It still takes away what made the characters great, regardless of how good an idea it would be. And comparing it to Frank West isn't proper, as the Level-up/multiple weapons is a staple of his series, this new "Mega form" is not a staple and rather a brand new idea that needs more time to develop before consideration is taken. So for now, no, the new formes is a bad idea.

Well I disagree but its fine to have differing opinions. Gen 6 would have alot of support via Jiggly being Fairy, Mega Lucario and Mega Mewtwo. It would be pretty sweet.

I want lucario's b over changed so maybe they can replace it with that, (also wouldnt mind if they replaced his normal b move.)

The only move they should change are extreme speed or double team Aurasphere and forcepalm are lucario's signature attacks.

I would rather see her than one-off Ghriahim, to be honest. She's been in 3 Zelda games, mentioned in a fourth, and is relevant with the new Wind Waker remake fresh on the Zelda community's minds.

Have you ever played any of Starfy's game, btw? Been meaning to ask.

I've played Starfy 3 and 5. They weren't mind-blowingly innovative, but they were fun.

You don't play competivly then. In competitive play the move sucks ass and is never used because of how much of a bad move it is. If his Side Spec was buffed up somehow, or just changed into a better Special, and his Down Special was something better he could possibly be high tier instead of upper mid tier.

I've seen MegaEvolutions mentioned a lot in this thread, so I'll give my input on Pokemon evolutions.

Sakurai likes his transformations, right? I mean, he put in Zelda/Sheik in Melee, and added Zero Suit and Pokemon Trainer in Brawl. However you put it, it's clear he likes transforming characters - but he also wouldn't add another one unless it had a unique mechanic to it. So what if they created a Pokemon that could 'evolve' so to speak, as a permanent transformation?

For the sake of example, a while back I was thinking about how they could re-add Pichu without pissing off too many fans. Now obviously, I'm not advocating Pichu's return, but hear me out. The idea was that from the menu, you could select Pichu or Pikachu from a single slot, like with Samus/Zero Suit. Pichu would have very high potential to dish out damage but have almost no KO potential, whereas Pikachu would be the inverse, and deal poor damage but with lots of potential KO's. Pichu would have a Special move or Taunt that allows him to 'evolve' into Pikachu. However, 'evolution' would be absolutely permanent. Unlike every other transformation in the game, once Pichu transforms into Pikachu, he transforms for good until the end of the match. Since the Pokemon have vastly different strengths and weaknesses, you'd have to choose a strategic point in the battle to transform, since once you do there's no going back.

Of course, I'm not suggesting Pichu return whatsoever - but the idea of a 'permanent' transformation would be an interesting one, especially since even Zero Suit isn't necessarily permanent. Apply Pichu and Pikachu to Mewtwo and MegaMewtwo or any other situation, but either way I think it'd be an interesting idea to explore.

Haven't posted here in a LONG time. May as well get some opinions on my own roster while I'm here:

It looks like it's almost out of an SSB Adventure Mode.


I wonder why this game went completely under the radar to a lot of the userbase here..

Sin and Punishment is great fun, I've got it on the Wii Virtual console. I suppose it's just very obscure, only two games in the series and both have different protagonists.

Brawl has shown Sakurai is willing to give the series some love but I'd say assist trophy is about right for Saki, at least for now. Having said that his moveset writes itself and he has stared in Smash in a lesser role before so I wouldn't be that surprised if he got in.

I knew it, it felt like crap, I really hope it gets buffed or exchanged for something better.

i'm going to be honest, i don't find ridley and king k.rool to be incredibly likely. i know of their importance, and of the fans' demand for them, and so on, but... i don't know, i could just see sakurai not including them for some reason.
don't get me wrong, i want them as much as everyone else, but still.

Yeah, tbh, me too, I just include them on the roster mostly because everyone does.

I feel the same way. But personally I actually want Metroid Prime/Dark Samus and Dixie Kong over Ridley and King K.Rool.

People doubting Ridley again? Gee, let me ask, is this Miiverse, because that's what it looks like right now. Might as well break out the too big argument, as there's nothing standing in the way of the only true Nintendo All-Star not included yet.

Dunno who to put in this last slot. Ideas?

Easily the best roster I've seen, from what I recall at least. The only changes I'd make are personal preference ones (like Robin over Chrom and the last spot going to Porky or someone random and unexpected), but frankly if someone told me this is the final roster, I'd be more than happy.
