A random Mario facts about me - I actually prefer Mallow over Geno - Luigi is the best thing - I am ashamed of the fact that I like Antasma tbh...i don't know why
He has like...one fanclub in dA....(compared to Dimentio who has like 10+)...and a lot of people say he is not as good as other villains in the series (which I agree TO AN EXTENCT).. I guess I will be proud fangirl xD (actually most of my friends like him tbh... I am friends with many cool people)
How are you sure. But still true..He may not be as popular as Fawful or Dimentio but he has his own fanbase who will always stay loyal for our nightmare king (I remember that I joked that Antasma fans should be called his army or something xD)
I see ^^ . That's a cool fact The first Mario RPG character I liked was either Doopliss or Fawful (I have liked mario RPGs since 2010 when I first discovered them). Out of partners I have always loved Vivian (since I discovered TTYD)

Antasma may be less popular but wait until he get a second appearance which ascend him to Count Bleck level tragic villain...
Through in Japan he seems pretty popular, getting above Dimentio and Fawful in a "favourite mario rpg character" poll (funnily enough Dreambert won the poll)
By the way Luigi is quite possibly one of the very first character i became a fan of, when i was very young, i would alway end up playing with him on the SNES and so i took a liking for him.
I liked Luigi more than Mario as well for that jumping ability. I just make sure to jump when I want to stop to avoid his ice skating slide off the edges.
Dreambert winning is a joke. He is not even my favorite helper, let alone ahead of those guys.
Values dissonances what seem odd to us is appealing for other in another country.
Antasma is popular in japan because his personality is apparently appealing for them (seem it's because his tragic persona is a bit more defined and also because he do not screech at every sentences instead having a tic like Fawful)
They crazy! CRAZY! I SPIT on their values and their Rubee currency or whatever it is.
Was Bleck popular there? He should have been if they like tragic characters. I wonder what was appealing about Dreambert. They better like Pennington too!
Antasma is like King Boo: A great first game showing. Now all Antasma needs is a sequel like Dark Moon to boost him further.
Japanese oppinion of tas are pretty much "Akkumu-san (Mr.Antasma) is a cool character with an interesting personality, too bad they wasted him, now if he could come back..."
Surprisingly no (Dimentio is higher than him), through as i said Mr.L is the most popular villain.
A sequel would help fleshing out his character and i suppose being an arc villain like Fawful rather than a one shot will help increasing his popularity.
Mr. L is my boy and a member of Team Bleck (Changed to make room for Antasma Army). ^_^ I love Mr. L and Dimentio was the most evil villain, by far. He was amazing, from start to end. I was always on edge when he was around.
Fawful went from a boss before the final boss, to store owner, to main villain.
Antasma might follow that path. He needs a store now.
I agree, through LM:DM King Boo is pretty close to him
I would like Antasma to come back as final boss next game because i'am not sure what kind of thing he could sell you and why he would sell it to you since he kind of hate you (i think the only way would be that he is amnesic, mario & co doesn't recognize him and his memory only come back after you completed his sidequest)

So I guess my idea for Antasma cereal is out of the question. He could sell those. Batty-O's! ^_^
King Boo is close in terms of evil. He always means business.
True about Antasma being a store owner. Fawful was only able to because the babies saw him and he did not recognize them, so you amnesia idea would work. Something.
Oh my gosh I missed this awesome discussion. it was so cool
Still I didn't know that japanese people had polls like this. Was it official? or just a fanmade poll? (either way I am jealous)
Also another way I can see Tas being a shopkeeper is that the game has some playable characters who he hasn't met before (like say Wario bros) and only those characters can accsess his shop...kinda like with Fawful's bean and badge in PiT altho amnesiac Tas would be the cutest thing ever I swear Still I would love that if his cameo role was that he would be a bonus boss or something (shameless king Boo RPG here

Thats a good idea . IWANT TH E CANDIES (this reminds me when i wanted to bake "actual" Antasmunchies (which would have been filled with chokolate no worries here) but I never did because when I told my mom that "I want to bake these " she was like "there is no reciepe so we won't bake.... It was a shame since I really wanted to have those on my birthday u.u)
Amnesiac Tas would be the cutest thing tho (because I imagine that he would be kinda dork AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW *fangirl squeal and dont ask why I imagine him being a dork.xD*...i might draw the redesign of him..;3
As for the first Mario character I liked I go the cliche and say Yoshi. Also Toadette (and Birdo oddly enough) then Rosalina, then I discovered the RPGs ( when I was like 12) and started to like Doopliss and Fawful (and Kamek too but he is not a RPG character)

Luigi: Yahoo !
Shopkeeper: But enough talking, let's go back to the affairs, vut do you vant to buy ?
Shokeeper: Thanks for your help, i haff finally made the rarest candy of this vorld, here is something for you vhich may help you...

Yes, now i return, I the Bat king, no, ANTASMA !!
"A demonic laugh his heard"
Later as Mario & Luigi come back there is a new shopkeeper saying that the last one mysteriously disapeared.
This was very good. I enjoyed to read it ^^. I really wish that this could be in a real game..it could be REALLY good and cool foreshadowing (altho I probably never would finish the sidequest because of reasons)
OH MY GODH. I WOULD LOVE IT. HIM BEING PLAYBALE I DONT ANYMORE CARE FOR IF WE GET ANY KING BOOS IN MARIO KART IF THIS IS A THING. PLEASE ALPHADREAM. I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER IF YOU MAKE MY BBY TO BE PLAYABLE UWU
