Yep, I'm thinking she's in.

Nah, they'll do a DK+Pauline character for the next smash. They'll gonna rework everyone (at least the ones who will be in, like Mario, Link, Pikachu) or add new characters

Maybe, if they go with young Pauline. But I feel like Sakurai would go with adult Pauline as a newcomer and add elements of her Bananza counterpart if there was a Smash 6.

2B, Mai Shiranui, Chun-Li, Jill Valentine, KOS-MOS, Lip, Adeleine, Dixie Kong, Tinkaton, Pauline, Saki Amamiya, and Ring Fit Trainee should be playable. Smash needs more female characters and sex appeal. Plus, they need more porn and I'm sure their inclusions will prevent boys from becoming homosexuals.
How would you feel about their inclusions?

I agree. I definitely feel like 2B has a chance of getting in. She's everywhere. Mai Shiranui will be in but I just know Sakurai is going to use the leather outfit. As for Dixie Kong, she might be a echo fighter of Diddy Kong.

DK can stand on his own, why would he need a Pauline leech? Pauline is fine as a stage cameo that sings

Similar to the princesses but add Jigglypuff's singing to it and maybe, add those word projectiles from Bananza's co-op to her moveset.

If it's kid Pauline I'm thinking they will pull an ice climbers and put her with DK. Of course players who like DK's moveset would complain about it being changed, so we could have Funky Kong added in and use DK's old moveset.

Really hate how Nintendo made her the girlboss mayor.
Why can't she just be a flirtatious lounge singer?

Nta but Pauline's moveset would likely be made up just like how Ultimate Ganondorf is purely canon. Waluigi should realistically be put in over her both because a moveset that actually makes sense could be put together, and he has more demand. At least Pauline is better than fucking piranha plant.

Honestly, the only thing that's girlbossy about her is being a mayor with a suit, and I'll chalk that as Nintendo wanting her to have a "leader of a kingdom" role similar to the other princesses. She doesn't think she's better than Mario or doesn't need him. In fact, she shows a lot of love and appreciation for him even after he broke up with her some time ago.

There's nothing stopping Waluigi or Pauline from both being in. Smash usually introduces two or more Marioverse characters with every new entry.

It's funny to think that there was a time where it was acceptable to design a completely different character and say it's the same person. If they suddenly changed Pauline where the only thing she has in common is a red dress there'd be an uproar, but people in the 90s seemed to not care. You don't even see much fanart of the og Pauline despite the arcade game being such a big hit.

Probably because the original was repurposed as Peach but since Peach is her own character, they need to change Lady/Pauline to avoid confusion.

Wouldn't it have been simpler to say she was proto-Peach and she wears a different outfit in the Mario vs DK games? I don't think very many people would say that "lady was a different character" if they used Peach in 94 instead.

GOOD MOOOOOOOORNING /v/ I'm here to remind you that we are another day closer to Alear (Yes the trans LGBT friendly dwagon alear from the failed fire emblem engage) getting confirmed for the next smash game for switch 2! Make sure to save your tears and death threats when these zesty freaks walk into the spotlight!
>b-but we are already sick of fire embl-
Too bad anon, Xir/xer will be whenever you like it or not, because ninty is really asspained about that effort wasted on fire emblem engage and Sakurai really loved the gameplay so much that he will rework every single fire emblem fucker to fit with the new canon provided by Engage. The tears and frustrations will be a delicious treat while we wait for Alear to be released!

But then, you have to explain why proto-Peach is the princess of a fantasy kingdom being sought after by Koopa army and why she's in NYC being captured by a ape.

NYC would simply be the prequel games. She also wouldn't have been born royalty, she just so happened to find herself in the Mushroom Kingdom and the Toads just choose to have her be their princess because she looks like a goddess to them or some shit. Movie already did this but she arrived as a baby instead of an adult.

I see where you're going with this, but that would've been too complex to follow for it's time as a simple platform game. That's probably why they went for the soft reboot, instead.

I think that a Smash from 0 is the only possibility after Ultimate, they cant reply the amount of characters they put in Ultimate so i think for Smash 6 they are going to rework the iconic characters, making them basicallly new characters and adding completely new ones that never were in the series before, but without topping Ultimate numbers

I don't think it would have to be very elaborate. Most story narratives in that time period were told in instruction manuals, and Zelda's in particular was a whole essay. They could've written an explanation on why Peach was dressed as a commoner in one scenario and a princess in another scenario without showing you anything on screen. I mean, Mario back then kept flip flopping different settings and scenarios that seemed to have no connection to each other, so why not his girlfriend?

Iβve run into this issue before and even took precautions to make sure my drivers wouldnβt fuck with my Elgato capture card, but it still happenedβ¦.
Iβm pretty disappointed that my recording of the first session of candid gameplay for the beginning of the game got fucked up. Probably going to wipe my file so I can record everything from the beginning in its entirety this time, but it wonβt be the same since I already know what to doβ¦..

More likely they'll just pair her with the new DK, and implement some of her singing to the fighting.

The more I think about it, having Lady = Peach would make more sense just by the lost articles alone. Pauline doesn't even use an umbrella, she even has someone else covering her instead while Peach uses a parasol all the time. But then you wouldn't have a 4th Mario girl, so whatever.
