  • Miraculous doesn't begin to describe FF7 getting a reasonable amount of content. SE would usually never allow this much FF7 content but Sakurai got all of the copyright holders to be OK with it.
    If Geno doesn't get in into Vol. 2, then oh well there's always the next Smash game and we can't have every bandwagon character be newcomers in the same Smash game.

    Bandwagon is when someone jumps on a popular opinion just because its popular. Most people who support Geno do so because they played and loved SMRPG, that's not bandwagoning.
    Would Steve fit in better if he had the same color scheme as all the other characters?

    ....What the hell is this supposed to mean? Last time you talked about Steve, you said he fit better than the FE cast.

    He does but other people say he still looks out of place.
    FF7 is a childhood classic for many even though FF7 wasn't made for children. The kids were probably drawn to it by its cartoony visuals though.

    By then, they were amazing, eye-popping visuals that took our breath away. It was the greatest thing any of us had ever seen. I remember thinking nothing about how cartoony they were because, back then, they weren’t. They looked very realistic and believable.
    The Vol. 2 characters are releasing at a much faster rate than people thought, perhaps the 11th character will release before June.
    Why couldn't Nintendo get ahold of Sephiroth's English voice actor?
    Omnislash ver. 5. Is there a future update coming that gives Cloud a 2nd Final Smash to use when his Limit Gauge is full and he has a Smash Ball?

    i'm 100% sure it's just an alternate version of omnislash that's exclusive to his advent children alts

    i've seen people going around saying that it's gonna be exclusive to when cloud fights sephiroth but i don't really believe that
    If FP8 does get announced at TGA, the trailer will probably have gameplay footage. Joker's trailer didn't have any because he was so early in development. There's no excuse for a non gameplay trailer this time.
    Cloud and Joker had very weak connections to Nintendo prior to debuting in the Smash series but they were still OK to include because one, FF7 was originally meant for the N64 and two, though FF7 wasn't on a Nintendo console, Cloud was still in other games on Nintendo platforms and plenty of Nintendo customers like Final Fantasy so Cloud was eligible. And for Joker, Persona Q2 was released about a week before his Smash announcement and there are Nintendo customers that like Persona so Joker was allowed too.

    Fighters Pass are meant to sell, but they’re not necessarily meant to sell Nintendo. No one’s gonna say “Oh man! I love Cloud in Smash, now I’m gonna go buy Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories for the GameBoy Advance!” Theyre gonna go to PLAYSTATION if they’re really interested in it. It’s the same thing with Joker

    A 3rd party character can have a strong connection to Nintendo and still be a strong selling point and appeal to PlayStation and XBOX customers. Look at Steve, his series has a ton of games on Nintendo platforms, the Switch version of Minecraft sold more than one million copies in Japan, Minecraft has Nintendo's respect and Steve is much more recognizable than Cloud and Joker combined.

    Mario Tennis Ultra Smash exists to be a shovelware game and yet it fails as a shovelware game. It only sold 0.54 million copies while other shovelware games sell way better than that.
    This pandemic might get to be written in future school history books and future children and teens will have to write essays and take tests that are about the 2020 pandemic.
    I feel very bad for the 2020 high school grads who've been dreaming of having a huge graduation ceremony like every else. This would have been such a great year if the virus never came into existence.

    But yeah, agreed. Missing out on my graduation was not very poggers. Hopefully it won't be the same thing come senior year.
    FE: Radiant Dawn is a great game but Ike is established 16 chapters into the 38 chapter story and he's one of the main characters. I hear that a good writing tip is to establish all of your main characters near the start of the story. Also Ike gets no screentime until 16 chapters in.

    But only half of Part 3 is mainly about him and only one third of Part 4 is mainly about him.
    Would you buy a $20 Subspace Emisarry remake if it was a DLC expansion for Ultimate? Every level and cutscene would be remade with Ultimate's color scheme and you could even use the characters who weren't in Brawl but that would be a completion bonus for after you complete the main story.
    In The Big Bang Theory, Leanord is the protagonist and Sheldon is the deuteragonist/comic relief.

