    Yeah K Rool seems really weird since the new DK games don't feature the Kremlings at all

    Which sucks because Kremlings are way better than the dumb voodoo mask badguys.

    Totally! That's half the reason I couldn't enjoy the Wii Donkey Kong game (Land? World? New Donkey Kong? I don't remember the name). That and "shake your controller for super jumping precision".

    Donkey Kong Country Returns.

    So, uh, just managed to beat Senator Armstrong.

    The white armor is straight up broken. Missed the secondary weapons, but 10 first aid kits is a lot of extra health.

    ridley was samus sized in the melee intro roughly

    kojima is sakurai's friend and snake showed up in brawl at the same time as mgs IV

    and sakurai doesnt like to cut characters

    I think Ridley has already been confirmed as a stage hazard in the Other M stage?

    So that'd be kinda weird if you were fighting Ridley and then another Ridley was there

    toon link is a part of a stage and a character

    The Vita version of Spelunky (which has PS3 cross buy) is only $7.49 today, or $3.75 for Plus members.

    I'm tempted to get it even though I'd only be able to play the PS3 version thanks to the Vita's terrible lack of multiple account usage.

    Nope. There's been pictures of the hole that Ridley created during his boss fight in other m, which some people have taken to mean he'll occasionally fly through it to bug you, but there haven't been any actual pictures of Ridley.

    Toon Zelda/Sheik are among the scrapped character data from brawl, which included Mewtwo, Roy, and...wait that might have been it.

    I just hope they improve Sonic's moveset. It's shit. All his B moves are the same. Damn. Thing. Most everything is him using his spin attack.

    Though beating the shit out of random people at PAX with him was hilarious.

    Brawl had some neat hidden mechanics too.

    Did you know that you could increase your grab range by a lot by doing it right after you pivot? Combine that fact with the super-armor you get from a grab that hits as you are hit, and Sonic is hilariously effective as a grabber against the unaware.

    The thing from that list that I hope is actually true is playable Little Mac.

    Also Chrom.

    Those are both characters I would probably main.

    Little Mac was considered for Brawl but rejected because Sakurai 'Couldn't think of enough variation in his moves.'

    Then again, the Villager was considered too but they couldn't figure out any moves for him.

    And Ridely he has said generation after generation is just too big. To which I say fooey. Make him like Charizard.

    Finally, the best possible change I could see would be to play as Squirtle as a standalone. Squirtle is the best character in brawl, bar none.

    I think they're both by far the most likely newcomers, Chrom being more likely than Little Mac.

    I find the Fire Emblem assist trophies to be unlikely.

    Scrapping a fan favorite from a game with a major impact on the series in favor of a couple not particularly popular baddies who do basically the same thing just doesn't seem to have a reasonable angle.

    Lyn's been on one game that came out 11 years ago, it makes sense to replace her with characters from a much more recent and highly popular entry in the series

    They're never gonna replace Marth because he's simply too popular a Smash Bros. character at this point. Has nothing to do with Fire Emblem.

    And Lucina goes by Marth for a while in Awakening so that's an alternate costume if I've ever seen one.

    Coming from you, this makes me extremely excited to grab it come Friday

    I'm waffling on if I'll grab it for the ol' 360, where my season pass is and where it'll be cheaper, or if I grab it for my new PC where it'll look better/might have some of the kinks modded out

    She's the most recognizable character from the most popular entry in the franchise yet, and maybe the ONLY popular one ever in America

    Marth is famous for being in Smash Bros and I don't know if the game he's from was ever even translated into English

    Also it is literally a plot point in Awakening that Lucina looks just like Marth

    Also yes Gihrahim is played-straight Gays Are Evil but he's still one of the better new Zelda characters. Everyone in SS had tons of personality and Gihrahim was near the top there.

    The twist about his identity near the end puts all his dialogue in a new light and is just awesome.

    is he zelda in disguise?

    I don't even know what to tell you.

    Liberation is broken in so many fundamental ways. I dunno, maybe they fixed it up for the HD version? The Vita version is barely holding together as a coherent piece of game.

    He's the evil counterpart to Fi. He's also basically a computer haunting a sword, and that sword is the evil version of the Master Sword.

    Knowing this, literally everything he says makes sense as something an Evil Fi would say.
