Hey. I believe that you have just helped my argument with Geno and Mario. Geno is the Midna of the Legend of the Seven Stars. Everything is happening to him, but Mario is the hero. I have not been able to play Twilight Princess, but I believe that this is what you are getting at.
Geno: I haven't played his game, but that sounds like an apt analogy, if what his fans have to say about him is correct. I can't say for sure though, since as I said I don't have first-hand experience with the game.
So a minor Mario character who is owned by a third party company has more chance than a relevant 1st party Mario character?
So you know for a fact that Sakurai absoloutly defiantly chose those entries because the thought they would make good playable characters?
And Brittney Spears might buckle down, stop drinking and become a responsible mother. What have you hypothetical situations got to do with anything.
For which permission had to be asked and royalties may have had to be payed.
Magical Paintbrush, screaming ala SMSCF and Fire balls and what not from NSB, very tricky stuff to pull a moveset from that.
And again I marvel at your psychic abilties.
Yeah Leigh Loveday's confirmation isn't enough. Also the opening to the DKC2 GBA Remake clearly isn't canon gosh!
9th best selling video game series in the world, Nintendo's fourth best selling video game series get only two characters while a significantly smaller franchise like Kirby gets three. That is called biased.
Fighting with her hair, but I suppose as proved by SSB and SSBM Sakurai is a very uncreative man with limited imagination.
Donkey Kong Jr is the current Donkey Kong as a child, he is like Baby Mario.
These were around long before Krystal pining over Fox and Wolf and Kat. They're just more vocal nowadays.
No he hasn't! Munchlax always has been and always will be the fourth generation mascot. Lucario is just a popular pokemon from the fourth gen.
Dedicated to him? Have you seen it? He's a co-star with Mew and Ash and all of his little friends (plus the stupid kid with glasses) he is a main character but it is not dedicated to him.
Considering the fact that Ike has his FE9 look not his FE10 look I fail to see how he could accuratly promote ****.
Have you played Fire Emblem at all? Her magical style would be completely different from all of them and she wouldn't have to just use FE10 light magic (and dark if they decide to use her promoted form) she could easily use light magic from the other games in the series which dates back to FE4, which would provide a lot of potential.
It's been out less than a year, give it time.
Only idiots say this, the plot revolves entirely around him.
Thanks, I was going to say many of those things, but you beat me to it.
Source? I agree, but source?
Clearly you are unnaware of the fanatical devotion Tingle commands in many circles. Also, just out of curiousity, how many of the PC's from Melee had their trophies shown several weeks before they were announced? Yeah, that would be a big ol' 0.
Come on, let's be realistic. That's not hypothetical, that's a miracle.
I did a lot of time and research for this topic. Also, Radiant Dawn is stuck at where it is at in Japan it definitely won't be getting to 140K, RPGs have no legs there (also it was released back in February). I'm sorry I did not write a glowing over-exaggeration of the prospects of your favorite characters, and as I tried to be as unbiased as possible.
Thank you. Also, I'll be updating my analyses whenever another character gets confirmed or deconfirmed, so they are as up to date as possible.
You're kidding. Marth is the single most important and popular character in that series' history. Excluding him from SSB on the basis of his appearance and weapon of choice would be sheer idiocy - like excluding Luigi because hes basically Mario in green (or more accurately, Mario because hes basically Luigi in red), or denying DK entry because Diddy is also a brown-furred primate. Theres no logic to it whatsoever, and its based on irrelevant factors.
No dude, I love Marth as much as the next guy, I just don't think they should be the only two reps for FE. You don't have to defend him though, even if there ARE only two, Marth will come back, but you have to agree that it'd be nice to have someone who doesn't use a sword? Not even for FE's sake, just for Brawl in general to add a little diversity...Even a spellcaster/sword wielder like Isaac would be good.
