I can't wait!!
To me I think the series is going uphill from third-party characters.
Oh and Kishi, I really was hoping for him to be a characteer too, or Raiden.
True, but I'm a little sad that it means that Ness won't be returning.
It doesn't, though. It's not as if past Smash games haven't had different characters with very similar, if not identical, move sets.
except, they specifically said no clone characters in Brawl. Don't ask me to look it up, it was said at some point in time. Which is why most people think Luigi will probably have his vacuum or something. They gave Mario F.L.U.D.D. probably to further differentiate between the two characters, if they're both in Brawl
THE JACKEL
It wouldn't be a "clone" situation anyway. Lucas's physical attacks are already different from Ness's.
Obviously that's doesn't mean Ness definately won't be in, but it kinda implies that he won't.Quote:
There’s a character named Ness who has appeared in the Smash Bros. series up until now, and Lucas is very similar. They are from the same family of PK users.
Yes, and Dr. Mario shot pills instead of fireballs. It's still a clone situation. 3 of the 4 special moves are the same (the PK Fire difference is so small as to be non-existant, like the difference between Pichu's Thundershock and Pikachu's Thundershock). Lucas is a Ness clone, so Ness almost certainly isn't going to be there.
Personally, I think the whole Lucas/Ness thing is a perfect example of why clones should be left in. So what if two characters play nearly identically? Each person has their own reasons for playing the characters they choose, and it isn't always because they think the character has awesome moves. Most of us like Ness. Hell, I liked Pichu for goodness' sakes (yeah, he sucked, and I knew that but I still found his odd attack style and quirky movements fun enough to play. He wasn't nearly my favorite, and I think they made a stupid decision in giving self-damaging attacks to the lightest character in the game, but I would have rather seen him reworked than axed. Pichu with his tiny Beam Sword held in his mouth...). What's wrong with duplicating a moveset if it means that fans get to keep working with characters they know and love?
