It unironically looks good, and it somehow has me more excited than the long-awaited Toy Story 4.
Detective Pikachu will also have to go up against Avengers 4.
The trailer has over three times the views of TS4's. I'm sure it can at least compete with that, but won't top Infinity War 2.
I nnow need to see live-action Lucario, Gengar and Decidueye. I really love the design of Jigglypuff and Greninja. Gonna see it
Vergeben only specified Minecraft content in general. He never said anything specific. Hitagi's the one who's been saying that Steve is in.
You're exaggerating on that last part there. Just because they could include a character that feels out of place acording to people shouldn't automatically ruin a game that's amazing and fun anyways. Plus, whether you like it or not, minecraft is iconic: it made an impact in the gaming industry, so the inclusion would make sense. Would people want it? Mostly no, but it would make sense.
Yeah, honestly my expectations are still kind of high, considering how Crash and Spyro have both been brought back from the dead, and Lycanroc is still a strong contender for Pokémon. I still feel that somehow though, Nintendo found a way to screw up at a large % of the choices they have given Sakurai to use.
Even if the DLC sucks from my perspective, four out of six unique newcomers on Ultimate's base roster were on my most-wanted list, and that's not even including veterans. Gotta remind myself to be thankful for what I've got.
And yeah, that was so underwhelming. Ok, but quite inferior. They should've uploaded the trainer battle theme instead.
Eh, it's more exciting that way. After the main roster, it'd feel nice if all DLC characters were left-field like Piranha Plant (preferably without being common mooks).
Honestly, I'd rather see more 1st parties than 3rd at this point. A lot of the luster of having non-Nintendo characters in Smash has worn off and it feels like we're running out of big names to put in. Not everyone can be a Sonic, Mega Man, or Cloud. While Erdrick would be cool, anything else is excess.
I think Sakurai's reasons for keeping Takamaru unplayable are now BS, but I can understand why Ayumi isn't playable. The Famicom Detective Club microgame in Warioware Touched was even removed in international versions.
"Keep" unplayable? You're making it sound like making a playable character is a low-effort process.
I wouldn't mind that. It'd be funny to see people baffled at, say for example, Poochy, when he actually would make sense as an addition.
The VC release of Murasame Castle came out too late to consider, and they ported most of 4's assets anyway, so he'll probably get a chance next time.
I'm not thinking "Change this to a meat dish" but rather "If assist trophies mean characters can't be DLC fighters, don't keep Takamaru as one."
I really, really doubt Nintendo was going to suggest him as a DLC character in the first place.
If they were gonna change anyone they would change Waluigi or Isaac because they are heavily requested first party Characters that are present in Nintendo's library, and I have heard rumors of Golden Sun 4. For Waluigi i think that they would listen and just get over the twitter floods and death threats
Literally the only place I see Lycanroc's quadrupredal build getting in the way is with items, which as Wario and Pikachu show, don't have to be handled realistically. If Wario can just grip a Super Scope around the center of the gun one-handed and magically make it fire, there's not really anything stopping Dusk or Midday Lycanroc from tilting their head and biting the center of the gun to magically make it fire. Large things like crates and barrels Lycanroc can easily launch on their back with a small stone pillar and just buck off.Look, not trying to be a downer, but don't you think there's a reason that such a build has been "untapped" and that the only "quadrupeds" Smash has specifically have realistic alternative means to work around the issues a "true" quadruped would have?
Midnight is the best bet Lycanroc has.
And honestly?
Would be pretty cool to have both of Cross' Pokémon able to team up in Smash, not going to lie.
A feral werewolf with rock powers and a heavy focus on punishing opponents using fake outs and cheap tricks (which yes, would include baiting with a counter) would be something right up Sakurai's alley.
And there's also this option.If Sakurai is really, really struggling to get around certain aspects of Lycanroc being a quadraped, he could always take inspiration from Wham Bam Rock from Kirby Super Star and give him a nifty pair of geokinetic rock hands.
Besides, I think we all know how much Sakurai likes to reference Kirby Super Star in Smash Bros.
At first, I mostly joined because I love wolves and your character concept for Dusk Lycanroc was incredibly well-done. I've stayed because, having now played the Alola games, Lycanroc is officially one of my top 3 Alolan mons in terms of design, type, and usefulness, and for the unique traits Lycanroc can bring to Smash as a sun/moon themed earthbender.
