Pokken Tournament

Ditto would be really dumb. Like, his gimmick is he copies things and I'm PRETTY sure you can already do mirrors. He would have zero point existing in a fighting game.

You've seen fighting games right? There's always a copy character...hence why I said cop out. ^^;

Aren't most copy characters along the lines of Sethor Double? Like they just take bits and pieces of moves form other character. Ditto can'y really do that since his transformations are locked into whats in front of him. Though I GUESS they could stretch it to work like that.

Not really from what I know. They tend to be exact copies. And/or randomize what movesets they use from everything on the roster.

Still. I really don't want Ditto.

[Fusion X. Denver]

Sceptile and the Hitmons seem like good options.

Can't believe the Hitmons aren't in already, to be honest.

[The Amazing Avian]

From that list, Pangoro or Bisharp would be cool. Mienshao would also be nice.

There's actually very rarely copy characters any more because most companies realize that people don't like them. Only series that continues to do them to my knowledge is the Soulcalibur/Soulblade and Tekken and even then look where that got them lmao

 

#TeamDruddigon tho, would be awesome to have him

[~British Soul~]

Shiftry could be interesting too.

I suppose I should say they're in the things I play mostly. XD

 

 

 

Also of the list I'd want...One of the Nidos, Wigglytuff, Muk, Flygon, Gliscor, Cofagrigus, Reuniclous, Galvantula, Eelektross, Hydreigon, Chesnaught, or Sylveon

Just cause these are the ones I'd think would be able to work but be interesting.

[Flame Dragon]

Looks like we have a winner. Serebii is saying Sceptile has made it in along with Electrode and Farfetch'd as assist.

[Lonk]

Hah!  Knew it would have been Sceptile!

[Shradow]

Electrode? I love it.

Electrode and Far as assist right?

But yeah Sceptile deserves this.

[Shradow]

Oh, assists, that makes much more sense. But damn, I thought it'd be really fun to have Electrode playable.

[~British Soul~]

Sceptile making it was a great choice.

 

Electrode and Farfetch'd as support pokemon are interesting choices.

[Flame Dragon]

Yes they are. I had meant to write that but it appears as if thinking words does not make them appear. Thanks for catching that.

[~British Soul~]

Also, whilst Serebii says that this is currently unconfirmed, I do believe that this is plausible enough to be real.

[King K. Azo]

Of COURSE another gen 3 starter made it. One that does not in anyway deserve it, especially over other pokemon that could be much more interesting.

 

I mean, come on!

 

(I really don't like gen 3, and especially don't like the starters.)

[Shradow]

Then, pray tell, who does deserve it? Because Sceptile has long been one of the more popular Pokemon in the series and a lot of people have been wanting him in both this and Smash Bros.

 

The thing with fighting games is that if one character gets in, it's not like they're taking the slot of another potential character (aside from things like how they wouldn't put in two Pokemon from the same evolutionary line). That's not how it works. The whole argument of roster slots in fighting games is basically false dichotomy. Sceptile getting in doesn't suggest the exclusion of anyone else.

 

In the end, whoever you think is more deserving, if they didn't get in it's not because a Pokemon like Sceptile of Pikachu Libre got in over them. At least, I highly doubt it. I'm pretty sure the developers didn't go in with the mindset, "Ok, because Sceptile is in, so-and-so can't be included."

Popularity does not equal a good character. Dan Hibiki is a popular character, but all he amounts to is a weak shotoclone. (I love Dan, btw, just his fighting style... It adds another shotoclone.) Golurk would have been more interesting choice and been a gen 5 pokemon, something the game is missing as a playable character. Scizor would have been great to have as well.

 

Character slots are quite so an argument to be had. Games have a finite amount of memory and hardware to use while companies have finite time and money to spend on delevopment. If a character didn't make it in, it very well could be because money and time was spent on characters like Sceptile and Pikachu Libre.

 

I will admit to your point that just because Sceptile is in does not mean others are out. Also, my post was filled with enough salt to fill the oceans. I shouldn't have said "does not deserve", I should have said "I believe gen 3 is overhyped and in my opinion, another pokemon should have made it in."

[Shradow]

Personally, Gen 3 is my least favorite, and Golurk is actually my favorite Pokemon and I would've loved it to be in, so I find it humorous that was one of your examples.

 

And obviously the game has a finite number of characters that can get in, I'm not arguing against that. I'm saying that someone's presence doesn't mean someone else got kicked out for it.

 

Plus, I'd hold back on saying he's a good or bad character until we actually see some gameplay of him.

SURPRISE!!!!

NEW MAIN CONFIRMED

[The Warden]

Holy sheet dat Frenzy Plant finisher.

[Fusion X. Denver]

Heh, good stuff. He looks really fun to play.

I'm pretty satisfied with this.

[~British Soul~]

That Frenzy Plant finisher looks really cool and Sceptile looks pretty fun to play too.
