OMFG I SINCERELY hope ur kididng about slippy > wolf...
So far u have given absolutely NO REASON WHY LUCARIO CANT BE IN, AND WHY PETEY > THE REST OF THE MARIOS, just give me ONE full post, ONE saying WHY lucario, bowser jr and daisy cant be in... withouth ur pathetic *only 1st gen in brawl* and *theyre fillers lets add petey!*
I doubt u can cause so far nothing u have said it true, and I DARE u respond my last post...
Hehehe... I'll take on this challenge! This should be a snap!
First of all, the Pokemon series are different than the Mario games. The Pokemon list changes in every game, while the Mario list tends to stay the same. So saying a 1st gen pokemon has more of a chance over the 4th gen makes sense to me. Because the list is constantly changing and the original fans are getting older, more people remember the 1st gen over the 4th gen. Just because you still play pokemon doesn't mean the rest of us still play it! Mario on other hand recycles characters to keep up with its classic traditions of Bowser capturing the Princess. New foes come into the picture to stur up trouble for Mario, but its still the same idea.
So while Lucario isn't recognizable because old fans lost interest in the Pokemon series, old fans of Mario have come across Petey because they still play Mario games. I stongly believe that anyone that is a Nintendo fan, is a fan of Mario. Not buying a Mario game for a Nintendo system just doesn't make sense to me. Since Mario constantly recycles their characters, that means anyone that plays a Mario game at this point will know who Petey is!
Now lets compare Petey to the other characters....
Daisy - Appeared in one game. Was only revived to fill up the quota for sport games.
Toad - Only playable in one game that America made up. Doesn't have much to offer as a playable character. (Seriously, what would he do?) And from time to time he is always left off to the side, his role is very insignificant at this point.
Waluigi - Never appeared in a real Mario or a real Wario game.
Bowser Jr. - Too similar to Bowser (Or Mario). His role in the Mario series really isn't important anymore, he is just a quota character now. He was good in Sunshine but that is all he has.
Now lets look at Petey. He has appeared in every single Mario game since Sunshine, except for the Paper Mario games. He is very wacky which would spice up the roster list for Brawl, you see many characters are far too serious and I feel Petey would give a little more life to the game. He would probably be another heavyweight to the roster, which is something the list was missing. And he has several moves that would be new to the Smash series, such as Wind attacks and Sludge. So when you think about it, his style and moveset are much more unique compared to many other characters.
You could say I'm wrong, but you also said Squirtle isn't playable in Brawl, recently. I find anything you say anymore hard to believe at this point....
