I'd really hope we get quite a bit more than just one song. Though speaking of Wir fliegen, I honestly kinda hope that the song gets a remix. . . that's sung by someone who can actually speak German, and doesn't produce a nice-sounding garbled mess that is only recognizable as German when you have the lyrics next to you.
To be clear, I'm not one of the super hardcore been around for a decade supporters of Geno, having only played and beaten SMRPG a couple of months ago, but I'll try my best to describe the general reasons I've observed why Geno, Isaac and Banjo have such absurdly dedicated followings.
This really put it into good perspective for me and makes a lot of sense! Thank you for explaining and I hope that one day you get your characters back
This is a perfect summation. I'm not one of the Geno supporters, but I realized especially recently that the Elma supporters, Geno supporters, Dee supporters...all of us who are hopeful for DLC are in the same boat and so many of us want to see others succeed as much as we want to succeed. The Geno thread is especially really nice. We all want Nintendo to extend some acknowledgement and for our faves to take their places in the annals of history. So many of us have faced similar struggles with haters - X being the red-headed stepchild of the Xenoblade series, Bandana Dee being a "Hat Goomba", Isaac, Banjo, and Geno being "irrelevant"...it's all the same song. The most fun I've had in the Smash fandom is just...supporting each other. It's been nice to see Elma even acknowledged in the same breath as popular characters like Bandana Dee or Banjo and it's because this time I feel like we are stronger together.
I hope that's a hint that she'l be in, and she posted it specifically today, and Sakurai also confirmed that all DLC has been decided today, it all seems really suspicious.
I don't think this means anything... Nintendo should be aware that Caitlin Glass is the previous voice of Elma, especially considering she already returned to voice Elma in Xenoblade 2. It's much more likely it's for an anime character who's never had an English voice before. Caitlin does more anime voice-overs than videogame voice-overs so it would be easier to slip up like this.
The word "now" makes me a little nervous. Sakurai makes it sound like the characters for DLC were chosen more recently than we were initially thinking. This may or may not matter much when it comes to Elma's chances. If Nintendo is smart and realizes how incredible Monolith Soft is, maybe they will fund a port of Xenoblade X to coincide with an "Elma in Smash" reveal. Adding Rex/Pyra at this point wouldn't do much in terms of sales; they've already advertised Xenoblade 2 tons and those characters (unlike Elma) have no real chance of being a major focus in future Xenoblade games.
Why would there be an audition for it though? Wouldn't they just call her straight up and ask her to voice the character?
I still think Rex was deconfirmed. There's no reason really to put multiple Mii Costumes and music from Xenoblade 2 into Smash now if they were going to put in a character, stage and music later.
There's a lapse of time between those two things happening, though. Putting in XB2 content -then- does not prevent Sakurai from deciding to include Rex -today- if they only just decided on the DLC characters. Sakurai's comments were about the base game as we know now they didn't decide DLC that far in advance. And let's be honest, the guy has huge biases and he gushes over XB2. He wanted to make sure there was XB2 content before DLC started and now that DLC started he's just going to cram more in.
It's difficult to say. Like I was saying before, if Nintendo wants to make money, Elma would be a better option than more minor characters from a series that already have plenty of representation (Bandana Dee).
I hate to be that person, but as far as modern Kirby is concerned, it is HIGHLY underrepresented.
Bandana Dee's actually a highly requested character, especially in Japan. Don't count him out just yet.
Ehh. Don't be too quick to say that buddy. Bandana Dee is literally the most wanted newcomer in Japan next to Rex and Pyra. Not to mention a good chunk of people want him in the U.S/Europe. If we're going solely based on popularity, Bandana Dee has it over Elma.
This is my dream scenario. My top 2 in as DLC!
The Kirby series has 3 characters, 5 stages, and lots of music. Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Pokemon, and Fire Emblem are the only series with more representation. And my main point was, I doubt adding Bandana Dee will sell Kirby games more than Kirby, Meta Knight, and King DeDeDe already being in the game will. Elma + a Mira stage + Sawano music could introduce hundreds of thousands of people to the Xenoblade X series and give a great first impression.
I know that, but rumors suggest at least 3 of the 5 DLC characters are from 3rd parties. I'm not trying to attack Bandana Dee or anything, I'm just using him as an example because he's the most talked about 1st party DLC character right now.
you guys do the same hehe - at first I think they would start out as rivals/snake would flirt with Elma so so so much and Elma would just brush it off or like knock him out. But then maybe gets a little bit of a crush on him but NEVER lets him know and continues to just be superior. Hehe;-*/- obviously would instantly bond and become BFF. They do talk **** about peach and daisy occasionally - reminds her of Lin, just so small, sweet and innocent. Will protect her with her LIFE-must destroy - starts off genuinely confused about what he is and why he is in Smash...but he for some reason won’t stop following her around like a little pet and she talks a very strong liking to him, even tho sometimes she thinks he’s annoying.-is in just absolute awe about how he is so powerful and she forms an obsession with him because she simoly
So we are probably getting at least someone from Xenoblade, right?
