Are Miis even getting costumes this time?What if Goku got a mii costume, opening the door to non gaming representation without taking a spot in the roster? How would y'all feel about that?
I was using Waluigi as a reference. He is special to his fans, but why? I couldn’t tell you, but his inclusion in Smash would make a lot of people happy. And that’s the cream of the crop amongst reasons to include a character. Smash is about celebration and people wanna celebrate Waluigi and Geno.I didn’t say Waluigi was special but sure man, whatever.
I wasn’t questioning why people wanted a character they liked but why this particular character was on an A-rank level of demand compared to more common frequent characters. That’s what I’m “looking for”.
I don’t like the special fan-made rules either and I sure as hell don’t make them, some of them apply to my wanted as well.
I’d hate it, I know people will argue that it’s just a costume, but that isn’t the issue.What if Goku got a mii costume, opening the door to non gaming representation without taking a spot in the roster? How would y'all feel about that?
It seems kinda pointless to even have the Miis if you can't customize their looks...Are Miis even getting costumes this time?
Honestly, I sometimes wonder 'who' or 'what' started the Geno hype.
He's a character from a one-off game that never got a true sequel, yet I remember all the way back on Nsider how much hype Geno had as far back as Brawl speculation.
And now he has a Mii Fighter costume in 4, with a legit(Dare I saw really good) chance of being playable.
Just, how the hell did we end up here after all these years?
I would seriously love someone to do a retrospective on the Geno fanbase if possible.
I'll cancel my preorder and never touch any Nintendo game again. How dare they choose to represent Goku before adding my beloved [insert character here].What if Goku got a mii costume, opening the door to non gaming representation without taking a spot in the roster?

Ah jeez I hope so. I actually had a lot of fun trying to make Miis look as much like certain characters as possible and trying to match up the best costumes and hats for them was a huge part of that.Are Miis even getting costumes this time?
Viridi please!Did Emily Rogers said that KI is getting a new character if what she saying is true Hades anyone.
I'll throw away all of my Smash games and I will not buy Ultimate.What if Goku got a mii costume, opening the door to non gaming representation without taking a spot in the roster? How would y'all feel about that?
Tekken and Mortal Kombat feature original characters while the whole premise of smash is this huge gaming crossover with gaming icons. Adding a 4th party ruins that whole videogame part. Having a guest character in your typical fighting game is something completely different.My point is that Negan is a completely ****ing random addition in Tekken who doesn't fit at all. Meaning a fighting game with a non video game character isn't that ridiculous anymore.
Jason's a slasher movie character in a franchise about gore, that at least fits well
Hades would be great. But I'm expecting Medusa or Viridi as echoes of Palutena. Still cool tho.Did Emily Rogers said that KI is getting a new character if what she saying is true Hades anyone.
Geno is less deserving of a place in smash than Waluigi. He should never make it in.Honestly, I sometimes wonder 'who' or 'what' started the Geno hype.

