Roster Prediction Discussion Thread

[Louie G.]

Do you think Mii will be a playable character? Why? Yes, because Miis are gaming icons and important to Nintendo's history.
Do you want Mii to be a playable character? Why? I am indifferent. I will never use them, but I understand why they are there.
Do you think the Pilotwings stage and Find Mii stage signify anything? Why? Yes, every character should get a home stage.
Do you think Mii would create problems online? What are those problems and how big would they be? Not a lot, just a lot of people who want to play as themselves. I never run into anything vulgar when playing Mario Kart.
Do you think Mii can have a fun and interesting moveset? Why? I think that the Miis will have a generic kitchen-sink moveset, because that's what made them famous: casual sport and party games. I feel that the customization gimmick is enough to make up for a boring moveset though.
Do you believe in the Little Pac Miis rumor? Why? Yes, because Wii Fit Trainer.
Did you think Mii had a good chance of being in before the rumor? Why? Yes, because Miis are very important Nintendo characters.

You're right, that was fun.

I have the best roster.

I'm not sure if you're blatantly taking my roster or if you're suggesting it's the best one out there.

Thanks I guess??

Are you implying i'm a theif? How dare you! I should get my bandanna buddies on you!

Let's try this questionnaire!
Do you think Mii will be a playable character? Why?

Somewhat. He/She is a very iconic, deserving, and important character.

Do you want Mii to be a playable character? Why?

I suppose so. It'd be kind of cool. Like having ROB.

Do you think the Pilotwings stage and Find Mii stage signify anything? Why?

Pilotwings no. Find Mii, yes. I don't think he'd add it if not for Mii, but then again he might have.

Do you think Mii would create problems online? What are those problems and how big would they be?

No. Everyone playing as Mii wouldn't be an issue because unlike Mario Kart they have their own moves and abilities. What your Mii's name is or what they look like shouldn't matter.

Do you think Mii can have a fun and interesting moveset? Why?

Yes, they have plenty of source material, but then again it's not all unique and there is so much of it that most might be considered insignificant.

Do you believe in the Little Pac Miis rumor? Why?

I believe he is in the game, but not Pac-Man

Did you think Mii had a good chance of being in before the rumor? Why?

Yes. For the above reason.

Don't think so.

Why?

 

[Louie G.]

Well, there's 2 holes, Sakurai said he might appear at any minute, the hole seems rather small from the distance of the only shot with characters (But that might be an illusion), one hole which wasn't originally there is conveniently shaped like his head.

What should I assume?

That these are the same arguments that we've been over for months now.
I don't know why they are coming to your attention now.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Because I've never heard anyone debate it yet. Just "yes he is" or "no he's not"

Or at least I haven't heard anyone explain why this doesn't necessarily make him a stage hazard.

Get to it.

These questionnaires are fun actually...

Expect others like this soon.


Don't think so.

I like this idea!
1- There's a chance, it seems that people won't ever give up about it. Give me a solid arguement and then I will decide.
2-

Never get old of using this.
3-No, not really. They are just variety!
4-Yes, it's called World War II and Michael Jackson. They will get big and annoying.
5-Fun? No. Interesting? Possibly.
6- "Always believe rumors are false." ESPECIALLY a rumor that keeps changing it's story!
7- I don't think the rumor changed it's chances. So yes.

I mean, there's a big chance that he is.
(Get it?)
But you seemed pretty sure a few days back that he wasn't.

I still am. I'm just trying to see if anyone can convince me otherwise.

Here's the problem with Ridley being a stage hazard: Yellow Devil and the Dark Emperor (Find Mii monster) were both revealed alongside their respective stages. Ridley, however, is nowhere to be seen even though we've gotten a ton of of Pyrosphere pics and even video footage in the Rosalina trailer. Why not showcase him when you've done so with two other stage hazard monsters?

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Your reaction to: No Mii, No Takamaru, No Ridley, No Pac-Man, No King K. Rool, No Palutena, No Issac?

 

[Louie G.]

Your reaction to: No Mii, No Takamaru, No Ridley, No Pac-Man, No King K. Rool, No Palutena, No Issac?

No Mii: Meh.
No Takamaru: As long as I get a good retro I'll be okay.
No Ridley: This is expected more than the others. I'll be upset, but it's something I can get over and I'll just support Ridley for Smash 5.
No Pac-Man: Meh.
No K. Rool: Pissed, especially if we don't get another DK character.
No Palutena: Pissed.
No Isaac: Never expected him anyway. Although I like him.

 

[JamesDNaux]

Your reaction to: No Mii, No Takamaru, No Ridley, No Pac-Man, No King K. Rool, No Palutena, No Issac?

Thank god, meh, wat, alright, WHAT, meh, alright

Super simplified response.

 

[Gunla]

Your reaction to: No Mii, No Takamaru, No Ridley, No Pac-Man, No King K. Rool, No Palutena, No Issac?

Yay, Meh, Meh, Meh, Meh,

, Meh.

That's really not a good reason.

 

[Fire Emblemier]

Your reaction to: No Mii, No Takamaru, No Ridley, No Pac-Man, No King K. Rool, No Palutena, No Issac?

What are the other newcomers, then?

Because Sakurai works in his own way.

 

[AncientTobacco]

That's really not a good reason.

Well ok. I just don't see the point in dragging out a stage hazard reveal.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Okay, fixed my 45 character roster.

Activating PSI Flame Sheild!

 

[TrainerLITTLER]

Why not drag it out? Creates hype and doesn't crush the dreams of those who want him until they have other reasons to get the game.

