lol I missed this question. I like this type - we need more off-the-wall questions like this.
Yeah, but back then, clones weren't really seen positively either.
). The wacky characters where Sakurai would have to take major artistic liberties, like Duck Hunt, tend to be because they're special characters. The question is, would Sakurai value a popular character without a natural moveset, or a less popular character with a more viable moveset? Ideally, he'd pick characters with both, but it would likely lean the latter. I personally don't like the idea of putting in a character for the sake of the character alone (and I feel the same way about Bandana Dee, Skull Kid, Geno, but they all have way more potential still).
Yeah virtually deconfirmed at this point. Sure some might cite 'Alfonzo' but really he's just a backround character, it wouldn't make sense for Sakurai to put him in the backround of the stage if he didn't intentionally play a focal point and then add playable Captain Toad.
Right now I have three most wanteds so i'll go through my options.
Stage appearances have always been iffy, but I consider that the best representation he'll get. I was just responding to those asking why Captain Toad was popular--and I can't figure out why, other than people like the character.
That's about as unlikely, if not even moreso unless Peach gets to finally ditch Toad being her Special for good. Though I can't see it ever happening now that it's been going on 3 games in a row. At least Captain Toad had established a more stronger identity independent from Peach up to this point...
- Elma: probably wouldn’t cook as well as Lin, but at least she wouldn’t try to cook Tatsu lmao
Not saying I'm a Captain Toad supporter (because I'm not), but it's not really a deconfirmation.
Seems rather amusing how someone would fake this on Miku's anniversary.She's in!
Am not following this logic.
Where do people keep getting the idea that Castlevania was non ballot?
Captain Toad is a puzzle game and his moveset should pull from that, not that he's unable to jump. Just give him a weak jump like Mac, or have it so where he can incorporate his backpack to effect how high he can jump. Plus, Toad's are known to have weak jumps as seen in Super Mario Bros 2 and Super Mario 3D World, the weak jump should already be incorporated. There's also that one scene at the end of the game where he jumps to get inside the clear pipe soMy problem with Captain Toad is it's a PLATFORMING fighter--what distinguishes Smash from many other fighters is how it takes it's cues from the platforming games its traditional characters originated in. It seems like in order to stay true to the character of Captain Toad, like his games, you'd have to design the stages to facilitate his play style, which is backwards.
Yes, of course you could design a moveset without him jumping--any character, no matter how stupid, can be made to have a moveset (Steve, for instance
All that having been said--I wouldn't be salty if Sakurai put Captain Toad in. I'd just think of it as highly unlikely. And personally, I'd rather have a Toad/Toadette combo to Captain Toad--way more interesting possibilities.
.
I agree it's unlikely, I'd say it's for sure not happening. I was just stating my preference, as I have zero interest in Captain Toad, but would be interesting to see what regular toad could do. I always thought Toad being in Peach's moveset was too silly (and looks really weird), so I'd be happy for her to ditch Toad. Not gonna happen, but I don't consider Captain Toad a welcomed compromise either.
Which is why I say I wouldn't be salty if he's in, I just can't understand the appeal myself. The movesets people have come up with seem like a workaround for a hindrance, rather than naturally adding to the gameplay from his unique attributes. If Sakurai wanted him, I'm sure he could come up with something--I just find the likelihood rather small. I just haven't seen why people want him in as a fighter, other than liking the character, but I'm willing and hopeful for someone to change my mind.Captain Toad is a puzzle game and his moveset should pull from that, not that he's unable to jump.

Yoshi is also a Mario character, though. Even if he has his own sub-franchise, he still originates from Mario. You could argue he's both a Mario rep and a Yoshi rep.
A good chunk of Simon's moves, Final Smash included, are taken from Richter. This makes me think that they just added him for the sake of being more accurate while still having the more iconic Simon.
Then Boshi definitely deserves a double pair of shades
That's DK/Karate Joe levels of stretching.
As said he was also up there in the ballot which most of the newcomers (Echos included) have been.
Does that mean Boshi doesn't commit tax fraud?
No, he actually overcharges people on their taxes... somehow...
That's an assumption. We don't have official ballot information. The only thing we know regarding new characters and the ballot is K. Rool getting a lot of votes.
That's a good point as he probably was. But if we're gonna use the Ratholos hint as legit, then the chairs and DK pose should be as well.
Toy Car is Laboman's side special.
I can believe the chairs (Seems to imply the fairies associated with Skull Kid) since along with the the pillows on the right seems to indicate Skull Kid. Sakurai did the exact same thing with K. Rool with that ladder and jungle plants.
It's kind of odd too since Captain was already deconfirmed eons ago, so IDK if there's too much substantial discussion going to come out about him during this period.
I mainly wanna roll with the Captain due his more established identity because Toads today really have been designated on the whole"civil NPC"-thing in abundance, and there's nothing allowed to let them build their own character (unlike Bandana Dee). Toad being Peach's special these days doesn't help either, and Captain seems to drive well enough to establish himself as a sole Toad who could be passed the old well-known attributes about the race (weak jump but tons of power if put on Smash)
Cause Sakurai would likely want to focus on getting the Ballot characters out first, rather than just having Echoes follow for each one in suit.
I'm going to explore this with 3 chars I really want:
This is...a lot of assumptions and I still don't think I really follow...
Can you stop ****ting on that every time it's brought up? It's not nearly as ridiculous as you make it out to be imo.
