I haven't been paying too much attention to Aces, but it sounds like additional characters will be added through online tournaments. It might not be too late for Pauline to get in Aces, but even it was, I doubt her absence from a Mario tennis game would effect her chances much in the long run. If it was something more major like Mario Kart, then I'd be a little more skeptical.
Rhetorical or not, it honestly has more to do with Odyssey than Pauline, if you ask me. She was a stand out in the game and the game did incredibly well. That being said, I do not really believe Nintendo is pushing her, and even the fan "push" is pretty, well, nonexistent as far as I can tell. It is more like people acknowledging her existence more than anything.
SoV didn't sell as many units as Awakening or Fates, but it didn't sell poorly. Nintendo even considered it a financial success.
Looked deeper into it, and her appearances are
Rosalina already has the dress, they just need to change her hair color and voila.
In spite of the rhetoricality of the statement, I still want to point out that her role is extremely similar to K.K. Slider and if anything much more warrants being part of a New Donk City stage the way he was a part of Smashville than being a playable character outright.
That's actually twice as many appearances than what Rosalina had when Sakurai decided to add her.
Well, what did it sell? The only source I have has it at less than a third of the prior titles. I assume that it would be relatively accurate as I used it for all three games. Nintendo considers a lot a "financial success" if moving one million units is an accomplishment. Lmfao.
I think it's more likely that Fire Emblem will get a newcomer. It'll get a cut in either Lucina or Roy, though I feel Lucina is more likely to be cut. With FE16 on the horizon, and with the knowledge that Sakurai and Nintendo have internal knowledge of games in development. It's just like Roy's and Greninja's case. Sakurai chose Roy before his game even came out, and Greninja was chosen before he even knew how'd he would work in-game.
I'll be extremely surprised if Mario or Fire Emblem doesn't get a newcomer honestly. Both I'd say are on equal terms; arguments could be made for either of em.
The game hasn't been properly tracked lately, but I think it's somewhere in the 600K-700K range.
Cue the applause!
In Rosalina's defense,
Also they saw an opportunity to give Rosalina a unique playstyle so I think that also plays into it heavily.
Wah! vs Woah!Imagine a Waluigi vs Crash
Battle of the Crazies
and I kind of agree, even tho I rly want Celica, if you really put it down Zelda hasn't had a newcomer technically since Melee. It's beyond time to expand the roster, this time around Zelda should have at least two newcomers imo
Oh that's the main reason I know that.
In Smash canon I like to pretend Ganon is a C. Falcon fan and likes to imitate his moveset.Not to mention one of their characters is extremely poor representative of that character.
I agree, but it's so tricky with Zelda because all of it's main cast is there. Link? Check. Zelda? Check. Ganondorf? We got 'em. Toon Link is there because Sakurai wanted a young version of Link, and Sheik (though she was a one-off character, OOT was huge for Zelda, and I think her inclusion was just lucky.) has been in 3 titles now. Other than that we have Impa, but her appearance changes drastically from title to title, and Tetra, but she hasn't been in a game for awhile. They'd be the only two that aren't one-offs that would just be removed the next game.
If we're to believe this comic, you seem to be right ^^
Had no idea that existed until now lol.
I really hope the Champions aren't wasted this way. It might make sense now, but several years later when the next version of Link and Zelda replace the BotW versions, the Champions are going to stick out way too much. I feel like including them in a moveset now is basically dooming them to be replaced with something else in a future Smash game.
I actually think Waluigi is a bit of a dark horse, he's fairly popular amongst the more casual Nintendo crowd, so it wouldn't surprise me a great deal if he was the Mario character who did the best in the ballot, and he's also had consistently okay support since the Brawl days. I'm hardly saying he's guaranteed or anything, I wouldn't put him on my prediction roster, but he's a certainly a candidate.
As sad and unfortunate as that fate is for them, it's probably the fate destined for them. Best case scenario, we get one of the Champions as a playable fighter. My pick is Urbosa. Realistic scenario, they will get incorporated into Link and Zelda's moveset. Worst case scenario, they don't get any kind of recognition. (That ain't gonna happen though.)
Pauline has a better chance in Smash than Daisy.What if Daisy got a Pauline color if she got in Smash
What kind of logic is that? What does not being in whatever the last Mario game is affect Pauline's chances? If she got in, it would be because of her status as an iconic arcade character. That's like saying "I'm skeptical that Bowser Jr will be in Super Smash Bros after his absence from Super Mario 3D World & Mario Kart 8."
How is that wasting them? It would be the most accurate portrayal of them. They'd be in spirit form as they are and helping Link/Zelda with their actual abilities. Sounds like the perfect way to represent them. Instead of having one of them playable for literally no reason.
Which is why they shouldn't be playable.
Okay...what's wrong with that?
, who got in as part of a gimmick of 's moveset.
Why are you comparing Pauline to Rosalina when Pauline is a Donkey Kong character. Last time I checked, Pauline is a cast member of one of the most popular arcade games of all time. So again, Why are you comparing her to Rosalina?
