Especially since that mini-game is a once per save thing, so unless a player has the foresight of quitting before it ends every single time, only way to get access to it is to start a new campaign from scratch.
I get mildly peeved its representation in Smash is relegated to PNGs I will never use while its spin-off literally just gets more popular from its fighter inclusion even if I really like both. I'll take a Mii though.
Solution: a Master Hand mode unlockable after beating WoL, kinda like UMvC3’s Galactus Mode
Master Hand having his own Classic Mode like Galactus having his own Arcade mode would be amazing.
Still makes it pretty scummy though (in fact, the fact that it's once per save file makes it worse). Not saying they wouldn't do it, I just don't like the idea on principal.
I would honestly be curious on how they can make a balanced Master Hand moveset.
Now I'm with you there. Master Hand and Crazy Hand have some pretty freaking creative attacks as bosses, so I can imagine it would be pretty amazing given the thought process of making a full character.
I mean. That's the most likely outcome for SMTV or SMT in general. Not only for SMT to be honest but for all fighters when we only have 1 fighter left, except for Sora I guess because I doubt Nintendo would approach Disney for just a few spirits lol
The WoL minigame thing is just a poor design choice on its own, I really don’t think that would make a playable Master Hand “scummy.” Especially since the characters for FP2 were decided long after the base game was finished. No debating that the base game made some questionable choices, but them adding Smash’s iconic baddie as the final character would be a huge bone throne to smash fans, hard to call that scummy. And he’d obviously have to be mechanically different from the minigame to work as a balanced character anyway.
It's not like it's any worse than it was 8 or so years ago. Dark Dawn attention died down pretty quick, but now there's a 20th Anniversary coming up, along with the GS community doing Golden Sunday events a few times a year.
Just make him playable in the new All-Star Mode. That's a mode update, not an actual new mode. And we did get mode updates after he said "no new modes".
Eh, I still can't view properly adding a character that's technically already playable in any other light.
It's still better than them doing nothing about it, honestly.
And that's fine. I'm just not thrilled at the prospect of them selling the solution to a problem they created like that. I'd much prefer it be a free update, base roster in a future game, or DLC in a future game where the character isn't already playable to some extent already.
To answer your question. Fatal Frame is co owned by Nintendo with Koei Tecmo.
Ah so it's fird party.
I saw that the Fatal frame Switch port will also be on ps4, Xbox and Steam. Does that mean Koei now fully own the ip now? Or Nintendo just let them release the game on other platform?
Might wanna check the copyrights once it comes out, just in case. That's what we did with The Wonderful 101.
No idea there. Maybe? Its possible that Koie has more power over the series since it was theirs to begin with. Still, suprised the seires got an assist trophy.
Are you asking because of the steam deck or for character potential evaluation for smash?
Well, now I want to just to see you eat that hat
Start eating, FOOL.Well, time to get this off my chest. Full-on tinfoil hat time for me.
If any of you jerks takes this seriously, I'm going to eat the biggest hat I've got.As the DLC cycle for Ultimate comes to a close, I’ve noticed some very tongue-in-cheek things added despite the ever-present threat of government-mandated censors and angry parents who can’t be bothered to keep a watchful eye on their kids. With all of these factors taken into consideration, I figure it’s time I throw in my own personal candidate for who Challenger #11 could potentially be…
Senran Kagura's Asuka!
