I just chalk it up to the devs thinking "girly character —> girly attacks", and slapping is considered feminine for some reason.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

I'm inclined to believe the slap is from Super Mario RPG for two reasons: first one is that it's a one-two combo, and the other is the frying pan is one of Peach's moves (which there's no way that isn't a SMRPG reference).

I mean, in any other case a slap could be a generic move for a woman. In Peach's case, though, it's a part of her history.

I'll give you the frying pan, but I'm still not convinced about the slap.

Eh, whatever, this is a dumb thing to be arguing about anyway.

It is kind of silly, although Mr. Sakurai seems to throw in an awful lot of references with mere attacks (obvious example being Mario's AAA, and...

...the Villager's recently revealed Turnip attacks, which I must ask: does the damage fluctuate too? If it does, we may have the ultimate Confusion Fu fighter, what with tree planting and stuff.)

They may be like Peach's Turnips. Seeing as how they are different shapes...

The idea of turnips' damage values being variable is a pretty amusing way to reference the Stalk Market.

I'm sick of this relevance BS. K Rool doesn't need to appear in a new DK game to deserve his inclusion. He was the Big Bad of the DKC trilogy, DK 64 and a few other games. He's the antagonist you associate with the DK series.

The relevancy argument would only apply to a series like Pokemon, anyways.

[up]And even then it's shallow.

Pokemon should be chosen for how they've been immortalised, not because of a fifteen minutes of fame thing.

@Second Sonic Character

Considering how Sakurai said he didn't want to go overboard on third parties, I'd really rather not double-dip from the same third party franchise.

Apparently Villager's up-air and down-air are turnip attacks.

Watch out Peach, you've got some competition. tongue

The polygons on those look awfully sharp though.

Dr. Eggman doesn't fight directly outside of various contraptions.

And Kamek never fights in close combat yet I Can't Get Away with Nuthin' for saying that.

IDK, a slap seems a pretty specific attack to have for a fighting game.

I dunno, Peach seems like the kind of character who would. Dainty Damsel in Distress who gets kidnapped in 90% of her appearances.

EDIT: [up]x7 This, basically.

Same thing with Donkey Kong, he couldn't punch in his games.

You know, being able to punch is pretty much a given.

It is kind of silly, although Mr. Sakurai seems to throw in an awful lot of references with mere attacks (obvious example being Mario's AAA, and...

This makes me annoyed even more about how Toon Link's standard combo isn't based off Wind Waker's.

Villager's up air and down air are Turnip attacks?

So, he can influence turnips and turndowns in the stalk market.

Mr. Eggman didn't go to school for 12 years to be called Mr.

He also prefers Robotnik, but that's rarely remembered.

One thing I want to know is why Bowser Jr. is on like, every "realistic" roster. Personally I don't feel he's very likely... but everyone else loves adding him.

So do you think Mewtwo's gonna return, or will it be Lucario? Seems more likely for the latter, since making two Dragon Yoshis for the former wouls be difficult to program compared to a single Wario Man.

...I'm sorry but what are you talking about, man?

I think Sakurai has expressed interest in Mewtwo returning, haven't heard anything about Lucario. So I'd bet Mewtwo.

#28169: Dec 2nd 2013 at 9:44:24 AM

He has explicitly expressed interest in Mewtwo, so I don't know why Lucario would be more likely.

Okay, realistically, I don't believe either have a ghost of a chance being playable unless Nintendo buys out Sega and the Sonic series, but seriously.

Given the way Nintendo and Sega's relationship has developed as of late, this seems like far less a crazy possibility than it would have only a few short years ago.

He also prefers Robotnik, but that's rarely remembered.

I know I prefer calling him Dr. Robotnik.

Sounds a whole lot cooler than Eggman if you ask me.

One thing I want to know is why Bowser Jr. is on like, every "realistic" roster. Personally I don't feel he's very likely... but everyone else loves adding him.

Is he even really that popular a character?

Apparently! I see him on a good lot of lists, and I look at a ton of them.

Bowser Jr. has quite a fanbase and is pretty much the only major Mario villain left that could get in.(Kamek is a Yoshi-based villain, originating so as the mid-boss to Baby Bowser, who is specifically a Yoshi villain as well, so he doesn't count).

@MM: Nobody was serious about the Eggman suggestion. That's why nobody is defending it. We definitely were joking. Especially after 0dd1 pointed out he's just having fun here. People were serious about Kamek being a choice, which is why he's being defended. No more, no less.

[up][up] That's also what I meant when I said "But seriously". I should've definitely added "But seriously, I'm joking around." I apologize for that.

Could Spike from Wrecking Crew work as a good character? He was one of Mario's antagonists before Bowser. (and may have knew him based on WC'98) He might use attacks based on the series, using sledgehammers, dropping blocks and vaults on people, throw bombs and maybe even use a golf club.

But Spike is Waluigi('s evident inspiration)!

He's far too minor to really be considered for a playable spot, but hey- Bosses and Assist Trophies are a thing.