Duck Hunt is a highly iconic Nintendo game. So many people remember and make jokes about how much they hate that laughing dog. He's an icon! Regular mainstream people and non-Nintendo fans even know the infamous laugh.What exactly made Duck Hunt, R.O.B. Or Mr. Game and Watch special? None of those had any kind of fan base worth mentioning and they are as old as the cosmos.
Actually they did own the rights to the Kremlings etc but gave them up to Nintendo when they got sold to Microsoft.People who argued K. Rool were owned by Rare are misinformed b
GokuBut if we were to get Geno in say, the next Direct.... then I'd have absolutely no ****ing clue who Sakurai would be saving to show off last that could top Ridley, K,Rool AND Geno.
Hijinx is easy.Ok, so, I need to point something out. So far there are only around 17 stages missing from the previous smash games in this game. Those include:
Sector Z and Planet Zebes from 64
Icicle Mountain, Mushroom Kingdom (Melee), Flat Zone, Mute City, and Pokefloats from Melee
Rumble Falls, Flat Zone 2, and Pictochat from Brawl
Rainbow Road and Pac-Maze from 3DS
Jungle Hijinx, Pyrosphere, Woolly World, Orbital Gate Assault, and Miiverse from Wii U
Let's go through those shall we.
Planet Zebes and Sector Z are both VERY similar to Brinstar and Corneria respectively so those being out isn't a big surprise.
Icicle Mountain is one of the weird Verticle strollers so seeing it gone is probably a good thing. Mushroom Kingdom is super similar to the 64 version. Mute City is similar to Port Town although there is evidence that supports Mute City returning despite that. Flat Zone IS actually confirmed, it was combined with Flat Zone 2 in For to make Flat Zone X. And last but not least Pokefloats, this is a weird stage but in a good way I think it's one of those weird fan favorites and it's baffling it isn't already announced.
Rumble Falls is another weird verticle scrolled and it's definitely the hardest to play on. Flat Zone 2 is Flat Zone X now so confirmed. And Pictochat, which just has different drawings than Pictochat 2.
Rainbow Road is a great stage and if really isn't coming it'll be sad BUT it's not super surprising since it would take a remaster. Pac-Maze being out is baffling, to the point that I want to use it as an example we're getting more stages but I won't.
Here's the good ones.
Jungle Hijinx... uh, no ****ing way, why? It's like the best DK stage in Wii U! Pyrosphere, again, why? Because Ridley is playable we can't get this badass stage back? Makes no sense. Woolly World, what the actual hell? This stage is perfect, it is one of the most unique Yoshi stages to ever appear but it's just not happening? Orbital Gate Assault, ok I know that every stage is going to have 8-Player battles on them and that could make this stage incredibly hectic, but Rainbow Cruise would do the same thing! Plenty of other stages, like Big Blue, would be even more hectic. So what's the good excuse for keeping the most gorgeous stage in Wii U out? Miiverse, ok, yeah that makes sense. Not surprised by that one at all.
So what's my point here? My point is the Wii U stages there's 5 of them. 5! That's more than any other game in the series. They're also the most easily portable. Cleaning them up a bit and sending them over is nothing compared to what's been done with the 3DS stages and that one is only missing 2! Melee is only missing 3! So, why then is Wii U missing 5? I don't think it is. I don't know why they haven't been shown but I think Jungle Hijinx, Pyroshpere, and Woolly world AT LEAST are happening. OGA, sure is a very complicated stage so it could be problematic but those 3? Nothings wrong with them. They could be easily done.
I say all this to say, I think some of us are taking the word "Total" too literally. I don't think they would lock themselves in a box on character reveals be abuse of stages, and I dont think those 3 specific stages are cut. I just can not fathom why they would be. It makes no sense.
Fair points. But I wasn’t in any way trying to dismiss their importance to Nintendo. I was only answering a question that I feel wasn’t warranted.Duck Hunt is a highly iconic Nintendo game. So many people remember and make jokes about how much they hate that laughing dog. He's an icon! Regular mainstream people and non-Nintendo fans even know the infamous laugh.
Game & Watch was a hugely important and successful product line that helped establish Nintendo as a gaming company. They released hundred of those things!
R. O. B. was also an important part of Nintendo history as he was used to promote the NES during the video game crash. A time when people were unsure if video games were worth getting.
All these characters are hugely important and represent something big to Nintendo. Honestly you should have used Ice Climber as an example as that wasn't a very popular NES game. I guess you could say it was important because it launched with the system... But so many other more famous and successful games did as well. I'm pretty sure Sakurai just chose them because he wanted a two in one fighter and thought they'd be a good fit.
So aside from Ice Climbers, a lot of retro characters represent something important in Nintendo history or are hugely iconic. Even more contemporary oddballs like Wii Fit Trainer represent an important part of recent Nintendo history.
Geno... I feel his importance to Nintendo or Mario has been overblown a bit. Not to say he's undeserving. His game was popular and he does represent a time when Square and Nintendo were friends but I don't think that comes close to those other characters mentioned. For the reasons I described above.
Many people forget the stage had a 3DS-exclusive gimmick where the power pellets made only the character who ontained them able to defeat the ghosts, (and as a result, they only displayed as blue on that character’s screen.)Pac-Maze being out is baffling, to the point that I want to use it as an example we're getting more stages but I won't.
Stage Morph. Imagine what would happen if it were to trigger while someone was in the background of the stage.Jungle Hijinx... uh, no ****ing way, why? It's like the best DK stage in Wii U!
Golden Plains had a very similar gimmick and was also 3DS exclusive so Pacmaze doesn't really have an excuseMany people forget the stage had a 3DS-exclusive gimmick where the power pellets made only the character who ontained them able to defeat the ghosts, (and as a result, they only displayed as blue on that character’s screen.)

That said, you got me on Rainbow Road/Wooly World/Orbital Gate Assault. Those three stages alone are not enough to convince me that we’re getting more unrevealed stages, though. I’m pretty confident that we’re launching with 103 and the “Monster Hunter stage” in the direct is only for a single-player Rathalos boss fight. This also probably means that there aren’t any more 3rd parties in the base roster, (other than potentially Geno,) since every 3rd party so far has an accompanying home stage.
Imma need a source, because Kremlings and stuff are Donkey Kong characters, and Microsoft thought they were getting Donkey Kong along the rest of Rare so that doesn't make senseActually they did own the rights to the Kremlings etc but gave them up to Nintendo when they got sold to Microsoft.

Golden Plains just had an individual coin display. That’s an easy fix; add one coin display next to every playable character’s profile at the bottom of the screen. However, there isn’t really any way to make the ghosts appear blue to the person who picks up a power pellet and normal to everyone else unless multiple screens are involved.Golden Plains had a very similar gimmick and was also 3DS exclusive so Pacmaze doesn't really have an excuse
It went Attack > Defence > Speed > Attack where increasing the left one reduces the one on the right.Oh! Had a thought on the “Custom Balance” option for Smash.
Remember the custom equipment that changed character properties like weight, power and speed?
I’m guessing they are scrapping those and letting you choose to adjust those setting manually like on a scale, rather than having to collect a bunch of equipment.
Just like the equipment, every choice will have drawbacks. Higher power may decrease your weight or speed. Higher speed may decrease your power or weight.(I can’t remember the specific trade-offs in 4).
Nah that a myth. Microsoft aren't so stupid, their legal team would have made them very aware of what IPs they're getting.and Microsoft thought they were getting Donkey Kong along the rest of Rare so that doesn't make sense
We got a 7 Fire Emblem Character, so I can see a 4th KI character.Aw geez, do we really need another KI character? Especially after the massive amount of attention Uprising’s representation got in 4? Granted Medusa, Hades, or anyone is a better pick than Dark Pit but still tho.
I wouldn’t be angry if a 4th KI character got in, just annoyed.
On a different subject, I do hope they eventually bring the missing stages for DLC.
But but but... but i don't like it!We're gonna get Hades as the new Falcondorf, Medusa as a Palutena Echo amd Magnus as an Ike Echo and ya'll are gonna like it.
And with Ridley and K. Rool I'm sure Sakurai would want to add KI's villain as well.If it's a new KI character that's going to be an Echo, Medusa's the only one that makes sense.
Viridi's hitboxes would be smaller than Palutena since she's shorter, likewise, you could probably slap a new head on the Palutena model and get Medusa out of it.
