Why does everyone believe there MUST be a playable Animal Crossing character?

Ok, some people say there has to be an AC character, in all truth, there does not HAVE to be one, its just somthing we want. Like Sonic, people want him, but he doesn't HAVE to be in.

We want an AC rep, just because its a cool franchise, and it would be cool to have another unique character.
Ha. Don't think so. There are many people that don't want one. I don't see why. I think it would make an awesome and unique character. There's far more things going for an AC character than there is against. Time will tell if there will be one, but I'm pretty sure of it.

Ok, Tom Nook was deconfirmed, K.K Slyder was deconfirmed, Resseti was deconfirmed, who else could rep the AC franchise? the ac Human? that's worse than any other ac character.

Being in the backround doesn't deconfirm anyone. In fact, the whole K.K. Slider thing could be a way to unlock him. As for the AC human, thats opinion. Most of the hate for AC comes from opinion. You don't have to like it, but it's a little silly to invest anger in something so trivial.

I dissagree, the K.K slyder think only implies that sakurai is Reping the whole franchise with an extraordinary stage.

Edit:

Of course, K.K would be better than Nook, i'll give you that.

Eh. Nook is an ex-cage fighter...So I dun know about that. K.K. Slider seems most likely to me cause of the "Hero's always arrive late," business, and would have a unique moveset..

Seriously, guys. There's literally nothing that says there must be an AC character except for the posts by all you people that claim it.

I know I'm going to get a "There's an Animal Crossing stage!" response, so I'll say right now: So what?
There are stages based on the Smash Bros. universe. Why aren't some of the Smash Bros. exclusive characters playable?

And someone's going to say "Why would they put the world icon if there wouldn't be a character?"
Maybe because there's a stage.
because there just MUST be one. lol

I know that there are people who likes to fight with the obvious. But that's ok.

R.M.B. were else?
because stages come with the characters, not the other way around. besides, it is most likely the animal crosser will be your customisable brawler IMO. so I dont see why they would ignore both these factors.

Funny, how people who think there will be an AC character, have nothing better to say in their defense than "there'll be an AC character, just because".

You obviously didn't read the above posts. No one said there will be one just because. They pointed out that AC has a stage, an item, and an AT. And an Emblem. There is much more things going for an AC character, than there are against. Funny how people turn a blind eye to evidence because of the fact that they don't want a certain character in.

Thanks for assuming the incorrect. You're the ones counting those things as the 'just because'.

You people are basing this off of the past games. Just because those things are there, that doesn't mean the series is getting a rep.

Brawl =/= Melee. Remember that.

AND they're represented by their own icon/symbol!

Why do people keep forgetting this.
If Smashville didn't have it's own symbol, it would make it look like the stage was an original Smash creation, like Battlefield and Final Destination. Since it isn't, it gets it's own symbol.

Because this site is made for speculation so people are speculating?

I'd guess that an AC character stands a better chance than a lot of characters like Ridley, Dixie Kong or more Poekmans because there are already characters representing those franchises whereas AC doesn't have one yet.
The hell? This guy deserves a spot in brawl more then an AC character, playable or boss
or whatever. He's been in more games, he has better fighting status, he plays a bigger
part in a game then an AC character (AC games have almost no plot, so you can't
really have a role in it now can you... except maybe nook)

However, it wouldn't get it's own symbol unless they had a character

You didn't read Lu-gi-oh's post.
Like, at all.
Yes I did

He said that having the smash icon would make it look like Battlefield/ etc.?

Then I suppose Little Mac belongs to the Smash series only, because that's the way his icon is making him look

It doesn;t matter...He doesn't use an icon from a series...Items from series with no characters don't have an icon either...


and stages would as well


But it does, so it has a character

Hahaha the first 2 pages sound like a religion war, Christianity vs Athiesm. *Athiest*


I think it's possible for an AC character to come in, but their moveset I'm not so sure about. Maby it'll be the guy and girl, Ice Climber's style.

Hmm... I suppose I never thought of it that way...

