[up][up][up] Thanks. I did the same thing in a previous match, but that time Kirby was closer to the edge and I used F.L.U.D.D. slightly earlier during his Final Cutter attack.

It's weird how a move like F.L.U.D.D. can be useful against an opponent with multiple jumps.

I don't usually have items on, but off the top of my head I like Roy's, Yoshi's, Luigi's, Wario's, Bowser's, and Kirby's Final Smashes.

I don't use Pac-Man as much as I used to, but I love his Final Smash. Nothing more satisfying than chasing everyone around as a giant yellow circle.

Megamen is a very close competitor, though.

Who is your favorite third party character in the series?

I'm gonna go with Ryu (Ironic, since I'm not a big Street Fighter fan), Mega Man, Snake, Sonic, then finally Pac Man.

Who is your favorite third part character in the series?

I'll have to go with Lucas, since he's the only character I can think of who was from his series' third part.

Super Diffusion Beam is pretty fun, as are the nearly-identical Blue Falcon and Zapper Posse.

It makes me kinda sad that Ryu's Shinku Hadoken in Smash 4 is the not-all-that-great fireball version instead of the laser beam from the Vs. Capcom games.

[up][up]The only other option is Dark Pit, so yeah I'll have to go with Lucas as well.

What about the Koopalings, who debuted in Super Mario Bros. 3?

(To answer the question seriously, my fav third-party is, or rather, was, Snake. I just felt like he brought the most to the table, even if Sonic is more directly relevant.)

To some extent, Bowser and Peach could be called thrid-parters too, if you consider the Mario series to go Donkey Kong -> Mario Bros. -> Super Mario Bros.

Ah, but Donkey Kong goes Donkey Kong -> Donkey Kong Jr. -> Donkey Kong 3, not Donkey Kong -> Mario Bros. -> Super Mario Bros.

Fave third party characters? In terms of who I like to play as, goes a little bit something like this:

Ryu->Pac-Man->Mega Man->Sonic->Snake

(I didn't use Snake very much in Brawl.)

Sonic's just not all that fun to play as, honestly. I really wish they'd taken a few more cues from the Unleashed-onwards style, if nothing else, though his Homing Attack is borderline useless in its base form with how massively telegraphed it is.

I sure said that!

1. Mega Man
2. Ryu
3. Pac-Man
4. Sonic
5. Snake

[up] Sonic is even more of a pain to fight against, if you ask me. If you're asking for a fast-paced battle, you won't get one.

That said, Sonic definitely deserves his spot on the roster the most out of all the third-parties, considering the direct and significant impact he's had on Nintendo's history.

And if you ask me, Mega Man's MUCH more annoying to play against. Metal Blade, Crash Bomb, roll roll roll, rinse and repeat...

Oh, man, I'm not bashing Sonic's inclusion in Smash, just the specifics thereof- I can see why he was like the way he was in Brawl, but after the recovery from '06 that started in the better half of Unleashed, including a renewed emphasis on a sense of speed, it feels odd for Sonic not to have the Boost, at the least.

I sure said that!

It could be a mandate by Sega; I remember Sakurai stating that they weren't exactly the greatest third-party he's worked with on Smash.

Brawl has the excuse of being made while Unleashed was being made. And I guess for Smash 4 Sakurai didn't want to change him too much.

Hey, atleast you can emulate the Boost with a Speed Crasher badge?

Unless it's named something different in your region...

The whole "run into people to damage them" one.

But anyhow, I do wish Sonic had some more variety than just "different spin attacks"

I mean, yes, spinning is his main thing, but there are a few other things somewhere in the main series you could draw a few moves from, right?

I dunno, I think it would had been cool if the Homing Attack would had done the multiple target bashing thing, either with timed presses of B all Adventure/Unleashed/"Modern Sanik" style, or do the whole Lost World thing of lock-on and super speed bashing. Sure it'd be pointless in 1v1, but fun in teams or free for alls.

If they're not going to give Toon Link a Deku Leaf, they're not going to give Sonic stuff from modern games.

Granted, that example is just as disappointing (to me, moreso), so take from it what you will.

Well, Ganon has stayed as Falcondorf because Sakurai is too afraid of whiny fans damning things being changed too much.

It could be a mandate by Sega

I'm sure Sega is very much invested in representing the fact that Sonic had more than one way to trigger a Spin Dash in a handful of decades-old games.

[up]Meanwhile we have actual tourney players dropping the far more competitively popular likes of Sheik and Yoshi on the basis of being too different.

I'd like to think that Sakurai's fumbled over his own statements far enough that we no longer have to take his PR bait at face value.

Sakurai himself noted how much attention they were investing in revamping him during the Charizard direct.
