I think Smash is long due for an anime fighter, and if Nintendo/Sakurai thinks it's a worth investment, there isn't any better character than Ragna from Blazblue or Sol from Guilty Gear.
Those kinds of characters already have a negative reputation from the fanbase, especially if they have blue hair and exclusively use swords.
There are very few franchises that would be exempt from Sakurai wanting them in. Guilty Gear has just as much chance as any other franchise. If Sakurai wants them in, he'll do what he can to do so. Do I think it likely? Probably not. But with how many fighting game characters being mixed in, I wouldn't be surprised if a GG character made it in with the rest. They'd actually be pretty nuts with how much mobility (land and air) the franchise is known for. I'd be kinda scared. lol
Out of curiousity, has Blazblue had any influence on gaming on it's own? Cause I just see it as another example of Guilty Gear's influence
It's not like Isabelle couldn't have been built more off Villager, though. What happened is she was probably in the first batch of newcomers chosen, with clones usually added later. So they put more effort into her since she was intended to be included from the get-go.
I imagine the post-pass characters have been known internally for a while at this point, were they comfortable filming the announcement this summer. They don't have to be characters that largely re-use assets to be revealed with or shortly after FP5. If we assume that at least three characters are worked on simultaneously, work on the first post-pass character could've began as early as August, when Banjo was probably finished.
I couldn't personally say. At most I could say it popularized the modern day "aesthetic" of anime fighters of using 2D sprites on fully rendered 3D backgrounds and using a ton of VFX. Blazblue is just one of those games where I feel is just popular enough and representative of the genre that when people think "anime fighter," they think of that series first.
So the Monsun leak might not have been trolling after all. But ultimately we don't know. Maybe Gordon could be #5. Maybe not.
I don't know. I believe that a Tales rep isn't happening for Fighter 5, that's for sure.
Eh, I think the 'anime fighter' designation is a bit too loose to really matter.
You could just look them up and search for gameplay y'know.
Yeah, I already cracked their pass code. I’m not a leaker but I’m a very analytical person. The pass characters are ones from series that have never dipped their toe into smash ultimate, which is assured by former Nintendo President, Reggie. This easily gets rid of Tekken and Tales of reps. My prediction is that the Rex costume is a hint towards Kosmos, as she cameos in his game and is easily appealing to those who purchase the pass for the Rex costume. Nintendo is trying to make their dlc appealing for their buyers and they’ll go for those kinds of surprises.
I think that Heihachi is more likely than KOS-MOS.
Well it's a good thing Sol wields a big ass lighter and has either brown hair or black fire as hair
He ironically screwed himself by his mii costume appearance in smash 4.
That doesn't mean that they can't upgrade him to playable, and there's also other Namco Bandai characters too.
We're seriously considering Gordan Ramse-Oh you mean Freeman.
Just ask the fighters in the smash pass. None of them are from series with any references in Smash until the pass dlc.
You're just sticking to stupid patterns that they can easily break.
Its heavy emphasis on storytelling and multimedia branching narrative is unlike anything I've ever seen in a fighting game.
The only thing I even know about Blazblue lore is this video:
That’s because Gordon Freeman looks so ridiculously real.
That would be a great argument until fighter four was announced... Denying the pattern is denial at this point. Reggie sneakily leaked us critical information and the information was true. He was involved with the business decisions in the pass.
Maybe I worded that wrong lol. I meant a character like Piranha; not technically part of the next pass, but just a bonus for buying said pass.
So... all I literally understood from that was that there was a library.
Same here actually. for some reason I thought the name Gordon Freeman was some real life actor or something, it sounds like one at least...
Isn't Terry's jacket completely animated by hand instead of leaving it to the physics engine and doesn't Terry himself not have a T pose as a default but rather an A pose? If we got that level of detail to reference how godlike SNK's sprites are then an Arcsys character would absolutely be animated like an actual anime character with smears and ****
Because his name is like a few letters off from being Morgan freeman. The actor.
Does he? I didn't know that.
Interesting. Though it could also be like the DMCV leaks, where the guy had legit info on that game, but then also made up an entire reveal trailer for Dante in Smash to add to the rumors.
It’s not really my rule. It’s literally established by Nintendo themselves. It was communicated very sneakily.
Yeah that was a grade A **** move, LMAO.
No. Reggie's comment was just poorly worded and subject to multiple interpretations. I went over this months ago.
Because it was on purpose. By looking at the actual fighter.’a pass, we what it actually means.
You've done this **** before and I'll ask the same question. Prove it. Show me the evidence you're right.
