I'm actually on the other side of things, Quacker.
[Smash Bros. Rant]
I think that Shadow as an AT makes sense in the ability, but Tails and Knuckles were much more iconic. Shadow hasn't have the longevity compared to them, nor doesn't deserve to be an Assist Trophy. Besides, we already have a clock item that slow down time. Shadow's Chaos Control in Brawl does the same thing. It's redundant. I would of preferred Eggman, even. He would of showed up with some crazy mech of his and start attacking. And not to mention, that Knuckles' moveset practically defies Brawl's.
Gliding was introduced, which is something he's know for. He's a fighter, after all, and would cause some great combos for an AT. Or he would dig into the ground and pop up somewhere underneath your opponent. Anything is more original than what Shadow did.
Sure, Shadow is the most popular of the newest characters, but sometimes, his appearances goes too far. It seems like that if SEGA wants more money, all the have to do is slap Shadow somewhere, which equals instant money maker. In fact:
1. Make Game
2. Add Shadow
3. ???
4. Profit!
:P
I am displeased with the Shadow route, but I am more unsatisfied with the roster.
I mean, I have nothing against some of the choices, but we still have clones. I mean, just look. We have Fox, and Falco returns. And then we have Wolf? He even has the same Final Smash as Fox. I have witnessed that Wolf has changed up a bit, but he more or less still shares the same attacks, just moves them to his own way. I kept hearing that Krystal would of had a completley different move set. I would have gone with that, over a clone of a clone.
WW/Toon Link is total facepalm action.
R.O.B. I have nothing against, but lol wut. He's basically the Game & Watch of melee. Still brings question as to why G&W is there.
Ganondorf is still clone like.
DeeDeeDee is basically Hammer Kirby from the Kirby series.
Jigglypuff is basically a neutered Kirby.
Now, Lucas and Ness. Why is Ness still here? O_o He was supposed to be replace in favor of Lucas back in Melee.
Snake and Sonic I saw coming. Sonic was rumored to be in Melee. and Snake's creator pratically begged Sakurai if he could be in Melee, but it seems that he called him too late, as the game was far too much in production.
So what, no other third parties? No Megaman makes me :( Megaman is very iconic to Nintendo, I just don't see why he didn't make it in. Bomberman was my second choice, but the odds of him appearing were pretty slim. Now, what about other Nintendo games that have been floating around Nintendo since the NES and Super Nintendo days?
GoNintendo has an article up about Geno. He was supposed to be in Brawl, but Square Enix was basically being pissy about it, and that's partially why there was a delay.
Ridely was in, but not as a playable character.
But there as some good things about it. Lucario is going to be awesome to use. Pokemon Trainer and Olimar bring out something different from the other characters, which gives us that unique diversity. Meta Knight was a choice I would have made eventually. Pit is a rarity, just glad that he's getting some limelite after so many years. And Snake and Sonic seems like something from a dream.
I'm greatful with the roster, but they could of done much more with it. Kinda felt like that it could've been something more, like they left us hanging. Although, the game is finished and it seems that not everybody's expectations can be met.
youtube.com/watch?v=2HU_AJbx10Q Final Smash Compilation. Some funny stuff, but the Final Smashes weren't all performed right.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vqgWQ8OeFw Green Hill Zone footage. Sonic Boom is an unlockable song, too. :D And Knuckles and Tails will ocasionally run in the background, through the loop i think.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytIhZp8vxzU Shadow AT at 47 sec. He slows down time, except for the user. Exactly like the the clock item we already have.
And an image I found. :P
