You're thinking of Baby Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong Jr is his son, and the other 7 Kongs are Donkey Kong's Konglings

it just seems like a really obvious way to differentiate them, whereas lucina simply NOT having a sword gimmick means that either her or marth are going to end up in the dumpster and never get used (probably marth because he's lame and lucina has a sick mask) unless they do something goofy like marth does way more damage

Lucina getting used and Marth getting dumped doesn't sound like a problem to me. :colbert:

Lucina apparently plays more like Melee and Brawl Marth where Marth has become his own (possibly bad?) thing.

v Marth is a lot slower now than he has ever been before, apparently he got nerfed.

It's probably a safe bet that Lucina's whole sword doesn't do as much damage as Marth's tips. Her whole idea seems to be beginner Marth so that you can get used to the moveset (you know the one that's been in three Smash games so far) and then graduate to tipping.

Well, the problem with that is, Lucina is cooler than Marth.

Lucina is literally a Marth cosplayer but is somehow more interesting than Marth is.

Marth is pretty boring.

I keep hearing people refer to him as the best smash player ever but he seems to get owned a lot in tourneys so I have no idea where he stands in the fabled smash bros chain.

All I know is dude whines like a newborn baby, he's the only person I've seen be even slightly negative.

Nobody who knows what they're talking about would say that. Mango is the undisputed best smash player, and M2K probably comes in around 4th these days (behind Hungrybox and Armada.)

If you're streaming demos from M2K, Zero, and random other people you should probably either turn the volume off or expect to hear the nerdiest people ever speculating wildly about smash. Zero is extremely positive and I still can't really listen to him.

The lack of a Conductor alt for Toon Link has been bothering me, since he has it in the background of Spirit Tracks, so I kinda want the leak to be real. Guess we'll see in two hours.

Robin's red female alt seems like it's the same color scheme as Anna. Hard to tell though. It would make sense in context.

I could be wrong but I think I remember the Spirit Tracks Link model being much lower quality than Toon Link's playable model, so that would be why

Right now Mango's the best at Melee, but M2K is the best across all Smash Bros games.

the weird thing about "leaks" is that it seems so many of them include Impa but like was Impa really that popular before hyrule warriors? and hyrule warriors seems too soon for that version of Impa to be in.

I think part of it is the Ridley thing of 'we want another Zelda character and Ghirahim is deconfirmed.'

I mean, besides Impa, who could it be? No one cares about Vaati.
