Greninja was mostly ignored in favor of everyone panicking over their favorite deconfirmed characters and more importantly, trying to figure out what was up with Ridley. So in a way, Greninja managed to slip under the radar, with the only major backlash coming from big Mewtwo supporters who thought it was hurt.

Greninja the not-Mewtwo is hated for a similar reason as Decapre the not-R. Mika, as far as I see.

Difference being in one case people WANT a clone, in the other they don't.tongue

...Mewtwo isn't a clone though. That's the exact reason why people want him back.

[up] Tell that to the Lucario fans. -facepalm-

He is a clone. Of Mew. But that means nothing here. tongue

I remember when people complained how Melee made Mewtwo too weak and was a poor representation of him.

If he comes back ever he needs a revamp in his gameplay. But Greninja and Charizard as his own character is hype enough. Pokemon is more than Gen 1 and Smash's pokemon choices should reflect this.

[up] The (probable) removal of Squirtle and Ivysaur, and inclusion of Greninja definitely swings the pendulum away from Gen I a bit more. Pikachu, Charizard and (because let's be real here) Jigglypuff are Gen I, while Lucario and Greninja are not. Gen I is still the majority, and has the most representation, but at least it's only 60% of all characters, instead of more than 80%.

Ridley's too big, so they could only put his right arm in. I wanted his left ankle.

If Ridley is included, I fully anticipate an Event Match against him under the effect of several Super Mushrooms, with the title or description mentioning that "he's... Just too big!"

I sure said that!

Ridley's so big, he wins every match because the characters can't fit the stage.

Ridley is confirmed.

As a stage.

Yes, I'm aware there actually IS a location called "Ridley" in the Metroid games.

That reminds me. Are you guys For Fun or For Glory? I find myself For Fun when I'm bored, but most of the time For Glory.

For Fun most of the time.

I'm probably going to go with For Glory most of the time, but when bored I'll hit up Super Weenie Hut Juniors For Fun.

I don't have issues with stages, just a few of the overly broken items. ^u^;;

I'll more than likely alternate between the two, though FG will probably be the more common pick.

[up][up][up]I don't quite expect that; I think the numbers will be quite even. A lot of folks, me included, enjoy the game's massive potential chaos. The fact that For Fun won't record loses certainly helps.

I'll probably stick with local multiplayer. I don't care much for online features and random opponents.
