seems like a cool character and all. But not one I would go out of my way to support heavily. Maybe if Nintendo ever used him again, which might not happen since they'd have to get him back from Square Enix. I rather have Paper Mario as the RPG character.
Cool, Zelda, Sword is overdone, What? Since when is it a bad thing for a character in Smash to have attacks that are not usually associated with fighting? Come on, most characters added have zany movesets centered around their games, and they work very well in a fighting game. I suppose you don't like Villager and Wii Fit Trainer?Barrier attack, magic, a long sword, actual fighting moves unlike Sheik?
Sheik didn't do ****, and got a moveset. C.Falcon and Fox similary. Fact is that Impa has far more going on for her than Sheik ever did when it comes to fighting potential.Cool, Zelda, Sword is overdone, What?

And I knew you would bring up the barrier.
It's the only truly interesting move that Impa possesses.
I actually stated it before that "galaxy physics, her wand, and gravity" could be involved with her moveset before she was revealed.Barrier attack, magic, a long sword, actual fighting moves unlike Sheik?
Fair enough. Although there is no denying that Impa can very well end up very similar to Sheik.
Don't go just yet. We can talk about.....uh, Waluigi? Maybe Samurai Goroh, he could work.
Then let's just wait for Hyrule Warriors and see what Impa will bring to the table there?
Barrier, possibly a Deku Nut, shadow abilities as invinsibility / **** you can make out for being Sage of Shadows, and ninja weapons in general (as shown in her Ocarina of Time design) could already make up for quite a moveset, with it's own gimmicks.
He's only been in one game, yet I remember him. Maybe he can be Samus' Robin one day....Anthony Higgs is better black guy.
You go genius! So we don't need grabbing moves either as command grabs, because every character can already do grabs! We don't need charge up attacks either, cause every character can already charge up their Smash attacks! We should say good bye to third jumps to while we are at it! We already have a jumping button right? TWO IN FACT!?
Ooh now you finally gave something that could be unique, maybe give her the ability to hid in the shadows like Metaknight to surprise opponents. Now you got me interested.Then let's just wait for Hyrule Warriors and see what Impa will bring to the table there?
Also, Louie G, I don't like the Villager, but I do like Wii Fit Trainer.
