Nope, I noticed too.
Didn't Sakurai say that no currently represented franchises will be in the Fighter Pass? I could be mixing something up but... I think...?
I don't necessarily remember him saying that, and there was a line from Reggie at the VGAs that people misinterpreted, but even then, I feel like ze9 is jumping the gun a bit by assuming a Fire Emblem character is in the Pass.
I think this was Reggie that said this at the game awards. "These are going to be characters that are new to the series, just like Joker from Persona 5. Characters that you would not anticipate to be in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate." I don't think that means 100% of the Fighter's Pass is necessarily from new series, it's just played out that way so far.
That's just a grossly misinterpreted version of Reggie's quote from the Game Awards.
This seems like it word to word from my memory. This is just Reggie reiterating that this DLC cycle will include all new characters, likely to inform people who weren't keeping up with Smash at the time. We can't forget that not everyone who plays video games stalks Smashboards everyday. All that being said, though, I wouldn't be surprised if all of the Fighter Pass characters were from previously unrepresented franchises.
Those look amazing!
Wouldn't be surprised if a first-party from a currently-represented franchise sneaks up in there and shatters people's expectations, yet again. People tend to think there's a rigid pattern to things.
I pointed it out a little while ago, but it's great to see that I'm not the only one who noticed! ^_^
I actually like the Hero(es) a lot.
I'm on the same boat, actually. After Banjo (and Ridley and K. Rool in the base game), I'm fine with every character. I want to see what Sakurai has in store now, and I'm pretty sure I'll buy everyone.Eh, I got what I wanted the most. I think for the first time in a long while, I can actually let myself be surprised.
I'm fine with even that if we can get a student that uses something different from the damned weapon triangle for once. It'd be difficult to do anything unique with their teacher.
Even the students don't feel very inspiring to me.
Same with this Ultimate i already bought the fighters pass because i need all characters regardless. Banjo kazooie is such a treat for me im meh about Joker and Hero (ugh more sword fighters) im hoping the last two are more to my taste. My absolute want is Geno. After there is no one in high demand for me.
I was always more of a Mumbo person myself.
Man, looking back on the total despair this thread was in only a few days back makes the present that much more satisfying
And we're pretty sure Gruntilda is going to be a boss for Banjo's Classic Mode. In the trailer, while B-K are fighting Falco and Pirahna Plant on Spiral Mountain, it's very obvious that there is no bridge. But then, in the shot showing off Grunty's Lair, not only is Banjo suspiciously alone, but the bridge is back. And then there's the shot of Grunty swooping over the bridge, so...
I mean obviously. It would just be for fun.
Seems like a good idea, at least concerning Smash 6. Only issue is that she'll have to share attention with loads of bad gals like Captain Syrup and Medusa. Who obviously will take priority, now that it's clear that not having been in a game for a while isn't an obstacle anymore.
I thought this was actually going to be like when Nintendo shadow dropped a battle between Snake and K. Rool shortly after he was revealed. Why must you play with my heart like this?
We really need, well we don't NEED another Fire Emblem, but if we ended up with another one we need a character that plays to what we haven't seen in Smash. I recall Smash 4 supporters of Chrom suggesting he could take notes from his second seal class promotions and have him play as a horse mounted knight or General (something I ended up doing in my first playthrough of Awakening.). Granted, Robin already scratched that itch a little bit by being a spellsword and introducing spells to his moveset, but might as well keep the ball rolling. if people really don't want another sword slinger with no other tricks (and lets be fair; I too do not want that.), give us an archer that focuses on long range but smash attacks by stabbing people with an arrow or whacks them with their bow, or maybe an archer or horse back, or give us a ninja who slings shuriken and kunai, or a beast race a la the Manakete (Serious how did Tiki never become playable in Smash. She's in the same game as Marth. She's also an OG!) Laguz, Taguel, or Kitsune/Wolfskin, Or a pegasus rider, etc. Just give us something new and I'm sure people would be a lot more receptive to a new Fire Emblem edition to the cast, and goodness knows Fire Emblem has a lot of new it could still give if Nintendo were so inclined.
Even Edelgard would be enough, she has an axe, for crying out loud. Last thing we need is Ninty suggesting Teacher to bolster up the army of Marth clones, Chrom was already stretching it thin at this point. At least give him a
-style gimmick if they absolutely insist on him being in.
It's funny you mention that. I was entertaining whether a FE protag could have aEven Edelgard would be enough, she has an axe, for crying out loud. Last thing we need is Ninty suggesting Teacher to bolster up the army of Marth clones, Chrom was already stretching it thin at this point. At least give him a
style mechanic that involves class changing, allowing them to have swords, magic, horses, and generally just encompass the Fire Emblem experience, though I worry that falls apart since a lot of FE classes are just variations and combinations of melee fighter (sword, axe, spear), mounted unit (horse, Pegasus, Wyvern), or a magic user. Most other class types save for archer can't normally be multi classed into since they're kind of their own beings (such as the beast races), and thus would be better suited to be their own characters. I fear a Byleth would just rehash Marth and his brood with a bit of Robin sprinkled in, and almost nobody would want that.
Assuming we're talking about the same rumors, I'll admit I have no nostalgia or stake in seeing the Doom Marine in Smash, that said he might be worth a buy just because I find a lot of humor in the idea of Smash upping the bar of iffy characters once again. Doom Marine literally just loves anger, fighting, and ripping demons apart. There's a twisted joy in imagining the guy intent of leaving his opponent a pile of entrails being pit in a fight with the likes of Mario, Kirby, and Pichu (And Banjo.). I'd buy him for sure if he had a forward Smash that's a chainsaw. What I'm saying is I really want to see a game that allows me to chainsaw Mario.
Umm, what rumors are you talking about?
The rumors about a Female Fighter Game character (something like Kasumi, Mai Shiranui etc) or a new Capcom Character (Resident Evil, Phoenix Wright, granted i don't think there are super credible rumors about a new Capcom character floating around, but people are speculating). Neither of these 2 appeal to me at all, but i have Banjo so eh.
The negativity against Robin is mostly a bit of fatigue, but Robin usually isn't treated as coldly as Corrin.
