If I recall, he stopped tweeting because everyone interpreted everything he said there to be somehow related to Smash and/or it's development.

Like, he comments on playing X, and folks would go "OMG X is going to be in Smash" and the like.

Yes, that's makes them look more realistic. Which is what we're saying, their design is clearly more realistic than the rest.

Lightning has a legitimate Nintendo appearance. Well, that means she's possible. Likely/probable, I dunno.

Mind you, when I saw Professional Wrestling, I had no idea you meant the game. Which is why I was confused. Also, while Little Mac is pretty recognizable by multiple people, who was most recognizable in Pro Wrestling? Besides that, if Bowser is going to already be more wrestler-like(he did kind of feel that way in Brawl and Melee a bit), I'm not sure what a new Wrestler would bring here. Unless they're very recognizable already, then I could see a neat and workable moveset given. But for a pure Sports game, I think the recognizable bit is going to be more important than another character with Wrestling moves alone.

[up] Yep.

If we do get a Final Fantasy character I'd prefer either Warrior of Light or Terra. Cecil would be cool too but those two would be more my preferred picks for various reasons.

You know who would make an interesting inclusion?

Pulseman. Although that might mean that he and Pikachu might share the same Final Smash, Volt Tackle/Volteccer.

Maybe Pikachu could get a new Final Smash? Like his giant Electro Ball? It'd be kind of like Samus' Zero Beam, but as an actual slow moving projectile that keeps going down. I'm trying to think of a good example of it. More like a meteor, if you will. But it moves sideways, perhaps. Not beyond huge, so it's dodgeable, but still very powerful.

Shadow?

I'd prefer it if Pikachu kept Volt Tackle. It's his signature move after all.

You could give wrestler moves to pretty much anyone by that argument but they don't match up to what Bowser does in Super Mario Bros any better than his teeth/horn moves. The difference is that those teeth and horns are at least pronounced features Bowser has and could not be arbitrarily be given to as many, so why do it?

So who is recognizable? Good question, outside of Fighter Hayabusa in Japan not too many I imagine. What they could bring is important, namely a half-man half-piranha Amazon with his dreaded outlaw choke. (I'd say the perfect wrestler great Puma but I fear people would just call him a King knockoff)

I'd kind of like Volt Tackle to function more like Critical Hit, and look like an actual tackle.

[up]So a supped up version of Pikachu's side special with an electric orb surrounding him? I'd be fine with that. It would fit the game better at least.

I kinda like Volt Tackle as is though, just because it's a Shout-Out to Pulseman as it is.waii

As for Bowser, I don't think him having wrestling moves lessens the chances of having a pro wrestler character. (Exhibit A: Villager and Little Mac.) Whether a pro-wrestler character is likely is another story, but Bowser having a wrestler in himself means squat.

[up]Little Mac and Villager share one move at best. A wrestler would likely be very similar to Bowser if most of Bowser's moves in this game are wrestling inspired. I'm not even sure what the point would be since there are a ton of other characters that seem far more noteworthy even among old school games.

Also might I add, imagine hearing this in— wait, I might have posted that particular one before, so here's another one from his game that might also be a good fit:

True but if Sakurai specifically mentioned wrestling as his inspiration there are probably other similarities. We'll have to see.

I still think the most likely Squeenix representative is either Cecil or Terra.

#36393: Feb 19th 2014 at 7:17:10 PM

Yeah, their games are easily the most popular of the the Nintendo F Fs. Cecil is more likely given how Square promotes the fuck out of 4 but I think Terra is a better choice.

I wouldn't mind seeing Tiz or Agnés. Although Ringabel and Edea are leagues more interesting.

Barrett is pretty much the only FF character I can remember... so I'd like him, I guess.

You know who I want for square enix representation?

Demyx.

Because I am:

A) wholly unfamiliar with final fantasy as a whole

and

B) kind of an evil bastard like that

That post was more in direct response to you, asking for the older, less relevant IP to be included.
