Roster Prediction Discussion Thread

[Louie G.]

I have an ear infection..............also I just found out Diskun was the main character of the game where he can move just like Kirby. My mind is blown. Looks like he can move in Smash.

That's pretty awesome.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Well, you did post a meme, that seemed a little obnoxious....

Posting a meme is rude? Was it rude to post that "Why not have both?" commercial? That was a meme.

 

[Rasumii]

Little Mac, Mii, and Shulk.
Also replace Lip with Takamaru. Like now.

Lip and Takamaru were even, and 5 Retro Reps seemed like too much. Everyone stopped discussing that at the time, so anyone else is welcome to add their opinion on Lip vs. Takamaru now if they wish.

NO!
(They should both be in)

 

[TheLastJinjo]

I suppose that the meme is usually used in a more malicious way

I hope not. I don't see why it would.

Takamaru has a minigame in Nintendo Land for starters, and Sakurai has shown huge interest in his inclusion I have heard.
Many things point to Takamaru being the obvious retro rep.

Now I wish that brought more justice with Prince Sable.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Assuming retro reps are suppose to be obvious. They are usually what Sakurai prefers. Although Pit being the retro rep in Brawl was pretty obvious and if he shows interest for Takamaru then yeah.

Would you mind listing out some of the more predominant reasons?
1. Minigame in Nintendo Land
2. Sakurai has shown interest (sources?)

Anything else?

I suppose that the meme is usually used in a more malicious way (in my experience). I apologize.

Jigglypuff I found a 2 stones Jigglynite X and Jigglynite Y
I'll let you have one. Which one do you want. I suggest Y

 

[Rasumii]

OH! That's who Takamaru is? That was my least favorite mini-game in Nintendo Land by far. I've never played any of his games so I wouldn't have known.

...
This doesn't sound like you.
I expected you to be like "GIVE ME MUH EVIDENCE" or something, not to completely agree.
Hmm...
Something weird's going on here, I can feel it.

Okay, then I will just have to take Jigglynite X. I have learned through many hardships to never trust a Bidoof.

SO THAT'S WHERE IT CAME FROM! XD

What I mean by this is that this particular meme, has a sarcastic tone to it, making it rude, but the other memes like the "Why not both" stated above doesn't have that same reaction to it, it's used as more a reply to a question, of this or that? While the one you posted is you used for showing that someone stated the obvious, which is kind of rude. I'm sorry if this post offends you in anyway, though, just pointing out that the meme, isn't really that good in a situation.

For starters, he's on EVERYBODY'S roster.
I mean EVERYBODY'S.

 

[MargnetMan23]

I mean EVERYBODY'S.

Honestly I just want sources for that "shown interest thing" and obviously us predicting him doesn't mean he'll happen =P

 

[YoshiandToad]

Alright, time for Third-Party Reps:

Who I want from that list: Everyone but Snake.
Who I think will get in: Snake. Also Pac-Man.

Tbh I prefer Rayman and Bomberman to both.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Retro choices can be anybody, but only in Smashboards Takamaru has popularity.

 

[Baskerville]

Alright, New Series Reps:

Mac & Shulk

 

[Louie G.]

Honestly I just want sources for that "shown interest thing" and obviously us predicting him doesn't mean he'll happen =P

I know.
I've HEARD from a variety of sources that Sakurai is interested in the character. I have never read it from an interview or anything.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

For starters, he's on EVERYBODY'S roster.
I mean EVERYBODY'S.

That's not a legitimate reason, but Takamaru was also in Samurai Warriors 3 on the Wii and Captain Rainbow on the Wii. He's clearly an important retro character.

 

[MargnetMan23]

Also side note: the takamaru mini-game isn't very interesting... So is every other single player mini-game... So is Nintendo Land in general without friends ;-;

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Retro choices can be anybody, but only in Smashboards Takamaru has popularity.

Is popularity not a concept that exists in Japan?

 

[Rasumii]

Issac and Shulk are close. Who has more of a reason to be put on this roster?

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Issac and Shulk are close. Who has more of a reason to be put on this roster?

Little Mac, Mii and probably Starfy.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Of course it exists in Japan. Maybe I shouldn't have put only

Issac and Shulk are close. Who has more of a reason to be put on this roster?

Shulk

 

[Rasumii]

Little Mac and Mii are on the list already. The last spot is between Isaac and Shulk.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Somebody please say Shulk.

 

[Morbi]

For starters, he's on EVERYBODY'S roster.
I mean EVERYBODY'S.

So if Darth Vader was on everybody's Roster, what correlation would that have to his likelihood?

I know.
I've HEARD from a variety of sources that Sakurai is interested in the character. I have never read it from an interview or anything.

So it is hearsay? In other words, you have no evidence aside from his boring Minigame?

 

[MargnetMan23]

Issac and Shulk are close. Who has more of a reason to be put on this roster?

As far as Isaac vs Shulk IDK I'd say Shulk but that's only because I'm guessing X has something to do with Xenoblade *shrugs*

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Somebody please say Shulk.

Silk

 

[YoshiandToad]

That's not a legitimate reason, but Takamaru was also in Samurai Warriors 3 on the Wii and Captain Rainbow on the Wii. He's clearly an important retro character.

To be fair the point of Captain Rainbow was to showcase some of the forgotten Nintendo heroes. I think the game out before Punch Out!! got a revival or sorts.

Lip, Little Mac, Takamaru, Hikari(from Donbe and Hikari) are also in that game. If that gives Takamaru a point, I think it should also give Lip one.

Also correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Sakurai also a fan of Lip's game? After all he knew of her enough to include her weapon fairly early on, and her music is appearing more and more within Smash Bros.

He thought Panel De Pon was a masterpiece and that everyone should play it.

Isaac.

ISAAC.

 

[Morbi]

Jigglypuff.

The Pros to Isaac is wildly like, and was in brawl as a AT.
The Pros to Shulk is Xenoblade being arguably the most sold game on the wii, and X
The Cons for Isaac is could still be a AT, and Isaac isn't as popular in Japan as America.
The Cons for Shulk is X could possibly, although unlikely, not be related to Xenoblade, and could be overshadowed by someone else.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Shulk deserves it more.

 

[Hotfeet444]

Somebody please say Shulk.

Shulk.
