[up]No it isn't. Ivysuar works because his vines allow him to do stuff that he couldn't do without them. Like picking up crates.

Sylveon should not be playable.

Also, a side note, we do have a Project M thread here, so maybe try just taking those tangents there so this thread doesn't get derailed with bitching/defending.

You say that as if any criticism is invalid.

Sylveon could be like Megaman and only have one or two melee attacks.

Also, it could pick things up with its long feelers. It can do that according to its Pokedex entries.

[up]Even so there are more deserving Pokemon.

Not to mention this seems like a case of putting in someone simply because they are from the most recent game.

Individual generations do not have mascots in any official capacity (beyond starters and box Legendaries). Lucario is in because he was one of the first Gen IV designs shown, and had a movie (one may have had to do with the other). Sylveon was also one of the first Gen VI designs revealed, and had a pre-movie short film dedicated to it (missed out on the full movie because of the shift in the release schedule; although I don't think we know what movie 17 is yet.

Lucario is the mascot of Gen IV. Fact.

It's also notable because not every generation has a mascot. Gen VI doesn't, Gen III doesn't. Some people think Pichu is Gen II's mascot but Pichu didn't really get promoted until Gen 4 came out; seems awfully late to promote the apparent mascot of the gen.

You can't say "fact" when there is no such thing as a generation mascot. Pokemon has one mascot: Pikachu. The closest individual generations get to having mascots are the Legendaries on the box covers, and the starter trios. Lucario is popular, but it is not the mascot of anything.

Keep telling yourself that.

Actually don't. Because that's wrong. He's the face of Gen IV whether you like it or not. And even if we use the shallow advertising rule, he's still important for his role in X and Y as the first pokemon to mega evolve, and one is given to you.

Not sure if stage hazard, or co-op boss level...
I'm leaning towards "boss level" or "Event" or something similar... The Yellow Devil looks a bit too large for it to be a hazard on the stage along with four fighters.

Still, the Yellow Devil is one of my favorite Mega Man bosses. And while I expect a remix of the MM1 Wily Stage boss theme to play during its appearance, I really hope this song or a remix of it is in the game.

As we were told today, the statement about the spring release for Super Smash. Bros. was a mistake. Therefore no actual date has been set except for the year 2014. Mario Kart 8 will still be released in spring 2014.

Huh...

Awesome. I guess that means the game won't be rushed.

Guys, seriously. If it came out this spring, there is nothing to say that it was rushed. That is a completely reasonable time for it to come out.

If a pony ever got in Smash I would boycott Nintendo games. Or at least Smash. Probably just Smash.

I wouldn't be that happy either to be honest, and I like the show. As much as I don't want Pac-Man in for lack of Nintendo relevance, ponies have even less. At least Pac-Man is actually on Nintendo consoles...

[up][up]Not it's not. And Nintendo will survive without it in Spring because Mario Kart 8 will sell millions.

Understatement. They don't have any Nintendo relevance at all.

Let's keep things chill here, people. This isn't Game FA Qs — we do have a thing against fanboyish arguments and pointlessly confrontational attitudes here.

I'm going to have to agree on Lucario being the unofficial mascot of Gen. IV, but that's just me.

For similar (less mascot-y and more ensemble darkhorse-y reasons) I'd be fine with Blaziken being playable. I'd still prefer bringing Lucario and/or Mewtwo back, though.

The unofficial mascot of Gen IV is actually Combee. The official mascot is Skuntank. Trufax.

[up]No, Probopass and Ambipom.

...I just realized something about Lucario. Good Attack AND Special Attack, diverse movepool... he kinda showcases the Gen. IV physical/special split, doesn't he?

[up][up][up]Lucario's held onto relevance- It's now one of the poster-boys for Mega Evolution, at least- And Mewtwo seems relatively likely to return for similar reasons.

Hm...

Stitll not entirely sure if the Yellow Devil is a stage hazrd or if he's a boss. It's clearly one of those two, but we've yet to see something to tell us which one, since boss battles could be two-player.

I have a message from another time...
