Smash Bros DLC:
I'm guessing you're referring to the "leak" that was posted to Blocked Content, which was verifiable as false because the post number initially didn't match any held in an archive, and as soon as it showed up in an archive, it was obvious that the post had been edited. Not gonna say Blocked Content did it themselves, but...
the online is huge stain on an otherwise immaculate game. They still haven't unrandomized the quick play ruleset so frankly this didn't surprise me much.
oh, I wasn't angry about it or anything. I was just legitimately trying to think of some nearly unheard of 3rd party title that had a similar run animation and never would have thought it was from Mario Bros 3.
Me: Nintendo has their finger on the pulse of the community.
That's what you pay $20 a year for. Old men who can make great games but have no idea how to make a good online service.
but I get Nintflix with more games added all the time! And Mario Maker actually means something. And...
my bad, it just looked really facetious from my end, to be honest I wouldn't have recognized it either if I hadn't just finished the switch port like 2 days ago.
This, I think, is the biggest kick to the balls. They literally put ZERO effort into their online infrastructure, yet have the complete audacity to charge us for it. It's been what, two years now? And we STILL only have black and white to choose from for the Switch Menu UI? The freaking 3DS had a whole rainbow of colors and tons of themed backgrounds both free and for purchase, yet here we are, still sitting here with only two shades and seemingly no further embellishments in sight. I really don't get how the Switch can be so successful, basically becoming the new "Wii", and yet Nintendo just doesn't feel the need to put any effort into it. Sorry for the ranting, but I'm just so incredibly frustrated with their absurd amount of apathy. Smash is one of their absolute biggest cash cows, and online play is one of the greatest lengtheners of a game's life, but I can't believe how inept they are at implementing even the tiniest fixes.
subscription service and infastructure aside I don't think placing the blame of smash's ****ty online on nintendo's shoulders is entirely fair. As a splatoon fan I can say the online in that game is great, occasionally you get the random Siberian native that chunks the framerate but most of the time the game moves buttery smooth as long as your own connection doesn't suck. I think sakurai and the smash team likely has more to do with it then we know, especially the menu and ruleset issues that have only gotten worse since 4. Not trying to abdicate them but there isn't enough evidence to concretely say whose fault this is.
Ha! You think that laggy, friend locking game is gonna change my-
*Anime gasp* (TETRIS 99?! Damn it how did he know? Everyone knows you can't turn down a free game of Tetris! I can't counter that... It's over...)
I think I remember someone saying that Nintendo keeps it peer to peer because of some Japanese tradition or something. I can't remember what they said but it sounded like something Nintendo would swear to because of their massive pride. I think I saw it on Gamexplain's Nintendo online one year anniversary video.
Only way they could have a bigger let-down of an ending for this pass is if it was a FE character as character 5. I would hope they learned their lesson from Smash 4 DLC and not repeat the same damn thing.
Come on man! How could you not want another fire emblem sword fighter with a down special counter move? Robin sucks!
I mean, with regards to the Smash bros rule change, you're probably right that it's more likely the Smash team at fault than Nintendo itself. Still, I can't figure out why grown, presumably rational adults would think it makes sense to reduce the number of Sudden Death matches by killing the entire point of the mode. Think about it:
Let's Go is a spinoff remake of Gen 1 that most people didn't ask for and that was dumber down to take in the Pokemon Go crowd to make even MORE money off of them.
I mean, these are the people who think that their exhibitions between world class players at huge events like the Nintendo World Championship should be played as timed, items on matches in a variety of formats rather than rulesets that the very dedicated, nearly 20 year old competitive subculture that their game created have devised for fair, exciting competitive play.
I concur. This is the only 'shillmon' I would want from this generation in Smash. I'd still rather do without, but if they had to, go with my new favorite duck.
Yeah, but I can understand why though. Although, I feel after Geno, I'm going to try and get people to push for Sirfetch'd. There aren't too many notable lance users in gaming and I think it'd be a unique weapon to use in Smash. Rip Galacta Knight (for now...) Imagine it having for melee range than a normal sword but a tad shorter than the Vampire Killer. Ahhhhh, I can dream over this duck!
Ovaltine
, I'd love if the alts consisted of regular Farfetch'd, Psyduck, Golduck, Ducklett, Porygon, Ludicolo, and Corviknight. I don't usually want new pokemon because the starters kind of bore me but if they announce Sirfetch'd for Smash, I'd be so hyped. Like, this duck has waited 7 gens for an evo. I'll TAKE IT!
I'm aware Let's Go isn't a main series title, didn't need you to explain that to me. It not being a "main series title" doesn't mean they couldn't re-use that specific mechanic in a main game title that I mentioned. The "main series titles" ALWAYS have NPCs in the overworld that trade you stuff, so it's not exactly far fetched to consider they would use it in Sword and Shield.
yeah sirfetch'd is probably the only gen 8 pokemon they could drop in that I wouldn't cop an attitude about. Though on the merit of lances alone I'd rather rotate an FE slot into someone like ephiram or just give the people BWD.Yeah, but I can understand why though. Although, I feel after Geno, I'm going to try and get people to push for Sirfetch'd. There aren't too many notable lance users in gaming and I think it'd be a unique weapon to use in Smash.

Also,
I get what you're saying, but I would rather have a super fun, reasonably competitive tournament at the cost of 30 more seconds a match than this steaming pile of feces that they think will pass for one. I mean, you're right, we're talking about the same people that are either oblivious or intentionally apathetic toward the actual competitive scene, so I guess it makes sense for them to do stupid stuff like this to appeal to the "casual" players. I know that the rest of the Fighting Game Community constantly memes Smash bros as a party game and NOT an actual fighting game. It's sad that the devs apparently agree since I personally think Smash is vastly better than 95% of the other fighting games out there anyway.
Yeah, I can agree with either of those two but really, we don't have any Pokemon that use a weapon, which would be really surreal, realistically speaking. I feel like Sirfetch'd is just the right kind of "wtf" that people wouldn't really complain. I mean, we have no clue what its stats are like but I have a general idea on how I'd like it if it made it in.
I could see them starting the trailer with that song, perhaps as the star spirit searches for the body of Geno once more... and then once it finds him, the music picks up the pace and they switch to battle against an armed boss while showing him re-united with his doll body blowing stuff up.
aren't the only pokemon that even use weapons farfetch'd and like... the conkeldurr line? not exactly sure what sort of representation that would actually fill. I'm assuming you just really want sirfetch'd and that's fine, pokemon has a lot of potential for good fighters if they were willing to go for non-starters/icons. seems like pokemon has been all promo picks since brawl/4
Blastoise has cannons.
