I hope one of those is Mario dabbing.
I wanna see first party characters dawg. They're the best ones for me.
I don't think so. Out of all the DLC characters in Smash 4, all but 2 were from JRPGs.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the mii costume theory simply imply companies that had mii costumes in Smash 4 will get a character in the fighting pass, along with some of their older mii costumes? If that theory is true, that doesn't seem to necessarily mean that mii costumes can't be upgraded. Heck, for that matter, not all mii costumes even came back from Sega when Joker was revealed.
Well, I'd like it to be another all third-parties lineup of characters. I'm making this list assuming the rest of the first-party lineup is Banjo, Erdrick, Doom Slayer and Ryu Hayabusa.
Assuming truly does make an ass out of you and me. I mean we still didn't get Shadow as a character despite everything that looked good for him.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn. They could pick other genre characters, too.
Not to mention the sheer sales of Smash Ultimate.
1, there is bound to be at least 1-2 first party newcomers.
However, out of the three third party ones, only Cloud is from a JRPG. Honestly, I don't think these things mean much... but we do need to keep genre variety in mind if Nintendo's objective with the DLC is to "expand the audience", as some have brought up before.
Not all Sega costumes came with a Sega character during Smash 4. Bayonetta only came with the Tails and Knuckles costumes. The Virtua Fighter ones came with Ryu - they're all fighting game characters. There are other possibilities besides linking costumes to companies exclusively, I think. We got three Namco costumes, but no Namco character, four out of the six Capcom costumes didn't come with Ryu, etc.
7/10. The question about first party interests me, for a very personal reason (no need to invoke the Nintendo authority, it's just for sharing). Not counting the Mii, there are a total of 23 first-party licenses represented by at least 1 Fighter. Not counting the 4 upcoming DLC, there is a total of 9 third-party licenses represented by at least 1 Fighter. With 4 new licenses in the DLC, the total would be 36 different series. With 1 new first-party license and only 3 third-party licenses in the DLC, the ratio would be 24/12 (or 2 to 1).
Truth is, I think there are very few big (or relatively big) Nintendo series that aren't represented by a playable character yet. The ones that come to mind are Chibi-Robo, ARMS, Rhythm Heaven, Golden Sun, Custom Robo, maybe Advance Wars/Famicom Wars. Again, most of these are kinda niche and I only bring them up because of high fanbase support, so... no idea, really.
Out of curiosity: why did you group Namco and Square Enix together, but left the others intact?
Sora's reveal would be nuts, and probably larger than 2B. I'd argue his reveal would be maybe a bit more insane than Joker and Cloud just because of how impossible his chances look for him. So to see them actually get him in the game would be nuts.
Dark Matter Swordsman is probably my most-wanted Kirby villain tbh.
Oh, certainly! Kingdom Hearts is a far more larger, more popular, and more established series than Nier. The main issue I see is, of course, Disney's involvement (*cough* *cough* Marvel vs Capcom Infinite *cough* *cough*). Bear in mind Sakurai and Nintendo wouldn't be dealing with Marvel, like Capcom and Sony had to do, but rather the House of Mouse itself. But if they can somehow get Disney on board, that alone is a feat worth mentioning.
It's the first time I've compared the characters. The vectors (save Ganon) are pretty old.
Yep. I was the one who made the post on her support thread about it. Though it remains to be seen if Yosuke Saito was telling the truth or lying since he was never asked about a Dragon Quest character in the interview in question. Doesn't mean we can't continue to talk about her potential inclusion though.
Alright, I was just making sure. I was a bit worried that people were getting their hopes up when things realistically look rather bleak for her. That said, if we get more DLC in the future, I think she has a very good shot at making it.
Obviously when one looks up 2B's skirt, he or she will only see Emil's face.They will censor 2B just like Bayo
Bayonetta's censorship was handled really well though. From what I understand she just doesn't get butt naked, as she still has her sexy attitude and poses, and she still loses a bit of her clothes when using her Wicked Weaves.They will censor 2B just like Bayo
and corrin if im not mistaken...
Are they still in the game data even after the game updated to 3.0?
Whilst I'm inclined to agree, I *can* see a world where someone working on the game was under that false assumption that the Blast Corps and Jet Force Gemini IPs ended up with Nintendo/didn't realise they were Rare games. Since those are the two IPs that Rare haven't done anything substantial with or weren't licensed from elsewhere since being bought by Microsoft
I mean hey, Rhythm Paradise has its Japanese fanbase, no? Seeing that crossover into Smash as well as being a new genre and audience to the game could be worth a look and the last big first party addition we need.
Just taking a look at which Franchises got multiple spirits that aren't already represented, you can sort of maybe get a feel for where Nintendo would take first party newcomers from:
Whilst I'd love the Rhythm Paradise games to get some sort of bigger representation, I would argue that that genre is already represented through Wario, especially since WarioWare and Rhythm Paradise have the same devs.
One of the Halo devs at 343 commented that Master Chief is not in
It's kind of hard to tell whether or not they are keeping things a secret or no due to NDA's and all (though then again, they would probably have to avoid the questions altogether), but it's probably for the best to just take their word for it.
... Wario Ware isn't a music franchise, though. And is shared with Mario and his Land series.
Smash Bros Utimate wants to be the crossover ever created.
It is flexible.
Yeah, I think Bayonetta is in a similar situation, with her games now being Nintendo exclusives through funding and all. Maybe if Astral Chain is successful, we might see a character from that game in a future Smash game?
Honestly... I'd be kinda miffed if that was the case. Ubisoft has a lot of history and franchises that would have "earned" their place in video game history and the one they pick is Rabbids? Like... I get why they would do it: It's a recent, popular-ish franchise that has recently had a crossover with Mario himself, which ended up selling surprisingly well, not to mention they have the moveset potential, but damn, son...
Not at all. The Rabbids are huge gaming icons with the casual public and just gained respect from gamers due to the Mario crossover. While some will try to boycott it, it won’t work as the characters are more appealing to the outside audience to be affected by the Smash community which is relatively small.
Pretty much, a boycott would do nothing to them. Just like Steve, the Rabbids are major characters that the Smash community doesn’t like, but would generate sales regardless as they are huge franchises in the general gaming public, not to mention that Smash fans will buy/ already have bought the DLC.
Eh... if people really were that unsatisfied, I see no reason for them to buy it.
