The post was edited according to many other people who saw the original.
I think nobody could find the original post when searching for the number, though someone found a similar post with the same image that was also talking about fighters (not the same ones though), so I guess it was edited.
I'm unaware of anything on that front and if there were problematic admins on the site, they would not be tolerated. ResetERA, on average, is generally pretty attune to issues in the gaming community and tend to be pretty damn vocal about issues they see in it. I've seen people banned for their opinions on subject matters even approaching anything unsavory with regards to minors and people do not tolerate that sort of thing there. So, I'm definitely going to tell you not to give the entire site that label (at least not any more than you would this site, we've had some issues in the past too, hence the fact the Social thread has been "Temporary" for a few months"). I'd also suggest we not really discuss this further, but that's just not what ResetERA is and the users are conscious enough to ensure that doesn't stay in the community if it is ever found.
It's been proven that it was Miyamoto's decision to water down the characters in Paper Mario from the diverse and interesting designs of the first two games to a world filled with cut and paste toads and baddies in Sticker Star and Sticker Star: But Paint This Time. I think he's even outright stated he's against any sort of narrative in Mario games, but my memory is weak on the subject.
Super Paper Mario still had different characters and level themes.
Super Paper Mario is also a 12 year old game at this point. A lot has happened since its level of what I consider peak Paper Mario narrative
that doesn't matter to me
so the fact that two Paper Mario titles have come out since Super Paper Mario and have both been devoid of the personality that made the first 3 good games invalidates the fact that the latter two are devoid of personality?
i sadly don't understand your word.
Lots of Spirits have distinctions like that, though. Karate Kong is listed as being from "Donkey Kong Jungle Beat" rather than from "Donkey Kong Series", for instance. Doesn't suddenly make Jungle Beat a separate series from Donkey Kong. It's like if I asked someone, "is a leopard a cat?" and they responded, "no, it's a leopard!" Yeah, it is, but that doesn't make it not a cat.
So I only read like the first 2 pages of comments. The OP actually seemed really genuine and well-written. Sure there were some expected bad comments, but overall I was pleasantly surprised by support even by those who felt indifferent towards the character. Honestly, I can understand being indifferent. As some others have said, Geno actually doesn't have a whole lot fleshed out about his personality but has a really cool aesthetic and way of fighting which I think lends itself to people with more imagination really taking to him because they begin to fill in the enigmatic pockets of his personality with things that seem to make sense to them for Geno to be like based on what we do know. Not saying people that don't like Geno have no imagination just that I think Geno appeals more to people who are more creative by nature.
To play Devil's Advocate:
Hey, don't diss Bandana Dee fans like that! So rude!
I got a chuckle from this.Hey, don't diss Bandana Dee fans like that! So rude!
I think it was a Sandbag fan diss.Hey, don't diss Bandana Dee fans like that! So rude!
Nah clearly he was talking about the Pauline spirit.I think it was a Sandbag fan diss.
I mean, look at the way it flushes after you beat it up...
Actually, Peach's frying pan and Bowser's claw swipe in their moveset originally came from Mario RPG.
@Serenade01 was basically saying that the newer Paper Mario games like Sticker Star and Color Splash completely lack personality, depth, and good writing to them.
Yeah it doesn't make sense to lock the most requested characters away as side material and then shuffle in a bunch of random 3rd parties to try and appeal any other demographic than your own. I mean I guess I understand why they might want to but I can't believe it would be more successful then what just giving the people what they want. I can't think of anyone who is a sony or microsoft fanboy who bought both the game and a switch just to play as a character they like in smash bros. Unfortunately the only means of communication in the business consumer relationship is to just either buy or not buy the product offered, and like so many times in the past choosing to skip in protest wouldn't tell Nintendo we want something else they would just think we dont want it at all and would can development entirely. It's just so frustrating that they went out of their way to do the big poll to see what characters people wanted to buy most in ultimate but then just cast it aside after base. I just don't understand and I hope more than anything I'm wrong about their intentions and new dlc is focused again on fan picks no matter who owns them.
I hate it when they don't choose the exact character I want! Why can't they just appeal to me?
well jokes on you because I happen to love both dragon quest and kof so for me personally it's been a decent ride, but that doesn't mean I'd rather they coincidentally fulfill some largely silent requests in their goal to network over the big stuff people have clamored for a decade or more. None of those characters were even in the greater discussion until they were leaked and I would rather see the internet explode in excitement again like at the end of e3, not have to tell people who terry is for the umpteenth time. (or that SNK is a company not a game
)no, see, since you think there could have been better inclusions you only have eyes for one character and believe every other character is a mistake. You're being entitled!well jokes on you because I happen to love both dragon quest and kof so for me personally it's been a decent ride, but that doesn't mean I'd rather they coincidentally fulfill some largely silent requests in their goal to network over the big stuff people have clamored for a decade or more.

i never really played Sticker Star and Color Splash, i only played Super Paper Mario so i don't really need to say anything about the last two games of the series.
The layout of the image is a little unclear - is this all the same poll, or are the two sides from separate polls?
the left was for who you think the 5th fighter pass character would be, the right is who you want in the future dlc. they did 2 questions in the same poll
Oh, okay. Having the question on top of either side probably would have helped clear that up. I'd honestly be fine with any of those choices for the fifth Fighters Pass character.
Oh, yes, that's my old art in the signature! And thank you so very much. I'm messing around and testing with different brushes in Paint Tool Sai, striving to improve! Means a lot, hoping to make a game one day. ^^
I don't care what Geno's promoting by getting in - when he gets in I'm buying multiple copies of whatever he's promoting. Movie? Seeing it twice. Game? Guess I'll have one copy to keep sealed. The DLC itself? Buying it for friends who might not have gotten it.
