I feel as though we've reached a point in smash where almost every major Nintendo character is represented and that goes for villains. Exept for one an Earthbound Villain Masked man or Porky?
Smash Bros :What Earthbound Villain do you want?

EarthBound isn't a major Nintendo franchise. In fact it's the lowest selling series in the game. Losing Lucas again is more likely than getting a new character.
Masked Man is not a villain, he have no free will, he cannot choose or do anything, he is a puppet controlled by Porky.
The second he had of free will, he used it to kill himself.
Also, why would you want to play as a slave when you could be playing as the master?
Porky is the most sensible option, given that he's the only major villain who's connected to both Ness and Lucas.
I suppose I can't deny that but from a legacy point of view does Mother not have some very beloved antagonist akin to king.k.rool and Ridley these characters are arguably not that important but they left an impact on nintendo fans.
>they replayed the villain thing in the Smash Direct
>hyped because Earthbound was sorely missing a villain
>it was just for fucking Banjo
I was very disappointed
I want Porky the most, but I'm glad that, if I am going to be cockteased, is with Banjo and not a shitty random character.
I think Banjo deserved it.
I think Masked Man has a lot of character traits that could make him a fun character lightning sword, gun arm,jet recovery,shield killer, bombs,PSI etc.
He's an interesting character, but not really a "villain".
Porky would be a lot of fun but I'd love Masked man. Could make for a fun clone of Lucas.
That said my autism is tripped by the fact there is no M1 rep. A Ness echo would be dope.
Giygas as a mewtwo echo and porky
I see it like Wolf and Andross where one is the rival and the other is the bigboss. The thing is I can't really picture porky all that well where as Masked man seems very feasible I also think the slave part of his character could be portrayed in his character to give a sense of tragedy to him in smash.
I don't know man Ninten really is identical to Ness in every way as a fan I'd rather see an echo for a character with more personality from the already represented games such as Paula or Kumatora. Ness already borrows their moves why can't they borrow Ness's moves.
>Ninten really is identical to Ness in every way
not really desu, their psi is pretty different plus Ninten uses alot more items then Ness
plus in the Novel Ninten is a fuckin dick so maybe he can act like that in smash
I suppose but personally I think Kumatora as an echo is leagues more interesting.
the shape of the character is pretty much the same.
...
Not an actual reason to not be in smash, just a thing that annoys me.
>Giygas as a mewtwo
Giegue has all the fuckin psi at his disposal and people want him as a fuckin mewtwo bootleg
hell no
I want a Kirby villain
lots of characters in smash have the same shape so thats not really an issue
plus Sakurai could cook up a new design for him like he's done in the past
personally I'd like to see him with his in-game equipment, maybe have him constantly hold his bat so to seperate him from Ness
Masked Man/Klaus and Porky are the only options. I think a Starman would be a good character (whatever the highest ranking one is) but Yea Forums will disagree because they are tasteless+autistic.
Masked man will be porkys attack like zelda has the knight dude
Porky is scared and his moveset should show how he hides behind his army
He would drop the mani mani statue from his helicopter if he uses up b then an attack.
He would summon pig masks and statues
Hes weak and his mech is what protects him
Hes also the first villain you fight in earthbound beginnings
Porky Minch with Giygas as a final smash. And I think the EB design is much better but they’d probably go with M3
none, the series has more than enough
>mother
>major nintendo character
F-zero is more likely to get a new character than mother
I'd rather get new Earthbound music than a new character, honestly.
>Hes also the first villain you fight in earthbound beginnings
I get that, I was there when it happen.
You fags should be grateful you have even 2 chatacters.
>kirby
>good
90% of kirby's representation is from literally one fucking game
Porky with the Masked Man being apart of his moveset would be great
there's a lot of it though, which is why it's in good and not perfect
Fixed
>Wanting Wario Ware shit
Also Zelda is over-represented by having three fucking Links.
Earthbound is perfect.
Agree with everything else
Sakurai hates F-Zero and you know this, as much as I'd love either Black Shadow, Deathborn, or The Skull as a playable character
>representation could be better
>sonic and pacman
third parties should get minimum representation
Not them, but any WW rep that isn’t Ashley has potential to be fun as fuck
>earthbound is perfect
2 characters + 4 stages for a series that never even hit half a million is far too much, it's the most privileged series in smash next to FE
this would be pretty cool, maybe with Porky as part of the final smash.
