why are you hating on the awesome and popular Tingle

View attachment 6651
Because "popular and awesome" in Japan doesn't mean the same as "popular and awesome" here.

Not to say that "popular and awesome" here is anything to get excited about, but I'd rather watch Bayformers than play a strangely homoerotic Tingle game.

EW I just remembered Megan Fox's gross sticky-looking body, so, uh, just throw in some other stereotypical American thing. I'm sure you folks can think of something.

Tingle is a much better option than about 3/4 of the Zelda recommendations I've heard.
In fact the only better option is Tetra probably.

I may want to borrow some of those ideas for when the Pac-Man design video is put out, with your permission of course. :p

Also, before I forget as I'm literally caught up in Kill La Kill right now, here's Robin's moveset:
Nice Moveset. Axle Approves of you watching Kill La Kill.

because "not popular and awesome" in America doesn't mean the same as "popular and awesome" every where else

nothing is as bad as Bayformers don't even joke like that :drflip:

I want Pac-Man's Final Smash to rip off Lui Kangs fatality. It is all I got for Pac-Man. Unless he was a costume for Sonic, of course. :awesome:

Tattoo Assasins has better fatilities

Tingle and Vaati are the best Zelda characters left IMO.
Shouldn't Tetra be considered less likely than Vaati?
Tetra appeared twice (not counting WWHD, and a mention in Spirit Tracks.)
While Vaati appeared 3 times (not counting FS Anniversary Edition).

Plus Tetra is technically Zelda, while Vaati is a whole new entity to the franchise.

No matter what, for now, this is still my ideal roster that I'm very happy with:

Big Boss instead of Solid Snake? 10/10.

I don't want to start any Fire Emblem debates, but I highly doubt Robin. If he is ideal for you, more power to you.

Tetra seems unlikely as he was going to add Toon Zelda with Toon Sheik (as opposed to Tetra). However, it seems like a rational choice. Perhaps that is the most suitable way to add another Zelda on to the roster. I mean 3 Zelda is better than 4 Zelda (for diversity's sake).

Other than that, it seems like a really coherent roster. I mean no one can truly agree on which is the most adequate Fire Emblem rep, so I can't complain there. Tetra has some of Sakurai's implied intent going for her. So the negatives (imo) are negligible.

She's somewhat important, but not on the scale Vaati is on.
...What? Not on the scale of Vaati? If you mean Vaati isn't nearly as important then yeah.

No matter if Vaati appeared in that one flop of a game that happened to not be made by Capcom, the character himself was still made by Capcom. This is a bad case of Waluigi syndrome, Miyamoto didn't make the character so he'll never end up important or in any of the big main series games. So like Waluigi, the best he could get is assist trophy, if even that.

This isn't personal bias, this is Miyamoto's bias. Hell, this is pretty much the reason the Kremlings have all but died off. Regardless of the fact that Sakurai makes Smash, he won't pick low profile characters that aren't born pure Nintendo.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I have a feeling Isaac will probably become an assist trophy again like in Brawl and that no Golden Sun character will be on the roster.

That's a myth. Miyamoto has no problem with Rare's Donkey Kong Country.

I'd be a badass and give a link, but I don't have one. Just look it up.

I didn't know this, in that case; I suppose Tingle is the Legend of Zelda representative that I find most undoubtedly feasible. Capcom made Vaati, why I never!

The only Apex stream I'm able to watch is the SSF2 stream... in low quality.

I don't really like streaming stuff like Apex, I will just wait and watch a recorded version as I am not tolerable to low quality... or time based events. Rather watch it on my own time, youknowwhatiamsaying?

I tried doing that with EVO but it was the actual stream that was recorded so the YouTube video showed all the buffering as well.

Chrom, but not because I find him interesting, but because I find him more likely overall.
This is also precisely how I feel. I mean, it just seems entirely obvious to me that Chrom is going to be the most likely candidate. I am not even sure why some people are deluding themselves into thinking that it will be Robin. I mean, sure, Robin would be more interesting, but I don't necessarily see how that correlates to his overall likelihood. I see the association between the more broad move-set potential and how that would be great for Sakurai to develop a unique move-set. That is about it though, it doesn't mean he will pick the candidate with the more ideal potential. He is going to pick the main character and make it work, or stick with our boy, Roy. IMO.
