I admit I was nearly heartbroken but recovered and took on a more positive view. Like everyone else already said, this is the first time Lip has gotten extensive exposure in Smash, so she has nowhere to go but up from here on. I think Sakurai does realize Lip still has fans.I'm gonna be real, hearing this from you is really nice. I remember just a little while ago when you thought all hope was lost. Just goes to show that we need to celebrate small victories.
I for one am excited to have some fun with a Lip Mii and the Spirit battle looks great! It was nice to come to this thread after the direct and see some smiling faces (figuratively). I feel like those of us who like more obscure franchises like PdP, Style Savvy, Chibi Robo, etc. lucked out just seeing our faves acknowledged in a Smash mode.
You know sometimes I can't tell if you really are Pro-Lip judging from all your posts in these threads.Well that wasn't enough info for people to get to know who Lip was in Melee, Brawl and Sm4sh when there was just a Garbage Block of Lip (which does not mentioned to be her's) or the Lip's Stick item. (Name + name of the game)
People still didn't know who this character was and even if we assumed that people had an idea on what she looks like from the Furil sticker in Brawl, it still clearly wasn't enough for people to know who she was.
I am pretty sure people had no idea who Takamaru was even with a Sticker during the Brawl days.
With the lack of trophies, spirits will at least have more time to shine more unlike the Stickers in Brawl.
However my only problem with the Lip Spirit is that I don't think ANYONE will bother to use it because it equips an item and it doesn't really KO opponents like other battering items. People would probably rather equip the Death one instead for obvious reasons.
This is where the lack of description for the Spirits will hurt her the most along with the more popular Spirits being found overtime. Which will pretty much make her go back to people's minds like its always been.
