Just as I predicted lol.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I 100% agree with the guy that I posted about. My point was that if there are that many people to negotiate with (Especially in Square Enix's case where they don't bother to buy their music) then we'll probably end up getting two songs and no spirits except for the smash renders of Erdrick or Sora just like with Cloud and Midgar.
Personally I want both. Love both Chrono Trigger (the SNES game) and Dragon Quest series in general.
In regards to Erdrick, I'm with you there; I don't really care about Dragon Quest in general, and I care even less about Erdrick. Regarding Joker, I actually was pretty neutral on him when he was first shown off at the Game Awards due to not being familiar with his game. The big reason I got excited for him when his gameplay trailer released was because between his reveal and then, I had watched a playthrough of Persona 5 and loved the story.
I would totally buy Mumbo, Gruntilda, and Jinjo Mii costumes if they become a thing.
Sorry. I'm just more used to characters being needlessly-complex (based on the games I usually play). Unfortunately, I don't have much of a way to play the N64 games, so all I can do is take your word for it.
For me, at this point, Banjo-Kazooie and Sora are the only characters that would get me super-hyped; after that, I wouldn't really care one way or another about anyone else getting in, because then my three most-wanted characters would be in.
The only character left for me after Banjo & Kazooie that would get me as excited just as much as them, K. Rool, and Ridley would be Goemon. If you don't know who he is, he is the guy with the blue hair and the umbrella in my avatar.
What the hell?! That is exactly my opinion and what I did! I was neutral about his inclusion and then I watched a playthrough of Persona 5 and now I like him.
I think it's mostly because Bethesda are so devoted to the Switch at the moment. As for why Doomguy... well, it's either the demon-killer or the Nazi-killer, and not many people are fans of politics in video games.
1. Spyro
As a long-time Persona/Megami Tensei fan, Joker's reveal was pretty much nothing short of a fever dream. I think I might have channeled Etika or something.
We literally have Bayonetta who’s whole thing is being as sexy as possible killing things. Snake snaps people’s necks.
Rare Replay? That has Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie with Stop & Swop (i.e. the thing where you collect special items in one game and use them in the other) fully implemented. Well worth your time.
I like Joker because I'm a huge fan of Persona 4 and Joker is tangentially related to that. Honestly, Chie from Persona 4 would be a crazy hype character for me (albeit not on the level of Banjo), but I realize how improbable that is.
Aw, but killing Nazis isn't politics! It's our civic duty. Like separating our trash from our recyclables.
Remove blood. Problem solved.
Nah. As long as he hits hard and plays fun, he's good.
That is true but Doom Guy is to Japan what Erdrick is to us.
I can offer a few reasons as to why he's qualified to be in Smash Ultimate.
We have three characters hailing from M-rated games: Snake, Bayonetta, and Joker.
Sexy as possible. Bayonetta is suggestive and flamboyant at best, her stripping got heavily watered down. Snake snapping peoples necks also isn’t too much compared to other characters like Ridley piercing with a spiked tail, all of snakes attacks are explosives.
I only played the 2016 game, but he has a large arsenal of guns and could lean towards the more explosive ones like Snake. Then again, Joker has a literal gun so who knows how things work at this point. I think a main "mechanic" of his could be weakening his opponents from afar to a certain point, where they become vulnerable to a special melee finisher for a lot of damage. Which is Doom 2016's combat in a nutshell.
Is this the start of a redemption arc?
I'm not a huge DOOM fan myself; I've only ever played the new one in 2016. What I know of that and vaguely know from the old games, Doomguy seems like a very angry, pissed off type. If they gave him an aggressive looking playstyle and animations I think that'd work.
i'm free from my exams, and now i'm on vacation so what did i miss?
I think Verge is staking his credibility on this one. If he's wrong, then I think that should kill whatever's left of his credibility as a leaker people can trust despite whatever backpedeling he'll pull.
Yeah, I said it before and I'll say it again: You can't come back from predicting two characters with at- or near-100% certainty and expect anyone to ever believe you again, no matter how much you rationalize it. Especially not when one of those character has been a fan-favorite pick for almost two decades.
This should just about cover everything going on in the past few days. This was compiled by MonkeyDLenny or at least posted by him.hey it's been a longtime guys
You know he's going to backpedal hard if he's wrong on this. Toying with the fans of a heavily requested character is not going to sit well with many people, but I'm sure some people will find some excuse to believe him regardless.
No, it is the start of a rise of redemption, followed by its fall, by which I mean the 20th fall or whatever.
I am completely with you. Erdrick is the definition of an anti-hype pick for me. I don’t think we’re alone in that either. But people will keep claiming he’s “for the East” even though he’s never come close to being top 10 on a most wanted newcomer poll in Japan lol
Good point. As I mentioned earlier, he's putting his reputation on the line here. He's had plenty of time to clarify if he's unsure or got incorrect information. I'm still keeping an eye on anything he says, but so far, we have little reason to doubt him.
The guy still has time to tweet dad jokes on the daily, so unless he's trolling - which would be absolutely insane, given his position - I think we can stick with the notion that, at worst, he was given a false tip.
Really? I always thought it was just a sleeper hold lol.
