Man, Pink Gold Peach is legit. That's some straight-up Terminator 2 shit when you look behind you in MK8 and see her liquid-mercury face emerge from the fire of a Bob-omb, laughing.

On one hand, I should be really pissed at her MK8 inclusion for being a beyond lazy concept.

On the other...it fits quite nicely into my SM64 theory as a kid where Mario 64 took place into an alternate dimension and that eventually a Metal Mario apparition formed out of the basement's metal pool, roaming the castle in solitude. Maybe he forged a girlfriend because he got lonely.

 

[Kyzon]

Relevance. Golden Sun characters as a whole have lots of potential as far as moveset variety is concerned.

Then again. There is Ganondorf. Who Sakurai you know...doesn't like for some reason.

Sakurai actually mains Ganondorf in Brawl, btw. I'm not sure why as he sucks without items, and he's WORSE with items.

Dude, that's a badass theory, and I can totally relate -- the portal to Hazy Maze Cave totally captured my imagination as a kid. Actually, revisiting that game, it still looks cool. I always loved the metal effect in the Mario games.

Why can Metal Mario form itself from nothing, but PGP needs to be forged? Were you a particularly misogynistic child?

Did Sakurai ever actually say, "Yo, I main G, home skilletz" or do we just assume that because he used her against that girl on that one Japanese variety show?

Because if it's the latter, maybe Sakurai believes Ganondorf sucks and he used Ganondorf as a show of chivalry to his mortal opponent

as for the Sakurai maining Ganondorf rumor, there's nothing other than that one match that indicates that is there

It's just like Adam and Eve, man. Pink Gold Peach had to be forged out of one of Metal Mario's rivets.

 

[Forkball]

25 more PotDs. Twenty... five. C'mon Sakurai, give us the goods. We have maybe a dozen people left, so we need a character every two days!

He has no chivalry ;_;

Um, actually idk. I'm speaking out of my ass using iirc as reference lol.

To be fair, Peach must've installed that pool in her basement, ergo, a woman made the pool that made the man that made the woman

I'd really love a future game that could translate the style of some of SM64's concept art.

It's not gritty, but it's still relatively mysterious and melancholy. Perhaps something like it could be a planet in Super Rosalina Galaxy?

I had a folder with that image when I was in fifth-grade. :-O

Simpler times back then when I was a console warrior. I'd turn around to one of my buddies in class and argue endlessly that the N64 was superior to the PSX because it's 64-bit and not 32-bit.

(I still don't really know what the hell any of that means)

Mario looks straight out of T2 in that art,

 

[Ryce]

Where did Sakurai say he mains Ganondorf? People parrot that line around all the time and I'm confused. There's a video of Sakurai playing as Ganondorf on a Japanese variety show, but that doesn't mean he mains Ganondorf.

Also, I know I just responded to this comment, but I wanted to add, you nailed it on the head with "melancholy." That's the key ingredient missing from modern Mario games, IMO. It's what made SM64 great, it's what made DKC2 so memorable, etc. Now I'm not saying games need to be deadly serious and miserable and joyless like Afoni or something

[MagiusNecros]

Sakurai probably mains everyone and no one since he probably chooses to playtest each character for hours and risk carpal tunnel. And use 2 Pro controllers to do it. He is 2 pro.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Hello, My name is IntelliHeath. I hope that everyone become familiar with my new avatar. Thanos Cat!

25 more pictures! almost a month to go!

Yep, that's what I remembered. I wouldn't be surprised if it's one of the fact that got twisted and spread around.

no, the Toads installed that pool for Peach

Well, main may be the wrong word to use. So how about who's his favorite to play as in the game.

Metal Mario needs to come back as a sub boss.

I remember reading an account of Sakurai playing three controllers at once. I have to imagine he wasn't doing anything too amazing on a per-character basis, but the fact he can split his mind three ways like that is impressive, if true.

Hello, My name is IntelliHeath. I hope that everyone become familiar with my new avatar. Thanos Cat!

