REGGIE FILS-AMIE FOR SMASH 4


Pull back your bias for a second and let's say, hypothetically, Smash 4 does get a "real world" representative.
While this is an unlikely possibility, I'd like to raise the prospect of Reggie being that rep. Sure, he may lack the iconic nature and importance that Mr. Miyamoto would provide in that role. However, Reggie has far more things going for him. One is a popularity with a Western audience - Nintendo has never really attempted to appeal to that market in the past Smash games, but it exists. Should Sakurai attempt to provide a character for that market, Reggie has proven to have a lasting popularity in the region. This popularity has also been lasting from Reggie's first appearance onstage at E3 2004, which gives him more longevity over "fad" characters like the Non-Specific Action Figure whose popularity lasted mere weeks. As long as Reggie stays on with the company, he isn't moving any time soon.

The second is that he has himself commented on the possibility of him being a Smash character. When a petition on the internet reached an astonishing 50,000 signatures for his inclusion, Reggie himself commented that should Sakurai want to use him, "his body would be ready". His twitter also later mentioned the possibility of his final smash being the "MY BODY IS READY SLAM". While we have not heard a stance from Sakurai on this (much like with everything else), it is very likely that Reggie and Sakurai have a regular correspondence or meet often to discuss things. In the context of this meetings, Reggie may have brought up the desire or jokingly threw it out there. Take that with a grain of salt, but even so, that means it's likely crossed Mr. Sakurai's mind at least once.


CONFIRMED! Sort of.

Notice: Mega Bidoof now owns this thread, replacing Kholdstare.



REGGIE FILS-AMIE!

Who is he?
He is the president of Nintendo of America! Why are you looking at this if you dotn know who he is?
He is well known for his famous line, "My body is ready!"

Why him?
Because why not?! Nintendo seems to be advertising him or making snooker every chane they get and making him say "My body is ready whenever he can."
There is also a change.org petition for him to appear in Smash Bros. 4, and it has a lot of signatures.
Even Reggie himself says he wants to be in Smash Bros, and said that his final smash would be "The My body is Ready Slam!"
I should also put Kholdstare's (the original owner of this thread) justifications for Reggie. They are "interesting".

  1. His body is ready.
  2. He's sexy.
  3. He has an established history with Nintendo.
  4. He's been at every Nintendo conference. Subliminal marketing, people.
  5. He's more iconic of anything that Nintendo's ever done than Mario.
  6. He is Haitian. With the social stigmas that exist today, minorities have to be filled, people.


I should also point out that he could be implemented though the form of Reggii, or Reggie in his Mii form.
He would look like this, and I'm guessing he would play the same as he normally would.

Moveset Potential?
As the change.org petition says, he can use Nintendo accessories old and new to attack. And chances are, he would use AT LEAST ONE My Body Is Ready attack!

Still say that Olimar should randomly pluck Purple Reggies. They could instant KO enemies.

Then the announcer will say, "Their body was not Reggie!" whenever characters are KO'd from it.

Aren't they the same person, or is it a different reggie?
It's the same person, but it would be the essence of Reggie (which isn't limited to a body) facing the powerful body he has (which is limited to his body, and is always ready).

Really, it's like a train crashing into a rock. Only one will survive. The winner is the one that is the most ready! :bee: ;) :smirk: :awesome: :psycho:

I'd rather have Miyamoto if we go this far. He's Mario, Link, Olimar and a handful other Nintendo character's daddy after all.

I think Reggie's Final Smash would be him transforming into a colossal Purple Pikmin, because he would feel like it and his body would be ready for the transformation.

Reggie Fils-Aime

Let's face it. Reggie is a shoe-in for SSB4. Let me list proof why:

  1. His body is ready.
  2. He's sexy.
  3. He has an established history with Nintendo.
  4. He's been at every Nintendo conference. Subliminal marketing, people.
  5. He's more iconic of anything that Nintendo's ever done than Mario.
  6. He is Haitian. With the social stigmas that exist today, minorities have to be filled, people.

Discuss.



I'm totally serious by the way.
Why does he keep staring into my soul like that

A petition won't help.
Not only is Nintendo unlikely to see it, but even if they did, the roster is most likely finalized at this point.

Shame, though.
EDIT: Signed, by the way. As fruitless as it is, I don't mind giving support.