    I used to think Leonard was underrated but Sheldon is honestly a whole monster of it's own. It'd still be erronous to say Sheldon alone carries the show, with good characters like Raj and Wallowitz.

    It's like that in a lot of sitcoms, honestly.

    Leonard is the most "normal" character out of the 4, but it's also funny how much he can tolerate Sheldon.
    Is Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash shovelware?

    They put zero effort into it, it was clearly made just so they could have a Mario Tennis game. It’s like Sonic Forces, there’s no effort to begin with and it just ends up being bad because of it.
    I don’t know if it’s shovelware, but it’s certainly on the same quality level as those games.

    Take Waluigi for instance, some say he's just a meme pick. If people didn't actually want him, they wouldn't be asking for him.

    You know not everyone here wants Waluigi right? Those who say they don't want him don't want him, and those who do do ask for him.
    I hope Xenoblade gets the FE treatment, getting a new rep in each Smash game, this way FE won't be singled out anymore for having "too many reps." Now obviously it's way too early for Xenoblade to get 8 reps since it only has 4 installments but the more installments it gets, the more reps it will have by the time the 10th Smash game releases. Also the reason FE has 8 reps is because it has a rotating cast of characters in each game, just like Xenoblade does.
    Remember that Iwata wouldn't have wanted us to pay to play online. If he was still around, he would have hated that his company is ignoring his wishes.
    Many stores I go to don't have Xenoblade 2 on their shelves anymore. Now there's two possible reasons why Xenoblade 2 isn't on store shelves anymore. One, having it on the shelf along with Xenoblade 1 DE would be redundant and two, having it on the shelf with Xenoblade 1 DE could interfere with Xenoblade 1 DE's sales.
    Did the Smash developers really make Min Min and Steve while they were at home in quarantine? If so it's interesting how Min Min and Steve were homemade.
    Steve visually fits in better than the Fire Emblem characters do.

    Most of the characters in Smash are cartoony looking while anime humanoid characters only make up about 1/3 of the roster.

    Well, technically 99% of the Smash roster is kind of animaish whether they're cartoony or anime humanoid because excluding Banjo & Kazooie, Steve, Diddy Kong, King K. Rool, and Dark Samus the rest of the roster was originally made by Japanese developers thus most of the roster's origin being Japanese. Anime looking characters should be considered normal because Smash, Nintendo, and most parties associated are Japanese afterall.
    Do people think ARMS is so devoid of substance that the game isn't worth talking about? A lot people say ARMS is bad but they never explain why it's bad. A lot of people think Xenoblade 2 is bad too but at least they care about it enough to explain why they think it's bad.

    There's two sides to the whole "ARMS is bad" topic.

    One is "Ha ha, ARMS bad, dead game, funny meme! Waifus!!!"

    The other side actually takes the time to properly explain why they dislike it, and it's simply that some people just found the game boring. Admittedly, outside of the core gameplay, there isn't anything to do: No story mode, no side modes, and most of the different stages don't change up the core mechanics enough to be a substantially different experience.

    ARMS is far from a dead game or a "failure" that some love to push, though. It wasn't a Splatoon, but asking for another Splatoon was asking for lightning in a bottle. It isn't a realistic expectation, especially for a fighting game IP. For what it is, 2+ million (rough guess given this was the last number I could find on it's numbers, exact data is hard to find) is amazing, and it outsold other IPs like Metroid or Pikmin. Not throwing shade on those games, by the way: They're awesome games! But I feel like people throw ARMs under the bus a ton, and I personally feel it's really not super warranted.

