Why can't you people write something without having to add in an extra five sentences five minutes later? Make it another post, dummy!
No, the characters are much more important than the story when it has been established that the story is unimportant. Bugs Bunny can be in a western one minute and a space adventure the next because the story doesn't matter. But you will not see Bugs suddenly becoming as fast as the Road Runner because that would completely change his character. You can add minor changes here and there, but major ones like that would be wrong. Now, you can make him very fast by showing him being fitted with biomechanical parts ala the 60 million dollar man and then make a fun cartoon about that, but you can't just have his character fundamentally changed with no explanation whatsoever.
Quote:Suddenly, the jumper can PUNCH out of nowhere! He's not a martial arts expert! There WERE lots of things changed in SSB. Link is an amalgam of all previous Links. That's not believable at all. You see, if you respond saying "I already pointed out story is irrelevent", then you are being a moron. First off, just because you say it from nowhere doesn't mean we must believe it, second off, THAT'S EXACTLY OUR POINT. We agree with that! It EXTENDS TO ABILITIES TOO THOUGH! If something as major as story can be tossed out, why not abilities? Those aren't more critical than the story of the characters! The gameplay is all that matters! So long as they play in ways that make you think "oh yeah, this is totally that character" then it's fine! And flying with kazooie at top speed WOULD make you do that!
YOU KNOW IT TO BE TRUE!
