Title: If someone had to be removed...
Post by: Neerb on May 16, 2010, 10:52:07 AM
As we all know, loss of characters is an unfortunate part of Smash. Mewtwo, Roy, Dr. Mario, and Pichu were all taken out for Brawl... and who's to say that's the end of it? So, if ONE character had to be removed for SSB4, who would you want it to be?

I'd say... Lucario. Granted, I love Lucario, but I feel he doesn't really contribute too much to the Pokemon series or the Smash series. Plus, like Mewtwo, he'll probably be replaced by the next-gen cool biped anyway (aka Zoroark).

Any reason as to why?

Get rid of intercourse ing Jiggly Puff, really. There is no longer any reason for her to be there other than the fact that she is one of the original members.

Jigglypuff is essential to the game. You would have to remove someone like Lucario, Lucas, Wolf, or Toon Link. Personally I would remove Lucario.

Lucario's removal goes without saying. I agree with your suggestions too, but...

How in the hell is Jigglypuff essential? Do you really think people are going to give a crap if Jiggs gets removed?

Well for one, she's completely unique; if Wolf was taken out, Wolf users may adjust to Fox or Falco, but Jiggly offers a gameplay form that no one else can match. Plus she's one of the Original 12.

It'd matter if she was unique if she was likable in the slightest.

I wouldn't go that far, considering the fact that Yoshi is a well known gaming icon with a few of his own games while Jigglypuff has absolutely no importance whatsoever outside of the fact that she's a reoccurring Super Smash Bros. character due to her singing and drawing on people's faces being an old, now obsolete running gag in a 12-year-old anime that nobody watches anymore.

They left G&W. They tend to leave unique characters like Jigglypuff, G&W, and ROB. Mewtwo was unique, but he was more replaced than taken out.
Title: Re: If someone had to be removed...
Post by: Neerb on June 02, 2010, 04:35:25 PM
Which totally sucked; Mewtwo was cooler and more important to the series than Lucario in every single way. I personally preferred playing as Mewtwo as well; in fact, if he was still in, he'd definitely be my main main instead of my constant switching between Link, Toon Link, Ganondorf, Pokemon Trainer, Lucario, and Kirby.

No I'm not kidding, are you retarded? Equating Yoshi who has his own intercourse ing games to a random pokemon out of upwards of 500 pokemon suggests that you are. It's like you feel sympathy for the poopty characters in a game or something(lol Dan).

Bam.

Aside from that, on Smashboards and All is Brawl polls usually the most wanted character to be removed ends up being JIGGLYPUFF. She isn't even fun to play as. I don't know anyone that has liked to use her since the original Smash, and that's probably because in that game she was remotely playable and even then people just combo'd into her easily abusable Rest. It got nerfed to hell in subsequent games, and her popularity waned. Hell I know people that forgot she was even IN Brawl.
Title: Re: If someone had to be removed...
Post by: Cornwad on June 02, 2010, 08:38:26 PM
Now that you mention it, there are a lot of similarities between Jigglypuff and Dan.

But anyway, most people who don't like Jigglypuff are morons, so their opinion shouldn't matter anyway. Jigglypuff is for people with class, you can't expect everyone to understand. Luckily, the people behind the roster for Smash games realize how essential she is.

You're just saying that because Lucario is one of your favorites. If your vision wasn't clouded by favoritism, you would see that Jigglypuff is one of the most essential characters to Smash Bros.

In my opinion, Lucario is just the "currently popular movie star magic fighting biped pokemon." First it was Mewtwo, then he got replaced by Lucario, and while I'm not 100% sure, I have a feeling Lucario will be gone next time to make way for Zoroark.

See? Some people just don't understand. Jigglypuff takes a level of sophistication to properly understand. You don't just randomly add a Pokemon and keep it in for three games, while taking out characters like Mewtwo and Doctor Mario.

Title: Re: If someone had to be removed...
Post by: Thirdkoopa on June 04, 2010, 03:29:15 AM
I think the reason people want her out more is that in Brawl is that she's pretty much by far the most ignorable character on the roster. (Play-style wise) Much like others however that would probably be buffed around in the next game.

I'd normally be in a good agreement basis on this but there's that simple fact that keeps me from doing so. Then again, using that logic, they could also barely change her at all and leave it at that.

Post by: Cornwad on June 04, 2010, 03:41:16 AM
The way I see it, Jiggylpuff is like Rocky in the first movie. Not any of the others, as much as I'd like to see Jigglypuff end the Cold War or fight Mr. T. I'd say that Kirby is Rocky 3 and Mr.Game and Watch is 2.

But anyway, you go into a match expecting Jigglypuff to lose. Especially when playing with people newer to the game who will automatically go to Ike or Snake, Jigglypuff looks like the worst decision you could make character wise. Then when you actually play as Jigglypuff, it just becomes that much better when you do good. You don't need to actually win to come out on top, coming close makes it clear that you're a better player, just like at the end of Rocky. They kind of ruined Jigglypuff in Brawl because she isn't all that good anymore, but the idea still works. Without Jigglypuff, who else would be Rocky?

