@Bad Wolf: Ah, okay. Yeah, that definitely is implying he's the first DK as is. At least, from your explanation. Also, that's how he acted like in the DKC games, doing the same thing.

It's possible that Nintendo didn't originally care till now? Then again, I think they are just not bothering to "officially" state it on their own, letting the game do the work for them. Makes sense.

So yeah, Cranky works as a villain.(although to be fair, he is only a villain in his young form. He's a hero now.) Anyway, I do like him as an idea. Him and King K. Rool could make fun roster additions as is. I like Dixie too, mind you, but I can see how Cranky would bring move to the table in the uniqueness department.

They also say he's the original DK in Snake's Codecs in Brawl, though I dunno if that's universal.

Medusa could be playable, with the giant monstrous Medusa head as her final smash.

I can't see K. Rool as a collectible trophy this time around, what with the Kremlings in Smash Run. He's either going to be playable, or a boss character like Yellow Devil.

E3 is really going to be interesting for the fanbase.

Next Super Smash Bros: Olimar has a new custom taunt where he makes notes on the various wildlife of the Smash universe.

...would have been cool if Snake hadn't done it first.

This whole week should just be Olimar making a nature documentary. The last picture of the week is a New Fighter.

Is Giga Mac actually a thing from the games, or did they just make him up for Smash Bros?

Do you guys think Nintendo Land will get some sort of representation here?
That would be neat. But you know what would be even better? Eggmanland.

@Fawriel: Heh. Remember, Donkey Kong Country Returns sold twice as much as every game in the Metroid Prime series put together. And Metroid has a decent fandom in its own right.

So yeah, just because you're not a fan, doesn't mean others aren't.

I just kind of assume that I'd hear about any sufficiently large fandom. Not entirely sure what I'm expecting, I admit... an active fandom thread in the forums, popular memes...? (There are actually DK memes on Tumblr, but they're more like something along the lines of a lesser Shrek meme.)

charmingly funny
Thank you. Not sure how I feel about this being the only real response to my question about what makes him actually appealing as a character on his own in almost three pages, but, thank you.

Giga Mac is a sort of Limit Break in Punch Out Wii's multiplayer.

The idea behind Giga Mac is to allow for a more typical Punch-Out!! fight in the multiplayer of Punch-Out W!!- Normally it's Little Mac vs. Little Cam, but as attacks are landed, a blue aura called "Giga Juice" fills up both characters' portraits. When it fills all the way, they transform into Giga Mac as the meter gradually drops, reverting once its empty.

I sure said that!

"The Pikmin and I have to be warry in this world. While exploring some kind of abandoned factory I found a big flying crature comming out of a hole in the wall. It was intimidatingly bigger than any other creature I've ever seen on this world!"

"Yeah, it's a shame. Here we are in an underground cave with all these lasers, and instead of having a rave we're using it for evil."

I don't know, what is there to him? ...all I ever heard so far is so vague, like "I like him" and "he could be unique" and "he's important" and "not a knock-off" with no reasoning given. Questioning the appeal of a beloved character always results in defensive arguments, but I literally want to know what the fuss is about.

Sorry it took me so long to respond, but yeah, along with the charming humor and variety in his appearances that Enlong mentioned, another particularly memorable act of his was seemingly defeating him and even having fake credits start rolling during his fight in DKC, before having him get back up for the second phase. There's also his somewhat demented appearance.

There's really no one worth adding into Smash at this point. All of the "potential" characters C-listers now.

The more I read your comments, the more you sound like you've lost all faith in this game. Not saying this as a criticism, I just trought it was funny.

[up][up][up]Ridley, Chrom, Palutena, and Mewtwo are C-listers in your mind? Those are all pretty major characters.

That's good. That means you don't have a reason to post nasty, unproductive posts like those any more, right?

Meanwhile, I'll hope for some more fun, relatively obscure newcomers. MOTHER could use some really off the wall rep I think.
