Yeah I'm happy to see Ridley looks like a more conventionally-designed character and that Sakurai didn't try forcing some gimmick onto him, such as the frequently suggested "reverse Little Mac", "giant character" , and "playable boss" I seen thrown around often.
I probably wouldn't be as excited as if another character was revealed, but I wouldn't be disappointed. Celica seems like she could be a pretty unique newcomer.
"Oh, neat!"
No idea, but some of the material featuring him in some form (like the Popeye vitamin store chain, and various cartoons that are more recent than the original Thimble Theater comic) could potentially complicate things.
I personally want the Rhythm Heaven rep to be Chorus Kids, but it could really be a lot of characters. I think them being the chorus kids helps them as they could use their voices as attacks and help show the game they come from is based around music and rhythm. The chorus kids' species is prominent in rhythm heaven so I could see that as another reason. There's really no telling who Sakurai would pick, although I really do not want Karate Joe. I'd rather have a character that's just as unique and quirky as Rhythm Heaven itself.
While I quite enjoyed Rhythm Heaven (DS) and Rhythm Heaven Fever, I have not played the original GBA game or Megamix. When I brought up Chorus Kids potentially being in Smash Ultimate to a friend of mine who is deep into the Rhythm heaven series (who did not know about the Gematsu leak), he said that if any Rhythm Heaven character were to get into Smash, it would be Karate Joe, due to being popular as well as appearing in every game in the series.
In the US at least, he's entering the public domain in 2024.
Rhythm Heaven character. I hardly see them be talked about even though I think their inclusion is very likely. Them along with Chrom have a very good shot in my opinion.
Bummed if it's just her and not Alm to go along with.
After reconsideration (I was bouncing between Chorus Kids and Karate Joe) I actually think Tibby will be the Rhythm Heaven rep if we were to get one. Megamix was released around the time the project plan of ultimate started and he's the only protagonist to actually have story importance around him. I think he'd be a cool character.
Actually I wouldn't be bothered by another FE newcomer. In fact, when Corrin was revealed, I reacted with this gif.If you already leaked a couple characters, why be shy on a third, no matter how "controversial" it is.
I'm guessing it's another FE character, and people will get real salted up when they see them. ExceptOpossum . It might his boy's time to shine. Or Celica.
If anyone has a screencap of Vergeben mentioning his unknown character is controversial, please post it.
K. Rool, he's the most glaring omission at this point imo, but it really is mostly for his fanbase that I want him in. I don't mind big characters at all, but I really struggle with a lack of mobility, especially in the air, and I'm pretty sure K. Rool would be Bowser/Dedede-esque in this regard, if not even worse, and I'm absolutely dreadful with them. There's also a chance that he'll be a projectile heavy/zoner character, and for the most part I do prefer being able to be as aggressive as possible.
Idk where anyone got this. He said he only knew of Simon and that he wasn’t sure of anyone else.
"Great!" I know that I have bias (my series preferences and I'm playing SOV right now), but I genuinely think that Celica would be an awesome addition to the Smash roster.
There was probably a nicer way to put this. Calm the heck down.
