If Ultimate would had a larger newcomer roster, like 5 or 6 more characters I think we would have got Elma, Chorus Kids, Isaac, Geno, Dixie Kong and Shadow (as en echo) That would give a total of 11 newcomers + 6 echos = 17 fighters, same number as Smash 4.
I brought it up once. Even if you could get it functioning in the context of Super Smash Bros. anyone who couldn't hear the game for whatever reason wouldn't be able to play the character, and that's a big no no.
I always forget, but were the Chorus Kids actually confirmed to be the ones that were gonna get in?
While Gematsu ended up outdated, it had 'Pokemon from X and Y' instead of calling Greninja, meaning Sakurai had at least decided on who to include going off of how the Rhythm Heaven character was a specific character
Gooigi seems to be the meme pick at the moment actually. I think he dethroned Baboom after we stopped talking about Pokémon.
I really don't think Smash is made with accessibility in mind tbh, but if they did, they could just have a visual indicator of the BGM's beat. That would help not only the hearing impaired, but also people with poor sense of rhythm and not make the character unplayable in a chaotic and loud multiplayer match.
Bangs Table HARUKA AMAMI
The Beheaded from Dead Cells, for one. I made a support thread for him and that got almost no traction at all.
Again, I feel the solution is having the attacks be set and that it'd have both audio and visual cues to indicate when to do the next attack, Chorus Kids especially make it easier to work with as you have 1 kid and during a specific part of the animation, on hit or not, the next kid attacks and during that kid's part of the animation, you have the final one. One issue I see here is hitlag but they've programmed specific moves to do little to no hitlag and even patched them so it'd be much more feasible. The other issue is of course, online play being completely unviable for the character which is why I don't think a rhythm or timing based character could ever work

Pft. Just have online that doesn't suck. It'll be better for everyone.
If one person can't hear then they probably are also unable to play any original Rhythm Heaven game, not just the fighter... so what's the point...
The worst part is: they were so close...

While I'd say it's not impossible to play a rhythm game if you're deaf
I mean, I like it too but not in a million years before way, way bigger mobile games if mobile games are even on the table lol.
It's not even just that, it's that in the RH series there are minigames that are completely impossible to be played without hearing. Some hints are only audio, some minigames have parts when the screen is covered and you have to just listen (like the cloud part of Air Rally).
It's possible for a blind person to play Rhythm Heaven, because it's all about using sound cues and trying to ignore visual ones. Obviously the same can't be said for deaf people.
Sadly I don't trust Nintendo, the company who says "For good online, buy an accessory because we didn't put a LAN cable port in the console itself lmao", to do that as much as it's needed
I have loved ones who are hard of hearing so I see them and others with hearing issues as people who have the right to play video games too and not deserving of being left out because of devs deliberately choosing to make **** too complicated instead of having a much more reasonable timing requirement from the moves
Both are screwed. I'd say that a blind person can get by in a minigame such as Ringside or especially Figure Fighter, but a deaf person has a better chance when it comes to minigames such as Night Walk and Karate Man.
A character from Them's Fightin' Herds honestly, my pick would be Arizona or Oleander. It's a decently popular indie fighting game, but rarely talked about in Smash speculation.
It depends on the direction they take with the moveset, but why not place the visual cues on the fighter's own animations?
I suppose that works too.
I think that'd depend on the attack used, if using say, a jab, have the first hit be a karate chop and part of the animation will have the hand clench into a fist with a quick flash of sparkles or something, if you hit the A button again during that sparkle it becomes a punch, the next cue should be on the other hand and has a similar cue to connect to the third hit, another punch.
The only rhythm game (or rhythm minigame I guess) I know of that doesn't have consistent visual cues is the Drakengard 3 route D final boss. I say "consistent" because it starts out with the glowing rings being an okay visual indicator, but then the camera absolutely goes rogue in the later sections. The uncooperative camera, combined with the fact that you can't miss a single ring without restarting the whole challenge, makes this one infamously hard / annoying.
Ok that's one hell of an example but Yoko Taro's infamous for pulling stupid ass bull****, especially with Drakengard to bully completionists
I think it is very possible we could get more than 100 characters if we count echoes. And I think we would get 5-10 more echoes if we were to get a deluxe edition.
...since I guess I'm the Min Min guy (for guessing her and defending why that made sense), I'll chime in!
First of all, nice choice of picture.
My view on Geno has been:
I brought it up too..
He's actually the Max Brass guy. I'm...not entirely sure why he brought up Min Min.
Considering how close the character is to Samus (to the point where it has all of her Special Moves) I don't think that's the case.
Hm...I must have glossed over that statement somehow because I'm sure I read that post.
Why have that when you can just pressure people into buying a shoddy netcode so that they're not left behind?
