Anyway, if we're talking about pony-tailed girls that should definitely, absolutely, assuradly, certainly, 100% should get into Smash:

I'm on mobile and can't see the pictures.

...it's Lyn, isn't it?

 

[Idon]

WHY DO THEY ALL HAVE SWORDS
ew, lynn

Because for some reason in Japan there's a strong correlation between ponytail girls and iaijutsu.

Also applies to very effeminate men as well:

I'm on mobile and can't see the pictures.

...it's Lyn, isn't it?

It's actually multiple Lyn lookalikes, including Lyn.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Because Idon likes two things.

Ponytails and edgey sword wielders.

ok rant time

A personal problem I have with modern superhero comics/films is that these are characters formed in an era from the 40s - 60s. While that alone isn't a problem, a lot of things can be outdated. Again, not a problem, but some are these are permanent aspects that can't be undone. Like, y'know, their names.

If you can name me one person you know who's genuinely named **** in the modern world is the only person who could sympathize with Robin for somehow not having his name legally changed in an almost 2020 world when back in the 40s it was just Richard how do you get **** from richard

I think some recent comics started calling Nightwing Rick instead. But most people are just used to calling him **** Grayson. If any cartoon series felt the need to call him Rick Grayson instead, maybe that'd be a change that'll stick longer. Usually the well made adaptions have a bit of influence on the characters in the comics later on. I think the main comics re-conned Iron Man testing weapons out during the Vietnam war, now being the Middle East Post 911 war.

I mostly get annoyed when adaptions alter a personality or design too much. At that point you could have made the character someone else.

I hit 5,000 posts, and my 5,000th was wasted on a ****post "theory" about Jill.

That sounds about right.

you make aliens a normal thing for people but no you just gotta keep bin laden in the lore

 

[staindgrey]

There's literally no reason.

Firearm? Check. Ponytail? Check? Generic design that still manages to be recognizable and conventionally attractive? Check? Starts with J? Check.

They are the same character.

Oh wow! Well if that's the case...

[Gentlepanda]

Right, but none of that invalidates wildvine's driving point.


On the other hand, phonetic similarities between codenames is a tenuous thread to grasp. "Jack" and "Doyle" were related, but certainly dissimilar phonetically, and probably etymologically too.

i think another issue i have with the theory that jane is garbage data from another fighter is that, while the .mchp file implies that the model is in a near-finished state (as per pushdustin, at least), 'jane' doesn't even appear in the fighter listings below jack or brave (and this is at a time when the development team weren't aware that dataminers had access to this, and so didn't bother to hide anything).

if she was being tested internally as a seperate character, it seems to me that 'jane' should have appeared in this list by the very necessity of being 'playable'. it also seems odd to me that a fighter so early in development as to not even be indexed beneath jack and brave would have a near-finished model.

Summon Swords though.

Spoiler

There isn't a single sword in the world that can't be made cooler by you summoning it directly into your hand.
Except maybe Guts's Dragonslayer, but that's cheating.

Sakurai stated there would be no echo fighters.

Jane has to be someone else.

And potential characters with ponytails?

I can only think of a modern design Jill Valentine or Shantae.

Lara Croft, I think she had a ponytail before the braid. If she's based more on the Modern one, than for sure she'd have a ponytail. Or she is a mix of Classic and Modern, kind of like Simon's design in Smash is.

Quick question, does Ultimate's programming even allows more alt costumes? I know there are limited places for playable characters, but I imagine it easier to add cosmetics.

You'll likely have to wait for modding to evolve to see more alts. Unless you mean in base game, then I wouldn't know.

I know in Smash 4's modding scene, Little Mac having 16 costumes meant the game could understand that a character can max out at 16 costumes without messing up, so modders early on took advantage of that and were able to "fill the empty slots" for characters like Samus or Marth. Which sounds dirty but it works.

Still only watched the first episode. But her reaction to gambling seemed fitting for the situation.

Also I figured it'd get a reply out of you.

Also x2 there are too many gifs of the foot thing so I don't think I'm gonna look for Kakegurui gifs anymore.

How dare you bait me with something that clearly worked?

Grey has it right, honestly.

A popular Resident Evil character is bound to happen eventually, and considering the close connection to guns, ponytails, and being a female it's pretty clear to see who the obvious winner in this race is...

I would only be mildly disappointed. Claire is great.

Also **** you.

 

[Knight Dude]

Fascinating.

Someone give me a reason Jane is a codename for any other character but Jill before I run this into the ground.

Jane could be "Jane Doe", so a placeholder female character. Girls with ponytails include, Jill, Lara, Dixie, Roll and Shantae to name a few.

If said file has a relation to firearms, this also applies to Lara.

Talking seriously, I very much doubt that Shantae would have simple ponytail physics. Her hair would need to be animated differently as it would be used as a weapon and need hurtboxes tailored to its shape in various positions.

Take it up with Marvel. I would agree making a generic war would be for the best, so that any changes will feel less weird.

Talking seriously, I very much doubt that Shantae would have simple ponytail physics. Her hair would need to be animated differently as it would be used as a weapon and need hurtboxes tailored to its shape in various positions.

Probably, but for simple jumping and running they could use a slightly different model. If I'm not mistaken, some games tend to have different hand models for different actions.

I just saved a Peppa Pig stage. WHY ARE THESE POSTS SOO FUNNY TO ME?!

 

[PsySmasher]

The more and more I play Joker, the more obvious his lack of killing power becomes.

Without Smash attacks and Arsene, literally nothing kills till like 120%.

I've now had matches that go on for way longer and in the event of a Joker ditto, they either go down to the last minute, or to Sudden Death.

I'm just under 4.3 million GSP w/ him, so about 100K more till Elite.

But I ain't playing any more of him tonight.

 

[Knight Dude]

If people think Joker is too anime, wait until we get a cherry blossom yamato nadeshiko who fights in a katana using mecha.

So if that's one of the most "Annie May" characters, what could be the most 'Murica! character? I wanna say Doom Slayer. Duke Nukem lacks the armor and pure RIP AND TEAR rage Doom Slayer has.
