I don't think simply improving Smash will be good enough. People are going to be heartbroken when a huge chunk of the roster is cut. I can only see people accepting that if Smash sort of... starts over. As if we are being reintroduced to Smash all over again.
To be fair, 6/36 is a pretty bad ratio.
I wouldn't accept that at all. I guarantee I wouldn't buy that game.
Unfortunately that's how I picture the reception for the next game will be. Even if the next game is mechanically better than Ultimate in terms of everything besides the roster, there will be people that will be upset over it. Sakurai is aware he opened Pandora's Box with "Everyone is Here" and it's impossible to keep the same number of fighters for future titles, let alone increase the roster with the amount we already have.
The difference here is that you don't need to rebuy those games when you upgrade from a Windows XP computer to one running Windows 7. Meanwhile we don't know and shouldn't speculate right now on whether or not the Switch's successor can support its cartridges.
Unless people actually vote with their wallet, does this mentality continue. Shame.
I've thought along the same thoughts for a while - Smash 6 will need to stand out on its own. Not just to make the inevitable roster cuts (and possible compression, like merging Dr. Mario into Mario or Dark Pit into Pit as alts) more palatable, but also to give its own identity. Not just "Ultimate's Smaller Successor". It does depend on which way Nintendo go with their next console - and I don't think even Nintendo knows this answer just yet. For all we know they might be looking at really early R&D on that console right now. It's also possible they haven't even started working on it yet.
About that... yeah, should've seen that coming.
I'd snap your hand off for that. Not only is 10 way more than I expect, but the selection is borderline perfect.
Ew, meh, ok, whatever, neat, great, ugh, awesome, off and great, not necessarily in this order.
I would buy it.
Okay, so my take:
At least it has Waluigi, Crash and Nick I guess.
Just swap Skull Kid with Andy and it's a 10/10 pass for me.
Waluigi: Nah! This may seem cruel to the fans but I kind of like the idea of him getting snubbed every Smash game. He makes me think of DickDastardly, trying to screw other characters over but ultimately paying the price for his devious schemes.
Firstly I'd be OK with 10 more characters after the fighters's pass. After all as long as they will to continue to show further support for Smash.
I would add the female Monster Hunter to that list. Either ways, I really wished MvC:I did a lot better in terms of its character choices as there are so many characters from both Marvel and Capcom I would like to see.
Needs more Elma/10
Waluigi and Phoenix Wright alone will make me hype for it.
I would be cool with all of them.
Out of 36 characters, yes that is a joke. Especially when they had plenty of female characters in the past game where they just cut for no reason, even ones that weren’t X-Men.
It was a joke. A hyperbole. And there was some truth. While there were plenty of male characters cut as well, mostly X-Men and Wesker, it still stands that literally every female character from Marvel vs. Capcom 3 except for Morrigan and Chun-Li was cut. Yes they added some but barely any and half of them were DLC characters.
I’m confused on whose side you’re on. Regardless it seems I triggered a bunch of people on this thread with a simple joke at a roster that almost everyone considers to be objectively sh****, by just pointing out the lack of female characters on it. If it makes you people feel better, yes there ARE other problems with it, such as the lack of X-Men and the cuts of series mainstays Wolverine and Magneto and terrible models. OK? Just because I noted it lacked female characters doesn’t mean it’s the only thing I care about? You can rest easy now.Oh dear...you do know I'm still here
Waluigi: I don't actively want him, but I would be happy with his inclusion
Waluigi: Good for his fans
Waluigi: Sure, why not.
Geno, Bomberman, Crash, Phoenix and Sora are five of my top picks, so already it's worth it in my eyes.
My interest to these characters range from "YES" to "ehh okay". So overall it's a good line-up and I would definitely buy it.
Plus Waluigi's representation is meant to be a loser which I find to be very fun. I'd be sad to see the fanart where misfortune and bad luck falls upon him ends.
If the pass had a name, it would be the “Please shut the **** up Smashboards” Fighter Pass
Every single character is a 10/10 pick, I'd buy this pass in half a heartbeat.
They will just move down the list onto the next "hype never ever"
That's a hyperbole, but I'm not sure why this topic is so popular in this thread particularly.
Probably because cuts end up hurting someone, can sour the mood because people pretend to sound sophisticated to essentially "This character is peepeepoopoo and they should be cut because I don't like them". There's nothing interesting to discuss about the topic as it's been done to death and back
There isn't that much difference between "your character is bad and should be cut from smash" and "your character is bad and should never get into smash", is there?
The former means the character's already in meaning it's somehow more pointless to argue about
All good choices, would buy.
