Discussion. We're talking about who should be the Piranha Plant of Infinite.Is this the submission round or the discussion round on the general direction/Discussion on which series fits?
Ok well I edited my post with an overall viewDiscussion. We're talking about who should be the Piranha Plant of Infinite.
Guardian is one of the few characters that can be a blatant copy of Plant’s generic mook gimmick and get away with it.We need a unique Zelda fighter that would actually make sense.
- signed, The Guardian.
Okay but for real, what if we waited to see what new Pokemon are to be added to Legends: Arceus? And then later we include content from Legends: Arceus when we learn more about it. Or does that feel more like DLC material? Because that would mean we couldn't add a Hisuian stage.
DIHSO returns!Glass Joe and King Hippo
Iconic characters with unique moveset potential. Not much I can say about one that doesn't apply to the other, but they absolutely can be more than clones. Undeniably popular enough to sell a few early copies though, at least for the NES generation.
I was imagining Glass Joe as more SSBU Pichu than SSBM Pichu, but maybe instead of damaging himself he has extremely weak power but shines in every other regard. A character who, if you confuse "powerful character" for "good character", is sure to cause rage.DIHSO returns!
Also Glass Joe as a bonus fighter would bring an undeniable joke character into Smash which I think would be really cool to have as a fighting game trope.
I think that’s a great take on a Smash fighter that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Unique without meters and bells and whistles.I was imagining Glass Joe as more SSBU Pichu than SSBM Pichu, but maybe instead of damaging himself he has extremely weak power but shines in every other regard.

In a sentence I never thought I would say, can we give the Arwing another shot? It's actually a somewhat interesting choice. Isn't there a walking form in SF2?No, an Arwing wouldn’t be eligible.
yes, they are.

Cherry-picking much?For starters…
Way too big. And yeah, Ridley doesn’t apply here cause this is literally a machine that people need to ride into operate. Unless Pikmin are at the controls, it would make zero sense to include a mini-size Arwing as a character. Especially given it would literally be floating in the air which would give it an unfair advance in turns of recovery and aerial combat. Just move to the upper blast line and rain Smart Bombs. Arwing as a charqcter doesn’t make any sense logistically and mechanically.
My issue is that we are literally five spaces away from our most recent Zelda characters. I can for sure see people thinking … “Wait, didn’t two additional Zelda characters get announced?” It feels very lopsided….not to mention there are other franchises that have potential candidates that doesn’t have a rep attached to them.YEEEEHAWWWWW THE MAD TAXI FROM EARTHBOUND GETS FURIOUS!!!

Too outlandish? Okay I'll be serious again.
I think the prospect of another Zelda character should be on the table. It's been so long since the last unique Zelda newcomer which was Sheik and Zelda. The other fighters were two Link variants and Ganon who was a Falcon clone (tbf we rectified that.) So after waiting so long for a new Zelda character, out of the many fan favourite possibilities such as one of the four relevant and iconic champions, a popular villain in Skull Kid, an important character in Impa, the first new unique Zelda newcomer is- Marin, a character whose only relevancy is a remake with absolutely no popularity backing them, letalone no real importance to the grand Zelda mythos. Not a great new entrance for the Zelda franchise.
No matter how many people tell me Marin would make for a great inclusion, this doesn't feel like a celebratory inclusion. I know Nintendo makes some weird decisions like adding a Piranha Plant to the game but if we were to transcribe that to Zelda, the generic mook rep would probably be a Bokoblin or a Guardian.
My earnest plee is to give Zelda fans a fan favourite character in this alternate timeline. I don't usually like to act like I know who is popular and who isn't but I think Zelda fans could really use a big hitter like Skull Kid, one of the champions or Midna or whoever. SourceGaming enacted one of the largest Smash polls of all time and while polls aren't indiciative of a whole audience and this one was western based, it's apparent to see who Zelda fans want.
Besides, I think Zelda is big enough for three fighters if Fire Emblem can have three in Smash 4 (two unique fighters, one echo, just like Zelda would have with my proposal.
9 fighters does sound a lot but if they're unique and visually distinct, I think there is merit in having more Zelda rep.
Still doesn’t make any sense. No Arwing.Cherry-picking much?
We wouldn't even say who the pilot is, just "Arwing", so the logistics shouldn't matter either way - this is a game where god-slayers can be defeated by a post-pubescant girl who likes playing with water guns, logic is irrelevant.
Anyway, just because it flies doesn't mean it can't have regular jumping. Your "unfair advantage" argument applies just as well to Bowser Jr., Funny Pignas Man, and almost any of the winged or psychic characters.
Possibly true, but Star Fox Zero introduced a Walker form that is smaller, more easily sized-down and more easily implemented in a platform fighter and I would be remiss not to mention it.For starters…

I think that, as said, the list for the bonus fighter is set in stone, but any input helps set the course for the DLC. If that’s the case, I’d like to make a case for newcomer series like Pilotwings or a retro fighter. I know that for a job that needs a set list of series, “a new first party series” is broad but I feel a retro-y rep should be on the table even if it is for now in the form of Metal Mario or Super Mario KartYEEEEHAWWWWW THE MAD TAXI FROM EARTHBOUND GETS FURIOUS!!!

