Well more diversity among the heavyweights is welcomed, none of them are air fighters with much mobility when air born.
and this, also. he's too big (of a deal) to not be in the game at this point
I don’t even care for Metroid games, I just think he deserves a spot at this point. One of the most requested characters in the history of Smash, and he still gets the short end of the stick with every game. It’s not like he’s an obscure character, he shows up almost every game... and we need more bad guys,
I can't imagine why.
Well, for me there are several parts to this.
Which is kind of weird how
is still pretty bad in the air.
Petition to make Charizard an aerial grappler instead of a ****ty Booz cloneWhich is kind of weird how
Because in a game where you have to knock your opponent out of the stage to win; it's not a brilliant idea to give a character a large frame AND high air mobility at the same time.Which is kind of weird how
Okay but imagine a video starts playing that we think is Prime 4 but then ridley shows up and zooms in on his eye...
Is just that though. A huge character with a lot of air mobility, is he not?
King Dedede? Background of Dreamland 64 which came back in Melee.
I should say "apart from playable characters".
Welcome to the Mimikyu supporters! Everything you said and more is why I think Mimikyu is so likely and that anyone who thinks he doesn't stand a chance or wouldn't work are missing out.
I had originally predicted any new Metroid rep because the series would get new representation with Prime 4. But after being involved with speculation I've realized people would be super dissapointed in a Metroid rep that wasn't Ridley. Plus he's the second most reccuring character. I personally want him as a character regardless of representation and I think most people feel the same.
I have been hoping for this since the Inkling reveal
As it stands we're never gonna get another metroid character if we don't get ridley first, the backlash to any other character would be too big, even if sylux were to play a big part in Prime 4 I don't see it happening unless Ridley came first tbh
Probably planned for the tournament. I mean they have yet to show off the cast and already invited the players to it. I'd say despite the leak its very likely the game ported all the cast over. The contenders will already know how to play them since its basically Smash 4 at that point.
Thank you.
Ah yes, just like how Melee was basically 64. And Brawl was basically Melee. And 4 was basically Brawl. All smash games play the same, that's why there's a massive divide in the community.
Not the same balance and stuff... But (mostly) the same moves they already know, so it will take less time to get used compared to using a Newcomer.
something tells me the smash dev team doesn't care about backlash from Ridley not being playable, lol.
There were also far less characters in each game. I mean 58 characters is A LOT at this point. It makes so much more sense time and resource wise to just build upon Wii U and turn it into a new game. They can still tweak the engine and gameplay, and revamp movesets heavily. They aren't mutually exclusive things and game developers reuse assets and engines all the time to make sequels.
Even though it's likely that most of the assets were directly ported from Smash Wii U, do you really think they would just go ahead and reveal all 58 veterans at E3 in addition to a few newcomers? Personally, I don't think that's very likely, even if all the characters really do end up returning. I just can't imagine them not saving some veterans for the future, especially if quite a few of the characters got some new moves. Seems like they'd want to save them for a later date so they could go more in depth with their movesets and changes.
Whispy Woods.
The smash 4 invitational had 20 characters available, 6 newcomers and 14 vets. I'd place my bets on a similar scenario happening tbh
For Mario Kart Deluxe and Pokken Deluxe they revealed the entire roster returning right away. They are very limited on time for reveals so I imagine a blitz announcement like this is very possible. And again if its a new roster why wait until the day of the tournament to reveal it giving the contenders no time to prep. They are already prepping hard with Smash 4 in hopes its similar.
That's not necessarily true. Pikachu is in every Smash game, and plays pretty damn differently in each one. Meta Knight went from playing an incredibly defensive, evasive game to being pure rushdown. Bowser went from a bad character to a grappler. Even among characters whose overall game plan doesn't change, what you do with them can change completely. ICs don't really play all that differently from Melee to Brawl on a macro level, but it took quite a while for people to figure out their chaingrab infinite. Even if nothing about the character changes, the universal mechanics can change everything.
Pokken Deluxe was just a port of the arcade version. Save for Decidueye(I think), we already knew the whole roster.
It might be too early, but I will take an extreme risk and bank on the leak being real before insiders get into it and make the leak more credible. So here is a new prediction roster:
Still, I am going to admit that I was wrong about Ridley and Simon. So I will not get bragging points from that regardless if the leak ends up being real.
If the leak ends up being wrong, ah well. It will cost me somewhat. It is fun to bet anyway.
I promise analyses for newcomer additions like Ridley, Mii Mage, and Simon will come soon. When all those analyses are done, then my prediction roster will be completed and the full roster post will come.
Definitely an improvement over your previous prediction rosters. Feels like this is closer to what we might actually get (however, I still think you're going a bit overboard with those AC and third-party reps).It might be too early, but I will take an extreme risk and bank on the leak being real before insiders get into it and make the leak more credible.

Same here. I'm not expecting the tournament to include practically every character except a few unrevealed newcomers.
MK8D and PTD were direct ports. If this is being marketed as any kind of new game, revealing the roster all at once (or at least all but a few newcomers) would be a bad decision. If I were them, I would go the same route as Splatoon 2 and gradually show more and more of the game through random Directs and presentations. Heck, Pearl and Marina weren't officially revealed until a Splatoon 2 Direct in July that was literally a few weeks before release. That was a good move IMO, as it got lots of people talking about the game right before it launched.
Are you the boss of a company that makes roster pictures?It might be too early, but I will take an extreme risk and bank on the leak being real before insiders get into it and make the leak more credible. So here is a new prediction roster:

With the addition of Ridley, the fact you took out transformations (is that old or did you just do that) and got rid of the "clone row" it almost feels like you're trying to get me to love your roster....then I see Dr. Kawashima/two animal crossing reps/certain third parties and I go...no bluepikmin lolIt might be too early, but I will take an extreme risk and bank on the leak being real before insiders get into it and make the leak more credible.

Almost the roster I expect beside the two new AC/Two new XENO/OCTO line- and iffy about Heihachi, Lycanroc and Layton-It might be too early, but I will take an extreme risk and bank on the leak being real before insiders get into it and make the leak more credible.

So, I've wondered this before but haven't asked yet (or at least I don't remember asking lol), what's with the noticeable absence of Bandana Dee? Are you in my camp of thinking that Sakurai's work is heavily influenced by his own biases, do you think Bandana Dee isn't important enough to get in, or is it another reason that's different than both of those?It might be too early, but I will take an extreme risk and bank on the leak being real before insiders get into it and make the leak more credible.

Ridley's appearance in Melee's opening is what got me to check out Metroid in the first place, as a kid I thought getting to fight enemies like that could only mean Metroid games are amazing. I was proven right as Metroid has been my favorite video game series ever since, although it has more to do with the amazing game design and not just shooting the **** out of dragons like my youthful head thought automatically made a game awesome. I think my own experience says a lot about Ridley though, even before I got my hands on any Metroid game I was questioning why the cool dragon from the intro wasn't playable, the character himself has a timeless appeal that will resonate with people who have never touched a Metroid game before just based on design alone, and I can guarantee you that he'll sell games simply by being on the cover. My great experience with Metroid also lead me to explore even more series that were present in Smash, so in a way Ridley's short appearance started the chain effect that would eventually make me the huge Nintendo fan that I am today.
