Terry isn't popular from a typical Smash fan's point of view, but he is an absolute staple in the FGC. Everyone knows his name and legacy over there, just look at reactions towards Geese's inclusion in Tekken 7 for example. Just because something isn't popular within this community doesn't mean it's not popular in other ones, and Sakurai definitely wants to create a game where literally everyone can see characters they recognize. Let's just say it also boosts sales the more accessible you make a game towards other communities.
Lol, wouldn't mind It if that happened.
No, I'm using it as an example of how a transforming character could work without forcing it to be a part of a character change Special Attack. Perhaps using it to the same degree as Double does would jack up load times since you would have to load a lot of modles, but having a character constantly model swapping between a few forms isn't exactly unfeasible in a 3D game. Heck, I'd wager this is exactly what Mr. Game & Watch does with a ton of his moves, and Corrin probably does this with his Counter Surge attack as well. The Pokémon Trainer shows that they can load 3 entire characters without issue. With those three in the game, I fail to see how the fact that the game is 3D would stop this kind of design idea.
As Mr. Robotto said, not being a popular name in the Smash community doesn't mean a character isn't popular. I assume that when you're talking about Terry not being popular, you're talking from the Smash community viewpoint before his inclusion, because if that's not the case, well, I don't think discussing this will lead us nowhere.
I also keep hearing that Hero was originally intended (or perhaps considered is the better word) for base game, but was moved to DLC because the composer was going to take a huge cut, and eating that kind of cost is more feasible for DLC than base game. I don't know the validity of this claim, however.
Sakurai outright confirmed it himself on a DQXIS stream
That sounds like the exact reason to take it seriously.
Oh ok. I guess I just didn't remember.
Yes. Just compare the reactions to Isabelle among casual and hardcore fans.
Well, there are several characters in the game as ATs or Spirits that I think should be upgraded to Echoes, but I'm not going to waste FP slots on them. So...
Luckily the facist prick's gonna die any year now, with his music rights being speculated to be inherented by someone who DOESN'T get anal as **** about music
I guess I should, since you clearly didn't, and just handpicked a couple videos of people breaking into tears about Isabelle and labeled that "the casual response" in your head.
So the idea that every roster character on the base game's 2015 project plan going on to be in the game is bull?
Good thing his heir (Hayato Matsuo) is pro-orchestra over MIDI. He's also not a huge prick. He's the composer of the amazing soundtracks of Panzer Dragoon, Shenmue and FFXII.
Barely, Hero was for business reasons as Nintendo didn't want to give a cut from every Ultimate sale and Plant was too far in development to scrap
Your post made me remember that I still need to try Shenmue 3 or the PS4 ports of the original two games.
That, and also I have recently found a desire to play Panzer Dragoon.
Can you show empirical proof that Isabelle was received negatively among people who play Smash casually?
Where the hell did you get the other 6 from? Plant was seperate from the pass and Hero was always on it since the pass' conception
That's true. But you're the one who first claimed what the casual response was, without any empirical proof. So it's not really on me to disprove your proofless statement.
My IRL friends play Smash casually and they found Isabelle's inclussion nice.
I mean to be fair I'm sure SNK isn't a name that has created waves for a very long time, and anyone slightly invested in the FGC would definitely have a decent knowledge of games in general so Terry might not necessarily be "iconic"?
Shenmue feels a bit dated nowadays, though you should definitely get around to playing it! The game was a huge achievement for Sega, especially graphics-wise. I'd say if you like the Yakuza series, then it's definitely worth playing. It's what inspired it after all. Heck, Shenmue is basically Yakuza but with an in-game clock.
I think the more likely situation was:
[A Gen 7 Pokémon][ARMS][Whoever the heck else]The other 6 base roster characters. I think he was assuming that Hero and Piranha Plant's situations were the same.
The idea if we only got specifically six fighters for the second wave of DLC because that was exactly how many fighters we got in the first wave of DLC and they wanted to double down on that.
I will try to start with the PS4 ports of the first two games then!
Oh I misread it as there being 8 characters being planned to not being in the base, my bad
"Never" seems like a pretty strong word for something so subjective; Bayonetta's inclusion was extremely exciting for me.
Yeah, I was also excited for Bayonetta since she kinda was the second SEGA-owned character to be playable in Smash.
Ah, okay. Two options from me; the financial side(no extra money need change hands as all first party):
