Illidan fights with a pair of giant glaives so I wouldn’t really consider him a brawler. Diablo is probably closest to Ridley in terms of play style being a huge monster with fiery attacks. I don’t know a lot about Demi-Fiend’s play style because I’ve never played a mainline SMT game (only Persona 3-5, Arena, and Strikers).
You said the funny
Well, like I said before, I don't even think I would be interested in buying a game like that at all if the roster was that tiny. Might as well just go back to playing Smash 64 lol.
Still not worth losing that many fan favorites. Look at Marvel vs Capcom Infinite
Especially since its execution was god-awful.
I wasn't talking about any character in specific. We can go back and forth all day about which characters would be prioritized. My point was that I find it pretty naive to assume that one rep from a company coming back means the rest would come with him. That ignores the realities of licensing and development and other reasons why characters don't always make it back.
because for some reason, people still think spirit events deconfirm
The fact they didn't have one for FE3H, but ones for RE, Astral Chain, and Pokemon Generation 8 says a lot about character chances/viability. This late into the second pass, any additional spirit events with new content are a death sentence for a character's chances.
I mean in any realistic scenario I agree; but I meant more of the abstract - if you had to choose.
Oh that I can certainly agree with. Personally the only characters I feel reasonably confident in are Sonic, Bayonetta, Pac-Man, and as new as he is Kazuya.
You realize these two statements oppose each other, right?
Actually, it technically can't.
Well, that and the fact they couldn't use Heihachi due to his voice actor's passing during the base game of Ultimate (his final role was Incineroar for the game).
I like the present concept of Smash Bros
I think Kaz would've happened anyway because of the Devil Gene mechanic since they could've always just... reused Tekken 7 clips for Heihachi.
going off this logic; King Boo is the last dlc character and smash ultimate speculation is over
Can we really say this with such confidence at this point? A week ago a series getting a Mii costume without a character was a "death sentence" too... and that was within the same pass, even. I think it's safe to be skeptical of these series with spirit events but IMO it's silly to act like they're such a firm disconfirmation at this rate. Because like, we know they can just release whatever they want whenever they want.
They treat voice actors with a great deal of respect in Japan and when one passes away, especially during a game's development, they don't try to replace them or use clips like that out of respect for them. The same thing also occurred when Hiromi Tsuru passed away before the release of Dragon Ball FighterZ, they didn't try to replace her right away.
Honestly I think the only "ground breaking" mechanic you could add to the game would be like...a meter of some sort. Maybe one that lets you use EX moves or something.
At this point, Miis are straight upgrades though, from not being in the game at all. Which Nightmare is obviously not going to be at this point.
Agreed.
Who the **** would?!
The Mii Costumes never deconfirmed series, only the characters in question represented by Mii Costumes. Many people thought Heihachi was the ONLY candidate for Smash, but forgot Jin and Kazuya existed. That, and Lloyd isn't the only Tales of series protagonist that could've been used had they gone with a Tales rep.
You realize Heihachi's last VA was replacing another one that had died, right?
I'm aware of that, but during Ultimate's base game and even the first Fighter pass, that would've been considered too soon.
We literally have an example of reused voice clips from a character who's voice actor died, and he's officially retired out of respect. I don't think that's going to be an issue from a character who's had about 4 voice actors at this point.
They can always go back to Banjo Ginga, the Heihachi VA who's yet to die.
But this is the second Fighters Pass, so that argument holds no ground for today.
Well we know that now, but had you asked everyone here a week ago I think you'd get a different consensus.
The way I see it, it's probably Harada being a troll.
Nintendo: Captain Toad/Toadette [Treasure Tracker]
I'm imagining it! That's another 3 Passes...
Heihachi's Mii costume was most likely added with MinMin because she's from a fighting game and they needed a fitting costume to go alongside her. After all, recall that she was one of the people Kazuya threw into the volcano in his trailer.
Ninjara wasn't fitting enough for Min Min?
That's good enough justification for Heihachi to appear alongside Min Min in a vacuum, but clearly the more fitting choice would be to release Heihachi alongside content from his own series. My point is just to keep an open mind about this stuff because apparently the logic we had accepted before isn't applicable any longer, so I think we ought to be consistent with that and allow for discussion of spirit events and the like.
As much as official renders from Capcom can be "from scratch". lol
Yeah unless they were crunched and couldn't make another ARMS costume (a Twintelle one would have been kind of interesting) there's not really any reason they threw in the Heihachi costume specifically.
