Mach Rider would be boring (and "he" might be a "she", fyi). Duck Hunt Dog or Hikari/Gonbe would be much better to me.

Or even better, just give us an Advance Wars rep instead. It is an old school series with tons of games, but with only a boring AT in Brawl.

Sakurai refers to him as a "he" in Smash. So he'd most likely be male if he were to appear.

"After the destruction of his home town, Mach Rider jumped onto his machine-gun-equipped combat motorcycle and set off in search of a new home, destroying all the Quadrunners who got in his way. His motorcycle had four gears and endless ammunition. When hit, Mach Rider would break into fragments and then rejoin together."

I agree, he could be boring. However, that is up to Sakurai and the team.

Do any of you guys find mewtwo unlikely? I think he definitely has a big chance, since he is one of 2 most requested characters. But it does make me disappointed to think that squirtle and ivysaur will be cut, but snake getting cut would be even worse to me. Back to pokemon, does anyone find jiggly unlikely? I think he's easily in, since he's so easy to make, and I think that the original 12 will stay

I do actually find him unlikely I willingly accept the fact that I might the only one who thinks like that

There are numerous points for his inclusion, but for some reason, I just don't expect Mewtwo to come back. I would never say he's unlikely, though. Jiggly on the other hand I see no reason to not expect her return. She has just as much in her favour as Mewtwo does, only she hasn't been cut in favour of other things before.

EDIT: 13 posts, I see. Welcome to the cesspool we call Smashboards! :chuckle:

Hey everyone, I found this on the Smash Sub-Reddit.



You get 12 points, each character row corresponds to the point on the left. So Wonder Red = 4 Points, and Duck Hunt Dog = 2 Points, etc.

So if you only had 12 points, who would you choose? This is mine.

Ridley: Because Ridley.

Bandana Dee: Awesome character, if FE can have 4 reps, so does Kirby.

Sceptile: Because the Fire-Water-Grass starter trio.
Ugh, Why do Simon Belmont and Isaac cost so much?

Ridley, Shulk, and Bomberman I suppose.

Correction, the trophy writer referred to Mach Rider as male. Unless you believe Sakurai wrote the descriptions for all 290 in Melee and 544 in Brawl.

I do believe that (not the owner of the original post, btw). I think he's even credited as the writer in all Smash Bros. games. He is very good with descriptions, as he's able to say something, but leave just enough information for us to figure out, especially in the PotD. He wrote Snake's Codecs, the Star Fox calls, and all the trophy descriptions in Brawl, and I believe he would've done the same for Melee, and that he'll do the same in this Smash.

when the first smash came out I was probably 8-9 and when melee came out I think I was 10-11 maybe and 15-16 when brawl came out or something like this.

I remember really wanting Bowser, Wario, Wolf and Sonic in melee.
Then for brawl I wanted Sonic, Wolf, Krystal, Ridley
And now I really want Ridley and Krystal (and I need to retrieve mewtwo.) I usually get about 2 guys I want everytime, so far no dice tho.

Time to stop lurking and start playing Catch-Up.

For that point game everyone's been doing for the past few pages, I'm going to take the easy and extremely selfish route:
Mewtwo (5)
King K. Rool (5)
Chibi-Robo (2)

Also, with how many times I've seen BluePikmin's name being tagged, you would think that it was his birthday.

Speaking of obscure retro characters, perhaps Sable's AT confirmation will usher in the Era of Sutte Hakkun.

I think I'm done playing Catch-Up, for now.

Edit: I'm not done. Happy 1000th, @ TORNADO BUS DRIVER TORNADO BUS DRIVER !

1 Mike Jones - It's an understatement to say I've wanted this guy in SSB since 1999.
1 Saki (2) - I had my hopes he'd be playable this time around. Instead of more european medieval swordsmen.
1 Sukapon (3) - The main character of one of Nintendo´s first and only fighting games.
4 Takamaru (7) - Samurai are cool. Samurai with ninja weapons and techniques, cooler.
5 Isaac (12) - It was either him or Simon, but I went with him because Golden Sun needs more love.

They chopped off half a leg to my Mike pic. :V

I honestly think the writing is why his hand is as bad as it is, but he's mentioned that he stays for days on end just writing and experimenting. His loyalty to the game is crazy.

The only thing standing in Mewtwo's way is the possibility of Sakurai saying he doesn't want him in the game.

What if we hypothetically get an AT disconfirmation week this week?
Good. I want Isaac. I want Shulk. I want K. Rool and Ridley. I want all sorts of retro characters. I'd much rather know if they were ATs now then have to wait until launch to know. It's not like not seeing them would magically make them playable.

To be fair, that could just be the translator. IIRC, the original Japanese trophy didn't contain gender-specific language.

I have just enough for Mewtwo, K. Rool and the Chorus Kids. :D

What do you guys prefer more, getting Dixie and k rool, or Isaac and Ridley?
K. Rool and Isaac. K. Rool because I want him to come back, and Isaac because I think Golden Sun deserves recognition more than any other unrepresented franchise. As for Ridley and Dixie, I also think they should be playable, too, but if I have to choose two, Isaac and K. Rool.

I was 5 or 6 when Melee came out, and 12 when Brawl came out. I'll be 18 in 5 days, and I'll be in college when the next Smash comes out! :)

So at this point, are we getting a retro character? Or did we already get one in the form of Little Mac?

We're left with Mach Rider, Bubbles, Muddy Mole and Duck Hunt Dog. Who do you guys think we're most likely to get?
As I stated in another thread earlier, I'm pretty sure this is going to end up being our retro:

I wonder if he still thinks Kaptain K. Rool is King K. Rool's brother. Certainly hope not.

That was a mistranslation on our shores part, I'm afraid. We fed him the information about K. Rool, because he didn't know much about him.

I will go with following characters:

5 Points: Ridley
3 Points: Shulk
2 Points: Dillon
1 Point: Mike Jones
1 Point: Saki

For that Reddit Poll, I only will go with three:
Shulk, BWD and Mewtwo. My personal most wanted characters all aligned with an even 12 is pretty coincidental.
