Isn't that what we're doing anyway?

I wouldn't say that I've given up. I just decided that I don't care anymore. I'm over the Smash fanbase's petty behavior and acting like spoiled children when they don't get their way! Especially when they're so blind at how good they've got it when compared to other fighting games. "85 characters? 114 stages? Tons of game modes? 1000+ music tracks? Nah, that doesn't matter, let's just spend a year plus talking about 1 or 2 characters that I don't like and judge the ENTIRE game by it!" Or the fact the people still take obviously fake leaks as gospel despite ALL of them being proven false for the last couple of years. I'm just... so done with it all. Smash Ultimate is a rare example of something where everything somehow appeals to me, and that's why I'm so passionate about it. Now, I barely care about the final character. Even if it's someone I like, they're just going to be hated for the simple fact that they're the last character, so it's going to taint whatever joy I might have at the reveal.
This is how I honestly feel too my friend. I love Smash Bros/Nintendo and I pretty much love every DLC character they added in except for like 2. But even then I don't go onto forums hating them because they don't appeal to me but I can understand why Nintendo chose them and they appeal to someone. It's honestly why I never come to Smashboards, Smashgamefaqs, Smash Reddit, etc; just a bunch of spoiled adults who want to hate what someone else likes and they want their opinion validated. Like some kind of religious cult. But there are cool people mixed in. For me, I have more than enough cool characters and content to satisfy me in this game but some people just want more and more. I'm honestly glad that DLC is ending and I really mind who the last one is either. But just remember my friend, the haters are the minority and there are a lot more people out there who love Smash Ultimate who don't go onto forums to spread what they dislike.
Yeah, I noticed that Sakurai said that he tries not to connect with other games because people will always think its character is going to be in Smash. He had mentioned this before in a previous interview.
That was such a wholesome session
In a vacuum it's a very similar circumstance, and at first I was thinking it sounded like a pretty non-answer. But then they repeated it multiple times over the cause of one week and my thought became: "They are drawing way too much attention to this statement for Hayabusa to actually be in Smash".
It could also be because Nintendo is preventing all these leaks from happening. They seem to be very careful about how people are finding these things out.
The whole game?
I don't think I can pick any specific parts of it as my favorite bits. The entire crossover is spectacular! Smash Ultimate is the Disneyland of video games!
I don't really have a specific favorite one but I do like seeing different NES characters together. Nintendo was the king back in those days where so many games were able to shine on their consoles just like their own games. Seeing characters from back then come together in Smash feels like a tribute to a great era for the company.
Every game on the NES (and partially the SNES), no matter if it was 1st party or 3rd party, they all purely felt like Nintendo’s thing, that’s one of the things that makes the console so special for the big N’s history, other than being its first home console, of course. Naturally that kind of vibe is now long gone with the more modern consoles like the Switch. But yeah, that’s pretty much one of the main aspects that makes 3rd party NES icons such as Ryu Hayabusa, Bill Rizer, Sir Arthur, Bub and Bob, the Battletoads, the Lee brothers, etc. so connected to Nintendo, and so worthy of a spot in Smash as well (at least imo).
Exactly! I guess the SNES characters do fit that to a certain degree too (which is also why I support Doomguy).
If we're going by NES icons, Ryu is the only 3rd party character from the NES era that I feel is missing. Him mixing it up with Mario, Link, Pit, Samus, Simon and Mega Man would be awesome for the hardcore NES fanbase (even if I'm not personally into the NES era of games)
Then again, that game is almost 10 years old now and still doesn't have a sequel, so I wouldn't be surprised at this moment. It wouldn't bother me that much now.
I just can't see Sony investing in another Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale game after the last one's mixed reception and poorer-than-expected sales.
Probably because Killzone 1 still sold well to warrant improving on a sequel. But Sony themselves stated that Playstation All-Stars didn't sell enough to consider a sequel, even though it sold over a million copies.
Hmm I always thought it should be the act intro track from the original NES trilogy, but remixed of course.
I did think of the act intro at first but some of the victory themes are usually parts taken from a main theme. So if they're going to have one for Hayabusa, they might as well do the same for him.
That’s true but it doesn’t really happen with everyone. Simon and Mario’s victory themes, for example, come from their in-game victory themes. However since Ryu Hayabusa doesn’t really have a victory theme in the NES games, I don’t think the act intro theme would be a bad choice, in fact I think it’d fit as well.
I believe he did it in DOA5.
He does it in the the first DOA game as his intro.
I see. Well tbh they’re actually kinda different. Personally I much prefer his intro animation being him doing that “spinjitzu” move from the arcade. It feels wilder and more cartoony, thus more fitting for Smash.

Directs have been roughly three months apart for the past while now, and this Fighters Pass is supposed to be done by the end of December 2021, so it's either now or in a hypothetical December Direct where the last character is announced and released at the same time. (which is really cutting it close)
