You know. It's strange. I tend to see more people on sites such as Smashboards who would rather have Sceptile as a newcomer in Smash than Blaziken. But why? Blaziken is more popular. I myself would be happy with either of them though.

Easy. Muh patterns, as always

>>
It's just patternfags who think Sceptile "deserves" to get in just because there's a water starter and a fire starter even though it literally doesn't matter at all and it's a shitty choice otherwise.

I don't want any Pokemon characters except Ivysaur and Squirtle coming back.
>>
I don't want anymore Pokemon.

But if we had to, I'd want Emolga as a lightweight Charizard clone

Turn rock smash into electro ball, replace flamethrower with whatever Pikachu's neutral B is supposed to be, call the side B Spark instead of Flare Blitz and remove recoil, all tilts aerials and smashes can be the same in general animations but faster, weaker, and smaller

Though semi-clone would be more accurate

No. You're fucking wrong. We don't have "too many Pokémon." There are people who want more Pokémon in Smash. Just look on Smashboards and you will see threads supporting Sceptile, Delphox, Blastoise, Gengar, and others.
Yet you are fine with Wolf, a boring semiclone, back. Fuck you.

I would rather have Wolf because minimal effort and it helps with my arbitrary antagonist quota, also Pokemon already has plenty of reps anyways even if I don't really care about any of them. I wouldn't bitch if we got more Pokemon though.

I don't even like Star Fox other than the SNES game

Because Sceptile is based, has fantastic moveset potential, and it's nice to give the always-neglected Grass type a little bit of love.

Frankly I'd love to get both of them, though. Blaziken would be very simple to make a Captain Falcon semiclone out of, so it's not like having both would take a hugely larger amount of resources than just one.

Basically what I'm saying is they're both great Pokemon and could easily earn their keep in Smash.

And you want MORE pokemon?

Shut your entitled ass up. You have 6. SIX. slots on the roster, which could, and SHOULD have easily been 3. Pikachu, Mewtwo, and MAYBE Greninja for new rep. Charizard is pandering, and Jigglypuff, while a vet since 64, has long overstayed its welcome. And lucario should have stayed with brawl as a gen 4 newcomer.

Let other Series' have slots. Pokemons got enough. We still don't have Golden sun, Advance wars, Survival kids, Custom robo, Sin and punishment, Pushmo or Teleroboxer Reps, so let them get a chance.

Why is Shota almost black in this picture? It'd be so perfect aside from that.
>>
>>24730885
I'll be honest, they should remove Lucario and Jigglypuff if it meant having Sceptile and some other cool character in. But to be completely fair, the Mario series does have like 10 reps. So, really, Pokemon having 7 when it probably is the 2nd most prominent series isn't bad.
>>
>>24730812
The only games that come close to outselling Pokemon are Mario, which has 8 characters. Pokemon has way more character variety than any other of Nintendo's series, and yet things like Fire Emblem have almost as many characters.

Fucking Kid Icarus has 3 characters, there's a hell of a lot more fat to trim other than Pokemon especially since they have ALL original characters as opposed to clones like Falco and Lucas.
>>
>>24730941
Yeah, let's remove characters before adding DLC to preserve fair representation of franchises. What a great idea, dumbass.
>>
>>24730999
Not from Smash 4 as it is. I mean they should have not included Lucario/Jigglypuff in Smash 4 in the first place.
>>
Ivysaur please. It's a veteran, a grass type, quadruped and has completely unique moveset.
>>
>>24731018

Jigglypuff was in the N64, GameCube and Wii Smash games, there was no way they were going to remove a character that was in all three previous titles.
>>
>>24728384

Blaziken isn't more popular. Don't be fooled by the furfags and Sugimori's favoritism. Between Ash's Sceptile and the general love for the Mudkip line, Blaziken has always been dead last among the Hoenn starters in the general public's eye.
>>
>>24731061

Veteran status isnt anywhere near as important as keeping a clean, sizeable and ciosistent roster.

Those old games exist, they're not going anywhere, so theres no need to bring over everyone from previous games.

We could easily have lost: Jigglypuff, Wolf, Lucario, Lucas, Roy, Ike, Luigi, Peach, Diddy, Toon link, Shiek, ZSS, Falco, Meta knight, and Dr. Mario and nobody would care.

