Was I the only one who went "wtf???" to Samus?

I had actually expected everyone else. I had never heard of metroid before this, so it was a huh moment to me.

I'm surprised by the lack of Ness in this thread. He was only in one game, and nobody really played it. (Compared to other series)

Not nearly as 'wtf' as Pichu, Doctor Mario (SSBM) and ROB (Brawl)

Captain Falcon
A racer who had absolutely no moveset potential was put in
and he fit in

Fox had moveset potential cause of stuff like... I dunno, lasers from arwings?
reflector might come from Barrel rolling, Fire fox from...er when you enter the secret stage?

Falcon never left his machine, but fox did...to those who could beat hard mode in 64

I had no idea who Captain Falcon was.
First time I saw him was in Melee, and all I knew was that he was an annoying man who said Falcon before everything.
I called him cheap.
Wow, that was WAY back then.

Ness was also a bit HUH? for me.
I had never even heard of earthbound, much less played it.
I knew Jiggz, and I always liked Luigi better.

Everyone needs to stop saying "Falcon cuz he didn't have a moveset" or "Falcon cuz he was in a racing game".

Seriously, that isn't the reason falcon would be considered a WTF character. Fox didn't have a moveset either...

The only reason Falcon would be a wtf character is due to his small fan base for his games.

Defenitly ness and Jiggs because no one really new who ness was and there is only one good combo for jiggly.(UP B, then Down B) And maybe falcon. because in mele and brawl Ganon and falcon are the same with only 3 different moves.
OWNAGE OUT!!! PEACE TO THE PLAYERS!!!

Earth, right?
Definately Ness and C. Falcon cuz when before I played 64 I never even heard of Mother
And it's funny how someone who thrives to race ends up in a fighting game...

Actually he's someone who thrives to bounty hunt and races for money. At least I think that's how he goes. His main occupation is bounty hunter though.

i say r.o.b.
ness was in melee so it wasnt much of a suprise and neww is just as much as a suprise as lucas.
captain falcon is iffy.
Isn't this thread for the N64 smash?

I think it was Pikachu and Jiggs for me because i was like.. wtf are pokemon doing in a fighting game?

To us North Americans, Ness and Jigglypuff may have seem random but they had massive followings in Japan so they weren't really WTF characters to the target audience. Captain falcon is the only one who kinda came out of nowhere.

I dont think there really was one in the N64 game.
I mean I didnt know who Ness was, but taht doesnt make him a WTF character.
