I'd like to see Giga Bowser return in some form, since he's pretty much a Smash staple at this point (two games is enough to qualify him as a "staple", right?), but maybe not as a Final Smash. I think I'd rather him have something that comes from his home series, like maybe growing gigantic and throwing punches or maybe something with the clown car?
Giga Bowser is one of my favorite additions to the game. He's really neat and shows off just how awesome a boss can be while being a clone. Final Smash or not, he's fun to play as and fight.
I prefer his boss status, though. If only because being able to KO him is great. He was always not fun to play as in Brawl, but hacks/codes showed he wasn't outright horrendous in Melee to play as. Arguably worse than Bowser, though.
Considering they removed the Red Shell in Brawl, and the Metal theme as well, nah, two games is not enough. 3 seems to be the case instead.

Shadow?Oh, this happens on Fighting game forums all the time.
Fighting game developer: "I feel that many of these game focus too much on an ever-shrinking audience of hardcore gamers. To survive, we should try to appeal to casual gamers, who've never played these types of games before."
Fighting game forumites: "What?! Why the hell are they trying to aim OUR games at noobs who want everything handed to them? Don't they know these casual gamers will abandon them at the first opportunity? How can WE enjoy these games once they've inevitably been dumbed down?!"
It is very difficult for casual and hardcore gamers from understanding each other. Such as how I portrayed the later in a way that's probably, in hindsight, a bit strawmany. I'm not sure where to go from here.
EDIT: Best thing about Giga Bowser? No health bar.

"What's out there? What's waiting for me?"Dedede won, and then told Bowser to cut the crap and focus on the new objective.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.No Final Smashes appeared in the SSE. I can't even remember if the Smash Ball was on during any battle...
Likewise, it would've been a pointless boss fight anyway. Giga's different in Brawl than in Melee and would be undefeatable if they didn't make him entirely different. Why make two versions of him anyway? One is enough.
Shadow?Pointless for 2 reasons:
The Dedede and Bowser fight is not nearly important enough to be anything close to a climactic battle.
Giga Bowser appearing there would've been a case of boss battle transformation from out of the blue.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.So Phosphora is pic of the day... I'm assuming she's an assist trophy, in which case all those "only playable characters have separately modeled fingers" thing has just been blown out of the water. Actually she looks more lke a regular trophy on closer inspection?

pearlina brainrot affects millions of people worldwide. if you or a loved one are suffering from pearlina brainrot, call 1-800-GAY-NERDSFor a Wii U pic Phossy is looking a little low-res. I hope we aren't just importing models from 3DS games and not touching them up, now.
Not sure what she is since no comment is up yet, but if she's an Assist Trophy that's cool. She was my top pick for a Kid Icarus assist trophy. If she's just a regular Trophy, then that disproves the "no cross-pollination between console and handheld" possibility that I've been fearing, which is also nice. Hoping for the former, though.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!She appeared in Chapter 14 as the main focus and boss of the chapter, and makes a few brief appearances at the beginning and end of Chapter 20, to help Pit out with the Lightning Chariot and to tell him off for yelling at goddesses.
So not as notable a role as, say, Viridi or Dark Pit, but more prominent than most of the one-shot characters like Arlon or Dyntos. Could easily be Assist Trophy material especially given her fighting role, but the pic seems to suggest just a regular trophy. Shame, since she'd have made a good assist.

I'm going to be mad if the caption is something like "happy birthday KIU, here is a trophy instead of something interesting like Palutena".

I miss how he used to be pummel-able, and I like the idea of facing him as a boss rather than a regular gameplay mechanic.
Actually... they could just give Bowser his Clown Car and call it a day.
