He was indeed competitively mediocre, but I think it went broader than that, because even from a more casual standpoint, his Melee incarnation just didn't click with people. Most people, at least. So the dislike managed to permeate past just the competitive circle into the more general online fanbase.
to be fair ... Byleth's reveal was... could been better...
The way your wording this makes me think that the next smash game is gonna be a disaster once characters like Cloud, Hero and Cordon are removed.
there would still be the same amount of hate pff
but at least would have been surprising ! even sakurai himslef jabs that people are going to figure that is byleth the second the trailer starts.
At least they didn't do it at TGA. Look at the Nintendo World Store. And those are Nintendo fans.
That would have the worst possible marketing idea, they should try to sell Byleth to those who are not in love with Three Houses, not to the ones that already liked the game and franchise, also announcing it as "Sakurai Present, Smash News" brings way more people to, atleast, see the character before critizing it.
Yes! Glad to have you back.
The trailer definitely feels like it was made to be a bait-and-switch trailer in mind, given how it pretty much reveals who the fighter is in the first seconds. Makes me wonder if it was meant to be scheduled to be played at TGA before Nintendo pulled out.
Language barriers, Sakurai having ties/contacts to Japanese developers that he might not have with Western developers, and the fact that we didn't have many third party characters in Smash until very recently. (the number of third party characters doubled between this game and the previous ones -
before Smash Ultimate, during it)
I think they should have, but probably Nintendo didn't expect FETH to win fan favorite game of the year.
- 10/10 absolutely blew my mind, and came out of nowhere. The only Smash reveal that I had honest, genuine emotional reaction to. The months up to his reveal and release were agony, but it was so worth it to see Joker represented so well, and he plays so great that it would feel criminal of me to not give him a 10/10 - 6 or 7/10 I have very little connection to DQ as a series so I really had no interest in Hero at first, and his gameplay was kinda... meh when I got my hands on him. That being said, his gimmick of mana and Command List was really cool and he was jam-packed with references that reminded me of all the JRPG tropes and I did really love that, even if I'm not his biggest fan - 5/10 I don't hate Banjo-Kazooie, but I have even less of a connection to them then I do Hero, and I was very underwhelmed by their gameplay, unfortunately, but they did have one of the best trailers, and it was heartwarming seeing people's genuine reactions to him being in the game, so that definitely gets points from me - 9/10 oh **** yeah, Terry is awesome! he's one of the most satifying characters to play with so many mechanics from his home game, much like Hero, showing such genuine love and creativity that he easily outclasses the Shotos for traditional fighting game representation. On top of that, his trailer was an amazing celebration of SNK history, and how deserved his entrance was.Well, it's Smash - it's not going to be a disaster. But it is going to be rough when the bandaid does get ripped off that perhaps a good chunk of the cast will not be returning. I mean, Sakurai is even trying to get people to acclimate to the idea now, presumably years before whatever the follow-up is.
they could even tried to misled teh public making them think that it was a trailer for FE3H DLC... saying as "now we are presenting some interesting video regarding FE3H with some details about DLC" or something. (I never said it was FE3H's DLC.)
I don't think that would've spared the reveal from a negative reaction. The Smash fanbase is so much more than those who voted for a FE game.
Let's be real though, 90% of the big fan requests for future games will inevitably be cut veterans. Newcomers that didn't make it into the base roster of the next game won't stand a chance.
By Akira, do you mean the player character from Astral Chain, or somebody else?
That's true, especially since remaining "fan-favourites" make up an incredibly small pool. And like I said, they can rectify some of that with DLC. But, you know, that won't spare the initial backlash, nor will they be able to bring everyone back.
I suppose the biggest thing they can do is introduce gameplay changes on par with Smash 64 to Melee and innovative modes. Or something like that, because they will never be able to top a roster like this ever again.
Or at least bring back other modes. We don't have issues getting spirits(the very long credits gets a bit tedious without a turbo controller, though) as is, so anything like Trophy Rush/Grab is pointless. Boss Mode would be great, same with any expansions on WoL.
- 7.5/10 I love the Persona series, however i am attached to characters that are not the protagonist most of the time and even then, i think 5 is the game i am the least attached to compared to Persona 3 and 4, happy about the music selection and Mii costumes. - 7/10 I like the alt skins and music, not really into Dragon Quest but the MP mechanic with random spells is unique and fun. - 4/10 I am sorry, i have no attachment to Banjo and Kazooie and animal characters are not my cup of tea, i liked what they symbolized to gaming industry and Nintendo, but that is it, easily my least liked moveset out of the fighters pass, nothing really remarkable in it. - 5/10 I am not into masculine characters with muscles, so the moment i saw him (specially after seeing all the potential characters SNK had) i was not really into it, i am Mexican, but i had never heard of Terry before the Nintendo leak. Even if he had a different gimmick, the traditional fighting game style felt old because of the Street Fighter characters to me.
I think that would satiate the competitive crowd (should the changes be well-received), but tbh they seem a bit less character focused anyway than the rabid hungry heap that constitutes the rest of the fanbase.
...Your face is a hand?MFW Smash Ultimate ends and Smash 6 reveals its fighter roster.
Honestly i really don't know how the gonna do it if is not Smash Ultimate Deluxe, or arcade edition, or something. (not that i wouldn't want that an updated version that introduce better singleplayer and stuff that is not fighters or stages is still pretty exciting)
yes astral chain
So a bunch of third-party characters in the vein of Lara Croft or Master Chief?
Okay; I just wanted to make sure since Akira seems to be a pretty common name. We already have Akira from Virtua Fighter in Smash as an assist trophy, for example.
Your face can be anything, but it can be a hand.
