Again, Nintendo has shown they are indees very dumb. "This is gonna be the last Chibi Robo game unless it sells decently, let's proceed to not market it at all. In fact, let's not market any of our new IPs at all, making them flop, which would reflect to us that nobody wants new IPs and just more Mario, Zelda and Fire Emblem"
Except Joker was decided at the last minute at the game awards. If they didn't we probably would had waited until January as we did with Byleth.
Ehhh, Mewtwo wasn't a newcomer though, people were outright pissed when Mewtwo got 'replaced' by Lucario and Mewtwo consistently topped all the fan polls, being a veteran does that
It's not about "needing" a new character or series representation. It's about taking opportunities to add characters from newer games.
Or in my case, wanting mons that I consider far better representation of the series than Incineroar.
On top of that, Mewtwo was a long requested veteran that had a special status as the only non clone character cut from Melee to Brawl. With Dr. Mario getting in, outcries for his inclusion were stronger than ever at the time of his reveal.
A lot of his statements seemed pretty safe. MK11 showing up at TGA, BOTW2 not showing up, and the smash reveal not being at TGA seemed like safe choices to go with. Even the direct on Thursday tweet could've been a guess as there have been cases where directs follow after Pokemon directs or at least that's what I've heard. I think this person just got lucky with Byleth.
I've seen a lot of people claim Joker was a last minute thing for the game awards yet I haven't seen any evidence or sources for this. Animating a trailer and working with voice actors requires a lot of time. Joker's Japanese voice actor in particular is popular and busy. No way was this decided at the last minute, it was clearly planned for some time.
Yeah, what was the list of "rules" that have been changed? I'm also doubting we'll see Spirit and ESPECIALLY AT upgrades. The former I feel has a slight chance, since they don't have a major gameplay influence outside of stat boosts in some gameplay modes.
ect.
Nah fam. The best way to do it is start off with another Fire Emblem character. However it plays out, don't know, don't care. Before the FE character can grab the invite, you hear a motorcycle's brakes screeching and Travis Akira-slides to steal the invite. "Fat chance you're getting in, time to show the good boys and girls how awesome sword users can REALLY be"
Fire Emblem: Pretty popular.
I need Lorenz to get punked by Travis, Gwen. I need Lorenz to get ****ing owned.
I REALLY want this to happen lol
He also could have quietly deleted tweets that didn't line up with reality. I remember that there was (is?) a twitter account that allegedly predicted every outcome of The International (Dota's annual grand tournament), but in reality the owner had hundreds of these written in advance and simply deleted every tweet that didn't line up with the results.
I mean, as much as we all want Lorenz to get ****ing owned, Travis is a significantly worse person from the get go lmao
I think that's what makes it hilarious. Travis sucks. He's the worst. But also, everyone loves seeing Lorenz get bullied.
I just think that once you are in the game in some way, that's it. I have not seen any proof that Spirit/Trophy/Stage Hazard/Background Characters will become fighters.
For real, Travis is the only character I can think of to break the fourth wall like that, while Sothis and Robin broke the fourth wall with swordies jokes, Travis, one of the most obnoxious toxic nerds in fiction, breaking the wall for one of these complaints is just a perfect thing for him to do alongside his general snarky asshole demeanor
You could say Fire Emblem was... a victim of circumstance.
Really throw people through a loop and swerve a Codec call into a new fighter.
Fair point. If I had to guess then.
I don't think they would actually remove the AT from the game, since Palkia is still a Spear Pillar hazard alongside a Poke Ball. Besides, you are paying for a bigger moveset, a new stage, and music.
It's all I've ever wanted. Just a full on piss-take of a Smash trailer that's stupid, self-referential, bordering on annoying, and stylish as hell. Bonus points if he actually name-drops SUDA51 being in the Brawl credits and slashes the screen in the shape of the Smash logo.
A fighter takes a lot more work than an AT and definitely much more than a spirit, and people want some ATs and spirits as playable fighters, I don’t see why having to pay for the character would be bad. They could even keep the AT in the game and just make it disabled when the fighter is in use - or not care, since the fighter would be more expressive and stuff, so both could be on stage just like Chrom and his anomalies. As for spirits, just use different artwork for their fighter spirit and add the game of origin to the original spirit’s name.
Well, since the pass was decided before Ultimate launched, nothing in the base game was ever going to be a DLC character in the first pass anyway. Hard to argue that we have definite proof that Spirits deconfirm when you consider this.
For sure. That's why most of us doubt an AT in this game game being playable. Spirits might be a different case because they don't have models already and have animation work done on them. And even those aren't super likely, just not impossible.
Well it did happen last year with the gap between Joker and Hero/Banjo. It isn't out of the question. Plus given the Pass is running until the end of 2021 they have to gap it quite a bit.
I mean given the Pass is running for nearly two whole years they have to gap it quite a bit. I see it more likely being June E3 if anything.
How do we know that the next pass will come with stages/music? All we know is that it's another fighter. That's it.
They took the time to ensure Alucard wouldn't show up if a mirror is present.
