@GRC
So these types of characters are picked based on recency?
Ice Climbers were NEVER referenced by the time Melee came out. Who said anything about Sheriff being as iconic and recurring as ROB & Mr. Game & Watch? Nobody that's who. He simply fits the criteria in terms of throwbacks to important parts of Nintendo History. And he is an important part of Nintendo History for many reasons
I said he's next in line after ROB & Mr. Game & Watch. It was solely your choice to assume what area/criteria I was referring to. Though it would make you less foolish to attempt to find out.
Advice to people including GRC: Don't get pissy because you made an assumption from a vague comment. Seriously someone shove this GRC's face. I see what he's doing, and I'm not gonna aid him in getting the thread locked.
I never once said they were based on recency. You, however, made the point that he's often referenced in Nintendo history. I was merely debunking that. You were quite literally making the point that Sheriff was in Mr. Game & Watch's and R.O.B.'s league. Of the many reasons he's an important part of Nintendo history, you've named none aside from being Miyamoto's first character. I'd call you something along the lines of narcissistic or naive for simply assuming I don't know a thing about what I'm getting into, but oh, I guess that'd make me pissy, wouldn't it?
I'm not pissy for finding your support for a character to be unjustified for the reasons (or therefore lack of) you're giving, and I'm not getting any threads locked by doing just that, much to your dismay I'm sure. You haven't sold me on a character I disagree with and I'm exercising my right to poke at the flaws in your support, nothing sacrilegious to the thread like you imply. It's that simple.
Paste this back to Noah if you want, but I'm sure he won't listen. I think it's evident Noah's being the fool between the two of us anyhow. This isn't an argument, this is Noah's daily highlight of attention, pride, and spamming gifs. If anyone else wants to advocate for Sheriff's inclusion, please, continue in Noah's place. I'd like someone to give the kind of support Noah never could.
