Ridley will be in this game. As just some boss enemy. Not even special. That's my prediction.

I just like playing characters that punch really well, extra points if they move really fast too. Started with Pikachu (in 64, where it was hilariously broken), then moved to Captain Falcon, with some Wolf during his short-lived existence, and then the Mii Brawler. Oh, and Meta Knight during Brawl when I didn't really feel like playing and just felt like button-mashing a victory. In SSB4 I started getting into characters that aren't that fast but hit really hard though, like Bowser, Ganondorf and Ike.

The Kins posted:There was a non-zero amount of discussion about removing Roy and Marth from the international release of Melee, but Nintendo of America apparently argued that they were fun enough to keep. Probably a good call, considering how well those games have sold since... In a world where that was a no, Fire Emblem would now be a dead franchise because it was unjustly denied the chance to appeal to an international market. Nintendo would not have the gacha cash cow that is Fire Emblem Heroes. Ike wouldn't be playable in Smash. It's a really, really bad world. DLC Inc posted:When you think about it only Marth/Ike really feel similar because Robin/Corrin have a bunch of goofy poo poo that isn't "uppercut, counter" like the others. If anything, Shulk has more in common with Marth and Ike. But yeah I do not want any other Fire Emblem characters before combatants like an ARMS person, Travis Touchdown (who'd probably be like Shulk with a shitload of swords), etc etc Marth and Ike don't feel even remotely similar, what the gently caress?

RuBisCO posted:The biggest tragedy is that Fire Emblem has the potential for a ton of characters with more unique looks and playstyles but they instead went for Blue Haired Sword Lord a bunch. We may get Edelgard from Three Houses, that'd give us an axe lady. I definitely want something other than swords, but I understand that main lords get in and those tend to use swords. At least Robin brought in some magic.

With Metroid finally getting a third playable character, I do think Donkey Kong is next on the list of deserving a new character. For the franchise that birthed Nintendo's mascot, it has way too little representation in this ode to Nintendo's history. Whether this representation comes as Dixie, Cranky or Funky, I don't care, all three are very valid choices, but I do think at least one should get in. And most definitely not K. Rool.

Cipher Pol 9 posted:Are the results of the SSB4 Fighter Ballot available anywhere? My Googling is yielding no decent results and I can't YouTube at work. :/ Curious to see who the most requested characters were. They aren't, only Sakurai and his team know. The internet has already decided what those results must clearly be though, despite having no evidence whatsoever beyond their own closed-off communities that, of course, represent the world as a whole. The only thing we know is that Bayonetta was #1 in Europe and heavily voted everywhere else, didn't hit #1 worldwide but whatever was above her was completely impossible to add, so I'm going to say Goku.

Smoking Crow posted:I hope there aren't too more characters because it's really hard to balance all that. We'll have 100 char and 4 in top 8 like USF4 and KOF14 But that's been the case in every game, it's not like SSB64 was a wonder of balance and it had a whole 12 characters. I'm fine with only a couple more characters, and honestly I'd be a bit underwhelmed if this was it. Mostly because we have months between the game's release and now, not having any characters to show would be the most hype-killing thing short of a delay.

sharrrk posted:no more 3rd party characters. I'm fine with 3rd party characters so long as they have an actual connection with Nintendo. I dislike the idea of using characters that don't, and even as a big FF fan I still don't think Cloud was the right choice simply because FFVII is not a Nintendo game, even if he has appeared in Nintendo consoles thanks to spinoffs of both Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts. I'd also like more proper Nintendo representation though. Waluigi meme aside, there's a few important characters that could be added, like Bandana Waddle Dee, Marx, Dixie, Cranky, Funky, probably a million others from franchises that are completely or partly owned by Nintendo and that don't have enough representation or could add very fun new elements to the game, or hell, are just particularly lovable characters in general.

