I'm honestly in stark opposition to any more variations of the same character, regardless of style. We've got 2 Marios, 2 Pits, 3 Links, 3 Samuses and 4 Marths (hehehe). Just give me new characters, please. I'm done with the "versions".
I thought the rumor was FE4? Regardless, I do think there was another 3DS FE remake planned and its been pushed up to Switch, along with whatever other 3DS games they were doing before Inside Story bombed, likely also all remakes.
I feel like smash is so special BECAUSE it brings in other companies. Most franchise fighters rarely cast very far from the pool of characters they have available to them. Mortal Kombat being the exception.
As much as I appreciated that Sakurai changed his design and added the sword, I was really hoping for complete overhaul for Ganondorf to actually fit his character. I completely understand back in Melee he wanted to put ganondorf in with limited time and resources so he cloned him from Captain Falcon, who compared to the other fighters, could have been the "closest" to fit due to those restraints.
No, its FE 6&7. The Fire Emblem 4 part, I do believe is because Three Houses have taken a lot of inspiration from Genealogy of Holy War to the point that you can argue that one of the main lords (won¨t spoil in cause there is someone that has yet to play it but wants to) is based around one of the major players from Fire Emblem 4.
There's rumors for both going around right now. Probably won't have a clear answer until Nintendo reveals it themselves.
Huh... then that's something I¨ve missed
While I¨m not arguing Geno's chances, I do think those costumes are fake at this point.
Change that to Manectric, and you got yourself a deal.
Holy **** wait a second, if you disregard the returning characters and just focus on the main ones, it’s so much weirder:
I like the way you think. Totally on board....except for Waluigi. I'm pretty sure Sakurai just flat out doesn't like him.
If we see Count Olaf before the month is over, I will forgive Byleth completely.
I can't help but feel that's way too little time between character given that FP2 will be across 24 months. They're gonna release around April/May and E3 will undoubtedly show off DLC 7. I can't help but feel like we won't know until February at the earliest (and it'll definitely be during a general Nintendo Direct).
Depends who picked FP2's character, given that FP1 was all picked by Nintendo (though I do still question Byleth and if they were supposed to be DLC 6 instead). If Nintendo's picking again, I don't think Sakurai would outright say no (though if Sakurai is picking, that means his-and-our boy Geno is right around the corner provided Square doesn't ruin it).
Aren¨t you mentioning Cloud twice here, concidering the DLC characters that were not veterans for Smash 4 is Cloud, Ryu, Bayo and Corrin?
See, I totally get that, but at the same time things got so insane regarding him that I would unironically see him as the one character that Nintendo would flat-out try to force down Sakurai’s throat despite any and all objections.
Yep, I explained it right after. They essentially just split Cloud into four DBZ characters and two animals, then called it a day.
Especially given for people at least in America not buying the FP and picking their DLC a la carte, I'd be willing to bet Waluigi would rake in the Internet bucks. Not a huge sample size (obviously), but I do know of at least 3 people who didn't pick up FP 1 (and aren't), but would probably buy at least the DLC pack with Waluigi in it.
But the man has said himself that he doesn't like blind purchases in not one but two presentations. There's no way they would hold off on 6 until E3, which is still about 5 months out.
Nonono, E3 would be DLC 7. DLC 6's reveal is going to be in ~4-6 weeks when we get that Q1 Nintendo Direct, then will release in ~April/May, sometime before E3. I really do think it'll (the Q1 direct) be around February, maybe even early March; it has to be before Animal Crossing releases for sure, but it can't be too soon after Sakurai's Byleth video. Sorry if I didn't clarify that well enough.
I think it's best to just not worry about it. It might help the community so we aren't constantly at each other's throats for months.
To be honest, I think it really would take Nintendo forcing it down Sakurai's throat at this point. lol
Yeah, as much as I hate to admit it, the new norm seems to be painfully long droughts followed by a Smash-gasm of one character/franchise and that's it. Now that Sakurai found a solution to stop the leaks, I doubt we'll ever get a same day release again either. This feast-to-famine schedule is a serious kick to the jewels. To be fair though, you shouldn't give up hope for Geno so soon. He's still looking good for the next pass. We'll just have to agonizingly wait to know for sure.
Pretty decent spread =/= Nintendo logic. The only thing that = Nintendo logic is.....Nintendo logic.
I don't see how this hurts Genos chances as well as Waluigi.
Zeroing in on this point. I honestly think Byleth just helped Geno a million times with his presentation.
Fatmanonice
I just watched Gamexplain's recent ramble about Byleth. Someone on there mentioned that apparently he was supposed to be in the base roster, which would line up with your confusion that he appeared NOW. What's your take on it? It would also add to my theory why we got 6 slots in Pass 2. Cuz they wanted to compensate for a slot.
I simply dont see an updated geno mii costume happening. Its very obvious that the "premium" miis are for indie characters. Either geno becomes a fully playable character, or the smash 4 costume returns, or we get absolutely nothing.
If I recall, I though they just misheard something Sakurai said. I don't recall Sakurai ever saying that.
Yep. It’s looking pretty likely he’s just going to be an upgraded Mii Costume at this point.
Axem Rangers, Yaridovich, Bowyer, Exor, that's all I actually know regretably XP
Is it though? It was obvious the first fighter pass was for third party characters until it wasn’t.
It would be sooo weird for the costume to come back after FP1 or not at all, like... he KNOWS the support for the character. Even said he wanted him playable as well as we do at one point.
