Toad/Captain Toad for Smash, Toad Brigade Assemble!

[fogbadge]

It is worse than that.

This long-necked biting move. That was what I had in mind for Ekans (it is part of my Team Rocket Meowth moveset).

This spitting poison move. That was what I had in mind for Koffing (it is also part of my Team Rocket Meowth moveset).

I feel sick to my stomach.

This Piranha Plant moveset… it reminds me of that old Piranha Plant moveset I sarcastically made as a joke way back in the Nsider forums. I would rather have Tetris Block than this... and I also made a moveset for Tetris Block way back in the Nsider forums.

my condolences for meowth btw

 

[YoshiandToad]

Personally I'm all for 'generic' Mario species being playable but a 'generic' Mario character who cannot 'jump' and it's not the Captain?

Sadly still in my top three newcomers. At least Toad's Mii outfit is also back.

Just a shame since we see the mobile site being pushed again and it's Toad Vs. Mario and instead we get the plant.

 

[Arcadenik]

It is like... every time I come up with something unique for Meowth, whether it is generic Pokémon Meowth or Team Rocket Meowth (with Ekans and Koffing), Sakurai shows a new character with some moves I had in mind for Meowth. And then I have to go back to the drawing board again.

The same goes for Toad. Piranha Plant's recovery move with the propeller leaves was what I had in mind for Toad with the Propeller Suit from New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

 

[CWCPT00]

Lmao, we were talking about how Piranha Plant should be apart of Captain Toad’s moveset but nah son he’s being made into a fully fleshed out Smash Bros. Newcomer.

boy your head would explode if cat toad got in

 

[Pikmin-ism42]

I still think Sakurai has nothing against Toad, but right now I absolutely cannot blame anyone for believing that.

 

[OptimisticStrifer]

Honestly I wouldn't even be mad with Piranha Plant if he came after Toad....or Paper Mario.... Or Waluigi.... or Geno. I'll probably still pick him up tbh; and I do appreciate the creativity. But c'mon man...

 

[YoshiandToad]

I still think Sakurai has nothing against Toad, but right now I absolutely cannot blame anyone for believing that.

Getting slightly harder to justify the exclusion though, right?
I feel bad for Waluigi fans too. And Paper Mario fans. And Birdo fans. And even King Boo fans.

Still the Plant was the most interesting thing in the Direct.

 

[Arcadenik]

I still think Sakurai has nothing against Toad, but right now I absolutely cannot blame anyone for believing that.

I mean, I understood that Daisy only got in because she was an Echo Fighter of Peach so I gave her a pass for getting in over Toad. I would also understand if the free DLC fighter was Geno since at least many people wanted him for 15+ years and Sakurai himself said he wanted Geno...

But Piranha Plant? A generic enemy? A generic enemy that doesn't walk, let alone jump, gets in Smash? A generic enemy that didn't even get a support thread on SmashBoards or anywhere else? It isn't like Wii Fit Trainer since she at least is the main character of her own series. It just boggles the mind. I thought Mr. Game & Watch, R.O.B., and Wii Fit Trainer were WTF characters... but Piranha Plant is in a league of its own.

I just don't understand why Sakurai would rather put in Piranha Plant over Toad. The only thing that would explain why is if Sakurai absolutely hates Toad. Sakurai was going to keep Toad as Peach's meat shield and the only reason he made Toad do punches and headbutts was to throw a bone to the Toad fans who have been begging for a playable Toad for 19 years... and boy, did we devour that bone for a while!

 

[FancySmash]

So... we're not ignoring Toadette's appearance in that direct, right? I guess her showing up is kinda a victory?

I can.

Piranha Plant is a character everybody knows, has interesting moves, and is one NOBODY EVER saw coming. Three perfect reasons to add anything.
Plus it's just hilarious.
Smash Bros wouldn't be what it is if they always used the safe predictable characters.

 

[L2 Sentinel]

Mr. Game & Watch, R.O.B., Wii Fit Trainer, and now Piranha Plant. Sakurai always has something up his sleeve that no one could possibly predict. This one feels different, though. The others at least represent a franchise or a part of Nintendo history that hasn't had representation before. Piranha Plant is just another Mario character. And while I don't think it was Sakurai's intention, I do feel like Toad is being disrespected when someone as iconic as him gets passed up by a nobody from his series. I'm not mad. I'm never fully satisfied with the final roster of a Smash game, and I didn't expect this time around to be any different. But the Piranha Plant thing definitely confuses me.

 

[Arcadenik]

I think the worst thing about Piranha Plant is not because it got in over Toad but that it opened the floodgates to generic Mario enemies.

Now Toad suddenly has to compete with generic Mario enemies like Goomba, Koopa Troopa, Shy Guy, Boo, Cheep Cheep, etc.

Well, definitely no one saw it coming. Only small benefit is Petey sort of gets a playable role in it. Biting and spitting liquid is nothing new though, but at this point very little is going to be.

It being able to change it's colour and ability reminds me of when Toad fans suggested he use some of the unused powerups but were shot down because it'd change his look too much.

...Piranha Plant changes a lot as it turns out.


In other non plant news; Peach's Final Smash still wasn't shown. Bets on Toad army?

