If you could just say with good points why you believe Shulk's reveal tailer is bad instead of just saying it as a fact maybe there could be a better debate
I posted an entire THREAD about why the video was horrendous. Without cause, it was shut down. That in itself urks me about the Shulk video, because there are threads in almost every newcomer forum about the video. Mine in particular, however, explained why such a mediocre video was a clue to something further, such as Sakurai's acknlowedgement of the leak, and the leak being part of his marketing strategy from the BEGINNING.
The notion is subjective I suppose. But enough about Shulk, what do you think about Dark Pit's soft-confirmation? Does it... enrage you? Or are you perhaps still holding out for the hope that he was relegated to an alternate costume?!
I'm very happy Dark Pit is "confirmed!" I told you once before, you never understood why I did not like him, or rather, that you did not understand my take on Dark Pit. I personally, do not think that Kid Icarus should have three reps...no. However, if Sakurai's upgrade words could be taken at face value, which it seems it could (then hoorah, more characters, AND he may have possibly separated the characters too, which aesthetically works, to make the clones a separate entourage, rather than the franchise's party in terms of REPRESENTATION).
...ergh, where was I... oh, my thoughts on Dark Pit.
I was never against him. There are few characters I am actually
against, even if I am very willing to play devils advocate. I have not PLAYED Kid Icarus yet (I am about to, and I am very, very excited. I may even be purchasing Xenoblade as well). My issue is that, if we were going to get a clone, I thought that Medusa made more sense. Sure, in terms of an upgrade, maybe not entirely, but even still- it does in fact lower my opinion of Sakurai just a little to have Dark Pit and Pit as characters both, for all the reasons said. I don't care if there are 100 reasons to Tuesday as to why they are different- I don't even like Toon or Zero Suit as adjective. Adjective characters bug me. If his name happened to be 'Ted,' I'd maybe feel a lot differently. That, and how he looks. Yet, first appearances matter, they do. He is an alt, and a character, and that makes him fun.
Especially, because of this! I posted a longer version of this in... I think the DK thread, yet, essentially, having Dr Mario and Lucina (ROY), is Sakurai catering to the Melee competitive crowd. He included them to show that he was listening to the fans. I am super, super excited to have them on board, as characters, as a particular throwback to my childhood. Dark Pit completes a trilogy there, with three clones, which is numerically more round than two. With that, we also have two Mario's (which, we need if we have Two Links), we have a Melee clone, a remade Melee clone, and a completely new clone based on a Brawl character. It is a piece of Smash history!
That said, as an Intellectual Property, nothing will probably convince me that Dark Pit is not a moronic option, particularly to a director who cares so much about aesthetic. But, so be it! Bring on the erotic literature for Pit and Dark Pit.
