Like Kid Icarus you mean?

Or Mother?

Kid Icarus is understandable.
But I don;t want (or need) another Mother rep.

 

[AncientTobacco]

It will have 4 games shortly. And that's if you don't count spinoffs, like Yoshi(the old puzzle game), Yoshi's Cookie, Yoshi's safari, Yoshi Touch & Go, etc...

It will have 5, actually. Don't forget Yarn Yoshi!

 

[Pikmin1211]

We just gotta believe! I WANT THIS WOMAN.

You want to believe leaks?
Enjoy the Nintendo Fusion and Pac Man in smash 4

It will have 5, actually. Don't forget Yarn Yoshi!

Forgot this. Mostly because NO NEWS WHATSOEVER

Honestly I'd argue Lucas wasn't exactly necessary.
Pit does a fine job of repping KI alone to be honest too. We don't need Palutena, but the majority want her.

We technically don't NEED any characters aside from the main protagonists of each franchise.

Not entirely.
We need villains and women too. And some sidekicks. (Luigi, Diddy)
And I completely agree about Lucas.

 

[The Nerd]

Like I said before, as well as the orb not having the outline, I simply don't believe the leak because it's a leak. I'll respect the people that do believe it, but I won't believe it myself until it actually is revealed by Sakurai himself.

To me, Occam's Razor dictates that she probably is legit and this is an actual leak. It matters little; she looks interesting but she's not someone I desperately want. I'd be more guarded if it was a character I had really been hoping for.

 

[Mega Dunsparce]

HIS BEARDS HAVE SWORDS!

EDITED BY A MODERATOR WUUUUT?

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Don't care if I get slowpoked for this, but Imma do it anyway...

MY ANALYSIS: Viridi is in the middle of the background, no room for Palutena in the background means no Palutena Final Smash. Palutena probably confirmed.

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that we're getting news on KI and a KI leak?
BTW, I was going to say this, till you ninja'd me.

It's simply a coincidence.

 

[Haydossy]

I think I missed something vital here: Shy Guy's a girl?!?

Also Pokemon Trainer probably should of used one of the many female avatars for this. If there's a female Mii too it'd look better.

Overall good but disappointed by the lack of Captain Syrup. You need all the female villains you can get on here.

Shy Guy can be male or female, and I can't put Yoshi here, so...........yeah. Also, the 'Pokemon Trainer' is female in the game and you can switch between all of the female region trainers. You can only play as female Miis, and the lack of Captain Syrup is because I wanted to keep the roster a nice box.

 

[Gunla]

It's simply a coincidence.

Your avatar. I used to have it as my avi here and many other forums. Axle Approved.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Did I just hear somebody say they don't WANT something that's MOTHER/EARTHBOUND related!?!?

 

[Haydossy]

I have a few suggestions:

Replace Shy Guy with Birdo.

Use a female trainer icon.

Replace Pikachu and Lucario with Jigglypuff and Gardevoir.

Use a female Mii.

Replace Isabelle with someone more meaningful like Barbara or Alex Roivas.

1. I would have used Birdo, but it hasn't been in a single Yoshi game and it's gender-confused.

2. I can't use a female trainer icon unless I want a specific reigon, but I want to be able to switch between all the female region trainers.

3. I'll consider that.

4. There isn't a pic of one and I don't know how to download them.

5. Yeah I'll do that.

>Super Bash Sisters
>Shy Guy

I don't even.

In addition, I suggest replacing Pokémon Trainer with May.

Shy guys aren't all male. They can be both and I wanted a Yoshi representative. Who would you use? Baby Peach? And no Birdo because it hasn't even appeared in a single Yoshi game. Also I want the Pokemon Trainer to be able to switch between the female Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, etc. trainers.

Good afternoon all, hope you're all doing well. Well, it seems Viridi is deconfirmed sadly, and we have no news overall on that Palutena leak as of yet. Regardless, I'm still curious as to what will happen. Now, excuse me as I keep on watching Metal Gear Rising boss battles, this game is so damn gorgeous and amazing.

Super Smash Toad! Play as all your favourite indistinguishable inhabitants of the Mushroom Kingdom!

Beat you to it already;

Remember; there is no Toad, so EVERYONE is Toad.

