Personally, I prefer the air think that they would have said something if he wasn't playable. There's just been a lot of Ridley teasing. You know how Sakurai is.

Page-Topper. Why.

Of course, Metal Face's role hasn't been clarified, but he's almost certainly a stage boss. On the other hand, Dark Pit.

I dunno about teasing for Ridley as a playable character, but there's certainly been a lot of things people have interpreted as teasing for Ridley as a playable character.

It's not that there's no hope left in me that Ridley might be playable, but I'm just saying, what would a Ridley Mii look like.

I searched the Internet for, like, five whole seconds and found the only attempt anyone has ever made at this.

If Dark Pit is in the game as an unlockable fighter I will be angry.

Depends on the implementation. Straight clone would be kind of "whyyyy?", but if he, say, used a Palm, Cannon, (Dark Pit) sniping staff and the Silver Bow...

If Dark Pit is in and his Final Smash doesn't involve kicking all of his opponents in the face, I will be so upset.

it's probably be less annoying if clone characters were primarily unlocked via playing the character they're a clone of, instead of just playing anyone, getting your first unlock, and it being a character you already had but goth.

I've already said my piece on Dark Pit. Making him an ascended alt in the same way as Lucina makes the most sense.

@Zarek: I guess that's as good as it's gonna get!

And I still think Dark Pit would be fine as a complete clone if his personality is played differently.

logically it should be different, considering in uprising his personality is very different.

But he is a literal clone of Pit just the same. He has enough difference as a character to warrant a bonus appearance in Smash, but I think that giving him an entirely new moveset is pointless. Being the literal clone that he is, he already has the exact same physics and body frame.

I actually don't mind who gets in. I'm already glad Ridley will get in in some form. Although I'll miss Wolf if he's gone...

yeah but uprising allows several different types of playstyle. it'd be kinda sad if both got stuck with a single (and the same) one.

[up][up]Watch the spoilers, mkay?

[up]A fair point, but I remember Pittoo's usual weapon of choice (in nearly every boss fight involving him) being the Silver Bow. Both he and Pit use bows as their primary weapons, and as if to hammer the point further, the Silver Bow is stated to be a prototype of the Palutena Bow.

EDIT: Not you, it was my fellow Ridley cultist above you. I got Greninja'd...

Yeah. Uprising has a bunch of weapon types that lend themselves to many more potential movesets than Pit's using. Even though Dark Pit's a physical reflection who could fight the same as Pit at any given time, he could also be sporting, say, a massive heavy Club, or a pair of Claws.

Oh, and the Silver bow's a bit different. It fires massive arrows instead of barrages that actually deal more damage close up.

Of course, thu could give him his dark version of the First Blade, or any of his chapter 6 weapons.

[up]*8: That depends on the thing being interpreted. A lot of times when I hear stuff like that it could also very well be jumping to conclusions, like the shadow thing.

In general, though, while Sakurai does troll a lot, a great deal of the Trolling Creator heat he gets is less from stuff he actually does and more from people interpreting regular things he does as trolling when they likely aren't. In particular, he gets a lot of "I want him to do X, and he's not doing it. Since he's still being jovial while not doing this pivotal thing I think he should do, he's clearly only not doing it to stick it to me - ergo he's a trolling creator who enjoys messing with 'his fans'" heat - which actually happens quite a bit when it comes to video games in general.

ive only ever seen pittoo use the bow once, and every other time it was something different.

im not entirely sure what the other two were but his moves were clearly different. i think the first time might have been a club? there was a big, slow moving energy ball...

I don't think I'd like Dark Pit in Smash no matter what. Whether he's a clone or a unique fighter, I'd still think there's tons of far more interesting and more deserving choices than a palette swap of an existing fighter, from a series with 3 games.

I don't mind if he's in.Not like he's taking anyones spot,though I do hope he has a unique moveset.
