Roster Prediction Discussion Thread

Hey! ridley is TOO BIG!

 

[Knight Dude]

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

One would imagine the same way you do with Captain Falcon and Ganon. Just give Mac some unique special effects to add on his animations. I know not everyone agrees with this, but I kind of like the idea of Mac using a few of the other Boxer's attacks. Nothing too crazy, but Piston Honda's combo punches would be kind of cool to see.

When Mac does his more powerful punches, stars appear...like the opponent sees stars. His counter-punches have the ability to stun, but the most identifying feature of his special moves is the classic NES sound effects they make.

 

[Reznor]

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

we gotta call Tumble quick Smash isn't wheelchair accessible ............ they won't come for just that ............ it's not FEMALE wheelchair accessible

 

[TheLastJinjo]

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

*ahem*

Personally I think Tabuu has a good cha-

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I swear, every time I think this thread has hit it's worst day, I get proven wrong the following week.

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.

I'd go with Dig-Dug.

Dig-Dug, aside from the fact I love his game, I'd love to hear this in Smash 4.

 

[Will]

Oh yeah,Mr.Krabs

The laughter.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Wait. What about death threats?

Let me guess, they're directed towards me. I'm just so popular here aren't I?

 

[deebeethedeity]

Am I the only one who finds little macs design to be unappealing, generic and boring. Thats why I dont want him not his moveset

 

[Hotfeet444]

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

Well, that's simple. His normals are not based around countering, and he will use different styles of punches. Crouching double hooks (ALA Morrigan Aensland) two left jabs then a right for a standard attack. Uppercut punches, solar-plexus shots, and more will make up his others. His forward smash is the star punch that will grow in power depending on how many stars you have, and getting KOd resets your star gauge. For a couple of other moves, he can use moves that reference other boxers from Punch-Out.

 

[XStarWarriorX]

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

You have something against swords then.

Marth can easily achieve the same amount of knockback ike does with a tipper. If you sword fought like Ike you'd be dead. Just cause marth doesn't have FIRE or any extra flashy animations to his sword strikes doesn't mean that he's boring. you just wanna keep this going, well I don't want too.

this is a combo, not boring.

It's a backroom party!

I guess death threats to one of our members makes us antsy

Nope. Manly received one.

You know what, I agree.

Okay. Improve on the design of a 17 year old boxer.

I got something better:

 

[Knight Dude]

Also like @ ????????????? said, making him use a lot of stun attacks would help him stand out more, not too many stunning attacks. Since Namco is helping out, I would like to see some Steve Fox technology in his moveset.

 

[HylianHeroBigBoss]

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

I don't think we should look at it in terms of certain moves for him, but more of an overall gimmick that sets him apart. Sakurai and his team could make him fantastic if they handled him well. I said this in the past but I think making him truly unique isn't as hard as some like to think it would be.

I've stated this possibility way back, but I think for Mac, his gimmick could be making him the most evasive character in the game. His star system could be implemented like so: he will be fast and weak normally, but having most of his specials as defensive build up for his offense could be great. So in essence by using the evassive specials he can build up those stars. With each one he gets closer and closer to his devastating offensive explosion. But he can also lose that build up easily as well, by taking a hit or something else. High risk and high reward, and in the hands of a skilled player he could deal blows like Ike with the speed of fox. Like warios waft it will be sonething the player is managing on their own during the fight, but to a higher degree. It's more than just flash moves for the sake of it, Mac could have some deep substance, you just have to see beyond his meager appearance.

Tabuu for OP . I'd like Tabuu to be added, but there's nothing to support it. I saw some hacks to put it in Brawl and it was pretty epic. Maybe he should stay a hack though.

 

[Reznor]

wait Dig Dug is Namco
I change my vote

I just noticed you added King Boo to your roster. Explain.

Look who started it now..

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

She just seems too recent of a franchise to be considered one of them. The historical characters we got were usually characters from long ago.

 

[Will]

Blocky Diamond Arwings.

 

[Hotfeet444]

Eh, it's just my signature of who I overly support, he's not really on my roster. I support alot of characters who overall have a poor chance but I think would be fun to play as if given the chance.

maybe Sakurai ran out of retros he liked

Marth's not boring? Marth's one of the most boring characters in the game.
Either that, or fencing just doesn't appeal to me.

It isn't fencing. That's a cutlass. Not a Falchion.

 

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

I had an idea once for implementing King Boo, as far as jumping and recovery goes.

Instead of jumping, holding the joystick up allows King Boo to levitate upward. Instead of having two jumps, he can levitate for a set amount of time, which is indicated by King Boo's size; as he levitates, he shrinks, regrowing when he touches the ground.

Most iconic appearance.

Most iconic weapon.
Put the two together and you're golden.

Hell no, I don't want to be associated with that overrated furry bait.

I realized that in the middle of all this.

Thanks for the post count increase

 

[MagnesD3]

B: Power punch - hold till a star pops up to store the punch, great knockback and power, star punch is extremely strong.

B over: Rush punch - see balrog

B Up: Uppercut: see shoryuken

B Dowon: dodge/sway punch: see dudley

hes not appealing to me either but he can do some cool stuff

Well which market are you trying to go for? Americans? the Japanese? People from the 90's? Hollywood?

For American audiences, you need to make him really buff and bald. Also angry, people love that stuff in the States. Japan really likes it when young men look like might be women, so lose the muscle and give him a small nose. Slap on a metro hairstyle and you're gold! If it's the 90's crowd, give him a backwards cap and some ripped jeans, that'll win them over. Or make him into a Cyborg, everyone loves Cyborgs. /sarcasm

I dunno, make his face more realistic? Give him his NES hairstyle?

He can use his Down B to make a spike ball fall from above his crown to fall on his enemies (via Dark Moon)

 

[Chandeelure]

Because nobody but women use Wii Fit.

My muscles didn't appear out of nowhere

 

[Bowserlick]

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?

B would be Star Punch. It would tack on a star. Boxing gloves glow a bit with each star. Stars would appear above Mac's stocks and symbol. Max of three Stars.

His other three specials are fueled by stars and become more powerful and/or have additional effects with each star.
They each have four modes. Regular, One Star, Two Star, Three Star.
A special uses one star unless Little Mac has three stars in which case, all stars will be used for the most powerful version of that special.
