Secret option Maria because fun fact: did you know that she's actually better than Richter at beating his own game? Yup. She's used in speedruns. They just unlock her ASAP and cartwheel to victory. She'd be kind of like the Dixie Kong of Castlevania's Smash representation.

If shes the Dixie Kong of Castlevania, then she wont get in for sure

Lowercase "l"

Maybe it's because he's already a boss.

Maybe during the next blue moon.

*plays Nothing to Lose*

 

[CosmicQuark]

You mean because he's boss--if he was a playable character he'd make Bayonetta look like Pichu.

(which is why I'd like Alucard, after seeing him in action as an assist trophy, I feel like he'd be more fun to play as than Simon)

Same for me, though progressive libertarian, still lowercase

Question, have we seen Luigi grabbing in any of the footage so far.

I think we have but that may be false memories

 

[KMDP]

Sounds like fun! Where do I sign up?

Over here, by the Salt Mines.

No, I'm pretty sure we haven't.

Because he was kept in the dark up until now...

 

[Iridium]

So, what are the most criminally underrepresented franchises out of the ones we have in Smash, in terms of content, to you all? As in, what franchises should get more recognition (music, characters, stages, etc.)?

Luigi wasn't in the demo, so I doubt it

Yoshi and F-Zero

The 2 OG series with such little content it's insane...

Kept in the dark moon?

(I seriously need sleep right now but I can't)

'd by Zinith .

But some would also say Fire Emblem, because there's a helluva lot more to the series than Swordsmen.

Donkey Kong's music selection is dreadful and the stages aren't much better. At least the roster got a big fat crocodile kick in the butt.

I'll be shocked if Rhythm Heaven gets absolutely nothing this game.

 

[osby]

Yoshi and F-Zero

F-Zero is kinda a giving, but you'd imagine we'd see more Yoshi.

EDIT: Sorry, OG doesn't mean anything to me.

 

[CosmicQuark]

The fact he doesn't even have an assist trophy is criminal--Poochy's right there, so cute and adorable.

 

[StormC]

What series don't have an AT?



I don't expect much from the retro series, but there's some options for Punch-Out at least. I think at least Street Fighter will get an AT we haven't seen yet.

 

[Iridium]

Eh, kinda gets...things from his franchise. Music's great, but the stages leave a lot to be desired, but I understand why we can't have Pac-Maze (although it's literally the perfect stage).

 

[Jeck]

You dirty rat, why I oughta!

Gosh

I really hope they work around the problems of importing that stage

Pac-Maze is like THE Pac-Man stage. We've all got these iconic location from the other 3rd parties... but then we've got Pac-Land and Windy Hill Zone..

 

[KMDP]

I had forgotten about Donkey Kong's atrocious musical history in Smash.

Thanks for reminding me.

I still don't get why we can't get Pac-Maze. It's too iconic not to be in--I don't care if they have to change everything about the level, call it Pac-Maze 2 or something, just give me those retro aesthetics. It's primarily what I associate with Pac-Man.

There better be a remix of every K. Rool boss theme.

 

[StormC]

Literally just add in Dixie, a Tropical Freeze stage, and a good variety of music and DK's Smash representation will be fully 10/10.

Okay and a Spirits boss battle too. I dunno who though. I joke about beating up Fredrik as K. Rool, but I dunno how well he'd translate really.

Yeah, at this point, I say best represented third-party franchise goes to , () or . & are close, is...eh, and feels a bit off.

 

[Zinith]

Even without Poochy, there's still some AT ideas, like Prince Froggy...

Spoiler

Everyone expected Rambi for DK after all, but we got Klaptrap instead...

Weeeeell, I can think of someone tangentially related to the DK universe being from Diddy Kong Racing.

Spoiler

Pipsy, of course

Tiki Tong could be the D.K boss. He might be a bit too similar to Master Hand though.

It's frankly insane that the Yoshi series doesn't even have one Assist Trophy.

How can FF be better represented than Pac-Man and Sonic when it has the least content of all the third parties?

Uh, that flash showed me new realities. CosmicQuark ? 0:50, if you want to know what I'm talking about.

I'll think about that. Not sure what I thought (maybe Materia, Midgar and the *limited* music).

I think Rambi might be Diddy's new FS.

 

[StormC]

Castlevania wins the third party representation contest no question. Two characters, a stage with oodles of baddies, a boss battle, an AT, and 34 tracks.

 

[marcuzoo]

Interesting Fact: All of the fighters from the metroid series have the same Back Air !

"I think he was in the river or something, I never played that one."

****ing gold.

Spoiler

I've actually debated whether or not Tiptup should be my joke character or Pipsy, but felt like Tiptup's too related to B&K for the non-sequitur to work.

Uh, that flash showed me new realities. CosmicQuark ?

I love Banjo, but not THAT much (because it's straight fanfic and I'm gay... though not a bear oddly enough)

It's why Simon took this long to show up, he was gathering his albums and rsvp'ing for 10 years.

 

[Squirtle/Mario guy]

Hmmm....

Maybe I'd go down the Yoshi rep line first: Boshi, Kamek, Poochy. Then I'd go Mike Jones, then Crash, then Banjo, then Skull Kid...

I don't know what after that...

NO YARN YOSHI *gasp

 

[Zinith]

The "Yoshi rep line" I listed wasn't exhaustive

Correction: It wasn't exhaustive enough.
