Super Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS Thread 2: Where Pilotwings is apparently Minecraft

Reasons Batman would not be a good addition:

  • absolutely zero brand association with Nintendo (besides jokes about Armoured Edition)
  • he's not a video game character
  • there's a million and one characters worthy of inclusion before him
  • I can't believe we're having this conversation
  • he's not a video game character
  • he's not a video game character
  • come the fuck on
 
Hopefully they also give him the Poltergust so he can stand out as his own character. I generally dislike clones in fighting games.

Luigi isn't a clone. Luigi is green while Mario is red. Clear difference.
But seriously, he isn't really a clone.

I laughed at point four.
 
Dude... I may be on that Yoshi shit, but...

alt costume for Luigi? Bluth54 gets his wish?
Hah!
I guess I don't understand how posting suggestions for characters who could never possibly appear in Smash undermines any of my points.

This.

I... honestly can't believe the kind of characters people want in the game. At least, I know most people are joking ;)

Nintendo and Sakurai will always be extremely careful about which non-Nintendo character is included in the game. And besides, Sakurai always said they had already chosen all the characters for this game.

This screenshot (and the Miiverse message) kinda surprised me. I was convinced Luigi already had its 'flutter jump' in Smash Bros...
 
Batman has as much place as Naruto, aka "Why did I let my 10 year old design the roster?"

*Puts on devil's advocate horns* That could be said about Snake as well.
 

As one of GAF's biggest platformer fans this side of AniHawk, that post was just a marvelous deconstruction of everyone's thoughts on the genre versus what the main Mario series is/tries to be.

At the same time, that thread shows that there's a pretty big audience for the "Ninja Mario/Mario 64 Mario in expansive playgrounds" not being served. Some indie will get stupidly rich if they get something going with good overall design (artistic and mechanical) in that mold.

Edit: Agreed with BGBW below though.

I did directly respond to that but you chose to ignore it and post an animated gif. Whatever.

So true. Snake has very little brand association with Nintendo, and so much more with Playstation.


Like I've said multiple times I don't think Batman would ever actually be in Smash but he's just the one wildcard/third party character I would like to see in Smash.

A Hat in Time might do a good job of filling that niche. I'm hoping for the best with that game, I donated $15 to their kickstarter.

There are very few third party characters I want in Smash, and I do think the video game origin rule is fitting, but Batman is Batman.

Maybe Batman will raid Metal Gear Solid and lock Snake up in Blackgate Penitentiary, Snake will proceed to get shanked to death by the Penguin, and never appear in another video game ever again. The end.

That would be better than Batman in Smash.
 
luigi what the hell

Both reasonable enough, I'd say.
Mike Jones isn't gonna happen though,

>That feel when you will never get a pixel king Mike Jones avatar.
>That feel when you're happiest when people acknowledge StarTropics... with words.
>That feel when you start playing Guilty Gear, see how Bridget fights with Yo-Yos and think "this would be cool as shit in a Smash game" only to remember that Ness is defacto Yo-Yo kid.
>That feel when you know he won't be in ever.

If it makes you feel any better, I'd feel happy for you if I'd ever have to sprite Mike Jones.
Unlike many MANY other avatars I'd be forced to make...
 
I really like how they adjusted Luigi's jump style. It make me wondering how much changes we would see from each characters in the games but at same time, I'm concerned that they mightn't able to add a lot of newcomers this time since they are focusing on upgrading old characters. At same time, I'm really happy that characters are getting upgraded, hopefully they would be much better in SSB4.
 
seriously what the fuck happened here


why is the guy comparing batman to ROB's and Snake's inclusion

HE'S NOT FUCKING VIDEO GAME CHARACTER FOR GOODNESS SAKE

WHY DO WE EVEN NEED TO ARGUE ABOUT IT?

AND ROB COUNTS BECAUSE HE WAS A GAMING ACCESSORY

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *tears hair and runs out of the thread*
