Cinematic supers have been a staple for fighting games for over a decade, how was Terry's shoehorned? Or anyone's, for that matter? The point of cinematic supers is to make it feel satisfying to land them and I'd much rather have that than something like Mario Finale or Super Sonic
a base spirit promotion (Shantae for example) would be hype...and now I cry again over the deaths of the likes of Resident Evil and Astral Chain reps...and River City Ransom
February. Byleth reveal and random(ish) Switch reveals and/or releases this month were all we were gonna a get
But watching the video and audio desync during a laggy WiFi match is hilarious!
A hat of the goose.
The flat out said they made wanted to make Final Smashes faster in ****
I wonder if Little Mac will get a higher double jump. Not like he can use it offensively anyway.
Bespoke: Waiting for 7.0.0 for any miscellaneous new features
That's a really cool format. I think Fighter Passes should come with at least one echo, likely first party to avoid licensing costs, since they add value without as much development--as it is, though, I don't expect echoes. My hopes for echoes would be Shadow and Dixie, even if the first is an assist and the latter would not be able to accurately portray her movesets. They just feel missing.
I only know about Persona and BK, and for Persona Jack Frost seems like the best option. Such an iconic character, even for someone like me who is not a big Persona guy. Banjo-Kazooie is more difficult. The best assist trophy choice would be Mumbo Jumbo--he'd transform an opponent into a useless tansformation, allowing people to beat up on them, only able to run away and jump. But since Mumbo Jumbo's already a stage character--technically Humba Wumba would work better. She's the one that does the Washing Machine transformation, and so the opponent would be able to have ineffective undewear projectiles as well. Though, given the Game & Watch situation, there would certainly be a segment offended by her inclusion, I would think.
Persona - Jack Frost
Lol, considering I'm a Joker main, if I get anything, it'll be a nerf
I expect we won't be getting another Nintendo Direct until March.
Gotta say, I've got such mixed feelings about Joker. I've really tried to be good with him, and I AM pretty decent, but he just doesn't seem like the invincible powerhouse that people make him out to be. His Nair and Dair have some uncomfortable startup and he seems to struggle against any characters with reasonable speed that can out-reach his little dagger. At the same time though, I've been wrecked so many times by the absolutely OP combination of his frame data and Arsene's obscene power boost. Also, tournament results definitely lean more towards him being broken, though literally ANYONE Mkleo plays can look broken. Remember Ike? (Though Marss' ZSS actually beat MKLeo's Joker at G7) Bottomline, I could totally see him getting nerfed but I'm still on the fence as to whether he genuinely deserves it.
I can at least see Tetrakarn/Makarakarn getting nerfed because aside from being pretty big moves, they're also reasonable safe to throw out iirc
They theoretically could’ve made Banjo’s act like Snake’s, except that the missiles (Jinjos in Banjo’s case) spawn from where Banjo is standing instead of from the edge of the screen. The smaller Jinjos would probably be weaker hits that hold the opponent in place in the air so that the finishing hit from the Jinjonator can hit them, much like with the smaller lasers from R.O.B.’s Final Smash.
Banjo & Kazooie needs some buffs. I want to act out of Down air much quicker so I'm not a few frames short of recovering.
Bring on any changes last few patches ended up changing nothing I want to see some big meta changing stuff to spice it up a bit.
Part of me hopes it's a series that's already represented by a Mii costume, like Undertale, Virtua Fighter, Goemon, or Cuphead. I don't know how the fanbases in general would feel, but I can't see (for example) Mugman being a playable character with Cuphead being a Mii costume, and I felt like it was a missed opportunity to not include trophies for, say, Heihachi or Akira with the Smash 4 Mii costumes. (the only costume that got that bonus was Inkling)Kunio's spirit event ends tonight or tomorrow, right? Wonder who will be the next vict... err spirit event.
They'll probably do a tournament event with Byleth if other character release events are anything to go by.Kunio's spirit event ends tonight or tomorrow, right? Wonder who will be the next vict... err spirit event.
I prefer cinematic final smashes for that reason, though if there are going to be a lot of non-cinematic final smashes, I would like to see DLC characters with more variety--only incorporate them if they're balanced (not to easy or hard to avoid). And only if it fits the character--Super Sonic and Pac-Man's final Smash are important given how iconic those versions of the characters are. I think Crash shouldn't have a cinematic final Smash, for instance--he should be wearing an invincible Aku Aku mask for a limited time, and Crash could run into opponents. I think transformational final smashes are fine, so long as they're short enough. And while Sakurai did say he wanted shorter final smashes, that didn't stop Peach from having her final smash in Ultimate stay as is.
Pit buffs...which I know won’t be happening...but I still dream
nah calling them victims was rightKunio's spirit event ends tonight or tomorrow, right? Wonder who will be the next vict... err spirit event.
Amen brother.
Wait, did I miss something here?
Copyright renewal I guess?
That's it. Or more precisely a new one. There were a renewal of "Golden Sun Dark Dawn" a few days ago, 9 years after its first copyright, so basically usual stuff. Nothing to see here.
From what I've heard watching some competitive Smash players, Ultimate is one of the most balanced Smash games, so Sakurai should feel content. I have my personal gripes--it gets annoying hearing competitive players saying "
is trash, they're like high tier." But I recognize that is not the audience the team is balancing for.
Granted, Ultimate is by far the best balanced Smash yet, however there are some glaringly terrible characters that could use some love. At the same time though, I can understand why Sakurai wouldn't want to disturb the delicate balance too much.From what I've heard watching some competitive Smash players, Ultimate is one of the most balanced Smash games, so Sakurai should feel content.

every character is an If until considered otherwise. Especially because characters have already been picked
We're getting over the 80 characters mark with only a handful that are Echoes compared to other games like DBZ or Naruto where some characters are wildly unbalanced and feature 7 or 8 of the same character. This game is the epitome of perfect balance by comparison.
I know we were saying that the DLC from the last pass were pretty niche, but at least they were heard of. SSX is very niche. And Age of Empires will never get in as a PC game rep when you've got the most well-known PC game series in Warcraft that you could get someone from. And other than Borderlands, the rest of those are virtually unheard of.
There is also the important fact that Banjo was owned by Nintendo (the bottom of the back cover of Diddy Kong Racing pretty much proves it). This simple but important fact alone puts him in a unique situation incomparable to pretty much any other third-party character ever.
I like Nero a lot but Nero getting in before Dante won't happen, that would be like having Akuma before Ryu
Truly a shame. SF3 era music is my favourite in the series.
tbf the point of instant kills in Guilty Gear is... exactly that. They're instant kills with a cool cutscene. Sol's one would fit so well as a final smash if you ask me. And yeah, I think that if somehow he's DLC Sakurai would make his final smash a literal kill, faithful to GG Xrd. I could see Sakurai literally copy pasting this like he did with Joker.
Yeah, in nine years. When most of us will have to be busy with something non-game-related.
This would actually be a good explanation for why his theme is a part of the challenger pack.
I remember how much of a pipe-dream character BK were considered.
Oh, I know that these games won't be in the pass. I only wrote that to start new discussions instead of always talking of the same things.
