I don't even get why Chorus Men was chosen for the old "leak" in the first place. A trio character really seems like it'd get way too chaotic and unreasonable.

Plus, there's better Rhythm Heaven representatives.

I wouldn't mind Karate Joe for Rhythm Heaven. He could kick pots at you.

I was never a fan of a Rhythm Heaven character for Smash... until I tried to design a moveset for Marshal. And I started doing that way after Gematsu was crippled. So while I'm not exactly a RH character supporter, I have warmed up to the idea now.

Not to nitpick (oh who am I kidding, it's what I'm best at), but Splatoon isn't an FPS. "FPS" refers to First-Person Shooters; Splatoon is a Third-Person Shooter.

I'd probably go with a character that represents the whole series, so you can have things like the Lockstep guys, the golfer from Fever, maybe even the Moai statues.

Karate Joe would be my first choice. Failing that, I guess Marshal would be a good option.

The Wandering Samurai would be cool, but I have no idea how he'd be meaningfully different from the half-dozen sword users we already have.

[down] Or him!

@Zarek: Bite me on semantics. Keeping facts straight while following a hot thread is hard. [lol]

But honestly, the best thing that could come out of an Inkling being revealed would be the trailer. Because all I'm imagining is 5 minutes of Inklings getting into a firefight with Mario with the FLUDD. Super Mario Sunshine Deluxe, mofos. cool

Inklings look awesome, but I think they'll be the frontrunners for the next Smash. You need to save something for the next installment after all.

Apparently Famitsu had a tease about Dark Pit, stating he was in the game in some capacity. Which we already knew. Never thought I'd see the day where Dark Pit could be compared to Ridley.

Dark Pit is almost certainly an alternate costume, like Male Wii Fit Trainer and the Robins. Especially since they're practically the same. He even uses the same weapons as Pit.

For some reason, I'm now imagining Ridley and Dark Pit sharing an introduction trailer, in which Ridley is about to gobble up one of the veterans and then Pittoo kicks him in the head in slow-mo ala (spoilers for KIU) the Underworld guardian in Chapter 9.

After I made that list of all the playable character debuts, I started wondering how the Assist Trophies compared. And as I did that, I noticed...there are a lot of Assist Trophies from more recent generations.

About a fourth of the playable cast are characters introduced post-2000, but meanwhile just over half of the assist trophies debuted post-2000.

Dark Pit could easily be playable. As long as they make his model a little unique. Sakurai loves the hell out of Uprising and a quick clone instead of the original Palette Swap is easy to believe. Lucina shows that.

I'm not worried about his moveset, just making sure he and Pit can be easily told apart beyond simply colors. If they are an identical model, I'm sure the metal form will have different colors for each. Possibly a Light and Dark Gray version for the obvious choices.

Sakurai throwing in Dark Pit as an additional character would strike me as excessively self-congratulatory.

I sure said that!

#54294: Aug 20th 2014 at 8:50:07 PM

-Looks at how much Uprising stuff is already in there-

Yep, sounds like Sakurai, honestly. Last minute clone is the idea, like Lucina and Dr. Mario would be.

For the record, Dark Pit over Medusa does annoy me, but having two different playstyles for Pit isn't bad either.

No, y'know, Sakurai has every right to include stuff from Uprising- It's recent and fairly popular, and has a great deal in common with Smash, especially the multiplayer. The issue is that Dark Pit is identical to Pit in terms of ability, to the point of playing exactly like him in Uprising.

I sure said that!

Dark Pit inherits Pit's Brawl moveset. Problem solved.

Also, what he does in Uprising and Smash would be different. Shall I note Ganondorf's clone status? Basically, we can't use "moveset" and "canon" when Sakurai completely ignored that stuff before.

As I said multiple times, the model may be an issue at best. Moveset, how can we say that when him being able to glide alone would make him worth giving him a slot in Sakurai's eyes(and we only know Pit cannot glide, and Meta Knight cannot glide in one particular move). Lucina proves that entirely. Or using his older moveset, since Pit's got some differences as is.
