I do not believe it is overly likely, but at the same time, I feel as though he is among the most likely in general. I can see Xenoblade more or less becoming the next Fire Emblem, easily. But at the same time, not sure if Shulk needs to be there as a result.
Yeah, since his backpack's weight is preventing him from jumping, all he has to do is wear a jetpack on his back to get over that obstacle.
You're missing the part where CT only exists as a character because they needed a reason for Toad to not be able to jump
Couldn't you make this exact sentiment for Marth?
I think that discussion was created because, somewhere, it's officially stated that Captain Toad is incapable of jumping, whereas with the rest of them, it's just perceived that they can't jump because they don't really jump in their games beyond specific scenarios.
Imagine if Sonic LITERALLY sank like a rock when hitting the water in Smash.
At least the Toad from Super Mario 3D World actually can jump, but his jumping skills were the worst of all the playable characters.
Well, yeah, and I do.
Ditto. Little Mac is one of the most unique characters in the game despite the fact that everyone thought he would be hyper-generic. Can you even be hyper-generic or is that an oxymoron? Either way, I was upset about the removal of Mewtwo and confused by the removal of Wolf, but I definitely go crazy if Mac was cut.
Do not worry, I am sure that Nintendo will keep Little Mac for the rest of the time that the Smash Bros. series exists. He has became an iconic retro character at this point and I would throw a fit if he was gone as well. I love playing Little Mac, his smash attacks and jabs are so strong.
I agree with you 100%. Captain Toad should have a jump, it should just be the lowest jump height out of anyone only by a little bit though. Captain Toad should be able to jump, because if he did not jump, than that would be really unfair for Captain Toad players. Captain Toad for Smash in Switch!
Okay. I see now. That’s plausible I suppose. I put Shulk in that “poster boy” category though. He’s the main protagonist of the first title of this growing series. I see what you’re getting at though. I don’t see why Xenoblade couldn’t have two reps though. Shulk and Rex & Pyra (as a unit). I think that’d be fair.
To add to this, I remember reading that Mewtwo would've made it into Brawl if Sonic wasn't rushed in due to fan demand. Characters are really only ever cut due to time constraints leaving the low priority characters out to dry, so predicting cuts should be based around which characters you think are low priority.
That being said, if characters such as Mewtwo or Wolf were "low priority" it is nearly impossible to actually predict that. You would have to know the move-sets or their stance on modeling somehow. So while you are objectively correct, it just is not practical to think in those terms.
That's true, but there is really a solid argument for any character. Those are just weaker than others.
Then you have characters like Sonic, Inklings and Charizard who can't swim and the little fanfic on how Ness and Lucas aquired their friends PK abilities even though it took one of them vigorous training in canon. Smash isn't shy of taking creative liberties. Just say that Toad lightened up his backpack a bit for Smash as someone else stated.
I think it's because it's been explicitly stated why he can't jump (because of the backpack?), but even so, cross-overs like this have to take liberties in order for balance to work, so Captain Toad should be able to jump somehow if in Smash. Even though a stretch, he jumps in Super Mario Maker for example, because otherwise the gameplay just wouldn't work.
Well in fairness, not being able to jump in a game =/= being explicitly told that they are physically unable to jump.
~ Valkyrie ~
on this one; him having lower jumps and heavyweight status should be more than enough to reference how his backpack makes him unable to jump.
HOPE FOR RIDLEY!
Funky is just DK with a bandana and sunglasses.
They could just say in a trophy description that he packed lighter, if they even need to explain it at all. From what I recall, Charizard is supposed to outright die if his tail flame is doused, and yet he can swim and get hit by water attacks all day in Smash without any issues.
Yeah, I'm totally agreeing with you on this, people tend to take Capt. Toad's "no jumping" thing a tad too seriously, there'll always be a way around it and not everything is 100% in character in Smash.
but cooler
Honestly, the outfit and posture make him far less DK than Dixie's slight variance makes her to Diddy. I guess it also helps that he is injected with personality rather than just being a little Mrs. Male character.
I would hate to break it to you (pun intended); however, flatulence is colorless. It is not yellow, you might be thinking of mustard gas.
I wanted both at one point or another; however, both revealed at the same time would probably be the most disappointing reveal in Smash history.
How about... Simon Belmont?
Having Agumon in Smash would be great. But I think he's only got a chance if the newer Digimon titles get ported onto the Switch. Which I personally hope they will.
Always been my favorite pick for a second Yoshi character.
