Going by what we've heard so far, steve is the biggest contender for one of those character slots, so it's two we have nothing to go on. As far as grim prognostics, I mean it by two definitions, one is for geno's chances and the second is for my own personal outlook on the DLC roster so far. I'm fully prepared to be disappointed by the remaining two as well.
Just the stats from my understanding and something about Determination meaning Brave which is kinda iffy in my opinion.
Heck yeah he would. Well, if it turns out the rumors of Nintendo helping fund Deltarune are true, things could get interesting.
And low-key increase chances for skeleton boi. Also this reminds me that I still didn't get my Sans & Papyrus icon request, darn it.
That sounds like a sad outlook. Well, I'm prepared that there could be some characters I dont like that much, but I wouldn't be grim because smash is still awesome and im sure some of those character will be very fun. Not that I'm fully satisfied or anything, but the game is already way better than any before, including with characters.
Ovaltine
is at least trying to find constructive ways to use her energies 
On what account?
It's funny, all these companies who focus on graphics or story or worse, and Nintendo is still here as the king of home console gaming. Why? Because they focus on games being fun more than anything else.too many companies have lost site of what it means to make a video game, but Nintendo?
I agree, I doubt Nintendo will ever change their stance on gaming. At E3 2012, remember when Iwata was in that room with the Japanese characters behind him? (Also where he was holding the bananas lol). Iwata said that the phrase, translated in English, means "creating something unique" and it has been guiding the company ever since its founding in the late 1800s.

I wish I shared your optimism, for me all of the characters we've seen either heavily predicted or revealed are ones that I'm either indifferent towards or flat out don't like. I don't really have any expectations for the DLC characters, but I'd at least like for them to be characters I like. I'm perfectly happy about the base game, and the DLC isn't going to ruin smash bros for me, but I feel like my disappointment is valid considering how much fan demand there was behind isaac, who we later found out had no chance of playable inclusion regardless of popularity, it does not give me high hopes for other characters I like that come from similarly left behind series'. All in all, this speculation cycle has left me somewhat jaded. Best I can hope for at this point is a second run of DLC and the opportunity to re-purchase a mii costume.That sounds like a sad outlook. Well, I'm prepared that there could be some characters I dont like that much, but I wouldn't be grim because smash is still awesome and im sure some of those character will be very fun.

It's possible to support characters you like without needing them to be in the game right away. But i know sometimes that's hard when you're looking for something. I know
Personally I'm prepared that I may not buy 1 or 2 characters, at the end of the cycle. Honestly tho i'll probably end up getting them all even if steve or someone else shows up. I still doubt steve tho. We heard there'd be minecraft content, and that's about it, and maybe there was a misunderstanding there too.
Hitagi and Xenoether outright stating steve, and Verg's prediction of minecraft content. I know we're taking Verg with a bigger grain of salt now, but I don't think we can disregard him outright. Though I've been out of the loop for a minute, so details might have changed in my absence.
They haven't really done quite good enough to shake off the stigma people have at them wasting an entire console generation on the XIII trilogy, which also ended up taking resources from other products.
Wait, he actually has a final gift prepared for us? Where did you hear this?
I get it to some degree. I felt like that sometimes. It's just that at the end of the day the game is going to get what it is, and there's lots to enjoy in it as a gamer in general. There's still stuff I'm really hoping for myself as well tho. But im going to try not wasting my energy with what i didn't get. (as much as i can help it)
Well, there's still plenty of people who liked ff13, but I agree that it would've been better to go into new stuff, at least not 3 iterations like they did. I haven't looked into KH3, I thought a lot of people liked it. But this is still looking at the flaws when the games still did good. FF15 had a lot of promise, they just ****ed up on a few things. I'm much more disappointed in the sonic series with where they went after adventure 2. At least SE has much more quality. They probably put a lot into the MMOs too, tho i havent played those. Anyway. hopefully they learn from the mistakes and it gets a lot better.