Orange Crush Rush posted:I guess Sakurai considers Cloud to be as close to the poster child of FF as you can get. I suppose there's Warrior of Light but that doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. I get that. Cloud is definitely FF's best known anime swordsman and the right choice from that angle, but I dunno, I would've preferred Warrior of Light considering his game was actually on NES while Cloud's will never leave Sony. Then again, that's just an opinion, and I'll admit I had to call my girlfriend when Cloud was announced because I needed to scream in sheer, absolute, unstoppable hype. Goddamn Mega Man and Cloud just were the best trailers. Now seriously, Waddle Dee. He's even your child, Sakurai, why do you not add him?

If so, sure, go ahead. You don't need to play online to enjoy it, though it's still fully recommended that you have people to play with because this is ultimately a fighting game and we don't know how good single-player may be (Wii U had a particularly weak single-player mode, and that's the newest game before this one).

I'd rank it higher if it wasn't physically painful to play. That said, points for Sakurai for such a terrible control scheme that it causes body pain yet still making the game so fun people play it anyways. I hope he gets to do an Uprising 2 once SSBU is out and he's farther from dying. The Switch may be the best place to make it both fun and harmless.

Kurtofan posted:You should start with only the base characters from the first game imo Honestly, on the one hand it'll be fun to get everyone, but on the other I kiiind of wanted to get together with friends day one to play this and of my group, I'm the only one who mains a SSB64 character (Captain Falcon), my other friends main Ike, Lucario, Bowser and WFT. Of those, the Ike guy is by far the most problematic, the others can utilize other characters (Bowser guy likes Mario, Lucario guy will use anything that can spam projectiles because he's a little bitch, WFT guy loves playing random anyways), the Ike guy for some reason refuses to touch anything else if given the chance, despite playing Sonic before who is basically the exact opposite. I hope having matches between friends quickly unlocks other characters, having everything unlock while I play would be a lot of fun, regardless of player-character compatibility problems.

RareAcumen posted:Why do people like Fountain of Dreams? I only remember it being a Battlefield clone with a huge wall below the stage. Graphically, it was by far the best stage in Melee. Gameplay-wise, it's nothing impressive, but that also makes it not terrible thus fun to play in, and the combination of both makes it a far better stage than several others, including stages that came back (Pac-Land, Mushroomy Kingdom...). It's genuinely confusing why this one didn't reappear, even moreso seeing how it's from the part of Kirby that Sakurai cares about.

The Bloop posted:Ken has always been a clone of ryu but over time has been diferentiated enough to be an echo fighter. Are we back to thinking he'd use up a "slot" or some poo poo? If he's differentiated himself, he wouldn't be an echo fighter, he'd be his own thing. See how even previously clones Pichu and Dr. Mario are not Echo Fighters. Echoes are literally clones with a cooler name, there's no differences whatsoever between Pit and Dark Pit other than colour and numbers, for example. Also, Lucina is yet another echo fighter, so we have three now. I'm guessing there may be more, and I don't mind their existence, I'm confused about people wanting more instead of wanting characters that are actually different.

The only characters I really want are Waddle Dee, Simon Belmont, and a new DK rep (Cranky, Funky, Dixie, all would be fine). I'll accept anyone, and I admit, I kind of want Jack Frost after the idea of a Persona character (or, more accurately here, a SMT character) came up, but I fully realize that's a long shot and most likely not happening, sad hee-ho. Simon basically feels like he has to be in now, which is good because Castlevania deserves representation with how influential it's been and because it has some history with Nintendo. Waddle Dee is just a long-standing dream that refuses to die, but of which I have no real hopes will come true because Sakurai refuses to use any Kirby that isn't his own, and Bandanna is very much a modern Kirby guy, even if he's the best guy. I'd accept Marx too though, and that's a Super Star character! But c'mon, no more DK characters is silly. THE Nintendo franchise is a spinoff of Donkey Kong! You'd think it'd get more love. There's so much to capitalize on there, yet it keeps getting ignored. It's sad.
