the reason they chose Wolf over Krystal

[nitro_rev]

they needed a villan in the series and wolf is the obviouse choice, the mario series has bowser, the zelda series has gannon, the kirby series has dedede (and metaknight i guess). Just look at the events list:

single event 38: Wolf on a Fox hunt, where you are Wolf angainst Fox and Falco.


co-op event 19: Andross' shadow, where you are Fox and Falco against Wolf.


they only put him in for matchups like these, and if they had Krystal, they would have 4 reprisentatives of the series and lets face it, StarFox doesn't deserve 4 characters like Zelda/mario does. my quetion is: if they already have Fox and Wolf, Why bring Falco back?
Smash needed another female character and Krystal could easily replace Falco in the 2 listed events

 

[Metrosexualbluehairedlord]

I think it's just because Falco has been in more games than Krystal. I do think Krystal would've been cool in this game...

 

[the g]

falco's fanbase is too big from melee thats y he made it bac in brawl!! I mean they dumbed him down a bit but i stilll think that he should be there instead of krystal

 

[Ookami-kun]

Wolf isn't a villain. If they want a villain they can put Andross as a boss.

 

[Viroxor]

Falco's cooler than Wolf or Krystal anyway. He also had lots of potential for a unique moveset back in the day, but that's pretty much out the window now. Anyway, he holds the uncontested position of Viroxor's favorite Star Fox character of all time, and he represents the series' history in a way only Fox can surpass.

Plus, there's that little thing about being essential to the series. He was minor in Assault, but he played a much larger role in Command, what with his escapades with Katt, forming his own team, ect. That is why Falco would be in no matter what. The choice was between Krystal and Wolf, not Krystal and Falco, as so many seem to think. Fox and Falco were the shoe-ins.

 

[RickettsZ22]

falco was an easy in, in melee they had to dumb down fox way to much with his laser getting weaker and everything. Falco was the stronger faster easily the better one and now wolf is going to mend both of them and give you back fox from the 64 version of the game.

 

[super-7]

falco has been in double the games krystal has and has been in melee why would they
even think of replacing him for such a little role character
krystal ftl

 

[OrlanduEX]

Falco is more important and more popular than Krystal. Period. He's also a staple in the series.

If anything, Krystal would have to get in over Wolf. Thank God that wasn't the case.

 

[Dragonboy2k4]

Heres the reason why I think Krystal didnt make the cut.See the thing is,this game already struck a T rating due to the mild violence even tho its cartoonish and unrealitic,go figure.But have any of you guys seen Krystal's attire? Reguardless if shes non-human or whatever but Peach's panties shots are still possible,ZZS is wearing a very tight outfit for examples.Adding Kyrstal in would of add more fuel to the fire.

Nintendo didnt add her because it would give the ESBR ratings something esle to cry about appearing in a game intended for kids.And at the same time,if they try to mod her normal clothes,it would be unappealing to fans and not staying ture to the Smash series(Every character looking like they did in there recent game).Hell,even Mario was under watch when they made me more down to earth to compete with Link's new design.

Believe me,if those ESBR ratings didnt give a flying crap,Kyrstal would be in here in a heartbeat.

Um no, he was a major character in Assault. Both Falco and Wolf played big roles.

 

[Viroxor]

Well, he saved Fox on Fichina from the security drones, but what else did he do in Assault besides talk? I mean, Wolf saved Fox, like, three times and developed a character, whereas Falco was just a trash-talking falcon who saved Fox once in the game. I mean, I'm a total Falco fan, but let's face it, Falco in Assault wasn't really significant.

 

[Ookami-kun]

Hmm... now that I think about it, yeah.

About Command, everybody got at least developed save for Bill (lol I'mjustapilot lol).

Way to spoil the events!

Anyway, sure, Mario has a villain, and kirby, and zelda, and now starfox...but DK had the next obvious choice, and gets no love.

