The thumbnails they create for these tournaments are always so sick and I am so glad we have them. I really wonder who does them. Sakurai said he writes all the reveal trailers, which is pretty dope, so I wonder if he also sketches these thumbnails out.
I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if he doodles an initial draft for the designer's reference. Wouldn't be the case in other game dev, but this is Sakurai we're talking about.
In positive news, I actually think the Deluxe Miis we got this go around (Sans, Cuphead, Vault Boy, and Bomberman) are all priority picks for the next Smash.
We'll get em next time, buddy.
I can see Bomberman and maybe Sans/Cuphead but all of them? I doubt it.
I think that's a bit rash. The next game probably isn't even a glint in Sakurai's eye yet, they aren't being selected with that foresight. So eventually when it happens, it's not like that specific category will be elevated to preferential status.
While I'm glad you're optimistic on their chances, I think it's way too early to say who the frontrunners for the next Smash are. We could be waiting 5 years before we see the next Smash. That's a lot of time for stuff to change, and for new games to come out.
has electric attacks and she wasn't disconfirmed by the electric attack tourney that came before her, I think Crash is safe.
Or Crash could always NOT have TNT crates as one of his moves. I don't think it'd be impossible to make such a moveset for him.
Nah. A TNT crate would most likely be a stage hazard for his stage.
Pfft. What if I told you that I'm 31 right now?In 5 years, I'll be 31.
Will you guys still love an old fogie?
YEAHHHHHHH LET'S ****ING GOOOOOOOO
Pyra and Mythra technically didn't bring anything new since the concept of a 2-in-1 character existed in Melee and Brawl on top of Pokemon Trainer being in the base roster. Their "new thing" comes from their stage's head and neck moving, so new mechanics don't necessarily have to be into the character's moveset.
Bat Within. You're thinking of Bat Within
It's both, really. It's Bayonetta's Witch Time move tied to Bayonetta's Bat Within effect.
Ooh I had one recently too, and they were Decidueye and Tails
Even though
Okami's 15th Anniversary is on the same day.
I see your point, but for Cuphead I don't think this series is going to die or be forgotten. There's the dlc coming eventually, the tv series coming on Netflix, and yesterday they announced a museum exhibit. Cuphead also has a lot of official merch such as T-shirt, mug, poster etc. Cuphead is insanely huge for indie game standard. The game Cuphead has sold 6 million copies alone (to put it in perspective, Shantae whole franchise has sold 3 millions games). I don't think Cuphead will suddenly disappear.
2021 has a lot of anniversaries, doesn't it?
Yeah, it’s almost like every time a year passes everything gets a year older
A lot of new series/spin offs spawned in 2001 so there are a bunch of 20 year anniversaries.
Well, every video game franchise will get a big anniversary every 5 years, so in average 1/5 of every video game ever released will have an anniversary this year.
They don't officially celebrate it at all, but it's also Dark Souls' 10th anniversary
Considering Sega themselves are ignoring it, I wouldn't get my hopes up...
Sega has actually been working on an open world MMORPG Vectorman game, the first Quadruple A game ever developed, to celebrate the 26th anniversary.
I know people have been refuting this, and I do think it's a bit premature to say they're outright priority picks, but I do think that Bomberman and Sans have very good shots of getting into Smash at some point in the eventual future.
