Saturn trying to make Tabuu seem less generic by insinuating one of the least generic candidates is generic is pretty funny.

Seeing as in melee we had 25 characters and that number jumped to 35 for brawl (Not counting transformations/pokemon) I think it's reasonable to expect 8-10 newcomers if all the brawl veterans return. That would mean we've been shown nearly half of the newcomers already leaving 4-5 left to be revealed. Thoughts?

Well, if you say so. To me, the manakete thing really comes of as grasping at straws to make her stand out. And honestly it seems better suited for Julius or Lyon
Well, I could have done "Dark Rise" and had her have a generic magic rising action. But instead I tried to make it cool. Sakurai pulls **** like that all the time. Grasping t straws, sure. But they're cool straws.

Also my KKR moveset:
B Crown Toss: This is supposedly his most iconic move? Go figure he would rip it from Sailor Moon. Anyways, K. Rool Tosses his crow forward swiftly, acting as a boomerang.

>B K. Rool Crusher: K. Rool rushes forward and tackles the opponent. This move sort of acts like a further moving version of Wario’s shoulder ram move. It also ends with him diving to the ground, unlike Wario’s shoulder ram.

^B Kombo: Hailing from DK64, K. Rool ‘s up B is a chargable uppercut. The longer you charge, the stronger and higher he will lung upwards.

VB Belly Bounce: This move acts as a counter, as well as a reflector. K. Rool puffs his chest quickly. If attacked, he releases and his belly smacks the opponent. If a projectile is aimed at him, his stomach will bounce it back at the opponent.

I would be perfectly happy if the roster was Brawl + Mewtwo + 8 newcomers.

I have no idea, I was trying to Google a crocodile with a crown (in gaming) and this guy showed up. No clue who he is though. However, he clearly exists! :awesome:
Some evil dude from Croc. Believe he was the main baddie. Don't remember his name, as I can barely remember the characters in the game itself. Man, that was a looong time ago.

This scares me.
Let's say we get 48.
That means we only have 9 newcomers left to see.
Assuming two of those are Little Mac and Mewtwo, we only have 7 newcomer left to see!

Explain why Marth, Donkey Kong, and Zelda aren't generic? Also I can put a crown on an animal and give him pirate and scientist stuff. It'd still be generic.

Well, that's not too bad depending on who they pick. Even assuming that we get Mii and Pac-man alongside them, we can still get characters like King K. Rool in there.

Trying to pass K. Rool off as generic and supporting Tabuu at the same time is not a very good combo.
A popular character and an unpopular character. Whether you're right or not, Smashboards WILL gang up on you.
Just give it a rest @SaturnGamer64.
And sorry for adding to the argument, but King K. Rool is far from generic.

Speculation God, GOML
Yeah, I think Saturn's comparison went over everyone's heads. He is merely asserting that K. Rool (aesthetically) represents a generic concept. Thus, Tabuu (who was being called generic based on his physical appearance) is just as generic as K. Rool. However, as we all know, King K. Rool is one of the least typical characters around. So he is sarcastically making a direct comparison to the differing characters. It was really quite simple, he wasn't calling K. Rool generic.

Of course, he later clarified that the word "generic" alludes to something entirely subjective. Hence it cannot be used to refute Tabuu.

We should get off this Tabuu and K. Rool topic @SaturnGamer64.
Wether or not you like the characters or think they should be in Smash, it is no longer a good topic for this thread.

NEW TOPIC: Wart from Super Maio Bros. 2 and Doki Doki Panic!

He should be in Smash. Period.

He'd be a cool AT, have him and his veggie machine appear firing veggies at players or just him solo trapping players in bubbles.

I'd start a support thread for Wart, because I legitimately think he would be a friggin awesome character and would be really fun to play as, but I have made a bunch of threads in the last couple of days, and I don't want to get in trouble with the mods or anything.

Could you imagine if Wart was included as a Zelda rep?

Snake isn't generic. Play the Metal Gear games, you're just being petty now. I honestly think you're the only defender of Tabuu EVER.
Would you like me to refer you to several other people? Also wasn't that supposed leaker the only defender of Wii Fit Trainer EVER?

You know, I can't tell if you're a belligerent idiot or a poor-spoken genius. For your sake, I shall assume the latter. One less opinion weighed against yours, I suppose.

Do you actually want Tabuu? I guess it could be cool, but there are a million other characters I'd rather have.

Like Sandbag.

Yeah, there's really no point. We can go to the end of the world with generic characters

A Penguin dressed in winter clothes!

A gorrila,
A muscular racer!
A typically sexy girl fighter
A pink puffball!
A damsel in distress!
A person in armor with an arm blaster!
A Fire-Breathing Dragon!
A Boy in a baseball cap
A swordsman!
A majestic Princess who see magic!
A 10 year old boy in a baseball cap!
A badass army guy with a gun!

How about you grow the heck up, act mature, and stop being petty.
Oh, no. I'm disagreeing with you and suggesting to refer you to people who agree with me.

That's pretty immature. Almost as immature as insulting people and telling them to grow up because they won't hate the same things you hate.

Isn't that like the definition of trolling?