It certainly makes me feel like DLC might be such a wacky box of chocolate that it's dreadful.

Now we can add generic enemies or other "beyond left field"-characters to the list of DLC that might contain 3rd Parties or another FE-rep?

On the other hand, I guess I could attempt rallying for Koopa Troopa in the future...

But again, he's gonna have some serious competition:

I found Daisy's Final Smash!

I assume Peach's Final Smash is still the same.

 

[cybersai]

I think Toadette's rising stardom will definitely get her and Captain Toad in Smash.

Toadette is now in every Mario game. She's in Odyssey, Mario Kart, Mario and Rabbids, Captain Toad, the sports/party games, and now New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. I can easily see Captain Toad and Toadette being male/female alts of each other like Wii Fit Trainer, Robin, etc.

I suppose they have a chance for DLC, Captain Toad being in the background of the New Donk City stage doesn't mean much.

Edible daisies?

OK.

 

[Ed-boy]

This is the most insipid garbage. It isn't even a ****ing echo. I could have thought it was funny if it was an echo.
But no. They spent the dev resources of a full character, the kind of resources that could have made Toad, Waluigi, Bandanna Dee, Isaac, Ray, Impa, or so many others, on a ****ing Piranha plant. Any stage would be a more worthwhile use of dev resources.
This is going to ruin my whole day. I have school **** to do today. What were they ****ing thinking.

You've read my mind. That entire direct was a sea of good & bad to me, but THIS was just....

I'm gonna echo what someone on DK Vine said & say that this might be the closest a video game series has gotten to jumping the shark....

Edible daisies?

OK.

Very nice. Just bursting with creativity & effort...

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

I'm gonna echo what someone on DK Vine said & say that this might be the closest a video game series has gotten to jumping the shark....

Perhaps. It more just upsets to see all naysayers on the Plant be referred as ones that take the series too seriously and can't enjoy it for what it is, hence "deserving what they just got."

Me, I just wish there were other ways this could have been handled. I already didn't want to bother with Toad for a while, but it's pretty impressive to watch how just deep this managed to go regarding many other highly wanted characters. If they spread certain characters more for the final hype ender, it would have made some of these inclusions less messier to take in.

 

[Arcadenik]

Either this was a prophetic dream or a leak.

I guess Sakurai saw that episode.

 

[fogbadge]

i dont think theres any rules for characters anymore sakurai just puts in who he wants

 

[warelander]

The weird thing for me is that I honestly like Piranha Plant for being such a wacky fighter, I just find it disappointing to see characters like Toad or Issac relegated to non-playable roles once more, when one is among Nintendo's biggest characters and the other is not only the mascot for one of the GBA's most notable first party franchises, but also commands a huge and loyal following.

I'm all for Sakurai's wacky antics, we likely wouldn't have characters like Mr. Game & Watch as fighters if it wasn't for him, but the glaring exclusions bite especially hard now or at least I feel like that now.

I actually liked a fair few things about the Direct, I always liked Ken far more then Ryu, again I actually like Piranha Plant and seeing Wario Land characters as spirits feels like a huge victory to me, but my heart sunk hard when Isaac came up as an AT and I honestly don't want another Smash hype cycle to wait for him and Toad, only to get possibly disappointed again.

 

[FancySmash]

How I like to think Piranha Plant got into Smash
Toad: Alright, a Smash invitation to... a Mario character?
Waluigi: Well clearly it's meant for me, everyone loves WALUIGI!
Geno: Hey, I've got loads of supporters too!
Toad: Well I have the history, it's clearly meant for me!
Geno: Alright, we'll settle this the old fashioned way... rock paper scissors!
Toad&Waluigi: Agreed!
Rock paper scissors session
Toad: Ha, my rock beats your scissors, Waluigi!
Geno: Well, my paper beats your rock!
Waluigi: My scissors cut your flimsy paper, stupid puppet!
Toad: Look, this clearly isn't working. We need another way to... wait, where'd the invite go?
Piranha Plant Joins the Battle
Toad: Huh... we, uh, should've been watching that invite.
Geno: ...
Waluigi: ...
Toad: ... well... anyone for Rock Paper Scissors?

I just gotta say... The anger in my heart burns with the white hot intensity of 1,000 suns.

I am just gonna leave it at that.

My hope for Toad/The Captain has just complete shattered and been ground into dust.
But I have one sliver left that I am gripping to that has “DLC” written on it.

I am not convinced it will happen, but I can’t deny that I am still holding onto this sliver of hope even though a strong breeze could pull it out of my hands.

Well, he's in a better place than say...Shadow, Waluigi, Skull Kid and Isaac at least.

No assist trophy to get in the way. It's something!

Yes, but Smash =/= Marvel vs Capcom and Pokken.

And now I have an argument from Smash: Robin still has Chrom in their FS.

Wait... come again?

Robin's Final Smash still has Chrom?

 

[YoshiandToad]

And now I have an argument from Smash: Robin still has Chrom in their FS.

Wait, seriously? Pics please.

If so this is potentially huge for Toad between Piranha Plant killing the generic argument and Chrom remaining a moveset character AND a playable.

ANYTHING CAN CHANGE!

And Tom Nook can still get in even if he is in Villager's and Isabelle's Final Smashes.