Still!

wow... are you that against Animal Crossing characters.. Geez. The more characters the better, hell i don't care what characters they put in, as long as there are a lot of characters.

And there is no "proof" just strong speculation. There is over 50% chance there will be an AC rep. deal w/ it.

Thats what I say. More characters the better. To be against a characters inclusion is silly.

Someone once told me that you get quality through quantity. Like if you have an apple tree of apples as opposed to a small bag. Chances are, unless they were already pre-screened, there will be more high quality apples on the tree than in the bag, even if the ones in the bag came FROM the tree. With a larger base to choose from, the more quality can show up.

Well I think an animal crossing character would be good quality and the game will have a large quantity of characters...


I mean it will be funny and cut seeing a weird little rag doll or animal thing running around chopping people with axes and such!:chuckle:

Ha, this is such a widely debated topic, it's great!

I would have to jump on the PRO AC PC bandwagon, mostly because of the symbol. I only figure that since to have a symbol and not a character is out of the smash norm. We haven't seen a cahracterless symbol yet, so it would be a change that most figure wouldn't really happen. I don't mid either way, but I reckon it's more likely than unlikely. It's a much better argument than the logic one. People argue logic in this game, it's so stupid and funny. You want logic, then I want Link to cut people in half with his sword and for the opponent not to come back...Wouldn't make for the greatest game, would it? (actually, it would be pretty cool, haha).

Oh, and the whole needing a symbol to show what game it is from otherwise it is a Smash original argument, it has upsides, but then again, people could say (and probably have, I haven't read it) that all the assist trophies that don't have their own symbols are being paraded as smash originals then. I mean, it wouldn't be hard to make symbols for everything, they aren't particularly big or technical or detailed.

Yeah, but I don't really mind. I think the main reason I want one in is because of a guy from another forum, he played a high and mighty routine, saying he knew there would be NO AC character playable. Just want one in so to discredit him, knock him down a peg or two. Heh, ah immaturity is KING!

Why does everyone else believe there shoudn't be an ac charecter?

The only person who knows the truth is sakurai himself and besides why are you so against an ac charecter? Just because some people don't want an ac charecter doesn't mean there shouldn't be one many people WILL want an ac charecter.

Ok I think I get what you are saying BUT, I just know that Sakurai and the ssbb creaters will make every fighter top quality even if there was 50 charecters or more, Sakurai just doesn't seem the type to rush things or leave anything unfinished.

I don't have anything against having a playable AC character, it would actually be fun. (Unless they would take up a place over another cool character)

But the AC characters are peaceful and loving.(Well somewhat...Resetti...) I don't know..it wouldn't feel right seeing them kicking people's butts. In other words, they're not the type to engage in anykind of battle. Just a thought.

The evidence is greatly in favor,it's no absolute proof,but it's very strong,I hate how people are denying it,seems like selfish opinions to me.T_T as many said,anything was possible at the beginning of development,it's being fixed and ground soon.:chuckle:

Now, looking at one of the biggest points brought up on this thread, and considering the recent PictoChat stage, that ALSO has an icon, this brings up a very interesting question:

Do you all think that there is still going to be an Animal Crossing character because there is an icon, and by proxy, a character that goes with the icon shown for the PictoChat stage as well?

OR

Do you think that the icon represents only the stage, items and AT, and that the PictoChat stage will have no associated character with it...?

I was thinking the exact same thing, myself, and it has made me feel more doubtful of there being an AC character now.

I think there will be a "Pictochat" character. Remember, this is a DS logo, not a pictochat logo. I think this logo is actually an umbrella term for all DS exclusive things like the Nintendogs, Elite Beat Agents, and Pictochat. In otherwords, assuming my theory is correct, the Nintendog AT has this logo.

I'd say the latter. And I never actually believed that an AC character would be playable, just that there was nothing necessarily ruling one out.

Man, I can't believe all of you believed that the only reason there will be an Animal Crossing character in Brawl is the icon = character argument (which was quite an unfounded argument). There are other better reasons. I still think that it is quite likely we will see an Animal Crossing character.
