Gonna fess up:
Okay, seriously, what is the ****ing point of revealing unlockable characters early. That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
If that's the case, I still want Little Mac as a starter. I'll be able to scratch the need for a glass cannon in Smash finally.
I remember going on a news site on launch day for Japan and severely regretting it because someone forgot spoilter tags.. (regarding Brawl) There's an element of surprise missing.
I hope so.
I'm pretty sure Little Mac is a starting character regardless of whether unlockable characters exist in the game or not. Same with Villager. The only one who legitimately surprises me is Wii Fit Trainer, but that could be a case of promotion being put ahead of Sakurai's trolling tendencies.
They could just release the trailers after the Japanese release like they did with characters in Brawl.
Ok the. Explain how sonic and megaman got revealed when in brawl sonic and snake had to be unlock because they were third party
Why not Mr. G&W? Or Lucario?
Lucario's mechanic isn't very glass cannon. He's a medium-weight, who has a mechanic for getting hit, not one which asks you with a subtle undertone to not get hit or you will die.
Also, Marth and Lucario have a high chance of being unlockable.
10th anniversary of the Fire Emblem series finally reaching North America? November 3, 2003.... though it was on a Sunday in 2013... but Marth was confirmed on November 7, 2013... and Fire Emblem 7 was the game that came to North America in 2003.
Melee Jigglypuff was basically one if anything. Easy to kill at low percents due to light weight and floatiness. However due to her rest, which got nerfed in Brawl >_>, and her gimping power she was pretty much able to kill opponents early. :L
And Captain Falcon and Ness
Jiggs is a partial Glass Cannon, but I see her as more of a... what's the word... Acrobatic Air Troll? She's not very fast, she just has a superb kill weapon.
Well, if anything, would Little Mac then be a "Fragile Speedster"?
Move speed has nothing to do with a glass canon. All it means is something that can kill early, and it doesn't have to be super fast either, with usually just one hit but in return can be killed very easily. Jiggs definitely falls under that.
I think the term would be "Killer Rabbit".
I guess you could say that. My ideal glass cannon lies around low health characters with high speed or power. Think Phoenix from UMVC3 or Shin Akuma.
It can have a very different effect. The large majority of glass cannons are ridiculously fast and either are able to attack at incredibly fast rates (Ragna or Tao from Blazblue) or have attacks that are powerful but not very fast. Jiggs can fall under the latter, I suppose. I used to main Jiggs in Melee and I played a weird kind of Jiggs. Where you don't use Rest that often.
Get the Holy Hand Grenade.
Sakurai only acknowledges Japanese release dates and anniversaries, remember?
Combine that with a light weight and you've got a character who you can kill pretty easily just by getting him off stage.
They really aren't.
I know the majority are, buuuuuut, the term glass canon itself has nothing to do with speed and not all glass canons are fast. It really just needs two requirements, very easy to kill and able to kill early or hit like 5 trucks. Jiggs meets both, at least in Melee, less so in Brawl.
Er... Do you mean all release dates, or just dates for older games that have been released the past?
I was being facetious.
Run away! Run away!Get the Holy Hand Grenade.
Pretty much. I think his worst problem will be characters with a great air game (like Meta Knight).
The turtle.
Which is why I love him.
That just supports him NOT being a glass canon rofl.
Fine then.
They aren't exactly OHKO moves and don't exactly hit like a truck.
Just imagine... if Wii Fit Trainer wasn't confirmed at E3 2013... and instead she was confirmed on December 18, 2013 instead of Rosalina & Luma... to promote Wii Fit U... people would be crying that Sakurai ruined Christmas.
Well, then.
I already said. A troll character. His moves have weird properties, rely on RNG, he has awkward and deceiving movement. He is a troll basically. e_e
I think a better term would be "high risk, high reward." Even then, it doesn't really sum up G&W well.
I'll agree that he does have weird properties. Though only ones on his moves rely on RNG. And not exactly one to rely on for KOing (F-Smash would be a better choice)...
Or "Confusion Fu".
He's just too many things. Risky Hammer, annoying Food, Useless Down Special, annoying Up Special, Ridiculous FS, Turtle...
I dunno, GnW has quite a few safe moves, like the turtle or any of his aerials really and some of his smashes are even safe. "Troll" character is the best I can think of for GnW. He's a really hard to define character in one term.
Maybe "Clown Fighter"?
Those could work.
His Down+B move is not really useless if you know how to use it... for example...
Then he'd actually fight with clown tools. And look horrifying.
He's one of those weird characters that fits into a lot of archetypes.
It's very conditional. Too much to be that useful.
