      If Melee had Wario playable, there would have been 6 Mario characters (8 if counting Yoshi and Donkey Kong) out of 26, whereas SSB4 has 9 Mario characters (12 if you count Yoshi, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong) out of 58, which is a much smaller fraction of the total number.

    • @Sturtime

      Yoshi does NOT count as a Mario character. He's a Yoshi character. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are DK characters, and Wario isn't a Mario character. Proof: www.smashbros.com/en_US/fighter/series.html

      @L33PL4Y 7 лет назад

      MOTHER 3's soundtrack is by far the weakest MOTHER series soundtrack...it's such a bummer that Hirokazu Tanaka and Keiichi Suzuki weren't available to work on it due to other commitments. The soundtrack isn't bad, but it's nowhere near as memorable, beautiful, or timeless as MOTHER's and MOTHER 2's. It really made that game feel very separate from the other two games, so instead of feeling like a cohesive trilogy, it feels like a game and its sequel, and then this other game that is also kind of tacked on. The story of 3 is amazing, but its music simply doesn't do it justice. Nowhere near enough musical callbacks to the first two games' soundtracks.

    • @MishKoz
      @MishKoz 7 лет назад +2

      I understand your point, but I think it being non-cohesive is more of a strong point. Think about it; Mother 3 takes place hundreds of years after Earthbound, on an island literally called the Nowhere Islands. In that case, it *should* feel sort of disconnected from the first two games.
      I'd also argue that songs like Happy Town?, Mind of a Thief, His Highness' Theme, and of course the Love Theme are all just as memorable as songs like Polyanna, Onett, Fourside, or The Place.

    • @Mario87456
      @Mario87456 7 лет назад +3

      Austin Mendoza However it's time for a new director for the series if you ask me because of Sakurai's stupid and insane logic when it comes to certain things (ex. Letting Lucina be a separate character because small difference in abilities equals character slot according to him), his extreme bias to certain franchises (ex. The amount of Kid Icarus content in Smash 4) and extremely dumb decisions (ex. removing story mode from smash 4)

    • @Juan-zs6jt
      @Juan-zs6jt 7 лет назад +27

      There is nothing wrong with making filler characters in fighting games, after all, they can be done in days compared to a character made from scratch (Lucina is also a fan favorite). Filthy casuals can never let go with "bias" can they? End of the day you played the game and you forgot about the Kid Icarus trophies. How it is extremely dumb to remove story mode when it wasn't the big deal and it costs time and money? See? Only people like Sakurai can direct this games, foolish nerds like you would make the game a mess.

    • @laggalot1012
      @laggalot1012 7 лет назад +28

      If I had any reason to want to see Sakurai step down as Smash-director, it'd be for his sake, more than that of the game. Smash Bros is just great. That's not to say it couldn't be better, or that it's unthinkable that another director could perhaps do certain things better, but nobody can deny what outstanding games have been produced under his watch. Even if Sakurai does hand over the job to someone else, I'm sure he'd still be involved *somehow*.

    • @Brandonious15987
      @Brandonious15987 7 лет назад +1

      Juan776 Brawl's story mode was one of my favorite things about the game. I get why it was cut, (Although Sakurai chalked it up to some stupid shit about being posted online.). It was way better then that shitty board game, master and crazy orders, and the trash that is the new classic mode in Smash 4. Considering Smash is a cross over series a decent story mode makes a lot of sense. It took someone with Sakurai's work ethic and mind set to make the series but not all of his decisions are good ideas.

    It's interesting to see just how much Melee changed western gaming. Had Sakurai and his team been given more time to work on the game, we would be living with a very different Nintendo landscape. Who knows? Mother 3 may have even gotten a chance in the US if Lucas had been added in Melee.
    Also, it's cool to see that Sakurai never truly gives up on good ideas. We finally got Ditto in Ultimate, exactly as it was meant to be implemented. Sonic and Snake were added in Brawl, of course. 8-player Smash arrived in Smash for Wii U. I wonder if there are other ideas he would like to add that still can't quite be implemented.

    I remember two years ago, I was playing Melee and I chose tournament mode. While I was selecting the character, it glitched out and guess what character was selected, Ditto. I could not believe it! Once I started the match though, the game crashed. I had to restart the Wii by unplugging the power cable. It wouldn't turn off with the off button. That is why I agree, that Ditto was cut late into Melee's development.
