About Waluigi: Alright, whatever then. I just don’t think it’s fair.
I mean, Spirit battles where the Assist trophies in question appear could be an issue. Thy can't disable the assist trophy when it's part of the reference.
Spring Man would open the door to many characters already in the game, and would fall in line with Imran’s comments months ago.
What comments did Imran do months ago?
tbh I don’t think the background pattern really means much. While it matches Spring Man, Max Brass, and Springtron here, the same pattern is used for every character when selecting them in the character select menu, as can be seen here.So someone analyzed the background of the announcement tweet and if it's a legit hint then this means the ARMS character is either Spring Man, Max Brass, or Springtron.
He made two comments. One in January, one in April.
He just said that we shouldn't expect a third party only pass, wording his comments in a way that (to some people) implied multiple first party characters were coming.
But choosing Robin doesn’t disable your opponent from picking Chrom.I suspect Sakurai is going to go over how adding Spring Man was no issue pointing out to assist disablements like Alucard, Moon and Knuckles on stages as well as
Hmm, this is a good point actually.
I wouldn't say so. They would join speculation, but they would still have to be evaluated on their own merit. Really, there's only two or three realistically choosable candidates that would join speculation, and I'd expect a maximum of one to get the upgrade even if the pass was mostly 1st party (which there isn't any indication of either).
And neither Scorpion nor Sub-Zero was all that promoted in the first MK either. That changed later. Liu Kang was on the original arcad cabinet:
How is it wasted time? If the character is Spring Man, then that means that they already had a model and some animations to work with. Plus I don't see why revamping something already in the game will stop Sakurai and the team from doing it. So what if it's wasted time? That is in the past and Sakurai can do whatever he wants with his game.
My point is regarding the final smashes and victory animations is you can play as Chrom yet Chrom can still appear in Robin's Final Smash and victory animation. Same for Mario and Samus if playing them as well.
... not really? It's only a waste if they completely remove the Assist Trophy version of Spring Man and he can just never be summoned as an Assist Trophy ever again. That would be an actual waste of development time and resources.
Still, there isn't really any indication that they're going to swap mascots. Popularity is all you have to go on which usually doesn't influence something as important as that.
My Top 10 likeliest would include (unordered):
If Smash was made during the time of the original MK and a character from that franchise was included, Liu Kang would have been chosen.
Top 5:
How? It's not like they'll be removing the Assist Trophy, at worst they'll probably just disable it when he isn't in play. And besides, Assist Trophies absolutely aren't equivalent to playable characters. I don't think anybody's gonna be pissed off because their character isn't stuck as an Assist anymore.
Turning Spring Man into Springtron would be more work though, as you'd have to edit the Spring Man model. A simple check to make sure Spring Man isn't in the battle would be far simpler. And sure, it's time they could spend doing something else, but it's not like they're running behind (at least, not yet), things like this are likely planned in advance, and it's a detail comparable to all the background cameos everyone's been getting. I don't personally see the issue.
No it isn't. In fact, it saves development time and lets the team develop the characters past Spring Man with more room for comfort.
Gotcha! Thanks! Honestly, I see it more like "who say we can't have one or two first party" than "We will only get third/first party".
A notable insider, former editor in chief of Game Informer, and the guy everyone swears deconfirmed Sora when all they did was take one sentence out of context of a much larger video
We'll just have to remind everyone that two isn't a discernable pattern either. You need at least 3 points of data.
I remember lmao, the worst is that 10 second later he said he believed we might get him or Master chief, in the same video.
We will just have to agree to disagree about Waluigi. I have just never seen the appeal, and every time someone tries to make a case for him it just seems like a reach for why he should be in.
There is a significant difference between the character select screen background for Spring Man and his other background, mainly that the white swirls are more closer to the magenta swirl and the white swirls don’t converge until the tip. Also, one of the magenta swirls fade in the former background.
