I could definitely see Ring Fit as a major candidate. Not only because of the parralels to
, but also since she's got a new weapon and thus a lot of room for new attacks. Something Sakurai does like to do with newcomers. Also, it's been doing really well, so if Nintendo is indeed going for promotion with its own characters I could see them pushing for RF.
I find it pretty funny that of all the games to represent the weapon triangle fully, it is a rep from a game without the actual triangle in place.
1st and 2nd rule of Smash Speculation is that you will never have Sakurai figured out.
Didn't you know? "clone" now means "fighter with oddly-colored hair and some kind of blade".
The sad reality of the Smash community. If it isn't a funny-looking character or anthropomorphic like Toad or Crash Bandicoot, then it's 100% a glorified clone.
The thing with Cross is that unlike Robin, Corrin and Byleth, who have their own unique class, outfit and set of weapons. Cross has nothing unique and exclusive to them and their default outfit is used by a number of NPCs. And any weapon that any other character can use, Cross can use. You can have Cross fight with the exact same weapons as Elma.
Twitter is probably the only place you can message Sakurai directly. That'd be why he brings it up.
I guarantee you it's not the only place they look, it's just far more of an understood message then "Stop requesting characters on GameFAQs and Smashboards, losers"
I mean, the man only really seems to use Twitter. It'd make sense if that's where he hears most feedback.
Corrin got a lot of negative responses but I don't remember any press sites making a big deal out of it.
A bit late in the day/evening depending on the time zones, but I figured I'd say:
: 10/10 - I was beyond ecstatic to have Joker in Smash - he was one of my dream wants for Ultimate like how Cloud was in Smash 4; "Wouldn't it be awesome if we got Joker? But it's not gonna happe..." FIRST FIGHTER OF THE DLC PASS. I was sold immediately on him and the pass thanks to Joker. Having Persona content across 3, 4 and 5 is also great and I'm pleasantly surprised by Mementos being a cool stage.: 6.8/10 - I was expecting Erdrick and that he would've been a pretty bland addition but worth it since Dragon Quest is a series worthy of joining Smash. However us getting the Luminary, Erdrick, Solo and Eight was pretty surprising and the craziness of his Command Selection leading to some pretty amusing stuff. The music being the Midi versions sucks however and I was still worried about whether or not Banjo would be happening or not.: 10/10 - Another of my dream wants - I was hoping we'd finally get Banjo and Kazooie in this game and it was amazing to finally see them again. They probably have the best reveal trailer by far thanks to being a self-parody of K. Rool's reveal. They're very simple compared to all the other characters but that's part of the charm of them.: 7/10 initially to 9/10 - I would've preferred Nakoruru from Samurai Shodown as my SNK character, but after seeing the amount of love and faithfulness Sakurai showed Terry and SNK, he's easily my third favourite DLC newcomer. 50 songs and an incredibly unique stage that emulates classic fighting games with a unique flair - lots of faithful animations and nods to Fatal Fury and KOF... Yep, Terry is a blast. 4/10 initially to a 7/10 - I was extremely worried about Byleth the minute he showed up - one reason being that I was expecting Dante and that they were also in my top ten most wanted I was fearing the reaction Byleth would get from the fanbase. Immediate salt. I am thankful that we're not ending Smash DLC on just Byleth otherwise the salt would be tremendous. And even better was that Byleth actually subverted the FE norms by having all the weapons of the House Leaders implemented into their moveset, finally giving us a character able to use all the weapons of the trademark weapon triangle and also giving nods to Edelgard, Claude and Dimitri too.
The same as Megalovania
I can't help but feel like you didn't actually read my post.
Why would he not be? It's honestly funny watching you guys squirm like you can honestly not comprehend why the 8th FE character would be poorly received.
I think it's more saying "We can't add everyone as a fighter".
Honestly, I really, really want Lyn..but I don't think she'd ever get in unless they do a remake of her game..outside of Chrom, only new FE characters tend to get in.
I'd be fine with that. I realized the only reason I wanted Geno ever was due to my love of Super Mario RPG and wanting its Music in the game and not because I liked Geno..I mean, even doing replays of the game after wanting him Smash, I still replaced him the moment I got Bowser & Peach.I also really love the Cuphead Mii costume. I can’t wait for them to add a Geno Mii gunner costume like this that comes bundled with “Beware the Forest’s Mushrooms”.
If an FE 6 + 7 remake is happening according to rumors, here's hoping it's the latest Fire Emblem that arrives before the next Smash Bros. But then again, Echoes was the last Fire Emblem game before Ultimate and neither Alm or Celica got in at launch......Attendre et esperer.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the avatar the only character that can be a Drifter? I don't think costume design and weapon choices would affect their chances. Give them different outfits for their alts, it worked for the Villager. Not having a unique weapon was something I thought would turn out to their favor. Imagine what they did with Byleth but with guns. One more thing, I feel like the way you're describing Cross includes some reasons as to why no one expected Robin in Smash 4.
The Smash team has consistently only added the main character from the latest game in the series. The only exceptions were Melee due to Marth's inclusion, and Ultimate due to Chrom's popularity and the ingenious solution of making him a Roy echo with a different up-B (If you want to split hairs, Radiant Dawn was the latest Fire Emblem at the time of Brawl's release and starred Micaiah, but that game was a continuation of a story that starred Ike, anyway). Now, Ultimate added someone from Three Houses and that game seems awesome so I don't have any problem with that. But it would be nice to see a brand new Fire Emblem character from an older game in the series, like Caeda, Sigurd, or Lyn. Hopefully it happens someday.
Why not? At least Kazooie appears in the default appearance of the character. Can't even say that for Byleth.
Yeah..I'll be honest, I'd have much preferred having Celica as an Echo of Robin with a Pichu-like thing for spells but no limits on them over yet another character off of the Marth template that Chrom ended up being..at least then we wouldn't have 4 frickin' Marths.
Sorry, Sakurai's "Xenoblade bias" run out after one character.
Sakurai said in his latest book that he's not following any internet reactions. So I think all he knows is what is coming directly to him.
Classes in Xenoblade X don't change appearance, so being a Drifter doesn't make them any different from a Full Metal Jaguar and whatnot design-wise. And ultimately, once you master one of the end classes, you can wield the weapon in any class, meaning class doesn't matter end-game in terms of weapons. There's really nothing special about Drifter aesthetic or gameplay-wise.
You'd think complaints about humans would at least result in more complaints about Incineroar's moveset feeling like it could've gone to any human wrestler.
The silence feels wrong somehow.
