Same, but hey, I don't mind seeing how far it'll go and wreck people's pre-conceived notions. I've had some really nice wish inclusions getting in up to this point, so I'm pretty much committed to this train ride. I'll only be concerned about taking an extended hiatus from this board when this cycle ends. (Especially once I get a Switch and catch up on every game I've accumulated.)
Amen to that, brother. With how much of a bloodbath the speculation scene looked like leading up to Byleth's reveal, I'll be happy when it's finally over!
I know that he's a pie in the sky as far as chances go, but you're a spiritual brother.
It is really amusing to see people jump behind random leaks and put everything into it and then get surprised or shocked when it’s wrong. *cough* Byleth *cough*. To me, I like Smash as a game. Love the concept, mechanics, and gameplay. I think Sakurai and his team do a great job with what they do, and while I’d obviously be happy with personal favorite characters, Ultimate is an incredible game that quite honestly in my mind is borderline impossible to improve on unless they give it an unexpected overhaul. I’m loving the ride as a whole and can’t wait to see the final roster count and what they do with the stage selection screen, etc, as the amount of content is mind blowing to be frank.
Cuphead made some new best friends in Smash.

I think more about the 5Chan leak. Which people believed because it seemed "realistic".
More testing with Joker's new Arsene meter nerf. This time with my main Banjo and Neutral Egg and Breegull Blaster

Even WITH the nerf Blaster is still pathetic sadly. It's only use at the moment is combing into Up Tilt
Oh well, that's what these tests are for! pic.twitter.com/NR4eNqpBP8
I'm pretty sure we'll be getting a tease like Joker--given Sakurai's statement that they had just started development and it may take a while. Plus, they want the least amount of characters shown at first given the Fighter's Pass model--people are more likely to buy a pass if it's 5 unknowns that could be their characters, rather than 4 unknowns. I know there's probably some in the West who would have thought twice about getting the Fighter's Pass if one was Banjo & Kazooie and the other was Hero at the start--they'd be more 50/50 on it. Having one big one that captures everyone's attention globally is the best marketing decision. And it took a long time before we saw anything of Joker after his initial reveal, as they were working on two characters at the same time and development started immediately after the game was finished. The DLC announcements/releases got closer and closer together as the pass went on, and I expect the same here.
This is so beautiful. Love it.
I don't watch NBA but it's very sad news to hear about what happened to Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and everyone else on that helicopter. RIP and God bless their souls.Today we lost a legend. R.I.P. Kobe Bryant and his daughter and everyone on that helicopter. This is unreal...
I've yet to take the time to watch this Steve Mayles interview. I might watch it in a bit if I'm not too tired.I know this might not be the right time, but CanadianGuyEh managed to score an interview with Steve Mayles.
The bear and bird are brought up around 15:20.
So, the gist of it is...
-Kazooie was originally just a pair of disembodied feet and wings.
-It's true, Nuts & Bolts came about because Rare wanted to do something different than just Threeie. However, that's because doing a proper sequel only felt right with Nintendo.
-Blast Corps would have been a better fit for Nuts & Bolts' concept than BK (which I agree with).
-Yes, he finds it incredible that the duo has been brought to Smash after all this time.
-Steve has mixed feelings over whether BK needs remakes for the duology for an Xbox audience (especially if they're being done by a different dev team, since the duo are his babies), though he acknowledges that whoever does them would need proper big budget to give that and a new game the right treatment.
Also, nice to hear the shout-out for Grabbed By the Ghoulies at the end.
I hope that Krazy sees this.
It's ironic because I got this game CIB with the manual and everything at a garage sale down the street from me years ago for $4 bucks. I never even played the game.
I think it should be Dixie Kong, but I wouldn't argue if it was the Battletoads.
It's actually pretty good for controlling space and zoning. Having stage control is pretty important for zoners / semizoners, and while Banjo does definitely have some rushdown options too, more options don't hurt at all.
Would you say it's better than the original Yooka-Layee or just as meh/alright?
I actually have yet to play the 1st game, (I know I know) I have been meaning to, But I heavily prefer getting my games physical, But Best Buy is the only retailer that carry's them and is charging $50 for it and for whatever reason they never go on sale probably because their from Limited Run, When I have seen it digitally go as low as around $12-15, So I have been flip flopping between both versions.
I will just say that Yooka-Laylee tried to play like Banjo-Kazooie but had the huge worlds and **** ton of collectables that DK64 had. It wasn't that impressive to me and I would go as far as to say that I like DK64 more and I'm not that big of a DK64 fan as I felt like it was more like a overblown Banjo-Kazooie game more than a DKC game.
have been in the process of being prepared for upcoming projects, shortly after he was revealed.
I like Yooka-Laylee for what it is. I think people wrongly compare it to Odyssey, a AAA title from an established company, whereas Yooka-Laylee is an indie game from a company that just started. However, that doesn't explain away all of the faults, just the areas that are unpolished, and parts that feel half-baked or incomplete.
Don't give me hope because if Tiny comes back to the mainline games than Lanky is probably coming back too. I really want to see Lanky return.On the topic of DK, what are the chances that we'll get some sort of content tied to the next game in future Ultimate DLC? We know that plans for
It would probably also explain why none of Teen!Tiny Kong's artwork has been used in anyway whatsoever despite her younger self being in here, but that's a stretch.
Speaking of which, Krazy drew her recently.
At the very least, we know that the series is still going. Who knows when we'll see the next entry though, but it's certain that they'll stop relying on just Retro Studios now that those guys have to do Prime 4.
Not gonna lie - after Dixie, Lanky would be my personal choice for a fifth DK rep. Blowgun + Orange Grenades + Handstand shenanigans all day.

