I can vouch that they're the only thing a lot of kids care about.
When I was little, I ONLY used specials, because they were "special" and I thought "special" meant "better".
As for Krystal, I don't really think she's likely because despite her popularity here, the Japanese fanbase H A T E S her from what I hear.

"It's liberating, realizing you never need to be competent." — UltimatepheerI always figured people focused on specials when they discussed how characters because they were the ones that were most easily recognized for people who don't actually play them or memorize the entire cast's moveset or something.
Of course you still have moves like Captain Falcon's 'knee of justice' that stand out now and then, but it takes more than a couple of those to make good comparisons.
Of course they hate Krystal in Japan, she's a Western creation that gets in the way of things.
@Baffle: At least Tingle will never get in.
@Blitz: And yet no one remembers Zelda's Lightning Legs. Probably because it's more difficult to land than the Knee Smash (which is saying something).

Y'mean the "Zelda's best special move is down-special" joke? (Because prior to Smash 4 turns her into Sheik.)

My Deviant Art account. There might be art there. Sometimes.Well as for the Lightning Kick, Falcon's knee of death is practically the same thing but on a better character so why would anyone even bother with Zelda...
Among other characters I think Zelda's moveset needs a rework. A League of Legends-style rework. They made the teleport broken good and they fixed Zelda's ledge problem but it just wasn't enough.

"Tell them to shut up and have some faith in me." - dead flashback guyYeah it would, don't do that!
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.So I'm wondering if anyone here has more currently used mains than me. Not sure if I can call all of them "mains," but they are: Bowser, Bowser Jr., Wario, Donkey Kong, Ganondorf, Greninja, Little Mac, Falco, Dr. Mario, Falco, Lucas, Charizard, Dedede, Roy, Mewtwo, Ryu, Mega Man, and Duck Hunt. So... 18.

Call me butter, because I am on a roll! 3ds friend code: 5258-0885-3903 Wii U: Bowser Charizardwell I'm great as Pikachu so I win.
Ironically, Pikachu is one of my lesser used characters despite the fact that I'm the best as Pika and he's my main. (The reason being is because my friends are literally no challenge if I use Pikachu, and to a lesser extent, Roy and Toon Link.) (Well except for one friend.) (I have trouble beating my one friend sometimes.)

Yeah, I was including being completely original. I dislike the sentiment that Wolf is a clone purely because of him having similar specials to Fox.
AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!
