Our next newcomer is likely not going to be fast, then.

I've been hoping for one that's more mobile than others for a while, but mobility on pass characters seems to be a thing of the past.

I won't count out a fast character totally; Min Min had an electric attack after the tournament themed around that. But still, it's been a helpful guideline so far.

Well we also got the Hero vs. Villain and lightweight tourneys before Sephiroth showed up. The latter was not too distant beforehand. So I'm not sure if jumping to conclusions is the thing to do here.

Honestly you guys should just stop replying to him. If he have something meaningful to say he can feel free to join, but there's no point giving him more attention if we don't understand him and he doesn't understand us.

I know, but I still have to ask him this, as fruitless as it may be.

Truth the Ceomasterz33 Truth the Ceomasterz33 How is the Smash Brothers scene in Indonesia, or where you are from?

Well Joker is one of the highest mobility characters in the game and he isn't included in the top 16 run speeds.

Who knows maybe it's a character that barely scrapes under that, and even then that'd be pretty fast since it includes characters like Marth and Inkling.

The tourney rule only applied back when we knew there was a gap in tourneys with some missing which we speculated were because they included a future fighter, that fighter we now know was Steve. This isn't something to really be worried about until like before, the file names prove that some events were moved around due to delays.

Shadow is associated with Speed, just not as much as he's associated with Being Shadow's Dark reflection and Sonic's Rival (literally, but especially metaphorically), along with his Chaos powers

Now as for Sephiroth's Tourney, Yeah Shadow would have fit this, but I don't think it automatically suggest he's out. It was something that I needed to tell myself too, because it was something that was worrying

But I think with the fact that Sephiroth's tourney wasn't Villains or Rival Based (Since his connection to Cloud is also important) is something to keep in mind. I'm aware of the Heroes and Villains tourney, but perhaps something that's more specific toward the relationship of the rivals is something that could be added later. Like for example, Ryu and Ken are rivals, but they weren't in that Heroes and Villains tourney. so something like that

and the lightweight tourney is an example as for why I won't count out Shadow yet. But of course, it still worries me in the inside. But I won't give up unless there's something more "Direct"

You're worried the tournament might deconfirm your most wanted despite knowing it didn't happen for Sephiroth?

Sounds like you're a little paranoid right now. No offense.

Guys. I understand dealing with someone who doesn't speak English is hard, but still no reason to be rude.

Pretty sure we have other Indonesian members here too.

Besides wholly agreeing to this, yes I distinctly remember that there are others, although I can't recall their nicks. Besides, I've looked at the Switch's growth worldwide - I do not just talk about China, but also places like SEA and Indonesia in particular - I have this image to share:

gaming-content-vn-draft-4-02_dq1j.png


I resized the image so it wouldn't be too big, so I'll quote IGN:

The data is compiled based on the analysis of 1.5 million searches made across shopping sites across Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines and Hong Kong.

Again, this is just online searches, but it provides a pretty good overview on the region as a whole.

In addition, the hype for Animal Crossing: New Horizons that was released back in April likely increased interest for the console. The game is perfect for gamers both casual and hardcore and provides a great escape from just being stuck inside our houses.
Right before and after the launch of Animal Crossing: New Horizons which is around mid-March to mid-April, interest for the console surged up by 245% on shopping platforms around the region. The PS4 only managed a 135% increase in interest around the time.

However, all gaming consoles saw a 115% increase in searches in Southeast Asia during the lockdown period. Over in Vietnam, shopping sites saw the highest increase in console searches which is 432% more than the previous period. This is followed by Singapore at 241% interest and Thailand at 208%.
Vietnam’s huge interest in gaming consoles could be the fact that both internet and gaming cafes around the country had to be closed down. Gamers, who usually flock to these locations for gaming sessions, likely had to find an alternative to game from home, especially those who do not have stable internet connection. Consoles are the perfect solution as they come with many single-player titles that are both engaging and can be played from home.
With Covid-19 changing what people think is normal, it is possible that we may see these people continue to game on these consoles even after the lockdown has ended.

As far as I'm aware, Indonesia follows the general SEA trends where mobiles and computers are king (Garena Free Fire is very popular in the region at large), but consoles are quickly gaining a foothold in the region. In other words, the Switch is establishing itself in other regions, and it might result in new members increasingly coming from those regions.
