The Dixie detractors would just say she would use her hair to emulate Diddy's tail-based moves.

Still would be different.

Also, while technically possible, her emulating many of Diddy's attacks would feel kind of lackluster, considering her main characteristic is using her long ponytail as a weapon. Like, at least have the consistency to make her swing around her hair and whip people, if she doesn't so that at least then something will feel off. Like it would be like Samus without her arm cannon, or Marth without his sword.

I do not have anything against Dixie, but I don't think she would feel unique.
She would feel like Dixie, no matter how you put it.

No **** Dixie will feel like Dixie.

Fixed.
Happy @ FlareHabanero ?
Funny enough this isn't the first time I've made this mistake today.

Or Ganondorf being a wheezing old man with purple sparkle effects.

Hey you don't know that. She could be a Donkey Kong semi-clone. Can't you see her winding up her hair for a giant's punch?

EDIT: Jokes aside, she does have a little amount of similarities to Donkey Kong. Hair-copter would practically be a rehash of Spinning Kong.

WE DON'T WANT TO ALIENATE THE PEOPLE FAMILIAR WITH GANONDORF FROM MELEE, SO WE IRONICALLY ALIENATED PEOPLE BY NERFING HIM TO BECOME IMPRACTICAL AS HELL.

I think I've said something similar in the past, but since Sakurai scrapped the idea of a Diddy & Dixie due fighter in Brawl, do you think he ended up using some of the concepts (like moves/properties) the were originally meant for Dixie on Diddy? (Not that I think this affects Dixie's chances or anything...)

If anything, it makes me think they may be put together again here in Smash 4, that way we could have Dixie AND K.Rool in the game.

It's a possibility.

But for those actually expecting an Diddy and Dixie duo now, well I'm afraid that won't happen. Such a concept going towards someone else however is a possibility.

Is it not possible to have two DK newcomers?

Just felt like posting this. I kind of hope this gets to be on Megaman's stage in Smash 4

Think of a Diddy/Dixie tag-team from a gameplay point of view.
Does it make sense? No! They are two characters that will play extremely similarly, which defeats the purpose of switching out and is probably the reason it was scrapped to begin with.

I love that song...the entrance level and Wily levels are always given better music. Also, if we can have this, can we have Flash in the Dark?

The music in this game made playing this anger inducingly hard as balls game worth it, especially this song.

 

[lordvaati]

Seriously? What would Dedede do if he was a clone of the Climbers? Suddenly spawn in a clone of himself? Shoot blast of ice? Sometimes people need to think things through.

As for Dixie, We'll have to wait and see. If she's in, I'm interested in what ways she can standout from Diddy.

Don't forget, these are the same delusional matters who thought Mega Man would be a Samus clone...

Supposedly, it was more of a technical problem, not so much a design problem.

I mean if this concept was something like a Marvel vs. Capcom styled switch out, that would be an interesting idea by itself.

Don't remind me. It's like those heathens misguided individuals never touch a Megaman game or a Metroid game before.

That reminds me, having a game mode where you can set a stock and a new character for each life would be a fun inclusion. You max it out at 5 or so stock, and you select any five characters for said stock. It's really a great way to take your best characters and compete with a friend to see who's better overall.

 

[BluePikmin11]

A tag-team that can switch between Diddy (Whom is good at ground attacks) and Dixie (Whom would be good at aerials) would be indeed interesting, all you have to do is remind yourself to switch when you're in the air or ground.

 

[Louie G.]

If this isn't on Wily's Castle I will be disappointed.

Aaaaand now I shall be obsessed with this song once again. (sigh)

So basically Tekken's version of Team Battle. I would want that too.

Once upon a time on my YouTube I posted a list of suggested modes I wanted for this game...team battle was my #1choice.

Well said.

Dixie clearly wouldn't be a Diddy clone (or even a semi-clone). I remember people saying that Diddy would be a Donkey Kong clone before he was shown off in Brawl. People are dumb.

Well unlike Diddy and Donkey Kong, Dixie and Diddy have an almost identical stature, similar abilities, and Dixie is overall clone potential.
I don't see the point in refuting that Dixie is the most likely clone for SSB4.

Wow, this track is so kickass.

I also remember people saying Mega Man would be a Samus clone. Always irked me.

Well for starters, people labeling Diddy as a Donkey Kong clone have clearly never seen either character.

I'm pretty sure it should be common sense that if you're going to make a character share animations for whatever reason, they should at least have the same body type. You might as well say R.O.B. will be a Pit clone while you're at it.

Here's another Megaman Intro Stage. This time it's Megaman 8's. It's got more a Jazz tone mixed in. Which stands out from most of Megaman's Rock n' Roll themes throughout the series. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkIS7mAfzGU

I believe that if a character is third party, they are automatically unique.

I like it, but I'm afraid that Mega Man 8 will get little to no recognition for obvious reasons.
Mega Man, 2, 3, 9, and 10 will probably take center stage.

 

[Arcadenik]

Mega Man 8 is already represented with Mega Man's Sword Man move....

 

[Knight Dude]

I believe that if a character is third party, they are automatically unique.

It's not even that. Have you ever seen Megaman curl up into a ball? Or do a Screwattack? When has Samus ever done the Shoryuken? a Slide Kick, Handstand Kick, thrown Buzz-saws, or make a Leaf Shield? The two have almost nothing in common.

Mega Man 8 is already represented with Mega Man's Sword Man move....

I don't see why the game can't have a song or two. It was already re-released on the GameCube. So you can't really say that it's PlayStation only.

I love that song. One of the best Robot master themes out there.

I never was a fan of MegaMan 8...I don't even remember half of the basic knowledge about it. It was, in my opinion, the most forgettable MegaMan title. However, if I were to pull a more obscure title out, one not from the numbered series, I'd want the intro stage theme from MegaMan & Bass:

Although I will personally say I kind of like the GBA version a bit more.

For the record I can't even name one thing from Mega Man 6.
Except Pharaoh Man, and I'm probably wrong about that one.
Mega Man 8 is memorable for the sheer fact that it was on Playstation.

 

[Velvet Phoenix]

I wonder why Mega Man was chosen over X? I honestly don't mind because I love them both but I wonder what went behind the decision.

Pharoah Man was from MegaMan 4.

I wonder why Mega Man was chosen over X? I honestly don't mind because I love them both but I wonder what went behind the decision.

I thought it was a common sense choice seeing how he's THE MegaMan that started it all and the most iconic.

Pharaoh Man came from Mega Man 4.

I wasn't even talking about songs and PlayStation... besides Brawl had songs from Metal Gear Solid 4, if I remember correctly.

Sakurai: "Hey guys, which Mega Man is more important and iconic to Nintendo? Classic or X?"
Everyone: "CLASSIC"
That one guy: "X"
So that's probably how it went down. It's a no brainer to choose Classic over X, especially for a Nintendo game.

Pharaoh Ma came from Mega Man 4.

Exactly.
