strawberry: And yet Smash Flash 2 is allowed at tournaments for some reason.

That's different: That's a flash fangame with a small(possibly smaller than Project M? I dunno.) following in tournaments. It's also not a "mod" of an existing game.

The difference is that Project M is a Game Mod that requires alteration of Brawl. Smash Flash is at least its own entity.

Okay. So, the whole fight between Project M and Smash Flash 2 fans is completely pointless, then?

The Kirby franchise needs another rep. I nominate Queen Sectonia: she can be a fast, large, lightweight sword wielder with teleports. Her Final Smash could be her fusing with the flower and going into the background to shoot missiles and laser beams.

[up][up]It really doesn't, though?

Like, between Kirby, King Dedede and Meta Knight, there's really not room or need for anyone else from that series to be playable, though it'd be nice if Bandanna Dee got in as an assist of some sort.

I sure said that!

Kirby, Dedede, and Meta Knight are the most recognizable characters from the Kirby series anyways, though I agree that Bandanna Dee would probably make a good fighter.

Mario has 9, not including Donkey Kong. Fire Emblem has 5. Pokemon has 6. Legend of Zelda also has 5 (though one is a clone and two are the same person in different outfits). Kirby only has 3. It's not the only franchise that needs more but it does need more.

As a huge Kirby fan, I would like another rep as well.

But... I personally would go for Magolor.

Donkey Kong is the only one that "needs more", but that's not exactly just "needs more playable fighters" so much as "why are there no Donkey Kong Assist Trophies?"

This is the first time I've seen someone who thought Kirby was underrepresented. I mean, the series has more stages than the Kid Icarus series for crap's sake.

If I could add another Kirby character, though, it would either be Bandanna Dee or maybe Bugzzy.

It also has two Assist Trophies and a good deal of items otherwise- Maxim Tomato, Star Rod, and Warp Star.

That's pretty good, all things considered.

Yeah, it has a lot of non-characters but Sakurai has stated that he deliberately keeps the Kirby characters lower than the other main franchises so as to not seem biased.

I think Bandana Dee would be a good choice.. and no one past that. 4 fighters is a healthy amount.

[up][up] That isn't necessarily a bad thing. Maybe he heard about how much the characters got accused of being a Spotlight-Stealing Squad in Brawl and didn't want a repeat of that happening in 4.

Oh sure, I might have added one more Kirby character, but I'm not the one who makes the game.

There isn't a whole lot of important Kirby characters that could be easy to put in, anyway. Outside of the aforementioned Bandanna Dee and maybe Galatic Knight, who else is there that's recognizable?

What we really need is more Metroid representation and have that third character be Dark Samus. Let Smash be 3 variations of Samus.

I doubt we'll get another Metroid rep until a new Metroid game comes out with a recognizable face to throw about.

I mean, Metroid's doing better than F-Zero or so on at any rate. Yeah, it's a spin-off 3DS game, but that's still acknowledgment at any rate.

And potentially more if those Metroid Prime 4 plans ever take off.

Don't give Nintendo ideas.

I think the reason why Metroid gets the shaft is because it's not that popular in Japan.

I'd say what it has is pretty fair. We have Samus, Samus as depicted in one of the two best Metroid video games on the GBA, three Assist Trophies, and two memorable locations from Metroid history (one for the wrong reasons.)

...sure, both are lava-based, but at least Pyrosphere doesn't have any lava gimmicks. Kinda funny how it's the Metroid stage that's arguably truest to the Metroid series.

No, it's because it's not popular anywhere. For reference, Splatoon (which launched on a long dead console) has outsold every single Metroid game. Prime only got over 2 million because people didn't get what it was and it was eventually bundled. Otherwise the series is a consistent million seller, which is decent, but hardly great.
