What's wrong with Sonic? Would you rather have Shadow the Hedgehog in the game? I'm thinking there may be a/some Namco characters in there as well.

Sonic would be the most popular so if they don't include him, they're hardly going to include Knuckles. How would Knuckles not ruin the feel of it?

Where did you get the impression that I meant only Sonic from?
 
This is where I got it from.

I was replying to a post about Sonic; I didn't imply there that I wanted another character in his stead. They're just as bad! :p
EDIT: My question was misphrased there, I was asking why you thought the dislike of Sonic wouldn't extend to the other characters. I don't see how not wanting Sonic can equate directly to wanting Shadow.

Shadow would translate better to a fighter because he has a weapon (for range fighting) on top of his hedgehog abilities (for melee fighting). You just don't like any of the sonic characters, admit it. :D
 
God no. I can't stand the BS extras in Sonic games now. Sonic, Tails, Robotnic. No filler please.
 
I think Paper Mario versions of Mario characters would be kind of cool...but they wouldn't really fit into 3D, would they?

Mr. Game & Watch worked well in Melee, and he was only 2D, so there's no reason to not have a 2D Paper Mario.

I still really want to see some Pikmin stuff in the game! What about a character, unlike all others... a swarm of a few hundred tiny Pikmin! That would be so cool. :cool:

Deoxys is in Pokeballs now :D
 
You know what might be interesting is a Mario Galaxy stage, complete with some of the physics.

Imagine the crazy combos you could unleash by knocking an opponent sky high only to have them get caught by the gravity of a planet that sends them into an orbit around it and possibly back to you for more damage.
 
Seems like they're actually going to explain some kind of story this time unlike it's predecessors. There also seems to be an actual antagonist, and not some random giant hands. Or it might be the hands again, but we'll know why this time.
 
I can't stand scrolling stages and I don't think that looks as good as DK's similar looking level on Melee.
 
I think Rumble Falls will be pretty good even though i hate that Ice Climbers level. According to the description, this new one only moves up slowly, while the ice climbers level moves up and down quite fast.

michaelltd, that is a really cool idea. I would love to see a Mario Galaxy level.

Agreed scrolling stages aren't that great, this one has a ladder... what's the point when you can double jump anywhere.

They've introduced a new gameplay element. Jumping on eachother's head. That's pretty big IMO. I hope it doesn't change the game mechanics too much.
 
Todays= DK's final smash.

Must be DK appreciation fortnight.

I hope DK and Bowser get an overhaul. They're under represented in their smash form. Too slow, Bowser unerstandable, but DK is a eff'n gorilla/monkey, whatever simian, he should be super agile.
 
I think DK should be a tad faster to use also. Bowser should be the "slowest" by far. I can't wait to see what Peach's Final smash is! :eek:
 
So how many main characters are from Fire Emblem? I've never played that game. I only know Roy and Marth from Melee. Where does Ike come into the picture? It will be interesting to see how this character will play. So this is the first new, new character. I can't wait to see some more. :D

I think Ike is the main character from the GameCube Fire Emblem game.

That one is the only Fire Emblem game I've played, but it would be my guess that each one has a different set of characters in different settings, like Final Fantasy and Tales games.
 
Ike IS from the gamecube game. I have 3 FE games. They're sort of like FF. similar universe but different each time and different characters.
 
I hope it's more than just the simple brawls in the last two Smash Bros. It looks that's all it is, except now a story is told with movies and your enemies aren't just the cast of characters in Smash Bros.
