Anyway, the punchout responses were not overly negative. They were a little more from the sample but there were just as many "who dat is?" "yay, he finally made it" "oh, he's popular overseas" and "Now that I saw his movie, I want to play as him".

I posted on that Legends of Localization article that I'd expect the exact opposite to be true when/if Lip is confirmed as playable, where it's Japanese and a minority of Western fans that are excited while everyone else is all either "huh?" or "oh well, she looks fun enough".

Except with more butthurt whining about Sakurai not putting in Goku (who never had a ghost of a chance anyway...).

Why is Goku such a popular pick anyway?

He's not even a video game character. He has absolutely no relation to Nintendo or Smash Bros. whatsoever.

Wrong Goku.

That said, I dunno. More retro game representation?

Yeah, he's possible. Doesn't feel like he's extremely important to Nintendo, though, but he fits all the Brawl criteria. Third Party, didn't originate from a Manga/Anime, has a Nintendo game appearance. Not sure if he's popular enough to warrant a place, but just his design alone is good. That type of staff looks like it could be quite fun.

So, uh, who is captain rainbow? And how close does he come to Pink Captain Falcon in terms of Fabulousness?

[up]Captain Rainbow (or as you might know him, non-specific action figure) is the protagonist of a 2008 wii game of the same name. It is about Captain Rainbow trying to make something of his life by being friends with discarded nintendo characters, most of which did not come out outside of Japan, much like Captain Rainbow itself.

We've got a page for him.

Far as I understand, he game involves an island where forgotten Nintendo characters are living in a sort of retirement.

[up][up]Yeah... There's Punch-Out obscure, but then there's Only came out in Japan obscure.

Admittedly, I might be willing to give him a chance if, like fire emblem, it was a series of games continually receiving new installments, which lot's of overseas people have been clamoring for... but...

Fun fact! Little Mac is in Captain Rainbow, and his goal is too become a champ again.

Most people (myself included) want him because he's be such a crazy addition to the cast.

Captain Rainbow is also notable as the most natural fit of skip's characters.

I sure said that!

#37438: Mar 2nd 2014 at 3:24:13 PM

Well the difference is Fire Emblem had 5 games and counting at Marth's debut. Captain Rainbow had one.

I'm not saying it's impossible (because who knows with Sakurai) but I wouldn't rate his chances as high.

Sheriff/Wild Gunman I would be a little more open to than Captain Rainbow but I would still need more convincing. He'd be slightly behind Lip.

Yeah no.

Their only real similarity is that light blue is their primary colour.

What is it with people in this thread and ruining jokes?

[up][up]I think it's funny to ruin humor. Anti-Humor is my favorite kind of humor.

So, what are the chances exactly that Diddy and Dixie are actually a tag team and the Smash Staff is just doing a superb job at hiding it? Because I thought that was a cool idea...

Also, a bit late, but [tup] to whoever hoped Baby Mario would accompany Yoshi this time. That would be awesome.

I have zero expectation of Diddy/Dixie tagging, but I would like to point out that Zelda has been confirmed, but we've seen no sight of Sheik.

But we've seen almost all of Diddy's special moves. We've seen the rocketbarrel, the peanut popgun, and we've seen him in close proximity to a banana peel, which suggests his Down B, if nothing move.

So that would place his side B as the only move I feel we haven't seen yet, which could have been replaced for a tag-in move. Doesn't seem likely to me.

I have a message from another time...
