To be honest, currently game is filled with that kind of characters: Captain Falcon, Lucas, Young Link, Little Mac, Sheik etc.
Ike was in the game, your argument is invalid.
I am confused. Not because I'm not into anthropomorphic characters but because the guy is skinny as ****
I'm just assuming Sakurai will add newcomers from the ballot and that Sakurai made him a Mii costume because he wanted to save him for later.
I get that. But you're not what I'm talking about then, there's fans here who are convinced he's 100% in the game because "Ballot! Ridley!" I'm not against the idea but it's best not to count your chickens before they hatch
They did bring Kyrstal back as an assist and she hasn't been in a Star Fox since like 2006 and Zero rebooted the series kind of removing her from it. Sort of a similar situation to K. Rool.
So K.Rool's going to be in as a playable character because of what happened to Krystal? Can you explain why K.Rool couldn't just have the same fate?
I see.
Actually Japan loves Waddle Dees, not Bandana specifically but the whole species. I say this judging by the amount of promotional material and merchandise. Like with the Kirby Cafe from a while ago and that recent train thingy
- K. Rool is a lot more heavily requested than Krystal
Most of what you said is heavily opinionated.
To reiterate your point about Newcomer competition, on the Isaac support thread I rattled off about 20 newcomers with "unique and fun moveset potential" (ultimately Sakurai's biggest criteria for who gets in) that I could think of (some 1st party, some 3rd party). Those were definitely bottom of the barrel (well, not the third parties). People shouldn't just expect their character just because they want them.
Sakurai doesn't really care about the amount of representatives a series has, he just picks and chooses what thinks will work well.
Yeah. If Sakurai thinks that DK only needs two reps then that's fine with me.
Only his last one was an opinion wtf.
Source? And no, easily manipulated fanpolls in echo chambers don't count
Well I'd take a King K. Rool assist trophy personally. The Mii costume was nice but I'd like the croc to actually show up in person... in crocodile... whatever.
I already covered why the hair can not be used if she were to be an Echo, anatomically they're not close at all and the animation would be jacked up if they tried to get them to match, while hitboxes and hurtboxes would inevitably get changed, but it's a moot point now anyway when Diddy's jab no longer uses his tail, and his only other tail attack is a ledge getup attack that remains to be seen
Ya know, I'm already dreading the July drought.
Back in Brawl and Smash4 days, it was managable because every night had a chance of being something new that we had never seen before, and we were always on edge as to what we'd see next.
Now? We're pretty much set for the next month since Julys almost never get Directs, so everything's gonna be rehashed.
You're right. Characters who recieved Mii costumes in SSB4 don't have higher chances of being playable.
Takamaru's Mii costume was taken from his assist trophy model, K. Rool's was brand new
So was Black Knight.
Not that I disagree with you or anything (I don't), but you mean "moot" point.
Black Knight as an Ike echo would be pretty dope, though.
Oh boy Black Knight and Heihachi confirmed!
Oh I'd say Geno's popularity being a factor was 'needed' to be said as his support seemingly dropped off of the face of the Earth entirely after Brawl
First off, why are we comparing Star Fox to Donkey Kong? Krystal being an Assist Trophy has no impact on King K. Rool, or any other Donkey Kong newcomer for that matter.
Eh, I don't see the specific similarities. ZSS in Ultimate pretty much looks the same as ZSS in Smash 4 (which of course was a design based off Other M) with the biggest difference being the reduced bust size and the more muscular legs (which are definitely more thinner than in SM ZSS's concept art). The biggest difference between the concept art and Ultimate ZSS is that the former has more heavy dark blue highlights.
Except for the fact Sakurai wouldn't have had to give them the Greninja treatment since Elma exists and was recent in December 2015, when the roster for Ultimate was conceptualised. You're also ignoring the fact that Sakurai explicitly stated that Pokemon was an exception and that Robin was confirmed to have been less likely had his game released 6 months later than when it did. You can make any argument against a character look illegitimate when you deliberately twist and misinterpret them.
That actually sounds pretty cool. Overall I don't really like the Miis but Gunner and Brawler have both been pretty fun to troll my friends with. Hopefully, they would do enough to differentiate Geno from Gunner somehow.
"Imadethistoseealeak with remember that."
There could be characters representing specific builds of Mii Fighter, I could see that.
It's just ridiculously redundant, for all we know Mii Costumes could return, not to mention the only cloney character that wasn't from their own franchise is Ganondorf. I don't see Geno happening either way but if feels like a waste of time.
All I expected is Spring Man tbh and now I don't know what to expect other than Simon
Moot point, but I get what you're saying.
The Samus Returns concept art is the only time Samus was shown with muscle AFAIK. Alongside the shorter heel being shared in the designs and Samus' arms also having some muscle too, I just can't see it as Sakurai looking ahead and liking what he saw
