Smash Journeyman
This is not a thread to discuss Toad
Many characters are wanted for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Some are wished for by many, such as Sonic and Ridley, while some are supported a small group of people, such as Skull Kid. Us smashers debate about which characters have higher chances than others. However, some of the arguments that we use may be null and void.... Why? Well, Sakurai will not always do the most practical thing. For instance, look what happened to Toad.
Toad is returning as Peach's B-move.
Now, whenever someone said, "Toad can't be playable in Brawl because he is Peach's B-move!" a Toad fan such as myself would say, "Toad can easily be replaced by Toadsworth or one of Peach's moves from Super Princess Peach."
But did that happen?
Unfortunately, no.
So while reason showed that Toad wasn't limited to Peach's B-move, he's still hidden under Peach's dress.
What does this mean for other characters?
Well, some of the other arguments that we use may also not be portrayed in Brawl.
1. A moveset may be created for any character.
This is an argument used a lot for responding to people who say, "A moveset can't be created for that character!" Sure, a totally new moveset was created for Captain Falcon and a few other characters, but that doesn't mean that Sakurai will want to make a moveset for Unknown or Waluigi (two characters that I don't want playable in Brawl, but some do).
The next point is very similar.
2. Any character can be Luigified
Everyone says that Falco, Ganondorf, and other characters that were 'clones' in Brawl can get new moves so they won't be so similar to other characters. But Peach could have just as easily changed her B-move, but that didn't happen. Is Sakurai keeping most movesets the same? I guess we'll have to wait and see.
3. Resizing
The argument used the most against Ridley is that he is too big (other than the argument that he is to cool for Brawl
.) Of course, characters such as Bowser have been resized. And Kirby has been enlarged, so characters such as Captain Olimar don't have to worry. Right?
Well, I do hope that both of these characters are playable in Brawl. But what if Sakurai says that Ridley should NOT be shrunk because he wouldn't think that it would fit for him to be just a bit larger than Bowser. Of course, Ridley WAS downsized for the Melee intro and a few games.
But, like with Toad, Sakurai might MINDGAME us and not put in characters for stupid reasons.
You may say, "Sakurai is smart and he wouldn't do anything stupid."
I agree with you on this, but you can never predict what Sakurai's motives are...
Note: I fully support Ridley, Captain Olimar, Falco, and Ganondorf for Brawl, I'm just using them as examples.
Thanks for reading!
