Yeah, while I dont necessarily I agree with every choice on the roster. I think its important to give them the chance to show their stuff. Depending on their success here, this might be the only chance we have for a TV Network fighting game to be above the shovelware we are so used to expect. I expect them to keep this trend of mixing iconic characters with some surprises here and there to give some flavour to the whole thing. if we only have main characters, we lose a lot of possibilities.
Honestly, that was my exact reaction to all that, too.
A lot of this is too technical for me.
We all make mistakes in the heat of passion, Jimbo.
I unironcially would like Hugh, but even then one must admit he is really low priority.
In that case, you should probably do what he's been doing:
Yet again, I feel like I'm the only one here who acknowledges the benefit of the doubt.
What's this about benefit of the doubt? I'm a little lost here.
I was just replying to the other poster, is all.
I doubt they'll post on a Sunday. Hopefully we have a new moveset tomorrow.
Isn't tomorrow Labor Day? I'm not sure if that covers Twitter duties.
Oh, totally. I really don't want this to become Smash Speculation 2: Electric Boogaloo. Stuff like this is part of the reason I fell out of it back in like February or something.
That's annoying.
Honestly I'm just happy that the characters like Nigel and Powdered Toast Man are being received with a lot more love than I remember the likes of Piranha Plant receiving in Smash.
Even Plant got fans springing up upon release. It's not really comparable though, seeing as the former are secondary characters.
it would be funny if its attacks turn into the background fish.Even Plant got fans springing up upon release. It's not really comparable though, seeing as the former are secondary characters.
Now if an anchovy got in, it'd be a different story.
Tomorrow is labor day at USA and Canada (maybe others countries too) but not in Sweden. I could affect the twitter since GameMill is USA, but Ludosity isn't so maybe not. But if we don't I'm sure we'll get something on Tuesday.
I assume the posts are automated - or at least capable of being automated.
Honestly, I think them being in the game reveal helped them out significantly. If one of the remaining characters is an out-there choice like them, then I think we'll see a lot more controversy and backlash. Putting their oddest foot forward was a good plan, right Nigel?
I think there is a huge difference between Plant in Ultimate compared to Nigel and Toast Man in this game. For one, Plant came at a time where people were still reeling from being duped by the Grinch leak and the painful deconfirmations from wither the spirits and/or the Assist segment (Particularly in the case of Shadow and Isaac which both had periods of time where fans believed they were inevitable). And the Plant was basically given what was Mewtwo's distinction in Smash 4 of being the first bonus DLC fighter of the game. Not to mention it being a Mario character that got in before the much more acceptable Toad or more popular Waliuigi.
Let's see, if we assume that newly revealed fighters from here on out will get their movesets revealed relatively soon after said reveal (if not the same day), then not counting SpongeBob and Patrick, there's 14 revealed characters that don't have moveset charts, so under that model, they would fall just short of revealing every moveset before the game releases, because Day 14 would fall on the 6th of October.
Technically, they fit more as fighting clowns than pure joke characters, otherwise the game wouldn't be too fun.
Not to mention whether or not said movesets drop around the time of new character reveals.
NASB fans when Cartoony Toony the early 90's animation phenomenon gets over Pseudo Anime Action Hero from the cult classic show of the mid 2000's.
Shucks, yes... Remind me to stop trying to do math; I accidentally counted every week as having 3 reveals when last week only had two. Uh. Maybe they can drop Powdered Toast Man with Ren and Stimpy as a bonus?
Oh no... Nobody tell Ed that it is all joke characters...
Popular McCartoonDad vs. Serious Fightman
Even then Michelangelo can throw pizzas, so they're not immune to joke moves.
Can we not do this? I know you guys meant it as a joke but the less imitated from the Smash fan wars the better. We don't need ironic terms that people can start using unironically.
Not to mention that April already uses studio equipment as deadly weapons.
Honestly, I love the term "Scrimblo Bimblo" - it sounds funny and gives a good way to refer to a type of character that it's previously been nigh imposible to quickly make reference to - "cartoon style characters", "cereal box mascots", and "mascot platformers" just don't roll off the tongue and seamlessly fit into a sentence like "Scrimblo Bimblo" and to be frank it's a term I hope the rest of the gaming community adopts outside of Smash, regardless of its malicious origins.
Agreed. It's gotten to the point where wanting literally any kind of character in any kind of style in Smash gets you **** on. It's one of the biggest reasons Smash speculation isn't fun anymore. Everyone is so intent on disparaging each other's preferred character choices and it comes off incredibly hypocritical.
Even as someone who thinks people aren't considering how long the next Smash will be when they say "there's always next game!", I believe Sakurai's statement about the next Smash being 10 years away refers to 2018. So I won't be 37 when Smash 6 comes out.
It's still going to be much longer than the measly gap between 4 and Ultimate, at any rate. Besides, the fans wanted Sak to take a rest anyway, so.
According to his talks with Harada, he's not going to. "the fans" are Westerners projecting Western values onto a Japanese man anyway. And yes, I know this doesn't mean he'll immediately work on Smash 6 after CP11, but please don't treat Japan like it's just the West with funny letters.
I know of that, but I got tired of trying to tell people otherwise. Watch them act surprised when he unveils a new shooty robot game, his take on an old Nintendo IP, or whichever else he might have in store. Besides, he needs some direction in his life with Iwata-san gone.
Since she uses kara-tay, the moveset seems self-explanatory enough that they probably don't need to prioritize showing it that much.