Also, I think Wolf was in too because he was part of the game that was Starfox as a series' greatest moment (Starfox 64)

Wolf is just much more historic than Krystal. Krystal... represents the decline in the starfox series... That is all.

NO ONE cares about krystal

 

[Machete]

We have Fox.
Falco isn't going anywhere. If you're a StarFox fan, you should know that.

Now, we have Wolf vs Krystal.

Wolf is a better character than Krystal. Also, he was in the best game of the series.

Also, Wolf was one of the most popular choices for Melee and this game has every wanted character for Melee (except Goroh and Mewtwo).

And, face it, both Wolf and Falco are far more awesome than Krystal.

 

[Meta_Sonic64]

I agree, Wolf and Falco deserves their spots.

 

[Black/Light]

You call Wolf Fox's "Bowser"? While, Falco would be Fox's "Luigi" in that manner, his best bud, his partner.

While an Interesting outlook I don't think thats the reason. If it were then why wouldn't every Nintendo char get a evil counterpart? What about Samus? Even if you argue Ridley was too big there is still Dark Samus.

I think they added Wolf over Krystal due to time constraints. He was probably easier to program in seeing as how a lot of him is based on fox. Whereas Krystal would have to be more original.

 

[Ookami-kun]

Not really. *points at Ganondorf*

 

[kin3tic-c4jun-3]

They chose Wolf over Crystal becasue Star Wolf is a badass and Crystal is ****ing gay.

End.

 

[ShinStrikeX]

Oh for some odd reason alot of people care about Krystal. Dk why it would be an issue Wolf was in and she is not.. but yeah.

 

[Zacke]

Wolf is just plain bad-***.
Crystal would be cool with the staff and all, but Wolf is just better. He have been in more games, he got this personal fight with Fox, heck he even have his own theme song.
Wolf is just better than Crystal in any way.

 

[Falconv1.0]

One could argue that Assault wasn't that good of a game. >_>

Wolf has much more of a character, and is just flat out cooler.

 

[Ookami-kun]

Good game =/= good characters

 

[NekoBoy085]

Wolf was cooler. Wolf was one of the most requested characters from star fox. Star Fox 64 = the absolute peak of the star fox franchise. So you can guess who the three spotlights belong to.

After watching a couple clips I pretty much concluded that Krystal = the padme of Star Fox which is definitely a no good character. Her character was only inspired for sex appeal and love stories with Fox and no one really wanted nor requested for such a thing.

And no if she was in she would never be more original to Fox. Why? Wolf, Falco, Ganon and Toon Link all say hi.

/topic

 

[looduhcriss]

well if they needed a villain dont u think it would have been nice if he was PART of the SSE? as in with Ganon and Bowser.

But krystal would have been cool - especially if they gave her that Staff weapon from Star Fox Adventures (She would have a sick moveset IMO)

 

[BigRick]

Sakurai didn't want furries to fap after one of his character models

the game is rated T after all

 

[Warriors]

all 4 of them coulda been in
fox falco krystal wolf
team starfox FTW

 

[Orichalcum]

crystal has no landmaster, thats why

 

[Zacke]

crystal has no landmaster, thats why

Landmaster ftw!

 

[treble clef]

crystal has no landmaster, thats why

She would probably get one out of nowhere anyway. I don't remember Wolf having a Landmaster, anyways.
Then again, I don't remember Assault or Command. If he had one there I forgot about it.

I seriously doubt Nintendo decides which characters go in Smash Bros. games based on if they fit into Event Mode's events. In fact, I seriously doubt they dream up the events for Event Mode before they have a complete roster

 

[Fonix]

I would think that characters that make in the roster may not be because of an event, but the idea behind it.

"Wouldn't it be cool to have Fox and Wolf fight each other?"

I would imagine thought processes like that inspire first the character, than consequently an event that matches.

 

[star wolf the destroyer]

lol exactly krystal is garbage and wolfs awsome thats why
