Same here. But I'm positive we are going to get a 2nd SE character because of SE wanting to make Cloud DLC for a 2nd time. There is no way Sakurai was able to get Cloud in base without letting SE having 1 or 2 DLC characters in the Season Pass.I'd be fine with it if neither of the two made it in, I'm not that fussy over character picks.
Not really.
Realistically, you probably just wont hear support as loudly as you do now because Erdrick is fairly relevant right now. A lot of people expected Geno or Sora to be the next Square Enix newcomer for good reasons. The idea of Dragon Quest being in Smash was buried because the Sora and Geno fans were the bigger topic of discussion. Now that Dragon Quest is in the scene, discussion is now leaning more towards him. It's like how the news stations in America reports issues constantly, and then those issues become the source of topic. Unlike those outlets where they actually do affect the personalities and culture of our nation, this is a video game and we're all here to have fun. At least I hope so.
I think judging a fanbase based on baseless hypotheticals that you've made up just to show your support is more righteous is kind of gross.
Honestly, it's disgusting. This is why I recommend just not listening to This One Fan™. They're definitely not representative of the Geno fanbase as a whole, and I'm kinda reviled to see other fanbases being put down and judged so harshly when that's something we don't want to be on the receiving end of. Treat people the way you want to be treated, love thy neighbor, etc. It's pretty basic.
Nah, at this point I know
OptimisticStrifer
is a big exception to Geno fanbase, there's no need to apologize on their behalf.
As a fan of the old-school Dooms, I also found the 2016 game incredibly boring. In that aspect, the originals are better at level design. If you have a taste for the old school I recommend you give those a go.
Huh, hadn’t thought of that. That makes it even less likely.
There's also Brutal Doom, if you want a little more bang. Lotsa fan-made content that enhances the experience.
I played Brutal Doom, but I didn’t find it that exciting.
The Metroid Prime games.
I'm not gonna go into much detail here as this was discussed more in-depth in the Doomguy thread (by yours truly no less), but Doomguy in MK works well in theory. Implementing Doomguy runs into trouble when you'd have to slow him down and stiffen him up, like Mortal Kombat would require. Smash could integrate him more faithfully by letting him keep his trademark speed, strafing, and fluidity. You can also have brutality without gore, as Ridley gleefully demonstrates (and Gomorrah, who's regularly depicted graphically chewing angels apart).
Funniest thing I've seen all week, XD
I agree about Doomguy working better in Smash.
Oh... oh no. Now I need to rewatch that episode! Nooooooo!
Gotta give my extremely biased opinion here, man: Being fine with Ryu Hayabusa because of the good ol' Nerd is a stellar reason to feel that way. I freaking love James and his work, AVGN or not.
Oh, incidentally, AVGN Adventures will be getting a collection bundle soon. Which is convenient, since AVGNA2 never came to the 3DS.
To me, it's just support. As a newbie on these forums, I can't see how precious longevity really is. All it really tells me about a person is how much time they invested into the topic, which isn't inherently good or bad. If a character is supported, I don't see much to criticize in the trend. People want the character and they'll be happy if they get in. No one's entitled to a character because they have been asking for years. I imagine you know this, too.
What people seem to be taking frustration with is your assertion that Erdrick's support is based on bandwagoning and how people are just supporting the character just for the sake of "being correct", as you put it. Put simply, it creates the impression that you think Erdrick's support is artificial because people just want to be right about a character being in game.
What the hell makes support "manufactured"? Honestly the reason characters like Hilda recieved brief spikes in campaigning is because after their game came out and goes away they don't have too much of a chance due to them getting replaced decently fast with new characters and games. The reason someone like Ridley lived so long is because Metroid and Ridley are, well, still alive (even if it was on hiatus for a bit) and not having the closest thing to a consistent main villain the series has was a gaping hole. The reason Isaac or Geno, however, lived so long is simply the fact that those characters aren't going anywhere. GS is dead and SMRPG (and by association Geno) is owned by SE. That's the reason they've been campaigned for for so long.
You're self-conscious enough to admit your faults. Good enough in my opinion.
I'm not very hopeful for Geno in Smash, but outside of Smash, I think he has a great shot at returning with Mallow in tow. That's all I really want. I love them both so dang much, and bringing them back would just be heavenly. It doesn't have to be a revival through Smash Bros. It can be anything. The way NoA and NoJ seem to be pushing Geno and, to a lesser extent, Mallow into the public eye, too, makes me wonder if they have something in the pipeline for them.
I quote because I can’t say it better.
I really don't wanna pimp out Doomguy too much on the Geno thread.
Yeah, It is likely that I haven’t gone deep with 2016, since I did not even know about the Rocket launcher.
Thank you <3
Things would be better as a whole if everyone was self-conscious.
I was wishing any kind of DQ content in Smash for a long number of years.
This begs the question, Doomguy or Master Chief?
And the majority of people thought Geno was extremely likely for the base game.
Tbh, I have actually been a Ridley and K.Rool main since the game launched (because I bought it at launch). It is true that people may want to jump on trends, but I’m not really that kind of person.
Gosh, same. I haven't so much wanted to main Ridley, but as soon as K. Rool was revealed, I was like, "No matter what, I'm maining him." My love for K. Rool is bananas (HEH), and I vowed that if he was in Smash, he'd be my main. Guess who made it to Smash, and who I am maining to this day?
I wish that I could answer that question.
You may call it a maymay but the fact is that people are just sick of the whole aesthetic of the FE style human sword users. There's a reason almost no one lists FE style characters or anything close to that in speculation lists. Because people are tired of them. Could Sakurai potentially add in 6 more sword fighters that technically play differently from one another? Maybe. Do people want that? No. You can look at listings of top requested characters for SSBU pre release and now for DLC and see most of the characters are not that. The only one that is in that sort of spectrum is Sora and even then when people list out movesets its hard not to see that it comes off as feeling very similar to several that we already have in the game. The issue is that there are so many non-anime/realistic human-esque sword users out there not only in Nintendo but in the greater video game pantheon that people have been requesting for years. It was frustrating as a fan of the series to see that sort of character be brought in over and over again in Sm4sh when the point of Smash is to celebrate all of gaming and Sakurais stated intention is to bring in characters that offer something new and different to the roster the more you add anime style swordfighters the less that even becomes feasible or even worth it to a lot of people. Why spend development time trying to met out a niche for another swordfighter when there are plenty of characters that don't use sword or have that kind of aesthetic? I think I'd feel differently if the FE fighters we've gotten represent the different weapon styles availiable in FE but at this point they don't and it this point adding more is just frustrating.
