I love Sakurai's Duck Hunt. The dog looks so so soooooooo much better than the original NES look.

Has someone taken the time to look closely and describe the moveset? I think the neutral special is the can right?

You remember that thread that said this game was just Brawl HD and was recycling all the character models and animations?

Still salty as fuck Duck Hunt and Wii Fit Trainer got in over far more deserving characters regardless of how good they look in gameplay

Duck Hunt + Super Mario Bros. is one of the most ubiquitous video game SKUs of all time. Wii Fit popularised the "health" genre of video games and helped sell the Wii in the monstrous numbers it sold.

Define deserving.

Duck Hunt dog has a more iconic status than any of those characters minus Mewtwo.

No he isn't, he's literally a laugh that people found annoying because they suck at light gun games as a kid that became an internet meme over the years.

I don't like the character, I never liked his game, I don't like his inclusion over other characters that I do like. Just because Sakurai made him unique does not mean I have to like him, or think he's a good inclusion
 
I almost had the Ridley Salt post ready a few hours ago, but my phone deleted my progress & I had a class coming up at the time, so I waited to get on my laptop to finish the job.

I initially had 4 quotes, but I was able to more than double that on said laptop.

Have we ever had to since after 64?

Though the multiplayer requirements are much easier now. That's kinda cool.

Yeah but the vs. mode only requirements for Melee were insane, and harder than just playing through subspace in Brawl.

With Smash 4, I play each character 3 times in vs. mode and everyone is unlocked.
 
Sort of disappointing though, in terms of female characters, only two of them are their own character...Rosalina and Palutena.

The rest are just palette swaps, and only WFT and Mii Gunner have the female as the "default" one.
 
thanks for all the great info! seems to be that time of the thread where i bail. i'll see y'all online.

If we're going to start making fun of people because their most wanted characters didn't get in, I'm out.

It's the extreme, histrionic reactions we're making fun of. Look back at Neoxon's post. Someone said this:

Sakurai confirmed to be a disgusting, power-hungry, expectation playing dictator-developer who doesn't care about what the fans want.
Click to expand...

...and he doesn't appear to be joking.

Is that you, Deckard Cain?
 
Ridley isn't even that popular outside of an extremely vocal fanbase in the west. And nobody in Japan gives a shit about him (and which community do you think Sakurai has an easier time seeing?)

I don't get how people can say this is the worst roster. Are they just unaware of 64? Are they ignoring the vast majority of veterans returned (and most that didn't were honestly not that popular or well used outside of small online communities)

JEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSUUUUUUUUSSSS JIMMITY CRICKET

Like, dawg.

Damn. XD

I don't even think that picture represents enough salt there.

It is at this point where they need to walk away from the computer, go outside and take a dip in the cool purifying waters of Lake Minnetonka.

Ridley, Toad, Dixie Kong, Mewtwo, Impa, a Ganondorf with a unique moveset

Just to name a few

ridley it's too disproprtionated to be a fighter...it's the kind of crature that looks good only standing still or flying (and that's how it has been portrayed in most of the games)..animating such creature for a fighting game while looking convincing would be next to impossible..even changing some of this chara design like trimming his wings

toad doesn't really have much to offer since in all the games all he does is smile and stay still,apart from mario 2 usa

dixie kong would have probably ended up being a clone of diddy

mewtwo already "evolved" to lucario years ago

IMpa is another character that didn't really do much in the games where she appears..i can just see her as a clone of sheik maybe

I agree for ganondorf with his own moveset though,maybe even in his pig form

I don't see how it matters, to be honest. We still get the option of playing as female characters, and the roster has taken huge strides in terms of equivalency as compared to previous games.

Throwing a technicality here, not Solid Snake. In all seriousness though Snake was always an odd inclusion to begin with. Before that he was in Brawl, and before that?
Click to expand...

Twin Snakes, Ghost Babel, Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2

I doubt he was cut for any reason other than Konami is a pachinko company that repeatedly makes very poor video game related decisions.

I don't get it, why are characters like the koopalings alts for Bowser jr, but something like dark pit a separate character?
Click to expand...

Roster padding, and the character is popular enough so that nobody cares.

I mean, lucina is the least different of all the clones and nobody minds because a lot of people played fire emblem.
 
Toad.T said:
Have to ask, are we waiting on anything more to leak? Besides the character specific changes, I mean.

Also, thank you Neorice.
Click to expand...

- Pokeball Pokemon. Any really hidden ones like, say, Diancie or something.
- Trophies. We have all the ATs iirc. But I wanna see what characters got Trophies, because that may hint to possible DLC if certain characters are absent. Plus I wanna see if any obscure characters got new Trophy Models.
- Soundtrack. Smash Run apparently has a lot of songs.
- All the Smash Run Enemies and End Matches.
- Custom Moves. Mii Customization.

And...that's it, really.

Yes. Ridley is a boss character. Just like Yellow Devil is a boss character. The context of that part of the video was boss characters that act as stage hazards. This game has several such boss character stage hazards.
Click to expand...

And you mean to tell me that while Dialga and whoever else was on the Spear Pillar stage flipping the stage upside down or inverting controls is not as intrusive or centering the gameplay around that stage hazard, than a "stage hazard boss character" behaving like an actual boss?

If Ridley's role as a boss is literally doing nothing but occasionally grab players, I'd rather not have any Ridley at all. Not even as trophy.
