I was actually one of those people as well.

Ice Climbers, we all know, couldn't be handled on the 3DS version at all.

Lucas and Wolf, while having some different smash attacks and very different properties to their specials, overall would have gotten highly overshadowed by custom Fox, Falco, and Ness.

Ganondorf also got overshadowed by Captain Falcon... And the entire cast of Brawl. Besides it's not like they couldn't just give those character other customs.

This may seem odd, but I hated super-fast characters in Melee. It was very difficult for me to pick up items with them. That's a big reason why I liked a character who was Falcon-but-slower. It helped that Ganondorf was a lot faster back then, so he was still comfortable to use. I also liked how his F-Air was much easier to land than the Knee Smash.

Keep in mind, all this only applies when talking about Melee (and Project M).

[up][up][up]I'd also like to point out how Fox and Falco trade Blasters for their Standard 2 specials. It's not like characters are 100% not allowed other character's specials as customs, is my point.

Heck, half of Ness' Lucas-like customs aren't even very Lucas-like.

Who said I don't miss Lucas/Wolf/Snake/Ivysaur/Squirtle/Ice Climbers? It was a dick move cutting the first three of those. The latter three are a bit more understandable, but still unfortunate.

Also, Ganondorf feels powerful. He's just so damn satisfying to use. Project M Ganon, which is closer to canon, just feels... stunted.

Smash is not fanfiction! It's virtual action figures.

Mii Fighters are custom action figures. The ones you make up yourself are original but everything else has been pilfered. tongue

I have one of each type, with the specials I like. My own Mii is the swordfighter, and I used two of my OCs for the others (brawler Aya, gunner Jubal).

Currently the only one I made is a Brawler Demi-Fiend. Still trying to figure good move analogues for him though.

Keybreak (Long Runner)
#65514: Dec 6th 2014 at 9:58:48 PM

I made three of each and my own Mii's a Brawler.

I'm not sure why, but I just like the hard direct hits. Though I like swordfighters on principle and gunners just look cool.

So in this game I'm finding that my mains are Mario, Fox, Samus, Pikachu, and my Mii, but I want amiibos for Fox and Samus and Link, the lattest because I want the spinner in Hyrule Warriors.

But they really gotta start working on other games that use them. While I'm cheap by nature I'll gladly spend money for Nintendo if they keep making things I want.

Other than IRL folks I know, I made Jack Black the heavily-armored swordsman, Admiral Ackbar the gunner, and Zoidberg, whose class I don't recall because I made him to fill the 3DS's "make 8 mii fighters" challenge and I've never actually used him.

Frankly, I'm more worried about Mewtwo's voice than final smash. I never liked DAN GREEN's portrayal, other fans would be annoyingly up in arms if either female voice was chosen, and they can't just grab his Melee VA after thirteen years...

[up]I thought that was a comedic exaggeration at first. I thought. Then I watched the actual video...

@Numbuh: Wow, thats awesome video ._. I mean, not just that he beat 9.0 master core as ganondorf without damage, but I love that he taunted master core just before he did the insta kill wave attacks and dodged them all :P

The thing I don't understand about how subtle Ganondorf's changes have been is that a lot of other characters keep being reinvented. Luigi just gets weirder and weirder, Falco got changed a lot between Melee and Brawl, Kirby's dash and hammer keep getting changed... and yet Ganondorf's still stuck with an up-tilt that seems so obviously like a game designer's embarrassed shrug.

(I think his up-tilt should be some sort of pimp-slap over his shoulder, a quick but forceful wave of his hand upwards that functions as basically an anti-air jab with comparable properties to his actual jab. Something to use when the up-smash is too slow.)

[up][up][up]I'm expecting the female VA to be used, honestly (if not going The Other Darrin route); it seems like the easiest route to go. Unless they plan to have it speak English lines, they could get away with doing what they did with Melee!Mewtwo and cutting out its Japanese quips.
