Ah, yes. Regrettably the only Star Fox I never played...besides Star Fox Zero, but the wonky controls on that one were a hard turn-off for me. Gotta say, it makes me like Wolf even more that he isn't such a one-note character when it comes to dealing with Fox. In the face of a common enemy, he doesn't mind putting aside their differences to kick some butt.
Thanks, man! Yeah like I said definitely not a complete 1:1 comparison but similar enough that it's worth looking at imo. It really made me so happy to not only see Skullo announced at EVO a couple of years ago but see the crowd go ****ing bananas for him. Street Fighter EX plus Alpha was the first Capcom fighting game I ever owned as a kid and I have a lot of fond memories of it. I honestly think a big reason why I've never gone all in on Street Fighter as a player is because the characters that I mained and connected with growing up just kind of disappeared. Even though I've tried out other characters I don't think I've clicked with any of them quite as much. Seeing Skullomania (or Garuda) get into a mainline Street Fighter game is the only fighting game want I have on the level of Geno getting into Smash at this point.Datboigeno I love what you did with the Skullomania comparison. Obviously there are some differences, but it's a very similar situation.
While I wasn't physically at EVO, I've watched nearly every EVO I think for like 5+ years. Seeing Skullomania was so ****ing hype, like OMG~!
Now that I think about it...this year's EVO was weak as hell in comparison to last years. Last year has BBTag reveal and then showing RWBY was in the game, Juubei reveal for Central Fiction, EX Fighting Layer reveal, Trunks reveal for FighterZ...like damn, it was hype for both announcements and the matches. I feel like this year was only hype about the matches (and only for certain games, as MK11's hype felt super forced and should have revealed Spawn but had nothing). Soul Calibur reveal was alright, but the hype was ruined by the poor presentation and we all knew Cassandra was coming. Tekken's was awesome as we got their own version of Ip Man and I'm hyped about that.
FighterZ turned out to be better than I thought, as Super Janemba actually looks cool and has unique mechanics and SSB Gogeta looks like they are really going all out for him! SFV's leak was pretty meh but the idea that Ono has something for Capcom Cup has me a bit antsy. MK11 made the mistake of having their reveal before EVO and not revealing a Guest character on the show-floor. Nintendo never invests in Smash so that was also unfortunate (apparently the EVO prize pool is a joke compared to others because Nintendo refuses to invest in it).
SamSho and Uniel were pretty high up there: Uniel is getting a new game/update after so many years of playing (it's been around since 2012, hit consoles on PS3 in 2014 JP/2015 US) so that was a pretty big deal as it could have easily been done with by now, and SamSho made it CLEAR they are supporting this game with a new character EACH MONTH FOR THE REST OF 2019 and one of them is FREE, then they announced more character for 2020 and that those character are poll winners? Jesus dude
And then, we have Guilty Gear...OH BOI! Anyone who saw that cannot tell me it's not the best-looking animated fighting game thus far. This already puts FighterZ to shame, and FighterZ is godlike!
Oh yeah, we got that August Smash Direct date at last year's EVO as well.
Yeah, last year's EVO was much better for reveals.
Now why didn't I think of that? That's genius.
At least concerning the SE side. Not many people seem to be in a hurry to support non-FF7 FF characters, and the Crono supporters have apparently given up, so that leaves us with Slime/some other DQ character, Sephiroth/Tifa and Neku as barriers to remove left. Sora is a "who even knows?" case, so he probably won't be a priority for the immediate future.
Sora's in such a weird league all his own with Disney and all that I wouldn't even count him tbh. He and Geno are in totally different situations and wouldn't have much bearing on one another imo.
LOL You know, the funny thing is that this sentiment is what actually gives me the most hope. With how much demand there is for him, I can't see them adding new characters without EVENTUALLY breaking down and putting him in due to a lack of notable video game characters left in existence. It's basically process of elimination at this point.
Such is life. We'll get there eventually.
Beetle Mania is a hidden mini game found within Super Mario RPG.

