No it actually doesn't because Mr. Game & Watch actually DID these things, Diskun didn't.
Just for the sake of clarification...not ALL of them. For instance, G&W's Down Aerial, the giant Key, is a reference to Donkey Kong Jr. if I recall, and the bug spray is a reference to Donkey Kong 3.

The bug spray is not bug spray. It's from a game called "Sparky" and Donkey Kong Jr WAS a game on the Game & Watch.

No, "Sparky" is G&W's Up Aerial. His neutral A is a Donkey Kong 3 reference. And the quote you provided was "Mr. Game & Watch actually DID these things." My point is that, if we're clarifying WHO did these things, that is false, because that would be Donkey Kong Jr. and Stanley.

And 8-Bit Mario.
And Lou Albano Mario.
And Boo Mario.
And Bee Mario.

Super Smash Mario confirmed.

Edit: And Green Mario.
I can't believe you guys forgot Chef Mario from Yoshi's Cookie.
I actually have him on my ultimate dream roster as a joke character.
I put in the Melee clones, including Dr. Mario, so Chef Mario is sorta like a parody of him and Mario clones in general.

I'm watching a video about Mr. Game and Watch's origins and how that transferred to smash bros. You can not like playing as the character or whatever but you can't deny how awesome it is how he can have such a unique and creative moveset with absolutely no moves that were made up or improvised (prove me wrong on that, I dare you. If you succeed you get to feel the accomplishment of proving me wrong) Point is Mr. Game and Watch is an awesome and underrated character =P

  • ROB is a robot remember? Robots are known to have jetpacks and lasers and you're trying to tell me making a move set for a drawing of a square with eyes is the same as making a move set for a ROBOT!? Bad example...........................I mean.............REALLY bad example.
  • Why should Diskun use NES accesories as his moves, if ROB didn't then what makes you think Diskun will? If there was a character that did that it'd probably be like a Nintendo version of "Ages" from Sega Racing.
  • "Diskun is the perfect character to represent the classic Japanese-only famicom titles that aren't represented in Smash Bros" Are you implying Diskun would have a move from every Famicom game? Why? That doesn't make sense considering he wasn't in the games. Look, all he did was show up on the top left corner of instruction manuals, that's not even comparable to ROB & Mr. Game & Watch
  • Why is the awesomeness of rewritable floppy disks a reason to add Diskun as a playable character?

No it actually doesn't because Mr. Game & Watch actually DID these things, Diskun didn't.
R.O.B. was never in a game, he was a hardware associated with the game. Also, Diskun is more than a square, in fact, I'm not sure what he is exactly. R.O.B. didn't use accessories because of generic robotness remember? (Yes I know Robotness is not a word) And again, he uses accessories associated to the hardware because he's supposed to be the mascot of the hardware that runs the Famicom, he is what makes the game come to life in a sense of speaking. And once again, Diskun can do whatever Sakurai wants him to do, it'd be far from the first time that he's had to create Source Material for characters.

And no, he wouldn't have a move from every Famicom game, just a few of the more popular ones that aren't represented in Smash already. And the rewritable floppy discs add to Diskun because it allows for him to incorporate new moves into his fighting style, or possibly multiple fighting styles into one single style of overall play. The thing is basically the God of the Famicom so to speak, not so in the sense that it's high and mighty, but it's like it's supposed to be the one that creates the images on screen.

And all Mr. Game & Watch ever really did was fall out of flaming buildings into ambulances, the other characters of Game & Watch did their own things. And yes, while Mr. Game & Watch is an avatar with a moveset composed of all said games, it still wasn't really him doing said things and his character was mainly inspired by the Fire civilian model from Fire, as shown in his Melee trophy.

So I decided to give one last update to my roster. I like the look of it, personally. As a note, Sheik, Zero Suit Samus, and the Pokemon Trainer's Pokemon are still intact, and selectable on the select screen, but for the sake of its appearance, they are not shown on my roster. They're still there, though. That makes 50 characters when the transformations are included.
A very reasonable 46 character roster. It gets my A-Ok.

Mr. Game & Watch is technically a caricature of the entire Game and Watch library. There was no "Mr. Game & Watch" before Melee. Yes the character is based off of the design of the characters in those games, but not all of those characters were the same person. The only issue with Diskun utilizing abilities from Famicom games is that unlike Mr. Game and Watch, it doesn't really match in design with those games (Of course, that won't stop the Villager from using Balloon Fighter's signature flight method and Punch-Out!!-like boxing gloves). But it wouldn't prevent Diskun's stubby little arms from using other Famicom peripherals.

So can we change the subject from Robots, Flat people and yellow puzzle piece robots to something else? Actually, I do have one since I thought about this one last night...

Let's say Punch-Out, for the hell of it, gets two reps. Punch-Out has a large and colorful cast of characters, as stereotypical as they may be, who would be your choice of a second Punch-Out rep?

Bald Bull; he's been in every game, even Arm Wrestling.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Arm Wrestling. I'd probably change my pick to Bald Bull, then.

Although, if I picked based on personal preference...Doc Louis all the way.

That was actually my choice as well. XD

And this is my other. XD If Doc Louis had a Final Smash, I wish he'd pull a DBZ on us and turn everyone into chocolate like Majin Buu.

Donkey Kong
Knew it wouldn't be long until someone threw that. :p

King Hippo is arguably more important and has more moveset potential than Bald Bull.
PS: I know tons about Punch Out, one of my favorite games of all time.
So yeah, King Hippo all the way, unless Doc Louis.

Since people keep bringing up King Hippo, I've another question...who would want to see an event in event mode inspired by Captain N?

:/
Mega Man, Pit, and...
Hmm...
:urg:
I dunno, I guess just those two.
But Pit's gotta say -icus at the end of all of his taunts and stuff.

And sorry in advance for the double post, but we need a Mike Tyson assist trophy.
He comes out and bites your ear, like the replacement for Metroid.

Edit: I didn't even need to double post did I.

Indeedicus, completely obnoxicus.

However, if there is a codec call thing on the Kid Icarus stage, I think that joke being brought up would be absolutely hystericus.
But would that disconfirm Palutenicus?
Surely that would cause much commotionicus!

Edit: Wow, what a waste of a 400th post.

OoD and Hotfeet having sex.
D/P Rhydon sprites.

I wasn't planning on making another roster, because who the hell knows what Sakurai is thinking, but it's fun, so why not?
I know I'll get a lot of flack for removing Jigglypuff and having Muddy, but I wanted to have another surprising character, and I genuinely do think Jigglypuff is the most likely character to get cut. I imagine Ike having a few attacks with his axe and Chrom having a few attacks using his lance to differentiate them more. I find Dixie only slighty more likely than K. Rool.

I give it a 10/10. I'd be perfectly happy with this roster. :)

And I genuinely do think that Jigglypuff being the most likely to be cut is complete bull****.
Oh and overall rating? Well if my eyes haven't decieved me jiggs is the only character cut from this roster. Again, I call bull****. This roster isn't bad at all but realistically I don't think Muddy Mole's happening :p 9.2/10
