it would be very awkward to see Dr. Mario using F.L.U.D.D., imo.

Why, though? He's still Mario. They aren't separate beings. The same Mario that dresses up as a doctor and flings pills is the same Mario that jumped around Isle Delfino.
It's just a costume.

that is true

Dr. Mario is implied to not be canon to the main Mario universe, so no, it's not the same Mario.

Anybody who takes canon seriously in the Mario universe is doing it wrong.

If Mario gets a new model I see no reason why the fireballs can't too. And honestly I don't think FLUDD would matter much.

So, Fireballs that just look like Megavitamins yet still cause fire damage.

Good idea.  

And yeah, F.L.U.D.D. would matter quite a bit considering Dr. Mario shooting Fireballs was an issue Sakurai had with the idea of a costume.

これ、いただきかも。
ただ、ドクターマリオがファイアボールというのは似合わないかもしれませんね。

F.L.U.D.D. would be even WORSE.

That's why I'm taking it seriously in the Dr. Mario universe, since the main point that you missed was that it's separate.

The pills can be on fire. And I still think arguing canon in a franchise in that has an incredibly loose canon is bad enough, but to then apply it to a non-canon crossover game that ignores all canon is ridiculous.

And if they did care about canon, then surely Mushroom Kingdom II wouldn't exist in Melee.

What does Mushroom Kingdom II in Melee have to do with anything? Yeah, it was a dream world technically, but characters like the Shy Guys and Birdo appear in other Mario games, which does imply that world could actually exist, it was just a location for the dream in SMB2.

Why are we even discussing this I have no idea...

Major troll today on Miiverse, it seems alternate skins of Volnutt and .EXE for Mega Man is looking pretty good right now.

It's not going to happen lmao
They are nowhere near the same size

I don't know much about proportion control in games, but does anybody know if it would be possible to take the same model and adjust the limb size?

Of course it would be possible, but it's not going to happen none-the-less.

Well I could see Volnutt working, the others would look weird.

The most likely alt skin though IMO would be a Mega Man with no helmet. It's boring but it makes the most sense.

How about a Protoman costume?

Protoman could work, there's also the Rush Power Adapter, Jet Adaptor and Super Adaptor thinking about it.

Protoman is not Megaman though

Also no even if they shrunk down the limbs it would look stupid

Well, I meant like a costume that makes megaman similar looking to Protoman. Ex. Mario's costume in Melee to represent Wario or Luigi's costume to look like NES luigi. They're not the same in size, yes, but it doesn't have to be exactly PROTOMAN.

But then you would be playing as Volnutt, not as Mega Man.

I mean they only allow you to play as both genders of the Wii Fit Trainer and Villager because they have vague enough names to allow this to happen. If they were given specific character names (for example: Wii Fit Trainer as Lana and Villager as John) it wouldn't make sense to play as a guy named Lana or a girl named John.

That said, I'd expect Helmetless / Quint as the only real plausible costumes choices (but Rush adaptor would fit in pretty nicely too).
A Protoman inspired palette swap is plausible and I'm personally hoping for a Bad Box Art Mega Man palette.

So any last minute guesses for Friday?

Nothing involving a new character.

Captain America confirmed as Disney representative.

I expect a new move variation.

New Costume or move for a veteran.

Today, we got a better look at the Pac Man Maze exclusive to the 3DS version.

The gimmick is that getting 100 pellets will reveal a power pellet in your color. Getting it will turn the ghosts blue on your screen, and ONLY your screen, so they can still hurt your enemies. Yes, you can "eat" them by touching them.

It's a nice concept but it seems like a waste of time to collect the pellets IMO. I mean if a ghost is killed by you then it would disappear on everybody's screen so there's no advantage.

Unless you gain health from eating the ghosts, then it could work.

Heavenly light confirmed

I also completely forgot Diddy Kong was in the game
