Yes.. but how would Starfy be an interesting choice as a fighter? Spin around? Dash into enemies? Spray water? Use a clam? Does that sound very interesting to play as, as opposed to Ridley or King K Rool, who would be better roster picks, in my opinion (and a lot of other people).
You know what doesn't sound like a very interesting theme to base a moveset around? Fitness. Yet we're getting one, and it looks well-made and interesting, and has already gained popularity. You want to know another character that didn't sound they could contribute much interesting? Captain Falcon, all he did was DRIVE A CAR. Obviously Sakurai could give Starfy an interesting moveset if he was so inclined.

You've been reported for offensive language. Normally I refrain from reporting things, but you are quite literally acting like a know-it-all douchebag who thinks he's better than everybody else. Now, go see the admins, and they'll say the same. Hopefully you won't take this news too hard. :smirk:
You don't refrain. Hell, the mods have been complaining that most of the things you report aren't worth reporting...

Noah... the man who easily has the WORST REPUTATION IN THE ENTIRE FORUMS.... tells other people they're worse than he is... :laugh:

Who here actually agrees with this statement????? Speak up. Because if I recall I don't remember the last time someone claimed they have a problem with me and everyone complains about you non stop. There you go ignoring the facts and not researching.


Just because anybody can have a 'potential moveset' it doesn't mean it will be good, or even interesting.




You're not making sense here, and you're missing my point, entirely.
You always say that when you lose.


And it looks like everybody here agrees with Staryf's incredible move set potential, You lose again.

I'd be lying if I said I'd played a Stafy game, being British the high ups at Nintendo clearly don't think I'm ready but if Sakurai can make a moveset for a robot toy, a yoga trainer and two Eskimos then he can make one for a starfish.

Don't get me wrong I don't want Starfy and agree Ridley and King K are better choices in terms of importance to Nintendo and fan approval but Starfy would not be uninteresting, every smash character requires time to learn how to play as them and has their own pros and cons, Starfy would be no different.

Yeah, but wouldn't it be awkward if they used K. Rool as an advertisement for DKC:TF when he doesn't appear in the game at all. Just one thought.
Well, it wouldn't be to advertise Tropical Freeze. If anything, Diddy's reveal would. K. Rool, I feel, is over all more important to the DK series as a whole.

The second one. The one about Deity
I read DD wrong and I thought to myself: "What does Dizzy Kong have to do with this?"

But in all seriousness, you all need to stop. N3ON said it already, so respect the moderator.

And HotFeet, I refuse to watch any "firmly grasp it" video that is not related to Spongebob.

Even if Starfy had a good moveset... what's to say he would even bring an interesting diversity to the Smashverse? Does his universe warrant so much interest over other potential characters and universes? Only Noah goes around saying Starfy is all but confirmed. He isn't, and even if he was considered, WHAT would he bring to the table?

So first Noah, then Drag0n, and now this. Can someone just be honest and tell me if I'm in for a trollfest?

Have you even played his game? Just asking.

Sorry, just responding to one of Noah's comments. Please don't hurt me :crazy:

Does a voice-over count as relation? :p

A new style of play, a new series represented, a hugely wanted character by Japan, etc.

A moveset mainly consisting of spins that allows for great aerial game, including his ability to glide, while on the ground he could be more momentum-based, focusing on getting quick hits with his small frame and quick speeds. He'd also be a character that could have great water-game, assuming the swimming feature returns from Brawl. Maybe he could even use certain attacks in the water. His various costume changes leave many opportunities for mix-ups.

Third, always assume DivineDeity hasn't played a game if he's talking smack about it. xD Go back a few pages - his entire opinion of Mother is based on the fact that he has never played it.

...Beyond redemption, basically. :p

Those questions are best left to Sakurai. That could be said about any potential Smash character, the potential is whatever he decides to make of it. Again, not defending Starfy but questioning your reasons why you dislike him. I don't want him because I don't think he's big enough, hasn't made it to Europe and already has representation as an assist trophy. Bashing him based on a potential moveset is, unless you're working on the game, not your station.

Eh.... I really don't care about Starfy. I think Sakurai kind of wanted to show us a preview of how Assist Trophies could have worked as characters in Brawl, and frankly, that's why Starfy doesn't convince me. But whatever, maybe I should pick up one of his games to see what the dealio is.

I can at least say that if so many people here are so convinced he's a likely character... then he probably is.

Speaking of DeAssist-Trophyfication... which do you consider from highest to lowest of becomming a whole character?



My prediction would be

Little Mac
Isaac
Starfy (apparently)
Saki
Knuckle Joe
Tingle
Samurai Goroh
Kat & Ana
ay Mk II
Barbara the Bat
Lady Lyndis
Devil
Waluigi
Jill
Jeff
Infantry (Advance Wars)
Excitebike
Hammer Bros.
Nintendog
Dr.Wright
Mr.Resetti
Metroid
Lakitu
Helirin
Grey Fox
Shadow

fixed: sent 3rd parties to the bottom.

Yes to that. Only I would say Starfy is at Third or Fourth. He's got nothing on Mac or Isaac, but he has just a good a shot as Saki.

Hmm...I'd say:

Little Mac
Isaac
Starfy
Goroh
Saki
Lyn
Tingle
Waluigi
Ray
Jill
Barbara
Excite Biker
Resetti
Hammer Bro
Kat + Ana
Jeff
Knuckle Joe
Dr. Wright
Infantry
Lakitu
Helirin
Nintendog
Metroid
Grey Fox
Shadow


But there's a huge drop off after Saki, and an even bigger one after Resetti.

Wow, he must've not been on shinhed's original list, haha. I'll edit him into mine.

Knuckle Joe and Waluigi over Starfy my ass. Bias aside, DD, you have to agree with N3ON. WFT is already one of the most popular characters so far, and I've seen tumblr posts all about her. I don't even see Megaman that often. Sakurai added something new and innovative to the roster, and he succeeded in creating hype. If Starfy is added, it will gain hype. And it will most certainly be something we've never seen before.

Lyn and Jeff aren't third party they are first party, and they both are pretty high on de-AT, especially Lyn.