The list is referring to music and stages as well as characters
Having a lot of shit doesn't make representation good you fucking tard. FE's representation, for example, is total shit because despite the large amount of stuff it has, the characters are almost all swordfags with the (semi) exception of Robin despite FE's gameplay being largely based around the weapon triangle.
>Hes also the first villain you fight in earthbound beginnings
tfw i was the og Lamposter feelsgoodman
all
Only because it had only three games and only one was localized. The games have a huge fan base.
>earthbound
>as good as it's gonna get
>with barely any of the series's best music
I know, sonic has too much shit as it is
and? a character being shit doesn't exempt it from being overrepresented
What do you think “as good as it’s gonna get” means? It certainly doesn’t mean perfect.
put him
>huge fanbase
first of all, none of the games hit half a million even in japan. The "it sells well in japan" meme is false. Second, nobody knows what the fuck earthbound is outside of gaming circles.
>for a series that never even hit half a million
Physical sales, because both Earthbound and Beginnings were top sales on the Wii U E-Shop.
The smash devs seem to like the series a lot then
>top sales on the Wii U E-Shop on release week
wow, what an achievement.
Masked Man would be absolute dope, but I feel like Porky is more Iconic and is more deserving
Gyigas would be cool too but I think he would fit better as a boss (stage or normal boss) or as porky Final Smash
Gigyas. And anyone calling him a Mewtwo echo is a fucking retard.
Porky full character. Giygas as a mewtwo echo. Masked man as a Mii costume for both gunner and swordfighter.
Devil Machine stage. Where it would show Ness before breaking, it shows an Earthbound style version of the lead fighter's face.
Any choice other than Porky is wrong
He literally would not be in otherwise. I don't care if you think he could be """""represented""""" better with a different moveset. It's echo, extremely similar semiclone or nothing. It's selfish to say, for everyone else, that you'd rather have nothing.
Kirby's shit, but its representation is pretty reasonable. Three characters, all play very differently. My only issue with it is the constant reuse of the tree, which is a perfect representation of the series.
My issue with Kirby is all the super star and Sakurai specific Kirby games getting stages and new remixes
None because earthbound is overrated garbage.
As a fighter, Porky>Masked Man>Giggles imo
I don't see a way they could really do justice to Gigs incomprehensible psychic attacks, I'd much rather have a Giygas themed stage of some kind. Masked Man has lots of moveset potential, but with sword/gun arm/flying moves I think he runs the risk of Sakurai being lazy and reusing a ton of moves from other characters. Porky has the most potential to be completely unique, aside from being a villain to Ness and Lucas.
Also anyone who wants Ninten as anything more than a Ness costume is dumb.
That sounds like an awesome stage idea, I've always wanted some sort of Giygas/Devils Machine/Cave of the Past stage.
None because Earthbound doesn't need more characters. "Muh villain quota"fags are retarded.
All of the original 12 have playable villain representation except for Ness.
Mario - Bowser
DK - K. Rool
Link - Ganondorf
Samus - Ridley
Yoshi - Bowser
Kirby - Dedede (who was an antagonist in the past, so it still counts)
Fox - Wolf
Pikachu - Mewtwo (who is based off of Mewtwo from the first movie, who was a villain)
Luigi - Bowser
Captain Falcon - the Blood Falcon alt costume
Jigglypuff- Mewtwo
Ness is the only one who doesn’t have a villain.
>entire series is "child's intro to platforming"
>first boss is a giant immobile hitbox
>every fight is still different
>earthbound
>major
I wonder if rosterfags actually play video games or if they just eternally live in their own circlejerk deluding themselves that their literal who picks are more important than they actually are.
Look at yourself, you have no response.
If you count alts you could make the case for the Masked Man Lucas alt.
But that’s not the Masked Man. It’s a shirt with his face on it, so it doesn’t count.
I can give a response.
>Part of the alien race responsible for PSI and telekinesis, the major power used in the trilogy of games
>Can use potentially every form of PSI there is, Beam, Freeze, Fire, Thunder, Earth and the other miscellaneous powers along with his own and the iconic "You cannot grasp the true form of Gigyas' attack!" as his B-neutral
>HURRR MEWTWO ECHO DURF HURF
I repeat, retard.
I don’t disagree with you but
Mewtwo can learn flamethrower ice beam and thunderbolt
And it doesn't use any of those moves in Smash. For that matter, Greninja should be an echo of Sheik because they both use ninja-like moves and attacks.
