Well, they had no problem with letting Kratos appear in Fortnite, which technically means he can now be seen on Xbox and Switch. Same thing with Master Chief, who does appear on other consoles in the form of a skin in Minecraft and Fortnite.
The thing is, the final character doesn't have to be the peak of Smash hype and the precedent suggests that it's actually more likely that it won't. Personally, I don't see Nintendo holding a Western-oriented pick like Kratos until fall when E3 would make much more sense in terms of audience engagement.
Not to be an asshole but:
I don't think Spirit Events themselves deconfirm a certain character; only if that character shows up in the event itself. I mean, I get the reasoning behind it; why release an event with new spirits if you're going to release a new character down the road that could use the spirits in the special DLC Spirits section, but I'm not 100% convinced a new Spirit Event is a death sentence for a character.
We currently have no human character Spirits in terms of the Pokemon series outside of the Fighter Spirits for the playable Pokemon Trainers.
For NiGHTS I can see them having some crazy free flying mechanic tbh, like, it replaces up B and there's a meter that shows how long you can still fly, with the meter only filling up on the ground and/or when doing ground attacks. After all, NiGHTS was on a time limit in the games too
Swap and Pokemon Change switch you to a different character, that's all they do. It doesn't matter what type of characters are included with them because that's not part of the function.
Yes, let’s consider things from a different angle and….reads post take into account the exact same factors we have been since the beginning. Alright.
It does, actually. Quite a lot.
I literally think your argument is equivalent to arguing all the mechanics I described are just "ouchie-boons"; therefore I propose we drop the topic because evidently our views are not reconcilible.
You may think that, but this final slot is unique from the others in one regard: it's the final slot. Ever. Even if there's another Smash game, it couldn't possibly have all the characters from Ultimate. Someone will be the finishing touch to the largest and broadest character roster we may ever see in console gaming, and I think it may as well be someone who redefines what we consider to be a Smash character.
You can use Pokemon Change in the air. That's literally one of the changes they show off during the Everyone is here presentation. Also switching pokemon after being ko'd is an automatic mechanic, you don't use Down Special to do this.
inb4 Sony decides that they want to expand their audience, and go with it.
Source?
I think they’re basing it on the fact that after Hero and Banjo, the next time we got a Smash reveal, they confirmed we were getting another wave of fighters. They probably assumed the reception to Hero and Banjo led to the continuation of the dlc and thus the characters were decided then. I don’t personally agree with it but eh
If they work differently, they're unique. And they work differently. The strategy used is because they work differently.
I think that it was after either Banjo's presentation or Terry's.
Yeah. Dotemu made Streets of Rage 4.
I think that was either Terry or Banjo?
Maybe, but NiGHTS would still need to be on the ground most of the time, which is not what the games are known for.
I’m pretty certain it was after Terry was announced but before Banjo’s presentation because I remember hearing about it in that time frame but I didn’t watch Banjo’s presentation
Just checked, it was Terry presentation in September 2019, then Fighter’s Pass 2 was announced January 2020 in Byleth’s presentation. Of course, this doesn’t take into account when these presentations were actually recorded. Suffice to say, I don’t think the characters had to be decided back in E3 2019, if the pass wasn’t announced until 2020.
I can't because the game outright does not exist on the European gaming market.I can see Dragalia Lost
not my ideal first mobile rep tho
I would imagine it would be something along the lines of Dark Samus where the character is constantly hovering just above the ground for the grounded attacks and walk cycle. The character would probably end up being the opposite of Little Mac where they excel in the air but are less powerful on the ground.
Well of course, at that point all six were already decided and locked in
Hey, at least it's not Japan-exclusive...
But all Smash characters, minus the Earthbound reps and the original 2 FE characters, were in games available in all of the major regions at the time of the Smash game's release. I don't expect them to add Euden when European players would have to be forced to seek illegal methods just to play the game he hails from.
Well, Hero and Banjo were recorded in the same week. That should help with figuring out the timeline.
