That's not how it works. Just because there's not going to be any more balance patches for Ultimate doesn't mean Sakurai thinks the balance is perfect.
You do know which company we're talking about here? The same one who made competitive players use items?
Sakurai or someone still needs to balance characters to make game Good.
You mean the same one that forced players to play the way the game was meant to be played?
Uh, yeah, sure.
Either way it proves Nintendo doesn't care about esports all that much.
I don't know what you mean by your first statement because my thoughts were pertaining to having substantially more newcomers in a hypothetical Ultimate DX not balance.
Part of the reason why base Ultimate didn't have that many unique newcomers was because fighting game development involves spending a lot of time on balance. And that lot of time becomes A LOOOOOT of time when you have to deal with over 60 veterans. Furthermore, you're kind of displaying why I think people are starting to view Smash as less a game and more of a way to make Nintendo money.
Meant to be played originally, big difference. If we weren’t supposed to play without items we wouldn’t be able to play without items.
Why would a lesser game be great for a franchise?
I can't speak for Melee but in general, the platforming is really REALLY bad and just awful so maybe cutting it out was out was for the best. Also N64 and Wii U content was ****poor compared to Ultimate so that don't get want you mean.
Except the fact that Geno is a third party character meaning he would unfortunately get the axe too. You really thought you had something there. Anyways it's would be big shame personally for him but if means a return to form for a better Smash future then it's a sacrifice one willing to make.
True. Everyone is Here not coming back is a shame but at the end of the day.
I can tell you right now that my dislike of EiH has nothing to do with wanting Isaac or anybody else. I didn't like EiH when it was announced, and what has transpired the last few years has done nothing but further convince me that I don't like it. If Isaac or Waluigi or whoever was in then we'd probably still be having the exact same discussion, because I disliked EiH even when I still thought Isaac was probably going to make it into base game.
Yes, it has Nice ring! And 3rd Parties will appear as DLC Characters (Despite the Game only will have 1st and 2nd Partiers, but due to Fan demand, they came back).
I agree with that!
I'd doubt a game like that would follow the Smash example and add retro characters honestly. Pokken had less playable characters than Melee did, if I recall.
You're a strange one, Tankman but I get you. Lol finally it's taken me a bit to warm up to your neon colored approach but every crowd needs a hyperactive member or two or 50.
I must admit I had the opposite reaction to Snake because of how big a fan I was of MGS. But having no real attachment to Melee and only superficial knowledge of the series as a whole meant I didn't "miss" anyone. In hindsight I think some Mewtwo fans were disappointed with Lucario. And that swap was also a pretty good tell Nintendo chooses who's in Smash, not the developers or even Mr. Sakurai, ultimately. For better or worse Smash did become another typical Nintendo game buut the formula works love it or hate it and it's gotten me interested in some other Franchises Fire Emblem being the obvious one... I mean I think FEH proves that Marth and company in Smash sold the world on FE. Whereas say with Pokemon the demand is flipped but the strategy as sound. You just can't please everyone lol.
They're different genres but they're both still video games at the end of the day. If Ultimate were to have continuous development, as segments of the community have proposed, akin to WOW then the difference in genre would be a moot point. It's not an unfair comparison that I'm making.
Not really given everything he's said publicly.The project is over and he's officially retired from it. What happens next can only be blamed on him by virtue alone his next decision involving the franchise.
I agree on many points you've made.
And with what character we start the DLC????
Dude, this is a Speculation Thread, not HWYR game!!
fixed for you.
No, Smash Ultimate has already too much DLC Newcomers!
Obviously Sonic!
Personally, i prefer the Third-Party DLC 2 B started with Banjo and Kazooie; or if we are mentally madcap, we can have brand new companies instead of the old ones.
But the reason why people want Ultimate DX is solely its roster size. If they don't get that right away, what's the point? Might as well make a traditional Smash sequel.
And Thads want Super Smash Bros. Dimensions!
How about Super Smash Bros Champions?
Good name, but I better want "Dimensions", because Smash bros. takes place between Gaming Dimensions.
Dimensions sounds like if it was for the 3DS version, and Champions is very boring.
Good title, generic but it has the "Gaming Legends" spark
Nah bro, Dimensions fits for Smash 6, because Smash Multiverse is divided by 6 Gaming Legends: Mario, Sonic, Pacman, Megaman, Banjo-Kazooie and Cloud.
Nope, Dimensions makes more sense
People also want Ultimate DX for fear of cuts, but ya roster size is also part of it. And yeah at a certain point you're better off with making a new game. I still feel like they should make the base game as complete as possible, and save DLC for completely new stuff or stuff they truly planned for base but got constrained due to time/resources. Intentionally holding off vets for DLC at the start seems like it would cause a lot of problems. At a certain point it just makes it seem like they're blocking off the full game behind a paywall; DLC should really feel like optional add-on stuff rather than things that seem like they should've made it into base. You don't half-make a game just because you can fix it later with paid content.
That's the full roster of Smash Dimensions, just those 6.
To me, if you have to cut a good chunk of veterans so resources can be devoted to adding new stuff, you only used the name "Ultimate DX" to cash in on Ultimate's success rather than because it's an enhanced port of Ultimate.
Ya I wasn't making a rebuttal there or anything, just kind of throwing in some thoughts.
It took Way too long for me to learn that you asked How Would You React.
