I miss Billy and Mandy.

Also, hi SmashGAF!

 

[Hatchtag]

I'm going to quickly run down a list of desired characters and tell you why they are garbage compared to Takamaru.

Here, have some of these with that salt.

 

[Myn]

I'm still annoyed how Chrom's model is basically character quality while assist trophies look like they were ripped from Brawl.

I'm not mocking anyone, just saying how unlikely a character of such low standing is to be in the game.

Hell Soccer is a piece of NES history, let's include soccer man as a character! Tons of great offensive moves such as headbutt, bicycle kick, slide tackle, bunch of trick shots. It came out the same year as Super Mario Bros which already includes such Smash Luminaries as Princess Peach, Mario, Luigi, and Bowser. Hell I'm sure Soccer player is in just because Sakurai loves these historical connections.

You're spoiling this Friday's assist trophy reveal...

 

[IntelliHeath]

Goodnight SmashGAF. ;_;

Good Night and I hope that you have a good dream of Takamaru being playable.

Goodnight SmashGAF. ;_;

TB it'll be ok. :3

oh my god no, don't even joke, I love this idea

Ridley: Nothing bad can be said about this majestic beast.

 

[Not75Drops]

I can't even tell who's serious anymore.

 

[Boss Doggie]

So who will be BTFO tomorrow?

 

[Fandangox]

On the plus side, that's a Neorice Takamaru sprite avatar coming up.

 

[foxuzamaki]

I'm going to quickly run down a list of desired characters and tell you why they are garbage compared to Takamaru.

King K. Rool: Probably the worst addition you could make to Smash. He is a poor man's Bowser, and one of the most unoriginal bad guys in gaming. We already have enough heavy brawler characters who are much more imaginative. Also his entire motive is to steal bananas. Fucking BANANAS. His boss fight in DKC has is ridiculously lame. FINAL SMASH: Throw crown.

Dixie Kong: What if Diddy Kong was a girl? That is the extent of how much thought was put into the idea of Dixie Kong. She's got HAIR ABILITIES WOW. She can haircopter over gaps. That's way cooler than a barrel jetpack!

Daisy: Bob-Ombs are better developed characters than her. She barely gets into Mario Party games, and if Nintendo dumps her for Rosalina any chance they get.

Shulk: Heir to the Monado? More like heir to the worst main character design since Vaan in FFXII.

Chorus Men: Donkey Kong's final smash called, it wants its gimmick back.

Dark Pit: I can't believe this character actually has a chance of getting in. Yes, I know "evil" versions are a staple in many fighting games, but his inclusion would be a clear case of Sakurai playing favorites instead of trying to make the most diverse and interesting roster possible.

Hades: See Dark Pit.

Chibi Robo: Chibi Robo looks like something a three year old would draw. It is completely void of any character and its entire gimmick is that its small. Not to mention it has the most boring abilities you could imagine like cleaning and plugging itself in. The point of his game is to collect happy points. HAPPY POINTS.

Ray MK-2: He looks like one of those cheap knock off Gundams you find in Japanese capsule machines. He also has the same gimmick as Chibi Robo in that he's just a small robot. What's he gonna do, shoot lasers? Pit already stole that.

Bandana Dee: I refuse to even acknowledge this character.

Ghirahim: Ghirahim was only cool when he revealed his true form. Before that he was a stereotypical effite villain who did nothing. Neutral special: Stand there. Side special: Wave hand around.

Ridley: Nothing bad can be said about this majestic beast.

Im trying to watch my sodium intake here

You left out the important part - what Takamaru is bringing to the table.

Since you brought it up, that's one of few reasons why I knew that Takamaru wouldn't be playable character. I can't really figure out what unique ability or moveset that Takamaru would bring to the table.

 

[nerdbot]

I still want Duck Hunt Dog in this game. He doesn't need to be playable, he'd make a great Magikarp equivalent if he just comes out and does his laugh and immediately departs.

(Though if they made him playable I would still love it)

 

[RiggyRob]

[Nickle]

There are few posters that are being dickish about it. I could point a finger at one person because many people don't like him tho.

I can't think of any Smash Gaffers that I don't like.

Spoiler

it's me, isn't it

 

[Nintendojitsu]

Poor little SmashGAF.

 

[Kouriozan]

TAKAMARUUUUUUUUUU!!!!

The dream is dead :-(

I didn't play the game, but shurkiens are all I can think of (and Greninja has those). Maybe he uses other ninja stuff in his game.

Aside from some drive by posters, I <3 all you guys.

 

[Man God]

I love and respect all of you, brothers and sisters of the night.

It can be hard to tell sometimes who is being serious and who is joking around.

