This is honestly my thought on the Square situation. I'm to believe that an overprotective company let it be all but settled that Dragon Quest is coming to Smash and that Atlus of all companies was able to bamboozle everyone but they weren't?
Delusional on Gamefaqs simply means that you're not towing the line and caving to popular theory the way they want you to.
Thinking it's plausible doesn't mean you're delusional and certain that, "Oh, Erdrick is DEFINITELY leakbait!" GameFAQs people will latch onto anything to fuel their anti-Geno agenda, honestly.
♪!? Spirit tho B)
Not just God’s, but other important characters as well. Hinawa and Ness’s Dad are legendaries which to me signifies their importance in their respective games despite not being the main character.
Exactly. This could be a good or a bad thing. It could indicate that they do still have Geno on the mind, and this could be either a definitive consolation prize or a just in case consolation prize, in the case that Sakurai can't negotiate with NoJ and SE to get Geno playable. The Mii costume coming back would tie in to all of this and pretty much be our word.
Going from mii fighter costume to situationally usable PNG file is not only a downgrade, it's kind of an insult.
Eh....there's trouble with that logic. If that were the case then Nintendo wouldn't have to care WHO they put in. There wouldn't even in a be point in arguing for the likes of Geno or any other specific characters if it were that easy.
We aren't using the "who would make more money" argument for any characters.
I feel like if any character were to make the jump from spirit to playable it would be Geno. His spirit is given so much unspoken importance within the game in terms of stats and placement near Galeem. Just on a meta level it wouldn’t be too farfetched from a story perspective to have a Star spirit be the character that broke out of their imprisonment as a spirit to become playable.
Heck, with him already being a spirit who posesses things, he could just possess his original body and bing bang boom, it makes sense.
Corrin to me sound like his job was showing up.
I think I was actually less inclined to buy fates because of Corrin, and I really liked awakening.
I mean, you're trying to argue that Geno would be logical because he'd be a guaranteed success on that front. Like I said, if every character were a guranteed success, Nintendo wouldn't have a reason TO CARE about which characters get in.
Debatable. Got a source for that?
I mean, there doesn't have to be a reason. The character I didn't get was Lucas. Didn't have a tight connection with him, and I felt I'd gotten my fill of him in Brawl.
Saddens me a bit that Viewtiful Joe gets forgotten these days, but I won't hold it against you.
What I am arguing is that Geno is an interesting, unique character. Think about this: he is a puppet possessed by a star, who has a gun for a hand, who can fire beams, blasts, whirls, and flashes. He is unique. He is different. He is likely to appeal to children. Swordsman don't have that appeal.
I love that. And Merry Christmas to you!
Objectively, it only acknowledges his popularity. Whether you see it for or against him is an opinion.
False for 1 reason, provided 2 reasons anyways:
Corrin, I bought because his gameplay interested me.
That's a bit overtly subjective to suggest kids (who aren't even the sole target demographic when we've got games like Persona 5 entering the ring anyway) wouldn't have similar appeal.
Yeah. So? Doesn't speak for all or the majority of players concrete.
This is why I brought up the problem with your logic. If supposedly, the Smash fanbase will buy anything DLC-wise like you suggest, then however much Geno appeals compared to others wouldn't mean a lick cause then that would mean that Nintendo could pick just any characters for DLC as they so please, thus reducing any reason for them to bother going after Geno with the challenge and frustration of brokering such a deal with Square Enix.
Not that you've mentioned it, they really are throwing his name around more. Square is strict with leaks and like to throw their employees off with fake info, along with throwing their community off, so what if Erdrick really is leakbait?
Let's get to that down here.
Most definitely. Here's my assumption on which DLC characters were bought most:
I really connected with Mewtwo and Cloud, they were the only DLC characters I bought. Melee was my first game and I lost my **** as a kid when Mewtwo came with his CHALLENGER APPROACHING screen, and despite him being slow as hell, I still loved Mewtwo and used him all the time in Melee. I never played Final Fantasy VII and never connected with Cloud since I haven't played his game, but I sure loved him because he came from the same office as Geno, came from a great RPG game from the '90s, and is a very unique character. Gosh, I hope to see the day Cloud and Geno are in the same game, because I REALLY want to make a comic of those two meeting in Smash.
So you are saying that uniqueness doesn't affect who buys the DLC, but you are saying you bought Corrin but not Lucas because Corrin interested you and not Lucas?
I don't normally get choked up about things, especially today because I'm at work and it's busy, but this got me to smile. Thank you.
people saying this act like Sakurai has rules or something. Spoilers, he has no rules, no limits, he does what he wants within the realm of possibility. We might see waluigi or issac playable at some point, meaning even AT's don't deconfirm characters. It's incredibly unlikely but, so are a lot of things.
No. You were the one claiming such when you said that the Smash fans would buy any DLC regardless of who it was. Not me.
When I described Geno, I was commenting on his uniqueness and appeal to children because you said that not everyone bought the DLC, but you said the reason you didn't buy Lucas was because you weren't interested in him, but you bought Corrin because you were interested in him?
