Did he? I thought he said it would take a while...Or was that something else?
Broke: Getting upset because Swankey Kong is in the game now.
He did?
Sakurai has explained his input already. There isn't a list, Nintendo just tells him who to add. He said is allowed to decline a character but Nintendo is the one calling the shots here.
What made you come to this conclusion? Interviews with Sakurai and Yuji Horii explain how Hero was picked. What really happened was that Nintendo told Sakurai that they DQ in Smash for the DLC, Sakurai was reluctant at first because he think Nintendo wouldn't be able to obtain the licensing for the series but Nintendo assured him that they could. So Sakurai went to Square Enix and pitched Hero in Smash to them.
I really doubt an indie fighter this game since what I considered to be the frontrunner for one (Sans) got mii costume'd during the DLC. I can kinda sorta see Reimu getting in but the main issue with her is that ZUN has done nothing to support the Switch really. Him and Nintendo aren't all that close which I consider to be a problem as it seems you need to be pretty close with Nintendo to get a full-on character in Smash. Nintendo doesn't really promote the Touhou series either. Her games not even getting officially localized is also a point against her. Until I see a ZUN-made Touhou game in a direct or indie world or something, I consider her one of the more unlikely indie reps.
Yeah, it's a bit of a roadblock. Still. I'd like to note that Nintendo has sold music at Reitaisai before, so it's not like they're completely unaware of thes eries. There's also the fact that ZUN has stated that he wants Touhou in Smash; Seeing as he's just one guy, I'd imagine it would be a fair bit easier to negotiate the rights. They could probably just go in and talk it over lunch. In addition, ZUN has stated that an AoCF port for the Switch would be considered after the PS4 port (Which is coming... Eventually), so he's at least considering it. I've also heard that apparently Nintendo would "support ZUN in various ways" if he puts his stuff on their systems, though I don't know where. Could someone elaborate on that, please?
I guess CP7 doesn't exist for me then.
I mean ultimately (no pun intended) it’s not up to Sakurai when the characters get announced
It should be
Just thinking of that one. But yeah, Sakurai's just the director, so he most likely doesn't get to control when a fighter gets announced or released.
Now you are speaking my language
TBH, all I think he means is that he would like to get the pass done in a timely manner. I'm sure it would be stressful having a project stretched out longer than expected. That kind of thing can really mess with a person.
Not to get political and off topic but I really want to quickly say
I admire this kid creativity and passion, but holy ****, why dose make his ideals needlessly complicated
Rhetorical question: Literally when would it ever make sense to use that song during a political campaign?
Finally someone who isn't a pessimist.
Still not exactly a good use of the character, if you ask me.
He voices a Nuclear Blast?!
Please tell me someone made this and he doesn't actually dab in the game.
You keep tossing around the word pessimist
I know I have made jokes about how all the Fire Emblem characters gets dismissed as various versions of Marth, but there are people who do feel that they are that samey based on visuals. One of the reasons why Pokemon gets more of a pass is that their designs are radically different in terms of body structure and silhouettes and thus comes across as more diverse to a casual observer compared to Fire Emblem. It’s not the main reason why Fire Emblem gets hate, but the perceived redundancy doesn’t help.
Bakugan is old news We are doing Beyblade now
It's in the same vein as people judging sword-wielders as somehow derivatives of each other based on a shared weapon. It's a purely visual similarity, considering the major differences in actual playstyles. I'm not going to outright invalidate peoples' desire for visual diversity, which is what it boils down to, because I personally support it in terms of preferring a mix of cartoony and realistic additions, and some others do more on identity related grounds... but ultimately I don't feel it's nearly as important as a multitude of other factors.
We're not really in the era of magazines having big exclusive reveals anymore, so consider me surprised if it's a noteworthy title.
Yeah, they have all the different archetypes to go off of, but they only go with the Lords and Avatars. To wit:
I'm sorry for continuing such discussions, but there's also how the majority of them are either zoners or can be played at a distance, Roy being the sole exception. Because of this, I'd say Roy is in a weird limbo of contributing both variety and repetition to FE reps. He's a sword lord and a Marth clone, but at the same time he's the only one who is not in any way, shape, or form, a distance demon. And his hair is red instead of blue.
