Overall, I'd say 2. Looking at Ridley for instance, I wanted him because he was a character I greatly enjoyed in his franchise. He had a very cool design that crossed elements of dragons, xenomorphs, and pterosaurs, his fights generally were a highlight of the games he appeared in, and I...

You could, though in turn you could make the counterargument that Ultimate's Echoes overall are closer to their original counterparts than even Melee's (again, aside from maybe Ken). So even in that respect Ultimate's clones may not have taken as much time or resources, though that's getting a...

It had 11 new characters, but not all characters took the same amount of time, resources, and development which is likely what was meant by the previous post. The Echoes like Dark Samus and Daisy certainly did not take as much time as those like Ridley or K. Rool for instance, and thus in that...

I'm going to concur with what's being said on Lucario. While I would like a couple new moves like Bone Rush for him, I feel what Lucario needs first and foremost is a rework to Aura. This is a character that was voted the second most popular of his franchise some years back, and yet in Smash...

They'll charge for them since they still take work, but they may charge less. It's been a while, but IIRC the First Party Veterans did cost less than their Third Party and First Party Newcomer counterparts back in Smash 4. Edit: Found it. Roy, Mewtwo, and Lucas cost $3.99, Corrin cost $4.99...

There are multiple reasons why that doesn't really track, but one of the big reasons is that dexit hit hard because of how unprecedented it was at that point. We were given little reason to expect it at the time as Pokemon has historically built up and retained its roster, and then when the news...

In Japan it seems to be Primarina>Incineroar>Decidueye going off of the Nintendo Dream poll. Globally it's Decidueye>Incineroar>Primarina going off of the Pokemon of the Year poll.

If we're talking competitively, then it should be noted Toon Link is more popular in Japan so that's not exclusively in YL's favor. That said, competitive is only a fraction of Ultimate's player base and the only ones who would know for certain which one is played more ob a broader scale would...

You guys, he's totally a dragon with fur.

Dependent on a number of factors that we aren't currently privy to. What's the next game going to look like if it's not a deluxe? A total reboot? A typical sequel? Those would have different answers and honestly even those could vary in success depending on the direction. A typical sequel that...

It's not just about the extreme examples like the ones you mentioned, there are many custom moves that just... weren't worth using over their original counterpart and many ended up using the originals, and both of those characters had those weaker options. If Dark Samus or Daisy were saddled...

There's probably two reasons that didn't happen. The first is that Echoes are meant to be easy clones they can slot in with limited time and resources, and balancing is a major component of how long it takes for a character to be developed. With the Echoes they just had to balance them against...

That brings back memories, I can still remember all the arguments for him back in those days. Honestly, it's sad that he faded into obscurity as he was a cool villain, I wished they used him more.

Surprisingly more, Raven Beak and the Mawkin aren't that skinny. Area Zero (Pokemon SV) Sylvalum (Xenoblade Chronicles X) Ancestral Steppe (MH4) Ferenia (Metroid Dread) The Flying Kroc (DKC2)

In retrospect, it's kind of funny that the transformation gimmick helped ZSS as it's probably the clunkiest implementation of the mechanic in the franchise. To use it you either needed to use the FS, which not only could be turned off but also required the player to get the Smash Ball, or use a...
