Uh... same for you?
Exactly. This is correct.
I don't think it was? Wikipedia lists SMT4 being published by Atlus/Atlus USA in Japan and US, and Deep Silver for PAL regions.
ohhh boy, where’s my doomguy then since Nintendo is promoting doom heavily or where’s my Pokémon reps or where’s my sonic forces rep or where’s my sonic colours rep since all these games are getting heavily promoted and are high budget games.
Exactly. As people have being saying since Ultimate was released, getting a game on the Switch /= getting into Smash.
Ehhhhh, Pokemon games are never big budget, Forces was a budget title seeing as it wasn't even sold for 60 bucks and they scrapped the paid DLC after massive backlash while Colours is merely a port, it doesn't actually counter the argument
Probably unintentional, but this got a chuckle out of me.
It's why I'm looking at characters like Phoenix Wright and Fulgore from KI as an unexpected darkhorse pick for example when it comes to who FP11 might be. Smash Bros DLC typically ended with noteworthy characters but not genre defining like Crash Bandicoot or Master Chief or ones meant to be pass sellers.
That doesn't really have anything to do with their points not to mention Wright actually does count as genre defining as he's the first thing most people think of when they hear visual novels, certainly bigger for the respective genre than say, Crash
I was trying to say that the people who are thinking that FP11's a guaranteed shill pick when in reality that seems unlikely, and none of the fighters introduced in DLC went past 2019 as far as game releases go. It's why I'm looking at characters that had games in their respective franchises prior to 2017, and Ace Attorney and KI fit the bill along with others that fit the development timeline like Puyo Puyo's Arle, Phantasy Star, and Soul Calibur amongst others. Just because a game is on the Switch is no guarantee for inclusion
people are forgetting that Nintendo doesn’t necessarily look at who’s more popular. They look at who offers more value in terms of uniqueness. One of the first things sakurai said when pass 1 was announced was that each character would bring something unique to the table in terms of move set which makes it clear that sakurai’s and Nintendo’s goals aren’t picking who’s more popular, it’s more of who’s more unique.
Pyra and Mythra isn't a good example. Rex was going to already be part of the moveset. It just didn't work out due to technical limitations.
there’s that but then you gotta look at it this way. They could’ve just done Rex and didn’t need to add pyra and mythra but sakurai thought the pyra and mythra swapping was a better mechanic than Rex on his own.
First of all, none of those games fit the timing for fighter pass 2, whereas SMT V more than fits the timing(despite your earlier post, which makes this post incredibly hypocritical on your part).
dr eggman, metal sonic, classic sonic that’s options right there who are big to the series and aren’t mii costumed or AT’d.
These aren't really what I'm even talking about, though.
To be fair, that guessing game was more for Nintendo. Sakurai may have never looked at Spring Man again or had dismissed him when brought up again due to his role. We at best can determine Nintendo doesn't care about those in-game roles. Sakurai we can't say for sure. I mean, I don't think he would say no if he was asked to use Spring Man either, but we lack details to determine that. All we know so far is that Min Min was the only actual choice ever brought up(and Sakurai said he would've liked Ninjara too otherwise), and the guessing game was an advertisement to help push ARMS, one that was, again, for Nintendo's sake. Nintendo even listing an AT in this case is still good news, since that mans they don't consider an AT to matter in their selections. Albeit, with the context known, Yabuki chose the character, not Sakurai, either way. And with Sakurai's statements, it's clear that Nintendo had told Sakurai to use Min Min due to Yabuki choosing the character overall. In all these scenarios, there's no straight evidence that Sakurai considers AT's to not matter.
Tails, Knuckles and even Shadow are all more likely than Dr Eggman, Dr Eggman is a pure bandwagon pick.
I can't believe CP11 is Nei Phantasy Star
googles dark orchid
Dragalia Lost has a Shadow element. Shadow's color is purple. Euden recently got an alt that was of the Shadow element. He's in.
Stick Nahobino into that color background and tell me it doesn’t work.
…why?
Because he isn’t a fighter, he fights with robots or mechs or vehicles(like Megaman’s main enemy).
Ah, so thats why Bowser Jr isn’t a fighter yet.
nahobino’s would be blue, not purple so he probably wouldn’t fit this. That’s assuming the last background for the last character is purple which we have no concrete proof anyways. I wouldn’t even take this seriously. It’s just a theory from what I understand of the original source.
Yo imagine if the Koopalings were Bowser Jr.'s alts
The only scenarios I can see that is if they either:
breaks the normal conventions so hard that they have to beta-test and finetune CP11's strengths and weaknesses for a long time. And if this happens, chances are the character has polarized strengths and weaknesses like Min Min (or hell, any ARMS character - had Ninjara been chosen he'd also be as convention-breaking). Not only was the initial ARMS announcement accompanied with the "We'll have to extend the development time" message, Sakurai did note in Min Min's Presents that "Integrating ARMS into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was a very difficult thing to do", which is fair when no other character has access to Dhalsim-esque range. And really, the only way I could see COVID impacting development is if that delayed the groundwork for Min Min / Steve / Sephiroth. Which feels a bit fishy since Steve and Sephiroth released on a steady schedule despite being complex characters that instantly followed another really complex character (Min Min).Purple?
Well, after searching this webpage https://cdn.treasuredata.com/sdk/1.9.2/td.min.js , I can confirm that darkorchid is in the code for that website. It does basically confirm that purple will be the last background color for our last fighter
