To be fair, The Loud House Revamped's word count is due to tons of text stolen from Wikipedia/Wikia articles. Something that Subspace Emissary World's Conquest, IIRC, does not do.
I still don't mind Echoes either way.
Again, for the sixth time, I am simply saying I believe we have the ability to have the same roster as Smash Ultimate in the next game and then some. Just in case anyone may have missed it. Whether we get it or not for real is a mystery until then but I am optimistic.Sure, you can believe that. I just think it happening cannot come without drawbacks, just like SSBU did.I still don't mind Echoes either way.
But, again, EIH wasn't flawless. A smaller amount of newcomers in base with some of them being clones with zero (intentional) gameplay differences, and the oddball character, Stage Builder, and Home-Run Contest had to come in later updates. Now just imagine having to do it again with more companies involved, we'd be lucky if we even get World of Light 2 and any newcomer resources to dedicated to a first-party that needed fans to save them from irrelevancy like K. Rool.
And a few other problems too, like barely getting any new stages in the base game, and World of Light being a lot more underwhelming than it could have been.
It...absolutely does.
It CAN. But most people don't want it to.
Being an Echo is a gift. Because those 2 wouldn't be playable at all otherwise.
There are lots of ideas for the reboot.
Pyra is in the lead by over 400 votes
damn… guess that time he was broken in Smash 4 soured them all on the character huh
Bayonetta got a lot more votes than him, though.
As someone who's already stated plenty of times that he thinks doing EIH again will have plenty of drawbacks, based on doing EIH once having ones that should be more noticeable, I believe a reboot would just be...more resources dedicated to newcomers and side content. Maybe an underlying mechanic for the core gameplay.
Or Japan has different tastes.
I don't believe for an instant Japan prefers Byleth over Cloud and Sephiroth. Something about that poll is BS.
I’m happy to see my two favorites, Sephiroth and Ganondorf, place as highly as they did. Hopefully that speaks well for Sephiroth’s possible return.
I don’t trust any fan polls online to be totally representative of overall popularity given only a small percentage of enthusiast players engage in online discussion, but nothing about this strikes me as unbelievable.
Well those are really the few ways of Smash fresh, new and not to seen as downgrade to Ultimate. Plus, it's a reboot: distinctive new iteration of the series. Just cutting characters, which I agree is inevitable but just doing that and nothing is more of a downgrade than a reboot. Those ideas like you said reinvent the wheel of Smash going without making future iterations looking like worse versions of what got before but a new take going forward.
You say as if other crossovers media such as Fortnite and MCU aren't one of the most popular media in their respective spaces especially when the former literally has just that. Skins. But that doesn't stop them from being where they are today. Didn't stop people getting hype and specualtion for Naruto, The Rock and Spiderman getting in and speculation for other characters like Goku for coming.
I thought it was pretty obvious it was a gameplay thing.
Fire Emblem Three Houses is really ****ing popular in Japan my guy. Also Byleth is fun to play.
Yes, but this was all done within the context of smash... The platform fighter... Not movie smash... Or 3d smash... or competitive smash... Idk why such ridiculous propositions are being proposed, when, like it or not, smash is staying the same. There's gotta be a larger reason as to why apparently most characters are returning, yet apparently a smash movie is deemed anywhere close to a legitimate possibility. People play smash, for smash... Maybe you'd rather smash 6 be a movie or something like that... But I'll just say that if you're waiting for something like that to happen for smash, then you're better off not, cos it's flat out never happening... Sakurai has literally said why the gameplay stays the exact same. If you're on a smash website, then you kinda have to like the gameplay too... Smash gets way more love out of it's crossovers than the likes of Fortnite... Cos it portrays them distinctly... It would not have boasted 23 mil copies if everyone was the exact same...
Because Sakurai states himself Cuts are coming whilst those ideas are still in the air. Open suggestions>>>>Deconfirmed ones.
It's already a multimillion selling series. The wheel does not to be reinvented.
Local Smash fan learns that people can have different opinions from him, more at 11.
If they want to keep that way, they gotta
That's not the way it works. Tekken 7 is a huge seller even with the gameplay being largely similar to 5, which was meant to return to a more Tekken 3- esque environment after 4's gameplay changes were divisive.