New additions are better welcomed, and while we could have done without Dark pit and Lucina, At least they're new.

I didnt buy smash to play the exact same game from 4 years ago. I welcome all forms of new characters over these old has-beens.
>>
>>24730812
>second best selling game franchise of all time with massive character variety with a decent handful of exceptionally popular faces

6/56 is pretty fine for a juggernaut franchise going strong for just shy of 20 years. 7/57 wouldn't be insanity either, assuming we get a new one as DLC

you can easily argue the case for FE though; 5 characters from an extensively niche franchise, 2 of which are benign growths off of Marth

That's really the problem. People do care about that kind of stuff for some reason. Also we did lose Wolf.

Wrong. There are many more fans that are delusional than Sceptilefags. Daisy and Gokufags for one. Not to mention Swampertfags who believe their Pokémon is more popular than Sceptile are delusional because Sceptile has had far more screentime in the anime than Swampert.
>>
>>24732053
>Not to mention Swampertfags who believe their Pokémon is more popular than Sceptile

That's the thing. No Swampertfag actually thinks this. They recognize that their starter isn't the most popular. They're humble and just like their bro in peace. But Sceptilefags have to go around parading around their stupid lizard thinking it's somehow the best because of their superiority complex to Blaziken.

Sceptilefag here. I agree that Blaziken is more popular but Sceptile and its line, in both AG and XY, has had a more prominent role in the anime than Blaziken's line.
>>
>>24732079
Bullshit. I've seen plenty of Swampertfags say Sceptile is the least popular. You're just defending them because you're probably a Swampertfag yourself. You can't judge an entire Pokémon's fanbase based on what a few people say.

Has been, I guess. But see >>24730400. Ash's main rival has a Treecko line that will be able to Mega Evolve. As for >>24732172, I typically consider XY&Z to fall within the realm of "XY", and considering Sceptile is probably going to become a major character while Blaziken appeared in 6 episodes and Shota's Sceptile (or other such forms) has already appeared in 5 episodes (not even counting that he's in the opening), he's probably going to be more prominent.
>>24732194
He might appear in a couple Flare episodes once they get to Lumiose City. I'd still like to see him Mega Evolve his Ampharos, who's been pushed to the back burners since the beginning of the series.

Gen 3 just had a remake last year and is still the most recent mainline Pokémon game, yet it got absolutely no content in Smash besides a couple of worthless trophies. And don't say, "It was too new!" Yoshi's Woolly World got a stage for fucks sake. We need a Gen 3 rep. Anyone who disagrees is a blind Genwunner. Simple as that.
>>
>>24734070
No one cares about which gen gets "reps." Ivysaur is still far better than Sceptile is because it's actually a unique quadruped fighter instead of another stupid lizard or another character that uses slashing attacks. Your anti-genwun faggotry and fuck off. ;)
>>
I honestly don't think we have too many Pokémon. It's one of Nintendo's most important and iconic series. If anything, it deserves eight reps since every Smash game since the first has had two additional Pokémon reps in each game. 64 had 2. Melee had 4. Brawl had 6 (PT's Pokémon had unique movesets). Why wouldn't Sm4sh have 8? What other character besides a third-party, which we already have enough of, would cause more hype than a Pokémon newcomer? King K. Rool is extremely irrelevant and is practically unknown to casuals. Dixie Kong is practically female Diddy. Impa looks very similar to Sheik. Bandana Dee is pretty much the equivalent to a Goomba with a hat. Paper Mario is another Mario. Daisy is...you already know. There are no other Nintendo characters I can think of, besides Inkling, that would be better than a Pokémon newcomer.
>>
>>24734085
Fuck Gen 1. Other generations deserve attention too. Just because you're a grandpa who grew out of Pokémon and quit the series doesn't mean you have to ruin everything for us newer Pokémon fans. Genwunners are the cancer killing Pokémon, and Game Freak and TPC are fucking imbeciles who keep on catering to them.
>>
>>24734085
>another stupid lizard
>another character who uses slashing attacks
Who cares? We already have like 10 anime-esque swordsmen in the game. Another lizard would not hurt. Besides, Ivysaur is just like Jigglypuff. It's an irrelevant Pokémon that should have never been added to Smash in the first place.
>>
>>24734126
>We already have like 10 anime-esque swordsmen in the game.
And you want ANOTHER character that attacks in pretty much the same fucking way sword fighters do? No thanks.

