So, let's try to generate some more discussion.

Let's say Sakurai puts you in charge of adding one character (can be third party) with the following conditions:

- It has to be four-legged
- It can't be a Pokemon
- It can't speak

Who would you add? What would their moveset be?

People who complained about topics recurring in the threads should trying to start Smash 4 discussions rather than complaining about it. :/

 

[Green Mamba]

I can't possibly be the only one who finds the constant discussion of some fanfic in the Smash news thread to be really annoying, right?

My active discussion in these topics has gone way down in the past few because of all the extraneous bullshit you have to wade through to get to anything worthwhile. It's been pretty frustrating to see one of my favorite discussion topics on NeoGaf become one of the absolute worst community threads on the site. This fanfiction talk is just a whole other level at this point though, and I wouldn't be sad to see discussion of it banned as it likely will be if it keeps getting pressed. Take that garbage to IRC.

I guess we can throw Captain Falcon back into the starter pile based on the box

Wonder what was up with him in Brawl...

And uhh... Toon Link is on the box too? Err... he would be weird as a starter

I had thought of bringing this up earlier, but I see this as just another mark on the board of all announced characters (save maybe third parties) being starters. It really is the clearest conclusion to draw based on the evidence and past events.

I presume in this case you can't control Epona, you just hit buttons to give it different carrots that do different things depending on the situation.

That'd be such a waste of a slot though

all he does is attack and sniff, and I guess he could use random Mother items like pencil rockets and sprinting bombs.

...hey, my question worked! Almost a full page of SSB4-related discussion!

LOL! Well, girls don't have dicks, although I suppose they can have "spirit dicks," so perhaps if Neiteio 1 time-traveled to punch Neiteio 2 in the spirit-dick, then perhaps... Yes, that might do the trick...

Or in the face, really hard.

Yeah. We're running out of time. It's probably going to be like Brawl, with several veterans unlockable and just a couple of newcomers that we didn't already know about.

Well, Ridley's usually quadrupedal when he's on the ground...

But since that probably doesn't count, maybe Boney? He'd probably be a quick, weak character whose abilities are mainly derived from items.

Does a person riding on a four-legged animal count? Because then, my choice would be Stahl from Awakening. He'd be the only spear-user, so even though five FE reps is excessive, I'd forgive Sakurai in this case.

 

[PadWarrior]

Ugh, so it'll be kind of fun the first few times and then become a hassle when it gets used by anyone.


Yeah, he'll definitely have to be fixed. Haven't tried out PM but one grenade sounds lame.


You mean that elite 4 stage?


:T

Yeah that stage

Midna & The Wolf. Heck, make it the Shadow Wolf, as it appears in Hyrule Warriors. The wolf does the running, jumping, biting, clawing, etc, while Midna casts magic, warps them around, and of course grapples with her hair-magic, which can also be used to manipulate items and grab ledges. The Final Smash would be the Fused Shadow.

 

[theprodigy]

lmao all the people who hate Snake would rage even harder

 

[OricWindstar]

OT, but this is like my favorite gif ever.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

There was almost a Halo DS...

 

[Solid Samus]

Well we debunked that he would have to be on the back on the box at least.
Snake talk is awlays when I want to pop my head in SmashGAF.

With that said if he's in I wonder how he'll be tweaked. I definitely see his hit box and weight being fixed. Though there's numerous way to go about it. I'm ok with how snake is fixed (Not counting new movies) in ProjectM. Aside from only being able to use one grenade. Someone needs to explain that BS to me. That killed his whole grenade game.

snake is my main and PM seems to place a lot more emphasis on his hand to hand offense. Which is cool by me because it's as tremendous as ever. and even with only one grenade it's still quite useful if you get used to his different throws and learn to use it to space your opponent out (and also it's still super useful for recovery and punishment evasion). Only thing I don't like about PM snake is his tranq gun but I'm getting used to it.

if Snake is in Smash 4 I don't think he'll be changed too much tbh. Lighter and with a new weaker recovery move is my prediction

 

[Golnei]

Actually, would the first form of Metroid Prime fit the silent quadruped criteria? Its shape is certainly more conducive to downsizing than other nameless characters.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I read Brony; yeesh I need some sleep.

