[up][up] I don't think that's possible. Marth and Lucina already had very minimal gameplay differences, so even they differed just a little bit in their properties, they'd still have to take up two separate character slots.

I wouldn't mind if they kept Lucina and Dark Pit in 5 and differentiated them from their respective original counterparts to the point of making them semi-clone status. Then again, I wouldn't miss Lucina too much as a clone because we already have a Marth semi-clone that most people don't seem to mind (Roy).

I want a game that plays just like super smash, but is made of Pokemon. Like, all 700 of them.

Yisss. You know you want it too.

[up][up] Yeah, I mean, I wish there was like some more leniency towards clones. That they were more common so we could get more of the most-requested characters with minimal fluff.

Wouldn't that clutter the selection screen? Maybe have all the clones be a skin...

I still hate how people seem to think that Wolf is a clone of Fox even though that is not the case at all.

It is a character built in a way his specials parallel Fox. That's it. Lucas and Luigi are more of a clone than he is.

I've discovered that right when Bowser's item throwing animation is about to end he gets into a stance similar to that of his stances in Melee and Brawl: all hunched over and more animalistic. As soon as the animation actually ends though, he snaps back to his upright stance. So maybe Sakurai didn't initially plan on making him stand straight up?

hey're just the whipped cream on top of an ice cream sundae.

That's about how I feel about the "clones" we've got so far. Might be nice if they get differentiated a bit more for Smash 5. but I'm not dissatisfied either.

[up]That's an interesting theory.

In my experience, most ice cream outlets actually ask if you want whipped cream on your sundaes.

Fair enough.

Then they're like the little celery sticks that come with an order of buffalo wings. Or the little sprig of parsley sticking out of a rice pilaf. Or the sesame seeds on the bun of a hamburger. They don't really add much of anything, but they certainly don't detract, they make it look nice, and they have their fans.

Damnit, now I'm hungry.

[up] x5 It's the same case with Yoshi's Super Mushroom animation. For a frame or two, you can see his Brawl posture just before he fully grows/shrinks back to normal before standing upright as usual.

Not to mention Giga Bowser using the old moveset wholesale. So you can still go Bowser Kart.

I mean, it makes sense, considering Giga Bowser is supposed to be a more feral version of Bowser. It also helps to differentiate them a little bit.

I didn't know he was updating it, he's gonna have to update it again for the DLC characters tongue

It's a bit sad to watch now though, because of Iwata.

I wonder if the ballot fighters will get intro videos too?

And on another subject, does anyone else get really annoyed when you beat someone, and then they swap to the character you're using and beat you? Because I HATE when that happens, and that's almost the only time I ever see someone else using Greninja on 3DS For Glory too >_<

Pretty sure the ballot winners will get videos in the same style as the other DLC characters.

So... are we forgetting about the over representation on the Mario series? However, I think I know why, because as far as I know, this was made during the time when Nintendo was REALLY milking the franchise, and thus, The Mario series (even without Yoshi and Wario) has more characters and stages than Pokemon, Kid Icarus, and Fire Emblem.

I find it fairly inoffensive.

I just wish one of the Mario stages was Bowser's Castle.

I don't really care about the Mario issue. I do kind of wish some characters like Captain Falcon got new stages for the Wii U version. The only new F-Zero stage was on 3DS.

I'm not a big fan of how over-represented the Mario series is in Smash, but I understand why because it's the big franchise for Nintendo.

Though I usually play as the non-Mario/Pokemon characters and sometimes will use characters from the two aforementioned games (namely: Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Lucario, and Mewtwo. I'm counting Wario and the Kongs as part of their own franchises and not Mario's).

Has anyone made a Mii of Freddy using the Bear Mii costume?

Mario gets the most rep becasue Mario is the biggest gaming franchise. Pokemon gets a lot of rep because it's the second biggest.

And by biggest I don't mean just for Nintendo, I mean for all gaming franchises that exist.

Eh, I've felt like if there was a series that was getting too much attention it was Mario. But then I also realized almost all the characters connected to Mario ALSO have had their own games (the only one I can think of that hasn't is Rosalina, but Smash is the only time I've actually seen her).

Plus there's the whole 'Nintendo and Mario essentially founded gaming post-Atari era' thing. So it doesn't bother me too much.
