It might be disappointing in some ways, but it's better than nothing. If that's all they can get in, like geno's outfit, then I'd rather have it in than not.
Geez Joker is the most likely how'd you guess that? Also SMT is 90's, not 80's.
Only if it came with the FF7 Chocobo race music.It might be disappointing in some ways, but it's better than nothing. If that's all they can get in, like geno's outfit, then I'd rather have it in than not.
A rep + mii costume is another case tho. Chocobo mii costume is nice. Fighting with a real chocobo would be awesome tho
When even Capcom themselves picked him and Nemesis over her most recently, I'm not surprised people consider such.
Eh, even if that pointed towards Phoenix Wright getting in, I wouldn't exactly call it more "concrete".
I've been low-key thinking a lot about a chocobo knight fighter as a FF rep, gets you a moogle and chocobo in one package.Fighting with a real chocobo would be awesome tho
That would be referring to Ultimate's discussions for DLC, and with that being said, Sakurai's comment about Geno was for Brawl and Sm4sh. Since NoJ is choosing this time, they probably never got the chance to even ask for Geno this time.
I meant more in regards to potential Direct news for Nintendo games. Once again, my vagueness does me in.
Middle case could be possible.
And it'd make for a damn good troll move. Besides,
s behaved like Chocobos once, so it's only fair.
I’m not going to say what it is but it rhymes with Thagon Crest.
A massive troll to the fanbase akin to Isaac and Rex? Could it be Banjo?
Is it a mineral?
Well at least that rules out a Persona segment. They would know the character if that were it.
Or Sakurai put his personal wishes aside and always approached Square Enix asking for a big character (Cloud in 4, Erdrick? In Ultimate)
What would even be the point, seeing as they're not even telling the general public?
The point of what?
The source trolling a fanbase supposedly.
I think Fatman meant representation without a playable fighter 'trolling' the fanbase a la Isaac and Rex, since those two got the shaft and backlash was huge as a result. It's less Polar's source's colleague and more Nintendo's choices leaving fans feeling bitter.
Geno was and still is a popular character in Japan. NOJ has no real reason to be against his inclusion given his direct connections to the Mario franchise. Plus, Sakurai was a big fan of Persona, and NOJ allowed Joker in, so Geno isn't any less plausible of happening if they take both Sakurai and the Western audience appeal into account. It's kinda innacurate that they would be leaning against his inclusion at all.
True, but I can't say they're quite as aware. Then again, they and Square okay'ed the SMRPG segment of Super Mario Kun that released a couple of years ago, so... who knows? I know they're trying to appease fans more, but I guess I'm just rather cynical.
I don't really see too many people being that bitter if DQ gets mii costumes considering no one was really asking for characters from that franchise in the way they were asking for Isaac or Rex/Pyrrha even in Japan. I think more people will be bootyblasted over Sora not being playable.
It wasn’t about the source trolling, it was about the franchise not having a character would feel like a troll and a snub to people, like Isaac and Rex’s exclusions.
Sakurai spoke about Minecraft in Smash?
I could've sworn I saw an article stating it somewhere but I'm not finding it. Oh well, I suppose I misrembered or the article was removed.
Let's hope it'll stay hidden.
Supposedly some news outlets and a handful of retailers have known for at least two weeks, which may explain Jon of Game Explain's otter post last week. Like I said, they'll just hang onto the info until it's formally announced.
yeah I don't remember an article like that at all, else I wish someone would've given me the link so they could ruin my playable Creeper/Steve hype.
This. I know they have talked about certain franchises in Directs without playable characters in the past but those were in Smash focused Directs. It should also be noted that they never specified how long it would be, just that it would focus on one new franchise in Smash.
Keep in mind that in PP's Palutena's Guidance, Viridi mentions both Chewy and Megasmilax, a baddie and boss from SMRPG. You think Sakurai was like 'Yo Square, give us the right to Geno and Mallow and...hmm...oh yeah, Chewy and Megasmilax, but that's all we need.'
I wanna see

That's some weird stretching they worked out there.
Welcome back!
So I'm curious how this works. So Geno is owned by Square because he was an original character in their game they made using Mario characters, but would characters like Boshi who are unique versions of the Nintendo property Yoshi belong to Square, or in this case a version of the Piranha Plant (owned by Nintendo) that was created by Square for their game?
Whoa there watch out with that pencil. Don’t ruin them pencils.
The character, Piranha Plant, is owned by Nintendo, but the names, Megasmilax and Chewy, are owned by SE. Not the character, but the names
I think I've asked this before but is there a list of who owns what when it comes to Mario RPG? How do we know this?
That honestly doesn't sound right to me, why would they be able to own anything related to something Nintendo already owns. We're not talking about a new Mario brother or something like that, we're talking about a race of monsters who have several variations. I find it hard to believe that Nintendo doesn't own anything related to Piranha Plants and that someone could make a "Biranha Plant" and get to own that.