Does he come with a new Cortana based taunt? :3c

Yeah that stage

We know that some pokemon appear on it I think. Doesn't look like there are any other hazards and its flat with no other platforms.
I wonder if it switches between each elite 4 member.

 

[Kriken]

Sakurai's cat OP, pls nerf

 

[SuperSah]

"Pic of the Day, what's this? What is this tail doing here? Could it be a character not in the 3DS version? Stay tuned for more updates"

Anyone banking over non-3DS exclusive characters are in for big disappointment.

C'mon.

Hmmm I guess I just need to mess around with him more.
I mainly play against my friends link and his keep away with the bomb,boomerang, arrow back to back makes it really hard to get in close to truly get the melee in. Never helps that he times when I throw the grenade to block it.

I have the Nyko Power Grip but it would suck for something like smash. Hell it's really a shitty grip but the battery life is good.

[balladofwindfishes]

I wonder if Miis being unable to be used online is something they would eventually patch out if there's enough complaints.

I mean, a brain dead simple solution is just have all Miis in that mode look the same and be of medium size and there, problem solved, Miis online with no crude Mii faces.

 

[SmithnCo]

Still waiting on word about the CCP support... Though that download code thing doesn't mention it.

I might buy one of the Monhun CCPs if it supports it.

I probably will. Looks like SmashGAF needs to start recomending now.

I have that too and it does stink as a grip. Battery is really useful for long stretches with charging though.

And our next newcomer nomination is:

Jimmy T.

Notable Appearences
WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!
WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!
WarioWare: Twisted!
WarioWare: Touched!
WarioWare: Smooth Moves
WarioWare: Snapped!
WarioWare: D.I.Y.
Game & Wario

Bio
Jimmy T. (the T. standing for Thang) is a major human character in the WarioWare series. He is an obsessive disco-dancer with a big blue afro wig and a mustache that resembles musical notes. He enjoys dancing at nightclubs, particularly Club Sugar. Jimmy currently resides in Diamond City. He first appeared in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! as one of Wario's friends who helped him produce microgames.

What NeoGAF Says

"Wario needs more reps, both Wario Land and WarioWare are classic series at this point. Magic is overrated, Mona's big appeal is her scooter and Wario's got that covered with his bike. 9-Volt doesn't make sense since he'd be repping Nintendo in a Nintendo mascot fighter! Who's really left? Jimmy fucking Thang. A music based fighter with fantastic hair and a small army of cats at his disposal." - Berordn

Well, what more can you say after Berordn's elegant response? What do you guys think? Could Jimmy T bring some much needed grooviness to the Smash roster? Does Warioware even need another rep and, if so, who?

Note: Unlike veterans, the newcomers being posted are not being revealed in order of most votes due to the amount of different choices; I'm just sharing the ones I find most interesting. However, for the last five newcomers, I will present those in order as the newcomers who got the most votes.

I'll be awaiting your arrival in the fanfic.

Perfect ending for fanfic would be Green Mamba sitting in the tub, about to take a bubble bath, when the entire cast files through the bathroom door, all singing in unison, "It's that tiiiiiiiiime again," while Green Mamba giggles and claps his hands, splashing the water. A steel drum/jazz saxophone duet starts playing, similar to the first Arnold scene in "Commando" (where he's carrying the log through the woods), and the bubbles rising from the tub each depict scenes from the fanfic, mixed with random shots of Eddie Murphy laughing. At the end, Boss Doggie jumps in the water and spills it over the edge of the tub, and Sakurai peers through the open window, saying, "Bad doggy!" Cue the group laugh, and then the shot where we all jump at the same time and it freeze-frames: SMASH-GAF

 

[Drago]

Hell yes, if Wario ever got another rep (which I doubt) it's gotta be Jimmy T. Good choice.
