Glad we got assist trophies confirmed. I find them more fun to speculate since they essentially can b anything from the Nintendo worlds

3) The fact that Sakurai chose Skull Kid is probably a good indicator that Sakurai is still pulling from the pre-Brawl era, where Skull Kid was definitely at his peak. Encouraging possibility for the fans of characters like Krystal, Masked Man, Lip and even Geno.
Do you (or anyone) know of other characters that were at their peak during pre-Brawl? Would it be safe to assume that some may be the higher recommend characters on that Brawl poll Sakurai made?

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a poll conducted post-Brawl? I'd appreciate it if anyone has some more info on this. All I remember is that Saki was requested. :/ I'd like to know of other characters too.

Wait, if Sakurai's looking at the Brawl era, than this is great news!

There is no way I can answer that with any certainty -- no one can. I don't have access to the same kind of information Sakurai does. All I do have is anecdotal experience having been an active participant in many of the pre-Brawl discussions going on within Nsider, Gamefaqs and Smashboards.

Ashley was more popular during pre Brawl, but everyone called her fans pedos and flamed them

Especially the Ridley supporters

Krystal was more popular as well, but everyone called her fans furries and flamed them

Especially the Ridley supporters

Though, it must have been a bummer for Ridley supporters once Ridley was confirmed as a Boss. Heck, the same to any sizable fanbase which their character got reduced to anything but a playable fighter...

Tbh, I wasn't really expecting Skull Kid to make an appearance, though I admit that I kinda wanted to see him as a fighter. I hope that we get a Zelda newcomer though... but I won't be complaining if we don't.

Let's just leave it for Sakurai to do so then. :)
Atta Kong. You know how it works.

I'm seeing a pattern, but I can't see it clearly. :rolleyes:

Seriously. Ridley supporters are almost all bullies, and will pluck anyone not supporting Ridley. It's still happening now. But I'm totally fine with it, because in the end, they'll lose, and they'll stir up the biggest purple rage whirlwind across the internet. And it will be ****ing hilarious.

Well, Vaati's pretty badass...

BUT Ghirahim's pretty fabulous...

BUT WAIT! Toon Zelda is adorable...

Though, Impa is cool as well...

AND Tingle is... well Tingle is Tingle so I think he belongs in his own category.

Ah screw it. My #1 wanted Zelda newcomer:



As a standalone fighter baby! :awesome:

I think I see Ashley and Krystal becoming an AT soon thanks to your statement.

But Krystal supporters are furries. That can't be denied.

What's hilarious though is that how much the Ridley supporters are "bullies", the Ridley detractors are far worse. Prime example is that Typhlosion guy up above. (Entei is better. :troll:)
Make of that what you will.

Seriously, after seeing AT Skull Kid I want him even more in the next Smash now.

Impa might be cool and ****, but Skull Kid is also a real bro. And this is even coming from a guy who never even bothered finishing Majora's Mask. Dat ****ing Ice & Fire dungeon man.

Also, Ridley fans can hardly take critisism. I've personally clashes a lot with Ridley supporters pre-Brawl to. Them claiming 'surely Ridley will take priority over some stupid monkey'. And how 'Ridley is far more important to Nintendo than all other potential newcomers' :diddy::dedede::pt:? lol.

Seriously, you guys have a worse reputation than any '****** from Smashboards talking about Impa all day' can ever acchieve.

I wanted Krystal in Brawl way back when, but I was certainly not a furry. The very notion makes me want to regurgitate.

Exactly this.

However, I wasn't dissapointed with Wolf at all. :wolf:
Exactly, I am a huge Wolf fan. I didn't even know that he was a possibility for Brawl. When I was naive, I used to think that Goroh, Ridley, and Wolf were hidden characters in Melee. You have no idea how hard I tried to unlock them. I did pretty much everything in the game in my meager attempt to unlock one of my favorite characters. I was convinced that the cut-scene alluded to their secret inclusions. However, I finally gave up after 3 years.

When Brawl launched in Japan, I decided that I was not going to look up anything regarding the game until I got it on release. So when I unlocked Wolf... tears were shed. I couldn't even believe it. It was actually my happiest moment in gaming.

I always spoil myself beforehand each Smash game which characters are unlockables. But my biggest happiness in gaming probably was Diddy's reveal in Brawl, playing the demo of DKC2 before it was released, and Donkey Kong Country Return's reveal.

Also I seriously believe Ridley's support came mostly from the Melee opening. Doubt he would've been considered if it wasn't for this.

He would have been considered for at least Brawl, not sure about Melee.

I consider myself a Ridley supporter, though I'm definitely not as vocal about it, and I don't crush other fanbases, heck, I belong to some others. The only issue I have are Ridley detractors who use the size argument with no double standard for Olimar or Kirby.

See, this is the part where you missed the most important thing about what this Typhlosion guy (really?) said- almost all. If I were to slam every Ridley supporter, than that would make me a jackass because I don't know them all. Plus I know some cool people would don't try to shove their fists in everything that goes against Ridley's inclusion. But most of the ones I know are assholes

I once liked the idea of seeing Ridley become playable. Purely out of interesst if Sakurai actually listens to the western fanbase, and how he would work. I mean, I've only been interessted in seeing Ridley because it would be a sort of 'final exam' for the Smash development team.

However, lets just be realistic here...

I want Ridley because dragon. No other reason. Smash needs more dragons. 1 salamander that is dragon inspired is not gonna cut it, especially when tied to 2 awful mechanics. Tamagon, Ridley, Tiki, or any other dragon from Nintendo games should be must haves. Cause y'know. Dragons.

Charizard was always my favorite Nintendo dragon. I think many would agree with me on this.

But yes, buff him,

Speaking of Charizard, how do you change your main list at the bottom of your avatar? I accidentally set it to Charizard, but it's suppose to be DDD.

The same way you set it up in the first place.

By going to your personal details and change your main from there.
