Honestly, if we're talking appeal, I'd want an entirely new character, but that's just me.

I won't deny that he has a lot of generic, but flashy potential attacks to pull from, but he just seems uninspired to me. I mean, other than to add a WTF character...why? The WTF characters that we've had up to this point all fit into another archetype besides just "surprise character". Wii Fit Trainer is a representative of one of Nintendo's newer, more successful series. R.O.B. and Mr. Game and Watch both fill a niche of historical/hardware characters. What reason is there to add Tabuu other than to surprise people?
Having a playable character original to Smash. It also gives Tabuu a purpose now that his army is destroyed and he has no role in the series if not just Adventure Mode Boss because Adventure Mode Boss. Not that we need canon in order for Tabuu to be a boss. Even then he can both.

You never know. Sakurai likes to add surprises and unique move sets. And not only does Tabuu bring that, but again a Smash Original character which seems in order since Smash has produced many of them and has created a style making it more than a crossover of franchises, but it's own franchise with it's own setting and characters.

Maybe he didn't die, he just turned small and now he can fight.

I got nothing.

He was on Sakurai's whiteboard :p.
Along with Mr. Saturn

The hate list basically goes
Sandbag > Ridley > Mr. Saturn > Starfy :p

If there was canon for it, that might actually be the case. He was weakened and gets his revenge by joining the Battle!

Maybe we can get Giant Donkey Kong Master Hand. Or maybe he should just stay as the boss of the game.

I've got a wonderful idea Saturn! Why don't you create a Tabuu thread and go argue in that where we can't see it so this thread won't be clogged with Tabuu?
Why?! Why would you even?!

I've got an idea. How about you either ignore the topic or stop shoving your hate and disagreements down people's throats and get mad when they defend themselves or respond negatively to it.

I'm talking with Pacack. If you don't want to join in. Don't.
I like Tabuu.

I'd main him. Though, seriously, Sakurai should make a Sandman character. Just give him legs. C'mon, please?
And don't get mad at Saturn, guys. It's something. Would you rather we have no activity at all? I mean, I get that he can be a bit argumentative at times, but it's something to discuss and it's actually a little intellectually stimulating.
True. It's not like he's the only one who starts fights. I'd say more about him, but like I said before, talking about someone directly in front of them is extremely rude.

But why is that even necessary? The point of the game is to have Nintendo's all-stars duking it out, isn't it? I don't think Tabuu really counts. If he got in, he'd just be a representative of Smash bros in general. He wouldn't be in because he's an interesting or deserving character. And, if a Smash bros rep is necessary, any other potential Smash character could still fill that role. Primid, Wireframes, Polygons, Sandbag, Dragon King, an original character...why Tabuu? Because, honestly, he was just a boss to be a boss. He was a plot twist with no real depth. Why bring him back to make him relevant? There's no need unless Sakurai really likes the character and wants to bring him back like he does retros.

I'm not shoving any hate or disagreements anywhere, if you'd get off your defensive rant streak and look, I never made a single negative comment about it.

You don't need to be an arse man, I just made a suggestion because you haven't shut up about it for like five+ pages.

I have a topic that I believe we haven't discussed in awhile.

Chibi Robo. Chances on being a playable character? How about an assist?
I'm going to be honest, as much as I want him in Smash Bros 4...I see him as an assist trophy at best. He could probably use his toothbrush to attack or use the Chibi-Blaster

Maybe I haven't shut about it because everyone is still talking about it and spamming my inbox with it? Did you consider that?

And I'm sorry if that last post was rude. But, you seemed like you were being sarcastic and asking me to leave.

Hey man, I'm not trying to put you down, your Tabuu stuff is great and I have no reason to argue with you over it.

It's just getting a bit spammy old to look at when you keep arguing the same points to multiple people.

Doc Louis won't be in the background, he'll be too busy getting chocolate.

I'm going to stop with the Tabuu discussion since people don't like it. And because I should not be awake and cannot provide a coherent argument for much longer.

So how about Little Mac with Doc Louis in the background?
Cool idea, but kinda meh. I'd honestly rather see him as an assist.
That made me laugh.

Anyway, maybe a Smash character should be in Smash, then Master Hand would be the Boss and than we could have bosses from other games. That would be awesome. Boss roster please. Someone make one.
We don't really even need a smash character for that to happen, honestly.

How about Metal Mario and Sandbag? Metal Mario could wander about with a Home-Run Bat while Sandbag is his partner who follows him and can be used as a projectile. Honestly, it will never happen, but it would much awesome.

It should be his thing when he loses. Instead of clapping, Doc Louis is there encouraging him. Than when he wins Doc cheers him on, and another can be him holding a belt high up in the air, etc etc etc.
And then maybe do an easter egg in the similar fashion of Snake's Codec at Shadow Moses and Starfox Crew at Great Fox and Lylat Cruise: Doc giving Mac advice.

"What's your favorite colored Luma, Mac? Mine's chocolate!!"

Now, this. This is an idea I really like.
The best original Smash character is obviously the Dragon King Master Hanafuda Tabuu. :troll:
Excuse you, peasant. Hanafuda has no originations in Smash. Try again.

:troll:

This man is a genius. I love it when new members show up and they instantly know what they're talking about.

Their more chill, but anyway let's talk about......

What pic are are we gonna get tonight? if you have something better that's On topic just say it.
Maybe a 3DS picture?

It won't be that bad, geez your such a drama queen.

Leave Neon alone pls, I think she's probably annoyed at this point.

Let's talk about DK characters, It's almost Feb. coming up, will we get just diddy or do you think we'll get a big Ninty direct with a possible newcomer?
I think we'll just get Diddy. Maybe 1-2 newcomers at a Nintendo Direct, then some more at E-3.

Maybe a 3DS picture?
Damn I must be a wizard or something

Ok, so it's probably not based off of one specific game, and was made specifically for Smash Bros, right? Even though it looks so much like Rayman Origins IMO, he would've said what game it was from if it was one stage. And he wouldn't have talked about no SSE. Ok, Melee Adventure Mode confirmed.

"Pic of the day. Where am I……??
To be clear, the new Super Smash Bros. games do not feature a story mode like The Subspace Emissary."
Most definitely an adventure mode stage on the 3DS version. Hence the "Where am I" showing it's an original creation, and the mention of SSE makes it obvious that it's something to do with singleplayer.

Don't know why, but the pic gives me a Reset Bomb Factory vibe. Might be wrong, but it just seems like that to me.
