Roster Prediction Discussion Thread

Just throwing this out here....
Couldn't Wii Fit Trainer be a historical representation of Nintendo's approach towards the new market? Thus, she fills the spot of "Obligatory" Historical Character?

 

[Reznor]

Lol..... all mario does is punch and kick for his attacks. I don't see you complaining about that.

marth has a ton of combo potential, that ain't boring.

Mario has Fireballs,Cape,Fludd while Marth has a sword
combo potential doesn't make a character not boring

 

[TheLastJinjo]

I'd rather hear from someone else. I already knew what your response was

Come on! It's MONTY BURNS!!!

 

[kingmario92]

Not this bad. Really it's just mild internet drama to me. The only thing I though was uncalled for was any insults flung towards at other users. Other than that, no big deal.

Like I suggested before, how about we talk some Mach Rider or Exictebiker? Are they're any other vehicle characters you guys could suggest?

Wasn't Excitebiker suggested by Sakurai at one point during Melee's development? Or am I just crazy?

 

[TumblrFamous]

You go for one little walk and then it's hell-raiser up in here... whatever.

Little Mac? Yeah, I'm okay with this topic. How do you all think they would implement his "stars" if he's included?

Because nobody but women use Wii Fit.

He was suggested. Then Ice Climbers happened.

Excuse me, but I certainly used to and do on occaision nowadays.

@Barlino?

Hey kid, this is what you sound like:

Spoiler

What the **** did you just ****ing say about me, you little *****? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the **** out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my ****ing words. You think you can get away with saying that **** to me over the Internet? Think again, ****er. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re ****ing dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable *** off the face of the continent, you little ****. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your ****ing tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will **** fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re ****ing dead, kiddo.

Next time you make a threat, how about you do it like a man.

I'd like to see you come get me, just as an fyi, I'm a 2nd degree Blackbelt, and have trained Muay Thai for 3 years, so I'll gladly take your challenge.

What have you got to show?

Don't mess with the mayor?

Here you go, I'll do a quickie.

B: Stun Punch
Little Mac stuns the opponent for a short moment, preparing for a slew of combos.

Side B: Bull Rush
Mac uses his old foe Bald Bull's signature move. Mac charges by kicking his leg back, and runs forward to land three strong punches.

Up B: Star Uppercut
No explanation needed.

Down B: Counter Punch
Little Mac slides backwards and runs back to uppercut the opponent quickly. If this is performed in order to avoid an attack, Mac earns a star.

Final Smash: Giga Mac
Yeah you pretty much know this one.

I like it, although I don't think Mac using the Bull Rush is overly necessary. If anything, the down B could be made into the side B and the new Down B could be a means to counter projectile attacks since Little Mac will need coverage on the offensive. But that's my two cents.

 

[?????????????]

So Little Mac would copy Marth, but not have a sword? Sounds horrible.

Not exactly. Without a sword, Mac has little to no range, plus he's short. Little Mac absolutely must rely on dodging, countering, and striking when it's right.

His small size helps him in dodging, and his fighting style and movement can be both faster AND more powerful than Marth's. His game is quick but risky; fast and powerful, but Mac himself can't take a lot of hits. His game is all about taking the opponent out swiftly and smartly, using a good fighter with wits.

...That's how I see it anyway.

A sword doesn't make a character boring

and yes it does, if you got combos, your not boring.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I think he was trolling you bro.

Trolling or not, a death threat is a serious thing.

 

[Will]

You're saying boring people just tap A on the controller and it's boring?

 

[Knight Dude]

Ok, If you had to pick any Namco character other than the obvious Pac-Man choice, who would you pick? You can ignore any of Sakurai's previous rules if you feel the need to. I think I would pick Jin Kazama or Yoshimitsu from Tekken. Siegfried/Nightmare from Soul Calibur would be a close second to me. Klonoa wouldn't be too bad of a choice either.

 

[XStarWarriorX]

That happens alot around 4 chan, youtube, sewers like that. He's not gonna carry on with it.

Just some troll overdoing it to get a response.

 

[Reznor]

he only has a sword and just does normal swings so that's what I find boring
Ike is a sword guy done right he has some interesting attacks

explain how having a combo is not boring

Not if you're haggar.

Nightmare from Soul Calibur is easily my choice

I'd go with Lloyd Irving, or some other Tales protagonist.

 

[Mega Bidoof]

I've ignored him.

Peace.

That's friggin nice.
You have an impression of someone after one day, and you ignore them.
And you don't just ignore SaturnGamer. Wouldn't you want to see what he says so you can make counter-arguments, which is the whole point of this thread?

Your getting off to a great start here.

I suppose you are about to ignore me for posting this.
Don't.
I actually post something funny and/or serious every now and then, like the act that Krystal's shadow looks like a break-dancing Professor E. Gadd.

See the resemblance?

We'll have to see till after release to see if we get any "historical" character, until then, I still disagree that that she's one of the historical characters.

 

[?????????????]

Can YOU do a combo that quickly in real life?

 

[Knight Dude]

Wasn't Excitebiker suggested by Sakurai at one point during Melee's development? Or am I just crazy?

I think so. But he wasn't entirely sure how to implement him properly with his bike. This is why the Ice Climbers were chosen over him. Since they had an interesting playstyle and were easier to develop a moveset for.

A three way tie between yoshimitsu Nightmare and Valkyrie.

 

[_fiercedeity]

Im not too familiar with Punch-out, so how would you distinguish Mac's specials from his regular punches?

 

[Gunla]

Hmmm....
If an actual Historical Represenative comes out, I'll take your point.
If not, WFT seems to be the Historical Rep.
Sounds Peachy?

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Because nobody but women use Wii Fit.

Yeah...I guess you'd have to be a women to like Wii Fit...

To be honest....it looks more like a pole-dancing E. Gadd to me.

 

[XStarWarriorX]

I see what your doing.

people who camp and air dodge the whole time and ledge stall. that's boring. the characters themselves aren't boring, its the people who play them that make them boring.

 

[TumblrFamous]

You two are both my friends, so I mean...

Then what the hell am I?!?!

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

Well GameFAQS is full of ignorant Daisy supporters and Ridley detractors.
IGN I have nothing bad to say about, really.

Um, no. They don't support Daisy, they support DIHSO.

That's friggin nice.

Pit can easily be boring if someone just holds down his Side B the whole fight.

Yoshimitsu or Nightmare would be my choices as well.

Yeah, he was considered.
But "you'd have to install ramps on all the levels for him to be playable."

 

[andimidna]

How to end an argument and start a new one:

Spoiler

Impa is an awful choice

Spoiler

JK Impa is the best choice

Spoiler

Ghirahim for Smash, he should replace Ganondorf

Spoiler

Ridley is too big

Spoiler

Cranky Kong>King K Rool

Spoiler

Little Mac is too little

 

[Depressed Gengar]

Wait. What about death threats?

 

[Will]

can I pick the space ship from Galaga

Now that's retro.
