Will do, I highly recommend anyone with a twitter post they want Bomberman in the comments of the post in addition to voting for Bomberman.
Good point. That would make our support even more visible, allowing the opportunity for likes, retweets, and comments which draws more people to the polls to vote for Bomberman. I need to get a GameFAQs thread set up if it hasn't already.
To be fair, it's really hard to top King K. Rool who's been the main antagonist of some incredibly well selling titles and Donkey Kong Country changed gaming. His appearances alone probably outsold all Castlevania titles. That said, both are big deals and there's no denying that.
I feel characters Sakurai are aware of or are respected by him get in easier, hence Cloud and Simon despite little demand, same for Palutena and all the FE Characters due to Sakurai’s like for Kid Icarus since he directed Uprising and Fire Emblem. Mega Man and K Rool got alot of respect in their appearance, but Bomberman has the laziest model in the game, being a mere rip of R’s.
A better way to word that is that Sakurai is biased towards certain franchises. He's definitely aware of franchises like Donkey Kong and Bomberman, thus why he acknowledged their existence, but it doesn't mean he loves them. Franchises like his works on Kirby, Kid Icarus, Castlevania, and Fire Emblem, on the other hand, are franchises that we can say he has an attachment towards, which is why we see so much representation of them.
What is the theory? Also good rewording, Sakurai does indeed have notable attachments, as I said before, not even Sonic got as much Castlevania do for its debut. I will say movesets from Sakurai have gotten better overtime overall, like Diddy was more faithful than DK for example. Simon is alot more faithful than say Pac Man, who used Namco references vs his moves from Pac World. I’ve noticed Sakurai is almost always more faithful with franchises he likes or cares about vs ones like Wario. If Bomberman gets in, I wonder how much thought Sakurai will put into him, usually third parties are above average in terms of source material in their moves but who knows.
Luckily, as King K. Rool shows, Sakurai puts a lot of love into unique characters. You can bet that if Bomberman becomes a playable character, be it DLC or next game, he'll get the royal carpet treatment and that Sakurai will give us a move set beyond our wildest dreams.
I know a guy who's an artist and modeler that can do GIFs. So, are you looking into a salt bomb GIF meme or something else?
Spike Chunsoft developed it while Namco just published it. Also I want to know is, when the Assists were removed to be made into playable characters, did they receive replacements? If so, then that means there was extra work involved in making them playable.
They actually stayed believe it or not, and they are active even when you equip the assists to their playable version.
That's the idea, though I won't be designing it 'cause I'm not the most in tune with meme culture.
As the person behind the Twitter account, I saw the video a couple of days after it came out and endorsed it. I even reached out to him to see if he wanted to join the Super Bomber Bros. campaign but he never responded so I hadn't really thought about the video since then.
If a Treehouse person saw this though, what would they think? Would they think the creator of this video is respectful to Smash's legacy and its creator, or that the fans are being entitled and painting the director as stuffy and thoughtless because their favorite character got deconfirmed? Expressing your legitimate disappointment is fine, but when you're talking about real life people, especially the real life people you want to convince to add Bomberman, it doesn't feel especially productive.
Like I said though, there are definitely ways to say "we respect Shoji Mizuno and want to honor him by putting Bomberman in Smash" than reducing a real life person to a cliche "dying person" storyline, and then ending it morbidly on Bomberman at his grave. Again, the lack of optics feels overwhelming here.
Personally I don’t see how it was disrespectful to Sakurai, portraying him as making a bad choice should not be disrespectful or tasteless. People I feel do not understand the difference between actually malicious or toxic behavior and mild criticism.
Looks nice if I say so myself, I really appreciate the amount of detail you put into this. Also, you show how much he can do with bombs, something that most people don't realize.
I really like the idea of Bomberman being able to footstool his own bombs.
What if he could also footstool Link's?
That sounds somewhat implausible.
The N64 and GCN Bomberman games were huge parts of my childhood, and I really wanted to do them justice. I'm glad you like the moveset I came up with!

's Bomberman's picture to make headway on social media with thousands of fans pouring their supportIndeed. I look forward to when you get around to tweaking your move set. Speaking of which, if you choose to get around to it, I can always ask one of the artists I know if they'd be willing to draw or animate your move set. I'd love to see your work out there and boy do we need more fans putting them up for the world to see.
Oh my God, that would be amazing.
Indeed. If it goes through, I'd be excited to see it out to the public.
@Fuzzy Pickles!
The only Assist Trophy that’s been locked is Waluigi’s and that was on GoldenYuiitusin’s request. Obviously, I have no such plans and will be keeping this thread going for as long as possible. The future is bright for the Super Bomber Bros. campaign.
Thank you. We still have a long way to go but anything’s doable at this point.Congrats on the getting noticed by Konami themselves, you've accomplished so much already with your campaign
Nice. I can’t wait to see what comes out of it.
We'll have to see on whenever or not that happens. I'm hardly banking on it but it's worth watching just in case. Stranger things have happened.
I am not sure. Perhaps ask an admin and see if they can fetch it for you?
The future just gets brighter and brighter.
That'd be great. I'd also like having my Vaati moveset fetched as well; Cap'n Kazam took a liking to that one.

about this and he said that he might be able to contribute if we can get other artists on board. Due to the likelihood that Ken and Incineroar are it for the final roster, I want us to search the Internet to find artists who like these other characters to see if they would be interested in contributing. Before the game release, they will reveal Ken and Incineroar and when that hits, I would rather we get closer to getting ready to release the picture rather than scramble right after the reveals and lose precious time to have said picture make headway.
