Well, yeah, it's definitely not a perfect comparison.
Would be nice if they rereleased the old Banjo games on Switch, though. It's clear that's where the audience is.
There's her dinosaur-like form in Super Metroid though!
1. Heroine / Hero
2. Impa / Sheik
3. Octoling / Inkling
I refuse to accept "too big" for Mother Brain after Ridley. She doesn't even have any of the anatomical hurdles Ridley had.
Realistic Picks:
16ε - Impa
54ε - Medusa
64ε - Octoling
Wanted Picks:
14ε - Midbus
38ε - Blaze
57Ɛ - Malos
Mother Brain isn't too big in a way you can't scale down, just her mech form (which would easily work as a final smash anyway).
I mean, people unironically used the size of Ridley as a boss to prove that he would never be a fighter, so...
Yeah. Kinda defeats the purpose of Mother Brain when her brain is normal size. You could change the proportions, but I honestly think the character would look better just going for the giant brain in a jar look as the default with the mech as a final smash.
That's fair. I would accept a smaller body like a spider or octopus mech. I still want her monstrous maw from Super though. She can drool acid and spew poison. Her drool can be a very subtle damaging idle animation.

I care, thanks for looking into it. That's a pretty good location for a XI-themed stage.
of course, SmashWiki still doesn't even have a page on the stage
they could've just went with "Altar of the Sky" if they didn't know the English name, since that's confirmed in Japanese materials

Thought this was fun to make: the roster so far...
Just on newcomers alone this is an incredible Smash game, but when you consider Everyone Is Here, it's mindblowing.
Damn I forgot Piranha plant was in the game since I left his code lying inside junk mail.
Hmm. Given the name, that's a small tree I see in the trailer myself.
The trailer barely showed it while giving us a lot of Spiral Mountain footage. I thought that was weird.
Agreed.
Here's something I always think of, when I think of what characters are "iconic."
I go to the movies a lot, and so I saw the trailer for Ready Player One a bunch of times. Now, in the trailer, there is a very quick shot of Tracer. And, because nerds just love Recognizing Things That They Know (see: Ready Player One*), without fail every time that shot was displayed at least one person in the audience would say "Tracer!" completely uncompelled.
I think about that a lot.
If the same trailer had a quick shot of Heihachi instead, do you think there would always be a guy in the audience who said "Heihachi"? I really don't. I think there's a difference between being from a popular game and being an iconic character in the larger culture.
We already have the archetypical fighting game characters in Smash, and that's Ken and Ryu. Those are the characters that are in the pop culture, even if recent installments of Tekken technically sell better than recent installments of Street Fighter. When the producers ofWreck-It Ralph wanted some fighting game characters, they went to Street Fighter, not Tekken, because that's sort of the archetypical fighting game that's in the culture. We all know who Heihachi is, but Smash casts a very wide net and I think some of the people in this thread would be surprised at how many Smash players might not be familiar with him. I think to a lot of people Heihachi would read as Some Fighting Game Guy whereas Ken and Ryu read as Ken and Ryu.
That's not to say that Sakurai never includes characters that aren't pop culture icons; of course he does. But I think when he does he's looking for characters that are interesting, like Ice Climbers or Mr. Game & Watch, and honestly the thought of playing as Heihachi in Smash doesn't pique my interest at all. I don't think he would be particularly interesting from a gameplay perspective and I don't think he would be interesting from an aesthetic perspective.
I think we're only talking about Heihachi because he's from a big Japanese game series and so he's sort of an obvious target. But I don't think Nintendo and Sakurai think that way. It sort of shows a lack of imagination, I think.
I don't at all think Nintendo views Smash as any sort of fighting game crossover, where they want to get characters from Tekken and Virtua Fighter and KoF and SamSho and Soul Calibur. I don't think that's their intention at all.
*) Or better yet, don't. Heyo!
Definitely. Horrible howling Geiger abomination Mother Brain is the best Mother Brain.
I edited it into my previous post, but she could drool acid for a subtle damaging idle animation. Maybe it could happen while she's grabbed too!
You say Sakurai doesn't think that way yet we know he considered adding Heihachi to Smash 4.
I'd love that. Kinda like how Link's idle animation blocks projectiles.
I see Mother Brain as a very projectile focused character, being able to throw up turrets, rinka rings, acid pools, mouth bombs, those weird wave lasers she shoots from her arms, etc. Fighting her would be a nightmare of just getting in.
I'm sure he considers adding lots of characters to Smash. I also don't see why his reasons for deciding against adding Heihachi would have changed in the last five years.
One of these things is not like the other
Yoshi is not warmblooded.
Think it might still be too hard to implement Heihachi's moveset into Smash?

Well, he said it was "difficult". Not impossible.
Ol' Ridley seemed worser off in that regard.
Difficult is better than what he said about Ridley, so sure, he could make a Tekken moveset work in Smash.Think it might still be too hard to implement Heihachi's moveset into Smash?

what is this even supposed to mean
people have been asking for Banjo and Kazooie since Melee
Now that we are in a post Banjo world, we are just left with discussion about Heihachi. Maybe we would have appreciated the journey more if we knew the destination was so boring.
He still "laughed" after discussing Ridley. He didn't laugh when discussing Heihachi (unless you count him joking about putting Heihachi in a fundoshi).
I mean it might not be Heihachi - it could be Jin,Kazuya or Agumon
heihachi is slightly more interesting but also uglier and less iconic ryu. I'll be disappointed if he's in
What the actual shit is this
Wait a second, is that Optimus Prime?
Imagine going from being on the cover of this to being an AT in Smash.
Like going from Hot Dogs to Caviar.
Don't worry, Costume Theory currently points to Haruka Amami being the most likely Bamco rep based on data.
