The 'I was wrong' thread.

[MasterOfKnees]

I always saw Mac as the most likely newcomer. However, I never foresaw him to be this awesome, always expected him to be a mid-speed, mid-power, regular punches guy since my only Punch Out experience is the NES one.

Oh, and I always rolled my eyes whenever people suggested Rosalina.

I'd ask about your reaction to Wii Fit Trainer suggestions.

But nobody even thought of her/him.

I usually get a good laugh out of it when people suggest whacky and obscure characters like Sandbag and such, so it's likely that I'd have found it more hilarious than anything. Personally I just never got the appeal of Rosalina, she's been pretty damn popular after Galaxy, but even after having beaten the game 100% I still don't get it, especially since she hasn't been important since. So it's not that I just roll my eyes at any character I don't think stand much of a chance, it's mostly a personal thing with Rosalina specifically.

I'm not a big Rosalina fan, but I can see why she's in. Think about it like this: She's the only really liked Mario character outside the original five, the people that hate her, only hate her because she's overrated, and she's been in three/four 3D Marios since she was created.

I dunno if being wrong qualifies for her if no one ever even spoke of her prior to her reveal. I certainly never heard anyone mention her.

I thought he wasn't relevant enough because a well-known series. lol

Pretty sure Sakurai doesn't think like that.

Besides the series had a game on Wii post brawl, so it's plenty relevant.

If Isaac gets announced his "I was wrong" thread will be oh so very very sweet.

Who's Isaac?

Who's Isaac?

Main character from Golden Sun, he's the assist trophy from Brawl with the big hand move.

Pfft. Ridley's would be the best. Since most people who are against Ridley are huge assholes about it.

 

[AustarusIV]

I'm still a little surprised that he's actually in, but not because I doubted he would make a good character, but rather the fact that he's practically unheard of in Japan (and maybe even Europe) compared to North America. Even with the Boxing Ring, I was still a little pessimistic about the idea of western-oriented characters making it in because of Smash's long history of catering to the Japanese fanbase.

Pfft. Ridley's would be the best. Since most people who are against Ridley are huge *******s about it.

Well, of course. The "biggest" character should obviously have the biggest "I was wrong" thread in this entire site, and it will be so cathartic to read through.

If any of my most-wanted characters are confirmed to be playable in Smash, I'll be quick to make "I was wrong" threads and they will be very sweet!

Dr. Kawashima's will be sweeter and tastier than the rest.

I think it will be more like Wii Fit's, no one really even considers him save a select few.

 

[Vintage Creep]

I was absolutely certain he was going to be playable the moment I saw the first trailer.
Come on, a ****ing boxing ring as a stage guys.
Before that, I understood having doubts. I had too like basically every newcomer.

 

[SmashBro99]

I thought he wouldn't be in because his only realistic moveset options were punching, dodging, countering, and moving quickly.

But now he's in with a moveset consisting of punching, dodging, countering, moving quickly, and a gimmicky free KO super punch, with a "bad" air game to try and balance that.

I didn't want him in, but the trailer was neat and he actually looks pretty fun, I've always been a fan of characters that jump right into a fight rather than long ranged/projectile attacks, and Mac literally jumps in to fights. I think his KO Uppercut punch is a bit ridiculous tho, I know he doesn't have access to it at all times, that meter better build up slowly...I feel that move was added because people thought like I did; "If he's in his moveset will be limited and lame" and I can say even without the KO Punch, he looks pretty fun so they did a good job with that.
