Nevertheless, he's still stating that Assist Trophies do in fact, disconfirm.
The concept of the ARMS character fighting for the invitation isn’t bad and I like the Ramen shop that was used to hide Min Min, it’s just:
Look at how they massacred my boy.
I'm glad someone did, it sums up how I feel about that fan rule.
I know, you don't know how ready I was to scream when that envelope was in Spring Man's hands, but just like that, all my hope and dreams were all shattered in an instant, I pray no other characters get done dirty like this, but who knows what the future holds
At the same time, Nintendo is choosing what Sakurai at least chooses a character from - he doesn't decide who he's getting (unless Nintendo just wants anybody from a certain game/series and nobody specific) nor which company he's working with himself, though he does discuss with Nintendo - and if Sakurai didn't care about this + how they're changing spirit battles as he explained, he's unlikely to deny based on spirits and whatever and Nintendo likely doesn't care either. I don't see why they would care about stuff they added two years ago, anyway. Min Min's spirit board also has basegame spirits in it. If they happen to want to throw Dixie Kong or whoever's fans a bone, they could.
An assist trophy has much less moves than a playable fighter. And that's the thing: the AT being made playable with much more work put into the character is very well worth paying for since they have to do new animations and everything. I doubt the general audience would be too upset unless they're like the minority of Pokémon fans complaining about Sword and Shield, which are beaten by the general audience.
I'm $30 short now.
I feel we shouldn't be looking at this with a black and white mentality.
I feel if Sakurai wanted Elma, he'd just pull a Cloud and add her in with two tracks. It wouldn't be preferable of course (there would be so much music left to waste with that option), but they already did it with XC2's DLC so it's plausible that they can work that out with her.
They still have a chance, and there's nothing against them having a chance to make it in. Don't give up so soon.
Well except it WAS NOT A COMPLAINT.
Honestly? Yeah, as cool as it was to see them fighting over the invitation, I could go without this particular trend continuing.
It looks like people generally wants a current gen Pokemon (Gen 8 as of this writing) and a third stage grass starter (to complete the starter trio
)., the OG protagonist , the OG starters , and the OG legendary Pokemon . All that's left is the OG villainous team.
Yeah... for the base game. Nothing about that statement indicated that promotion to playable through DLC was completely off the table (again, something Sakurai could've addressed in the Min Min presentation but didn't).
Thank you, my dude. This was articulated nicely, and was essentially what I was trying to say.
This is quite the interesting way to look at it. I never thought of Min Min as the Morrigan of the series. It might truly end up being the case.
It's not out of context though, and those kicks left you a negative first impression. What else am I supposed to see when someone whines that she had some moves shared by other fighters like literally anyone else
Smash fans can't be convinced to stop going "SAKURAI TALKED ABOUT THIS SO IT'S IN SMASH" after Sakurai asked it multiple times, they'll just find other reasons
Good taste, you have. Good taste.
That's the thing. We likely won't know until after the fact. Prior to her reveal, a lot of people didn't think it was Min Min because she wasn't the mascot. Of course she makes sense now; she was just revealed a few hours ago and Sakurai literally told us why she was chosen.
Again, you've taken an example from before DLC was a thing, and you're taking... uh, liberties with your extrapolation. In February 2014, when that PotD appeared, it's entirely possible DLC wasn't on the table yet. 4's DLC wasn't nearly as premeditated as Ultimate's.
Not a lot of people, really.
I should probably get a white flag ready, but I won't wave it just yet until we see something like Sakurai going into more detail about Spring Man not being chosen in Famitsu or there still not being an AT promo halfway through the pass or something like that.
It's out of context when it's part of a review where I list all the positive and negative impressions and you only take the negative ones and make it look like I'm complaining.
I don't even know what to say about this, at this point I'm not even sure if you're serious or if you're doing it only to provoke me.
Not really, because they've now set the precedent that characters that are not protagonists(even ones that are clearly antagonists) can be called protagonists if the dev wants.
I did think people underestimated Ninjara, it's just that, following the train of logic that would make his inclusion possible just ends up with one realizing Min Min is still more likely than him.
To be fair, we don't know how much Min Min's popularity really factored into her inclusion. We know what gave Min Min the main push to get in was the lead dev's request. If it was strictly Sakurai's preference, it really seemed like Ninjara would've been FP6.
Right. But we didn't really know what Sakurai thought about the ARMS cast. We did know Min Min was Yabuki's favorite, or at least one of his favorites.
I'm just peeved that this whole time I could have just used the Staff on Pauline and spared myself the pain.
Same here. Took me multiple tries to chase her down and not get mauled by DK in the process.
