Again, that's at least the bare minimum. Presuming every franchise represented gets at least one or two stages, with the obligatory Final Destination and Battlefield thrown in the mix, it should be roughly around 30 stages. Again, not counting returning stages.
I had a great tournament match on the Summit once. Both me and my opponent were tied 1-1 in a best of 3. We were on both of our last lives for about 4 minutes just smacking each other around and not dying. IT was awesome.That stage is fantastic, I love that stage for some reason too.
To be fair we had 9 original Smash 64 stages (not including the Metal Mario stage, Battlefield, Final Destination, and the Tutorial Stage), Melee had 24 original stages (not including Final Destination, Battlefield, the 3 Smash 64 stages, and all the incomplete stages), and Brawl had 29 original stages (not including all the SSE stages, the incomplete stages, Battlefield, Final Destination, and the Melee stages).
Except ROB, Pokemon Trainer and Diddy are actually interesting characters people want to play with. It's also not individual points but the sum of them all. (Also, Sakurai made a trophy of the ducks before the dog).
Yes, I understand Accounting 101. Revenue-expenses=profits. That's not the point. The point is that your ignoring the cost for "IT WILL SELL MORE IT WILL SELL MORE." That is even a farce since we can't prove Snake or Sonic really did anything for sales (which was probably very little since the games sold 5 million and 7 million before this one).
You don't use Marginal cost/Profit in the real world since it's too hard to tell when that actually happens. As a matter of fact, you don't use economics in business (besides supply and demand perhaps). Economics is great if you want to be a politician. For business, your better off looking at Accounting, specifically Cost Accounting for this kind of discussion. Accounting is the language of business you know.
I used a measurement to prove that Sonic caused an increase in at least exposure.
It's OK. I do it a lot I'm sure.
Yoshi's Island is a bad stage because of the clouds that encourage camping. Maybe if it returned with the clouds gone, then maybe it'd be a good stage but I doubt they would remove the clouds. IIRC, the blast zones are kind of wonky so maybe if they fixed that too.
That is true, we can see that stages have flaws when they are dislike by both the casual and competitive communities.
Yoshi's Story is that awesome super combo stage in Melee.
From what I've found, that's not true at all.I used a measurement to prove that Sonic caused an increase in at least exposure.
Brawl Dojo visits before Sonic was confirmation: A few hundred thousand or so unique visitors every week.
Brawl Dojo visits the week Sonic was confirmed: Over one million unique visits.
This alone proves that Sonic exposed probably thousands of new people to the hype of Brawl. The Dojo went from being covered by just super serious Nintendo blogs nearly daily, sites like IGN every major update (ie: a character, new stage, or major content like the SSE is confirmed), to having articles written on major news/internet sites such as CNN, Yahoo, and NBC about Sonic being confirmed in Brawl. It was also the talk of G4 for quite a while, and was mad hyped. Major gaming sites like IGN and Game Trailers also went from covering the Dojo every once in a while to covering many-if not all of the Dojo updates. Oh, and don't forget that Sonic being playable in the E For All demo stole the show at E For All that year. Metal Gear Solid 4 and Super Mario Galaxy were oddly left in the background, and had smaller lines according to my friends who went!
You gotta tell me that exposure, hype, and news of Sonic being playable in Brawl sold at least a few thousand copies.
1. He has nothing? He is a dog. Dogs can fight. Not only that, he is a cartoony dog, not a real life puppy like Nintendog. His job as a hunting dog is pointing and fetching ducks AND he is aware he is in a video game (why else would he laugh at you, knowing you cannot do squat about it?). Put two and two together and we got a character who points fingers to direct the person who is playing Duck Hunt where to shoot AND handles the ducks to fly and to swing them like rubber chickens. So, yeah... I took the very gameplay itself from Duck Hunt and made it into a moveset that breaks the fourth wall.
No, just smash bros. history.
Not necessarily. When Smash Bros stopped becoming a generic fighting game and became Smash Bros, actual Nintendo employees were pissed at Sakurai for crossing over such characters, universes, and whatnot into a fighting game.