Wow
: Alright. Never been that big of an Animal Crossing fan, but he has some cool moves and is fun to use.: Being honest here... I absolutely despise how Mega Man plays. I get he was made to cater to his NES days, but his whole thing with relying heavily on projectiles makes him too confusing and hard to use, and even more so to fight against. Like, major props for all you Mega Mans out there - you finished a battle I couldn't.: I like wacky picks, and Wii Fit Trainer was no exception. That said, I don't play as her, but I'm glad she's on here.: I was one of the few people who think Daisy should have gotten in before her, even if she would just be a Peach clone. That said, now that Daisy IS in Ultimate I have little problems with her. Petty, I know, but that's my opinion.: I like me some Punch-Out!! representation. I can't bring myself to use him since his air game is too abysmal for my tastes, but at least the Little Mac For Glory memes back in 2014-2015 were funny.: While I would have preferred another Gen VI Pokemon to be in, Greninja's moveset and playstyle were pretty cool. A worthy addition in my book.: Never really cared for them. At least they're getting fixed in Ultimate though.: I despised her "gimmick" where she had completely different custom moves, which brought upon several issues such as me not being able to use her better attacks in All-Star Mode or online, and her entire moveset suffering because of that. While I like the direction they're taking her now... I don't think it'll be enough for me to use her. She needs to be redone or at least refocused.: One of my secondaries, a video game legend, and handles the projectile shtick much better than Mega Man imho. Had a pretty fun playstyle among other Fire Emblem characters, and was the most fun of them to use imo. I just wish the female was the default costume.: Being a "diet Marth" for those who think Marth is too hard to use or just don't want to learn him (myself included), I can't really complain about her. Plus I like her design.: Never cared for him or his playstyle, and frankly still don't really.: F**K YES!!! I was BEGGING for him since before Brawl and was not disappointed in the least when we finally got him. Super fun to use and the Koopalings being alts are icing on the cake. Definitely my favorite newcomer.: Another character that I wanted to see, and again, was satisfied with what I got. Currently one of my secondaries.: I don't despise him AS MUCH as others, but I do think he could stand to be more different from Pit.: I never cared for him and I don't like using him. Props for being unique, but he's extremely inaccessible imo.: Pretty fun to use, and the Limit Break feature is unique. Kinda glad he's getting some nerfs though, it's for the better.: No real complaints toward him but, again, wish the female was the default costume.: Like Cloud, pretty glad they're trying to nerf her, even though she still looks pretty broken. No real grudge against her otherwise.
Man I really want them to reveal another FE character so people rage again. Haven't had a good tea sipping since Waluigi was deconfirmed.
They only said it like that cuz no one bothered to listen the first time kek
I almost feel guilty about it just because of how much flak the series gets for its Smash representation, but yeah. I would be unironically happy with just about any new Fire Emblem characters.
Anyone from ARMS who isn't Twintelle. They'd probably all have really long range but laggy moves and idk if that's my playstyle :/
Man, I really love all of the visual changes for Ness, his new idle pose looks good, and the new effects and the addition of the brief square shapes to them really makes them feel so much more like they're from Mother rather than just generic magic.
Rex & Pyra
Same, it's the first thing I noticed when I saw him use his specials for the first time. Makes me happy to be a Ness main and an Earthbound fan.
I don't think he was being mean at all, just trying to clarify confusion and a misconception. Sometimes we need things bolded, or people don't listen.
Probably Dixie honestly. I really want her but I hate using Diddy and knowing that she'd be at least similar to him in terms of stats I'd probably hate using her just as much.
Probably Captain Toad. His moveset might become too gimmicky, although that didn't stop me with Duck Hunt and Bowser Jr. so who knows
Idk, I think you can get a point across without literally questioning someone's reading comprehension.
No, he actually did say that. A few people were accusing him of lying (as expected on Gamefaqs). He defended himself and said something along the lines of knowing Simon, Isabelle, and a third, more controversial character who he hasn't brought up yet.
Lycanroc isn't as strange of a pick as you would think. Even before Dusk existed, the original Lycanroc duo got quite a bit of steady promotion that was carried over in TCG and the anime. Much like Mimikyu, Game Freak had plans to push this Pokemon.
I said ignoring my post was another possibility. That is why I said and/or (as in either problems with either reading comprehension, ignoring the earlier post, or a combination of the two). Interestingly enough, your own post is a good example of a lack of reading comprehension unfortunately. Those were three possibilities. You erred on the side that I said only reading comprehension.
I only bolded because this topic moves quickly and people tend to ignore posts to conversations that might put the ongoing one to an abrupt holt. Here is the thing though. What I did? It actually stopped the "controversial" thing dead in its tracks.
Honestly? I wouldn't be surprised at all if Sakurai had a soft spot for Gaiden. It kind of shows in, of all things, Smash's music.
And that's still insulting others regardless. That's not acceptable here. Knock it off.
Doesn't matter. You don't have any right to try and take control of the conversation. Consider this a hard warning.
