On top of that, I've seen really heavy anti-Tails sentiments in the past 3 years on the sites I frequent, and he's my favorite character ever so it breaks me heart in tiny pieces...
I just want to break down into tears...

Everyone bashes the characters they don't want. I'm a huge Dragonborn supporter, and that support thread gets very little action since people favor Doomguy. It's frustrating.CaptainAmerica I'm not okay. The gaming industry hits me with nothing but slaps in the face (I'm the one guy who HATED Breath of the Wild), and I don't really have anything to keep myself going outside of games.

I had a very similar experience with Smash 4 except I was almost totally antisocial at the time >.>Everyone bashes the characters they don't want. I'm a huge Dragonborn supporter, and that support thread gets very little action since people favor Doomguy. It's frustrating.
I remember when Sm4sh speculation was big - I really got hard on the Ridley and K.Rool trains. Both really deserved it, they both had huge fanbases, and then Ridley got dangled in front of our noses the whole speculation cycle, only for the "Ridley's a punching bag!" to be thrown at us over a year after he was first teased. They could have started with that, but they didn't. It hurt. Plus the Mii costume for K.Rool, and then announcing Bayonetta won when there was very little support for her online were odd. It did come out this year that the ballot didn't really affect Sm4sh much.
I was really disappointed by Sm4sh. It had a bunch of newbies I didn't care about, it cut the characters I liked, and there was almost nothing to do for single players except for the same battles over and over. That was also at a time when my friends were all moving off into their own directions, so I never got a chance to play with my friends either. If I wanted Smash, I just kept playing Brawl until that disc got scratched. Also, there were other games that I had loads of fun with, and Smash just stopped existing for me until this new one got announced.
There'll always be new games out there. You don't need to play a game you don't like, and things will get better with time.
Every franchise starts to run out of steam eventually. The best ones are the ones that allow you to go back and reexperience the old ones. I just recently wiped my BotW so I could run that again, and I've got both Skyrim and Fallout set up for a full-scale run through. I get way too into those type of RPGs, so I need pretty well a free month to sit down and do nothing but experience another world...and plan exactly how to make my character before I even set foot.I had a very similar experience with Smash 4 except I was almost totally antisocial at the time >.>
Thing is, almost every game I once loved has disappointed me in big ways lately. And those that haven't are kinda meh franchises in my eyes. Kingdom Hearts is the only big one left for me to enjoy, but after KH3, how many years will I have to wait for a new one? Maybe I'm greedy for new stuff I genuinely want, but I'm hurting for money and always have been. If I'm buying games, I should really like them, you know?
Further, the gaming world has become a bit too hardcore for me. I can't feel as good at Smash as I used to with the existing characters I like. But if I had gotten Tails, I'd have stopped caring about being good and just mained him for the joy of it. As it stands, I have no viable main based on my knowledge of the last 2 games, and I'm not going to resort to a character I don't like because that's not fun for me.
I can only play old games so many times before I get restless for something new. And when I realize I won't get anything new in the vein I like, I get depressed. I mean yeah, things can come back like with Mania, but that doesn't happen too often. Doesn't even look like Mania will get a sequel (because Sega doesn't like money, honestly).Every franchise starts to run out of steam eventually.

I still haven't decided if I'm gonna get the DLC - it'll really depend on who else is coming. But Ultimate? There's one character who sold me on that, and it's Squirtle. I'm disappointed that Link's right-handed now, I'm disappointed that the graphics are really cartoony and cel chaded, I'm disappointed in some of the decisions about the game, but I've got Squirtle back (as long as I mute the trainer since they gave him a really obnoxious voice).
Just remember, if you want to sit Ultimate out, you're free to do that. There are loads of other games out there, and you may even find new ones you like (I got really hardcore into Dragon Age just by seeing some YouTube videos on it). There'll always be a place for you with the Tails support group, and we're not going to stop supporting him.
There's more Characters i want than just Tails[He's just my Top Pick] Amaterasu being one of them!I have found a way for Joker to not shoot down Tails' chances!
I highly recommend supporting other Capcom hopefuls for DLC. Such as Amaterasu, Phoenix Wright, or Monster Hunter.
I have other picks, too, but I feel so strongly about Tails that anything I get feels like a hollow victory without him ;-;There's more Characters i want than just Tails[He's just my Top Pick] Amaterasu being one of them!
Plus there's always the option of modding down the lane. Someone has already found a way to mod music in Smash Ultimate.Dude, are you okay? If you need to talk, we're here for you.
I'm just gonna keep hoping, but I never really had much confidence in my favorites getting in - I got burned by Sm4sh. There are still four characters to go, and Sm4sh had more DLC than is confirmed for Ultimate, so they may end up giving us more. And remember, everyone thought Ryu was never gonna happen since Capcom already had a rep and couldn't get another. Unless Sakurai comes out and says that third party companies can't get another rep, it's just a fanrule people use to bash other peoples' picks.
To tell the truth, I never really expected Sonic to get a second rep as part of the fighter pass. Sonic's already got two stages, so getting a third would be excessive. We could definitely use one since a lot of the music is urban-themed, and the two stages are both Green Hill, but I'll make do. But Tails would be a great choice if they decided to throw some quick echoes in outside of the pack characters. I do expect at least most of the third-party Mii costumes to return, so there's still that.
I don't do mods. I don't wanna brick my console after a system update or whatever. Besides, playing as a fake version of your character is just living a lie, imo. (Which, I guess Mii Costumes are kinda the same, but they won't brick your console...)Plus there's always the option of modding down the lane.

