So it's just the natural escalation? That's good to hear, as I have heard quite a bit frustration about it over my year on Smashboards. I think Doom needs at least a certain amount of brutal violence. Helps get the adrenaline pumping, which is what you come for when you play Doom. And I don't think ot has any major effect on Doomguy in Smash, especially in a post Bayo and, to a lesser extent, Joker world.
The brutal violence feels so good because of subliminal things. These are demons, monsters of pure terror and malice, and yet YOU are the one that tears their goddamn arm off and beats them to death with it. You are the demon to the demons. This is IMO why he works in Smash, he's not fighting demons, so him not being as brutal to his enemies is to be expected.
Essentially; "and BFG, which stands for big ****ing gun, well that wouldn't fly." to paraphrase.
I just feel that people are paranoid about Doom Slayer getting in either due to an extreme but hidden dislike of the series or some form of "Too mature for me!" argument.
Question, what would Bio-Force Gun be a refrence to?
I don't know why people would keep their dislike of the series hidden. It is the internet after all, you can be as blunt with little problem.
The Doom movie, that's what it stood for in that, and it was the Rock's character who saw it and dubbed it the "Big ****ing Gun..."
I can imagine, but that does sound like a rather fun moment. I could see the gun actually being called that, as I doubt anyone would patent a gun with a name so crass.
People do this so they can come off as objective. If you try to act like you have no bias it makes your argument look stronger.
They way they talked about it back at Quakecon last year, I interpreted it as though it were a single demon.
They did hint that there is a reason it's so similar to the Doomguy, correct? If it is a single entity, then perhaps it's someone we know?
Yeah, that Quakecon thing is still rather eyebrow raising. The one thing that makes a reveal there unlikely is that Nintendo doesn't typically announce newcomers at events like that. That is unless they just so happen to coincidentally hold a direct durring the con.
I mean, unless they invited Sakurai to Quakecon to announce him or something, which is possible. I mean, last time a Nintendo-aligned developer was invited for a reveal at a 3rd party event, we got Star Fox in Starlink.
I feel like that would be way too obvious. There is no way that could be kept a secret and a official reveal of Sakurai being there would ring every warning bell. However, I imagine Nintendo will still have some presence. Maybe they could invite Bowser?
There is over a month difference between E3 and Quakecon. Sure, it would be earlier than expected, but it would not be right after the Hero and Banjo announcements.
I’m playing through Persona 5 right now & it deals with some very heavy/dark subjects. I didn’t expect all of this coming into the game, though I love it.
I’ve been thinking about this too. It’s weird that his name would pop up so much, even among Japanese “leakers”. Maybe there’s been some actual leaks of Doom Slayer alongside bait like Steve?
Yeah, maybe I shouldn't have said "to a lesser extent". When Persona 5 wants to go in hard, it goes in hard. Seriously, stand out moments from my perspective are the first target and what he is responsible for(Because my god) and what happens when you fail the 3rd dungeon(It may not have actually happened due to drugs, but it's still horrifying).
I'd agree but when the announcements for the base game were all over the place and lackluster at best, I feel consistency and good pacing isn't something they care about.
I wouldn't say that. The reveals and presentations were pretty good, with only the last one being of a lesser quality. Even then, I think the last announcements would have been taken better if we didn't have the background gained by the leakers and the divide caused by the Grinch.
Never said they were bad, just when you go from five reveals in one go to a single reveal isn't a very good balance.
True, but it's kinda interesting how Doomguy had no major trigger for his popularity in leaks. Skull Kid a notable leak that included him from what I can recall, and the bandwagon caused most fake leaks to include him. Doomguy never really had that from what I can recall.
That Hines statement is what set a lot of things off. Fake leaks are often predictive in intent, and that's a bigger lead than most other characters have, even if it turns out to be a red herring.
That is fair. I can think of only one way word of god can be possibly triumphed over, and that's actually having in game evidence in the files or some such.

brought up earlier, touches on the possibility of Doom Slayer coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
That article makes me really want a Samus costume for Doomguy now. Kinda forgot about the Link stuff in Skyrim.Greetings Doom disciples! Earlier today I saw this article which, somewhat similar to the info on the link
A few days ago I saw a video showcasing some new movement options Doom Slayer will have in Doom Eternal and I gotta say, that improves his chances in terms of moveset potential. I see quite a few details going for him such as "Color Theory" (yes... I know... orange... may seem reaching but still), being the first FPS genre representative in the game, Doom Eternal coming to the Switch, as well as some other things mentioned in the link.
A lot of the characters have dark backstories too. I just learned about Futaba’s backstory & it’s rough. :’(
