You think Lip could be Smash 4's Ice Climbers/Pit? I mean it's not the first time a really old retro character with few game appearances got in. And she's still popular in Japan and was considered for Smash before.

Do you mean Dudley? Yeah, I already linked to his Duck(ing Straight).

That's the character that I was referring to.

Nintendo seems to be pushing the Takamaru train, if mentioning him at all counts.

[up][up][up] I'd say Little Mac would be considered this game's "retro" character, but we did get the Wii reboot a couple of years back (it's where his design in this game comes from, after all) to bring the series back into relevancy, so... yeah, she could.

Mr. Game & Watch was retro too upon his first appearance in Melee. So who knows. R.O.B. arguably counts if you ignore Mario Kart DS, but namely it depends if you mean "he's a retro character since his games are retro" or not. I only note this since we don't really know exactly how Sakurai views this.

Regardless, Little Mac isn't really retro since Punch Out Wii anyway. He's a pretty modern guy now. However, his playstyle does appear to be based upon some of his retro stuff, but that's not too odd for new characters to show off stuff from early games. Sonic does that, after all.

I love how expressive Donkey Kong and Dedede are when Little Mac was brutalizing them.

You know what is interesting about Little Mac? A lot of people think he would have his Star Punch system in Smash, but he instead has KO Bar system.

I don't know if it's been brought up (too many pages to flip through), but IGN has an interesting theory for the KO bar.

It's a charge metre, and a warning to other players, because Mac apparently has super armour while charging it. That's how they balance the OHKO. There's a huge wind-up, and visible warning when it's dangerous to get too close to Mac.

Someone saw the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure resemblance and did something funny.

I would like a Golden Sun character or two (the two being Sveta) to get in, if only because it may mean an increase in public awareness of the game so we can get our freaking Dark Dawn sequel.

Here we go again.

On completely unrelated topic, this might be the only time we really have seen the platform in Skyloft. Also, the Boxing Ring is surprisingly wide.

I think the Golden Sun characters should be Felix and Poseidon. Good news about that virtual console, The Lost Age is still the pinnacle of the series.

Golden Sun seems like the kind of series that'd have one representative to me.

It seems like a series that deserves both a playable character and an Assist Trophy, to me. So I'd like to see Isaac upgraded, and a new AT added.

I couldn't agree more with both of these statements

Poseidon?

What, the boss guarding Lemuria? Seems a bit random.

Felix is completely superior to Isaac though (Felix learns one field ability Isaac can't)

Edit: Poseidon is the most powerful, notorious and important boss in the entire series (well, Alex would be more important but we have not fought him yet)

Not Saturos, Menardi, Karst, Agatio, Blados, or Chalis?

Any one of hem has more dialogue and overall story importance than Poseidon, who really is mostly just a way to prevent you from entering Lemuria until you've sufficiently explored.

All that said, I think I'd rather take Sveta as the scond rep.

Super Smash Bros needs more villains and aside from Saturos, the rest are all Dual Bosses. Only the Dark Dawn pair are really "villainous" anyway and they are pretty lame in combat, mainly spamming items.

Anyway, the suggestion of Poseidon is slightly sarcastic, I don't think the series should have two spots off the bat, but if we did get another I want a villain and Poseidon seems as viable as any, given what we have to work with.

I would be perfectly happy to let Smash be the first place we get to fight Alex, if the alternative is Poseion.

So is the Little Mac trailer accused of sexism because Mac punches Samus, or because the gameplay footage only had him fighting male fighters?

Or both?

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!
