Post by: HTA! on September 15, 2008, 01:32:57 PM
I remember when this was simply a pencil sketch!

He supported Nook, I remember that.

I'm going to go ahead and keep this thread around, but don't make the discussion so much about him, himself, but rather the philosophy of the characters. Otherwise, locked.

And yes, I recall that sketch....kind of an "if only."

Of course I remember Algus!
He had some great riddles.

Anyway, I would've wanted to see a few "obscure" characters, but obviously not too many.

Any normal person who goes to Old sider/Smash board knows of Algus.
He's just 1 of many popular people from that board.

But yeah, Any of the characters in the sketch is better then stupid, "robit". ;D

*glares @ Ridley* :P

Yeah, I remember both him and that picture.
I never really got the chance to ask him how long it took him to make that.

I also seem to remember some Yoshi guy who posted a lot of joke threads.

I remember him. He was awesome.

And no, I don't remember the pencil sketch of that. 0_o

And Nayrman, I don't think he supported weird characters just for the thought of it being weird. I mean, I support two of the most weird and original character ideas around, and definatly NOT to make the game weird.

Also, ROB is actually kinda cool. So there. :P

He's technically not even a videogame character! X_X;;
He happened to like obscure characters, and wanted more obscure characters in the game because he hated the idea of more Mario/Zelda/Pokemon characters, but whatever...we didn't get enough origional types of characters....

Well, Sakurai didn't even really want to make a Smash Bros game, but when he saw that Nintendo was going to attempt to develop it themselves, he demanded to make it.

Unfortunately, it seems he got a little lazy half-way through development and just decided to scrap most of the ideas he wanted to put in. Plus, Nintendo and retailers were mad that he kept pushing the date back.

Me and him and a few others started the 2%. :D
Good times, although we got into trouble a bit.

As for the sketch itself, I am amazed at the detail!
I would have liked to see some more characters from the obscure side of the spectrum.

I saw that site and wanted to join, but didn't see that many people online.

I think I've drawn something close to that sketch, but never really finished it.
It's probably long gone somewhere now.
