All this talk of Final Fantasy has me curious. They’ve rereleased just about every 3D Final Fantasy game except one, and avoided the MMO’s... What if they add Lightning from Ff13 to Smash?

Again, this is not a public domain issue. This is a respect issue. I don’t know much about Ryuto Kawashima so I can’t make an argument for or against him as an assist trophy and whether it’s appropriate or not. Red Badge of Courage is still fiction, and I offered an olive branch of Dynasty...

I’ve explained this in the simplest way I can think of and still this idea that DW’s interpretation gives it a pass. It’s not a rights issue. Dracula is not even pretending to be based on the original source material and Castlevania follows protagonists not in that source material anyway...

This keeps coming up, and I really don’t understand why so many people think this is a good idea. Dynasty Warriors characters are book characters in a video game that interprets the book(s). I know the musou series is huge but they are all based on other material. For a parallel, they would...

Most of which were introduced before we had Ryu on the roster, so are a moot point. I never said she played like Ryu. Ken dispute having the same moves as Ryu plays nothing like Ryu Terry wasn’t high on my list but Terry was clearly going to have enough differences from Ryu and Ken to stand...

Thinking on Morrigan a bit more I realized that Sakurai would not likely chose her if she was on a list of candidates for a very simple reason: Mechanically, she’s basically another Ryu. She has attacks that are certainly flashier and more thematic, but at the end of the day she still has a...

Yeah not buying that. Chun Li would get into Smash before Morrigan, if not for Cero issues then because Chun Li is considered the First Lady of fighting games. The other information in the post on SFV characters and a new dark stalkers game are also dubious at best.

MvCI did one big thing wrong, took its audience for granted. It slapped old character assets into an engine and art style that did not mesh, and held back the most interesting characters for DLC because it got overconfident thinking if they make it people will come. Dragon ball Fighterz coming...

I’m going into the next set of dlc with the thinking that easy to implement additions will get priority over characters being built from scratch. Therefore, I would not count out one or two assists getting upgraded. Not every AT is likely, but characters like Zero, Alucard, and Knuckles are...

Two things that might be going against them: They’ve had a few reboots but are still largely unknown, and may have to compete with other beat-em up characters ( River City Ransom, Final Fight, etc). Secondly is potentially copyrights issues. Something weird is definitely going down when Double...

I know everyone’s going nuts on the infinite dlc, but I’ll keep mine succinct. 5 newcomers Earthworm Jim (Earthworm Jim series) Zitz (Battletoads series) Rex /Bloop/ Spike/ Gwen (Trog) Ristar (Ristar) Marina Lightyears (Mischief Makers) 3 echo fighters Rash - Faster, lighter, and higher...

Yeah until I hear otherwise I’m assuming the following: There is no Battle Pass 2/Season2 Future DLC is sold individually No new companies (excluding whoever is Battle Pass character 5) Echos and semi clones are extremely likely Sakurai seemed to indicate that he’s just crunching out as much...

Obscurity is relative. You didn’t own a SNES which is right about the era SNK fighting games were a big deal. They didn’t show up on the N64 because it didn’t have the audience that the PSX did. The only GameCube game was Capcom vs SNK 2 EO that I remember. From that point forward it was...

Just to add to that, out of the few SNK characters that are being discussed, Nakoruru would be the most interesting from a design aspect. Kyo and Terry may vary in their fighting style but their gameplan is not much different from Ryu or Ken’s. Haohmaru while using a katana would still be a...

I wasn’t sold on Nakoruru being a Samurai Showdown rep until I read this on her wiki page: So she’s become a bit of a cultural icon in Japan not just as a game character, but an environmentalist. That’s above the call of duty for a potential Smash fighter. Needless to say, I’m coming around...
