Relax guys, Sakurai already filled up the sword quota for this Smash Bros. There's no way that Ganondorf will be allowed to have a sword.
 
Mr G&W huh?
Have never been a fan but it seems everyone always has that friend who mains him. If they aren't already doing do.
Blows my mind he is actually a 3D model. They do so well giving the illusion he isn't.
 
Also, full disclosure, if G&W looks off in the banner it's because I couldn't find a picture of him that would work, so I had to trace a larger one for it in Photoshop.

I didn't notice, but i'm not an artist. Good job!


Never been great at game and watch, but a few of my friends mained him. Totally respect him.
 
Yeah Game and Watch! He's always one of my favorites. He's usually a challenge to use properly, but once you get him down he's really fun, especially when you get those lucky 9s!

Also, at this point, I really enjoy using every single veteran on that list in Brawl (like they're in my top choices), so that's cool! All that's left is my #1 pick, but something tells me my choice might not make the top 20.
 
Mr Game & Watch! Love that character. I remember pissing off a lot of my friends because I'm beating them with G&W just by using #9 lol.
 
Awesome Game & Watch!

He was the character I had a "WTF?" reaction to when I first unlocked him. He's still pretty awesome and if he were ever to be removed from Smash I'd be :(

Good thing he's here to stay!
 
Honestly, they really should try to declone some characters to some extent...

Give Toon Link some aerial kicks like Young Link had. Give him interchangeable arrows (Fire, Ice, Light), and give him abilities like the Gust Jar, Deku Leaf, and Hurricane Slash. Maybe even a Fire Rod too.

EDIT: Also who remembers the Mega Man ban during the Brawl era

Wouldn't giving Toon Link aerial kicks make him more of a clone? One of the main differences of Toon Link is that he doesn't kick.

Mr. Game & Watch
15th Place (Victory Music!)

Bio
Mr. Game & Watch is a composite representation of various generic characters featured in Nintendo's Game & Watch products and video game series created in 1980 by Gunpei Yokoi. The Game & Watch made handhelds vastly popular. Many toy companies followed in the footsteps of Game & Watch, such as Tiger Electronics and their Star Wars themed games. Nintendo's Game & Watch units were eventually superseded by the original Game Boy. Each Game & Watch was only able to play one game, due to the use of a segmented LCD display being pre-printed with an overlay. The speed and responsiveness of the games was also limited by the time it took the LCD to change state. The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) controllers were based on the controls in Game & Watch, and Game & Watch Multi Screen version became the model on which the Nintendo DS was based. It could be said that the Mr. Game and Watch character’s original appearance was initially seen in the first game in the Game & Watch series entitled Ball.

Aw yiss. One of my mains.

How would giving Toon Link Young Link's aerial kicks be de-cloning him when the aerial kicks came directly from regular Link, who still has them?
 
There's the theory/comment going around that certain testers only get part of the final roster, either because not everyone was ready to test or because sakurai didn't want any one team to leak the full thing (which is pretty dumb and would actively hurt balance).

*shrug*

I could see that happening for QA at the end of a development cycle (right before the game goes gold), but I still have a hard time believing that internal QA that occurs during the game's develop would only provide limited builds to its testers. *shrug*
 
POTD: Who could be hiding in this Birthday Box?

What kind of alt can G&W even have?
As implausible as it might be, I always thought it would be cool to have paper mario be a Game and Watch alt. it would kind of be a disservice to PM as a character, but I doubt he would get in with a brand new moveset
 
Has this been posted yet?

Now that's a roster if I've ever seen one.
I'll take 6 copies please.

I never thought of that. He could definitely fit into the part in certain ways.
Though stuff like the final smash would be an issue.

I had a huge WTF when he was revealed.

I had a 10x bigger wtf when I saw a "move swap" video that showed that he is an actual 3d model
 
Hell yeah, great to see Mr. G&W in this. Just like C.Olimar788 said, he's just insanely well realized. And if you think of Smash how I do, more of a celebration of Nintendo and video game culture than anything, he became an immediate necessity after being included.

I'll never forget unlocking him in Melee over at my cousins house. My cousin was so disappointed, he wanted someone "cooler". I was amazed and entranced, and I mained him for a long time just to spite him with bacon. He taught me about an entire Nintendo era that I had no idea about at the time, and the amazing part was he's so well realized, he taught people that stuff through his moveset alone.

G&W for life.

"Spite him with the bacon" needs to be a phrase used more often.

Also, couldn't agree more, G&W is a great character that celebrates an often overlooked part of Nintendo's history.

Also I had a dream that Ice Climber (only Popo) was confirmed.
