I'm surprised someone hasn't made a "Super Smash Bros. Character Select Screen Generator" yet.

Smash games tend not to cut corners with models short of trophies, which I respect a lot--Brawl and Melee both resulted in the first time some of the original 151 got a new model since Pokemon Stadium.

They reuse assets when viable, it's just not often viable since very few games would have applicable models. According to TCRF, there's a few 'import leftovers' from Brawl that clue you in on it, including the Pokemon lifted from Battle Revolution, pretty much every single Zelda thing except Toon Link (this includes both stages), and of course most trophies.

gently caress Lucas. Whenever my friends get together and we play Brawl he's the one character who consistently smacks my rear end down. I hope he's cut out of spite. :colbert:

I only have one friend better than me, and he plays Pikachu and I cry irl everytime. I hate that Pikachu will never go away.

Doesnt matter, he can beat all of us with almost anyone, including Yoshi :negative:

E: Now that Waluigi is a no-go, my dream choice would be King K. Rool. That would be so kickass.

Do you think they'll still have that minigame where you have five seconds to beat up the sandbag and then homerun-bat it as far as possible? That was genuinely tricky and I remember trying real hard to figure out the right character for the soften-up part.

Probably, it was in the last two games.


One thing I really want them to bring back are the personalized Break the Target stages. Brawl was terrible in that regard.

The main reason MvC2 had so many characters was because there were a lot of characters from past fighting games and Capcom could reuse sprites. You'll notice that the number went down when MvC3 went with 3D models.

Capcom used the same Morrigan sprites for roughly ten years! :eng101:

The real challenge was doing HRC in co-op in Brawl. I remember when the daily replays were ongoing they sent some insanely coordinated combo videos out.

Seeing people's hypothetical rosters speaks volumes about the games they have and haven't played.

For instance, from all of the above rosters I can tell that none of the people that made them played through Kid Icarus: Uprising or Fire Emblem: Awakening. :negative:

Well, yeah, but I know Nintendo isn't going to add the characters I want from those games. Hell, Goku is actually probably more likely then anyone from FE:A other then Chrom and maybe Lucina.

That said, I'd totally play a Super Emblem Bros. game.

If Lucina got in, she'd probably be like Wireframe Little Mac, a special alt costume for Marth since that's what she spends the first third of the game disguised as.
As for Super Emblem Bros, we still have Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem on the horizon! :getin:

I want a 2D fighter but exclusively for JRPGs, both old and modern.

If I had to narrow it down further, Final Fantasy x Tales of The World would be ideal.

I will be mad if Lifeless Yellow Orb makes it into the game and never use him out of spite.

"Oh that yellow thing on the character select screen? I dunno disc must be scratched or something, ignore it."

If Namco really wants someone in the game they could throw in someone from Tekken or Soul Calibur; that would be cool.

Harada has already said Tekken characters aren't a good fit and Project Soul isn't interested. Too bad Katamari has never been on a Nintendo system.

I just don't know what fighting moves you give to a character that usually does not have arms or legs in the majority of his resume.

Mr Driller, however, he's got arms and legs, he's got his drill, he's got his oxygen tank. Maybe he can wail on people with the oxygen tank.

Pac-Man can work in Smash because he fits. As in, he's not too large.

Someone's never played Pac Man 2: The New Adventures. He already has a Final Smash baked into his character.

Pacman has had arms and legs in his official art since the original arcade game. Its kind of ridiculous at this point.



Plus he's starred in more 3D games than 2D and has starred in multiple cartoons with limbs including one currently airing.

This argument is so dumb. Pacman has limbs and has for 34 years at this point.

Wow I'm surprised people are so anti-Pac-man. He's got plenty of moveset potential from his 3D platformer games, and he's one of the most iconic video game characters ever. I think he'd work great in Smash.

I really don't get the Pac backlash.

He's the Mario/Sonic/MegaMan of Namco. He's their iconic mascot.

Not just that, he's easily one the most famous arcade characters ever. It's a huge chapter in the history of not just games on Nintendo systems but games as a whole. And Pac-Man games are fun. And Namco is making Smash.

But if you consider the "I never understand people who play videogames who aren't me" mentality, maybe the Pac hate makes perfect sense.

Yes, because Captain Falcon had such a fleshed out personality before Smash 64.

Does Yoshi have a personality even now? Do the various Pokemon? ROB? Mr. Game and Watch? Ice Climbers?
