I think the only FPS games I’ve played since the N64 are Borderlands 2 and 3. It’s kind of weird because I loved GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, Turok 2, Duke Nukem 64 and Hexen. I used to play DOOM and Wolfenstein 3D on my computer before that. I’m not really sure what made me stop after the N64.
3rd Party company or series?
To be clear, I'm not saying Bayonetta was unpopular. I just never saw much during speculation that would make me place her higher than K. Rool, Banjo, Sora, Inklings, and a few others (I might be willing give her the leg up over Ridley, but that's mostly because morale was at an all-time low). If we include cut characters, then I'd rank her even lower.
I... don't think that's as impressive as you make it sound.
It also implies she is the main character in the extreme, which can't be said for K.Rool or Simon Belmont or Cloud or... you get it now? Votes for her franchise aren't split up the way K.Rool versus Dixie Kong would have been.
I'll go with company because TimeSplitters.
Honestly, I could sorta see that? Also moves her development time up to just shy of year, which lines up with Sakurai's statements it takes just over a year in extreme cases to get them sorted and balanced...
To add to this, I will point out that Bayonetta never made as many waves as the number #1 choice should probably make. Ridley, King K. Rool and Banjo&Kazooie were more enthusiastically received than Bayonetta ever was. At this point, It would probably be more believable if someone were to tell me that Steve was the ballot winner.
Hahah, I wish I shared your enthusiasm because I feel like it would be a very short leap to 'from the Bandai side this time' and then I get to be right in my earlier prediction. xD
Me as well. What I'm especially curious about, is how long does everything take? We've been told it takes roughly nine months to make a new fighter, right? But how long do negotiations usually take? How long does it take to simply make their model? How long to plan out what all their moves will be? How long to make a move? How long/what is the process of deciding their stats such as weight, airspeed, etc? At what points of development and how often would they meet with a company to show them what they've made so far on their character? Were there times a company requested a change and if so, what were the changes? We've been told echo fighters take far less work, but how long does it take to make one? How long do they spend playtesting the character? Do they playtest the character and all of their moves against all other characters and moves, or just some? These are all the questions I've had in the back of my mind when thinking about what goes into making a character.
From my perspective, weirder stuff has happened. Costumes were like the one thing I thought meant something. I didn't even find it overly fanruley to assume they'd wait to put the Tekken costume in Smash alongside John Tekken as a fighter. And then what do you know, John Tekken gets in.
I would imagine it would probably take a long time for the translator to accurately transcribe it to English much like with the Famitsu columns themselves though. Would be worth it anyways.
I like your spirit!
I... don't think that makes any sense, unless they could predict the future with 100% accuracy.
Master Chief is also a viable option, but still it's true that we do have 2 3rd parties from Japan and 2 Nintendo (well 3 since the official website counts Pyra and Mythra separately) reps.
Eponymous is a sick word by itself.
I've never played a Halo game, but I think Chief's popularity makes sense. Even I have known who the guy is for over a decade at this point, and imo he joins the likes of Mario, Sonic, Pikachu, and Steve as the absolute top faces of gaming. And while I'm not much of a fan of him since I've never played Halo and don't have much interest in doing so, I would 100% be for his inclusion in Smash because of what a sheer icon he is. I bet a lot of the Smash fanbase feels the same way.
Yeah, that pretty much sums up how I feel too. Chief isn’t one of my most wanted but he would still be a great addition for how huge Halo’s legacy is and he’s pretty cool as well.
Please be right
Banjo & Kazooie maybe. And the previously cut fighters like Wolf 100% won. But I would personally be shocked if King K. Rool or Ridley came anywhere close to winning that ballot. This close-knit Smash speculation scene is just a tiny portion of the amount of people who watched that Nintendo direct, went on the website that same afternoon to write about their favorite game, and then dipped until the DLC was actually released. Bayonetta 2 had come out that year, so there was recency bias.
Nah I'd rather have Klonoa instead. Klonoa has a ring that can shoot at enemies and make them fat. Imagine Klonoa grabbing every fighter in Smash and making them bloat out like balloons, that would be hella funny to see!
That would be cool. And don't worry, Yuri's capable of handling all the hate he would get if he was CP11
I mean, I don't think anyone was in the current discussion.
I disagree. The amount of people wanting Ridley and K. Rool was apparently enough for one to recieve an explanation on why they weren't added and for the other to recieve a Mii Costume.
Toad. The last major Mario character still not playable. A consistent character(via the race or himself) and even got another race member who mirrors his personality(Captain Toad), though they're still fairly distinct beyond the design.
On the contrary I would be shocked if K. Rool and Ridley were not among the top ten characters in the ballot. K. Rool was the one character that had the biggest support worldwide. Even Japan supported the character. As far as new Nintendo characters go, I'm pretty sure K. Rool was the true winner, supporting the idea is him being acknowledged by a Mii costume as DLC for the Wii U.
I don’t remember this part of DDLCThat would be cool. And don't worry, Yuri's capable of handling all the hate he would get if he was CP11
That's because it's a new to DDLC+I don’t remember this part of DDLC
I knew I should have clarified lol but I don't think that Nintendo actually combined votes for Dante and Bayonetta. I feel like Dante probably wasn't voted much at that time anyway because it was the pre-Cloud days, so people would mostly vote for characters with close ties to Nintendo. I just laid that out there as an example of the biases that Nintendo might have gone into the ballot with. My opinion of what they mean by "realizable" wasn't that they couldn't secure a deal with Sora because of Disney, but rather they had a few rules going in, and they would pick the most voted for character that fit those rules. Seems far more likely to me than a full-on conspiracy of Bayonetta being a thing before the ballot existed, that just kind of sounds reactionary.
