The Super Smash Brothers Brawl Topic SPOILERS

Problem with adding too many human characters is that it loses its charm. If Isaac and jenna were added... I dunno, it just feels like too many humans. Like it would become a normal fighting game with those random non-human characters that the majority of the gaming population thinks is gay.

Aside from that, anyone who owned a nintendo would know who ice climbers are. I dunno how old felix is, but I'm 21 and I remember seeing the game on ye-old boxy box.

Cloned characters are fine IMO. These aren't clones like dynasty warriors or other games, these are clones with heavy modifications. Fox and Falco have very different A attacks, Falco is much heavier and moves faster, his B isn't spam-able, his down B isn't stationary, his up B has a different charge time, his grabs have differences, and his smashes are different too. No reason to get rid of him.
No one bitches about Ganon being a clone of Falcon. Or Lucas and Ness. They are very different too though. Different A moves with changes to the speed, weight, etc and some B move modifications.
Toon link has the most drastic weight and speed changes of all the clones. TBH, I play falcon and ganon pretty much the same. I play Fox and Falco pretty much the same. Lucas and Ness too. Toon Link and Link are so damn different though that they really can't be played the same.
Clones are fair game as far as I am concerned.

ROB should die. So should snake and sonic. Wario too, only because he mattered so little.

Oh, and Eliwood is a fag. I'm glad they choose Marth (who is in multiple FE titles) over Eliwood (arguably the worst Lord in the series.)
I would say that Deedee and Metaknight should go too, but since Kirby is such a strong series, they should probably stay.

No, no don't get rid of Dedede and Meta Knight!
I'm not really good with them, but I love them. In a very gay way.

I found it amazing that Hal made super smash and the kirby series but it wasn't until the third game that kirby actually got some reinforcements. Dee3 was a nice additions to heavy characters though.

I don't mind the clones, it's just that like Ganon who is nothing close to what cptn falcon is as a character got the same moveset as him. That's my main and only problem with the dorf as a character. Characters from the same series who obviously are alike(such as ness and lucas being almost the same in their games) sharing similar movesets don't really bother me.

It's just that last time namco did a sequel (Soul calibur V) they dropped a lot of characters people liked. If they actually make this game it wouldn't surprise me if they try to do something new and fresh and clean out some as well.

The only reason I didn't get SC5 is because they dropped all my favs (Xanguah (spelling?), Cassandra, Taki).

So yeah, I think dropping characters in fighting games is bad. The only time I would think it is ok to drop a character is if they had only been in the series for one game.

Feel the same way. They removed 9 characters, 7 of which I liked: Cassandra, Sophitia, Xianghua, Amy, Taki, Talim and Seong Mi-Na. And no, clones are not the same. I liked these characters, not copies of them.
At least they kept Voldo and added Dampierre, but that's not enough for me. Plus, new characters don't seem very interesting, or at least not enough for me to spend a single penny on that game.
And no story mode? Come on...

But anyway, yeah, I hate when they drop characters. I prefer Mewtwo over Lucario (who can go lick big sweaty hairy balls), and as for clones, I liked Pichu, Roy and Dr. Mario.
I can deal with the removal of the clones, but I really wish they had kept Mewtwo.
Also, they can nerf Meta-Knight, but I hope they keep him; I like him.

Oh and I agree with Lucas about the human thing.
I'd say one or two more "realistic" human wouldn't hurt the game considering the majority of them are unrealistic ones.

Geez, it's like a girl genocide.

[Cerebus]

...now that you mention it. Others are Setsuka and Zasalamel. Like... out of 9 characters removed, only one's a guy.

Long post about the difference between ness and lucas

Same could be said about Fox/Falco/Wolf, Falcon/Ganon, Luigi/Mario, etc.

So, Namco is going to be handling a lot of the development.
The Roster is NOT going to be bigger than Brawls.
It might be even smaller.
 

[Archem]

I hate it. I am firmly against the removal of characters, and that was one part of Brawl that pissed me off.

[Prpl_Mage]

Yeah that's what I suspected. They said from the start that they wanted to do something new. Getting namco and team sora to work on the game instead of hal and the boss himself proves that. They want to do something different and we'll get something different, people will be angry with it just like how brawl removed some characters. It will probably be a game worth buying but we'll still play the older versions. I like that, when games are more than just the same thing with more additions. That's what DLC and expansions are for after all.

[Cerebus]

Well, probably another game I won't get.

[fruckert]

I doubt I'm ever going to get a WiiU or 3DS anyways.

[Cerebus]

Why? You're not interested in the controller that looks like an even larger DSXL minus one screen?

[Meiscool]

If wiiu is hackable I'll pick it up.

If not then there is no point.
