Yeah, that's the thing. Would I love to have all 89 characters back plus about a dozen others at launch, plus all items modes and stages from Ultimate, plus new ones, plus more third-party content, plus good online, plus new mechanics and at least two seasons of DLC? Yes. I would. I absolutely...

Probably some sort of exclusivity contract, no? I'm not too familiar with the situation of these companies, but I'd assume it's either that or something related to less familiarity with Nintendo platforms. Otherwise, yeah, it's probably a matter of time. Some of them have also been selling well...

That's similar to how Brawl did a few Event Matches. Instead of dividing characters by time of release, the events were ordered by appearance in Smash (64 base roster, 64 unlockables, Melee base roster, Melee unlockables, Brawl base roster, Brawl unlockables).

That's the thing - given what was done, maybe it just wasn't possible in the end. That said, I'm intrigued by your idea. What happens after you choose a rival? Is it basically a Multi-Man vs a CPU?

You missed the point entirely. It isn't about the quality of modes at all. It's about there being less modes in general.

Depends. The only reason we even got these few HD facelifts and new ATs is because the bulk of stages, items and ATs came from elsewhere. I was specifically talking about new content added for Ultimate. For Pokéballs: Sm4sh added 23 new Pokémon. Ultimate added 14 - 9 less than its predecessor...

Honestly, I don't like the idea of my favorites being cut either, but it's really disheartening to see people being so averse to it they'd rather see the series not evolve. Cuts are a thing in every single fighting game. We don't have to like them, but we'll live. If Banjo or Sora get the axe...

Not really, but I do wish we get some mechanic changes. I've talked about dividing attacks into Light and Heavy buttons like NASB did, but there's other stuff too. Maybe more movement options and less landing lag. Dunno, there's plenty of directions they could go mechanically. I like Ultimate...

Kirby Fighters is a nice example, actually. You know what would be fun? F-Zero 2D fighter. Make it fast-paced and give it airdashes like most "anime fighters".

If it had different mechanics, it could be a fun experience. Besides, it's not like a spinoff like that would take the place of Smash or anything. More fighting game spinoffs made from established franchises can't really be a bad thing imo.

Sigh. Guess this kind of debate is always gonna be a bunch of people strawmanning each other to death, huh. But yeah, I wish the support threads weren't locked. Also, has the Famitsu translation dropped yet? Curious to hear more about it, especially the remarks on Banjo and Sakurai planning...

To be fair, if he could go for both, that would be a good thing. But I get what you mean, not every character is gonna be a huge gamebreaker. Well, I didn't intend to dunk on any characters, and I'm not one to get tired of any popular picks just for being popular. I'm just saying that over...

Yes. And this is coming from someone whose MW list is like 90% third parties. People like to say that Smash fans just stare at the CSS. I don't think this started with the influx of third parties, but it was certainly intensified. The other day I was watching Maximillian Dood's trailer...
