.... Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 https://cp.nintendo.co.jp/us/ Here is the link (If this isn't allowed then pls remove) We can vote for a new character for Smash bros now. Know what that means folks! Ridley time. I also voted for Inkling loli from Splatoon, Krystal from Starfox, Dark Samus from Metroid Prime 3, Shovel Knight, Banjo Kazooie, and Shantae ( They said ANY video game character not just Nintendo)
Drelkag Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 Would like to see a Splatoon representative.
🎶Argysionnach Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 A splatoon character could be interesting. I also lobbed in a vote for Neku Sakuraba, for the hell of it, just 'cause he's only been on nintendo handheld systems, and it could be an interesting moveset. And in my likely unpopular opinion, Ridley would be a terrible addition. He just wouldn't be a very feasible character, combat-wise.
.... Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Posted April 2, 2015 Gonna vote for Guardevoir, Blazaken, and Midna as well.
🎶Zunqivo Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 My brother wants everyone to vote for Regal from Tales of Symphonia. To be fair, he's a pretty good looking character for Smash.
🚩Falaflame Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 My vote went to Hector from Fire Emblem. The game series needs someone who would willfully AXE YOU SOME QUESTIONS.
🎶Kyubeii Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 Rayman and Crash BandicootCrash is my childhood hero and id love to see him in it
🎶Atoyume Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 Skull Kid, Rouge the bat, Knuckles, Gracie Grace.. omg so many I want,,,,,

Olimar, the size of a nickle isn't feasible. DUCK HUNT MUTT ISN- you get my point.
🎶Jainnifer Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 I'd totally dig a Paper Mario incarnation in there. Like, a two-dimensional sprite like Game&Watch and using the paper mechanics (alongside other cameos) as its main gimmick. Fawful would be AMAZING if he had a chance. If his boss battle made it, he should too.
🎶Kui Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) I voted for Ark from Terranigma Even though it will probably never happen. One can still hope! Edited April 2, 2015 by Kui
🎶Viersell Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 lets see hmmmmmmm, Black Knight FE: Path of Raidence, The dog from duck hunt, Fairy queen from zelda, One of the elite four, gym leaders champions from pokemon
Spencer Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 I voted for Dimentio from Super Paper Mario. I feel like he'd fit in the SSB universe. "Dimentio makes his Ultimate Debut!"
🎶Alynnia Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 lets see hmmmmmmm, Black Knight FE: Path of Raidence, The dog from duck hunt, Fairy queen from zelda, One of the elite four, gym leaders champions from pokemon But.. Duck hunt dog is already in SSB..
🎶Viersell Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 But.. Duck hunt dog is already in SSB.. I haven't played SSB in a while so I didn't know and i don't follow the news for up coming games anymore as i don't have the new consoles etc
🎶Argysionnach Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 Villager isn't feasible. Olimar, the size of a nickle isn't feasible. DUCK HUNT MUTT ISN- you get my point. Have you seen villager? If anything, they took out items from him. An axe is part of your inventory in every game. Olimar leads a team of minions with elemental specialties. Duck hunt dog was a stretch, but it's like you're actually playing as the player, being directed by the dog, somewhat in a reverse Pokemon Trainer fashion, not to mention they wanted something to show off oldschool NES stuff. Either way, clearly, Sakurai disagrees with you whole-heartedly Now let's look at Ridley. First and foremost, each character is scaled to fit, but is kept in scale with its respective franchise (with the notable exception of pikachu, who is about 1.5-2x the size it would be, relative to Charizard/Lucario/Greninja). With Ridley, they'd either have to make him tiny to fit with the fighters, or huge to fit with Samus. Let's assume they do the former, shall we? So, now, we have tiny li'l Ridley, which looks goofy next to Samus. What're his attacks? Oh, a fireball? Cool, cool, not nearly as impressive at this size though. What else? Another...fireball. Alright, and claws. He can slash stuff.. and shoot fireballs. And fly. Any other notable things that wouldn't make him a charizard clone? Oh, stage tilting! Cool, not happening as a move, but cool. All in all, there's really nothing that sets him apart, or gives him any versatility in game, not to mention there's really not enough to substantiate a full special move-set, let alone 3. tl;dr - While I honestly think Ridley is a cool character, and a nice boss in the Metroid series, I really, really don't see how he could fit in to this game. And this is coming from someone who was contemplating villager back before Brawl.

I'll just leave this here. Edited April 3, 2015 by Endymion0
🎶Argysionnach Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 I'm well aware that there's more to the arsenal, but that there's a souped up version of ridley, akin to several character's final smashes. Not exactly a valid counter-point.

Not exactly a valid counter-point. There's several versions of Ridley. The one I posted is one that has extra defensive and offensive abilities but it still mainly uses everything all Ridleys possess, which is tail swipes, fireballs, bites, slashes, projectiles, shockwaves, aerial attacks and more. To exclude Ridley because of a "size issue that wouldn't make him Ridley anymore" when several characters have had their sizes altered (Charizard, Pikachu, Olimar, Bowser, Jigglypuff, etc) is a pretty sad excuse.

Drewaryn Posted April 6, 2015 Report Posted April 6, 2015 i voted for vaati from zelda: the minish cap and arle nadja from puyo puyo aha... i hope arle gets in at least because sega has sonic in, it's not that farfetched to have a rep from puyo in smash (vaati would also be really cool just 'cuz)
🎶WinterWyvern Posted April 13, 2015 Report Posted April 13, 2015 I voted for Isaac from golden sun. Not many people know about the game but its one of the best gba games in my opinion. His also could be an assistant from the assist trophy. His the guy that uses psynergy 'Move' to move characters off the map with a hand.
