Regardless. Brawl was **** on and nothing was done about it. That's what matters.

But enough. These kind of discussions erupt into flames and let me be frank; I got better things to do.
brawl didn't die because of PM brawl died because the majority of its player base stopped playing

Brawl was **** on because people expected it to be like Melee, then when it was released the Melee vs. Brawl arguments began.
...How unfortunate.
brawl vs melee argument didn't start full force until a while after brawl came out. the vast majority of melee players moved to brawl then moved back to melee because they decided that melee was more fun for them. all the "it's not maylay" crap smash 4 fans saw was because brawl had been such a disappointment to melee players who largely welcomed it with open arms

Why would I not buy the game, or why am I boycotting Ryu?

Doesn't matter. Pretty much the same reasoning. Capcom is not a Nintendo subsidiary and did not deserve a second character. No third party company does.
Of course there's the argument that Ryu got in on his own merits due to him being the face of fighting games and being another gaming icon.

I didn't like the idea of Ryu at first but eventually warmed up to the idea the more I thought about it and I do think he earned his spot based on his legacy alone.

I had a dream in my afternoon map where I was in the Hunger Games and every contestant was a flower. A FLOWER. I was running away from them the entire time because they were trying to snap my neck. It ended with me getting cornered by Rainbow Dash and getting swallowed alive by her.............. :( I need a hug.

I had a dream I was starring as Solid Snake in a Metal Gear Solid tv series. It was awesome.

And that could of been fixed couldn't it? But no. Nostalgia and fear of new ways prevent any real action from being done. Brawl was left to burn while Melee prospered. I believe I said this twice now.

PM killed Brawl in its own way. People nowadays don't play brawl unless the PM mod is installed. PM killed Brawl by being, "a better Melee" and shutting out the mechanics of Brawl
Don't take this the wrong way, but how old are you? :glare:
I've been trying to avoid asking that for awhile. Or questioning his maturity as a whole. I'll leave it to you. :p

basically the melee people where really hyped for brawl then it came out t=and every one switched to brawl they played that for a while (in some cases years) than decided that it wasn't as fun as melee and moved back. a your post seemed to imply that the melee players never gave brawl a chance when they actually did

I never thought a 3rd party character would come from the same company.

I'm so glad Ryu broke that rule. Not even including the fact that Ryu is amazing in general.

How can staying in tradition with buying DLC for actual Nintendo characters be considered childish?
Not that part! The "Give me what I want or I boycott the game" part of your post.

That was the most childish thing I've ever seen and, considering the stuff I usually do IRL, that says more than you could think it does.

At least he didn't pull the 'Capcom has 2 characters, so Sega and Namco should have 2 as well' card.

Exactly, he's in-game proof that characters can get in on their own merits regardless of third party "reps".

While I don't expect another 3rd party character for Sm4sh I can easily see more 3rd party characters being considered for future iterations thanks to the ballot.

I just don't want multiple representatives for third party companies in a Nintendo all star game PERIOD. At least I still have the game, so it's just Ryu I have to boycott for now.

Then what do you call it?
I don't know, simply putting in a character based on their merits as a character and their impact? It doesn't need to be anything. Ryu comes from a franchise that helped evolved future fighting games and without it, we possibly wouldn't even have Super Smash Bros. I don't know why we have to include companies in this. He's a cool character and a big one at that.

Snake better return.
Also this. This needs to happen.

The remaining Brawl characters better return; that's all I'm going to say.
Maybe Pichu too!

Quit being such a child man. A character being from an already repped company is a terrible reason for them to not be playable. If they fun and unique who gives a ****?

Please stop with your old Youtube Poop memes, it's getting cringeworthy.

And seriously, there's no problem having Ryu in the game. He's well known, helped the fighting games to start and had potential. He's better than Snake in my opinion.

There's just 4 of them in a game of over 50 characters...

I guess it also doesn't matter that each of them are gaming icons.

I love this post.

Besides, Mega Man and Street Fighter are so drastically different from one another that it doesn't even matter if they're both from Capcom.

Almost every character in Smash is from Nintendo; should we boycott them too?

Whatever inches me closer to playing as Alex Kidd, I will fight. :4ryu:

But I'd rather have Young Link return so whatever. :4zelda:

If in the next Smash Bros (Assuming we get another Smash), we get Ryu back (and not as DLC) and every 3rd Party gets a second rep, would you not buy it?
