The Codex Astartes supports this action
And goddamn did it work then
Only issue I see with meter is that in GG, you get meter by moving forward and running away too much punishes you by removing your Tension, how you gonna do that with 3 players at once? Cause otherwise it ain't an ArcSys meter
Hmmmm. We know that they have a way of telling when you're running away too much in free-for-alls (they can ban you for it on online), so maybe a similar feature could be implemented for Negative Penalty. Otherwise, you could just fill meter by moving forwards, towards an opponent, which seems easy enough to implement.
Don't worry about them, Geno fans are insecure because their character doesn't actually have anything going for them, aside from their echo chamber of support.
I'm at a point right now to where the only Pokemon I want are Pokemon I have a deep nostalgic connection to. That's mainly Gen 2 and 4 Pokemon. Gengar would be a cool base game character, but I wouldn't want him as DLC.
I have a friend from Madrid who is a hardcore Pokémon fan and loves Gengar the most out of all the Pokémon.
*Ultrachanting intensifies.*
While Gengar's not my favorite Gen I pokemon (That goes to Kadabra / Alakazam, Yea, I'm a fan of when Psychic was borken, sue me) I'd personally welcome it nonetheless. Especially if it retains some of its (lack of) animations from the Stadium games.
The only issue with this is how Smash is about gaming and Disney representation would be non-gaming. Sure those incarnations of Donald, Goofy and Mickey are from that respective franchise but still. If anything I would think they'd use Riku and Kairi for Sora's Final Smash.
I do kind of wonder if there is a chance that the negotiations with Disney and Nintendo fell through the first time is because Disney wanted Mickey, Donald and Goofy to be included. Sure with World of Final Fantasy, they weren't included but I think it'd be a different case for Smash.
Honestly, a reveal at the beginning would be a change of pace. It would certainly start off things with a bang and maintain interest for the remainder of the Direct to see what's next for other titles. It will maintain momentum of excitement if you announce a Smash character at the beginning, plus it would be easier for Nintendo or Sakurai to get it over with.
I don't think it would be THAT big an issue considering they were fine excluding Mickey twice in both times Sora's showed up in a crossover game.
disney has plenty of games with Mickey in it actaully but hell, why not just use KHs original characters anyway unless Nomura says "No, I dont want Axel to show up"
But Mickey originated as an non-gaming character. Smash is about gaming as Sakurai states. It'll also give people more the reason to ask for Goku.
Tbf the speculation scene is much different because of Joker, Hero & Terry. No one was talking about Master Chief, Doom Slayer, Dante, etc... before Joker was revealed.
Counterpoint: it's OK for non-gaming things to get in, as long as they're not fighters. Look at Dracula, or the nintendogs Spirits/AT.
Does Karin count? There's a spirit of her but she debuted in a manga years before actually appearing in a street fighter game.
Idk, I was just giving examples of non-gaming-original content.
I think people were talking about Dante as early as Mega Man was revealed, and definitely by Bayo's release.
I remember plenty of talk about Doom Slayer before Joker. It just wasn't as dominant until people noticed a pattern without noticing something else about these third-parties: They lean more towards Bayonetta than Ryu/Cloud.
Gaming celebrates non-gaming characters all the time. Look at Negan in Tekken 7, Spawn in MK, or Mike Tyson in Punch Out. The only issue would be like if Mickey represented the Mickey Mouse series and not Kingdom Hearts. Given how Kingdom Hearts, especially the first one, is built off a childhood fantasy of a boy adventuring in Disney Worlds, I can't see the issue as that's an awesome idea for Smash.
Except that Dracula is Castlevania's incarnation not the entire character as an whole.
Gengar's cool and we don't have a fighter with ghost powers yet (pour one out for Decidueye), so I'd be more than happy.
God, the sheer thought of a Mickey spirit gives me chills. Y'all know that Disney would demand he be the most broke-ass spirit in the game.
Same with KH Mickey, Donald, and Goofy.
He's one of the strongest characters in KH so it does kinda make sense for him to be a legendary spirit tbh.
Neither is Mickey in Kingdom Hearts. I mean look at him.
Mickey Mouse Spirit Battle:
Fair point.
Honestly I think that's it.
What about Crash? I'd argue him as well.
Someone here once said a PC series like from Blizzard and whatnot would be another ceiling shattering moment. Overwatch comes to my mind, but I'd lose it if we got Star Craft.
That's where a lot of my most wanted lie, as well (Dante & Sol). Holding out for Sol, but he has to get past Heihachi (who I think is a terrible fit for Smash).
Heh. Mickey went to hot topic.
However, Blizzard might be too controversial at the current moment.
I forgot about Crash lol
"Hey fellas! Did somebody mention the door to darkness?" Mickey as he walks into a room destroyed by Tifa lockhart.
Crash might have been a big deal back when Melee or even Brawl released, but he's fallen off hard in terms of popularity, even with his remakes. Plus, the fact that his newer games are all cross-platform removes the 'playstation's mascot' factor that could make his reveal as Earth-shattering as the other 3.
I’d replace Kratos with Crash and you got it. Crash, Sora and Master Chief are the new big 3 imo. All of them would make huge waves.
Make that the Big 4. I'd throw Steve in there too.
