I had mentioned Lloyd in the OG speculation thread a few times on deaf ears... I always thought he'd make for a great moveset. (lol, that's all I see a character is worth)

Lloyd would have potential for an awesome move set, and Symphonia 1 and 2 were nintendo exclusive (Well in America anyway.)
It's just a wonder if he is still relevant with all the other Namco characters as well as all the more recent tales of games.

I'm hoping him, Takamaru, Saki, Shulk, Ridley, Little Mac, and Issac get in, any more characters like King K Rool, or Bowser Jr would be icing on the cake,

Anyone else think the Smash series could use some more announcer chatter? No? Just me then?

An announcer could easily take up a lot of spots that the audience reaction does not.

Genesect in the Pokemon Movie 2013
That is all.
Interesting I expected that.. since this is the last movie of Best Wishes I wonder if we'll get a Gen VI Pokemon here too if we do then it's going to be between those two. And was Genesect always that small? I could have swore it was bigger then that.

This is probably not the best thread to put it, but have you guys seen it/voted yet?

I don't think it will make any real difference on who Sakurai will put in the game, but hey, let's do this just for fun.

EDIT: Sorry if this is old/out of place... ;(
Yes, everyone has seen it. And nobody gives a s**t about that stupid poll anymore.

The character selection is too small, it's claiming to be "official" when it likely isn't, and 4chan skewed the votes by spamming Waluigi votes.

Sorry for being so blunt.

Don't be sorry. It's the absolute truth! :awesome:

Anyways, just because I have nothing better to do, I'll keep voting until the final. :cool:

Did they spam Shulk too? Last I heard he was leading the poll and /v/ absolutely hates Xenoblade.

we did that to counter 4chan's waluigi 1st place since shulk was the closest to 1st.

Exactly,I don't remember Shulk being that popular on other boards.He was definitely less popular than the likes of Waluigi and Little Mac.I guess it's rigged:mad:!

Mainly because in the Mario series alone, there are at least 4 better characters to pick, if not more. That's usually the consensus around here.

Does none count as a better pick. None > Toad > Junior > Paper.

Four choices better than Waluigi.

Because two are just clones and the last one,well I guess Toad could be good but still Mario has room for another rep and Waluigi just fits more than Geno.:smirk:

Who's to say Junior and Paper would be clones? Both offer things completely different from their "clone" counterparts.

How would Paper Mario be a clone? I know it seems that way at first glance, but Mario has a vastly different set of abilities in the PM series. Most notably, he has a higher reliance on hammer based attacks.

But your signature says you aren't going to buy the game unless it has clones, so what are you complaining for.

Not to mention how absurd it would be for Paper Mario to throw a fireball. You know what fire does to paper, right?


Not to mention his model is quite different than normal Mario. Clones generally have similar models, so it would probably be more work making him a clone than to make him unique...

Q: What was wrong with 4chan wanting Waluigi?

A: The very idea that they are doing it for the lulz. They don't REALLY want him in, they are trolling. (disclaimer, some legitimately do though and just happened to have encountered it through 4Chan of all places)

And yes, None is better... These are all the characters that are necessary to represent this franchise. the Main, the Bro, the plot device (lol), and the villain. anything else is fluff.

Good Fluff, but fluff nonetheless. Needless to say I do think we'll get a Mario newcomer. Just my opinion.



EDIT:I just checked the old thread to find a certain post of mine, and 35 guests were viewing it. I facepalmed.

The Mario series doesn't really need a new character, by my opinion. Who needs a rep? Below are a few that I think NEED reps (Not because they can, but they deserve more respect with reps than they have.):

Donkey Kong Series
Donkey Kong Series
Donkey Kong Series
and...
Donkey Kong Series

EDIT: And Donkey Kong Series.

You forgot the Donkey Kong series. How could you?!?

But I agree. It is definitely short on characters.

Oh right, sorry, I'll edit that in a second.

But yeah, seriously, take a look here:
SSB64: Donkey Kong
SSBM: Donkey Kong
SSBB: Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong

Do the math. It took three games to add Diddy Kong to the roster (I counted the first game, too). At least give the DK series an apologetic King K. Rool or Funky Kong for SSB4... Goodness.

Or Funky Kong~

Especially considering how popular the series is...

My guess as to why none were added in Melee was the whole Rare controversy of the time.

Yes but Toon Link is 1.The main character of three games(Jr.Bowser isn't)2.Works well(both don't).Paper Mario is just a fatter 2D Mario who is considered the same person as normal Mario.While Toon Link is actually two different people.Jr.Bowser just doesn't have move set potential.He's more of an assist trophy.;)

His model is exactly why he shouldn't be in this game,it just won't work.People(people who prefer the "classic Mario") hate on Waluigi because he's not in the main series Marios.In fact they don't want him in the main series because he's a "spin off only" character.Yet they still prefer him over Blue Toad.Now putting him in SSB.4 would make him popular enough to be in a main series Mario and maybe we'll get Waluigi World for Wii U and it'll be a massive hit just like E.T the video game.You see?;)

No, not even at first glance. In fact, the first glance should tell you half the reasoning as to why he is so different. The other half is achieved from playing his very own franchise of games and learning what he can do.

I still posit Paper Mario to be above Waluigi, Toad, and Junior in potential and worth, even though that makes me quite alone. What kills Waluigi is that he would have to be a Mario character, but that does not do him justice at all. But then what do you do? You can't make him a Wario character either, because he has not been in nary a Warioland or Warioware game. I won't lie, I like the character, and his potential, but it is so untapped, and putting him in as a Mario character would spit on that. We have Toad and Junior, who both result in us thinking of the Mario series more than he does, and represent it far more, and have no greater untapped potential to be its own franchise. And Paper Mario has more potential, and according to polls conducted on Shortie's thread, demanded more, a lead character in his games, and brings a whole franchise to the table. Now although he would be his own franchise and wouldn't really be getting in the way of Waluigi, Toad, or Junior, my position is that if we are to get one of the four, it should be clear as to which one.

This should be said for many characters, including Lucario/Zoroark and Pikachu/Victini.

Yep Pikachu can do a lot,if by "a lot"you mean scream annoyingly and faint on the first turn.At least weaker Pokemon are remotely unique.Ok I guess Mario does need a clone with a hammer but Mario IS a popular franchise and Toad+Waluigi(who is a Mario character)could squeeze in.:bee:P.S I'm not buying Sticker Star.

A fool wouldn't of used his Thunderstone.

Also, what I meant was movesets; Zoroark doesn't need to copy off of Lucario, and those who think he should needs to play Pokemon more.

Ok I guess Mario does need a clone with a hammer

No one needs a CLONE.

but Mario IS a popular franchise and Toad+Waluigi(who is a Mario character)could squeeze in.:bee:P.S I'm not buying Sticker Star.
Are you suggesting that we have 7 Mario reps?! That's silly~

Meh...Raichu>Pikachu.Mario is very popular and has a lot of characters.Plus since Dillon's Rolling Western is the only new IP they need more characters from older franchises.7 reps sounds reasonable to me.

Raichu for SSB4~<3

:facepalm: Maybe, like, 5 would be reasonable. 7 is over the top. Popularty doesn't define how many characters the series gets.

The most realistic number of characters in SSB4 is 50. So, give the other 2 slots to others, like... Dillion and Quote! Or one character each for the Donkey Kong series or LoZ series.
