And he did the research....gears are most commonly used in the games....
One of the most common things that the fanbase commonly fails to understand is that perceptions vary from country to country, and in the case of this country perception vs this other country perception, Megaman is a Japanese character so it makes sense that Sakurai goes with what he perceives of him. Plus Megaman was added for Sm4sh about 5 years ago. And probably was in development since 2012 so the 2019 comment feels quite off.
The comment also applies to 2012, not like that's a recent phenomenon. And obviously I understand why Sakurai made the choice he made, that doesn't mean it isn't still a mistake and that he can't be criticized for it. He puts a lot of thought into representing characters so that they feel true and familiar to fans, this time he made a choice that for most of the world is perplexing.
Speak for yourself. To me it makes perfect sense. Look at all the rest of the series icons and the gear fits right in. None of them have any kind of perspective to them like your previous picture of the helmet did. They're all flat images of something except for Little Mac's glove. I assume this is for visual clarity and simplicity.
I just want little drips so we can have something to drink between reveals. The drought of information is killing me...
Incineroar was in a weird place, where he was a dark horse among dark horses for half the speculation period and considered by many as the most obvious character for the second half of the speculation period. Prior to about the August direct, Decidueye was seen as the forerunner, with Mimikyu in second, Lycanroc in third, and Incineroar hanging around fourth. Then Vergeben leaked him and he was seen as an inevitability, with any who doubted him committing a fool's errand.Why just settle for those two? There is Incineroar as well. After all, Decidueye was the defacto Gen 7 Mon, the next Greninja and Grass Starter and Ash's ace in the anime!
Wait until the last DLC happens and it be years of speculation before new roster. That’s the most painful wait
I don't have the software to check the silhouette, but I feel like it would be kinda muddy. The silhouettes that you mentioned that keep them recognizable:
And likewise, just because you don't like it, it doesn't mean it was a mistake.
I'm not sure what point this is supposed to be making? I'm far from the only person who thought the gear was a weird choice, this is just an ad hominem. Can you actually provide an argument in favor of your point? I have.
It took me until now to realize megaman has a heart shaped layer to his helmet.
Because it's such an non-issue.
Don't get me wrong, I love the helmet way more, but as far as "nitpicky details that bother me" a niche logo is the least of my concerns as opposed to a dozen other little things I dislike.
Not too bad. I'm actually not a fan of how it looks at this angle, but I do think it's better than a random gear.
We're discussing the Mega Man series icon. Probably the dumbest conversation we've had here but at least it's not the worst.
Or how the Gaur Plain stage doesn't take place on Gaur Plain.
Oh it is for sure, this was just me talking to someone about logo pet peeves before this turned into the 'Sakurai is a God and he can do no wrong' show.
Clearly not as this is what we're talking about.
Ugh, don't remind me of my profound hatred for high heels being everywhere in video game on female characters. Even when they make no sense at all! You even get ninjas or spies or w/e who are supposed to be nimble and stealthy with frigging high heels! Or knights in high heels, because who cares about balance in battle right? It's not like someone could tackle you and you'd need solid footing to not fall to the ground where they could unsheathe their dagger and stab you right in the eyesockets!
Except nobody is even acting that way. You complained about the icon choice, and people responded with why Sakurai most likely went with what he did. You instead took their responses, turned it into "he should do his research better!" and more complaining about how the icon should be a "worldwide choice"
I mean I agree with you about it SHOULD being a helmet but I don't necessarily think the Gear is horrible since it is very much associated with him in Japan. And Sakurai is from Japan.
All I did was observe an inconsistent logic. If you want to impress the trivial nature of what's being discussed, I'm not sure I'm the culprit you're looking for.
Honestly I can’t blame you.
Who needs franchise evolution when we got Sonic Mania?
It’s really sad too, Sonic 2 was the first game I’ve ever played, but these new games just aren’t doing it for me, and now I barely even want tails in smash.
I kinda agree with this, though I actually like Zero Suit Samus's jet heels. They make her look cooler in my opinion. I also don't think they should be removed from Peach, Bayonetta, or Rosalina since they feel relevant to the the character of the former and just complete the look for the latter. Wouldn't bat an eye if Daisy started wearing converse or sneakers though. I feel like that would be so in character for her and she'd probably pull off the dress and sneakers look pretty well too.
) very few of them are pretty princesses. There's also warriors, normal people, an action (anti?)hero, and even an abomination (Wendy), so there's a decently wide variety of characters to chose from in the female department.I guess he's too busy Running in the 90's. *Bah doom tshhhhh*
Same for me--Sonic 2 was my first game, but after Sonic Adventure 2: Battle...meh, don't care about Sonic anymore. Though I guess I wouldn't complain about another Sonic character.
I wouldn’t complain either, I’d happily take Shadow since he’s easy to make, but if it was tails or something I would just give a “oh I guess that makes sense..” or “It’s not Sackboy but I’ll take it
”No.
If Mega Man's helmet was used at all, this would probably have been the best way to do it. All the details show while only using 1 solid colour and negative space.
I mean, you say that, but it does have a good game every so often..its just that Sega has a bad tendency of dropping the ball or changing the play style for no reason.
While I agree that Terry should have that (or, because I'm biased, female Terry) as an alternate costume..Joker's student costume makes sense considering that the Student portion of the game outside of Mementos is just as important to the experience of Persona 5 as the Palaces and Mementos are as Thief Joker.Honestly, for Terry's Star, I wish they used his Garou "Running Wild" Star:

Just surround it in a circle and boom, it's distinctly Terry's.
Speaking of Garou, he better have that as an alt costume when ****ing School uniform Joker got in, lmao.

I certainly understand why they used that costume, but the fact remains I think it's a bit of an oddity when Joker's primary thieving outfit is the one they use for almost all the promotional materials.
Some of them. I know Mark of the Wolves does.
I blame these franchises for not having created their own iconic symbols beforehand.
You say that, but FF's icon changed.
Uhh, no it didn't.
