They would've had to turn him into a kick-boxer though...

not really, it would be a stretch for attacks while he is falling, but it could keep with the theme.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Now THAT would make the best title ever. Just that, "Smash Bros Brawl Dojo Official Update Thread - Fuck you"

Newcomer : KAZUMA KIRYU

"Mains" are for jerks.

wtf.

 

[SuperAngelo64]

Anyone who says Little Mac couldn't have been playable because he's "Just a boxer", doesn't know how complex boxing is.


Also play as Balrog or Dudley in a Street Fighter game to see how many moves you can make from "Just a boxer".

The problem with assist trophies is that nearly every time people will wish that the assist is a real character. :lol

 

[The_Ayertosco]

I want him. He would completely destroy Snake and he has X-ray eyes.

 

[UpperCaseN]

Vin Diesel? They could do an F-Zero style stage with the Fast and Furious

no thanks

No, a Pitch Black one

 

[JCX]

There's marth count going on now? Considering I kept predicing him for an update, I'll say he's in. I almost wanted to start a ban bet for it.

 

[Cosmonaut X]

[Teasel]

it's been a while since we had an adventure update but i also want the apparition of the knee.... choices choices
oh this is also the second time we get an assist trophy character update after a pokemon update,i wonder if it's a coincidence or not
anyway sin & punishment is not a nintendo game so i don't see any reason for it to have an assist trophy,if i could guess all they saw was a girl character with a machine gun

 

[crowphoenix]

As much as Marth is the greatest I have been losing hope... I mean Ike is just too close to Marth to really have both...

Ill be honest Marth >x1000 Ike IMO

I think you guys are forgetting that in Ike's profile it was his strength that was commented on, not his speed. I fully expect him to be a slow bruiser like Ganondorf, which means that Marth should still be in as his main ability was his speed.

Also, Nintendo with the Bait and Switch. I was so excited when I saw Little Mac, they even set him up as a character then ended with He is an assist trophy.

 

[farnham]

I pray for

Ganondorf

Captain Falcon

Megaman

Zero

and

Eirika.. (or eliwood)

 

[SuperAngelo64]

I pray for Megaman in this game as well.

But really, it's not going to happen.

Having Sonic AND Megaman in this game would just be insane, it wouldn't even be a game anymore.

It would be a disc-shaped idol of pure orgasm.

 

[Teasel]

actualy i have a better guess for the sin & punishment assist trophy

 

[Cosmonaut X]

actualy i have a better guess for the sin & punishment assist trophy

Well, could be - the original description certainly was vague - but it's certainly not an AW character. As for the question of ownership, don't Nintendo hold the rights to the game anyway?

 

[Darkpen]

what's with the title change. Did I miss something?

 

[Grecco]

I think Lil Mac is pretty awesome as an assist character.

 

[Conrad Link]

Its a Punch Out!!! thing.

Hmm, well, after the original N64 game I had some Nintendo characters on my wish list for the sequel:

- Ganondorf
- Pit
- Mewtwo (lol I just figured he'd be a good 'bad guy' character from the series, and hey I was right!)
- Little Mac
- Red/Ash

I'm amazed, with todays announcement that list has now come true... while not completely in the way I wanted (DAMN YOU, LITTLE MAC WAS SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYABLE!!! >:| ) I'm still happy they will all have made appearances in the Smash series and I can say my young selfs Smash Bros wish list eventually came true... sorta.

 

[Gekkonidae]

I don't get it. Little Mac is the principle character in a beloved series. He's well remembered and actually has a moveset that involves fighting. How is he not a staple of the Smash Bros. series? Can someone explain this to me?

I was shocked that Little Mac wasn't in Melee. The fact that once again he's been left out of the playable roster has me just flabbergasted.


Sigh . . .

 

[Jme]

what's with the title change. Did I miss something?

Apparently you didn't play Punch-Out!!, because this was one of the solid tips your trainer Doc would provide to you before the start of a new round.

 

[jts]

Join the Nintendo Fun Club today?

I don't approve this update sp0rskurai.

 

[bachikarn]

holy fuck Little Mac!!

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

wait, meowth isn't an assist tropy? whattttttttttttttttttttttt

 

[Conrad Link]

Well thats the thing, I didn't think it would be that hard to get Little Mac as a playable character, seen how his whole game is sorta, you know, fighting. It wouldn't be that hard to make move-sets for him.

;(

I knew Red/Ash would be a tough one to make but they're doing THAT, and they don't do Little Mac? :lol ......... ;( damn.

 

[Darkpen]

wait, meowth isn't an assist tropy? whattttttttttttttttttttttt

uh, he is

Apparently you didn't play Punch-Out!!, because this was one of the solid tips your trainer Doc would provide to you before the start of a new round.

ohhhhh....

but yeah, never played it :/

 

[bachikarn]

oh what the hell, he is just an assist trophy?

lameeee

 

[NeonZ]

Well thats the thing, I didn't think it would be that hard to get Little Mac as a playable character, seen how his whole game is sorta, you know, fighting. It wouldn't be that hard to make move-sets for him.

