Tbh, does Pikmin warrant an all new second rep?

Like, we all thought Isabelle would be an echo just blindly ignoring that AC deserved a second rep easily.

Does Pikmin 3 have enough new mechanics to warrant one?

Literally all I want is an echo with Rock Pikmin involved, I do not care who it is or who the alts are please Sakurai BE KIND TO THE LITTLE ROCKS WITH GOOGLY EYES

Though yes it would be ideal if all of the captains from 1, 2, and 3 were all there at least as alts

Gladions theme getting in technically means the first appearance of a Mystery Dungeon song in Smash!

Is his theme a remix of some PMD song?

Didn't Sakurai say that he is just letting composers decide which songs they want to remix? It's not really up to him.

It's naive to think Sakurai doesn't have some level of control over the music selection in order to assure that each series has at least one remix (with the exceptions of like, ROB, G&W, and maybe some third parties). When even Duck Hunt is getting a remix, I'm pretty confident every series aside from the few exceptions mentioned will have a remix. Kid Icarus is 100% getting some new remixes.

I think they promoted Masozi because the most effective way to destroy us is from the inside.

I'm sorry but you can't come to the sleepover then, Rule Number 2 clearly states that only people who believe in Elma, Wonder Red, and Chibi Robo can come to the sleepover. However you can join me at my public birthday party at Chuck E Cheese, unless you break Rule Number 3 which states that you must ride the hype train
I'm not on the hype train :(

1.) Add in Louie/Brittany as an Echo that uses weaker-but-shield-breaking Rock Pikmin like what was planned for Alph.

2.) Plasm Wraith as a new Villain character

latest

Basically, it would play up the Plasm Wraith's shapeshifting & elemental powers from the boss fight in Pikmin 3, as well as it's gimmick of losing parts of its body/shrinking every time it's hit (So it'd start each match Ridley-sized, strong, but slow, & eventually shrink to Olimar-sized, weak, but fast).

I don't know, it makes sense to me. That avatar says "leader".

Pikmin is one of my favorite series period but I would be a hypocrite if I said yes considering my thoughts on Zelda characters. Olimar and the Pikmin is all you really need. The other cool part of Pikmin is the enemies, and they aren't suited for fighters.

I mean Isabelle is literally one of the biggest faces of Nintendo now, she's more of a special exception.

None of the additional Pikmin characters really have anything going for them in terms of popularity or moveset potential. They could potentially work as echo fighters of Olimar, but considering Alph is still stuck as an alt costume, that isn't going to happen.

If there was an Olimar echo it should be Brittany as the face and Louie as the alternate imo

Well that's ok, you can still have one of the birthday cupcakes I'm bringing to school tomorrow, as long as you don't break Rule Number 4, which states that your favorite assist trophy must be either Sukapon, Chef Kawasaki, or Arcade Bunny, in which case you could tattle on me to the teacher for breaking Rule Number 5, which states that if you brought a snack you have to have enough for the whole class and then I have to give you a cupcake

While we're talking about music, I think the most interesting (good) thing that could come out of the weekly updates is if they show a new remix of a series that seemingly wouldn't get one. Final Fantasy, Bayonetta, Mr. Game & Watch, Ice Climber and ROB all come to mind.

Masozi is a moderator already? How does one even become a mod?

By killing & wearing the skin of another mod. Brock was Secret Admin & wasn't quite dead when she took his skin, hence the compromise.

EDIT:

you have to kill the previous mod in a ceremonial trial

Huh. Wasn't expecting to be beaten to a joke like that.

Yeah, I'd prefer this.

I'm all for this as well, since I like Brittany more. That said, if Louie's the face, that means we're more likely to get Louie's Notes on how to cook & serve each fighter, & ever since that idea got thrown out, I've been morbidly curious.

Also, why do I get so much smut when I Google Pikmin characters? I have Safe Search on for a reason; what if my dog sees that?

But my favorite assist trophy is Shadow! Plus, I brought pizza but only one slice!

Is Happy Home Designer actually worth buying?
It depends purely how much you like making home designs for the sake of making them

The game is extremely free form and the only thing it looks for in your designs are "did you hit the item limit", "can you enter the room," and "did you put in their required items." Of which there are at most 3. Otherwise you can go nuts and the animals will love whatever you do.

I got a lot out of it because making houses based on their theme is fun, but if lack of, uh, game-y elements is a turn off I'd suggest staying away.

Brittany was my favorite Pikmin 3 character, and I'd always play as her whenever I could. She'd be really neat as an Olimar echo! Louie I mostly want to have playable in some capacity because he's just such a jerk, to the point where it's kind of hilarious.

I'm not sure. It doesn't quite sound like an FD version. It sounds too close to the original. However, here's yet another version of the main theme that's different from E3 one. In fact, this might be the first half of the song in that special edition trailer:


I think that's still the Battlefield rendition

Oh geez, this is getting messy. Luckily Rule Number 6 states that in case we have a cupcake/snack conundrum, you can come over to my house and play on the swing set as long as you agree that tripping was a bad mechanic, but be careful about Rule Number 7 which states that the sandbox is off limits to anyone but hardcore Ridley fans. Unless you have a > 2 year old forum post in favor of Ridley joining Smash you can't play in the sandbox. Sorry rules are rules, but eventually we'll be able to follow the rules and have a good party

When Paper Mario finally got a remix in smash, the series was 14 years old and had 4 games.

As of this year the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series is 13 years old and has 4 games. I think it's time for Sakurai to give us those sweet PMD tunes.

I can't wait to see Incineroar's running animation

yyQ2NMM.gif


He actually looks crippled here with those tiny legs
Y'know I was thinking that since K Rool also runs on 4 legs I was thinking Incineroar's wouldn't be that bad but that animation is so clumsy. It doesn't even looks like he's putting an effort to run it's just weird. If he runs on his fours I imagine it would be similar to K Rool.

Same here! I liked the idea of her being a botanist that really wasn't there to explore much, but she's suggested to be the most competent explorer because she's the only one that can manage rations.

I did the same for Louie in 2, though. And I love that the dude just straight-up leaves the Pikmin 3 crew for dead & also steals their food after they rescue him. Having him tied up & floating around the SS Drake for the last chunk of the game always managed to make me crack a smile.

Reasons why the Elma reveal would be great:
-Confirms the music theory
-Kills the box theory
-Gives the finishing blow to the Smash Ballot

okay. I know you have a hate boner for the Smash fanbase and all of their most-wanted characters, but still.

I'm not sure if it would kill the Ballot. If anything Isabelle and the Box Theory kind of showed us how the Ballot probably might not have been as influential as we thought. What with Incineroar, Elma, and a SE rep being the more likely batch of newcomers. Unless Sora was added in as a Ballot request because it seemed like he did well on it but it seems likely it would be Dragon Quest for SE.

I have no idea how Smash Ballot works out into the equation, given how she could have gotten the question misfire boost, but Elma definitely isn't inconsistent with box theory as I understand it; she's inconsistent with its mainstream, Vergeben-filtered interpretation, but that's it.

I'm very eager to see if Isabelle was upgraded at some point in development. We've already has multiple instances of characters getting upgraded over Smash's history and converting Echo Fighters into Semi clone newcomers seems pretty likely all things considered.
