    It might be in some companies' self-interest to fight some modding, but why should consumers care so much about a few percent in a company's bottom line?

    What I meant was that if the move animations were better, the speed of the moves themselves would be okay.

    It sounds like speed itself isn't the problem. Plenty of Melee fans and top players at least tried Project M and Ultimate. I'm not sure where this idea that Melee fans don't want anything changed about the game. UCF changed the metagame. I'm hopeful for Melee 1.03. Why would Melee fans pay...

    I'm actually in favor of simple inputs. It's one of the few things on which I disagree with Sajam. While I maintain that casuals can and do enjoy games like Xrd (I'll return to this point below), I agree that input complexity does impede many casual players' enjoyment. However, NASB doesn't...

    No one's forcing casual players to lab combos. They can play however they want. Button mashers can and do have fun playing everything from Melee to Xrd. Furthermore, there are levels of skill past button mashing that I would still categorize as casual. Codecs and Palutena's Guidance are not...

    What would you count as people getting into it? Slap City was popular for quite a while. SKX31 brought up Rivals of Aether and Brawlhalla. Platform fighters are a niche subgenre of a niche genre. Smash entries' dips in popularity are masked by their relatively high initial player counts...

    They could pretty easily drum up interest by running tournaments with big pots.

    I hope not. It's easy. Just imagine Smash, but better.

    I expect Sakurai won't direct the next installment.

    Who's that? I was expressing my preference for the game.

    Who is the general Nintendo audience? Do you mean people who haven't played Kirby games much? If so, that's not much of a point against BWD. "People who are unfamiliar with this franchise would be equally excited for anyone from it" isn't very compelling.

    It would be interesting to have one use a shotgun that is powerful and has a big hitbox up close but weak farther away. I don't really want super realistic firearms in Smash, though.

    I thought it would be clear from context that I was referring to the people who have been talking about potential moves for BWD in the past two or three pages.

    My favorite Impa design is that for AoC. The cel-shading makes it look worse, though. The HW design is good, but the large weapons don't really fit the Sheika theme of stealth.