Oh boy. You don't know the half of it. Hitagi has pretty much been ousted after the Katalina rumor went bust. And even further, by Joker after Hitagi said there'd be no Atlus representation. Let me put this into perspective: Hitagi hasn't even been mentioned for ages.
We live in a world where terrible content makes tons of money because people are basic and have lowered their standards because the newer generation is used to less and less and worse and worse content being the norm. You cannot tell me we aren't there, because we are.
I mean, at the end of the day, as doom and gloom as I make it seem, it's a mild inconvenience for me. But I like to let my displeasure be known if for no other reason than a company finds little to change in the face of apathy, so I make noise where possible. Sometimes wasting energy is necessary in order to get the things you want.
Hitagi and Xenother have sketchy credibility at best, and I wouldn't look at them as reliable sources at all. Verge's prediction of Minecraft content came from the whole 'Steve being in play-testing' debacle, that rumor of which was already long proven false. On top of Sakurai hinting towards Steve possibly being an assist trophy, it looks pretty bad for Steve's inclusion as a playable fighter.
Well that does put a smile on my face.
Oof. I dont know where you're coming from, that's very judgmental. I've had trouble enjoying certain movies that others do, but I dont go thinking that it's all about them and not me or my tastes.
Of course it's good to voice how you feel about things. Just watch out for painting things in a negative light when it can be appreciated too. I think that covers what I'd say in general.
Anything that can be painted negatively can be appreciated by someone. Just look at Final Fantasy XIII. That's the funny thing about subjectivity. I could argue that extreme sexy hiking is a good game and not be wrong because that's my subjective opinion.
Hey, Sexy Hiking is an objectively perfect game and you know it.
Of course, I did not mean to imply otherwise.Hey, Sexy Hiking is an objectively perfect game and you know it.
Sure. There's a difference between saying a game is bad, and a game is not to my liking. One is a claim, the other is truer to being personal.
Well, considering Activision and EA's latest strings of sales busts and consistent stock decreases, it's good to see that gamers are putting their feet down finally.
Now it just seems like all the stuff they said is false and possibly leading to leakbait. Verge can make a comeback if he gets something right again, but he probably won't be taken as trustworthy as the time he got Incineroar right.
There's not so much difference as you might think. Most often a game is not to someone's liking because they think it's bad, and regardless of the subjective nature of it all they have every right to think so. Personally, I would not argue that 13, for instance is simply not to my liking, but fundamentally flawed as a game, right down to the story and characters. I would also argue that it is the prettiest hallway sim I've ever seen. That's not to say that people can't like and enjoy it, however.
When did he hint at him being an assist trophy?
Oh, see, I thought the figure was a Steve figure, but it turns out it wasn't. Telephone game messed with my head again. That means it isn't for or against Steve's chances. It's just there.
And you're free to have those opinions. It doesn't mean there aren't much better ways to think about it.
I'm not sure if you know, but reviews can be entirely objective. Most opinions are based on how that individual feelings about something, but there is such a thing that exists as a list of requirements for your product to be good. That is objective, in the sense that everyone agrees that these certain 'subjective' things are universally important.
Can attest that, yeah, if we were to go on about the many facets of what makes a good story and therefore, a more attractive video game because of its draw, we'd be here forever. I write and I create art, both to a point that I've honestly considered making a career out of it (but definitely won't). It's so full of different factors, caveats, nuances, and considerations that it'd take forever to go over it all.
I disagree on a few things, but I understand what you are trying to say.
Just so you know, when I was referring to RT there, it actually honestly had nothing to do with the recent controversy around them. Fortunately that is turning out to be exactly how it should, thank goodness.
I agree with this! A good game takes great story development, character development, a fun genre, and most importantly the soundtrack! When Bungie was making Halo 2 and 3, they didn't care if the graphics looked bad, decent, or amazing, all they cared about was if it was fun enough for their consumers to buy, which is what gaming companies should be doing and focusing on, not how "pretty" it needs to be. I like how Nintendo's been doing this for decades now; not once have they failed to disappoint me with their games.
These are all nicely drawn. Another cool addition they could've done was made the blue Yoshi as Boshi.