It wouldn't be hard, but it probably wouldn't make a very interesting character either. He'd just have several types of punches, and maybe a few headbuts, from A moves to B moves.

In a standard fighting game it'd work, but Smash's characters generally have much more varied abilities. The only way he'd make it would be with a significant redesign (of his abilities), I think.

 

[Zerodoppler]

WTF? Assist trophy? Nothing but bad news about this game lately.

 

[worldrunover]

Disappointing that he's not a playable character, but the assist trophy list is looking more and more impressive.

 

[Donkey Thong]

Count me in among the people who think Little Mac would have been an AWESOME playable character. Oh well. At least he wasn't completely snubbed.

 

[UpperCaseN]

I think he would be uninteresting compared to the others, I mean you've got guys who can fly, throw fireballs, throw boomerangs, etc... and little mac? he's got punches. I'm glad he's not playable

 

[EktorPR]

WTF? Assist trophy? Nothing but bad news about this game lately.

Negativity to the extreme. Good one, Zerodoppler ("would read again" yadayada).

 

[Haunted]

yay Little Mac!

All the 2nd and 3rd tier hopefuls for playable characters are getting relegated to AT status. :lol

I like his model.

 

[Ramenman]

I think he would be uninteresting compared to the others, I mean you've got guys who can fly, throw fireballs, throw boomerangs, etc... and little mac? he's got punches. I'm glad he's not playable

Agreed.

If he had been, all the people bitching right now about WTF AT??!!1! would have been bitching a month after launch because of "omg lame".

 

[Staccat0]

lots of gay jokes flying around in this thread... thats too bad.
Either way, Mac should have been a double update with Drill Dozer.

 

[castle007]

Again, it is an OK update

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

The more assist trophies the better. Megaman assist tropy <3

 

[hoverboarder]

Little Mac's 'Nigga Stole My Bike' Final Smash would have been awesome.

Damnit.

 

[EktorPR]

The more assist trophies the better. Megaman assist tropy <3

I support this. It'd be the only way Viewtiful Joe could join the playable roster.

@ crying MM fans: fuck off

@ Haunted: Joe f0r prezident1!11

 

[ZealousD]

and little mac? he's got punches.

You could do some cool stuff with him. Make him really resistant to smash attacks or make it so you have to do more relative damage to him to send him the same distance as other characters.

 

[Xenomiggs]

I was about to say that marth wouldn't be in it, but then I remembered that only one fire emblem character has been announced as playable. Marth will probably be the second playable fire emblem character.

Doesn't it sound a bit boring to have too highly similar characters from the same franchise, though? I mean, at least Marth and Roy looked different, but Marth and Ike looks exceedingly similar.

If they're going to use another blue-haired character from the Fire Emblem universe, I'd rather have Hector or Lyn (though Lyn is already out of the question).

So yeah, I don't think Marth will be it. If anyone, it's gonna be Roy -- or perhaps Eliwood? We'll see.

You have to think about it from the Japanese point of view - they KNOW both of these characters from their actual games. They played them and remember the characters and their personalities and the stories they were in.

If you took someone who didn't know who Mario and Luigi were and asked what you thought of them as two separate fighters, they'd probably remark "Don't they look too much alike? They are both wearing the same outfits, only different colors!"

Also Marth is the equivalent of a main representative for the series (being the star of both the first game and an additional game).

Furthermore, Ike has a different moveset from Marth and a different weight class. They aren't going to just trash Marth's moveset, and I can't see them giving it to another character. (They haven't done anything like that so far with any of the new Brawl characters)

He's not going to be out guys. (Even MORE SO now that the Fire Emblem entry he starred in is getting remade for DS)



P.S. - Roy has little chance, his game was not popular at all... he's more popular as a Smash Bros character than a Fire Emblem character. However, his moveset is cloned from the much more popular Marth... I'd be really surprised if Roy survived the cut.

Fire Emblem DS is a remake? Color me surprised...and left out of the loop.

 

[MrCheez]

Yup, I'm too lazy to get you the link to the thread, but there are already screenshots of Marth in the game.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

To those who really want Mega Man in : do you mean the original Mega Man or X ?

I like X better, mainly because MMX was my first Mega Man game.

 

[MrCheez]

Both

Classic Mega Man because he is more iconic and I love retro characters

X because he has a cooler, more interesting design/moveset potential, and I enjoyed his games more

As long as we get one of the two and not any of the other crappy desgins I'll be happy! (Classic has a much much better chance than X, btw)

So Zero and classic MM then

 

[Raging Spaniard]

Im positive there will be no 3rd party assists, if you got the license for one, youll make him a full character, not just an assist, thats not smart.

Little Mac as an assist makes perfect sense. Nintendo never goes for such obvious choices for characters, they dont "do the easy" if youve read that article and nothings easier or more predictable than having the boxer character be playable.

My point, if EA was making this game, Little Mac would be playable.

 

[koam]

IS LITTLE MAC PLAYABLE?

EDIT: GRR He's not

WTF is an assist trophy?

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

lol. It's a non playable assist character, like summoning a pokemon.
