Hey guys, anyone up for some Smash matches?

I wanna test out my 2 hr. Piranha Plant skills against some real people (and not in FFAs for once).

King K. Rool had been asked since Melee.

Chrom had only been asked since Sm4sh.
K. Rool wasn't demanded until Brawl, and even then the demand only really grew after Diddy got added. Smash 4 was the first time K. Rool was really snubbed.

I posted this in the Piranha Plant thread but I think it bears repeating here.

I will admit, I was a bit peeved Piranha Plant got in at first.

But after playing the character...holy hell. This is an insanely fun and quirky character. I love everything about him. The victory animations, his moveset REALLY gells with me...I am considering maining.

Even if I don't end up maining, 10/10 Sakurai...10/10.

K. Rool: 18 years
Chrom: 6 years

I think Chrom had it just a bit easier.
We also know Chrom was considered for Smash 4. Who knows when Sakurai considered K. Rool.

Chrom definitely had it easier. On the other hand, he also got it harder due to Palutena's Guidance and Robin/Lucina's Trailer.

Being how big Minecraft is and Nintendo choosing DLC. I don't see them passing out on Steve to be honest since gamers this generation recognizes who he is as oppose to Banjo who for the most part is only known by the nostalgic fans.

Not to say it can't be Banjo but it could but I'm putting my odds more on Steve.

Believe me though if it ain't Steve and we get Banjo I'll definitely eat my words.
Oh one more thing

If Steve has a master chief alt

Then speculation is done

The rumor of the other 4 comes true

I'm not losing 200k GSP per loss anymore.

You seem to gain more GSP if you win than lose if you lost.

I recall there was some demand back in the Melee days. It was probably very little though.

No question, he's likely getting in over Banjo...
But I'm not sure if even he's guaranteed to make it.

We need to keep in mind that Steve is a western third party, it would take a lot more work to make him (or any western character), with language barriers, and possible travel costs to meet with the creators/owners. Would Nintendo/Sakurai want to go through the extra hassle?

I'm just not sure yet, but I hope so...

Ah, I see. So the reason that Piranha Plant's Classic Mode is called, "New Bloom" is because he only fights Ultimate's newcomers.

Honestly, I was wondering why there wasn't a classic mode route like this in the base game. We had one for returning veterans and Echoes after all. I think this is a nice idea for our first DLC character!

All that matters is Kencineroar, the Grinch killing dream team, is canon.
Kencineroar sounds like a ship name, and if it's canon...oh no.

What is going to happen when Ken's wife finds out about this?

Dark Pit didn't get the same changes either.

Of course, there was no way to know if all Echoes would have the same changes as their base character. Peach and Daisy are the only time among this patch that happened(and they had the best reason for more differentiation). Chrom/Roy has differences. Though they do share a lot of changes sometimes. Ken and Ryu got many similar ones.
The case of Samus/Dark Samus is interesting, they have the same change for down-b (''Reduced vulnerability'') but Samus got an additional buff (''Extended the range of the missile and reduced the vulnerability when using the move in the air'').

tbh kind sad that the chrombo was nerfed bc it was hype as hell but at least you can still do it as long as you have stock advantage so that's nice

also i'm so happy they didn't touch shulk lol

TBH it isn't that huge of a change. You just can't cheese people with it at low% anymore and getting it right requires better precision on the player's roller cancel. It's still viable, and now has the added benefit of not making people hate you when you use it.

It was the best compromise between those who were for and against a nerf.
I liked my Woomy Cheese though...now I got nothing to eat with them
K. Rool: 18 years
Chrom: 6 years

I think Chrom had it just a bit easier.
Chrom got Falcon Punched so hard he couldn’t even compete for a spot in Smash 4...atleast K Rool was declined reasonably

It's obvious that similar issues will happen with Echoes and their home character. They have the same moveset. Most of the time a glitch/problem will affect the other. So this is expected.

Having differences is probably so users can enjoy them differently. Too bad they aren't giving proper changes to the only pair that could actually use it alone for differentiation.

Regarding the supposed DLC leak: I'd be ok with Steve, hyped af for Doomguy and Ryu Hayabusa, and really the only one I'd be kinda bummed about is Erdrick, because I don't care about Dragon Quest and would prefer Sora, Geno, or Chrono as a SE Character. BUT if Piranha Plant has taught me anything, it's that Sakurai will pour his heart into making a very fun moveset for whatever character makes it in, and I'm sure I'll end up being happy with all of them, even Erdrick.

We still don't know if the leak is accurate though, despite Verge endorsing it.
