My response if Ninten actually did get into Smash:Let's not have Mario or Pikachu in Smash because they're not balanced.
I mean, we could have this PERFECT ALL-STAR ROSTER, because all that matters is gameplay, right?
RIGHT?! Look at such potential! So many unique characters! Such variety!
Gameplay for the characters is ultimately based on what they do in combat. If they don't do a lot, they can be a clean slate (like Fox and Captain Falcon). If it's all in their DNA, you got it (see Mario and Liugi, although they are kinda sorta Ryu and Ken [dat up B!]; also, Marth and Mewtwo are other good examples). Some characters just have a moveset written out exactly (see: Snake, Lucas, Sawnic, Pikachu, literally everything for the Wii Fit Trainer, lol!).
I'm not too worried since Namco is on board this time around.
Doc Louis? Sign me up.Let's not have Mario or Pikachu in Smash because they're not balanced.

That is why I am not worried. Sora Ltd. just needs to focus on making the game. Leave the balancing to a competent company.
That's not true. You can fix any character on the roster. Meta Knight is too fast in Brawl, but if you slow him down he can still be fast enough to fit his characters. Never will a character be removed because of such painfully minor issues, especially not essential characters like Meta Knight, ROB, and Zelda.
Little Mac's entrance will almost definitely be him chasing Doc Louis on the bike.
Takamaru, Duck Hunt Dog, and Muddy Mole.So guys if you need to choose between all these retro reps, who will you choose? You can pick three choices.

This is the first time I have ever heard anybody say that they don't want Ganondorf to get a new move-set. Do you main him?
In Melee, yes. Not so much Brawl. I think Ganondorf with a sword or projectiles would be stupid and make him look less strong than he actually is.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Falcon Punch originate from the F Zero anime first?
I actually kind of agree. The only reason I wanted him to have a sword back in Melee was because the "challenger approaching" picture had him with his sword. I also mained him in Melee. Not so much in Brawl. I like being a low-tier warrior, but I can't even touch Ganondorf. I wouldn't mind if they discerned some of his specials or normals a little bit. I don't really care too much to be honest.
There's more to characters than gameplay, though.
I think it's more of a matter of keeping him true to his character. I'm not in support of giving him a sword either, we have enough of those characters, make him some kind of combat wizard, someone who can make some dark magic but also punch you hard in the face. Replace Warlock Punch with his Dead Man's Volley projectile, just get rid of Wizard's Foot for anything else, replace his F-Smash with a mini-Warlock Punch, just such changes. I don't want him to get a completely new moveset, he's gotta be somewhat recognizable from his past Smash games, but he also needs to be recognizable from his source games too.
I just hope they do the patching instead of a random team.
No, that characters can create gameplay.
I never said otherwise, lol. I just said if push came to shove, this is what I'll do and why.
So. Much. Win.
Honestly. I would be content with that roster. It has Tingle and Candy Kong. Two of my favorites EVA.There's more to characters than gameplay, though.
And being unbalanced is not an excuse to remove a character, but to redesign him/her. Or would you rather have this roster in a game?
I'm pretty sure that if this was the final roster, there would be massive outcry no matter how good the gameplay would be.
Gameplay is important but it's not the sole factor of the roster. You have to strike a balance between popularity and gameplay balance.
I think if he stayed the way he was in Melee he would be alright.
I feel the exact same! Those were the good old days. Toon Ganon would be so epic to me.
Yes I'd so main keeby right off the batThere's more to characters than gameplay, though.

, i'd play ninten, krystal, samus z.s, hmm candy kong wonder what moveset she'll have... that goes for the rest of the cast. paper mario okay... black knight woah lol. omg giygas! yusssss.... the rest i'd use as possible punching bags 
(sorry doggie) all kidding aside i see what ya mean, but to say that characters>gameplay? lol nope. (not directed at you or anyone else really....its directed at the guests! 
)
There's too many of them sire, the outnumber us! Their years of gaming history will swallow us whole if we dare take them on.
Fair enough, but still, where do you get your proof for your suspicions, there has been literally no mention ever of Toon Zelda from Sakurai. With the logic you're using, one could just claim, "I think he was working on Mewtwo, he even got further than most cut characters, but he thought Mewtwo was dumb and just dropped work on him". Seriously, whether a definitive statement or just a thought... some evidence to back up your claims is still kinda... needed, or else you're just presuming based on nothing.
I actually

I am presuming based on nothing. No need to get excited.
We've run out of interesting topics.
Well gee whilickers mister, what gave it away?
Well of course I know that. I guess stating the obvious is an understatement.
Welcome to 4 months ago dude... If even.
Hugely unsurprised. Save Mewtwo for a late 'surprise'. A surprise we've all guessed.
Don't enourage them you.Oh whatever. We stretched no info at all into a year of speculation then learning about Namco into another year. Now we're getting characters like every second week and you guys have no interesting things to discuss? FOR SHAME.
The first part...I'd have no problem with it mostly, the second part however...is pretty much impossible so I have no thoughts on it.
I'd be upset they chose Jiggs of all characters, but it wouldn't make me think any less of the other veterans' chances.
i would be happy
This is most likely going to happen if anybody other than mew two is revealed so I wouldn't care.
I woul be indifferent enjoying the ****storm that will surely ensue as fanboys start to whine about how Mewtwo is deconfirmed, eating popcorn while I watch N3ON, Falkoopa, and Venus struggle to keep everyone from losing their ****.
Some people use helpful encouragement, I use condescension. It worked, didn't it?