Jigglypuff is definitely likable, and I can promise you if they removed her, there would be a poopstorm of quite epic proportions. Her relevancy may be gone, but she's still badass.

But you're all forgetting: There won't be another Smash.

No, she isn't. Grow some intercourse ing testicles. And there wouldn't be a poopstorm lol. Did I not already mention that she's almost always the most wanted character to be removed in polls? For the last time, no one would care. No one uses her. People forget she's even there.

Which is stupid considering how much profit Nintendo makes off of the series. I do remember taking a Nintendo questionnaire in late 2008 where one of the questions was something along the lines of "Would you ever consider purchasing another Smash Bros title in the future?".

Those are polls in which you have to get rid of someone. No one wants her gone, but if they HAD to pick they'd pick her. If they did actually remove her, people would rage. I'm certain of it.

We Americans are too hardcore for Jigglypuff. Jigglypuff is for fags because Jigglypuff is pink and pink is for fags and baby girls. We should replace Jigglypuff with another Metal Gear Solid character or a character with a big sword. Guns and swords are for men, unlike pink. Pink is for fags.

anyway Jigglypuff should not be removed because
-Jiggs was in the original twelve
-has an orginal moveset/isn't a clone
if a pokemon has to be taken out it should be lucario, they'll probably need room for a 5th gen pokemon (or even better put mewtwo back in) and they don't want to have too many pokemon reps.

Post by: Nayrman on June 09, 2010, 12:25:10 PM
My Top 3 choices:

1. ROB: He's not an important character...at ALL. He had two REALLY CRAPPY games for the NES, he was a terrible peripheral, and he didn't work. Not to mention he sucked the life out of batteries. If it weren't for the Virtual Boy and Power Glove, it'd be ROB getting all the "WTF were they thinking". Sure it worked as a marketing ploy, but as a game device it was pointless. There are DOZENS of more deserving and more relevant Nintendo characters (Metroid characters, F-Zero characters, ISAAC FROM GOLDEN SUN!?!?) to put in.

2.Wolf: Either de-clone him, or get rid of him. We don't need so many Star Fox characters with the same moves. Seriously Sakurai, he was your laziest job yet.

3. Lucario: If Mewtwo can get the axe, while being way more popular than Lucario, then Lucario should go to make room for the eventually fifth (or sixth) generation pokemon that will get a movie and be more popular.

Eh, I don't know; I kinda like having ROB now... he's like the playable embodiment of Nintendo hardware in general. He's certainly more important than Lucario, Ice Climbers, and Pit at any rate (although I'm sure all three are more popular, and I wouldn't want Ice Climbers or Pit gone).

yeah i like rob and hope he stays but i think hes in danger. the only character i want out is lucario, as long as mewtwo replaces him.

Doubt that. Granted, I love Mewtwo as much as the next guy (coughusernamecough), but if Lucario's gonna be replaced by anyone I think it will be Zoroark... or the 6th gen battle-ready movie biped if Smash 4 takes too long.

ROB saved videogames as we know them along with Mario. He's not going anywhere as long as G&W stays.

As someone else said, ROB is the embodiment of Nintendo Hardware. He should stay.

ROB was essentially the reason Americans bought the NES after the video game crash.

ROB probably isn't going anywhere. Granted, I'd rather have another character in instead, but being that Nintendo feels the need to put him in pretty much every one of their multiplayer games I doubt we'll stop seeing him any time soon.

He was essentially a marketing gimmick. I think Nintendo realized early on that ROB was a piece of crap in terms of functionality.
Yes, he served his purpose in getting people to buy a "toy" and not a "videogame".

But with only two (really bad) games to his credit, and the fact that like most NES peripherals that weren't basic controllers, he was a terrible piece of crap that rarely, if ever, worked. WHY Nintendo wants to remember that is beyond me. It'd be like making the Virtual Boy or Power Glove an item...

Power Glove being an item would be amazing.

I love the Power Glove. It's so bad.

Sorry, but the NES did that by itself.

ROB is pretty historic though. Though he was crap, he was the essential start of video game accessories, which are incredibly important now days.

Nah, like Nayrman said, he tricked people into buying a videogame in a time that nobody wanted to buy videogames. Once people bought the system and realized that it had awesome games they kept it, but ROB got people interested again.

This is why I believe they put R.O.B. in. They aren't trying to remind people of it's poopty past, they're trying re-create his image and give him a good future.
I wouldn't be surprised if they made a game especially for him on the Wii, by that I mean he'd actually be in it, not as an accessory.

After Mario Kart DS, I'd like him to simply become a new Mario character.  :)

Um I'd say Rob only because he is the least significant.  if any characters should go it should be sonic and snake.  but only if they need to drop two.  snake and sonic actually balance the third parties out in brawl.  you got a cocky, dimwitted hedgehog and a grown man in tights who uses realistic weapons and has a four o' clock shadow.  without one the other would stand out from the rest.
