That seems like a good way to implement a character like Invoker. And I agree that Tornado would definitely be his recovery. For his normals, I imagined a mix of Marvel vs Capcom Dr. Strange and variants of his auto attack animation (Ranged Smash attacks perhaps). A major part of Invoker's playstyle involves chaining his spells into a catastrophic combo, but I figure it'd be his Final Smash.
Some guy on Reddit claims that Activision and Amazon had a fall off while doing a Crash cartoon, and that the entire industry of animation hates Activision now. People did not believe him so he linked to a 20 second extract of what was suposedly the pilot episode, though it's also dated april 1st, so even if the animation is convincing, the possibility of it being an elaborate troll is there, even if it's likely that he's not a troll in my opinion. This cause people to think that Activision are so bad to work with that Nintendo did not get the rights for Crash in Smash.
Nah. Crash does do well, but the general consensus is that we are very split. Nintendo seems to do well here, with the main conflict being between Sony and Microsoft (just like the USA). This is speaking as a Gen Z Brit. I never heard of Crash until around 2016 (and I knew who Spyro was because Skylanders). I don’t know what older people feel about Crash, but it seemed later on Mario and Sonic filled the void that Crash may have left.
Apparently there was a Crash Bandicoot cartoon being made for Amazon.
Edit: Making this more legible:
I'm sorry, but how the **** would they demand Mario? I'm pretty sure they'd have to have secured rights beforehand to do that, but this implies that they had yet to do so, which sounds like complete bull****
It sounds like a caricature of an over-demanding executive you would see in a film.
I don't want to stir up too big a generational argument here, but...I thought we already had PS1's biggest icon and the N64's biggest threat on the Smash roster?
Missing Amaterasu and Asura.There was a problem fetching the tweet
Random but cute picture featuring a lot of Capcom characters
Sales wise if ya count each crash game together it outsold FF as a whole on the PS1 I believe, which also helps. It also helps that Crash had a new game each year since 96. It meant Crash was always doing something in your face.My understanding is that in the 16 bit era Sega basically ran the table in a lot of Europe (especially Britain) with Sony then doing so in the 32 bit time period when the Saturn was struggling everywhere except Japan. Places like the UK had a lot of their early game focus with home computers (hence why they avoided the 1983 VG Crash), and never quite embraced Nintendo like North America did.
As far as Cloud being the PSX icon over Crash... well yes and no. The thing is the latter simply makes more sense as a comparative rival to Mario because of the shared genre. Platformers were still major and while the likes of Tomb Raider and FFVII showed the first cracks in its presence over the industry, it wouldn't really be until the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox era that its big hold was completely broken. Cloud and company were publicly significant mind you, its just that Crash also came first and also was a new IP that got big quickly, as opposed to VII which was still a continuation of a pre-existing franchise (albeit a breakaway one that changed the franchise's path forever). I mean there was a reason this was the type of magazine cover that was popular at the time:
In hindsight and with long term sales FFVII has obviously won out, but Crash's association as the the rival to Mario has endured in spite of the more complicated market situation it actually was. Its similar to how Mario vs. Sonic is seen as the major battle in the first half of the 90s, despite the fact that former was effectively replaced by the Kongs with major games for a while and that DKC and its sequels were the games acting as more direct sales competitors to Sonic.
Ammy's there. She's right in between Ryu and Mega Man
FF7 also helped bring RPGs more into the spotlight. They started to become more mainstream and appeared more and more on Sony consoles. If you wanted to play an RPG, PlayStation was the system for it even into its PS2 days (and the PS2 had a helluva long lifespan). Fans of the FF series as a whole will argue over whether FF7 is truly the best or overrated, but they can't deny that it was that game in particular that helped propel the series, and genre, as a whole into the mainstream (kind of like how Persona 5 thrust that series into the gaming public eye).
Thanks to Kingdom Hearts and the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, it was also hard to get away from Cloud and Sephiroth, to be fair.
Ah I see her now. Her being white made it hard to see her.
God damn, she just blends right in lol
Look if they can change Cloud's final smash, there's nothing about Giga Bowser that would need to change mechanically if they made it God-Slayer Bowser. Besides now it'd be something related to an actual Mario game.
The Treehouse Police have issued a warning: in English it's Fury Bowser, not God-Slayer Bowser.

It's kinda hard to justify that it's not really an important requirement for a game to be popular all over the world ("all over the world" in this case is America, Japan and Europe lol) it's kinda polarizing argument that ultimately always favor the bigger one. That argument is kinda already crumbling down because of DQ and KoF in Smash (one being popular in Japan and the other one popular South America) but that argument never going to stop being brought up to oppose everyone to take less risk and just point to the bigger picture.
Your source actually proves me wrong, but the point still stands.

THE CORTEZPOSTING HAS ALREADY SPREAD TO NINTENDO ITSELF
YOU...YOU...TimeSplitters is a series of first-person shooter video games developed by Free Radical Design. The games are often compared to GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark, shooters developed by Rare, due to overlaps in gameplay, design, and development team. Each game features a time travelling element in which players battle across a diverse number of locations and periods in history.
He's Cortez. She's Cortez. You're Cortez. I AM CORTEZ!
Cat Cortez: meow
I expect it to be on Pokemon Day, which means that Gen 9 is indeed coming this year.
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Well, it would upset people who wanted Sinnoh remakes, but Gen 9 might be far more advanced than Gen 8. I believe that these games won't have traditional routes anymore, with the Wild Area concept taking their place.
Makes sense, and further suggests that we're in the cycle of week to week news. I'd assume a Partner Showcase and another Twitter drop this month with next month having the Pokemon Presentation, another Partner Showcase, and a possible Indie Direct.
New mainline entry over a remake? Seems a bit odd that TPC wouldn't wanna milk their precious Galar anymore but I mean I'll take it. I wanna move on from 8.
To be fair, I could definitely see an out-of-touch corporate executive saying "The Simpsons and Family Guy had a Mario cameo without getting the rights. Surely you guys could do it.", failing to understand the clear differences between those examples and their demands.
