I REALLY don't consider Piranha Plant a retro rep. It's probably the series first true joke character.
That was Nia from Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I did see a Saki outfit as while so there open to adding in some less popular Mii outfits along with the popular ones like Rex.
My bad. But that also brings the question on is it possible that Sakurai could have made an Ayumi Mii costume?
Maybe. If not there's always a chance they make one if they end up selling Mii Fighter outfits next year.
TBH, unlike other Mii outfitts if there is an Ayumi Mii outfit, it won't look distinguishable from those school uniforms you see in Japan for people who don't know her but that's what spirits are for. Maybe the only detail would be the tie on the uniform along with a possible wig your mii can wear.
They could maybe incorporate a briefcase or a magnifying glass.
Wouldn't that force her to become a Mii Swordsman or Gunner respectively if you use the briefcase or magnifying glass?
I thought certain costumes could only be on certain Mii Fighters any way?
If they were to make a Mii costume of her I would assume Mii Brawler would make the most sense
Despite the exposure that Ayumi had when she was a trophy in Melee, for some reason Nintendo still hasn't localized the games on their downloadable services yet. I know there's a lot of text in that game which probably discouraged them from doing it.
I'm a bit surprised regarding that. I kind of expected us to see her as a Spirit by now. Even if she's not playable, I do hope she at least returns as a Spirit so she can have SOME kind of role in Ultimate, no matter how minor it may be.
If Ayumi doesnt have a Spirit ill take it as more of a good sign than a bad sign. One might argue that she is too obscure to have one but clearly the standard for spirits are pretty low seeing as there are already a ton of obscure spirits.
Well Hikari and Donbe is more obscure than Ayumi, one of those signs is that they are more obscure than her is when Hikari appeared in Captain Rainbow and the game actually sold terribly. I also hear more Ayumi than H&D especially the fact that people knew that Ayumi was considered for Melee.
Is it really? From what I've heard, she hasn't really been on the table since Melee. Where did speculation for her in this game begin from anyway?
Has she been spotted as a spirit yet?
I don't think so, no...
Actually, it's not surprising and suspicious that she isn't an Assist Trophy.
Hmmm... interesting...
What if Nintendo just didn't include her in as a spirit? What with not being that well known to folk outside Japan?
Lip is a Mii costume and a spirit and she is just as obscure to a western audience as Ayumi is, so no that probably won't be the case. In fact, I think her not having a spirit would increase her chances by almost a landslide.
Uhhh... Takamaru
Hmm, fair point, though he's admittedly been a common enough assist trophy for people to be aware about.
Depends. Granted, I won't act like it's a fixed case so it could go either way.
For being playable? Well, aside from the fact that we have no idea how many spirits are even in this game, would Ayumi, a fighter known only well within Japan, to the point where her trophy was rife with mistakes and her being Japanese only was part of the reason she wasn't inducted into the roster, really be considered a big DLC seller?
As mentioned above there are spirits that are just as obscure as Ayumi, if not moreso. Hikari and Donbe being a prime example.
My mistake. Got my words mixed up there.
Oh, I understand that. I wasn't asking why people are supporting her. I'm just asking why the sudden confidence she'll get in as DLC? Base roster, that I'd get, but DLC tends to bring new things to the playing field. SO, I was wondering if there was some news recently about something.
I at least think a lot of Japanese Smash fans would buy her. Also, her trophy was in both the NOA and PAL versions of Melee.
Both Famicom Detective Club: The Missing Heir, and Famicom Detective Club Part II: The Girl in the Back, have been released on the Japanese 3DS, Wii and Wii U Virtual Consoles.
That's never really been the mentality showcased when adding someone to the roster. Let's not forget that Ayumi got cut from the roster in Melee because of lack of relevance outside of Japan. Now if say, Nintendo wanted to advertise the series' revival or new game, then well......a man can hope.
Huh. Neat. Well then, I guess it just depends on if she made it in as spirit, costume, fighter, or whatnot.Both Famicom Detective Club: The Missing Heir, and Famicom Detective Club Part II: The Girl in the Back, have been released on the Japanese 3DS, Wii and Wii U Virtual Consoles.
Because shed make a unique and fun character. Thats why.
That is the reason Sakurai put Marth and Roy in Melee so that Nintendo could introduce and promote Fire Emblem to the western audience.
Well.........
And again, don't get me wrong. I think she still has a clean shot at representation, be it spirit, costume or what now. But as a fighter? I reiterate. In the base roster, she'd have her best shot since she'd have been packed chock full with the package of an already amazing roster. But as DLC, well, it stands to reason that Nintendo who chose the list and cut her in the first place for said lack of relevance wouldn't be in hurry to include her, unless they had some game plan in mind to expand her influence.
Guess that just indicates that they didn't have the same plans for Ayumi. :U Now, if there's ever news of a series revival, then that's another story.
Nintendo has changed their minds plenty times before so i dont see why her being cut from melee means she may never be considered ever again.
Exactly! I think once a character that is interesting to Sakurai was consider before, than they are not out of the running, but just are on the waiting list to get in.
There are much, much, much more obscure characters as Spirits, I don’t think there’s a chance she won’t be in.