What, as in they're both characters that are actually UNIQUE and fun to play instead of just retarded patternfag choices like Sceptile?

I can guarantee you that more people would be hyped for Sceptile than a veteran who doesn't even have a Mega Evolution and is no longer relevant.

Jigglypuff is more relevant to the Smash Bros series than Sceptile EVER will be.

I just don't get the mentality of people who would rather have a veteran than someone new and interesting. People would not have been as hyped for Snake as Cloud if he was revealed instead.

Snake is better than Cloud. One is a character who plays differently from everyone else from the cast. Another is another anime swordsman. New does not equate to better.

It's not hard to tell. With Shulk you could immediately see that he plays differently. Cloud is mostly Ike but with a boosting move similar to WFT. It's not that impressive.

Cloud is only more hype worthy because it's a shiny new toy. But once that newness wears off Snake is a far better gameplay choice.

It's not about some arbitrary need to have all gens represented, it's about finding a pokemon that is
>Popular
Whether you like it or not, Gen 1 is the most popular thanks to nostalgia fags and having 20 years of exposure.
>Unique
Ivysaur is debatably more unique than Sceptile even simply by virtue of its body type. I don't even care about either, I want Squirtle to come back
>Interesting to play as
There are many ways to do this so I won't comment on this
>>
>>24734251
>Cloud is mostly Ike but with a boosting move similar to WFT.

So you're basically just admitting you're a retard?
>>
>>24734712
So what if Gen 1 is the most popular? Greninja isn't anywhere near as iconic as a Gen 1 Pokémon, but he's playable. Earthbound is the most popular game of the Mother series, but we got Lucas.
>>
>>24734806
Because the discussion is who should be added, so a character already playable in the game should probably be exempt from discussion, no?
>>
>>24734813
It doesn't matter if Gen 1 is the most popular. Just because it's the most popular and well-known doesn't mean all the other gens should be ignored. If all the 3D Mario games were ignored, we wouldn't have Rosalina or Bowser Junior. If all the 3D Zelda games were ignored, we wouldn't have Sheik, Ganondorf, or Toon Link. Nostalgia is a disease that clouds people's judgment, and it's not fair to deny other Pokémon their chance to shine just because of stubborn grandpas who can't let go of the past.
>>
If they ever bring back Pichu, I want them to give him a unique moveset as well as having every single Pikaclone as an alternate costume.

That way all gens are represented, so people can argue less about stupid shit.

A compelling argument for ignoring the 3D Zelda games.

I think the reason why a lot of people obsess over reps in Smash, is because they're upset that their favorite series hasn't gotten as many characters, trophies, stages etc. like other series have had. Out of spite, they would say: "No, X franchise has enough reps! Y franchise deserves much more representation", ignoring the fact that X franchise may still have interesting characters to pull from.

Pokemon has only received 2 characters in this game(counting Mewtwo). Mario has received 3 (counting Dr. Mario) and FE has received 3 as well (counting Roy).
>>
>>24734871
Mewtwo and Charizard were able to show off Mega Evolutions, a new mechanic for the franchise.

Plus, all gens are represented through Pokeball Pokemon. They don't need to be playable characters to be represented.
>>
>>24734871
I can't really think of say, an iconic Gen 2 Pokemon who would be good as a playable character. iirc all the Legends either currently are or have previously been Pokeball Pokemon None of them have the popularity or exposure or perceived aggression of Mewtwo. Mewtwo even grew as a character in his movie, which is referenced in game.

That being the case, arbitrarily picking a gen 2 pokemon for the sake of it being a gen 2 pokemon isn't the best use of resources.
>>
>>24735056
I don't think people should be so quick to dismiss a character just because of the series it comes from.

Pokémon easily has the most amount of potential when it comes to characters. There are so many different body types to include and so many different elemental fighting styles to cover. In my opinion, despite the amount of Pokémon in this game already, Smash has only scratched the surface of Pokémon's potential.

The Pokémon series has only received 1 newcomer in this game. Meanwhile, the Mario series has received 2 and the niche Fire Emblem series has received 2 as well. I think one more Pokémon newcomer shouldn't be out of the realm of possibility.
>>
>>24735148
Yeah but you have to consider that The Pokemon Company is a bitch to negotiate sometimes. Who knows if they'll let Samurai simply put any character he wants into Smash.