![]()
Frankly, I've fallen in love with this franchise over the past two years; It's predominantly a series of hack 'n' slash games with a wide array of playable characters, customization options, and an incredible story that intertwines each mainline game beautifully with one another. Asuka herself could provide an extremely unique playstyle unlike any other character already in Smash, thanks to her earth-based powers, lighting-fast attacks, and dual-wielding of swords.![]()
Asuka is a second-year student at Hanzou National Academy, a school in Japan that raises Good Shinobi for the purpose of battling dangerous demons known as Youma. She's widely hailed as the main protagonist of the series, and as a result, usually gets the most screentime whenever the game focuses on her team. While she has a good heart and is willing to befriend whoever she comes across, this naivety has nearly costed her life many times over. Nevertheless, this optimism has won many of her old enemies over to her side, with only a single man attracting her pure hatred.![]()
Senran Kagura is one a franchise owned by Marvelous not yet represented in Smash Bros. (the company has spirits from Daemon X Machina and Sakuna: of Rice and Ruin on the Spirit Board, and Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes is available as a Mii Swordfighter costume). While this was initially thought to be a sign that companies who receive such content could no longer receive a fighter of any sort, Kazuya had proved otherwise, as a Mii Brawler outfit from his home series was added a year prior, leaving him out of the running until he was actually added. In addition, I mentioned in the beginning of this pointless piece that the devs have been adding in some very small but cheeky things, such as the jiggle physics of Pyra/Mythra and the Shantae Mii Brawler outfit being possibly the skimpiest Mii costume yet, albeit with a few sacrifices made to maintain the game's age rating. As an added bonus, the franchise got its start on the 3DS, so it has quite a place in Nintendo's history.![]()
At this point, I'm not even gonna bother to pretend to ignore the elephant in the room; Senran Kagura is a franchise that prides itself on its lewd content, which is the single biggest hurdle that Asuka faces. She's one of the more conservatively dressed characters, sure, but she's just as prone to ecchi shenanigans as almost everybody in her home franchise. On top of that, she has competition not only with several popular video game characters, but with other Marvelous franchises (Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons in particular), and even with a character in her own series, who just so happens to be the most popular in Japan. Adding onto that, she's also what many Smash fans would consider an archetypical "Anime Swordfighter," so she'd receive backlash for that the moment she's shown in gameplay.![]()
In her home series, Asuka is usually the first character you play as. As mentioned earlier, she dual-wields a pair of wakizashi swords, attacking her opponents with lightning fast, alternating slashes, which should allow her to rack up extensive combos. She's also got a small arsenal beyond that, such as shuriken and kunai for rapidly attacking opponents from a distance, to the ability to chase after any opponent she launches, as well as the ability to break out of a combo at the expense of her own health. These factors and more can easily set her apart from any other fighter currently in Smash.![]()
Senran Kagura has a bounty of areas to do combat in, from the sun-baked shores of an island resort to the smoldering ruins of Kyoto. But in my eyes, the most likely area in the game to become a stage is Hebijo Clandestine Girls' Academy, where evil shinobi are trained to the extent of their abilities. There are several areas on the academy grounds that could prove to be fun and unique for different battles, with too many little gimmicks for me to list off here alone.Senran Kagura's music is an extremely catchy mix of traditional Japanese instrumentation, hard rock, and orchestra, all of which combine to provide absolute candy to the ears, and would provide a bounty of variety in Ultimate's already variable soundtrack. The main theme of the first game, Chaos in Bloom, sounds perfect for one final battle between two rivals, which is something it actually has played over in the main games. Here, have a listen for yourself!
I know it's a nigh impossibility, I've made peace with the fact, but still, it's a ton of fun to think about characters I like joining Smash Bros. It's that way for any fan of the game. I'm just showing off a little love for a character that I'd like to see make the roster in the future, and I'm happy that I could have at least shown off my ideas. I haven't the slightest idea who could be next, and I'm gonna be happy with whoever it is, but if I wind up wrong and Asuka makes it in my some stroke of fate...
Well, you can at least expect me to be over the moon.
I don't know about popularity in general, but I remember a Sakurai interview where he talked a bit about Half-Life 2. There was also a Half-Life 2 arcade game in Japan where you used a trackball. Not sure how well that did though.
At the very least, a ballot pick can fit the second chance theme pretty easily. Maybe a lower priority ballot pick that they scrapped down the line.
As far as I'm concerned, Porky isn't in the game, but the Absolutely Safe Capsule is. If Samus wasn't playable and all we got was the Gunship as a spirit, would you say that the Gunship spirit is meant to represent Samus just because she's presumed to be inside it because it's somehow the logical choice? Or would you just say it as an excuse to take out some competition for [insert your most wanted here]?
I don't think Smash has sold out. I almost wish it would sell out more, and add more hugely popular characters- because no matter what, I will likely always see Smash as a video game hall of fame, and perhaps the only time in my lifetime where I can see so many icons on one screen.
I wouldn't take it out I think. I would consider as much characters as possible. At least Samus didn't lock herself in the gunship for eternity.As far as I'm concerned, Porky isn't in the game, but the Absolutely Safe Capsule is.

I wouldn't worry about naysayers and semantics and all that, just ride it out and hope for the best.
Isaac apparently has Schrodinger's hype. he is simultaneously hype and not hype at once.
If you ask me, the proper way to do a Porky spirit would be an enhanceable one that goes from his regular clay model to his spider-form or his Mother 3 look.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean here- I'm assuming that you meant Tekken is the best-selling fighting franchise not named Smash....
This is a somewhat unfair comment. Young Link would have likely received a lot of backlash, since we had Toon Link. Pichu was given the trash mechanic by being the joke character.
I am REALLY into the idea of a DX Cut being called 'Ultimate Encore.'
I absolutely do not want the Hands to be playable as characters.
I'm curious- why are you bitter about Pythra?
Or, perhaps, Spirits have nothing to do with disconfirming characters- just as almost everything else that 'disconfirms a character' is nonsense.
