Actually, Peach has gotten more girly in smash if Relax Alax was any indicationSexism confirmed!
Oh wait, that already happened with Super Princess Peach. But it was fun seeing the female rights groups being triggered by the idea of fighting with your out of control moods. No matter why Peach never had such abilities in any Smash title since Sakurai would be afraid of offending them.
AKA the guy who created the franchise and the manga, seriously, Other M Samus in nothing like Manga Samus yet Sakamoto says that American fans simply didn't understand because of the manga not being localized!The sad thing is, all of Other M's flaws are directly because of Sakamoto.
This beautiful quote made my morning.
The whole anti-criticism thing isn't exclusive to Smash bros. There's always those sort of fans with everything though funnily enough I've mostly seen it with Nintendo products.
Yeah, there's definitely an anti-criticism culture surrounding Nintendo in general. I'd be curious to really dig into the reasons why, perhaps in a more appropriate thread or site.
Eh, it PLAYS alright, pretty fun when it can be, but the bad outweighs the good by so much it's not even worth it
I think sometimes especially now the community as a case of "Everything is amazing but nobody's happy" We have some the greatest character in video game history for example and have the rare opportunity to get more and people waste the opportunity on wanting well subjectively "bad" characters you know the ones and not talking about Freddy or Shrek or Goku.
Why do I have a feeling you just came back from for glory
Here;s an excerpt of my Paper Mario moveset which has it
Haven't played all day actually, but I must say Roy makes the other FE characters look like children with wooden swords.Why do I have a feeling you just came back from for glory
I can't even be mad about that, good work.Here;s an excerpt of my Paper Mario moveset which has it
: Paper Mario holds his fist with an angry face for a tiny amount of time. If any foes attack him while in this state, he will spin with his fist up and the enemy receives strong damage. This is basically a counter, but it has good ending lag so this is risky to use, but the damage it gives worth the try.
I didn't featured visuals, but it would be like this:
I would jsut love that
Or perhaps we need a swordsman Pokemon, I nominate Aegislash!
To quote Sakurai, "But he might have been a little slow. Would that have been alright?"
But what if Aegislash suffers the same nerfing treatment as Greninja for no reason?
In all honestly, I think people would prefer Gallade for a swordy
I mean pretty much the entire character gimmick is incorrect. Also Jump and Smash. At least he's in the game, so I can't complain.
I believe the most important aspect of that statement is "accurate as much as POSSIBLE." Sakurai should take some creative liberties for the sake of cohesiveness. I mean, Green Missile is amazing.Another thing that bothers me when people talk about Sakurai is this notion that he's incredibly lazy or tone-deaf/out of touch when it comes to making character movesets. A lot of people went up in arms about this after Sakurai said he strives for characters to be accurate as much as possible. "But but, you gave this character this thing he doesn't do in his game!".

There are a few characters I feel who aren't exactly up to snuff (Ganondorf, Wario, etc) but I honestly do think Sakurai did proper justice for most of the characters in Smash, especially a lot of the newcomers in Smash 4 like Mega Man, Ryu, Shulk, Villager, and such. He makes some elements up, but for the most part it usually fits the character in question. Luigi doesn't launch himself like a missile in Mario games, and yet it works because Luigi is weird, awkward, and yet amazing, as is Green Missile.
Even the characters who have entirely made up movesets still make sense within the context of their series. Star Fox characters fight like arwings, being able to shoot, boost forward, and reflect. Falcon is basically an F-Zero vehicle with legs: Fast, hits like a truck, sharp turns, the fire, etc.
While that's true, Speed is adapted better than it possibly could be, and I'm willing to forgive Jump and Smash. Just don't use Buster and Shield instead of Enchant and ArmourI mean pretty much the entire character gimmick is incorrect. Also Jump and Smash. At least he's in the game, so I can't complain.
Yeah, I personally would have given him speed, armour and enchant. I still like the way he plays and was implemented, but I always like canon movesets, which is why I wish Ness could get a revamp. That's never happening though.
I like Ness's current moveset because it lets him represent all aspects of Earthbound, rather than just his abilities as a character. As Sakurai stated over here...
In Duck Hunt, the dog doesn't kick cans from Hogan's Ally, nor does he summon cowboys from Wild Gunman, but in the context of Smash, the character Duck Hunt is meant to be a personification of NES Zapper games. Kinda the same thing with Ness and Earthbound (and Lucas/Mother 3).
Don't forget Lucas, who plays differently in Mother 3 than he does in Smash! ****ing Lucas stealing Kumatora's moves and Rope Snake
Yeah, the laziness arguments are almost always wrong. Apathy may be more applicable where series like DK, Metroid and Wario Land are concerned, but I don't think anyone could look at the product we got and doubt the mountain of work that went into making it.Another thing that bothers me when people talk about Sakurai is this notion that he's incredibly lazy or tone-deaf/out of touch when it comes to making character movesets.

This, 100%. Often it feels like people reduce legitimate criticisms to be had towards Sakurai/Smash to "RIDLEYRIDLEYRIDLEY"
You're way too lenient man! What we really need is more blue-haired FE Marth clone swordsmen because the community is upset about the overrepresentaion of DK and Metroid characters while series like FE (as well as Mario and PKMN) are way too underrepresented in the game. Just give us more Marth/Mario clones instead of giving us unique characters, that's what we want as a fanbase.
Eirika and that blue-haired Anna! Total DLC shoe-ins!You're way too lenient man!

LOL On a serious note though Roy is amazing. Marth looks like a bum in comparison, that range.You're way too lenient man!

You fool, the only character that deserves the title of a shoo-in should be none other than Brash. And you know what really makes him angry, false misconceptions like these and those who have zero faith in the real Rarebare's inclusion. This sort of attitude really makes my want blow up in a fit of hair-raising rage.You're way too lenient man!

I don't know about swordsmen, but there certainly isn't enough blue haired FE characters!

is now a mario clone. is now a Marth clone. is back to a kirby clone. Please understand.
I think you're misinterpreting my point.
Yeah, I agree, variety is always good. Thing is, I've found most Ridley discussions (if you can call one or two supportive posts followed by SHADDUP a discussion) stem from topics we've also brought up many times...think "who did you vote for?" or "Rank the characters' chances." If we can branch out from those too, I think you'll see more freshness in general in terms of which characters get brought up and how.
