Why do people think it's even possible to have Captain Toad? Do people forget that the only reason that he exists distinct from other Toads is that they specifically wanted him to not be able to jump? That's literally the main purpose of his design.
I would not worry about it too much. It is not as though it is actually going to happen. Beyond that, he does not even technically have a Breath of the Wild design. So I suspect "same old, same old."
To be honest reworking Ganon's current moveset into Black Shadow I think would please the most people when it comes to this topic (because you can't please everybody). Either give Ganon his Hyrule Warrior appearance (which I doubt), or make him an amalgamation of his various appearances throughout the series. Not sure what his physical appearance would be like, maybe a blend between Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess or an original one altogether, but he could use his trident, sword, energy tennis balls, maybe even hover and use other sorts of dark magic, who knows. They could even keep a few of his old moves like Flame Choke because they've become so synonymous with him as a character.
I could see it also be just regular Toad tbh. It could be either.
In general, I enjoy the idea because he gets to siphon Toad's merit while not being nearly as generic.
The goal is to create a character that has to overcome challenges in order to clear courses that are simple for the average platforming Toad
Regular Toad is too generic. It'd make more sense using Captain Toad.
If Nintendo wasn't really pushing him, I'd say the same thing as it really doesn't make sense given his key characteristic is not being able to jump. However I think if they really wanted to do it, they'll find some sort of way.
Or even better, keep it. That is unique, not being able to jump. Obviously they would have to mitigate that with more grounded power and he would still obviously have a recovery move. Think reverse Yoshi. But quite frankly, that is definitely his best chance at being included. Sakurai wants different play-styles to change the game rather than altering the mechanics heavily. Captain Toad fits that bill BECAUSE he cannot jump.
The best way is actually to expect nothing so you're always surprised.I wouldnt sleep an any mario newcomer at this point.
Pauline is from the super crazy game that got pushed to the moon by Nintendo.
Toad and Captain Toad have both been popular requests for a long time
Sakurai has repeatedly expressed interest in Geno, another long time popular request.
Paper Mario got his own game AND was in a Mario and Luigi game last gen/
Waluigi has yet another tennis game going for him, has been popular, and I would assume has at least been repeatedly considered if thay PotD is anything to go by
Daisy is popular I guess.
I've learned the best way to speculate is to expect all outcomes, and be prepared for the unexpectable.
"Pushed to the moon." Hahaha ha ha hahaha... I see what you did there.I wouldnt sleep an any mario newcomer at this point.

Pretty crazy how much people are arguing about whether or not the new Smash is a port. I think both camps are right. Started as a port, then devs decided to make it a full sequel.

If Splatoon 2 is a sequel, Smash Switch will be a sequel
I mainly think it’d be weird to have regular Toad as a move for Peach, but Captain Toad as a character.
To be fair, Little Mac more or less has to deal with that regardless. It would probably be worse with Toad, but there is technically a precedent.
Do you honestly want a character with a worse recovery than Little Mac? And little Mac still does have jumps to mix up his recovery a bit if he's close enough to the stage. You're asking for a character who does what Mac does but even worse.
I love this idea, a lot. If Zelda does get a Breath of the Wild costume, they will likely have to change her model. And if they do that, why not update her play-style as well? This obviously fits the bill. I love Nayru's Love, Din's Fire and Farore's Wind; however, it is about time we moved on from that.
You mean like Duck Hunt Dog as a character and on the Duck Hunt stage?
Little Mac can at least jump to Battlefield's platforms.
I had this in my Captain Toad moveset also.
Honestly I want it now. Just to do running attacks at a 90 degree angle if the stage is permitting.
And then immediately gets bodied because he's left in a very vulnerable state. Even the lowest level players could take advantage of that. Not to mention they removed tether recoveries as primary recoveries as a whole in SSB4. I know there's still tether recoveries in the game, but they aren't the primary option for any character. I know we have pointed out that design philosophies change, but that change seems highly intended and I don't imagine it's going to change.
I honestly want it as more of a gimmick than anything. It is not as though I genuinely feel as though the character would be any good. Just a "for fun" pick which is more or less what the game is about. I personally play on Omega stages anyhow, so it would not be a big deal to me personally. I doubt it would even happen, but there is no denying it would be... different.
