    Unpopular Smash Ultimate Opinions! - Read the OP before Posting

    In my 200 hours with the game, I never noticed any of that in the cutscenes. And you're one of the first people I've seen complain about the game taking 1's asspull twist that raised more questions than answers and actually doing it decently and integrating it into the game's themes. ...Really...

    And your personal feelings somehow nullify its popularity and success? I was impressed by much of the cutscene choreography, I didn't have much issue with the VO (people forget 1's wasn't perfect, albeit I'd say it was slightly better), liked the plot overall and give it an edge over the first...

    The biggest attraction Smash holds for most is the characters. DLC is adding more characters. Hence, people are hyperfocused on it.

    2 is the best selling game in the series, currently sitting at 1.7 million units. What sales estimates are out there for X puts it at half as much, on top of it being the most different game in the series for better and for worse. Plus, if development timing had been as different as just a...

    Based on a couple polls I've seen, I guess I'll say this: Four/Solo is my favorite alt for the Heroes. Just based on artwork and stuff, feels like he has the most personality: https://dragon-quest.org/images/8/8c/DQIV_Hero_Male.png (the green color scheme and having the most dynamic Smash...

    Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

    While she's not the most popular, she is/was the de-facto main character (and I was really only firing her out in regards to the tweet that very well may mean nothing). Divorced from that, I'd say Nightmare. But in terms of "female fighting game characters"...

    Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

    Perhaps a belated take on the whole "female fighting game character" topic (even though it could very well be nothing)... why are people largely ignoring Sophitia? SoulCalibur itself has made a resurgence (while being one of few fighting game series to achieve some casual and mainstream...

    Heck, for a community that loves to talk up gaming and Nintendo history it's awfully ironic that rep(s) from the progenitor of the JRPG genre got mocked and thrown under the bus while a character known for 2 games 20 years ago and then a radical departure 10 years later is treated as the second...

    That was an uncalled for comment. Sorry I'm not super familiar with a specific mechanic from a game that's older than me. Reminds me of the initial SMTV reveal way back in the Nintendo Switch event and how a bunch of reactors recognized the demons... and then jumped to thinking it was Persona...

    A feather gauge was spotted in their trailer when using certain specials. Seems like you spoke too soon.

    The hero of Dragon Quest III, Erdrick, joins the battle!

    Probably because it's not nearly as big as FF; hence, it's cheaper to get more. And because of that, SE probably wanted a ton put in to promote the series in the West.

    That's gamexplain's upload of the Banjo trailer.

    Is it objectively terrible, or is it realistic and indicative of basic logic?

    Have a link? Most of the reactions I've seen are either unenthused silence or plain mockery.

    I wasn't trying to come off as petty. I said: "I think it's very telling that the DQ trailer got a completely new environment and 4 high quality character models in the pre-rendered section... while the only new assets in the Banjo trailer were Banjo and Kazooie themselves." Nintendo put a lot...
