The thing had "support"and was the "most likely" newcomer for Pokémon before anyone even knew what a "Decidueye" was.
Marshadow was in one of the movies right? how big of a role did they play?
Ridley is really really good. Super fun to play once you figure him out.
He's kinda in the Zereora(I'm never gonna spell this correctly...) camp for me too. His movie wasn't received especially well, although the whole talking Pikachu issue was so blown out of proportion that I couldn't stand being on the internet the next few days, and Marshadow was seen as being forced in for the sake of getting in that hip new Mythic/Legendary.
Well its called ultimate
You could make a meaningfully unique fighter out of, without exaggeration, hundreds of Pokemon. I've said this before, but they should just make a spin off already that's only Pokemon. Ironically, the limitation would at least superficially make it much more diverse than a certain parade of anime swordsmen.
In this case, why would we even consider it? As far as we know, there won't be many new characters added to the roster, and just saying that 6 more (on to of the 2 or 3 we already have) will be added is arguably a strech as it is.
I agree with the first paragraph but I think beyond that you're just trying to justify a bit of personal favoritism. You count Incineroar out because of Charizard being a fully evolved fire starter but justify Decidueye as a second grass type because Ivysaur is a middle stage. Look at it from Sakurai's perspective: Sakurai is looking at these characters as individual fighters and what new playstyles they might offer. The stage of evolution is a non-issue because it doesn't affect how the fighters play whatsoever - it's just a label. It's like saying we can't have more than one green-colored Pokemon, or more than one reptile Pokemon. Incineroar will still fight MUCH differently than Charizard regardless of whether Charizard were replaced by Charmeleon or Charmander. If Ivysaur were Venusaur, Decidueye's chances of being a unique fighter would be the same. Semantics like this don't affect their playstyle. I agree that there are too many water types for Primarina to stand out, but Incineroar has just as good of odds as Decidueye and is just as interesting of a fighter for Smash (in my opinion of course).
Have you tried ganon yet? How's he doing?
They did. It's called Pokken.
It better require a jab lock from his partner in doubles. 50%/instant death is bull****.
I played Ganon the most of anyone. He feels GREAT. He feels a lot like PM Ganon.
The thing I have a problem with it is that Ninten inherently doesn't have any sort of offensive PSI in his arsenal, unlike Ness and Lucas. Any similarities he, Ness and Lucas may share are strictly in terms of Restoration and Assist PSI. I can buy the headcanon of Ness and Lucas learning PK Thunder, Fire, etc from Paula and Kumatora respectively because they CAN use offensive PSI in their own games.
If you're a Pokemon fan, you owe it to yourself to see Pokken.
ALOLAN RAICHU IS A POKEBALL POKEMON?! :D
I believe the instant death effect was artistic license using stamina mode. The damage is unreal but whether or not it will need nerfing will depend on how easy and consistent it is. Moves like Finishing Touch and fully charged Flare Blade look crazy on paper too, but are fine in practice. Outside doubles I guess lol.
It’s only Sakurai Bias if it’s something they don’t like.
Ninten also holds the unfortunate accolade of being less popular than Ness or Lucas, and the casual Smash fan would just see him as a different Ness. I think the only chance he has of representation at this point would be as an Echo. I will give him that his game did get rereleased and Lucas’ didn’t, however!
Finishing Touch is dumb still, not busted like it used to be but is a pretty "dumb" move imo. A friend of mine argued Flare Blade too but you cant even land that after a shield break...its not a good argument.
Yeah. He was in the gameplay on Treehouse or the Invitational. Just somewhere at E3 he was seen. I forget where.
Very Promising.
Yep. It surfs across the screen and hits people. Kinda like a slower, straighter Lati@s.
Inklings were sick but I only played them once. Didn't play snake but he seemed the same as he was.
Treehouse Day 3. During the match between Pikachu and Mewtwo on Lumiose.
Nah, we're all still talking about the official reveal.
Only a transparently bull**** 4chan fanfiction about character trailers.
I can't link it on the computer I am using right now but GameXplain has a video detailing all of the alts in the demo including Sonic.
Glad to hear.
Octolings as echo fighters are in the same boat as Ryu and or Akuma (less so than Ken) as a Ryu echo fighter imo; they're both popular within their respective fanbases enough that their inclusion would make sense for what echo fighters are. It's the best way to give them representation in a playable fashion without having to do too much work creating a new character from the ground up.
Many thought they wouldn't, but it happened, so I don't see why it wouldn't happen now.
