I really don't get these character updates. Those 20 secs character videos are up since the E3 direct.
I hate Empoleon. I hate most steel types but Empoleon is all my least favorite things combined into a Pokemon.
He's obsessed with an anime targeted at young girls, fucking flips out at the possibility of missing his chance to get in line for hot new anime merchandise, wears anime T-shirts everywhere he goes, and his Japanese voice actor voices him as a loud, brash, obnoxious American that happens to be fluent in Japanese. The weirdest he gets is with an admiration of Mamori (an elementary schooler), though it's in no way lecherous and is more idol worship. (If anyone suggested anything lecherous about her, he'd honestly be the first person to both defend Mamori and probably punch whoever made the comment in the face.)
The guy is an overt fucking otaku dipshit, but he means well.
They really should have made them private to at least give the audience something to expect.
You'll probably be able to attack him from behind at certain points in the match, such as right after dodging his Tatsumaki.
One of the party members in the game is half white/half Japanese, which is referred to as "hafu" in Japanese and the localizers translated that as "biracial." It comes across really awkwardly in English.
If Smash was making its debut this year, who'd ya'll have for your original 8 and secret 4?

Luigi
Fox
Wario

I feel like Yoshi got into 64 more for filling a quota than anything else
1) This is reliant entirely on assuming Sakurai is so bitter about not being the head of the Kirby series, & refusing to add a popular character for that reason alone.
2) This is the same as Point 1.
3) See Point 2.
4) As much as I'd love Bonkers & Bugzzy, none of those characters are more popular than Bandana Dee. And most of them are a bit of a stretch. I definitely think you're overselling Blade Knight & Paint Roller's chances.
I'm debating whether or not Marth would get in.
Because FE is huge now, but it's only huge in part because of Smash...
FE is huge because of Awakening. FE had very middling sales in the decade after Marth appeared in Smash.
Would FE Awakening exist if Smash was a new IP?
Would FE have ever come out in the West if Marth and Roy hadn't been in Melee? We don't know.
I just texted Hannibal that you used this to dis Torterra and he was pissed
I'm gonna assume you mean original 8? Smash 64 had 12 total, including the hidden 4.
1. Mario
2. Link
3. Pikachu
4. Donkey Kong
5. Kirby
6. Villager
7. Inkling
8. Marth
Hidden:
9. Samus
10. Olimar
11. Bowser
12. Zelda
I think Luigi is more likely to be in the game than Bowser. Not only is his skeleton extremely similar to Mario, he has been only skipped two of the mainline Mario games.
Mario
Link
Samus
Kirby
Donkey Kong
Pikachu
Inkling
Villager
Fox
Olimar
Shulk
Marth
Secret
Pit
Mr. Game and Watch
Ness
Captain Falcon
Focusing on representing a wide variety of series. Peach, Bowser, and Wario didn't make the cut because I wanted to represent more series.
The secrets are all semi-deep cut retro characters.
I cut Yoshi for Olimar because I'm rude and don't like the Yoshi's Island games.
I think it'd be:
- Mario
- Link
- Pikachu
- Kirby
- Donkey Kong
- Miis (in some form)
- Villager
- Inkling
- Samus
- Olimar
- FE Character (not sure if it'd be Marth or someone new)
- Sonic
Similarly, Captain Falcon is the face of Smash Bros., but he certainly wouldn't get in in the first 12 nowadays without that history.
Yep. Marth and Roy certainly helped Nintendo consider localizing the series, but that entire era of sales was a decline. And Shadow Dragon bombed so hard it almost killed the series in the west.
Mario, Kirby, Link, Samus, Pikachu, DK, Villager, Pikachu, Inkling, Sonic, Pac-Man, Pokemon Trainer, Bowser.
Secret:
Fox, Olimar, Marth, Wario.
Everyone not having Cpt Falcon in the starting roster make me sad. The greatest completely made up moveset and over the top cornyness.
I hate Goku. I hate most anime types but Goku is all my least favourite things combined into a character.
It's still incredible to me that Shozou Kaga Fire Emblem only has one rep while Awakening alone has three. You would think the creator of the series would have some clout in these decisions, but I guess there's too much ill will between him and Nintendo for that to happen.
That was a margin call. But for deep cut Smash 64 original 12 characters I had to pick Ness.
If smash was invented today Captain Falcon would be a no-one TBH
Could say the same about Ness, but this is a personal list right?
1: Mario
2: Link
3: Pikachu
4: Kirby
5: Donkey Kong
6: Samus
7: Villager
8: Inkling
Secret 4
9: Luigi
10: Charizard
11: Marth
12: Mr. Game & Watch
That's fair that's also the reason I think he might be in. I just think the chair theory is far fetched but I mean I am a Ridley fan who gave into the Shadow theory last game out of desperation so that might be why I refuse to believe the chair theory now.
Mewtwo was the villain of the first Pokémon movie and the final final boss of the first game. Saying Incineroar is more of a villain for Pokémon than Mewtwo is the real stretch.
Besides I think people really are taking this "villain" theme thing and running with it. I'm not convinced this is what the roster is being weighed on.
Oh, geez. Given just the known circumstances of his departure from Intelligent Systems, it seems Kaga burned every bridge he could set a match on before he left. He wasn't even mentioned in a book on the history of the series released for FE's 25th anniversary.
He's persona non grata as far as Nintendo is concerned.
True, but if I had to live in a world without Earthbound or F-Zero, I've got to say I'd pick a world without F-Zero.
If I had to pick a character that best represents Smash Brothers id probably pick Captain Falcon.
Well, EB > most games.
Base roster:
- Mario
- DK
- Yoshi
- Link
- Pikachu
- Kirby
- Samus
- Inkling
- Fox
- Spring Man
- Marth
- Olimar
Secrets:
- Villager
- Duck Hunt
- Lucario
- Zelda
That's a really good point, who knows where the FE franchise would have ended up without Smash
