Tried to but Krystal won out.
Me and FMOI were just talking about this, but I think it has as much to do with a character's personality/presence/essence, as it does their literal moveset potential. I agree that the character inclusion has likely always been based around this Which is funny considering Pre-Brawl and Pre-Smash4 speculators all believed it had everything to do with "logical choices" and "properly representing franchises", when his inclusions really were based on interesting/popular characters. I think in a sense, it just happened that a lot of his choices were characters we deemed (Or after they were included, scrambled to make a case for them being) important.
That's, uhhh, an... Interesting batch of favorite newcomers.
Yeah, that's what I thought. It's pretty safe to assume that literally anything which purports to be Sakurai confirming or dis-confirming characters is fake. The man plays the secrets of the roster extremely close to the vest.
I still feel bad for bringing up something More then a year old >.>
It is hard to predict or come up with movesets for some characters. Bowser Jr. has rarely fought directly, and his paintbrush hasn't shown many powers outside of making goop and creating monsters, he's a good exampe.
I was happily surprised to see the Slash Claw and Flame Sword in his set. But I already said that last page. The rest I pretty much expected, especially the blades.
He had better use his damn tail as a pogostick.
That would make a good D-Special!He had better use his damn tail as a pogostick.
Whoa there! As a seasoned MK player, I know how each item functions and the various defenses against them. It's easy to predict a Green Shell's path because of the course it takes. Even then, there are interactive stage elements, counter items, etc. But if you know how the Red Shell works, there are ways to guard against impact with one. Holding a Banana or Shell at the rear for defense and having another item in slot can make for smooth sailing for a good lap or even the whole match. A luck factor, IMO, is something that the player can't exploit or determine the factor of which usually happens unexpectedly. Like if the Red Shell didn't target me because of the aim it was thrown at or it hits a bump. As for knowing the tricks of the stage, that takes skill to exploit. It's overall knowledge of the game needed to use these skills.
Ridley is a pretty good example of that, since there's really a lot you could do with him just from his basic design alone. Then there's the whole "well would he be standing or on all fours?" There's so many angles you can go with for Ridley. I think, though, one thing that is for sure is that Sakurai would try to play up the whole "bloodthirsty" personality of his. Very ...feral? A real monster. I think that sort of "flavor" is something the roster could use.
Get that poser out of here! The true artist of Nintendo is Adeline! [In all seriousness I'd like Bowser Jr. with the Paintbrush]
I did not say that. lol. What I mean is that they couldn't really use abilites the Paintbrush has used so far, it makes goop and monsters. Maybe they could use some of kind of damage over time effect like what happens in SMS when Mario stands in the graffiti/goop for to long.
So magically a duck appears in front of a character and the Dog attacks the duck, therby hurting the player behind it?
You could say that about any character, really. Trying to gauge and quantify "uniqueness" only will end up a trojan horse for our own personal bias.
Nope, it's just characters that danced to Sakurai's beat.
There are a lot of characters like that already. Capt. Falcon and Wolf come to mind right off the bat.
It's ironic that Captain Falcon has so many powerful moves, yet he rarely if ever uses them in F-Zero games. (I've never played F-Zero, any of them)
Like the red goop for fire/lava, and the blue and yellow goop has electric effects. (I'm not sure if Bowser Jr. could originally use the electro goop though)
The Falcon Punch was mentioned in song in GX. Used a grand total of once in the Anime. Other then that nope.
I am aware of the Falcon Punch that caused a massive explosion in the anime, but not the song.
Aware of that too.
Certainly not aiming for the horn or using Thunder as armor
Something like that... but I was thinking of something like this.... Duck Hunt Dog pointing fingers at opponents... the hunter who is the person playing Duck Hunt with the NES Zapper shoots from the fourth wall at wherever the dog is pointing at.
He WAS broken...in the past.Guys, I just came up with the ULTIMATE newcomer for Smash 4!
Scrapper from Skyward Sword!There are so many characters he could beat just by calling them Master Shortpants! He'd be broken!
Do you guys think Bowser Jr. should transform into Shadow Mario for his Down B and then have a whole new set of moves like Sheik?
Could be interesting. I wouldn't be against it.
That's actually pretty clever. but my first reply was a joke if you didn't know.
Neither. Shadow Mario was litterally a clone of Mario in SMS. Let's hope if such an ability is implemented in Smash 4 he won't be a Mario clone...again.
Yay a fellow Troper! ^^
