DLC pack 4 reveal consisting of Kyo Kusanagi with costumes from all 4 sagas, Japan Street or Osaka at Night stage and a ton of music across every KOF saga.
Not likely at all. Poster mascot Springman's an assist and second mascot Ribbon Girl is nowhere to be found. Usually the face of a franchise is the first to represent it so I don't see her getting in before the two mascots.
You make it sound like the reason for popularity makes a difference here.
Ah, a true man of culture. Personally I'd prefer Andy (face of the series, a really good CO for gameplay alone, good moveset potential) as a rep but Sami seems to be a lot more popular (I blame Project M, ain't mad tho)
To be completley upfront and honest
Ribbon Girl’s a Mii costume iirc
1. Captain Toad with Wingo's Watchtower. Lightning rains down as you climb the tower(probably on the platform as vertical scrollers kinda stink)
Doesn't the post say that the character isn't requested and people would be disappointed and confused to why they were chosen though?
That could apply to any ARMS character. I think the difference between the likelihood Ribbon Girl, Twintelle, or Min Min and that of Mechanica is greater than the advantage "not requested" gives the latter.
Toad was the first non-Smash character to get an amiibo. Shovel Knight was the first non-Smash third party character to get one.
Touhou is not just some loli game, only if you look at only ZUNs art can you maybe think that. A lot of the girls are older teens or older women.
Way to be a negitive nancy. Whats wrong with our suggestions? What would your better nintendo pass be?
Alright, I’m down.
I guess the 3 bigger Nintendo stars and 3 ballot winners (and the "special" character) were prioritised over the smaller, more niche series for Smash Ultimate's newcomers. Was there something Sakurai said about "everyone on the project plan being accounted for" somewhere? If so, he must have decided as far back as the 2015/2016 planning to pass on reattempting the ol' Rhythm Paradise character idea from the then-recent Smash 4 development period. And this would have been amidst the latest release of the series kinda like how Smash 4's Project Plan was near Fever's release, so it's not like the series would have been anymore of an inactive inclusion at that point than it would have been for Smash 4 (even now with Tsunku stating openness to making a new Rhythm Paradise game, it's not like there's a current blockade at Nintendo against more Rhythm Paradise?). And previously considered but unused Smash characters usually have a pretty good shot at being in the next game (Marth, Mewtwo and Bowser in 64, Wario, Sonic, Snake and Lucas in Melee, and Pac-Man, Miis and Villager in Brawl), with some of the ones that still didn't perhaps having issue with a second shot because they missed the window of relevancy (assuming the identities are correct, Plusle and Minum, Toon Zelda/Sheik?). And further assuming Piranha Plant was supposed to be a part of the base game but was instead made DLC (though this totally could have not been the case?), they could have prioritised the special, surprise character over a Rhythm Paradise representative, though that amount of newcomers would have ended up putting them over their limit anyway then.
What a shame, I really like the character presentations that go into more depths over the characters. But I understand the necessity to replace them if they take too much time from development.
Good point for Marth. Though, since Roy's game hadn't been released yet, you could argue that his inclusion helped promote Fire Emblem 6.
You don't fall for the axe user meme, but you fell for the grass starter one.
I'm not even a Touhou fan but man I don't know how you came to that impression. I know plenty of people who are fans and I'm pretty sure they're not lolicons.
Possibly. If there is a September Direct before Banjo, I think we're getting a short gameplay trailer for the next character, along with a reminder (like the one Joker got) that Banjo releases in fall.
Min Min won the last Party Crash with Ninjara in second. Min Min is most popular but Ninjara is considered the best competitively.
I do think we’ll have a trailer or announcement of Fighter 4 before the Banjo overview video in the September Direct. I could also see a scenario where the Sept. Direct gives the release date of the next Smash overview/Direct with no Smash info in the Sept. Direct. In which case, the Smash Direct would give an overview of Banjo and end with the announcement of Fighter 4.
He doesn't have to go through any of that. He chooses to.
Why though? Looking back we can see how unlikely that is. These things are spread out. Was Hero/Banjo revealed before the Joker overview trailer? No. I don't think we'll see who Fighter 4 is until after Banjo is released.
I think the mech part was added by a random guy to get people to talk about overwatch.
It's not, you can see that they have different posting patterns, first post was punctuated and broken down and the second one runs in the same sentence
Shooters in general have never made many waves in Japan. Also, Doom was also specifically a cornerstone of PC gaming first and foremost, and I could be way off base but I don't think PC gaming ever held a candle to arcades and consoles in Japan.
Keep in mind that these are wishlists and not necessarily a set of characters that would appeal to a wide audience that would normally be picked.
I don't.
I gotta agree actually. The characters listed in a majority of these wish list don't really entice me. A Nintendo Fighters pass would could be great, but for some reason, I'd mostly prefer third parties to see how much outside inclusion we can get. They're generally a lot more exciting, generate more hype, and tend to sell a lot more opposed to first/second parties.
Throw in the gore of some entries and you basically have a series that ticks all three boxes to not do well in Japan. Doomguy would need to be marketable as an individual character and he likely wouldn't sell well in Japan, despite most people getting the whole Pass.
I think Rayman is not in because of his lak of popularity in Japan. From what I've heard Rayman legends for example has sold very poorly in Japan, even after re-release (and re-re-release).
Connections go deeper than that tbf if you really wanna dig.
Not that any of this makes it likely, but it's fun info.Pertinent Translation said:
