I will look up that video, because I honestly prefer DK64 to Banjo Kazooie.
Good on you for mentioning this. Last year, I replayed DK64 for the first time in over a decade and fell victim to this glitch. I was going to attempt to 100% the game but that took the wind out of my sails.
I predicted this months ago that we would probably be getting two characters revealed and perhaps released at E3. I swear though that if it's Erdrick and Steve like people have been speculating for months about, I'm leaving the speculation scene until the entire Season Pass is out.
With how the leakers for Steve have been disappearing and ducking out I'd say he's not as likely now. Microsoft has been oddly optimistic about Banjo-kazooie to put all 3 games up on their displays. Might be a hunch but I got a gut feeling that this E3 is going to be very interesting if Sabi's Smash 4 source pulls through.
It's Spring Man I'm pretty sure. I'd also say that, in terms of Killer Instinct, Spinal is more recognizable than Jago. Jago definitely isn't the Mascot, at least any more, but he is the Ryu of the game. The main beginner character, same with spring man, came with Scorpion and Sub-zero. Which is one reason that they ARE the mascots of their games. Because they're a GREAT beginning character.
Entei got a movie, a pretty large one, one of the most well received ones. Lugia got a movie. Yeah, Gen 2 had more movies than Gen 1 for a LONG time lol.
I honestly forgot Spinal had much of anything. But yeah, being the Ryu in itself won't make you the mascot for all time. I like the comparison to Liu Kang better, cause being the hero is really the point. Sometimes the hero is the mascot.
Yep. But mainly that none of the movies star anyone(besides Ash's crew) if they weren't a Legendary or Pichu, which is an important thing in itself. It wasn't a coincidence why Pichu is the only non-Legendary to get movies. It's an important character for the Generation. Also, Celebi had a movie too, though that came out far later and was a made-for-tv one, I believe.
I think 4ever (Celebi/Suicune) and Heroes(Latias and Latios) were in theaters but only for a limited release.
It's possible, but I can see why an Echo would work too. A lot don't seem to understand they really don't have any special gameplay to separate them as easily as others. Ribbon Girl's specialty is "double jump". Literally everyone in Smash does that. She works well as an alt since she shares everything the same.
Huh, interesting. So a third category. Made for TV, Straight to Home, and Full Theatrical Release. Did I miss any other ones? I mean, obviously most things eventually become "Straight to Home" releases.
The problem with a Banjo show is, bar one line in Diddy Kong Racing, all the characters speak in whatever noises they make.
That is a good point. Yeah, might not work. I mean, it's not like they're incapable of speaking among the overall settings/style. As Conker proves, who has the overall same style. And the jokes I know are sometimes a bit inappropriate as well(as said before). I don't mean Conker's jokes either. ...I guess Conker could make a pretty easy show in comparison, heh. Though if they did that, they can have other Rareware characters show up, even with less dialogue depending who it is. What other Rareware characters don't speak at all usually? I mean, the one-liner in Diddy Kong Racing is still something of note, so he has a voice among the overall series. And I do remember they were supposed to be connected together(or in the same universe) with the first game in the settings being Diddy Kong Racing as is. They could stick to that idea, if Nintendo would allow it?
I will take this cartoon bear and bird and I will get to freaken Evo, this I swear.
Knowing how Sakurai handles most animals/monsters in smash . If Banjo gets in I feel like all we will get is "generic bear sounds" regardless if they actually talk or not.
I'm not so sure that has as much to do with Sakurai so much as that's how they were first portrayed. Bowser didn't start having a voice till quite a long time later, after all. He usually is roars and grunts in most games, with what, Sunshine being his only voiced lines?
I'd be fine with either making it in. I don't care about DQ, but I respect it and would happy to see Erdrick and I'm pretty much expecting him at this point. As for Steve, I've seen many more signs pointing towards Banjo rather than Steve, so I'm really feeling like we're getting Banjo. There's just been so many little tidbits of information in his favor and I haven't seen much against him, but with Steve it's almost the opposite. Fingers crossed, I guess.
She can jump 4 times not just twice. Other then that she would likely have unique animations which can be enough to qualify a character to be an echo.
I hear this all the time. People who haven't played ARMS really don't understand that these characters move, jump, dodge and attack differently. I suppose if you haven't played the game you wouldn't be able to know the differences since they are subtle. So it's no big deal.
No, you just gave a more elaborate explanation. More or less, yeah, same thing was said. I'm not sure the issues with taunts would exist, as they've had alternate taunt animations for different genders. But them having unique movement animations and hitboxes is proof they wouldn't work as alternate costumes. Though I'm not sure if it's as different as Alph(who really isn't very different besides potential taunts, which I wish he would get at least his own to fit his personality better. The alt costume thing works due to all the Captains being pretty much identical playstyle-wise. It's just the personality is rather off) would be, or more like how'd you expect Dark Samus to be when it comes to animation differences. I don't know enough on either of them to say how big the differences are. Though am I correct that they share the same bodyshape?
Yeah, I didn't know she had 4 jumps. To say the least, 4 jumps wouldn't scream a good reason for an Echo. Having a lot of different animations, though, yeah, she'd make way more sense as an Echo. I mentioned a few bits in the first paragraph otherwise. But yeah, my bad.
I kind of agree but at the same time removing Marth's tip was enough to make Lucina an echo and a different FS was enough for DP so sometimes really small differences are enough for an echo. Comes down to how Sakurai sees it.
Taunts aren't small differences in that case, I mean. Nothing would stop Spring Man from using 4 jumps if he combined the characters.
There is? Which fighter has alternate taunts? I forgot.
Just tested Inkling and they have all the same exact animations.iirc,and
I think Inkling Boy only have different animations for his idle and victory screen, which are all pretty minor. My bad.
I was part of a 4chan thread where the guy made an edit of a smug fat Albert pic. Basically Fat Albert is the new avatar used by contrarians to spam Smash threads and appear above it all. Same goes to some dude posting a pic of Rash, but he's been bashing extremists on all sides, namely the Steve and Edrick bandwagoners so he's cool.
How very based.
Whats funny now is that these trolls and losers frequent this thread to find screen-caps to mock us, yet they hide away like cowards in their little discord group and freak out when spies post screencaps of their cringe. They then whirl around and call us hypocrites when none of us did anything to them in terms of raiding their discord or screen-capping their posts in Discord.
Agreed. The brave thing is way too generic of a term, sometimes even titles and roles in rpg and adventure games, to mean one specific character, the possibilities are many. If anything, that's a smart codename, because it truly doesn't give away anyone in particular.
Agreed, but I’m expecting it to be Erdrick and Banjo
Alright , this is ironic coming from a big Geno supporter , but I don't see Erdrick being as likely as everyone think he is. I especially don't expect him to show at E3 ;
