So there's rumors of a Static Shock movie with Jaden Smith starring as Virgil

How Can Static Be Real If Our Eyes Aren't Real?

Almost the entire roster in smash throws a punch and each and every one of them is unque so why cant a stylized character from Punch out not be able to use their own unique punches and special moves? And Mac's gimmick is the power meter from super punch out which non of the opponent characters have in any game.

The opponent characters of Punch out having their own style that is wildly different from Mac immediately makes them stand out.
Mac needed moves pulled out of thin air in order to stand out, so Id be very surprised if characters with a full list of unique moves had trouble standing out.
The entire Smash roster isn't punches and swords. It's full of characters with unique balances and gimmicks that make them stand out. Little Mac himself only barely made it in because Sakurai thought up that "ain't no air fighter" thing.

Personality is no reason to add a character. And the problem with just adding moves is that you then have to build a significantly unique character out of it, which is again something Sakurai struggled with when making Mac. Characters either need to be significantly unique, a Pokemon of Game Freak's choice, or a clone to get into Smash.

It was one of my favorite shows too
But I would prefer a more mature actor for the role
Its sad, but all the "mature" actors I think of are white

And I don't WANT a white actor to play a canon black super hero, as bad as that sounds.

inb4 they pick some white actor like Zac Efron and ruin the whole actual image of Static Shock

Thats like making Hiro for BH6 go from full Asian to Asian/American beause why not?

Didn't they pick Zac Efron for American live action Death Note before there was no news of it ever again? :p

People are suggesting Donald Glover for the role, despite he's on his 30s
Or Daniel Curtis Lee (Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide)

Say, just curious, when did Sakurai say that? 'Cause I don't remember it.
I'm pretty sure he never said it.
But I don't think Lancer is trying to say that he said it, I think he's trying to say that that's why Little Mac got in.
Granted, we have no way of knowing whether Sakurai though that up before or after LM was chosen to be in for sure, but he makes a good point. Characters in Smash really are full of unique gimmicks.
All of the Newcomes (Barring DP and Lucina)have their own cool gimmicks to them.
There's more to them than just regular punches and kicks.

For some reason, I just pictured Glover in Smash Bros.
...
Glover for Smash.

The SSB4 direct, AKA the SSB3D direct. When he starts to talk about, guess who, Little Mac. "While it was difficult to come up with a moveset for a character that only punches, I think I found something unique and fun." ...Or something. First bit is definitely true, been awhile since I've watched it.

I'm about to have me some peanut butter cup ice cream with dark chocolate chips and dark chocolate syrup.

If only I had a banana, a cherry, and some whipped cream, it'd be a full on sundae.

Sorry, I had left for my cousin's graduation ceremony.
Not much. Just going to start doing some progress on the drawing.
That's cool. Is it the same avatar you have right now in a different angle?
Edit: I just saw the picture at the top of this page. So that answers my question. :chuckle:
I can't remember how my first match I've seen was, but it was around ten years ago now. I recall Triple H and Kurt Angle being on Raw at one point, but that's about it. Trips is semi active, Taker only wrestles at WrestleMania, Cena and Orton are still some top dogs, and a boatload of new faces are in. Some of the finishers we have today seems more impactful than ten years ago
I had first watched WWE shows 7 years ago. (Christian's theme song was always my favorite.) For about a year or two, I would watch Raw and SmackDown every week. Then I lost interest. And now I don't.

I'm now living at my grandma's house four nights a week because of a temp job until mid-July. She served me watermelon. I don't really like watermelon, but I don't want to be rude :(

TBH, I figured I wasn't truly getting what you were saying, but I posted it anyway.

Well, it's actually the person renting out a room from my grandma who served it to me. I must finish the 5 slices...is it rude to not finish fruit when it's given to me?

As long as it wasn't like a Yoshi spitting out the seeds to defeat certain enemies, you're okay.

Now you remind me that I've never met my grandma.

Thats the thing though, Sakurai had to work with a limited potential with Mac which was a character that only knew how to do hooks and jabs and a spinning uppercut which even by boxing standards is not a variety of attacks. Sakurai literally had next to nothing to work with for Mac. Its pretty different from characters that can do more unique moves such as the Von Kaiser wave and Dreamland express.

Mac was a blank slate with nothing to work with except for one move so that would be why it was difficult.
