Really Mario made it into the top 10.
Looks like he made it more so due to character Status than anything else.
Since he's possibly the most boring character for me in Smash.

Now Dr Mario would have at least been something.

It's kind of funny I only had Shulk's default clothes until I arrived at the shop in the first town, lol. Now I look like an entirely different character.

That's why I was hoping that we'd have more costumes for Shulk, I can't really picture him in his "first" clothes. The funny thing is you dress Shulk up in 5,000 different outfits and then for the final cutscene everyone is back in their "normal" clothes and it's really jarring XD

Oh and you should look forward to everyone's "Tribal Jungle" outfits when you get to the forest about 1/3 of the way through the game. Reyn looks like he killed Bowser and a turkey and made clothes out of them,

Wasn't expecting Mario to be this low. Anyway, congratulations to Mario and fans for making it to the top 10 of the polls. :)

Bio
Mario is the main character and protagonist of the long-running and highly successful Mario series. He was created by Japanese video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto and also serves as the main mascot of Nintendo. Mario made his first appearance as the protagonist of the arcade game Donkey Kong, released in 1981. Since Super Mario Bros., his trademark abilities have been his jumping and stomping powers, with which he defeats most of his enemies, and his ability to change size and gain powers with a plethora of items, such as the Super Mushroom and Fire Flower. Games have usually portrayed Mario as a silent character without a distinct personality; according to Nintendo's philosophy, this allows Mario to fit in many different genres and roles. In most games, he is the hero that goes on an adventure to save Princess Peach from Bowser, but he has been shown doing other activities besides adventuring, such as racing and sporting with his twin brother Luigi, and even on occasion putting his medical degree to good use to battle viruses!

As much as I love Mario, I expected this to be a surprising result. Trust me, Top 10 is full of surprises.

Assuming you meant fill me in (lol), I took a poll for a couple of weeks to for everyone to vote on their top 3 smash bros characters. The results are being posted one at a time on POTD days.
 
All Kirby games are at least good. Some are great, and few are absolutely brilliant, but they all fall somewhere in that spectrum. Anyone who says otherwise has no soul.
 
Canvas Curse is the most challenging Kirby ever made (no other game even CONTENDS with it), its engine is unique and innovative, it has so many nice collectibles, and the OST is fantastic.

Also, why aren't we talking more about Wii U stages? We're obviously going to get a new DK stage; do you think it will be from Returns, or Tropical Freeze?

The only Kirby game I've owned was Kirby and the Amazing Mirror. I think that was a fun game, at least from what I remember. I don't have the GBA cart anymore.

The only one I think is mediocre is Squeak Squad just because it doesn't really do anything new and is short.

Other than that, Kirby is one of Nintendo's most versatile franchises and has been successful in so many genres.

I'm looking at the game from an unskilled player's perspective, and I'm talking about it from an unskilled player's perspective. You're looking at it from a skilled player's perspective and trying to imagine what it's like for an unskilled player.

I think I have a better idea of what the game's like to an unskilled player than you do, because I am a fucking unskilled player.

This is so wrong. Mvc3 is baby's first fighting game.
Click to expand...

It really isn't. I'm vaguely competent at some 1v1 fighting games like Street Fighter, but I can't play MvC worth a shit.

How was anything I said wrong?

The game has a ton of shit going on on the screen at any given time. How is this wrong? There can be up to four characters on screen at once when only two are being controlled, plus all the gigantic flashy projectiles that fill the whole screen. There's a ton of shit happening on screen at any given moment.

The game is 100% about racking up massive combos. Again, how is this wrong? And if you don't learn to properly utilize your assists to extend those combos, you're not going to get very big combos. And if you go changing up your assists, you have to relearn the timing.

And you can't just do a combo and then rely on muscle memory to do the same thing every time. You have to keep these kinds of things in mind:

Who is on my Assist 1 button?
Who is on my Assist 2 button?
How many super bars do I have left?
Who will I switch to if I cancel a super with a super?
Is this the best place to X-factor?

Even something as simple as choosing your character can be overwhelming. In a normal fighting game, you choose one thing: your character. In MvC, you choose SIX things: three characters, and then an assist for each of those characters. And you don't know unless you've practiced a lot which assist is the best.

Street Fighter is an easy game to learn. Smash Bros. is an easy game to learn. MvC is not an easy game to learn.
 
So my account finally gets approved and I barely avoid fanfic talk. Wooooooo

Hey guys I have been lurking this thread for some time now and I'm excited to join in on whatever discussion is left (I mean now that we know like everything).

By the way of introduction, I have been playing smash since it was released and I started going to and hosting tourneys since melee. My most wanted newcomers were Wonder Red and Bowser Jr. (and phoenix wright but capcom deconfirmed him a while back).

Also I was #teamreal but I have no proof :(
 
Kirby games are good at worst. Canvas Curse is one of the best DS games IMO. Absolute fun character.

My favorite still is Kirby Super Star.

Welcome! You must be pretty thrilled with the Bowser Jr. leak.

He seems like a 10 kinda guy.

I'm really hoping link is really high up. Even though he's sucked in every smash, basically, he's a huge fan favorite. Also his amiibo is number 1. ALSO, you bunched all the versions of link together, which gives him a HUGE push.

I dont think he's back. I am part of the people that think that Sami should inherit his moveset, its too perfect; however the loss of the codec conversations is the greatest tragedy of snake's absence. La-lu-li-le-lo
 
Mario barely squeezes into the Top 10. I honestly had no idea where he was going to end up. I could see him being ranked highly because, after all, he is Mario. I could also see him being towards the bottom because he is the well-rounded everyman
almost to the point of being boring.
Some real interesting stuff in this so far Oric. Looking forward to seeing who else made this "surprising" Top 10.

I'm not saying every pick is some crazy unexpected thing, but there are some oddities for sure. Such as Mario at 10!