    ARMs isn't a bad game. Maybe a little boring, but not bad at all. "ARMs flopped" is the same tired argument ARMs fans had to hear for over three months, because the Smash fanbase couldn't stop seething over an ARMS rep (and god forbid, a spirit promotion!) because it apparently "flopped". And god forbid if you wanted an ARMS rep like Spring Man.

    Funny, because an ARMS rep still got into Smash regardless. So, they can keep seething.

    MooMew is completely right.

    Edit: It's a bit devoid of content, but far from a failure. It did pretty well, all things considered. Wasn't the next Splatoon, but for a new fighting game IP, it didn't do so bad. It was by no means a "flop." Anyone who tells you that probably unironically thought spirits deconfirmed, and WANTED them to be deconfirmed to take a crap on fanbases who did nothing wrong.

    Don't listen to those bandwagoners, they're up their own ass.
    Why don't other Nintendo IPs have fanbases that are like Smash's fanbase?

    Not to mention sites like Marilland, PokeCommunity forums, NuggetBridge and even Smogon forums to this day continues to be a relevant Pokemon forum site.

    Pokemon has SO many unofficial dedicated database and forum sites, it's ridiculous.

    Yeah, forgot to list Smogon. That's a really prominent community, pretty much everything competitive Pokemon-related stems from there. Sub-sections of fanbases aren't just limited to Smash.

    RetrogamerMax
    Well for one thing, the main reason like 90% of Smash fans are into the speculation scene is because of everyones' investment in the roster. There is no game in the world where the fans of said game is as invested into it's roster as much as Smash's. It's the biggest fighting crossover game if you don't count Mugen and everyone and their mommy wants all their favorite characters in the game. The investment and time towards what newcomers get in or not is what makes fans in the Smash community so different from any other fanbase.
    The 1918 pandemic came to an end, so why wouldn't the 2020 pandemic come to an end?

    1918 is a hilariously different world compared to the modern age.

    RetrogamerMax
    Shroob Shroob is right. Plus every nation now is pretty modernized and connected with each other compared to 1918 when technology and the airlines wasn't as globally connected and efficient as it is today. Diseases can spread pretty quickly and around the world now.
    Spongeboob
    Spongeboob
    Eventually, it's going to end one way or another. Anyways, I don't think that's an apt comparison because, like Shroob Shroob and R RetrogamerMax pointed out, 1918 was a vastly different time from now. Sure, we're probably more likely to survive something like this than we were in 1918, but it's a different virus with different attributes from what was experienced with the Spanish flu.
    Chris Seavor (the voice of Conker) says he would come back to voice Conker if Conker was to join Smash. Conker confirmed?
    If Steve becomes a base game character in Smash 6, then Smash 6 could outsell Ultimate given how popular Minecraft is. Putting Minecraft content in a game boosts the game's sales greatly.
    Banjo-Tooie is good but it has a few disturbing parts in it. For instance, when Banjo and Kazooie tell Jamjars that Bottles died, he doesn't act upset or remorseful about it. He just says "Typical."

    I mean...Jamjars is supposed to be the stereotypical "tough soldier", who has squashed all emotions entirely out of him.

    Also Banjo and Kazooie kill George and Mildred the innocent talking ice cubes. What's worse is that you HAVE to kill them to make progress in the game.

    Rare should become an independent company like SEGA, Capcom and Namco. This way they would be able to make Banjo, Conker, Battletoads, Killer Instinct and Sea of Theives games for every home console.

    I would love that to happen, but that's never going to happen since they're owned by one of the biggest corporations on the whole damn planet. That's literally a pipedream that will never come true.
    Xenoblade 2 sold more than 2 million copies but most of its sales were made before Shulk was added to Xenoblade 2. This means Xenoblade doesn't need support from Smash in order to stand on it's own two feet. It can sell on its own merits. Not that we don't need Rex though, he must be in Vol. 2.

    How are those two things correlated in any way?

    Because putting a character from Smash into another game helps that game sell better but Xenoblade 2 didn't need a Smash character in it to help it become successful.