there's just one extremely small problem I have with mega man's placement:Mega Man:
Mega Man (or Rock Man as he is known in Japan) is the protagonist of the Mega Man series. The rendition that is shown in the picture above is from the classic series. Mega Man is considered by many to be Capcom’s mascot. He has many different series ranging from the “classic”, X, Legends, Battle Network, Zero, Star Force, and ZX. If there is one character from Capcom who should be in Brawl, it should be Mega Man. Why? Mega Man is basically Capcom’s mascot, and he is a major icon to gaming, much like Mario, Link, Sonic, Donkey Kong, or Pikachu. Also, Mega Man has had many games on many Nintendo consoles and also debuted on the NES, making him also an integral part of Nintendo’s game library and history. Mega Man also has a wide variety of moves from all of the games he has been in, making it very easy to come up with a moveset with him. Also, Mega Man has already been in a fighting game (the Marvel vs. Capcom series). Mega Man is by far one of the most deserving third-party characters to be in Brawl. Mega Man is also the only third-party character besides Geno to get more than one vote in Sakurai’s poll. Mega Man not only has the best chances out of any Capcom character, he also has the best chances out of any third-party character. Overall, Mega Man’s chances are extremely good.
Not at all. I see absolutely no reason to judge a character based on something as irrelevant as their fighting style, especially in the case of swordsmen, since swords are the archetpyical heroic weapon and therefor get given to many video game heroes. If a character makes for a good representative of their series, it doesn't matter whether they fight with their fists, a sword, magic, a staff, or whatever else; and if they don't, they shouldn't get in just because of what weapon or ability they do fight with.
I'm sorry I didn't find a picture of classic Mega Man that I could use (I only found a sprite from MM8), so this is the best for now, I will be changing the picture though when I do find artwork of classic Mega Man that I can post.
yeah, he doesnt deserve a spot
Yeah, although Geno is my personal favortie among the likely Mario newcomers and think he has the best moveset potential, I think that he is the least important character to the Mario series among the likely newcomers. Bowser Jr. is the fifth most important character in the main Mario games, and Paper Mario has his own series. Geno only had an important role in one game, and a cameo in another. Nevertheless, I think Geno is the most likely because of is massive populairty in Japan. Heck, in Japan, Pokemon Trainer was much like Sonic and Ridley here, a popular character with some sceptics that thought he would be too awkard or wouldn't work, many Smash fans hated Red (which was that called him) because his fans were so confident of his placement in Brawl as a playable character and thought that the Trainer would be unable to fight. Also, Red ranked high on the Melee Japanese poll. I am thinking we might be at the mercy of the Japanese-Smash fanbase when it comes to characters placing in Brawl as playable.
Yeah, and Marth is very likely to return. Also, you have Bowser Jr. (if he uses the Paint Brush like a sword), Ganondorf (who will likely use his sword in his moveset), Wind Waker Link, Krystal (if she uses her staff), Roy, Sigurd, Eliwood, Masked Boy, Isaac, and Lip (if she uses Lip's stick as her primary means of offense) as possible sword-fighter characters. However, I was just using an argument by his detractors, in my analysis. I just wanted to be as fair as possible. Remember, that there are a lot of possible sword-users in Brawl, and we don't know how many Sakurai is going to place into Brawl. However, Takamaru does not have much competition in the Retro category, with the only one who could take his spot being Sukapon.
Yet on the other hand you have an opening fight between Kirby and Petey Pirannah. I don't think its necessarily safe to assume that Subspace Emissary will pair each character with their respective rivals from their own series - crossovers seem to be in the works too.
Oh yeah, I do understand that. That is what makes the entire game really interesting. However, for Bowser to possibly challenge the trio instead of trio makes me wonder a bit. Maybe Bowser and K. Rool are working side by side haha.
How so? They all are quite popular, and have moveset potential. And I mentioned that Tingle and Lip were the least likely possible contenders in their respective categories.
I hope so - that would be awesome in so many ways
! Especially if you got to fight both at once as a boss fight.
A while ago on GameFAQs, I posted detailed topics about contenders for a Square-Enix rperesentative, a Capcom representative, and a Namco representative. I also posted the Square-Enix topic here on SmashBoards, so if you search for it, it should be here. I also started to do a Sega analysis topic a few months ago, and I wrote analyses for Sonic and some of the lesser Sonic characters, however, I never finished it because there was a lack of demand for it (because Sonic was pretty much unchallenged for the Sega rep category).
