Need to ask this...

Why do people think that THE Mario series is over populating the roster?

You got Mario, DK, Wario and Yoshi

Yet people want Ashley, Mona, the twins, Vivian and Dixie and people complain about the over populating rule?

I'd update the first post a bit but every time I try to change it and add bold and underline things it says it's loading but it never fully loads :(

Sorry, We'll just have to live with the first post the way it is :ohwell:

Paper Mario impacts the main Mario series, as evidenced by the Star Spirits in Mario Party 4 or 5 (the one with the tank fights.) Because of this I believe they'd be under the Mushroom insignia.

Well I thought mario party 4 and 5 were decent but then got Six and I realized "Hey they're not changing very much". So I stopped getting them.

I wonder if Vivian will appear in another game......I hope so, she's a really cool character....I think I might search for my copy of the thousand year door and play it again. :cool:

Thats the thing you have to respect about Nintendo once the partners are in 1 game and have developed character wise they stop using them, like the pas FF games except for 7 (most of the games after are just to explain personaly back story) and sequels like FFX2

Unless you want Goombario down to Ms. Mowz to be in Mario Party Filler like Waluigi, no thank you.

So mario and yoshi's character havn't developed yet? Well anyway I do not want to see Vivian become mario party filler I'd rather see her remembered fondly as the character from the Paper mario series and (hopefully) brawl.

Well Mario is a silent protagonist. In any of the games in the last 20 something years has he ever shown his own actions? No you controll what he does or someone has persuaded him to do a action like Mallow or Peach or Toad. Yoshi i dont know.

Same here about the PM and Brawl part.

Vivian has everything Sakurai wants in a character: Female, looks unique and has a lot of potential for a moveset, the only thing she doesn't have is votes from that poll he made :(

But I'm sure if he wants to put her in, she's in regardless of the poll. :)

Anyone have ideas for possible alternate outfits for Vivian?

I'm thinking:

Green hair and Red hat, that would be a good one for christmas.
White hair with a completly black hat, Make her look like a witch.

Only thing against her...legs and not high support/votes

Well Vivian doesn't need legs to actually move......but I'm more worried that she's stuck to the ground in the paper mario games.......I'm sure the developers could figure something out :)

How would she get knocked off the stage?

Her body could detach from her...bottom part maybe?

I don't really know but the developers would have the know how to do it I'm sure :)

Sorry if it has been asked before, but if she does make an appearance on the Dojo as a playable character or assist trophy, would they still use the mushroom symbol to represent her?

And her Final Smash should be summoning her sisters and launch an ambush or to make some sort of shadow blast or black hole that acts like a magnet and repeatedly damage anything in contact.

Just my two cents here.

Paper MArio is Mario as Paper so Mushroom symbol unless Miyamoto says otherwise

I'd rather not see anyone from Paper Mario, especially not a partner. Her possible moveset is no more original than any other Paper mario character, so why her? Hopefully we won't be seeing any more transvestites after Zelda/Sheik from Melee.

I don't know what you got against the paper series but read my sig if it shows up beneath the Geno banner.

Sure, the majority may not agree, but the majority is fairly unintelligent.

I have nothing against the series, but if one out of place Paper mario character somehow manages to appear in a fighting game 3D characters, there's not much basis behind it being Vivian in particular other than "people like her!"

Well Vivian was in sakurai's poll and before you say that means nothing, it does, Sakurai must have some preference for her if she was the only paper mario partner in the poll.

Plus your arguement against her cause she's 2D is silly, Mr. game and watch is 2D aswell!

Uh well I registered this thread as the vivian support thread on the sticky character support thread list.

Besides I don't see why there can't be two vivian threads, after all there must be about at least 5 different Geno or Megaman support threads.

Also I'm updating the first post today, I'll tidy it up a bit and add some more pictures :)

Well Sakurai has been showing an interest in having more female fighters so....that boosts her chances.

Things going for her:

1.Sakurai Showing interest in more female fighters
2.She would be a unique fighter
3.Was on Sakurai's poll
4.Is possibly the most memorable paper mario partner.

Things against her:
1.Not very popular


That's all I can see anyway....
i think shes kinda popular
i know people who dont even got the game and they are fans of her(im not one of em)
but sure w/e as long as its not geno or ww link im up for it

I think that many people might get a surprise when they find the characters they supported like crazy don't become playable in brawl and they ones they completly ignored get in as playable.

I think this will happen...I've seen so many people supporting Ridley/Geno I actually started to think they should be in (I have nothing against them by the way, I'm neutral about them) even though I hadn't played any metroid games and prefered Mallow over Geno. I think there may be too much Hype over some characters and not enough on others.

I hope this is the case with Vivian. That she will be an unexpected character for brawl. At the end of the day, Geno and Vivian.....both partners to Mario, Both have a role in the storyline.

The only thing Seperating them is Popularity, and sakurai said he was not going to focus on popularity alone.

Geno was memorable I got the entries to prove it.

I liked Vivian not because shes cute or popular but had the same potential that Geno had...best partner in the game.

Yes but this is what I'm saying, Geno may be miles more popular then Vivian but when it comes down to it they have both been memorable partners to mario and both have potential for brawl. I don't think one is better than the other......I can imagine sakurai with a list of partners mario has ever had in a rpg. He's not going to say "Geno is way more popular than the others so I'll forget the rest" He'll look at all of them fairly and not only think of the popularity factor.

That's why I think Geno and Vivian have the same chance. Because when you strip all the popularity away from Geno, vivian has as much a chance of being in as him.

Actually a far greater chance. Vivian isn't on a Square-Enix leash. Geno is. :)

I added Vivian's support Icon to the main page if anyone wants to use it, just make sure you click on the link under the icon and copy from the address bar instead of just copying the link Because the Link doesn't show all of the Code under vivian's icon. ;)

I want to have Vivian being playable, but I doubt she will be in.

Wasn't Vivian male in the Japanese game?
Or is this wrong?

No she was never male........

and think of it this way, there are characters like Snake and Sonic that got in that most people didn't really think they had a chance of being in brawl....but now they are. I think Vivian has a very good chance of being playable....as much a chance as Geno has.

As someone else said before on this thread, Vivian's just as unique and memorable as Geno and she is easier for Sakurai to get than Geno as sakurai doesn't need permission from anyone to put her in. The only real advantage geno has is popularity and as sakurai has said that won't be all he'll look at when picking new characters.

I fully believe she has a chance...if I don't and other people who like her don't we might aswell just close the thread and give up :(

But that isn't going to happen! :laugh:

Actually Snake and Sonic were planned ever since the last 1, PT was a unexpected newcomer same with ICs returning
