Yeah, would be cool to choose certain AT to spawn more than others like the other items.

But NVM, Im sure they will be like Pokeballs where its random characters, still would be cool if for example Captain Falcon has more of a chance of spawing Samurai Goro than lets say Mario.

Since Sonic is now a playable character, I'm hoping for Nights to appear as an assist trophy.
It would be strange and awesome if this character appeared in SSBB.

Shadow Hog · Post by **Shadow Hog** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 3:34 pm

Yes it would be. I don't think he'll be a playable character (if he's in at ALL), but he'd make a good AT should another Capcom character get in.

Zeta · Post by **Zeta** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 3:36 pm

We should wait till the FIRST Capcom character gets in. : p

Shadow Hog · Post by **Shadow Hog** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 4:05 pm

"another" as in "a different", not as in "a second". :P

Opa-Opa · Post by **Opa-Opa** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 10:35 pm

"a second" yes. Because deep inside we know Megaman is gonna be in it.

And his AT will be Protoman, not any other Capcom character.

Anyway, I really don't get why so many people think they would put Geno in it. Geno is cool and stuff, but he's from ONE game made 10 years ago by SQUARE. It would be incredibly random to put Geno in it.

He didn't even have any personality, either. He was just there to take up space in your party till you could replace him with Bowser.

Well, it's confirmed that Lucas plays differently from Ness. But the "until now" quote seems to indicate Ness still won't be coming back regardless, which is lame.

Which has already been met with a somewhat predictable, if understandable, outcry from the GameFAQers, among others.

Black Rook · Post by **Black Rook** » Thu Nov 08, 2007 1:16 am

That fool! Does he not understand that we live in a world where Lucas and Ness can peacefully coexist? If Pichu and Dr. Mario are also cut, I'll pretend Ness heroically sacrificed himself to destroy them, along with Young Link.

This wouldn't be such bad news if Nintendo weren't stubborn bastards about releasing Mother 3 in North America. Ness was someone I knew. To me, Lucas is still just some kid that looks like Ness.

Zeta · Post by **Zeta** » Thu Nov 08, 2007 1:18 am

I wouldn't have minded so much if Lucas was just Ness in a different costume, but actually changing half of his moves seems like it'd be worthy of keeping the old kid in, as much as Luigi is in every game and he's just Mario with a couple of different moves. I guess Sakurai really hates Mother 2 and really likes Mother 3.

This wouldn't be such bad news if Nintendo weren't stubborn bastards about releasing Mother 3 in North America. Ness was someone I knew. To me, Lucas is still just some kid that looks like Ness.

Motto. To me, Ness is a character from a fun and original game and Lucas is from a depressing version of that same game that tried to mix Earthbound with Evangelion.

Ngangbius · Post by **Ngangbius** » Thu Nov 08, 2007 2:40 am

As much as I like Earthbound/Mother 2 and seeing that I never played Mother 3(yet), this really doesn't upset me. Lucas was meant to replace Ness in Melee 'until the news of the Mother 3 delay.

Zeta · Post by **Zeta** » Thu Nov 08, 2007 2:42 am

Mother 3 is Mother 2 + Link's Awakening + Angst. It fails. Angst really doesn't belong in series with a character who has a constantly vacant smile and attacks with yoyos.

I also like how nearly every other series except for Mother is worthy of two characters.

Ngangbius · Post by **Ngangbius** » Thu Nov 08, 2007 7:42 am

Well, Mother isn't exactly a popular franchise no matter how insanely devoted the fanbase is. Metroid is a more well-known series despite leaning more towards the hardcore, and I would say it deserves to have a bit more playable charcters than Mother.

Like it or not, the roster simply a popularity contest. The more successful your franchise is around the world based on sales and tenacity of the brand, the more representation it will get in this game.

Zeta · Post by **Zeta** » Thu Nov 08, 2007 12:01 pm

Too bad Metroid only has two important characters in the whole franchise that aren't giant brains in a jar while Mother has a large cast of interesting and important characters.