(Would buy your version though; better have a Wario's Woods stage)

He's probably the best non Toad character on the roster. Good choice.

 

[Depressed Gengar]

KingShadow is back! Smashboards is now funny again!
What'd I miss (besides Viridi).

Let's see what happens Friday or net week, I'm hungry for more Palutena.

That Jigglypuff toad will give me nightmares forevermore

 

[DarkStarStorm]

I don't see why Chrom has a chance anymore,Marth is is,and Chrom kind of works like Marth,so byebye,Chrom

View attachment 6746

Chrom would replace Ike

 

[Pikmin1211]

Show ya Moves!

 

[Headcrab Jackalope]

So I guess Glover is third party or something, which makes him virtually impossible being retro and third party. I'm either gonna replace him with Primid as a Smash Bros. character, or another retro/WTF. I already have Muddy Mole and Sukapon, and I don't want Lip or Takamaru. I might just keep him since he does technically have a chance.

So, any suggestions for retros/WTFs?

 

[DarkStarStorm]

are you serious? I could beat 99.9% of the people on the planet in melee

I'd chain grab your face off.

 

[Pikmin1211]

Too big.

 

[shrooby]

It is prominent, but not to the extent of having 4 reps.

You're being too black and white about it. Prominence doesn't correlate with amount of reps too such a high extent with every franchise.
Each series is in a unique situation. That's why we're able to say something like:
"The Yoshi series doesn't need a second rep."
Despite this also being a common statement:
"Palutena is a worthy addition."
Surely the entire Yoshi franchise is more prominent when compared to all of Kid Icarus, no? Yet many still say that Yoshi doesn't need a second rep. Why is that? If we compare the Yoshi other franchises, then Yoshi would seem like it should have a second character. With eight games (Yoshi, Yoshi's Cookie, Yoshi Safari, Yoshi's Island, Yoshi Topsy-Turvy, Yoshi's Island DS, Yoshi's Story, Yoshi Touch 'n' Go), a port (Yoshi's Island for GBA), and two upcoming games, it certainly has a good number of games. It has its main protagonist, its secondary protagonist (Baby Mario), it's primary villain(s) (Kamek and Baby Bowser), so it's not like it doesn't have characters to choose from. If we compare that to Starfox, which it has five games, a remake and three characters or Mother, which has three games and two characters surely Yoshi warrants another character, no?
What about sales?
Want to know how many copies of Kid Icarus: Uprising were sold? 1.18 million. (Granted, this isn't that current, but it won't matter in the end once you see my next point.)
Meanwhile, Yoshi's Island DS, the most current Yoshi game, sold 2.91 million copies. Assuming that between last March (when that statistic is from) and now Uprising hasn't sold 1.83 million copies including digital download, it was outsold. Yoshi was far more popular. So why does Kid Icarus deserve a second character but Yoshi doesn't?
You see where comparing franchises gets us? It gets us to a road where Yoshi should have at least one other character. It's not a good habit. You can't compare franchises. Each franchise is different with its own unique situation. There's a reason Kid Icarus will likely have two reps despite it being a small franchise. There's a reason Starfox has three reps and Metroid has one/two. And there's a reason DK can have the same amount of reps as Zelda.
The only comparison between franchises we can make are that the amount of playable characters a franchise should have shouldn't go above that of Mario or Pokemon. We're able to say that because those two series have many potential characters that aren't added. Clearly there is a limit, and the biggest series with the biggest cast of big name characters are the ones that set it.
This is under the assumption that the Yoshi's franchise's current situation puts it in a position where it doesn't warrant another rep. To the people who think otherwise: please don't hurt me.

Honestly I'd argue Lucas wasn't exactly necessary.
Pit does a fine job of repping KI alone to be honest too. We don't need Palutena, but the majority want her.

We technically don't NEED any characters aside from the main protagonists of each franchise.

We technically don't even need Smash Bros.

BUT I AM SO GOOD WITH HIM. TIERS ARE FOR QUEERS

No, they're for people who know what they're talking about.

Nope.

Or co-exist. Like, replace Roy.

That's why Chrom should be in Smash?

No like....

Chrom isn't even playable at all. And neither is.... *gasp* roy.

That would solve alot of bickering, and.... nobody wins and we get lyn. It's the best outcome
