wait huh? wha?

Old Captain Falcon dies in the anime, yo

 

[Idon]

Boy Hazardless Luigi's Mansion against Snake.

I think this is one of the few times where the hazard would've actually been better.

 

[Wyoming]

Alright, and Contra, but after that, what else is left outside of stuff like Nintendo IPs or licensed games like Ducktales or TMNT?

Battletoads ayyy.

ZIT pops in

 

[Deleted member]

Contra? I feel like people forget about this game.

Although I get what you mean.

Something something realistic dudes
Sakurai isn't a bad enough dude

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Yeah ain’t it exciting!

It very much is!

 

[Double K]

Old Captain Falcon dies in the anime, yo

What a hero

 

[Will]

Alright, and Contra, but after that, what else is left outside of stuff like Nintendo IPs or licensed games like Ducktales or TMNT?

Bomberman?

 

[Shroob]

Bomberman?

Already an Assist trophy.

 

[Idon]

CAPTAIN FALCON NEVER DIES.

HE LIVES ON WITHIN EACH OF US.

 

[Will]

Yeah, he dies. And that guy in the white car is Captain Falcon now.

Ryu Falcon time

CAPTAIN FALCON NEVER DIES.

Yeah cause the other guy's Captain Falcon now?

 

[Deleted member]

Because of a lack of familiarity than anything else.

I completely understand you there.
Smash helped me appreciate and understand so many figures in gaming.

 

[Idon]

Yeah, he dies. And that guy in the white car is Captain Falcon now.

Ryu Falcon time


Yeah cause the other guy's Captain Falcon now?

Yeah but no one gives a **** about Ryo.

 

[Wyoming]

There's also Ghosts 'n Goblins and StarTropics (albeit in the West only) that are cherished NES games.

However Ninja Gaiden is obviously the biggest one and will/should be next. Get Ryu and Contra and the NES library has good lovin.

 

[Game2018]

only one rando on 4chan said he did it

Nobody believes him, though.

 

[Robertman2]

Current opinion on Isabelle:
View attachment 185463
"NO. MORE. FISHING."

Smash cut to Demi-Fiend's head mounted on Isabelle's wall

Literal unknowns to me. I don't know every game in existence.

More like you have your head in the sand lmao

 

[Will]

Already an Assist trophy.

Kuros?
Warrior of Light?
Strider Hiryu?

 

[Deleted member]

Yeah, he dies. And that guy in the white car is Captain Falcon now.

That was monumentally epic, but also really sad.

Gradius. I want to play as a jet!

 

[Will]

Yeah but no one gives a **** about Ryo.

No, his name is literally Ryu. R-Y-U.

This is Ryo.

Gradius. I want to play as a jet!

Gradius is an arcade game.

 

[The DanMan051]

No, his name is literally Ryu. R-Y-U.

This is Ryo.

Gradius is an arcade game.

Huh, I thought this was Ryo:

Oh right "Ryu Suzaku"

Literally "Dragon Fire-bird."

 

[AntagonisticGalaxyCetacea]

If Ryu Hayabusa is in I hope Sakurai has him getting harassed by orange Falcos in his trailer

 

[Will]

Oh right "Ryu Suzaku"

Literally "Dragon Fire-bird."

>be named dragon fire bird
>have a car named dragon bird

 

[Shroob]

Kuros?
Warrior of Light?
Strider Hiryu?

Warrior of Light? HaHAA Final Fantasy getting stuff.

Strider, I like Strider, but personally consider him lower than the likes of Ryu Hyabusa or Arthur from GnG.


....who?

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Gradius. I want to play as a jet!

If you can have Gradius, why not also have it's spin-off, Parodius, too? ;p

 

[Double K]

Wait guys what if we have a proper character from a strat/MMO series

 

[Will]

....who?

Kuros is from Rare's original hit game Wizards & Warriors

 

[Arthur97]

Already an Assist trophy.

Chrom says hi.

 

[Will]

If you want actual MMO, the one you're looking for is MapleStory

So basically you're asking for either a generic MMO character, MMO version of Slime from DQ, or my personal favorite:

Balrog, a pretty well known boss monster archetype.

***** let me geek out about my childhood MMO

Look at this big, monstrous boi.

It's a result of basic reading comprehension, not rage. I'm saying this as someone who was actually excited for Corrin.

"After internal analysis we decided that if we’re going to make DLC, we would choose a character from a soon-to-be-released new game" = a marketing-based pick. That's just basic common sense. You're forced to pick a character from an upcoming game? You're doing so to market the character and game. Fates' release timing itself is even mentioned as being ideal.

Corrin wasn't picked on their own merits, Corrin was picked because Nintendo wanted a marketing rep and Fates' release timing was deemed ideal. Sakurai was initially against their inclusion until he was convinced of their moveset potential.

Um...isn't the thing being referenced from Sakurai himself? Where was it stated that "Nintendo" wanted anything there? It sounds like wanting a character from an upcoming game was a decision by the team making the game, including Sakurai. Im not sure why it's being framed as something they were being forced to do.

Also the thing you are quoting actively disagrees with your "not picked on their own merits" argument as it took the team convincing Sakurai to actually OK adding them. Sakurai decided to add them because he was shown their merits outside of being a cross promotion and even was said to have Sakurai be biased against more character inclusion from that series at all to begin with for the DLC.

 

[Will]

Shroob I made a whole Kuros thread months ago. That's how I know him.

I'm always up for manly muscular bois in my Smash Bros.

Internal Analysis is often PR Friendly code of saying "Higher Ups told us"

 

[LetterO]

There's no way we're going to see doomguy fighting against characters like isabelle and pikachu with his chainsaw and super shotgun

Ok

 

[Graizen]

So heres a question:

They used japanese codenames for characters , like "packu" for Piranha Plant?

Why are they using "BRAVE" and not the Japanese word?

 

[Noipoi]

Ok

Woah!

Daisy, Snake, keep it in the bedroom!

Poor Luigi...

Because if you wrote it as YUSHA it'd be way too obvious