FlashTHD · Post by **FlashTHD** » Thu Nov 08, 2007 2:23 pm

Also so sad that fucking nothing in Brawl is ever enough for you.

Concerning Lucas, i'm a little suprised there's so much bawling over Ness getting the chop and so few are trying to overanalyze this:

ThereÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s a character named Ness who has appeared in the Smash Bros. series up until now, and Lucas is very similar. They are from the same family of PK users.

That's a plot point I don't remember coming up when I skimmed through the Mother 3 dialogue. So did Sakurai or the NoA translators get the wrong meaning across?

The updates have been either shitty ("look! This is a bat!") or downright trollish ("I bet he would've made an awesome playable character 2 bad 4 j00 he's not! L01, I call the shots, bitches!") lately.

Locit · Post by **Locit** » Thu Nov 08, 2007 4:40 pm

It's basically a free continuous preview of the entire game- as long as there's something even remotely interesting every few days I don't really see a problem. I didn't think there was any pretense of 100% grade-A information every day at any point, especially after the delay was announced.

Besides, if there's intense outcry from pissed off fans every time they show a new assist trophy that's not a playable character I can't see much reason to reveal any more of them. Unless it's to taunt them. Because they're fanboys.

Of course if you're <i>really</i> sick of the updates you can just quit cold turkey.

Isuka · Post by **Isuka** » Thu Nov 08, 2007 5:58 pm

I'm pissed at Capcom because Arthur was just a Helper. They could've made him fucking playable!
I'm really, really pissed. Seriously.

Post by **Esrever** » Thu Nov 08, 2007 7:16 pm

Personally, I wish they'd never started this Smash Bros blog, because then we wouldn't have to suffer through thousands of whiny little internet bitches crying about how there isn't an earth-shattering update every single day.

I love the way that, with an update schedule that is going to result in a minimum of 200 blog entries, there are still people who are apparently honestly surprised that each one isn't a huge announcement. How the hell can there possibly be 200 or more mind-blowing revelations about a single game?

"Oh man, Wednesday's update sure was shitty, way to go Nintendo."

NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT YOUR MISPLACED DISAPPOINTMENT, YOU NEEDY FANBOY WANKERS

Wooduck51 · Post by **Wooduck51** » Thu Nov 08, 2007 8:04 pm

I'm hoping that earth shattering announcements will end as of the next few weeks, knowing too much about the game before it comes out ruins a great deal of the fun because there are no secrets to uncover. One of the greatest parts of Melee was that going into it I knew nothing about it, therefore every unlockable thing was like opening a Christmas gift, and it was great. Now depending on how much information Sakurai keeps on divulging, I might have to avoid the internet in order not to learn everything about this game before it comes out.

Well, if we are going by franchises that has a huge cast of interesting characters, then Fire Emblem should get a larger representation in this game than say Kirby. However, that's really silly since most of the FE characters aren't recognizable to a large number of folks since it is not a multi-million selling game. Metroid sold 13 million games since it's creation, spawned a few comics, and at one point was considered to be developed as a live-action movie. Mother has none of this, no matter how great the setting and characters are. Fire Emblem and Star Fox despite being part of the 'smaller group' of Nintendo's major franchises are possibly bigger than Mother.

Zeta · Post by **Zeta** » Thu Nov 08, 2007 8:08 pm

Yeah, I honestly would have prefered one "good" update per week than days and days of crap. Or even one glut of a little bit of good information than what he's doing now.

Wooduck51 · Post by **Wooduck51** » Thu Nov 08, 2007 8:19 pm

Which is having fun with people because he knows that right now they are hanging on his every word. He probably looks forward to updating about the font style because it will throw the internet into tumult; and then just when people start to stop paying attention he will post an update about how it will harness the power of the sun and bake your meals for you.

I can honestly say I have no real updates that disapoint me--but I'm easier to please than most.
