Toffee. Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I kind of love him because he's bland I guess. A lot of similar moves or whatever, I think, but I mean, he is tots flat and I actually think of that as a compliment. :PLikely he is so "bland" because his moves are just what they are, and nothing really special.Though, to be fair, every character basically fights how they are represented in their own matching games.So since Game and Watch does mundane things like diving and being a chef; Go figure, he would get that sort of response.

Fusion X. Denver Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I like G&W, not to the extent I'd really bum out over him leaving, but enough where I'm happy to see him return. Better him than ROB at least. Looks like show's over. I'd say Snake's out based on Pac-Man being in, which is a bummer, but I'll get over it and it gives Brawl merit for replay too.

Thar Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Game & Watch is the most unique, which is why he stands out to me. Plus I've always loved the Tiger games as a kid, so there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thar Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 True. I'd actually be mildly happy but R.O.B. is much more pointless. Especially since irl ROB was a bust. Seriously, why was ROB a character in Brawl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 So is there some Direct I can watch later to catch up on stuff or am I going to have to scrounge around for every bit of info bit by bit? Also, the game that had Mega's FS was the last semifinal match, I believe. He shoots out this big, pulsating blast which, if it hits someone, goes into the cinematic. All the Megas get a cool action shot before they all pose and fire together as we saw before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Especially since irl ROB was a bust. Seriously, why was ROB a character in Brawl? The WTF character. The character everyone raises an eyebrow at when they hear about it? Melee had Game & Watch. Brawl had ROB. 4 had Wii Fit Trainer. You could maybe say Jigglypuff for 64, but I'm not sure. Today was a great day for Smash news. Sceptile's the only thing that could top the hype I felt today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 So apparently Greninja was on the internal roster from the very beginning of development, before X and Y came out, based on early reference drawings. His breakout popularity was, apparently, coincidental. I feel like that's bad new for Sceptile representing ORAS... In all likelihood he asked Gamefreak for suggestions on what pokemon to add. My guess is they went with Gren because they thought he would be the most popular. Continueing from that line, GF would have known about OR & AS so they would have also recommended Sceptile and given an early version of the Megaform since that would likely be what his Final Smash is if he makes it.

I hope to God or whoever the hell that you're right. You make a good point. But if those Gematsu leaks were supposedly true, then he might not make it. Though at the same time, Pac-Man, Palutena, and Miis were all legitimate guesses seen before today, so they may not necessarily correlate with Gematsu.

From my understanding, the only thing missed by the Gematsu leak was Rosalina. Also, I feel like we can go with a FEW more new characters since 12 seems a TAD small. I honestly jut REALLY think Pokemon needs another rep since 4 doesn't do it justice imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 And in that note, it's down to whether Sceptile or Jigglypuff would get the slot. I won't rehash my stance on that since I've beaten that dead horse a few times in this thread already, but that's the one other issue I can think of.

Airride Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 If ROB doesn't come back, I'm actually going to be sad. He's the openly character I can say I've mained besides KIRBY and I'd hate to be stuck with just one again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusion X. Denver Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I've wanted Paper Mario for years, if there's been some talk of him getting in I'm all for it. Same here. I'd take him for a 6th Mario rep over Bowser Jr or anybody else, tbh. Probably not this game (though thankfully I've been wrong before!), but maybe Smash 5. No, 64's was Ness. Over in the US, nobody had any idea who he was. And back then, you really couldn't know. True, no one knew Mother then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I know I had no idea who he was. Same with Captain Falcon, actually. The only game of his I've played is GX, and seen the anime, but both those were much later than Smash 64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not this game (though thankfully I've been wrong before!), but maybe Smash 5. I'd definitely like him over Bowser Jr. It's a shame I haven't even played any Paper Mario games, but meh... Speaking of Sceptile, I haven't said anything yet but y'know what? I'm all for it. Mega Sceptile is probably my favorite mega now, like, legit, and with other reasons I've really loved the guy for among other reasons he really should get in, like the balancing of types, definitely hope so.

Fusion X. Denver Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 It took me a while to realize the gravity and meaning behind Mario, Sonic, Mega Man and Pac-Man coming together to fight. That's pretty awesome (what hasn't been today?) I really like that Pac-Man goes classic at certain times and his moves look fun, versatile and unique. Sure to be a great addition to the roster.

LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Looking at Pac-Man. Honestly he seems to fill the "weird and unique fighting style" roll better than G&W which makes me wonder why they're both in...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Hm, G&W is the one character where my indifference is so great I actually don't want him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Overanalyzing stuff again. We now have 33 characters confirmed (34 if you include Game & Watch), with 9 new fighters. I'm thinking we have room for 3-4 more new characters for the game. Returning veterans (highly likely) are Captain Falcon, Wario, Ganondorf, Meta Knight (because Sakurai loves his characters and there's 12 people now who can balance him out) and Ness. I want to say Falco and maybe Wolf are safe too since Nintendo's planning to make Star Fox relevant again with the Wii U game in development. Snake is out, now that Pac-Man's confirmed. But again, feel free to prove me wrong, Nintendo. Lucas and ROB I want to say are out, maaaybe same with Ice Climbers and Jigglypuff, but maybe not. 34 + 4 = 38 + 2 = 40 with 3-4 new characters makes 43-44 with room for either more returning characters and/or newcomers. Newcomers I'm betting on (with wishful thinking) are Sceptile, Chrom, Shulk and...King K. Rool? Idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
