Ehhhhhhhh I get your point but the abandoned factory features many iconic and memorable moments in the game, including stuff you have yet to see in your playthrough. Though the amusement park would certainly be my second choice for a stage if the factory wasn't possible
Tons is an understatement.
Wasn’t MonHun always supposed to be a Boss and Assist and nothing else? I haven’t heard of any scrapped plans for it.
There's nothing that's said that one way or another.
Well, maybe the plans were never scrapped (because they never extended past what we got), but they can still revisit the franchise and do things with it they didn't do the first time around.
Unlike most of the other cameos though, I don't know why most of them would be sitting in the background happily watching the match. I hardly think the monsters are capable of common human courtesy.
Probably a few fly-overs, a couple perching atop mountains, maybe some running along plains, surfacing from a body of water, and hell, fighting.
They could be the hazard, turning the match into an impromptu Hunt. In Hazardless or Omega/Battlefield they can be resting in the background instead.
I can see it now: Next month they announce a Binding Blade remake with Lyn getting a side story that tells what she was up to before the events of Roy's story. It releases right before the last character slot, thus being perfect for an advertisement and giving Lyn the Trojan Horse she needed to finally gets the promotion she desires.Based on past precedent it'll be a Fire Emblem character.
This is how Lyn wins.
If we get a stage, I'm pretty confident one of them would be the Deviljho, I don't think the Smash team would miss the opportunity to have that evil pickle come in and ruin some matches in the same way he ruins hunts by carting unknowing Hunters.
I think the difference here though is Monster Hunter content DID end up in the game. It’s kinda like when people say “omg what if they add Decidueye since Sakurai considered adding him?” Like no, a Gen 7 Pokémon still ended up making it, it just wasn’t Decidueye. There’s not really any “loose ends” that need to be tied up as there were with the other characters. Not to say it couldn’t happen, it’s just not really the same circumstances
XB2, Arms and FF7 content also all ended up in the game. But not to the extent of a full playable character for some, and not for substantial supporting content for FF7. Minecraft is the only game from Pass 2 to completely debut in that pass.
10 villains I want in Smash (in alphabetic order):
Birdo Ganon Kamek Marx Medusa Porky Skull Kid Team Rocket (Meowth, Ekans, Koffing) Vaati Waluigi
Yes but their content were more like bones thrown as consolation prizes for missing base game. Rathalos on the other hand was a boss character on top of being an assist trophy. Arms and XC2 are Nintendo IP that would’ve been shoe-ins if their timing had lined up better. Monster Hunter is a 3rd party franchise that’s been around forever. It’s inclusion wasn’t a bone thrown as a consolation prize. Like I said, not the same circumstance whatsoever
I like how the one you actually care about is dismissed for Nintendo not giving a damn in the exact same post you talk about a game Nintendo doesn't care enough about to let it come out in the EU
It is a great argument. However it could all just come down to the Monster Hunter devs just wanting the Monsters to represent the series rather than anything else
Nintendo needs to bring Stanley back. Put him in Mario spin-off games like they did for Pauline.
Isn't that due to gacha laws and ****?
Might I ask why? I like to hear your reasoning
I'd only say it's half weird
everything points to a hunter being considered or even planned if you think the internal music stuff means something for the base game. and there's also imran khan outright saying it too. the question at this point is if sakurai is willing to revisit the idea. which he should. the whole "monsters represent monster hunter well enough" stuff is dumb. its called monster HUNTER for ****s sake. plus we need a stage and music too.
I mean, the thing is, we have a Monster Hunter locale in as a stage, the Ancestral Steppe, it's just not actually a stage one can select. If they only wanted Rathalos to represent the game, then they could have done what they did with Galleom and given us "Vaguely Monster Hunter zone but not really" as a stage, but we got a Monster Hunter area.
The Imran quote means nothing. One, there's no way Byleth would've been selected in advance two-to-four years before Three Houses even released. Two, Imran straight-up said "This might not be true, don't trust me on this." If the leaker himself says to not trust him, chances are the rumor's bull.
They’re both DLC Costumes though. Since Pyra and Mythra were chosen over the more obvious Rex and Pyra, it seems like the slot would go to Eggman if anyone.
Yeah but if Nintendo really felt Dragalia was important enough to bring to the EU they'd make a different version that complies to those laws like how Pokemon Platinum needed to get changed to be brought to the EU due to gambling laws, which explains why stores sold US copies here in the Netherlands, only ever saw Platinum copies with the ESRB logo. But because Dragalia was only ever meant to be a way to squeeze money out of potentially vulnerable people, they never cared enough to make a version that doesn't do exactly that.
i buy the hunter being considered for smash because there's some potential evidence for it but i dont really buy the "byleth is a salvaged monster hunter" bit. but yeah you are right in that the quote doesnt mean much. theres far more going for the hunter anyway.
I mean, the Metal Gears in the Shadow Moses Island stage don't do anything to the fighters. We could possibly have non-hostile monsters roaming the stage and the occasional carnivore fly in to eat a few or maybe even have two of them have a turf war in the background occasionally.
That's gacha games for ya.
Idk judging by the presentation this week Sakurai feels comfortable adding a gacha character
I never even thought of that. It’d actually be a pretty good way to make Echos at least somewhat different from their counterparts.
I just wish they'd GIVE some of those old custom moves TO the Echoes.
megaman was given the best treatment for custom moves in ssb4 its sad that it was gone i was hoping that maybe it can be given to Protoman in this game since the custom moves are not here anymore
