[up][up][up]Toon Link unlocks the same things in Hyrule Warriors not sure if it unlocks Link's racing suit in MK 8 though. I'd get him anyway, if only so he could learn some of my tricks grin.

I've only been getting amiibos with gift money but they're getting so expensive...the completionist in me is crying, but the miser in me is jerking my leash and saying "No!"

;p Maybe when I'm older and looking for things to piddle away my fortune on.

I'm planning on getting my hands on Mario and Samus- Those two and Link is plenty, y'know?

Now, if only I could -find- Samus anywhere...

I sure said that!

I found Samus easily on Amazon.

My next Amiibo is likely going to be either Lucina, Mega Man, or Sonic.

I believe the Link and Toon Link amiibo do the same things.

Marth almost didn't get into Melee, but one of the people at NOA really liked to play as him, so he was kept. As far as I've heard.

[up][up] Well, to be fair, Sakurai probably thought Takamaru would be like Chrom (just another blue-haired swordsman).

But still, that's kind of a silly reason, considering we've had stranger.

[up] IIRC, Marth and Roy were originally going to be region exclusives, but their popularity saved them.

Wii Fit Trainer really is not a weird character choice. I wish people would stop saying that. Wii Fit is one of Nintendo's biggest recently-made franchises.

Most people expected characters from RPGs, platformers, action-adventures, and the like. Not an instructor from an exercise aid. Especially since WFT isn't really a "character", per se.

[up][up]As a series, yes.

Did you really see all that much fan support of either trainer prior to their SSB introduction, though?

I mean, yeah, no, don't get me wrong here, Wii Fit Trainer really seemed to come out of nowhere when she was first announced; no one saw her coming. But she just makes perfect sense in retrospect.

The difference between Takamaru and Ice Climbers/Pit is simple. Ice Climbers/Pit got their games released in the west. Takamru did not. They were all obscure NES characters, but that little boost means a lot when choosing the retro rep. Marth meanwhile was part of a very popular series that already had 5 games, with a 6th on the way. Duck Hunt took the retro spot, and while I'm not a huge fan of him he did it very well. Takamru probably needs a revival to get in.

We must also remember that, prior to his appearances in Brawl and Captain Rainbow, Little Mac had not appeared in a game since 1994. I am almost certain that if Punch-Out Wii didn't happen, Mac would not be in the fourth game.

I think I thought of a better fangame idea than modding Wii U and taking out characters, just build my own fangame from the ground up and include characters that I'd like to see in.

Although I might end up just doing a more "traditional" fighting game featuring all characters I plan to buy amiibos of, plus the characters I listed that I would put in the prior named Wii U fan mod, plus Mewtwo and villains of the third party characters. (which would also be the characters I'd like to see in the above idea)

At first I was surprised that there's actually something like that for Sm4sh but then I realized it was a Brawl mod.

NLG definitely gave him a more modernly-appealing makeover.

It helps that they redid his stats so he wasn't quite so absurdly small.

I sure said that!
