We're getting bored, and haven't yet gotten disinterested enough in Smash speculation to take a hiatus.
Well, as long as it's not a third starter in a row (even with my interest in Pokemon revitalized) or a fourth Fire Emblem lord in a row (and maybe cut one or maybe even three of the FE protags), that'd be fine with me (well, especially the Pokemon part, since it isn't being milked as much as FE).
I mean, I can see his mouth throwing people off...
To be honest I don't even know why I still go to this thread in the first place.
Yeah but Wii Fit was an actual game.Kinda but I do see some who compare her in a similar situation to
Vocaloid is mostly seen as video game franchise than anything else
There's actually a good reason they scrapped trophies: Creating new 3D models takes a lot of time and resources, including for something that's only for show. With that said, I do think they should have had spirits have descriptions like trophies did (that, and a zoom function, since seeing some of the details can be hard to do without squinting and putting my face close to the screen; then again, it's probably because I play the Switch without a TV).
Maybe people don't like certain character additions? Maybe people wish certain characters made it in? Maybe people wish certain things got more representation or any representation at all?
Just look at this magnificent roster. How can one even complain about it?
Yeah, for some reason I'd like for Sakurai to not work on the next Smash game immediately after Ultimate or after completing one non-Smash game.

do you think we could see a Marvelous character in a future Smash too? Like another early negotiation type deal?
There is also Koei Tecmo and the Fatal frame assist.Oh right
I remembered ArcSys isn’t the only new company with content that excludes a playable character - Marvelous too (DXM and Sukuna spirit events, the NMH Mii and spirit event if you count Grasshopper Manufacture as part of them)
Someone on the Banjo & Kazooie thread did that once where they drew all of the supporters reacting to the Banjo & Kazooie render. It was a really cool way of celebrating and it'd be awesome to see that again.
Marvelous owns the NMH trademark and certainly owns the character, in the same sense that Bayonetta is technically a Sega character. So if there's a Marvelous character, it will almost definitely be Travis.Oh right

As much of a bad person he is, his music did go down in history. Im not gonna go about the way others are saying "about time" because i aint about that life. Lets just hope whoever takes over with music does a good job
Really, really late on this, but still:
(a character whose Smash 4 reception wasn't amazing to begin with AFAIK) and leaning further into a playstyle that's not the most popular. like Villager is kinda overshadowed on many fronts. Your average Joe / Jane might try those two out*, but there's quite a few characters in their vein that may be easier to pick up and give more "reward" so to speak. Isabelle also has some moves that aren't exactly straightforward like Jab and Lloid Trap. Even within their general archetype one could argue that and are easier to get a grip of. They have a casual playerbase, but I dunno if it's large. In more serious business contexts the two - particularily Isabelle - are mostly harmed by the universal changes promoting faster gameplay and other zoners like got buffed more than they did. That's not to say she's ineffective (there's a case to be made that she might be underrated because she's incredibly rare), but Isabelle in particular has not seen much screen time or success here. She's more well-rounded than Villager, but Villager's greater endurance, her really short Smash attacks and the counterplay to her Specials have harmed her perception. Then again, she's gotten a number of impactful buffs, so I think she's not many buffs away from potentially shedding that indifference.That kinda surprised me too. Might just be that they weren't prioritized as Spirits a la DQ's /3H's / ARMS' respecive antagonists: their appearances on the Dive to the Heart segments do show that they're fair game too.
It is absolutely going to be rough whenever Smash 6 comes around - while I personally believe they can get up to 60 characters (assuming Smash 6's development staff is relatively large) that'd still imply 15-20 characters cut. Which would still get ugly pretty fast.
Likely the same reason there's no vocal Bayonetta tracks (IIRC) etc.
Well, copyright has been quite a ***** when dealing with Square; though we did get at least one SE song with lyrics.
The vocal tracks are performed by Utada Hikaru, a big name Japanese singer. There’s probably rights issues involved there
That's a shame, but Disney is a big company too and Nintendo pulled it off, must be more of a budget concern
Yeah, I much prefer getting 1500+ Spirits to getting 500+ Trophies.
I'd legit be fine if base game only added the requisite Pokemon rep, a Mii Mage and a bunch of Echoes if it meant getting everyone back again.
Way I see it, it we look at all culture and works of art, many of the most famous pieces will have come from unsavory places. Even da vinci's family had slaves. We do at some point have to seperate the art from the artist because we would have nothing historical left. LBGTQ has only really been accepted culturally in western parts of the world for about 20-30 years (shorter maybe) It is not unreasonable to beleive anyone from before 1900 were in some form very politically incorrect in different aspects. World was very different when he was a kid and many people are not able to change. we are seeing that in the USA right now with the boomers. pretty sure everyone that is young in this thread will also end up that way. it is what happens when the brain starts dying from age.
Also doesn't help that the flashy gimmicks that could draw casuals have been far better implemented in 3rd parties than 1st parties. Even back in 4, I'd say Ryu's command inputs, Cloud's Limit Break and Bayo's Witch Time were not only matching with their gameplay, but were also fairly interesting in their own right.Really, really late on this, but still:
I really feel that the post-release reception played a major part with the indifference. She did have the unfortunate position of being based off
Also worth noting is that
*I'm saying this with a small asterisk attached since I'm not entirely sure how well-recieved either Villager in 4 or Isabelle in Ultimate were with more casual Smash players. It's entirely possible that those who really like AC are Villager / Isabelle's main casual fanbase in Smash, just as I kinda assume they form their competitive core.
Ehhhh Little Mac's gameplan is SUPER appealing to casuals, they don't understand how important being airborne is so they just throw out beefy armoured smash attacks, hell, when I played Smash 4 it seemed like everyone had a pocket Mac for ****s and giggles

tbh Sakurai is a guy who kinda likes to undersell himself when making his games, iirc he said something about how he thought Brawl's roster was as big/good as it was gonna get.
Yo. you said Goemon and you get mad respect. Konami needs to make their own platform fighter at this point. Bill, Pyramid Head, Bomberman, Goemon, Frogger and all the others need to be in a platform fighter.
THANK YOUIf it makes anyone feel better, Sakurai didn't exactly 100% rule out "Everyone is here" happening again. From his "Smash is Special" Famitsu column:
“Smash is Special” COMPLETE Translation
Sakurai’s FULL remarks on him returning to work on Smash, initial project plan and why the series is so ‘special’.

Oh, definitely. It's incredibly fun to land smash attacks as Mac. In fact, it's perhaps the only fun part of his gameplay.
Yeah but I'd like to see improvements to the game if they are ever gonna port it to Switch 2, like fixing the entire online system (besides netcode, adding leaderboards, getting rid of the GSP system thing allowing us to change characters between matches). Also, more modes, Smash run is stuck in the 3ds game, finally bring break the targets and board the platforms back, boss rush that isn't exclusive to one character, etc. And making changes to the Spirits to resemble the trophies more (basic stuff like adding text detailing their origin).