I usually don't concern myself with avatars, avatar bets, etc, but is this "Thanos Cats" an avatar you're wearing willingly, or did you lose another bet as per Tinguigi?

 

[MrSaturn99]

As someone who played and loved Mother 3, I just think that having Kumatora is more interesting. I'm also making the assumption that she would be less of a clone than Lucas is.

It's mainly just the idea of her replacing the protagonist that rubs me the wrong way. I'd still flip my shit out if she got in (or any other party member from the series), but I'm generally someone who tailors his roster wishes to expectations, so I'd really just be set with Ness and Lucas for life.

What I'm really trying to say here is Boney for Smash.

assist trophy, man.

Spoiler

if he ever becomes playable, his club titiboo disguise must be an alt

Dude, that's a badass theory, and I can totally relate -- the portal to Hazy Maze Cave totally captured my imagination as a kid. Actually, revisiting that game, it still looks cool. I always loved the metal effect in the Mario games.

I know, right? The theory was actually all based on why there wasn't any furniture in the game, and despite being rather shaky now as an adult, it's something that I commonly associated with the game back then so it still grips at my mind whenever I play.

Why can Metal Mario form itself from nothing, but PGP needs to be forged? Were you a particularly misogynistic child?

LMFAO well...actually, now that you mention it as kid I did hate Peach with a burning passion to the point where during my imaginative concepts of an N64 game based on me, my friends and I would tie up Peach into the core of a volcano and wait for the lava sharks to eat her until she was just a skeleton.

Eventually when I was eleven, I realized how fucked I was when I was younger and played as her for the very first time in Mario Party as a truce. She is quite peachy, that Peach.

 

[Golnei]

Metal Mario needs to come back as a sub boss.

Only if the Meta Crystal / Metal Cavern theme returns with him. Its absence from both Melee and Brawl isn't excusable.

 

[Fireblend]

Man, having Kumatora in would be so awesome. It's nothing more than a pipe dream, but her design is among the best in recent Nintendo games.

At least she's the most likely pink-haired rep, with ALttP Link following her closely.

Really? He look like cat to me.

I lost due to the fact that Takamaru got confirmed to not be playable character. Expect me to wear a lot of different avatars once the game got released.

Peach cheats in Mario Party, so screw her

[Masked Man]

Thank goodness I'm at work and thus can't read everything that gets posted because it sounds like there were some massive FE:A spoilers. :O I'm currently on Chapter 18, though, and I've been pleasantly surprised at how little the Robin/Lucina reveal trailer spoiled major plot points!

why do people think this is a good idea

no offense but I reaaaaaaaallly don't get it. Is it because people prefer her character (okay in my book, I guess) or because of the whole "lucas isn't completely homogenized to his source material so sakurai needs to fix that with a brand new character" thing (which is lol, imo)?

Yeah, I love Kumatora as a character, and I think that Smash could always use more female fighters, but I would hate for her inclusion to come at the expense of Lucas's. :/

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Yup, it's Thanos Pony.

you're forgetting the real cheater here.

Oh well. Im glad that it's not that obvious since it look like cat to me. Wee, I'm looking forward to see more avatars in a month or so.

 

[The Great Gonzales]

That reminds me, the avatar you used to have - the one of Bowser getting bonked with a shell - do you have a source for that? I always liked that one.

 

[Neiteio]

He looks like neither a cat nor a pony. I thought he was some kind of pig.

I wanna play against the Treehouse guys and gals more.

If Lucas is cut, it's because that girl had the gall to use him in defiance of Sakurai.

Not only did she lose the match, but she lost her character. :-(

what did I do to deserve this blame

i am friends with all that desire mother 3 representation

Spoiler

excluding this kumatora over lucas bs IT WON'T HAPPEN SO STOP........

Clearly Duster should be the one to replace Lucas. Lucas took his Rope Snake!

Yes, I want to see Duster use PSI. He has a crippled leg, give him a break.
