Almost any fan of Pokemon ever will tell you the same thing. The 90% thing might be an underestimation, though.

I suppose I'm part of the so-called "10%" that still likes Pikachu then. May its electric red cheeks endure for many, many more years and jolt many, many more opponents in battle.

It's probably more likely to happen with older fans, but that's still a pretty big overestimation.

Did somebody say Lucario had bad colors? I don't think they are the greatest, but they are not bad. Besides default, Lucario has a green, purple, and black alt and those colors look fine.

Smashachu may have been scaled up to Raichu size, but doesn't that mean that Raichu will be scaled up too?

Priority would be placed on Pikachu's properties rather than the theoretical Raichu costume's, naturally. Robin and Lucina being very notable recent examples of such.

@82349: Same here, though that video is just another reminder of how much range Marth used to have in his attacks compared to now.

Raichu would be nice to have as an alternate costume, but since Pikachu is the Series Mascot, TPC will pretty much continue whoring him out as the years go by.

The Smash fandom is full of people who see nothing wrong with simply shrinking a character from their canon appearances, if it means they get to make it in.

@82355: Oooh! That was me!

I guess they're not bad, but they just seem really same-y compared to what Charizard and Greninja got.
I really dig the green/purple one though.

I kinda like that Lucario has a costume that's his default with darker colors, I always thought his default colors were a bit too light.

The Green/Purple Lucario color is my favorite one, too, along with the Purple/White one.

Come to think of it, I've never really had a problem with Lucario's colors, though I did wish they would have added his Shiny colors as an alt. Though sometimes (particularly in Brawl) I sometimes had trouble distinguishing the Light Blue/Lighter Blue color from Lucario's normal colors.

Now that I think about it, I can really only name a handful of characters that don't have a single bad alt. costume (opinions of course). Ike, Dedede, Lucas, Marth, Peach, Palutena, and Toon Link.

Forgot about Dark Pit and Zelda is close, but the alt. with the really blonde hair is unappealing to me.

The extent of characters without bad alts for me is, off the top of my head, Mega Man and Kirby.

Though in Kirby's case it still annoys me that his Stone and Hammer don't become monochrome as well when he uses his Chalk colors.

I think Marth does win in overall quality. Marth is even able to make the green alt. look really good when it seems like other FE characters (Robin and Lucina) can't.

Dr. Mario, Link, Wario, and Mega Man don't have bad alts for me. Because I love Black Market Mario, Fierce Deity, and overalls Wario

While I'd like to see Raichu get more love, I think it should be done with actual quality, not a poor alternate costume.

I like Pikachu too, honestly. He was boss in Smash 64, and they made him fun for me against in Smash 4. I preferred Pichu in Melee, and the only Pokemon I much liked in Brawl was Squirtle, although a slight bit of Ivysaur too. Rest didn't do it for me gameplay-wise(although they were very good choices regardless to be in the game).

I feel like Ridley was mentioned somewhere on this page... Facepalm.

I'm both surprised an not surprised that you guys spent so long on the Raichu thing. I don't mean to sound like a dick, but I hinted to my opinion on what arguing with PMC is like.

Is that supposed to be a bad thing, or something?

In cases like Ridley where the amount of shrinking they'd have to do it is absurd? Yes.

But adjusting size by a little bit to make them playable isn't bad

And ROB is the size of a figure.

Obviously those two are exceptions, but they also don't have any other characters from their series to be perspective to.

Ridley has to be relative to the size of Samus.