That's not even an argument. Anyway, even if Arwing "makes no sense" the option should still be there if it is submitted on virtue of this being a democratic game and it not breaking any actual set-in-stone rules other than the mech rule - and if that's the case we shouldn't be discussing Arwing at all because it was a closed case off the get go.Still doesn’t make any sense. No Arwing.
I explained it quite clearly that Arwing doesn’t make sense as a fighter because of a moveset that’s centered around flight which would be largely unworkable in Smash. Your argument about Pit or any other character that can fly doesn’t hold water. The Arwing is far to large and can’t logically be slimmed down unlike Ridley plus there is typically a character visible in the cockpit. Seeing as how each Smash game tries to bring as much life to the characters, not having a pilot visible would be out of character. But the character would have to be greatly minimized in order for the character to make sense as the pilot. A mini-sized Arwing or even Walker would look far more stranger than a smaller Ridley. I have accepted most of your off-the-wall submissions but I draw the line on this. Find a more appropriate submission or not submit at all.That's not even an argument.

Why do we need to "stay on character"? If Smash's previous patterns harm a candidate, shouldn't we break those patterns? We can just have a small Arwing with no visible pilot and call it that, we can still give it life - have it gracefully twirl and barrel roll, stretch out its wings like the anonymous pilot is cooling it down, so on. Also, did you not see the picture I posted of the Corneria Arwing? There's already prescedent for tiny Arwings in Smash. Hell, we could make it a Super FX Arwing that inherently couldn't have a visible pilot if there's no other option.I explained it quite clearly that Arwing doesn’t make sense as a fighter because of a moveset that’s centered around flight which would be largely unworkable in Smash.

I'LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK!!!!!!!!Why not kill two birds with one stone (new character variation + playable vehicle)

Pink Gold Peach in kart… (cricket noises)… anyone?
I would still rather see a more sensible submissions that’s not all about being “obscure and off-the-wall”. I know that’s your thing and that’s fine but that’s not what this project is about. While I do want people to submit what they want, we do need some rules and criteria instead of submitting whatever is under the sun. Your horrendous Bob submission is one particular example of this. And yes, it wa a horrendous but I still accepted it. Going into DLC, I’m going to be FAAAR more stricter in regards to content that’s submitted.Why do we need to "stay on character"?

I didn't intend Arwing's submission as a joke, I described it as weird, sure, but it is a "character" I see legitimate moveset potential and fun in. Shooting lasers, overheating the exhaust for short range blasts, swooping from above, barrel rolling away from conflict, it could be a ton of fun. This isn't like Bob, I had more reason than wacky HaHas to propose Arwing.I would still rather see a more sensible submissions that’s not all about being “obscure and off-the-wall”.

Sorry but still not allowing an Arwing. I actually do like the idea but there are waaaay to make things that make this a bad and ineligible submission for me to OK it.I didn't intend Arwing's submission as a joke, I described it as weird, sure, but it is a "character" I see legitimate moveset potential and fun in.

Can't believe we can have someone who is more low tier than Little Mac and it's from the same series as him, wtf.DIHSO returns!
Also Glass Joe as a bonus fighter would bring an undeniable joke character into Smash which I think would be really cool to have as a fighting game trope.
Please tell me those reasons, I am open for a debate and I am open to losing it - however, you and the rest of the thread have not managed to sway my opinions on Arwing thus far.Sorry but still not allowing an Arwing.

From what series exactly? I think official art isn't a dead sentence and half body artwork has been a thing for many character.I have a submission, but to my knowledge there is no official full-body art of my suggestion; would that make her ineligible.
This apply to the F-Zero vehicle too, yeah?I would probably prefer another character to arwing but the fact that it doesn’t break any rules means I think it should have a chance. If it’s really such a bad submission you can just not vote for it but I don’t see why it can’t be in the running. The fact that the arwing is an inanimate object could be a reason you don’t wanna vote for it but I don’t see why it would be a reason to shut it down especially because there would be no issues with movement.
Also judging by the fact that arwings are what you actually play as in star fox, I think people could make legitimate points for an arwing being playable even if I’m not entirely in agreement. I’m just saying it should be allowed.