That I did not know. I thought it was an overall server which is why I did a Dwayne Johnsson (aka raise an eyebrow)
Oh yeah, in such a case, I would have done the same thing, but companies often have dedicated servers to properly split loads, therefore allowing the best speeds and maintenance per country. That said, if Nintendo didn't do that, I'd be pretty confused... but I doubt they're that dumb.
The Toad wearing sunglasses, you can't miss him. Talk to him every once in a while.
Seeing what EVO did in regards to the Snake fake-out, I honestly think they don't deserve having a Smash reveal yet. They're not mature enough. Meanwhile, Boone, ironically, was NOT amused about WB spoiling the surprise.
Concidering how... lackluster their online functions are, I wouldn¨t be suprised
Hey, I didn't know about this minigame either, so don't feel bad.
I knew about both for the longest. Sorry, y'all, but it's hard for me to miss anything, especially since I love digging into games' coding and checking out unused assets. RIP.
Meta Knight never started as a villain. Seeing as his debut game (Kirby's Adventure) featured him as an accomplice of Dedede and Dedede was technically the hero in that game, Meta Knight was technically a hero too. The only "evil" thing Meta Knight did was Revenge of Meta Knight and, to be fair, he wasn't even evil in that. Main antagonist, yes, but villain? No. He wanted to get Dreamland to stop being so lazy, which although his methods were kind of extreme, he had a good point. Since then, he's only ever been "evil" as Mecha Knight or possessed by Yin-Yarn or the Jamba Heart. He's definitely not like Mewtwo because he never had evil intentions to begin with. Sorry for ranting but it's a misconception just like Dedede being a villain.
I know of him, but I didn't know he had an entire mini-game. Thought it was just a gag.
If it's Square Enix that is the issue, it might not be greed motivating them, but PR and how Square Enix wants to present itself. There's no reason to not take the money... unless you recognize it as a potential issue for your brand. Geno's not really a Square Enix character that promotes anything Square Enix can sale to people, and they as a company seem to have an idea about how they present themselves on the wider market. If they look at Geno and see him as "Not putting their best foot forward and missing an opportunity for a better cross-promotion," any profit wouldn't change that mindset. If any company was going to have that sort of resistance, I'd wager Square Enix would be the one.
Did Hero crash the servers? I downloaded him as soon as the update was available on the first try and didn't hear much about issues surrounding Hero at all.
Meta Knight even helped Kirby sometimes, and in his first appearance he even tossed Kirby those invincibility lollipops a few times, even once after Kirby defeated him; it felt more like he was testing Kirby’s strength or something.
The trick is that he lets you have a go at the game if you manage to not interrupt him long enough between talking prompts. If he loses his game, he gets mad and doesn't notice that he's talking to the

It's why I bought the Fighter Pass after the DQ heroes and Banjo were revealed. I didn't want to go through that all over again, and Banjo's going to be even worse than Joker in that regard on the Eshop when he and Kazooie launches
It just seems weird to me this source has been so accurate in the past especially with the bear and bird image, but i'm losing trust with each passing day.
Losing trust how? Because you aren't getting immediate gratification? Calm down dude
These could be some reasonable motivations, I suppose, but considering that Cloud and Hero have already gotten in, I would honestly say that their best foot has already been put forward. Since Cloud is pretty much their poster boy, and Nintendo could afford HIM, I don't imagine that Geno would be all that insurmountable.
I've had no issue whatsoever when downloading Hero.
Well to be fair, this is the longest a picture from this NoA staff member has ever taken for anything to come of it when it normally takes less than 3 weeks.
The people who are concerned didn't even see the other pictures though
Probably just that Nintendo was better prepared and not in the middle of so much server maintenance like they were around Joker's release (I also think this was a smaller update too). I don't think it reflects on the characters at all.
I think it's because people weren't as hyped for the DQ Heroes in the West. That is until it became apparent they were arguably the best characters in the game at the moment
Umm, it’s been far from immediate.