Have him call the ducks and we see the ducks shot down by the gunman (the camera) and anyone getting to high or close to the ducks could be shot. And every duck or person shot the dog pops up and laughs.

AW SHIET I CLAIM THE NEORICE TAKAMARU AVATAR

Heath can get his when he gets some optimism. Back of the line with you.

Sticker.

Samurai's can't win.

After Lyn and Taka, I'm almost compelled to agree. :lol

 

[Clefargle]

I can't even tell who's serious anymore.

 

[Man God]

Looking at that Takamaru>Your favorite list and I pretty much agree with most of those opinions actually.

One of them is bizarre though. You know Dark Pit is practically assured to be in the game? He's at the end of a character reveal trailer and we already have a character in Robin who has a separate VA for an alternate form/costume/whatever you want to describe it as.

 

[IntelliHeath]

No worries, I haven't really actively dislike anyone on SmashGAF right now. People think it's okay to being dicks on the internet because it wouldn't affect them in real life, which is probably true. However, Karma does exists so I hope that it don't bit them in the future.

Eh... You can have the Falcon one right now if you want. I don't want it anymore.

Duck Hunt could be a good AT like Pong. Would resemble Snake's Final Smash.

 

[Neoriceisgood]

Personally, I don't like any of you.

 

[Kouriozan]

Bahahahahahahahaha

Happy birthday to me, this is delicious. Love it.

Happy birthday!

I already called for NeoRice's Takamaru long long long time ago. Yeah, you can have it since I have to deal with two avatar bets (x 2 weeks) so I would have to wear other people's avatars for a month. Weee!

You forget Samurai Goroh.

 

[Fandangox]

Personally, I don't like any of you.

You don't like us now? Wait till Wonder Red gets confirmed as an AT and I bug you to make a sprite for him!

 

[Azure J]

You left out the important part - what Takamaru is bringing to the table.

Takamaru would have brought an entirely different style of swordsmanship to the roster that is sorely missing and very distinct both in presentation and goals versus every other type of swordsperson in the roster at current. If you need anything else, he also specializes in intangibility, fire and lightning bending.

But it's whatever at this point.

Samurai Goroh is lame, he just runs around swinging and hacking. Give me someone with potential for finesse or don't bother. At that point, it'd be "just another swordsperson" anyway.

 

[Boss Doggie]

What's the matter scared

 

[Bowling Pin]

Takamaru is an assist, but Red Excitebike Guy, Kyle Hyde, and Ayumi Tachibana are forever ignored.

SAKURAIIIII~

 

[Omzz]

for punishment, dont make a takamaru sprite. that'll show us

Well, now I have a job for you to do.

You gotta to make an excellent Takamaru Mii, and moveset for him on Smash 4.

I'm pretty sure that Excitedbiker assist trophy is more likely to be back again in Smash 4. I hope that you remember that they were assist trophy in Brawl.

 

[Forkball]

You left out the important part - what Takamaru is bringing to the table.

Takamaru has the following:

Katana, the best sword
Can turn invisible
Can throw knives and shurikens
Can shoot out fire
Can shoot out lightning
Can cause earthquakes
AND MORE

And what could Pit do before Brawl again?

 

[Spinosaurus]

Eh... You can have the Falcon one right now if you want. I don't want it anymore.

Can I have it for the mean time then? :3

Forkball is incredible right now.

If only I could take the Mii clothes from the Takamaru Ninja Castle in Nintendo Land. I think I'd actually do it. :lol

Nothing. Pit was a standard trophy in Melee.

 

[Muzy72]

I was #TeamPalutena first and foremost. Then I wanted Rosalina. I always wanted Lucina over Chrom, which I didn't think was possible. And my choice for a third-party was Pac-Man.

I feel like I have survivor's guilt over getting all the characters I wanted.

Haha, I was going to post the same exact list, but replace Pac-Man with Mega Man. I got the 4 characters I wanted, so whoever else is in doesn't really matter to me.

 

[nerdbot]

I DO hope we get some out-of-left-field forgotten character in Smash, I love what Sakurai has done with Pit and the Ice Climbers. Every new character in Smash has had at least one new game since Brawl, and while this is no surprise considering Sakurai has, in the past, lamented the lack of newer franchises he could incorporate, it's a little sad because I love seeing old characters get makeovers for Smash.

 

[Bowling Pin]

I'm pretty sure that Excitedbiker assist trophy is more likely to be back again in Smash 4. I hope that you remember that they were assist trophy in Brawl.

Those were generic racers riding Excitebikes, which was cool, but none of whom were a commanding character in their own right.

Now, this dude right here? The legendary hero of customizable race tracks and engine cooling pads? I can see him ruining Lucina and Robin's day real quick. You see that hand gesture? It's a "V." For victory.
