I'd argue that the existence of Waluigi really helped nail down Wario's personality. They sort of moved Wario's bitterness and jealousy towards Mario over to Waluigi and let him focus on being a disgusting, greedy slob.

Since a whole lot of posts (please note none of mine) have been deleted I can only guess this post was originally addressed to me.
Technically, my blame is that I'm influential (apparently). So when I made a few jokes that could be described a risqué others decided to join in and took it way to far. My worst crime was sporting an avatar of Isabelle barking. Oh and making that Lewd Leaf logo.
Some fan fiction say she is Mario and Peach's daughter in another galaxy (in the game that mean dimension or something) since her parent really looks like them. And that's why she visit that planet when she can.

I don't think Rosalina is generally called a princess, but she seems to be an ancient princess from the Mushroom Kingdom, going by her Galaxy 1 backstory. The place where she met the Luma is the same location as the star festival, which is around the castle. She had a crown even as a child, so she was some kind of princess, and, due to the presumed location where she met the Luma, mushroom kingdom seems to be it.

I expected new content and characters. I didn't expect a bunch of crossover stuff.
Nintendo: Well, we could have interesting plot and relatable characters like that, but let's say Bowser kidnaps something again, that will do better.
Well I do hope that Peach's Daisy outfit is more like Melee's than Brawl's with actual cosmetic changes. If her hair style changed that would be a bonus.

Rosalina feels like the lightning of Mario to me. Since were just seeing her everywhere at this point. Even in non spinoff stuff.

She can't be Lightning because her source material is actually good.
Well, her first appearance was as a major character in a role that wasn't damsel in distress, so...

Except Rosalina can be tolerated and has a better backstory. And it's told through a Picture book.

Would you describe her as a bouquet of roses?

You can't chalk that up to me still being bitter about daisy being on the sidelines. While Rosalina just jumped in. There has to be a comic elaborating on this.
Thanks for answering my question everybody.
I don't know. A new human character in the Mario series only comes along every once in a while (I think the last one added was Waluigi). I think its to be expected that Rosalina is going to stick around.

Or she's actually a good female character in the Mario series that isn't a hollow princess or a random female version of some male character. We see her a lot because she's interesting and popular.
For years, Mario's "best" reoccurring female characters were Peach, Daisy, Birdo (?), and Toadette. Daisy is an empty character, Birdo isn't even technically a girl. And Toadette is just a pink Toad with hair.
I never understood the whole "Lightning" argument for Rosalina. I suppose Petey Piranha was Mario's "Lightning" back when the Gamecube came out, too?

Daisy did jump in. But quickly fell off and went forgotten by Nintendo until they decided to add another princess to freaking Mario Tennis.
I'm just as sour.
Yep. So sick of seeing rooms filled with her in mario kart 8.

That's the thing though you have these other characters to elaborate on. But nope let's just give everything to the newest addition of the cast.
My guess is that because Rosalina's first appareance was on a Mainline 3D mario game, and had an important role in it (and the sequel, I think) Where as Daisy was introduced in a Mario Land GB game (I think) and she was never seen again until spin-offs.
Either way it is kind of pointless to me cause most of the mario cast is pretty interchangeable in my eyes, and they all cross over quite a lot.

Wario, Morton, and Bowser are where it's at anyway.

I miss when Petey was in everything
It was nice having a mindless monster as a character. It was different, and petey's proportions were so different from everyone else, it made for some good variety in games where four of the characters wear suspenders and hats.
Luigi barely has any character in his primary genre though due to his constant presence as a Mario alt. Wario is always a greedy bastard.

I kind of dislike the whole "Lightning" argument in general. I only see it in reference to new female characters and its kind of annoying. The thing that made the Lightning scenario bad was that people didn't want more FFXIII yet SQEnix kept shoving her down our throat.

Eh, I'd argue that taking cues from fan fiction isn't the best way to go but Nintendo really doesn't like to nail even the most trivial details about the Mario universe if they don't have to. The Koopalings aren't related to Bowser anymore? Alright. Wario and Waluigi may or may not be brothers despite being evil versions of Mario and Luigi who are brothers? OK.
If the New Super Mario Bros. franchise didn't exist I wouldn't be surprised if they decided that Mario and Luigi may or may not be related, who knows!

Well, in all seriousness, I definitely see potential in them doing something with her and I understand the frustration in them not doing so. Luigi didn't always have a personality, but once they started adding to his character through Luigi's Mansion and the Mario & Luigi games, he's actually a pretty deep character as far as Mario games go. Daisy was added to Mario Tennis so there would be more female diversity, which is fine, but they never did anything with her beyond that; I'd love for them to have her in an RPG or something and expand her personality. Rosalina on there other hand, while not some crazy layered character, has a pretty extensive backstory and a personality beyond how she yells when making a goal.
The obvious comparison here is Mario as...well, he doesn't really have much of a personailty outside of being determined and optimistic. But he has the benefit of generally being the player character, so we are able to tie our own emotions from the various games we've played as him; it doesn't matter that Mario is sort of a canvas, I remember feeling nervous in World 8 of Super Mario Bros. 3, so as a result I can apply the skill and courage I had to work up in that game to Mario. I guess you could apply the same logic to Daisy and have a sports themed move set, but, at least for me, that's not a character type I want in Smash.

Palutena?
Does it show bosses at the end at all?
But if a player always target you in a match, it's a bannable offense :lol

Falcondorf is Sakurai's Lightning. Don't ask me how it works.
Lightning is Lightnings Lightning.
Palutena is Sakurai's Lightning
I'd say that Wario has the best defined personality, if only that it's been relatively consistent since his inception in the series.
avatar notwithstanding
Yep, Sakurai's very own Lightning!
