    The thing with fan rules is that it’s a case of “guilty until proven innocent” or “innocent until proven guilty.” As in, do you believe that things like assists should be treated as deconfirmations until something disproves that? Or, perhaps, do you believe that everything is still on the table...

    Fates was my first Fire Emblem game, and it was probably the worst introduction I could have ever gotten. I was really hesitant to buy Three Houses after that, but I decided to give it a shot. Boy, am I glad I did. It’s seriously like night and day, almost like I’m playing something from an...

    This. Despite me thinking Spring Man is the most likely pick, I’m honestly happy to see that other characters are getting their support too. If there is one thing I really like about ARMS, it’s the characters themselves.

    That’s just the thing, though. In my opinion, if they wanted to go for the angle of surprise I think they would’ve just waited to reveal the character. I think by doing this, their main goal here is to just get people talking about ARMS again instead of going for some huge surprise. Something...

    You’re right, but I think people would’ve made the assumption either way honestly.

    They’re comparable for the fact that both are cases where the most obvious conclusions might be the correct ones. I wasn’t a subscriber to the box theory either, but I can’t deny that at the end of the day Nintendo didn’t mind being predictable in that sense.

    I’m glad somebody finally said it. I really don’t understand why everyone acts as if Nintendo is some sort of “master of deception” and we can’t take anything they say at face value when that is nowhere near the case. Saying that Nintendo wouldn’t do this just to make it Spring Man isn’t a...

    Man, Rex’s voice actor just can’t yell on cue. He just can’t. The only Xenoblade 2 rep I would genuinely be over the moon to see would be Zeke the Zekenator, but I think it’s safe to say it’d be more likely for the fighters pass to be cancelled before that happens. Don’t lie to yourself, now...

    Rex might have a good shot, but the thing that makes me hesitate is that Nintendo might be pushing ARMS specifically again for a reason that doesn’t apply to Xenoblade 2. Dunno, too early to say. I’d way prefer Elma, to be honest.

    Literally the first sentence when you check ARMS in the eshop says “The first fighting game of its kind” It’s a fighting game, its just not traditional and might not be for everybody.

    That’s true, and I knew that was the reason Edelgard was being pushed. However, that doesn’t change the fact that the main concept of the game is still picking sides between these three different characters. One of them might have a bit more story prevalence than the others, but they’re still...

    I think you’re misinterpreting what I mean here. Might be partly my bad, english is not my first language so I struggle with exact wording. I’m not taking strictly about fighting games here, but all games. I’ll try an example instead. I think it’s like what happened with Three Houses and Byleth...

    The thing with the ARMS fighter is that, if it were Sakurai who decided, I’d say it’s up in the air. However, since it’s Nintendo...it only makes sense that it’s Spring Man. If they really want to breathe new life into ARMS, that’s the best move considering he’s the one almost everyone will...

    He may not be the hero we expected. Heck, he may not even be the hero we wanted. But goddammit he’s the hero we needed.

    Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

    You’re generalizing an entire fan base when in reality it was a very vocal minority, like it usually is when things like these happen. The bad things on the internet will always be the most noticeable even if there’s not a lot of it, making the stuff that isn’t that bad seem less so. I’m quite...
