So what's everyone's most wanted obscure Nintendo character?

Either of these guys from Pro Wrestling, since theyre the most unique and would also provide the best movesets out of the Pro Wrestling cast:

Id prefer Star Man, he could be a little mac/captain falcon hybrid clone, and id soil myself.

The Amazon is also rad, he uses standard wrestling moves but tends to bite and choke out people as well.


Aaaaaaand theyd give nintendo to add a third skin to the Smash Ring stage with VWA on the mat and Go Fight! Scrawled on the side. Itd be perfect and I'd die.



Edit:

The main theme should work so well on Mac's boxing ring stage. Would be so hype to hear it.

HNNNNNNG yes

Oh, now that's really easy.

At this point though, I'd be ecstatic if the Elite Beat Agents/Ouendan were an Assist Trophy.

 

[Captainbojanglesiii]

Oh, I wasn't asking, I was just bringing up the quote from Dokapon. My friends and I have been playing through story mode the past few months, and we cringe every time he says that.

Another quote:
"MEOW I'm angry!" (when you try to rob his store)

I feel as though I should play this game if only for the puns. Wanted to respond witb another pun that last time, but meow I can see how that would be a tad unnecessary.

Spoiler

I kit of course. Cat puns are always needed.

A Wii U port would ideally only let you play with the touchscreen.
Playing higher intensities/multiplayer would demonstrate why the controls are as they are. You need the immediate reaction and you just can't get that with stick-based controls.

I'd never want stick controls, but hopefully any hypothetical port would support Wiimote aiming.

 

[Chunky]

Honestly, I'm fond of the pointer controls, and I wish I could use those. Some options would be nice, even if touchscreen controls would be superior.

Options are always good, I suppose.
But when I'm scrubbing the floor with you in Light v Dark, you'll know why

 

[Cody_D165]

So what's everyone's most wanted obscure Nintendo character?
My default choice is Doshin the Giant, purely out of how funny he would be to see in the game.

One of his special moves could be peeing on someone, like how he put out forest fires in his game.

Any robot from Teleroboxer.

That game makes a Virtual Boy worth owning.

Are they really obscure?
EBA are pretty well-know I thought!

 

[Neiteio]

Oh snap, just saw there's going to be a Bayonetta 2 Direct

I know I already used this gif earlier today, but

 

[MAtgS]

I wouldn't say Krystal's design is inherently sexualised, and unlike Bayo it's not a huge part of her personality either. I don't want her in Smash though, but only because she's a shitty character and not because she might appeal to the furries.

Because the rest of the Star Fox cast are such glowing examples of award-winning character development.

Starman reminds me of Illbleed's Killerman.

You're right, it only sold ~180,000 in NA I think...

Damn shame!

What is everyone's opinion on using Smash with the n3DS? Anyone think that c stick will make a big difference in competitive play?

I doubt it will make a big difference to me, but I totally see the competitive scene going nuts for it

That's roughly the same as Xenoblade's numbers in Japan - though EBA didn't have any other territories it broke a million in.

I am a huge C-Stick fan. I can't do Smash attacks well without it.

It didn't too great, and there were some decent expectations for it as an entrant in the licensed music game craze. Even Reggie was disappointed! Hence why so many copies were printed, I imagine.

 

[Captainbojanglesiii]

Obscure characters, huh? Probably one of the Paper Mario sidekicks or an excitetruck or something for that weird factor.

 

[-Horizon-]

Oh, I'm surprised. Was expecting the thread to be locked. Or at least have a title change lol.

I can't comment on competitive play, but I sure am looking forward to it I always like using the C-stick.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I recently got my Japanese Capture Card!

Did you get your 3DS modded or is there an external solution now?

 

[KelpPlankton]

Added my Nintendo Points the other day too!


I plan on streaming the game on Twitch at release for a few days. I've taken off work and everything =D

Yo, request here: when you have to go to work, or sleep, or whatever, could you leave the stream/game running in the 'Spectator' mode? Make sure it can run without any controller input like it did in Brawl(it'll take like 5 minutes to test that), and it'll just go through tons and tons of recorded online matches without needing to do anything.

Fun to watch for those of us who don't have a JP 3DS system but also great for getting a lot more footage out there of basically every character.

 

[Kyzon]

Instant double dips if there is a Wii U version.

Yeah, that's the easiest way to get some money from me.

Paper Mario is not obscure.

 

[BuggyDClown]

Obscure?

How about Gumshoe, he comes to mind from my days playing NES growing up.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Hell yeah! I can't wait to get my n3DSXL!

It'll save my circle pad a bit more, and a slightly bigger screen. Heh.

 

[Chunky]

Oh, now that's really easy.

At this point though, I'd be ecstatic if the Elite Beat Agents/Ouendan were an Assist Trophy.

Oh god, imagine having to choose between Chorus Kids or the Ouendan/EBA...
Eh, I'd probably just be happy any of them got in. Although a RH rep probably has more move potential.

And I probably shouldn't have looked up Ouendan, since I came across this,

Some news sources, such as GameCentral on Channel 4's Teletext service in the UK, gave it positive coverage, leading to the game becoming something of a cult hit among gamers who were prepared to import it.

and now I'm sad for poor, defunct teletext
I was one of the importers! (although it wasn't on teletexts missive, which doesn't make it a surprise it got turned off. But still)

 

[Captainbojanglesiii]

Reggie's response to the poor sales:

A random sidekick from Paper Mario would cetainly be obscure to the general public. Trying to stay realistic here. It's not like we are going to get some random NES character from a game no one has heard of.

Is that a fedora + trenchcoat combo?

 

[Captainbojanglesiii]

Well, damn.

 

[Golnei]

...what exactly is your point? We're not getting those either.

 

[BuggyDClown]

Yupp, Gumshoe is an old or slang term for Detective.

 

[Spinosaurus]

Oh god I'm thankful I don't have to choose between them lol.
In an ideal world we'd have both the EBA/Ouendan and a RH rep. Right now I'm at least hoping for a RH character because at least they're kinda likely. (If the leaked roster isn't all of it)

We need a rhythm representative!

 

[georly]

...what exactly is your point? We're not getting those either.

I wake up every morning, open the web browser on my phone, go to the smash website, and am disappointed it's not ice climbers. Then I cry in the shower.

 

[Chase17]

too soon. I'll miss them

 

[Jawmuncher]

Did you get your 3DS modded or is there an external solution now?

I thought only the Vitas needed to be modded now.

 

[The Bankslammer]

Also since EBA/Ouendan were already mentioned, here's my other top pick:

I've already fantasized about movesets and KYLE HYDE COULD TOTALLY WORK OK

nintendo pls free him

 

[IntelliHeath]

So what's everyone's most wanted obscure Nintendo character?

Takamaru and Duck Hunt Dog

Both are more likely to be in the game which would make me happy. Video first tho.

 

[The Captain]

...what exactly is your point? We're not getting those either.

We've gotten obscure characters before.

Made sure to use Brawl's render of Pit, since back then he was pretty obscure.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

If there's an external solution for the 3DS, I'd be all over that.

 

[HiroTSK5]

Any Game freak character not from Pokemon would be nice.

 

[Captainbojanglesiii]

Well since my picks weren' deemed obscure enough, I'm going with Ryota Hayami from Wave Race 64. He had a trophy in melee as well.

 

[Storm Kyleis]

Almost anyone who grew up in the NES era knew of pit. Heck, I knew ice climbers, and pit is way more famous than them.

If he and Cing weren't dead, I could see him being an assist trophy by now. We live in a cruel world.

would love this. at least an AT.
