Bu-b-but Mog!
Dark Samus isn't "edgy". Unless by that you mean "sinister". I suspect you don't mean "at the forefront of a trend; experimental or avant-garde", either.-(an upgraded AT) &
Yeah. Or disproved or refuted.
Just letting you know, highly recurring spinoff character =/= major character.-It seems like Sakurai wanted to add every single major Mario character except Waluigi and Toad while at the same time adding
On that note Sakurai never once said Ridley would never be in Smash. He simply said his size was a large enough obstacle to his development, but eventually he just caved because the demand was too high.
More like comparing apples to small planets, actually, seems as how different the situations actually are.
Current online usage of the word amounts to "trying too hard to be serious, angsty, dark; an overt and poorly-executed attempt to appeal to counter-culture teenagers; Sasuke Uchiha."
Yeah, Dark Samus wasn't made with any of that in mind. Her origin of inspiration came from SA-X, an X parasite doppelgänger of Samus in Metroid Fusion. The sequel and darkhorse of the Metroid Prime trilogy was created in a similar fashion to that of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
I thought though he said making Ridley playable would demean his status as a boss or at least something around those lines.
Something like that, yes. But the point I was trying to make was that Ridley having design obstacles and Goku being from the wrong media are tow completely different reasons to not be in Smash.
This. I agree with this.
It's too new. Not surprising at all.
I agree but disagree. I admit not every new character should be considered for Smash. I do, however, think characters from Nintendo's established series are exempt from the rule. Inkling is a fine example of the opposite though. The series isn't even that old. Surely not enough to prove the test of time. Yet they absolutely should be, and are, in Smash. Though if it will prove itself against time 20 years from now? That's a different story.
I dunno man. Being new didn't stop
from getting in. I can see why some people would think that characters like a BOTW rep or Rex had a shot in.
I think the difference is that Fire Emblem doesn't HAVE recurring characters to pick from as an option, and Pokemon are assumed by proxy to be in all future games. At least, that was the case before Sword/Shield.I dunno man. Being new didn't stop
That and Fire Emblem and Pokémon are both established series. The fact that they have completely revolving door casts and are established means they can afford to have marketing gimmick characters.
Me neither
I assume you are considering Elma as X's protagonist. Either way, it was probably more the way he was deconfirmed (kind of like Chrom in 4).
Bayonetta had two games.
Two games an icon does not make.
At least Joker actually has more of a personality in smash ultimate than his own game.
....Is that a good thing though? Cause he still doesn't have much.
Bayonetta was about 6 years old when Smash 3DS originally released. That's a good threshold to be considered established with one game. And even if ARMS won't continue that would be a good threshold for first party franchises as well.
I think we can blame that on Atlus having this thing about milking one mainline Persona installment dry and only paying lipservice to prior ones before moving on to the next.
Being old doesn't make an icon. Had Nintendo not given the series a second chance, it may have stayed dead. Doesn't exactly scream one of gaming's greats.
I expect him and the Octolings as guaranteed first-party dlc. This is Smash’s biggest game so I think Nintendo will want their bigger first-party stuff to get more representation or have at least two fighters and currently, only Splattoon and Xenoblade chronicles are lacking representation. Coming to think of it, we might get another Bayonetta rep despite her series being third-party, because her series is pretty much a Nintendo exclusive.
Have you been seeing the same DLC as I have? Especially that Rex costume bit. I say we get Byleths (oh joy) and that's it for Nintendo representation. Cause, why would they cater to Nintendo fans in their DLC?
Why is it a travesty? I see no reason why Sonic needs special treatment among the guests.
