i still don't understand what they're promo-ing exactly. Playing old Banjo games on the Xbox? Ok. I didn't see any of that for Steve though. They didn't say you can play Minecraft on Xbox or anything. I guess Steve speaks for himself.
Impossible!
then what is the biggest mystery of smash?
Pra Mai for starters as there's no real answer to that
I don't think that's helping your argument, considering a cultural phenomenon is by definition a bandwagon effect. I agree he certainly has that, but lets not pretend he means more to gamers than any other character that's not on the roster yet.
ah sorry. i thought it was the biggest mysteries in smash ultimate
Maybe it's a joke since the other file names were obvious? Idk Japanese tho... Or if pra and Mai either are acronyms, abbreviations etc
So, how many popular western picks have we gotten in ultimate (that at the same time arent that popular in Japan)?
Basically, while it's similar to Plusle and Minun's Japanese names, those aren't actually written that way in the same context as the other set of Japanese Pokemon names.
Actually, they do have a trophy in Brawl. In what might be considered to be the same vein as Ivysaur and Squirtle who have a trophy in Smash 4.
Why us grown adults are arguing on the internet over this.
none. The only western picks we’ve gotten in ultimates dlc are banjo and Steve which are both popular in Japan and the west
They have a trophy ... I'd totally dig playing as them actually and with the new Pokemon moba (edited for fat thumbs) I think I'm almost 50%, positive the last character is a Pokemon.
Just Banjo & Kazooie if you compare them to other characters and even then it's a bit of stretch since they still had a decent following in Japan.
It's Komurasaki. She's a Youkai who the protagonist meets and then she disappears for the entire game, maybe. Here's a video of the game if you're interested. She appears at 16:35.
. while working! It's the best kind of slackery.
I want to know what the trophy's file name is. Albeit, the same with the way the other Pokemon trophies are named. Could make for interesting results.
Yeah, makes sense. If we are talking base game, I think the closest we would have as a true western pick would probably be Ridley. (Mostly based on the fact that metroid is bigger on the west) though I think he also had a japanese following.
arguing over what?? It's harmless discussion and it's related to smash. You have taken my statement out of context
If Sakurai was in charge of the DLC picks like he was for the base game then Rayman and Waluigi might have had a chance. With Nintendo, I think for all they care believe that both what Japan and the West want are no different from each other which to be fair isn't that far from the truth.
once again as Ive said and others have said DLC doesnt equal base game addition.
wym ? being a cultural phenomenon and people bandwagoning on is just proof of waluigi's sheer popularity and mass appeal
Ridley, and also by extension Dark Samus
I never heard Doug Bowser's statement, but I don't think Reggie fuming at the "why does Nintendo hate Waluigi" question really backs up the argument.
reggie literally said "sakurai is aware of his support"
Must have been a different statement or something.
Well yes but if it's negligible that's going to be a hindrance more than a boon.
Like I always say: every video game character has at least one person who unironically wants them in Smash. Even the bad ones.
Correct me if I misunderstood but by “negligible” do you refer to a character that overall lacks an adequate following or fan base?
I think he'd be a gunner due to the status of Halo as one of the most iconic shooters in the genre.
He would be:
They aren't going to care about AT's in itself. Why would they? It has zip to do with business. Sakurai, sure, he might. And he could deny it based upon that. But that's as far it would realistically go. Money is the point behind it. Also opening up good will with other companies. Yet they still go with 1st party characters anyway. In what way would an AT be relevant to their decisions? It's just an NPC role to them. No different from what Spirits are in this context. ...Of which three got a playable version(not literally promoted, as the old ones are there). The only slight difference is they were from, what, new games? It's not like Waluigi isn't in a new game right now. The thing is? If Waluigi isn't chosen it'd be because Nintendo already had someone else in mind before he was suggested, Sakurai didn't want to give an AT a separate playable role, or Sakurai couldn't think of a good way to represent the character properly as a moveset. All of these fit within the realistic scenarios. Nintendo caring about AT's is not the case. In fact, most people don't care if an AT is playable in the same game among players. Only a vocal minority is against it at best. To say the least, Nintendo isn't going to listen to them either way. They would rather listen to the far bigger amount of people who want him playable, and they know this is the case too. And that's even assuming they heard any people say "No AT upgrades! It's a bad idea!" basically(that's not some call-out to anyone. That's just a generic way to say the point).
Probably Gunner.
Mario spin-offs are where Waluigi is playable, so where else would you go? Same goes for the vast majority of other available Mario characters, too, since they don't have their own games either. Captain Toad being a notable exception, I suppose.

Leaning towards Gunner. In addition to what's been previously said: a kinda consistent criteria for Mii costumes have been if the characters are primarily associated with a certain weapon. Of course, this is no hard fast rule per se, but it's still a noticeable trend overall when looking at the entire list of costumes.
I dunno but they seem to regardless.
Most likely it'll be as a gunner.