But I want to see Retro tackle one more DKC game with the Kremlings in it.
Now that K. Rool is in Lanky is literally my pipedream DK pick. Dixie I definitely want more but Lanky is literally more of a pipedream than K. Rool ever was because if it has taken this long to get K. Rool and we still don't have Dixie, Funky, and Cranky than imagine how low of a priority Lanky must be for Sakurai to ever be consider for a slot in Smash.
aren't you forgetting one last guy?
Chunky? He's dead.
god dangit!Chunky? He's dead.
Technically it’s true, as long as she has clockwork eggs at the ready.
I read that whole thread. Now I cannot unread it.
He got brought back to the real world, he'll be fine now.Chunky? He's dead.
No biggie, just get the fanbase to agree and concentrate more on the remaining Kongs. The fact that only one DKC character at a time gets massive fan support has basically turned inclusions for this series into a chivalric process. If the Geno fanbase doesn't give up despite being a martyrdom at this point, surely we'll stand a chance.
I'd take your "unrealistic" pass in a heartbeat! Amaterasu, Chocobo, Spyro, and Bomberman all in one pass? Yes please!
i'm relief to hear you say that about Chunky.
Huzzah! A man of quality!"He has no style, he has no grace! This Kong has a funny face! He can handstand, when he needs to and stretch his arms out, just for you! Inflate himself, just like a balloon, this crazy Kong just digs this tune! Huh!"
I wonder if anyone has actually sat down & thought of just how much could be done with Lanky's sheer elasticity, amongst other materials from DK64 like firearms, music instruments & animal buddies. I'm confident he'd rival Banjo, Wario & Dedede in sheer wacked-out expressiveness, with squash-n-stretch that'd give Kirby & Jigglypuff a run for their money.
I think the Tiny, Lanky, and Chunky coming in with the Tag Barrel conspect would be safer and easier than the tag team conspect Sakurai originally had for both Diddy and Dixie in Brawl. Reason I say this is because there would only be one Kong on the screen at a time with the Tag Barrel instead of two with the Diddy & Dixie tag team conspect. The conspect of the Tag Barrel would somewhat be like Pokemon Trainer in a way. I would be all up for it if it means we get Lanky. But I highly doubt in a million years that conspect will become a reality in Smash.
Yeah, but you never know. Stranger things have happened, and the alternative wouldn't help much anyway (waiting 20 years for the DK Krew to be complete). In the meantime a new DK game reveal would help, but it's the waiting game until then.
I think it will take longer than that honestly for the DK krew to finally be complete in Smash. Honestly, I'll just be satisfied with DK representation in the roster if we ever get Dixie Kong. She is literally the last core DK character not in Smash yet. We got DK the protagonist, Diddy the co-protagonist, and K. Rool the main antagonist. All we are really missing is the heroine Dixie in terms of the main players in the DK franchise. DK would basically be like Mario during Melee when Mario, Luigi, Bowser, and Peach all finally got in together.
She is at least kept in mind with the Mii hat. Even if we don't get her this game by the end of DLC support, she's a shoo-in for next time.
in here.Her and Funky definitely both seem like locks for Smash 6, but nothing is really guaranteed. Funky seems like easy Echo material and I was surprise they didn't put him into Ultimate.She is at least kept in mind with the Mii hat. Even if we don't get her this game by the end of DLC support, she's a shoo-in for next time.
To think I had to wait one more game to finally see
