maybe Sakurai ran out of retros he liked

Given to how Wii Fit Trainer is uncomparable to retros, I don't think that's the case, he never ran out of retro ideas at all.

It's funny how telling this is. First off, it's Opossum. Opossums and possums are completely different animals, Saturn. The opossum (specifically the Virginia opossum) was discovered in 1608 by the western world when Captain John Smith first came to the New World, and saw one. Upon hearing the description of the natives, he learned that they called it an "apasum," which was Algonquian for "white beast." As language changed, it became spelled as "opossum."
Skip ahead about one hundred years, when Captain James Cook heads to Australia. Here, he and his crew see animals that look vaguely similar to opossums, and in a moment of sheer creativity, decide to call them "possums." Eventually, folks in the US decided to be lazy and drop the "O," leading to much confusion.

....I actually did not know this.

Then what the hell am I?!?!

Also a friend.
I have a lot of friends, come to think of it.
I don't really have an enemy here, do I?

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.

I always associated Boos more with the fact that they can make nothing hurt them, as they're almost always invincible to attacks, so instead of floating, I designed it so that King Boo doesn't block, but instead goes invisible. He can only hold it for so long before he gets exhausted like a shield break, but the only plus is that King Boo can move around with it active, which will in turn add the negative effect of it deteriorating faster.

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

She's not a furry- (Holds tongue) Nevermind, nevermind. It's not worth going off on a tangent over...even if I'm correct.

I LOVE THAT SHOW.

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?

I've got it. I've compared Little Mac's design to other prominent fictional boxers. He just needs to be shirtless.

I never laughed so hard in my life.

 

[Louie G.]

Speaking of Mac, how do you think his design would look in Smash 4?
Like his Punch Out Wii self entirely, or some extra details harkening back to NES.
I think that he will be Wii Mac, with a few retro details.

Krystal wont be a clone if she makes it, was that what was being argued?

 

[andimidna]

King Boo would be a neat addition, I just hope they'd have him in his Luigi's Mansion appearance, not the generic boo with a crown one in Mario games.
Since Luigi is a Mario character in SSB, he'd be too. It gets a little complicated there... but they could easily have 6 Mario characters.

Probably Wii Mac with additional details that make him stand out in HD, like Samus' SSB4 design. Actually, his Punch-Out Wii coloration fits into SSB4 stylistically pretty darn well.

He can be his own series. Just slap a boo icon and we're done.

I think it'll be standard Wii Mac, but maybe add in a small Smash Bros symbol on his shorts or something, seeing as he likes to change outfits depending on what circuit he's fighting in.

 

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

If Mac were playable, it would be great if they implemented a visible damage system for him. Like, the higher his damage percentage is, the more beat-up he looks.

Then, that could transfer to his victory pose if he wins the match to correlate with Punch-Out Wii when he wins a match.

Please don't bring it up again.

That's perfect. Maybe a tiny little Smash Ball on the corner of his t-shirt too.

Pretty much this, but much closer to his actual artwork compared to his in game model from that game which wasn't quite as good.

Holy ****, I REMEMBER THAT SHOW.

...Why did I watch it, again?

His Brawl model makes me want to vomit.
His Punch Out Wii model is pretty great imo, but the artwork Mac looks really cool.
...
And why is the topic Wonder Pets all of the sudden?

I feel that he should look like a slightly more realistic version of Punch-Out Wii's version. With the newer hairstyle and tanned skin.

It started a really bad and long argument that I don't want to relive.
Maybe another day.

Wow, and after TEN whole days, too.

....You must be pretty young if you see that as part of your childhood. That show was on around 2006-2007. I was 14-15 at the time. This is one of those times when I realize just how old I've gotten. D=

My only question is...how tall will Little Mac stand next to characters? The guy's grown over a foot since the NES days, he's 5'7", almost a foot shorter than myself, and yet that's still decently tall compared to the characters of Smash. How does that all work? I mean, it'd be weird to see a guy with a normal body the size of Sonic the Hedgehog.

 

[Louie G.]

Seriously...
Like, I'm not the only one who despises Mac's Brawl model, right?

Probably Link sized, I would imagine.
And man, you are tall.

The only thing I don't like about the Brawl Model is the head...he looks like he's in his 30s and his hair makes him look like Moe from the Three Stooges.

Probably Link sized, I would imagine.

6'4". Too bad I iz done growin though.

 

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

I think it'd actually be pretty great to keep him at the size he was in Brawl.

I guess at the least, I would want him to be at a size consistent to Donkey Kong; same size difference as their appearances in Punch-Out Wii.

Just make him about Peach's height. Or maybe slightly shorter.

Basically this. He looked kinda sweaty too. It's weird.

Eh, I'd rather him be human sized. It'd be weird to have him so small in my opinion.

 

[Will]

I would make him tall,but shorter because in his brawl model he's in the common position of a boxer. The defense position if you will.
