Kirby's a girl?

Kirby is male.

Sakurai has stated that he intended for Kirby's gender to be ambiguous.

Really? Huh.

Both the anime and sometimes his games refers to him as "he" or even "guy".

@Keybreak: ...That doesn't answer the question I was asking. Like, at all.

Yes it so does. But indirectly and tangentially.

I'm saying that Starfy doesn't have Kirby's popularity and endless appetite, so he doesn't have as much image to promote as Kirby.

So even if Starfy is sellable, he isn't as marketable. ;p

Also all his Assist Trophy did in Brawl was spin around and hop.

But the game did do well. It certainly didn't prevent later games from coming here, since those later game don't exist.

Sure, but when you said "dismal failure in American, showing how Americans will never accept cute characters", it's just a case of semantics.

But if it sold well and got good reviews, that means it wasn't a dismal failure and shows that Americans will accept cute characters, if anything.

Then you should change everything on the wiki that conflicts with the facts.

So, have we already talked about the Famitsu info on some of Litle Mac's and Rosalina's special move variants?

In response to something a good few pages back, I think Rayman would be a welcome addition to the fray.

Granted, the Legends snafu and the dawn of the Rabbids were a thing, but I more fondly remember his exploits on the N64 (Rayman 2) and Game Cube (Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc), which was the debut of his current look (the shaggier hair, red thingy around his nonexistant neck).

Huh. I'd have thought that info would spark more discusion.

I, personally, am fascinated by how they managed to give Rosalina a move that's utterly different from her other moves while retaining the original move's animation (she waves her wand, but to cast a spell on Luma).

It's pretty cool stuff, but I couldn't think of anything to say about it.

The move customization is definitely my favorite addition to the game thus far, anyway.

Aww... The Lunge variations are a little disappointing. Firespin's weak, Shock's got no super armor.

Shock apparntly has longer reach and a stunning effect, though.

It seems like they want to keep the move variations relatively balanced with each other, so I expect we'll be seeing a lot of moves with some sort of disadvantage compared to the regular version, to go along with their bonus effects.

In my head I compared the move variations to TF 2 weapons, which isn't far off in [up]that regard.

Guardian Luma is hilarious, hehe. Who wouldn't want a mammoth Luma to protect them?[lol]

Guys, I'm sure I read somewhere that Luigi would be the only secret character revealed before the game's release. Since there are already 36 characters revealed, I'm starting to doubt myself...

So now that Sheik and Ganondorf are playable in Hyrule Warriors, are there any Smash characters only playable in Smash?
