Never played the series, since it's not my cup of tea, I'm not into rpgish game. There is few exception though Final Fantasy 7. Looked up the guy age 70 years old welp if something must be done it must be done now.
That must be hard to balance desire from Japan fanbase vs europen vs american poor Sakurai.
Pretty sure that those results were already dismissed because of their small sample size, and barely having any actual Japanese requests considered.
The data comes from a small sample of replies to official Nintendo tweets after more DLC was announced. Some replies weren’t even from the country they were counted for.
inclusion I'd imagine Sora is probably the most requested character yet to be in Smash currently with Geno almost being there too depending if Spirits don't deconfirm.According to Google Trends, DOOM is (a little) more popular than Crash in Japan* ^^.
Not the rule, that's true. There are exceptions, and there are genres which have small Japanese footholds.
Welcome to Smash speculation. It never changes.
Yeah you could be right on that.
Eh, newcomers stopped surprising me after Bayonetta said "ask your mom" to Lucas.
Actually, a large point in favor of Doomguy is Sakurai mentioning John Carmack as "the father of the modern FPS genre" in his interview with Normura when discussing prominent game developers born in 1986.
Um, okay chief.
It's painful how much I relate to this.
Oh lord you had to remind me of the Gardevoir/Gothitelle “leak”... that had more holes in it than Swiss cheese
With how high AC is in both Japan and the World, it's weird people are sleeping on Ezio.
And this is why you shouldn't use Google Trends to measure popularity.
Why exactly do people think we're obligated to receive a female character, or that female characters are more likely the longer we go without them?
Well dante can now since 1 and 2 are on the console
That's a very postive attitude to have.
What your telling me a character from a game I've never heard of made it in welp that's a wasted slot
Except Doomguy (and the Doom franchise itself) is far more recognizable than any of those franchises.
I concur. Lara makes a tonne of sense. It's weird, she's one of those characters that just gets swept to the sidelines despite the fact that she's been a huge influence in videogames and media in general. In some aspects she's like Terry Bogard. Terry is the face of SNK and Fatal Fury but hardly anyone mentioned or considered him before the leaks. I think she's got a chance and is worth considering.
That's not what I meant; it's just that I am personally rooting for a female character. I'm kinda tired of anime boys.
And why exactly is that?
Then your wording is what's important.
I honestly think Sora has a chance, but it's incredibly small. He's more of a Disney character than a Square character, so it's possible.
Let's be real here.....Doom Slayer would be either way too OP for Mortal Kombat or just not him at all.
I think this thread over rates the need for recognizably when it comes to character picks, especially American recognizably. I don't think it's as important as this thread thinks it is.
I disagree, the thread has a problem with recognizing characters who don't get talked about here much, it's how Hat Ken exists
Call me crazy, but I would actually prefer to see Doomguy in Tekken than MK.
It's useful on a small scale, but these kind of large scale searches its inherent flaws start to become apparent. Such as "do people google things if they know it?" or something with a very passionate small fan base can throw off results.
Google Trends is a poor method of gauging popularity. All it gauges is how much something was searched for on Google. Few problems with this. For starters, Google is not the only search engine. I personally run Ecosia since I like how they plant trees with their profits. However, the greatest hurdle that this has is it only relies on how often a franchise has been googled within a certain period of time. Doom might have gotten much more searches lately since it seems like every other leak the community latches onto has Doomguy in it. Also, in terms of pure sales in Japan Crash trounces Doomguy.
Also this.
I don't think this thread even knows what't recognizable in America.
I've never played it so obviously it doesn't sell well
