So, man, I just caught up with the thread and with things going on.
There was an announcement for a mini direct, after a long time, SOMETHING. A pleasant surprise after awhile. And in regards of the content, it wasn't something world shattering or world breaking, if that makes sense. It was ok, all things considered. They showed enough and gave a reason of why there isn't much going on, the Co-Vid19 fiasco.
At least with this, we're willing to wait more. Just enough for many, but for me I'm good until the middle of the year when the next character of Smash comes. And man, we GOT IT.
An Arms character. That, was a pleasant surprise. A character from a series that fits Smash and that IMO deserves the attention. Now it can join alongside Splatoon which I felt was a bit lonely as the new 1st party series but with the announcement, not so much. I am not a huge fan of the series but I like the designs, the concept and the characters. In other words, the series DESERVES the opportunity.
Which brings me to my next point. Why are people so upset that Arms got a chance? Is it because of the series? The character or potential character? Or is it just because it is not "your character that is wanted"? Man, I understand some disappointed but goddamn, the level of salt and bitchiness of some people is astounding.
Saying that the character belongs to a "dead series"/flop, whatever and support characters that have not that much different "stance" is as hypocritical as you can possibly be.
YOU HAVE NO GROUND TO SAY THAT CONSIDERING IN WHAT THREAD WE ARE IN RIGHT NOW. A character that gets flack every other day for the same reasons, like it or not.
Seeing people's salt of the situation is amusing, and disappointing. I thought that it wouldn't happen with this announcement but I guess I was wrong. It will happen with each and every character that isn't who you wanted.
And then people wonder why the meme "H0E$ M4D" exists...
Just my $0.02 on the matter as I needed to get my thoughts out there, because damn. Just chill guys.
BTW, if you'll excuse me, I'll go to the respective Arms threads to offer my congrats.
