Representation: Team Rocket represents the anime far better than anyone else as well as pokemon yellow. Let's not forget the fact they use regular poison pokemon and thus represent all of team rocket. The anime itself may not be connected as much to the games, but don't forget that it was the movies who made the pokemon Lucario and Zoroark popular and basicly, posterboys. You wanted nostalgia? THIS IS NOSTALGIA! At least 4.
Popularity: 5 DUH.
Viability: Weezing himself can, admitedly only float. That however is of no significance, since Arbok will be doing the majority of actions. Now, I don't know what you've heard of snakes, dmx, but some species can slither up to 20 km/h while many species grab prey with their tails. Now, just by getting A LITTLE BIT unrealistic, we can easily have Arbok grab opponents, items with his tail. SPEED IS NOT AN ISSUE. 4.
Uniqueness: Obviously, no other character is similar structure wise to either. Additionally, by having them act differently but simultaneously during specials, you can get some very unique results. At least 4.
18/20

I'm wondering why you think holding items is a problem, as they magically float in front of everyone.

Sorry if you saw it unfinished earlier.
Here's something I don't mention often that works behind the scenes and really affects who gets in the roster- Roster Balance.
Roster Balance (not part of the grading system) is checking to make sure that each franchise, company, and Nintendo classic, has enough (or not enough) representatives. We even cut a Pokemon from the roster not too long ago, leaving us at 6 Pokemon (not including each individual). For example, we don't want more Star Fox characters than Zelda characters because Zelda is a more important Nintendo franchise and it was represented this way in previous Smash Bros. titles. Companies (such as Capcom, SEGA, Konami) should not take up an 8th of the roster (Capcom does not, just to let everyone know). Nintendo Classic Characters, such as Mach Rider, Saki, and Litttle Mac, should take of an 8th of the roster, leaving 10 Nintendo Classics.
Roster Balance also checks to make sure that the most important parts of a franchise are covered. For example, there are currently 9 Mario characters total. The parts of the franchise we covered are:
-Characters Currently In Smash Bros. (Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser) -Characters Well Known and Requested For Smash (Toad, B???) -Characters For Reasons Such As Hero/Villain Balance (Rosalina) -Characters That Are Highly Requested and Popular (Geno, P???)
This doesn't include Yoshi, Wario, Waluigi, Donkey Kong, or Diddy Kong.

It doesn't include Yoshi, Wario, Waluigi and Donkey Kong even though they are all Mario characters?
So Paper Mario and Bowser Jr.?
I don't know why you pretend we don't know.

Waluigi (just to be consistent) is part of the Wario series. Yoshi represents Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Story- part of the Yoshi series. Donkey Kong has represented the DK series for years.
I find it funny you didn't comment on the Roster Balance idea. Why must the biggest part of the post be ignored?

Waluigi is NOT A ****ing WARIO CHARACTER! Waluigi has only been in Mario spin-offs, NEVER has he been in a Wario Land or WarioWare. Nor Wario World nor Wario: Master of Disguise. To call him one is just plain stupidity! I guess that means Birdo's a Yoshi character too, huh? And you're one to talk about ignoring big parts. You are one to ****ing talk. NOW I take my leave.

Waluigi is Wario's brother. It would just be plain weird to keep the two separated like that. Besides, Waluigi is bound to appear in a title with Wario some day.
The Birdo and Yoshi thing doesn't make much sense to me. Sure, they normally shared a kart on Mario Kart: Double Dash, but that's all they did. Wario and Waluigi were never apart when they appeared in the same game. Never.

It has not been confirmed or denied that Waluigi is Wario's brother.
It even says on his trophy in Melee: "his relationship to Wario is unclear."

The Birdo and Yoshi thing doesn't make much sense to me. Sure, they normally shared a kart on Mario Kart: Double Dash, but that's all they did. Wario and Waluigi were never apart when they appeared in the same game. Never. The stupidity never ends, does it? 1. Waluigi has not been confirmed nor denied to be Wario's brother. Not even NINTENDO knows for sure whether they're siblings or just two mean dudes that found friendship in each other. Many sources conflict to where we don't know the truth. "Wario and Waluigi have a shaded relationship with each other. Although it is commonly believed he is his brother, Waluigifs Super Smash Bros. Melee trophy says that this is not confirmed, and other games have proven them to not be brothers at all. Some sources state otherwise. However, there are several resources that confirm that Waluigi is Wario's brother. On the European Mario Kart DS site, the first sentence of the information of the track Waluigi Pinball describes Waluigi as "Wario's weird sibling". This can also be elaborated on the fact that the two characters look very much alike. However, in Prima's official strategy guide for Mario Party 5 it announces that Wario and Waluigi aren't brothers under Waluigi's character description. In Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games, it states the two are, as a fact, not brothers. Also, in the Challenge Mode of Mario Super Sluggers, after Wario's team is completed, he names every member of the team, calling Waluigi his "traitor friend" and a "beanpole" after Waluigi tried to keep a treasure chest for himself. After Wario defeats Waluigi in a mission, Wario gets the treasure and Waluigi seems quite happy about joining Wario's team. Waluigi is also on Wario's team in Mario Superstar Baseball. In general their relationship appears to be positive despite frequent bickering between the two tricksters." 2. In multilple sports titles, Birdo has been a "ideal" partner for Yoshi like how Luigi is Mario's and Waluigi is Wario's. "She has a special relationship with Yoshi, since they are often partners in sports and party games. In Mario Kart: Double Dash!! the two are partners and share a similar Special Item. On the official Japanese site for Mario Kart: Double Dash!! the description for Catherine states "Catherine appears to be Yoshi's girlfriend... or does that mean boyfriend!?" (uƒˆƒbƒV[‚̔ޗ‚ÉŒ©‚¦‚ÄŽÀ‚͔ގ!?v)[3] In Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64 they share a tennis court and are default partners; the two are seen to be very affectionate. In Mario Superstar Baseball they have a compatible relationship, she was found on Yoshi's team as an unlockable Sub-Captain, and played with him when he was challenged in Yoshi Park." 3. Waluigi was definitely seperated from Wario in DDR Mario Mix. As well as the M+S Olympics series and Mario Kart AND both Mario Strikers (where Waluigi got his chance to shine personality-wise). In Mario Kart (save for DD), everyone is your enemy. 4. Because it's "bound" to happen, it should be considered as such? Don't count your chickens before they hatch. Until it actually happens, don't count it.

-Mario -Luigi -Wario -Waluigi -Peach -Bowser -Rosalina -Bowser Jr. -Yoshi
By excluding wario, waluigi and yoshi we have 6 mario characters.
Waluigi and Yoshi however ARE nevertheless considered mario characters.

And Golden, I thought you were leaving the forums and you were going to forget about SSBC. I hate to say it, but this is a terrible way of doing it...

Just to be fair, (Not sure if its been said) Pikachu attacks with items from his mouth, so why can't they? And Golden, dont leave the forums because you think someones being kinda dumb. You can always just ignore people. He's 1 of 3/4 members on the dev team. Wait for Phantom or Falcon or ANYONE else. 1 Opinion isnt the end of the world just because his outlook doesn't match yours. Sometimes you should let sleeping dogs lie. =x

It's not his opinion that bothers me, it's all his stupid decisions and bias that has been going on for months. This was merely the straw that broke the camel's back.