So, what you're suggesting is that Tails won't appear in the background of Green Hill Zone if he's in the match?It seems that Knuckles can't be spawned in for Assist on Green Hill, so he can't be there at the same time on Green Hill as a cameo and Assist.
I'm not suggesting anything, I'm just mentioning that Knuckles can't be in 2 places at once.So, what you're suggesting is that Tails won't appear in the background of Green Hill Zone if he's in the match?
I guess that bodes well for Tails then.I'm not suggesting anything, I'm just mentioning that Knuckles can't be in 2 places at once.
If anything, this is a descrace, I can't make a Knuckles & Knuckles joke...I guess that bodes well for Tails then.
I'd say it bodes ill. It shows less willingness by Sakurai to edit the programming of Green Hill Zone than we'd have hoped. I don't honestly think it'd be that hard, and it's not like it won't be hackable either way. Having Knuckles unable to appear on his own stage is just petty laziness.I guess that bodes well for Tails then.
This is a game where Robin can summon Chrom to beat up Chrom.I'd say it bodes ill. It shows less willingness by Sakurai to edit the programming of Green Hill Zone than we'd have hoped.

You think it’d be easier to deactivate the GHZ spawn instead if an assist was in play...It seems that Knuckles can't be spawned in for Assist on Green Hill, so he can't be there at the same time on Green Hill as a cameo and Assist.
Of course; Sakurai loves Chrom and will stick him everywhere he can get away with.This is a game where Robin can summon Chrom to beat up Chrom.
I already didn't care for Mega Man but my freaking god, why are all the OFFICIAL people such *****? It's like they want to make enemies and lose potential sales.Did the Official Mega Man Twitter just throw shade? We ain't wavedashin... (I understand its a joke, but it did catch me off guard for a second.)

That’s totally just a “Fox only no items final destination” meme joke. Though in poor taste since Tails is completely out.Did the Official Mega Man Twitter just throw shade? We ain't wavedashin... (I understand its a joke, but it did catch me off guard for a second.)

It's gonna get very quiet here unless something happens to make us think he does have a shot. Or his Mii costume releases. Or Smash 6 is announced....So what's gonna happen here now
since most people here believe Tails
won't be playable?[Considering the thread name]
Despite i still think he has a shot.
That's interesting. I think this is the first time AT appearances are modified based on outside influences to my knowledge.It seems that Knuckles can't be spawned in for Assist on Green Hill, so he can't be there at the same time on Green Hill as a cameo and Assist.
It's not impossible. The Fight Pass was never stated to be the only DLC we're getting, though it's possible it could be. Still, during the previous game's DLC cycle, we did get some surprises, so there is always a chance for it. Personally, I'm going to expect the minimum, that way anything that does get added on will be more exciting.I don't want to get anybody's hopes up, but I thought of something. What if we do get standalone fighters in addition to the fighter's pass, and with Joker being kind of Sega-ish, they end up releasing Tails as a standalone at around the same time? (Kinda like... what was it, Roy & Ryu? Something like that did happen in Smash 4, I think, but not from the same company)
It's probably a fever-dream of an idea, but it could be kinda like a mini-Sega wave, with Mii Costumes and all. Sigh... I can futily dream...
With Ken drastically stretching what an Echo is, I could settle for Tails getting that treatment at this point. Tweak some of the stats so he's a tad slower, since Ken shows echoes can be different speeds, and give him the flight ability, Chrom shows echoes can have a unique move, and that'd be good enough at this point.I wasthinkinghopingwishing that they'd just decide to throw in bonus echoes with Mii outfits. They did like to release the last group in packs of 8, and then do a group shot of all of them together. It'd be fun if they made a pack with returning third party copstumes e.g. Megaman X, Zero, Heihachi, Lloyd, Monster Hunter, Geno, and Knuckles, and then included Tails as a Sonic echo as a bonus character to round off the eight.
I know I'd actually really like Tails as a Sonic echo. I don't play much of the hedgehog, but I know Tails best from Sonic 2 so it would be a fitting kit.
I honestly thought echoes always could be different speeds...for some reason ^^;With Ken drastically stretching what an Echo is, I could settle for Tails getting that treatment at this point.

I don't know, it's pretty weird. You have echoes with unique moves (Chrom), differing stats (Ken), unique properties (Lucina) and yet somehow characters like Pichu and Young/Toon Link aren't categorized in them.I honestly thought echoes always could be different speeds...for some reason ^^;
Young Link and Toon Link are not echoes because they are so different from the standard Link, especially after the latter's moveset was changed to reflect Breath of the Wild.I don't know, it's pretty weird.

True. I should have clarified that I meant of each other. I haven't unlocked Toon Link, but Young Link does feel pretty similar to how Links played before.Young Link and Toon Link are not echoes because they are so different from the standard Link, especially after the latter's moveset was changed to reflect Breath of the Wild.
I actually just realized that we kind of forgot that Smash 4 began with no 3rd party Mii costumes either. I think that should at least put some credence into 3rd party costumes returning at some point. They're likely still content that needs to be somewhat talked to with the companies even if they're not as big as actual 3rd party characters.Comeon Mii costume pack. I am hoping for you... at least you kind of felt like Tails (& Knuckles). I also wish they did more costume for characters (like Wario, Alph for Olimar, and the Koopalings for Bowser Jr). It would be nice to have at least a Shadow costume for Sonic as well.