Another good example is the Pokémon series. Those games are selling better than ever despite minimal gameplay changes. What little they did change ended up upsetting a lot of people. On the other hand, they did drastically cut the roster and a lot of people were disappointed but it didn’t translate to fewer sales.
Tekken Tag Tournament 1/2 are its Everyone Is Here games. And after Tag 2 came...Tekken 7, a game whose base roster focused more on newcomers than most prior Tekkens, and once again, it was a multimillion seller, much more than Tag 2 was.
Then I can believe that.
Literally what both Tekken Tag Tournament games are.
It's by the same site who published the April poll, and it is taking gameplay into account (it might be the main consideration, and this might be mainly casual-level). 47000 votes were cast in total, up from ca. 19000 in the April poll.
: 69th -> 7th : 83rd -> 48th : 48th -> 24thI'm not sure if it's that; moreso that Diddy's a very atypical character at a casual level, doesn't have a lot of obvious-at-first-glance kill moves and has an atypical recovery that takes some time getting used to. In other words, a pretty steep learning curve. The difference between a casual Diddy and an intermediate one is pretty big - nevermind masters like Tweek and Etsuji who can make Diddy move around as if they were DKC speedrunners.
, , ) who would be way more popular if they were ranked strictly by character and not taking the gameplay into account I'd wager. Most of the top-placing characters are new and / or very straightforward.A Spectate mode experiment from way back in August / Sept. 2020 where the Youtuber in question spectated 300K matches led to a similar conclusion; it found out that Byleth was the 7th most played character in that dataset. And I'd imagine Byleth benefits from quite a lot of stuff:
There's no need lol. If they wanted to do a movie, they would have done it... you're on smashboards, so you kinda have to like the gameplay to like smash.... You said you don't view smash as some giant crossover spectacle, well this suggests otherwise. These frankly ridiculous proposals that just seem like ideas that you think would be cool, yet are apparently anywhere in the realm of possibility. Everyone returning is way more likely than all these proposals tbh, and that just shows how unlikely they are... Aside from how literally outlandish they are, it's literally always been a series that has been video games... they're flat out not gonna reinvent smash, as Sakurai has literally said that he's not gonna reinvent the mechanics of smash, which is why most of smash 4's base had a bunch of bells and whistles to make them more unique. That really only leaves the movie idea, which, as said, if they saw any value in doing, would have been done by now... The crossover aspect all for a movie when it's a primarily video game based company is likely one of the reasons as to why they haven't, and likely won't... Just let smash be smash TBH. If you don't like people liking smash for just the crossover spectacle, then ideas like these don't actually stick... All this is just unfounded, which is reason enough as to why it isn't happening TBH.
and fan outcry brought several of them back as DLC and seemingly led to Everyone Is Here), I can't imagine that there's going to be huge sweeping cuts like some people expect. (I've seen people act like the next Smash "needs" to cut half, 2/3, or even 3/4 of Ultimate's roster, which seems like the sort of thing that would kill any franchise)Technically, this game is outdated thanks to Tekken 7, but I get your point...
The only characters who didn't return were a licensed manga character (Gon the farting dinosaur) and different versions of characters who were in the game (Kuma 1, King 1, Armor King 1, Roger, Tetsujin, various Jack models), which would seemingly be the equivalent of a costume change. (I'm not super familiar with Tekken - I know they're different people/kangaroos/bears/robots/training dummies, but I'm not sure how much the movesets differ between King 1 and King 2, or Roger and Roger Junior, for example)
Besides, I believe Nabbitfan wants Smash's fanbase to shrink after Ultimate. So, if a plain old Smash sequel will do that...shouldn't that be okay?
That's one explanation... I have no idea, but they definitely have some reason to be convincing themselves these ideas are apparently realistic, yet just another run of the mill game isn't cos of some way OOC Sakurai quote and find any reason to shoehorn a mention of it in to remind everyone... I have no clue why they'd want the fanbase to shrink, but everything brought from this discussion is frankly ridiculous either way... Why don't we turn Mario Kart into Pong while we're at it?
