Yep just give Sora, Oathkeeper, Oblivion, Ultima, or you know Sakurai being Sakurai would take it upon himself to give Sora a custom Smash Ultimate Keyblade: Smash Ultima.
Ever since seeing Gardevoir Pokken Tournament, I've always wanted to see how Sakurai would make her play, maybe someday it'll happen.
While there were a few people gunning for Arle beforehand, I do think Terry's announcement definitely helped amplify her support.
I was literally asking to know the character because I didn't get why she was popular. I didn't get Terry either until Sakurai explain what the deal was with the Neo Geo. Not dismissive, just curious.
Are you forgetting that for his neutral special, he wields a FIREarm?
I disagree for obviously, unbiased reason... yep.
To be fair, only 2 of the 10 Pokemon characters are starters who got in by their own merit. Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard are only in because Sakurai wanted to find a way to rep the human protagonists.
Hehe, Gardevoir is pretty much my Third Most Wanted, right below Midna and BDW, so of course, I would be happy, and Pokken Tournament only cemented that love for this character
Sakurai: "I could not possibly give less of a **** about console wars, video games are cool"
Holy cow let's check off every character who uses fire in some way.
I think it's very possible - Game Freak has more to gain by promoting the spin-offs than the main series, the former barely scrapes by and the latter sells so we'll that it doesn't need it. PMD might also count as a "new world", because there's literally no content from it in the game. If we don't get a spirit event this week or next, I'll fully expect a PMD rep.
I would love Grovyle from Explorers and something like Temporal Tower as stage. He's actually one of my most wanted and he's more iconic than Gardevoir or Gengar from Rescue Team.
I'd check off Lucario and Mewtwo and add
because he uses a gunYou people keep bandwagoning grass starters when we clearly need more water types to put out these fires smh.Holy cow let's check off every character who uses fire in some way.
Sakurai this is too much.
Lucario and Mewtwo uses like psychic fire. Check out their attacks. They leave a firey effect.I'd check off Lucario and Mewtwo and add
Mmmm, well, I would be fine with Grovyle, but I feel like Gardevoir is also a good pick on a few reasons
Grovyle would do better as a character, since he's from one of the most popular games. Temporal Tower with Dialga's Fight to the Finish playing in the background though. That would be amazing.
Pac-Man and Namco have a strong relationship with Nintendo. I don't know why people keep saying this. But yeah, having ties with Nintendo means nothing. We're getting pretty much anyone. Well, anyone that Japan cares about. I think that's the biggest hurdle, a Western game that Japan doesn't like.
Hehe, just responded to that, I would be fine with both, but Gardevoir for the win for me for the reasons I stated before~~
more guns and a move called afterburner kick His up tilt is the volcano kick also has a gun lol More fire effectsWolf's gun looks more electric and I don't want to get into engineering discussions about heat, so we'll exclude him.
probably more I'm forgetting how do so many characters have fire god
The sword they have is always glowing like it's on fire, plus they have that big ball move which I think is water but could be fire I guess?
The ball is water, but you're right on the sword. The thing that powers it is literally the Fire Emblem of Fates.
When 2 out of the 5 picks for the first pass were blatant promotional picks for 2019 Switch games, one is a super heavy fan request from a company who seems interested in supporting the Switch more, one is from a company who has heavily supported the Switch since launch, and the last from a company who has heavily supported Nintendo even longer and even worked on a game with them, I think that shows what Nintendo's priorities are.
Isn't this the exact reason why Ivysaur got screwed in Brawl so they just removed Type effectiveness in its entirety in Ultimate?
Wait who the hell was the first blatant promotional pick? Cause I only see Byleth
To be fair, Joker also doesn't have any fire attacks unless you count the muzzle flash of his gun. His side special is a curse/darkness skill.
Hero, duh. I like him being here but it's pretty obvious he's here because Nintendo wants to promote Dragon Quest as a franchise, they published XI and Builders 2, his page is the only one which directly links to a game, and they chose to represent him with XI. You can argue it was Square meddling, and while that's probably part of it Dragon Quest was still Nintendo's idea according to Sakurai, they just pitched it to Square.
I would agree if Gardevoir weren't a Pokeball.
But his side special looks like fire, producing a traditional fiery effect if he hits an opponent. But also yes, he uses guns with traditional bullets--so he counts
.. To be honest, does Pokeball even MEAN anything since there are Thousands of them anyway ? Especially when we're talking about representing a Spin Off where Pokeballs doesn't even exist ?
Idk man Dragon Quest had a **** ton of demand from Japan for god knows how long, is the ultimate granddaddy of JRPGs and was a major influence on games like Zelda, had a Halo 3 tier launch, had Smash include the Western fanfav and Boomer fanfav, had the alt colour for the Luminary be a reference to 8 instead of 11, all that and more makes it impossible for me to consider Hero a shill pick of a port
The same person who makes Isaac not use his combat abilities or Oshawott not use his Scalchop.
I feel like we are correlating shill pick=bad here, I have no problem with Hero being here even as one. Dragon Quest deserves to be in Smash, but that doesn't change the fact that Nintendo had waaaay more to gain having him here than anyone else in the pass aside from Byleth, I mean they gave 5 minutes to Dragon Quest in the last February direct, they literally aired the trailer for DQXI after Hero's reveal at E3, they want to promote the franchise. As for the alt's, that was more Sakurai's decisions than anything else, again all Nintendo really does it pitch the characters and nothing else. It's because of him that we got the other representation in the first place.
I am the only person on the planet who wants Shanoa and need proof of the contrary
I know Geno is widely divisive around here, but I'd think he'd be cool.