They have all the power to say no to a new addition in Smash.
>>
>>24735156
I really don't get TPC. You'd think they'd be happy with their characters receiving promotion, but they refuse to let Yoshi's Woolly World costumes function with Pokémon amiibos and they didn't allow the Pokémon costumes in SMM to have their own sound effects. What the fuck is wrong with them?!

Can we get a Dragon Type in there? Maybe Garchomp or Goodra?

We already have Mega Charizard X. A Grass-type is more necessary as its the only starter type w/o a rep in Smash.

I feel like out of all the grass starters, they could do the most with Chesnaught.

>Drain Punch to recover
>Wood Hammer with good range and power but recoil
>Spikes
>Bulletproof lets it take no damage from non-energy projectiles or simply no knockback from projectiles

>Shield acts like Spiky Shield, making contacting opponents in front incur like 2% damage

Won't ever happen though because he's definitely not popular enough.

I don't get why people think Goku is impossible just because he's an anime character. Every Pokémon in Smash is directly based off of how they are portrayed in the anime, so technically the Pokémon are anime characters as well.

Why the fuck do people want EITHER of these when Greninja already fucking exists holy shit

How many ninja/fast characters does smash need before you will finally be satisfied
>>
>>24736959
What character would you rather want anon? Some D-list characters like King K. Rool? More boring semiclones like Wolf?
>>
>>24736959
This. It's not going to happen. Ice Climbers or bust
>>
>>24737977
Because those are the edgy popular pokemon. Fast, ninja like etc

I'd love to have a bulkier pokemon like Kangaskhan or Emboar to be playable
>>
>>24737996
Counting Yoshi and Wario, Mario has NINE characters. Why can't Nintendo's second-biggest series get one more newcomer when Waifu Emblem had 2? Also, the ICs are IMPOSSIBLE! Sakurai said it himself! Why do you keep hoping for the Ice Climbers when they're not possible?! You might as well ask for Ridley, too! Neither are happening for this Smash.

>>24736959
Enough with this bullshit. Pokémon has lost more veterans than any other series. We have every right to want another Pokémon newcomer when it has only gotten ONE while fucking Waifu Emblem and Kid Icarus got TWO.
>>
>>24738012
Quoting that article you just posted
>there’s always a chance they could be brought back in future DLC – provided Nintendo plans on making it for the highly anticipated fighter.
>>
>>24728384
Out of those two I'd rather have Sceptile. But I'd rather be surprised and have a pokemon playable that's not a starter. Maybe even Hoopa Unbound.
>>
>>24738024
>magnus is the assist trophy and Dark pit is playable when it could've been the other way around

why was this allowed
>>
>>24738066
Dark Pit was thrown in at the last minute because they could recycle non-dark pit's animations. It was really just a case of "Dark Pit or nobody".
>>
>>24738024
It's not a big deal since Pokemon still has the 2nd most characters of any franchise in the game.

Swampert just isn't as popular as the other Hoenn starters. It doesn't help that it's had almost no screentime in the anime.

So with all these people wanting Sceptile, I have to wonder about what Sceptile's possible movement would be. If, hypothetically, Sceptile does get into Sm4sh, what would it's moveset be?

Only think I've got in mind is its Final Smash. It mega evolves, and fires off its tree-tail, with a huge leaf storm following it, in similar fashion like Mario's or Wii Fit Trainer. Or maybe something intensely precise, like Zelda or Dark Pit.

I'm not even a patternfag, I just like Sceptile
>>
>>24737977

The faster a character is, the better chance they have to be a good character.

Nobody wants a character they suggest to be DDD or Ganon tier.
>>
>>24738244
Sceptile is my favorite Pokémon. That's the main reason I want him in. The whole type trio thing is just an incentive.
>>
>>24737987
King K. Rool is a fine choice. Unlikely though, since Retro got rid of kremlings and Sakurai is a huge xenophobe
>>
>>24738239
There are movesets people made in Sceptile's page on Smashboards. Some of them include Dragon Breath, a D-special that has long endlag but stuns the foe. There's also Leaf Blade which can be used t slash opponents, and Energy Ball, which can function similarly to Samus's charge shot. Sceptile could essentially be a speedy, offensive character that has both close-range and long-range attacks while being very frail like Mewtwo.
