Lucas was a veteran as well and he was released alongside Roy and Ryu on that day. If they could release two veterans and a newcomer with a stage in one pack in a day, than they could release two newcomers with two new stages in a pack in a day.
Then 6 months of nothing but costumes and returning 64 stages. Creating new stages from scratch isn't as easy as people assume (remember that Orbital Gate Assoult needed a whole year to be completed).
You know that's what happened in Smash 4 right? They didn't reveal Bayonetta and Corrin until the Final Presentation Direct which was in December 6 months later after Roy and Ryu's reveal. And than Bayonetta and Corrin were released in February of the following year two months later. Also, during those 6 months we got nothing but Mii costumes and 3 returning stages like Hyrule Castle, Peach's Castle 64, and Dream Land 64, so isn't farfetched as you say it is because it has happened before.
I mean, who wouldn't.
BLADE
Another good title would be "doll". Everyone would suspect Geno and would be thrown for a loop. Blade would be the best however but I think Rex fans had kind of given up on him getting in.
geno fans would get a sneaky pulled on them
They could leave a name based on their base character like in 4...I think Bayonetta's 4 DLC slot had "zss" in its file name meaning ZSS was a possible base
IIRC it wasn't a name. Among the dummy "mario" files one had ZSS' stats pasted on it, while another one had Ike's (who was Cloud in the end). But since the naming was just "mario" nobody looked into it until much later, well after the actual fighets were released.
As I recall, ALL of the stats were removed.
I figured we'd get a Smash direct sometime late March or early April to go over what stuff is added and changed with patch 3.0.0, along with Joker gameplay shown off plus FINALLY getting DLC character 2 atleast teased through a trailer or something like that.
If Brave is a third party like the popularly speculated Erdrick, I feel they may save him for E3. Kinda hoping the 2nd teaser isn’t Brave...
I don't expect anything to happen until next month. At least there's Good-Feel's latest releases to tide people over in the meantime.
The thing is Dragon Quest is the definition of RPG in Japan, as it surpasses in popularity Final Fantasy and rivals Pokémon, and considering that most entries in the series are avaiable on Nintendo's console (or even exclusive to them) the fact that it has no representation in Smash is a crime.
I'll "buy" the music being because SE thought Cloud would be DLC (Even though that makes no sense since Sakurai probably told SE that Cloud was gonna be in the base game.) However, there were a ton of spirits that SE could of added in smash that had nothing to do with FF. Octopath Traveler, I am Setsuna, Chronotrigger, Bravley Default, TWEWY, and many more games that have characters with no chance of getting in but should have representation in smash. Also, wanting your only character to be DLC when Konami (the embodyment of an eldritch god when it comes to businesses) gives you way more content for Smash with no DLC is just scummy.
The lack of other Square Spirits probably has to do with how Sakurai and his team decided them. Notice that even with other more cooperative Third Party company we don't have Spirits from series that aren't in Smash, like Ace Attorney, Monster Hunter (beside the Rhatalos), Contra, Tekken, Tales of...
Fair point on the Spirits from other companies, but even if SE was to want Cloud as DLC (again) shouldn't they have added at least a few spirits from earlier entries in FF, like spirits from 6 or tactics?
My guess is that SE wanted Cloud as DLC again so much that initially refused to give Sakurai the rights for the base game, but eventually they were convinced, but it was too late to license more from them. Dataminers have found out that Cloud was the last fighter added to the base game, and probably Sakurai didn't want to create Spirits until he had the license, and when he got it it was too late. That would also explain why Cloud is used in only 2 Spirits Battle, the Zeke one (and we know that XC2 content was added later in development) and the Master Edge one (were he could have easely been replaced with Ike).
That makes me wonder how hurt SE is for income, if they wouldn't allow Cloud in Smash and wanted him as DLC it'd be interesting to look at their income reports, I doubt people would take kindly to having to buy a character that should have been apart of the base game, How would Sakurai try to explain that? And Geno fans think he's actually gonna get into Smash, I honestly feels sorry for them,
Yeah, they surely weren't on the players side.
Even if nothing happens for DQ, you should still check it out, DQ3 is one of the best places to start with in the series.
Most likely because they weren't able to properly introduce Erdrik. Sakurai recently confirmed that the other DLC will not have a cinematic trailer like how they did with Joker, rather they will stick to gameplay ones like how they did with the Smash For DLC. Also, as I pointed out several times, they don't usually tie announcements together. Look at Joker, he was revealed without a port of P5, yet every single insider is saying that it will be ported and Atlus even registered the trademark "P5S".
I recall them saying something about looking forward to more DQ related news in that direct, so maybe a DQ character in Smash is part of that news.
Wait, where was this mentioned? Not that I doubt you, but a source is needed.
Make that 1-4. I mean, the first game was used as a pack-in for a Nintendo Power issue once.
Wow, they're really trying to push this game in the west. Giving a copy of a game for free? I've read somewhere that DQ11 sales was 4 million, but Japan made up 75% of it. The western market would eat the game up if it does better. It looks more of a pallet cleanser compared to the edgy tone of FF nowadays.
The problem is that compared to other JRPG franchises it's a little old hat. Luckily the Switch thrives on old hat JRPGs, so maybe its luck will change this time and not be ignored in favor of the head-explodingly, face-meltingly, mind-blowingly popular FF for once.
The thing that made the game more interesting was the 16 bit gameplay, it makes it have 2 playthroughs. The new major jrpgs are getting too bloated so I'm interested in it.
