I already know actually, but thanks. Now im compelled to go back and Play DB Fighterz again.
"b-b-but he can't fly! MASTER ROSHI CAN'T FLY HE SHOULDN'T BE IN THE GAME NOOOOOO!
The thing that I'm suggesting is that Crash isn't really a big household name in Japan anymore, outside of a decently dedicated but niche fanbase. I guess the best way to put it is by saying Crash WAS a big character in Japan back in the 2000's, but nowadays their are several B-C tier franchises that are more popular over there. Franchises that would probably be called "literally what" if they ever got into Smash over here. Japan hasn't had a huge Crash renaissance, and I dunno if their is any significant demand for Crash (the games) over there; like there was here. Sonic is also like that (games are far bigger in the West), but at the very least Sonic is still the face of a extremely well known company over there and has had constant media appearances since the 80's (I would probably put Mega-Man in a very similar category too).
Without going on a sprawling tangent, I'd argue against this because they've repeatedly said that this season was meant to be extra and that this is indeed the last for Smash Ultimate. It makes me think of how they handled Smash 4's DLC: three heavily requested cut characters, two enormous gaming icons, a shill pick, and a literal Smash fanbase pick according to Sakurai himself. 6 of the 7 were big deals. Min Min being our "Corrin" for Season 2 wouldn't exactly shock me. Even then, people often downplay that Min Min was pretty much the most wanted ARMS character by the fans and developers so she was hardly a "eat yer ****in' broccoli" pick and literally the best choice they could have made according to both ARMs and Smash fans.
Something else to bring up is that just because a character is popular in the community, that doesn't make them a fan pick. Pass 1 seems to have made people forget this since it seemed to go out of its way NOT to appeal to the Smash fanbase aside from Banjo, but there are plenty of super popular picks that could be added for completely different reasons.
Exactly and there's kind of a lot of overlap anyways. Ryu wasn't super requested for Smash 4 but... It's Ryu, Mr. Fighting Games himself. That's honestly how I feel about Crash, Chief, and, to a lesser extent, Dante. It's kind of irrelevant if they are super requested by the Smash fanbase around the world, they're still enormous icons. Both Crash and Chief have been called rivals of Mario, a title taken very seriously and, aside from Metal Gear Solid, DMC is arguably the definitive M rated series around the world. All three of these characters are lucky to not only be heavily requested but also some of gaming's biggest stars. This is also why I've backed these characters in my predictions because they are some of the Sonic/Megaman tier third party characters that aren't in Smash yet.
Yeah thats fair. I guess I'm just very pessimistic, but I'd be surprised if we're in for more then one Western rep. Nintendo has always been bias towards the Japanese audience, especially given the fact that Fighters Pass Volume 1 has had three anime-looking characters (I don't count Terry since he doesn't really feel Western to me and he is based off a traditional American, and Banjo obviously is completely Western made). I still think we could be in for more Western representation, but probably in more smaller forms such as Mii Outfits, Spirits, music and AT LEAST one more Western rep.
the Geno of Dragon Ball FighterZ
what does the choice of that particular gun mean?
It's a super shotgun from Doom.
OH Lmao
I love how much mileage you're getting out of these Wario memes lately.
Paper Mario 64 is probably the most underrated of the original three. I love that game! The gameplay is so brilliant and the characters are adorable. Whether we do get a Paper Mario remake or not, I'm hoping it's a remake of PM64.
Never Forget that C17 was added as a playable character while being an assist, the made up fan rules are so stupid lol, all hail Geno and waluigi for smash !
The first one is Switch only and there’s a Splatoon 2 Splatfest rerun that week so it might be for that only
4 scheduled maintenance periods around the time we're speculating when FP7 releases? This might be worth keeping our eyes on
Yeah, Min-Min was definitely the biggest character wanted by ARMS fans and Smash fans, but let's not kid ourselves and say she was highly requested/crowd pleaser before ARMS got confirmed, because as far as I can tell ARMS didn't really do that well in Smash polls until after we already knew what was coming. And I can't really see Min-Min being a Corrin-like advertising pick either (though she does have those traits) just because Corrin's game was actually out in the last 6 months in Japan and coming out in the coming months everywhere else. Min-Min came out after ARMS had already been out for 2 years, and had already sort of "peaked". It won't be until we see ARMS 2 (whenever that is) that we'll see the effects Min-Min actually had.
Well, they addressed the people calling "fake" on the whole thing...
As a Dragon Ball Fan, Roshi was requested, but so was Most of the DLC Characters for that game. The only characters I think were more of the niche requests were Base Goku and Base Vegeta (they were popular in Japan though), Videl, and GT Goku (People wanted Kid Goku from the OG Dragon ball, but GT Goku is the compromise)
So I've heard. I think that basically shows even further that Namco loves to listen to fan demand, given the amount of fan service they have been providing in this DLC
I don't think you have talked about this yet, but according to GameXplain and NateDrake's predictions, they think a Splatoon spinoff is likely. Now I know them saying that prediction doesn't make it gospel, but if you were looking for an explanation as to what the Splatoon amiibo are for, there's a possibility.
Well, someone pointed this out:
Would that spinoff be that SAVE OUR SALMONS thing teased at the start of the year?

you might want to direct link the first two tweets instead of embedding, those contain swearing and you can get warned for censor dodging
People implied something either tomorrow or Tuesday. Honestly, trying to pin down dates make me want to put a gun in my mouth which is why these last two months have been especially exhausting because that seems to be what most of the focus has been on. I'm more interested in the what than the when and it's been when since Min-Min...
So basically a Direct on the 28th is possible, but the video is more or less fake. Also, is it me, or does Twitter seem to randomly decide between loading fast and loading slower than crap (when logged in)
