DukeNapoleon said: Lucas and Wolf were both in my top five used characters in Brawl.

Two of the other characters in that top five were PT and Ice Climbers.

I get the hurt from cut characters.



As far as loving a character... I just sincerely doubt the probability that a character means more to someone than Squirtle, or Red, means to me. There are some really personal experiences I've had with them for the last 17 years.

It sucks that they are cut. Absolutely.



I still think it is clear, even to Sakurai, that newcomers are what the series is about.

I support all veterans coming back, except for Roy, Young Link, and to a much lesser extent, Snake. I also see no need for Pichu, but then that would extend to Lucas as well if I am going to go that far. I don't think those five should return, their time in the sun has ended. Yet, people will find any reason to be unsatisfied, so it cannot be helped. I accept that as well. Click to expand...

Kalimdori said: I disagree. Smash Bros has always been a series whose focus is to bring Nintendo's biggest stars together in a single game. That applies just as much to veterans as it does to newcomers, if not more. Sakurai has made it very clear that he despises cutting characters, to the point that it's a painful process for him. And for good reason, people react so much worse to a popular veteran being cut then they do to a popular newcomer not making it in. Click to expand... With each character cut, more and more get upset, some even alienated. With every cut, that's just more characters on the waiting list, if it were me in charge, I'd say we're bringing back every first party veteran that didn't make the cut. Sakurai appears to be in the middle, he is considering more DLC, marketing isn't the issue, Nintendo's been doing great with DLC as of late, It's clear what characters people want, so that's not an issue, Sakurai gathered back the whole team to work on Mewtwo, Miiverse stage, Tourney mode, and 3DS amiibo support, the same team that made the entire game, so amount of workers isn't the issue, Sakurai is tired, yet he could simply take a temporary break, then come back to it, he states that due to the online, someone will have to keep working on the game, why not make it worthwhile and add some DLC here and there. We make character petitions out of fear that Sakurai has decided against our wishes, so that we can show him that there are many who want that character in, and that the investment will be worthwhile. DLC provides Sakurai with the opportunity to truly make Smash Bros Wii U/3DS the best character game ever. Does he want another Project M? Project M, a game made because of the dissatisfaction of Brawl's gameplay and character cuts. Does he want hackers to destroy his game and add in the cut vetarens and some newcomers all by themselves, to show Sakurai that he didn't do a good job, this is easily going to happen with Ridley, but Sakurai can still add in the cut veterans and some newcomers. Times have changed, Mewtwo alone won't be enough now, there are more character cuts, some more hard than others. The only way to have any sort of influence on a man like Sakurai, is with alot of people, unless of course you are his superior.

Mario Party 9 was fun, I really liked the Bowser Jr. mini games, also 10000 times better than Smash Tour, if you play MP9 just right, your friends will hate you. Island Tour is probably just barely better than Smash Tour.

These words ring true, what were more people upset about, Ridley not making it in to Brawl, or Mewtwo not making it in Brawl?Smash Bros is advertised as the coming together of Nintendo's greatest characters, so when characters like Wolf, Ice Climbers, Lucas, Squirtle, and Ivysaur don't make the cut, it sends the message that they aren't considered Nintendo All Stars.We don't want them to go through what Mewtwo had to go through, no one should ever have to endure that. Take this quote from my Wolf campaign,I really hope Sakurai is at this moment working on Wolf, so that when I or someone else present the list of supporters to him, he feels overjoyed that he's pleasing his fans, and that they aren't upset that he brought back Wolf instead of adding in someone else. I want to appreciate his work, I want to appreciate Sakurai,but if I am not truly satisfied with his work, how can I fully appreciate it. Each day yields nothing new, we are just waiting for Sakurai's word, we go insane, we get optamistic or pessamistic, we lose hope, we get a little hope. All we can do is wait to see if Sakurai will make the decision, that in the long run makes many happy. Sakurai is already hated by nearly every Ridley fan, and may never be rid of their dislike of him until Ridley is truly playable in a Smash Bros game. When Mewtwo was cut, Sakurai had to endure the anger of Mewtwo fans for nearly a decade, now he fixes that, and they are happy, Mewtwo is a Nintendo All Star again. Sakurai never said that Mewtwo would be the only DLC character, he said that he didn't currently have plans for anyone beyond Mewtwo, that means he has ideas of more DLC. Thus since he's open for negociation, we try to persuade him to include a character, vetaren or newcomer, he didn't reveal who the cut characters were, and hasn't mentioned anything about future DLC after Mewtwo since mid December 2014. All we do is wait, just to see if he'll say something.