 

[Gunla]

I'd bark about the lack of Palutena over Lip, but that won't get me anywhere.
9/10 for no Brawl Cuts + Mewtwo.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Well ok. I just don't see the point in dragging out a stage hazard reveal.

I don't see the point in half the things Sakurai does, so...

What are the other newcomers, then?

Little Mac, Mega Man, Villager, Rosalina, Dixie Kong, Vaati, Lip, Wii Fit Trainer, Roy, Mewtwo.

 

[Shorts]

No Mii: sad.
No Takamaru: meh.
No Ridley: Not suprised
No Pac-Man: Oh no. *eyeroll*
No K. Rool: Lame.
No Palutena: Real Lame.
No Isaac: I don't really mind. At all.

 

[CrusherMania1592]

Your reaction to: No Mii, No Takamaru, No Ridley, No Pac-Man, No King K. Rool, No Palutena, No Issac?

Mii: I'll get over and support it for Smash 5
Takamaru: Disappointed, but as long as we get a good retro, I won't fully complain
Ridley: If it happens, it happens. The arguments will continue to Smash 5
Pac-Man: I don't give a damn. After what I'm seeing with one user on IGN, I don't want Pac-Man in
K Rool: Pissed, but wouldn't complain if Dixie gets in
Palutena: Pissed
Isaac: Pissed

 

[Gunla]

Little Mac, Mega Man, Villager, Rosalina, Dixie Kong, Vaati, Lip, Wii Fit Trainer, Roy, Mewtwo.

So we just judged your roster twice?

 

[TheLastJinjo]

I'd bark about the lack of Palutena over Lip, but that won't get me anywhere.
9/10 for no Brawl Cuts + Mewtwo.

 

[Protom]

Okay, fixed my 45 character roster.

Activating PSI Flame Sheild!

PK FIRE!!!
Not bad. I just don't however see both mewtwo and Roy though.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Mii: I'll get over and support it for Smash 5
Takamaru: Disappointed, but as long as we get a good retro, I won't fully complain
Ridley: If it happens, it happens. The arguments will continue to Smash 5
Pac-Man: I don't give a damn. After what I'm seeing with one user on IGN, I don't want Pac-Man in
K Rool: Pissed, but wouldn't complain if Dixie gets in
Palutena: Pissed
Isaac: Pissed

But, how realistic would you consider it?

 

[Louie G.]

Okay, fixed my 45 character roster.

Activating PSI Flame Sheild!

Hmm...
Well Lyn is gone, so that's disappointing.
And Ridley. Aaaaaand Palutena. Well isn't that great.
Lip should probably be kicked for Takamaru.
Miis and Palutena are somewhat necessary.
Vaati is unnecessary. Replace him with Palutena, preferably.
Then you have a Louie G. approved 45 character roster.
Although 48-50 is my bet. I think the roster'll be bigger than everyone thinks.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Pac-Man needs to not happen, okay? Thank you. Bye.

 

[OcarinaOfDoom]

Your reaction to: No Mii, No Takamaru, No Ridley, No Pac-Man, No King K. Rool, No Palutena, No Issac?

YES, meh/boo, boo, YES, meh/boo, meh, meh

Ridley being seen as Boss/Stage Hazard material makes me think Palutena might be seen as more Secret Taunt, Background, Final Smash material.

 

[Knight Dude]

So Ridley...stage hazard?

Probably not. If he was, they would have shown Ridley attacking other characters by now. Much like the gimmicks of other stages being shown already. Even Yellow Devil was shown as a hazard/boss.

Your reaction to: No Mii, No Takamaru, No Ridley, No Pac-Man, No King K. Rool, No Palutena, No Issac?

I'll be dissapointed. Well not for the Miis, they can rot in a hole. But everyone else you listed would be coo characters to play as. The only one to look forward to would be Dixie Kong and Little Mac.

 

[Louie G.]

Pac-Man needs to not happen, okay? Thank you. Bye.

Why's he in your sig then?

Ridley being seen as Boss/Stage Hazard material makes me think Palutena might be seen as more Secret Taunt, Background, Final Smash material.

I thought you said you still believed in Ridley.
And Palutena is somewhat incomparable to Ridley. While Ridley has had a major boss role in the past, Palutena was part of Pit's Final Smash. Which is likely to change anyway.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Why's he in your sig then?

I think you failed to read the font above the icons.

 

[Arcanir]

Why not drag it out? Creates hype and doesn't crush the dreams of those who want him until they have other reasons to get the game.

Because it goes against what Sakurai has done for other characters. When he revealed Peach, he immediately revealed Toad, when he started with ATs, he immediately revealed Skull Kid and later Starfy, when he did the hazards, Yellow Devil and the Emperor were not too far behind the stage reveals. Sakurai has not dragged out these deconfirmations before and doing so now would lead to more backlash then before.

 

[Gunla]

Pac-Man needs to not happen, okay? Thank you. Bye.

THANK. YOU.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

I think there is a LOT of Ridley denial. Like more than Toad. Not saying it's denial to think he'll be in the game. But, for such terrible and invalid reasons to dismiss the evidence suggesting otherwise.

 

[OcarinaOfDoom]

Why not drag it out? Creates hype and doesn't crush the dreams of those who want him until they have other reasons to get the game.

It's like kicking a puppy 100 times before shooting it. It will make fans angrier at this point. Doesn't create hype, creates people getting mad. Look at what happened the first day of the stage reveal.