I love the characters, stages, NPCs, and content from Smash 64 as well.
I guess. Maybe a better option would be say Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, Kiddy Kong. Imagine them in every smash bros game (as if DK was never in any smash bros game). That's a weird image.
It doesn't work that way. Smash Bros. started as a Nintendo All-Star game. It has to have the All-Stars. You have to rewrite Nintendo history in order to actually make it work.
This makes it sound like Dragon King: The Fighting Game would've been a super top seller. Pure generic ones did sell way back then before we started to establish full characters. Thus, it just doesn't work. If they were new characters, sure, it could work. But just generic frames of characters wouldn't ultimately sell.
I just wish Final Stage would work with the GameShark. XD(BTW, it's not called Final Destination in the first game, the name originates from Melee, Smash-wise, that is)
...Dur? But as I said, that would require to either have no Nintendo characters(as in originals like Mortal Kombat, etc. did) or that you'd have to rewrite Nintendo. A Nintendo All-Star game can't work without Mario, the main face of Nintendo.
I think the overall problem is that you're giving almost no credit to the faces of Nintendo themselves. The secondary characters are nice, but they alone don't sell nearly as often, exceptions abound.
you know, Capcom may have now left a permanent stain on the history of DLC. before, people didn't really care and loved any DLC(Undead Nightmare is a good example) and Capcom themselves did DLC well(SSFIVAE), but due to the SFxT debacle, them offering the REAL ending to Asura's Wrath as DLC(alternate ending? cool. real ending? what?) and the on disc issue which they said they are gonna get rid of(they stated Dragon's Dogma will be the last game with on disc DLC), now everyone thinks all DLC is either
Note this doesn't fit what I said regarding Sonic, so perhaps that was inaccurate. Maybe I've read too many Sakurai interviews over the years!
Ahhh, so many memories. I remember that day of going onto the DOJO and seeing that "WARNING: NEW CHALLENGER APPROACHING" banner and scrolling down to see Ike. I was so excited to see him, and I barely knew who he was. lol
So he is a dog. Big whoop. ROB was a freakin' ROBOT. If we want a dog, let's just add the Nintendog. Their dogs too. You can get hunting dogs in Nintendogs. And more people played it. Or why don't we get characters from the NES days who have moves.
So your counter point is to say that a character that supposedly I defend but haven't talk about in this conversation at all (let alone the last few months) is weaker than your character. It shows that your argument is paper thin. You can't even BS a response.
Back in Melee, Sakurai wanted to add a character from the Famicom games and he picked Ice Climbers. Do you see Balloon Fighter, Excite Bike man, or Bubbles in Smash? No. He wanted one character to represent those games, Duck Hunt included. ROB was added for history much like Game and Watch. Up till now, there hasn't been a famicom character other than ice Climbers and the Disk characters.
So what does this even have to do with Duck Hunt Dog? See, are you even defending the character any more or trying to say that every characters sucks so yours sucks relatively less. For the rest, see point 1.
So he's refernced in the game by a few sentences in another charcaters trophy? This is low even for you. I hope you see how poor your defence was in you had to defend it with ignorable phrases in another characters trophy. Notice how the DUCKS were being referenced by the trophy and not the dog.
I know you are talking about Chu. But is this part a reference to me=??? As for where I roam... I do not inform you of where I am at. Except Sunday. I'm going to a tournament!

I know, seeing as you how you have a knight-ish character in your avatar.<<< That smirk smile ain't showing up on my screen.
It's just I'm used to being the only person referred to as knight, especially since nothing about Arc seems like conjures up the word "knight."
Also, link me the Destructoid article if it is funny!
Pretty much this. It's one thing to do this for characters like Doctor Mario or Pichu, but not two of the most requested characters for SSB4.
Ironically, you spelled grammar wrong. And forgot a period at the end of your last sentence with "Barring unfinished chars".If we're talking about grammer/spelling then Diddy, you know it's of course, right? And ssbf you interchange whatever and whenever.
I hate day 1 dlc. I don't mind paying for dlc but if it's day one or locked on the disc it should be included in the game. Barring unfinished chars