I don't agree with Hau being underwhelming as a final battle, but that's mostly because I only struggled with Kukui in Sun when I used an Incineroar. Poor Amazon just completely lost everything when she evolved.... and the rest of my original Sun team wasn't a whole lot better, honestly. My Moon team, featuring Decidueye, Flareon, and Leafeon, was a lot better. Hau didn't sweep my team or anything, but in Ultra Sun he at least took down my second Decidueye and I think one other Pokemon, and while my Glaceon OHKO'd his Noivern while underleveled, that was the result of stat boosters plus the extreme type advantage Ice Beam had against a Flying/Dragon-Type. Meanwhile, Moon Kukui didn't get the chance to use his Z-Move and failed to KO a single mon. And we weren't overleveled, either. Time will tell how my Ultra Moon team fares, but I've got high hopes considering I'm using Popplio, Sylveon, and Umbreon. I'm not sure if I'll actually use yet another Lycanroc this time around, since I've used Midday form twice now and Keaton did well enough in Moon that I'm a little afraid his kin might get screwed by luck, plus not having access to a Dusk Lycanroc at the moment since I missed the event.
I think it's just that Dusk Lycanroc only spawn Own Tempo Rockruff Eggs since Own Tempo Rockruff is coded separately from normal Rockruff due to the Dusk Lycanroc.
I'd rather see more first party newcomers myself, but for slightly different reasons. While there are still a handful of interesting third party options out there, there're still so many compelling options within Nintendo's own repertoire. It'd be a damn shame if they all got left out in the cold just because they wouldn't generate as much short term attention in comparison, you know?
You know, that last part's actually pretty brilliant. Summoning a small rock to pop the crate or barrel up and onto their back would be a really neat touch that also highlights Lycanroc's unique powers.
Well, I'm flattered that I was the reason you got invested. Nice to see you speaking up again yourself!
Yeah, honestly Nintendo should just stick to their own characters, nothing against third parties, but let’s be honest: Nintendo characters have a much higher chance of sticking around than most of these one-off third parties, or the ones that only get a game every 3-4 years. Just take Waluigi for example: created with the sole purpose of Wario having a tennis partner, he somehow managed to stick around and has appeared in pretty much every spin-off since then. Then let’s not even get into all of the gen 1-2 pokemon, who’ve have stuck around for a lot longer than pretty much every third party there is (a lot of the ones made before them have faded into obscurity, or just flat out disappeared for whatever reason). Here’s another thing: only a few sonic characters and a couple other third parties would actually work and fit in to smash. A lot of them, Steve included, just wouldn’t make any sense with Sakurai being who he is: he adds joke characters, yes, but those are all Nintendo characters that actually have interesting potential in the game. Compared to every fighter on that roster, a lot of third parties would boring or lackluster for what the game is.
The thing about gen 8 is that it's most likely coming out in november, while the dlc ends in february 2020, so the gen 8 pokemon could be the final dlc.
There's a surprising amount of Pokemon recycled from Smash 4. I'd think Spewpa and Dedenne would get cut because of Pyukumuku and Togedemaru, Gogoat would be replaced with Mudsdale, and Oshawott would be replaced with Popplio.
Couldn't this same exact point apply to first party characters as well? After K. Rool and Ridley, there are almost no more heavy hitters to add.
Thing is, that window is probably still too small, based on past precedent. Corrin, for example, was added to Smash in February 2016, but Fire Emblem Fates' initial release in Japan was in June 2015, a difference of about 7 1/2 months. Considering Corrin was apparently chosen right around, or shortly after, Fates' debut while this entire wave of DLC for Ultimate is already locked in as of two weeks ago, it doesn't bode well for games that won't be out until a full year from now.
Seems...I dunno. The 'mons we got are alright and all, but there're definitely fewer new ones than in past games.
The point doesn't apply to either, in truth. On the first party side in particular, Nintendo keeps creating new stars over time that rise to prominence. Just because they don't have the same seniority as the characters us older fans grew up with doesn't mean they can't be heavy hitters. Case in point, my most viewed character concept video is the one for Bandana Dee!
Honestly I think he just meant echoes wouldn’t be included as paid dlc in the fighters pass. I still expect some echoes to happen, maybe just as part of free updates to the game though.
I doubt there'll be free echoes, even Mii costumes are paid.
Ok, yeah you’re probably right, I honestly forgot about those up until now due to how honestly useless they were to purchase.
I get my money's worth, since I used Miis a lot, but it seems a lot of people just bought them to leave them collecting dust.
Yeah, i Honestly never touched miis that much but now that ultimate seems to have given them a graphical touch up, I might just have to use ‘me a couple times.
1. I really don't think so, seeing how the pricing model is universal across the many packs. If one pack had an echo to go along with its character, that would necessitate putting an echo in every pack or changing the price of that pack to match the content included. That being said, I wouldn't mind paying $1.99 to get an extra echo.
Sorry I haven’t responded in such a long time, but I do want to share my thoughts.
