I will never understand how in the world I manage to drain half of my MP in the first 5 seconds of battle.
Has nobody mentioned Necrozma- the only truly "villainous" Pokemon after Mewtwo (who is already a playable fighter), who actively played a role as one in USUM? I get that not many people like USUM because it was like a 40$ DLC but to ignore that amazing boss fight against him would be an insult.
Sakurai’s cute doesn’t mean cute girls lmao. KOS-MOS would definitely fall under “cool”.
It’s okay to want Klonoa, but you have to be realistic. The Klonoa series is super niche & didn’t sell well; I had never even heard of it before he started being requested for Smash.
I mean, is it really in a rut? Championship Edition 2 was pretty great and Pac-Man 256 is a fantastic mobile game. It's only been a couple of years since these, so it's nothing severe.
I'd rather just have some variety again after 2 JRPG reps. Also, I am realistic... But I'm not happy about it in the slightest. Klonoa doesn't have a great chance, It'd be a miracle if he made it in. But at the same time, I'm expecting the worst and for Namco to end up shilling the Tales franchise more than it already has been for the past 5 years. The fact it's overshadowing their flagship franchise in terms of production and how many games are being put out (Tales is literally close to becoming a yearly franchise) yeah.
Pac-Man is being seen as that one IP that "you can't do anything with anymore", So yes, It is severe. They drove him into an evolutionary dead-end and failing to give the fans what they actually want is what is making him spiral into irrelevancy. He's drilling down into the earth's core at this point. As much flack as Sonic has gotten over the past few years, People don't think his IP should die off because rather outragous claims or "He was Mario's rival in the 90's"... yet these same people say Pac-Man is something that has outlived his worth and needs to drop dead.
I have never heard anyone say Pac-Man as a series should die.
Soul Calibur might be a tricky one to translate to Smash moveset because it relies on mixing sword movements together and from what I’ve seen of it, doesn’t really have much in the way of aerial attacks.
First of all, if they put Geno in a Sony crossover, it'd be purely out of spite, which is amazing. They'd have my dollar.
Basically this. I bring bits and pieces here that I'm allowed to talk about and a lot of it is my own speculation on what we talk about in private. What I say is usually vague or speculative because I'm not the source of the Info. This latest incidence was me mistaking Sabi's main Nintendo source speculation/commentary as an actual statement on what was to come. In short, I'm a garbage person who happens to talk to people who actually matter.
I wouldn't really take what Famanonice has to say as gospel.
Clearly you haven’t gone out much, no offense.
Guilty. A vast majority of the games since the arcade era have been hilariously awful. That's why I'm glad Pac-Man in Smash is so charming and well designed concept wise.
I could see if Jin or Kazuya are added as a Bamco rep. They could have a devil gauge, which when full they can transform to Devil Jin or Devil Kazuya and be able to have more powerful attacks, use their devil beam and fly. Once the gauge is finished they go back to a regular brawler.
If we're going to have a new Pokemon boss, it should either be Arceus, the all-powerful god of Pokemon. Or Giratina, who is basically Pokemon's equivalent of the devil.
Sir, I think we are going to have a problem.
Case in point: Raiden, who's playable in the first PSASBR (and high / borderline top tier there IIRC) and a Spirit (Legend tier) in Ultimate. Technically he's the first PSASBR character to cross over into Smash. And before anyone asks, both his All-Stars and Smash appearances draw from his MGS4 / Rising self.
Elated. Mostly.
Getting 4 games on the Switch, 2 of which are new titles gives Agumon a decent chance of becoming playable.
It could happen. He’s certainly unique enough. He’d have to stand the test of time and prove that Fortnite isn’t just some fad, though. Adding in Jonsey now could be a reckless move. Fortnite is popular, but if it loses that popularity in a year and the next thing comes, then that would be an issue.
The rivalry isn’t very fierce nowadays, so I doubt it’d be an issue.
What are they gonna do, threaten Sakurai?
No. That's... quite a takeaway from my post.
Digimon has never been a conceivable threat to Pokemon unlike Yokai Watch. Even in Japan Pokemon crushed Digimon under its heel for its whole run.
The "rivaly" between Pokemon and Yokai Watch seems to be more of a fanbase thing than a thing between Gamefreak and Level-5. The two companies seem to be on friendly terms with each other from what I've seen. At least Hino himself stated that he doesn't personally view Pokemon as a rival for Yokai Watch.
well when I use the quote [so they never be in smash], I mean Sony forcing several companies(singing their character contracts to only psasbr 2, threating to drop studio support etc.) to put their third party characters to be on psasbr 2 instead of smash just so Sony can make money off of it the wrong way.
Pretty much this. We've already had the definitive Nintendo rivalry in Smash since Brawl. Whilst Digimon and Pokemon or Mario and Crash operated in the same spaces, the rivalries always felt one sided.
Ngl I'd laugh my ass of if we ended up getting a Fortnite character, but only if the default dance is their victory animation. The idea of someone winning a Smash tournament and the loser getting default danced on is really funny to me for some reason.
Technically, he appeared in Brawl as a sticker before appearing in PSASBR. Also, before Raiden appeared as a Spirit this time, Heihachi appeared as a costume last time.
I really doubt if we ever get another PSASBR, Sony will fund it with the budget sufficient enough for them to play that kind of superfluous exclusivity hardball with the third-parties.
Bandana Dee
I’d like to see a Gengar move set, I’ve already seen a bunch made for Steve and Bandanna dee.
