Ridley's high up in Japan, too.

I'm personally surprised, since Metroid's been more successful in the West, but cool, the thing has a lot of fans.

Now all we need is for Sakurai to figure out how to make Ridley playable while still making him Ridley.

I'd like K. Rool. I hope he'd have his voice and appearance from Donkey Kong 64.

Maybe they can work in this song too.

Unless it's still owned by Rare.

  • Wonder Red nowhere in the Japanese chart* Japan confirmed for shit taste.

(In all seriousness though, I'm expecting K.rool and Inkling. Inkling because they're decently popular in both regions and is the headline for Nintendo's newest big IP, and K. Rool since he's #1 in both regions)

[up][up][up][up][up] I doubt that Sakurai would be convinced to make Ridley DLC this time around. That said, I hope that the fan support for Ridley changes his mind on him for Smash 5. That's why I voted Ridley.

Hell, I guess it wouldn't hurt at all to ask the community what they want him to do with Ridley if he actually decides to make him playable but don't know how. Valve asked the community what to do with Faceless Void's model, and it worked out fine.

Not personally fond of K.Rool, but I guess I can't reasonably say anything against our new reptile overlord. Custom Robo and Isaac are alright, Jibanyan and Arle are... uh, new to me... Inklings are great. The rest are terri- not ideal choices.

who the hell wants waddle dee and paper mario what is WRONG with people

I just want another rep for a franchise I love.
Well, way to make me feel bad!

I do worry I'm taking this too seriously, but, I don't know. It's all nice and good to talk about how nice it would be to see the characters we like in the game, but when people start making lists like "these are the top characters in the running" and the majority of popular characters are ones who wouldn't add anything or would actively detract from the quality of the game, it's like... augh. Stop. Why are you doing this.

b-b-but I want Paper Mario.

Okay so he's like 51th on my wanted list, but still.

I can see it being a fun addition, but the last thing we need in a Mario-dominated roster is a third Mario.

... As a costume, though!

Waddle Dee would be useful as an amiibo.

Paper Mario is...another Mario obviously, but he might be pretty different like Toon Link.

Still, I always prefer new movesets and K. Rool looks to be a lot different from Donkey Kong or Bowser.

... what does "useful as an amiibo" even mean?

Oh, by the way, I just remembered. Wasn't there some copyright trouble with K.Rool? Like, there's a reason the newer Donkey Kong games don't use him and the Kremlings anymore, right?

I mean for that new Kirby game.

As for K Rool, he's been around since the first Donkey Kong Country. I would think that Nintendo still owns him.

Nintendo owns K. Rool, I am pretty sure of it. They just hasn't been using him lately for one reason or another (Pretty sure it's because Retro wanted to use new villains for their DK games, not the same old thing)

Paper Mario would probably have a hammer instead of fireballs. And maybe his Footstool Jump would actually do damage. :P

[up]x8 But Waddle Dee has a spear! Unless Fire Emblem's getting another character, that makes him unique enough to warrant a spot. Besides, his moveset would basically be a copy/paste from Return to Dreamland with a few tweaks to fit Smash Bros controls.

Kritters have been showing up as recently as... well, Smash 4.

Plus Barrel Blast, which everybody seems to hate because of the random influx of Kremling characters.

Bandanna Dee would be a great Assist and that's about it. If Dedede still had Waddle Dee Toss, he'd have been a great rare result there, too.

But fully implemented character? Naaaaw.

Also, Mario Strikers had Kremlings as goalies.

And Smash has a lot of music from the SNES-era DKC games, plus trophies of Kremlings (including K Rool) and no attribution to Rare (when even Creatures Inc and Monolithsoft are named on the back of the box).

With that, and the recent re-adding of the DKC game and DK 64 to Virtual Console, I think it can safely be said that no part of any DKC-era game needs Rare's say-so, except for the Jetpac minigame in DK 64.

I have a message from another time...

This isn't quite the same circumstance- The Waddle Dee we're talking about is the one who wears a blue bandanna who started showing up in Super Star Ultra, and who later moved on to be a full playable character in Returns to Dreamland.

Mind, again, that I think Kirby really only needs or wants Kirby, Dedede and Meta Knight, but this isn't as low as begging for a Goomba or a Koopa or so on.

I sure said that!
