Unpopular opinions about the Super Smash Bros series.

I was waiting for someone to quote BiTF when the pic of the day was revealed.

It's Doopliss turning into Ditto that transformed into Mega Man, dummy.

Who is then eaten by Kirby who then puts on a Deku Mask,

Who is then eaten by another Kirby who gets eaten by a Yoshi and turns into an egg.

No. The joke was about transformations. Yoshi has nothing to do with it.

My unpopular opinion? I'd be perfectly fine if Dr. Mario came back. It would be great for people who played him in Melee to get their main back. And don't give me that crap that they could just "transition to Mario" Any experienced player will tell you that Dr. Mario and Mario (and all the clones) have different play styles. A Mario main can't just up and play Doc the same way he plays Mario right away.

I agree with 100%.

Dr. Mario can work as an alternate costume, but most people don't realize how good Dr. Mario is. Dr. Mario just isn't himself without that sexy f-air, that d-air, and that b-air.

I'd really love Dr. Mario as an alternate character back.

I'd say Roy is the only Melee clone who had a big playstyle difference from its basis character. The rest can adapt after an hour or two of playing and learning.

No, he adapts just as much as any clone. The only major difference is his weight and his different sweet spot.

No, MOST, if not all, of Dr. Mario's moves have different properties.

But you can say that with any clone.

Pills are also better than fireballs.

Sakurai also said even the slightest difference in play style would turn an alternate costume into a character. Doc has two unique specials moves and unique f-smash, in addition to his cloned moves having different effects.

You could argue Doc could use fireballs, but Sakurai has even stated that Doc shooting fire would look odd. If Doc is in the game, he's gonna be his own character and not a costume.

^But hasn't the people at Project M found a way to change Mario's fireballs into pills when playing as the Dr. Mario costume?

I'd have to bring up Project M again, but Dr. Mario is treated as an alternate costume there, but he still shoots pills instead, and his f-smash is still electricity.

It's been forever since I played Melee, but...Roy is a clone? For some reason, he's stuck out in my memory as having distinct differences from Marth.

Roy is a clone. Same move, same animations, but the attacks have different properties.
