I think that opinion doesn't belong in this thread. It's absolutely pure and wholesome.
Thank you! I usually lurk on this site but this has lately become one of my favorite threads to participate in due to the diversity of opinions that are shared.
Such a pure smiley boy, I wouldn't even be mad if he got in before Adeleine. I was one of the few that wanted Slime over Hero and Gooey fits that quirky aesthetic very well. I could even see the two interacting in a hypothetical reveal trailer for him.Same but Gooey. Look at this smiley boi. Tell me he doesn't deserve the world.
Judging by the reaction to Shadow and Isaac's assist trophies in the November direct, I'd say that's quite a popular opinion among the Smash speculation community
I get that the core cast of a series should be prioritised in terms of getting into Smash but yeah, agree it shouldn't have to stop there - a character doesn't single-handedly have to be representative of a whole series to be a worthwhile addition
Says the guy who thinks Joker should’ve been an Assist Trophy.
I know, and just because a character is an assist trophy, doesn't mean they don't have a chance of being playable in the future games.You know about, right?
Having Joker/Ren as an assist trophy instead of playable wouldn't be such evil/harassing in my opinion. Nor would it be a heartbreaker.
Correct, I have to say that making Isaac, Shadow, Waluigi, Kunckles, and Bomberman assist trophies were just acts of plain evil/harassment.
They can always get a chance in a future game - besides, it was assist trophies or nothing: Sakurai probably didn't intend to make them playable characters in the first place
This is ridiculous. You should be happy that these characters are assist trophies because otherwise they wouldn't be in the game at all. Not being an assist trophy doesn't mean a character has any more of a chance of being in the game. For (presumably) most characters it's either be an assist trophy or be absent from Smash altogether. The devs probably never considered those characters to be fighters at all and thought they would make great assist trophies--I think they did a pretty damn good job at that.
Your original post said it "destroys their opportunities to be playable" without mentioning future games, implying that being an AT is a seal of doom for eternity.
Congratulations. You just admitted you're a hypocrite. Now explain to me why making Isaac, Shadow, etc. assist trophies is evil harassment but if they did the same for Joker that's totally fine....
It's a video game, no need to be so dramatic. I was rooting for Shadow but when he was revealed to be an Assist Trophy, I just shrugged and moved on.
Gooey is actually playable in the fan game Super Smash Bros. Crusade (alongside other highly requested characters that didn’t quite make the cut in SSBU like Waluigi, Shantae and Bomberman) you should check that out at some point if you wanna see an interpretation as to how he’d play in Smash.Same but Gooey. Look at this smiley boi. Tell me he doesn't deserve the world.
and in Smash.

Is this even Smash anymore?! Keep it simple, geez. The how you shoot the end credits should have retained its pre formats, does EVERYTHING have to change?!?
You're saying that giving you the option to use a ticket, spend gold, or quit, along with collecting Spirits, is demanding too much, yet don't even acknowledge that it demands you rush through the stages and avoid damage? I hardly even consider the latter two ot the former one making this game a "shell of Smash's former self", in your words. They're just nitpicks I have.Finally got around to playing Ultimate and man. Classic Mode has been pretty great and carries that good ol' random, admittedly, but the game still really demands too much. Not bothering with collecting stickers nor do I really want to use a ticket, all so damn confusing. I just want to unlock characters. I also don't need envisions of the characters shoved in my face
Smash has really become a shell of its former self.
I got a good idea how to have unique break the target stages for all characters without spending too much resources, add a level editor for that. So basically a break the targets maker, we already see people make creative levels with the stage builder. Matter of fact smash could definitely benefit from having more level editors in more modes. Like for race to the finish, classic mode, event matches etc.
Adeleine (with or without Ribbon) would be a pretty good newcomer for Kirby. Kirby 64 was always one of my favorite Kirby games and Kirby's Dreamland 3 is a lot like it.
No. I definitely don't want to use a ticket or collect Spirits. I didn't have to in Smash 64, Melee, ignored it in Smash Wii U and I don't want to even now. Just give me good ol' trophies and the lottery machine. At least one over the ladder is least work.
Even as a supporter of Dee, not only would I be 100% okay with Gooey getting in first because, well look at him, but he also makes sense to an extent to get in over Dee.Same but Gooey. Look at this smiley boi. Tell me he doesn't deserve the world.
Um, how to say this... these opinions are quite unpopular, yes. But, do you have any that doesn't involve removing playable characters or the iconic stuff?
I mean she's not in the game at all even as a spirit so you might not be wrong.
Because Sakurai, being the creator of Kirby, has shown in Smash Bros. clear bias for the games that he directed and such, while not giving too much of a care for the games that did not involve him. This likely explains the lack of content in general from the modern Kirby games, compared to the ones that he directed.
Why did he default to a Super Star stage though instead of something from Return To Dream Land? It's very weird.
Actions speak louder than words, I feel. I mean, beyond that article, has there ever been anything mentioned by Sakurai about modern Kirby?
Logically it wouldn't make sense if Sakurai was biased against modern Kirby since he would be holding back so much potential and disappointing a lot of fans. Despite the speculation and all of the signs that he's holding back on modern Kirby content I'd like to imagine it's also a misconception. However, the Epic Yarn stage issue, in my opinion, almost confirms that there's some kind of bias in his decision making. Think of it this way: If the Epic Yarn stage had truly mattered, they wouldn't have replaced it with Wooly World. And when they did make a replacement, they could have chosen any recent game, such as the late Return to Dream Land or the upcoming Triple Deluxe. Instead they chose another stage from Super Star, a game which was eighteen years old at the time.
so... he scrapped a stage based on Modern Kirby upon hearing of a game (that wouldn't even be out by the time Smash 4 released) that had a slightly similar art-style.
I'm not attached to either, but I do agree that Hero looks more interesting.
I forgot mention that when a character who has a potential to be playable is assist trophy, it can be worse than nothing because not having them as an assist trophy saves their chances to be playable in the current game. For example, back in smash 4, Ryu and Cloud were lucky not to be assist trophies and they finally made it in. And assist trophies can't be promoted via DLC. So it's better to have those types of characters not be assist trophies even if they aren't going to be playable.
