Frankly I don't think thats the case, that's underplaying P5.
I kinda don't think it would affect it in any way if Crash was decided already but might impact negatively if he was currently in negotiations.
I don't think it will, if only because Blizzard is the only one getting any heat from this fiasco instead of the entirety of Activision. Considering Activision and Blizzard have merged into one entity, I feel like Activision as a whole should also be held accountable and boycotted alongside the Blizzard portion, but that's neither here nor there. Either way, unless the development for a character started way before the Hong Kong incident, I doubt we'll be seeing an Overwatch character anytime soon.
I don't think Crash will be affected that much by this. Mostly because he's not a Blizzard creation and he's not managed by the Blizzard side of Activision.
Kasumi can have different movement animations from Joker like Dark Samus; her movements would be more graceful to reflect her ballerina background. I think she's more likely because aside from having leftover data in the game, she looks the most like Joker visually. She has the red gloves, the black clothing, the longcoat and the pointy shoes, and the mask. She can also have the same school uniform as an alt costume. Unlike Yosuke and Yu, she wields one melee weapon and one gun like Joker, and the Rebellion gauge wouldn't make much sense for them either. And based off of the animations we've seen of her fighting style, it mirrors Joker's, too. She might not have a grappling hook, but they can feasibly give her a ballerina ribbon instead. And she can be used to promote P5 Scramble for Switch, the same way Atlus is using her to promote P5R.
So it was another HMK video. Thanks for the explanation. I’m personally hoping for some female characters like Morrigan, 2B, or Jill, cause I prefer playing females, but I wouldn’t mind Sora. Kingdom Hearts is part of my childhood and it would be amazing if that world was brought to Smash.
I don't think so? Blizzard (and Nintendo FTR) are probably going to lay low as much as possible until the smoke clears. Especially considering Mei's VA and the character's recent portrayals. If Blizzard (or Activision for that matter) does have a character in the pipeline they'll likewise keep the lid on as much as possible or even delay. Likewise with negotiations, they'll likely delay those.
Tbf Mei's VA lives in China. You think she's gonna say "yeah **** our government!" When she's pretty much at gunpoint?
Pretty much my point. Mei's made out to be a symbol of Hong Kong, but her character's VA a Chinese national. She can't go against her own government, but that means she becomes likely target by people taking her stance as = allying with the government. She might not want to lose the VA job at Blizzard either.
I mean...he kinda already DID Snitch. It's not like Sakurai doesn't know about twitter.
Well, it SHOULD. That whole "prioritize our own profits over basic morality and ethics" pretty much COMES from the Activision side of the company.
Can you prove that??
A character that has yet to prove anything of themselves yet she's also takes up a THIRD PARTY slot while there's still no kind of second Sonic character (not that I'd want Shadow)... Hot take, but uh, no thanks.Kasumi can have different movement animations from Joker like Dark Samus; her movements would be more graceful to reflect her ballerina background.

No, but, it should be pretty obvious by looking at Activision's past actions.
I'd let them if said character wasn't literally an untested character from a third party in this hypothetical. It's unprecedented as far as third parties go, and that development time could have gone to another character who actually has proven themselves as... being in a game that has come out already (at least in terms of third parties).
"Activision" as in the subsidiary sister to Blizzard or as in the greater "Activision Blizzard conglomerate"?
They don't have to test Kasumi. P5 is still popular, and she already has a boatload of fans (and she's already made a guest appearance outside of Persona!), even though the main games featuring her aren't out yet. Not to mention that her debut game, P5R, is basically an upgrade of an already critically acclaimed game lol. Joker's inclusion was well received (personally, I love his fighting style), and giving him an echo to promote a Persona game coming to Switch, or using her to kickoff a hypothetical Echo themed pass makes sense. There are people who are now interested in Persona thanks to Joker's inclusion in Smash, and they want more of it. If the Jane leftover data is Kasumi, development time was already spent on her in some capacity (and being an echo would mean she'd be easier to make, too). They might as well finish what they started, and the end result would be pretty awesome.
For some reason, this looks like something people who pester for Geno would say? And I don't even know where Geno falls in the party spectrum.
It'd be pretty interesting if she was a Joker echo. Maybe having much more range on her normals (since she has a sword), but her attacks are slower as a result, and Cinderella just buffs her rather than giving her buffs and more range like Arsene does. and different gun properties, of course.Kasumi can have different movement animations from Joker like Dark Samus; her movements would be more graceful to reflect her ballerina background.

The tweet which had him speak a different language to tell us to shut the **** up right? Amazinf
wait all of this started because of one person tag him and other companies on a meme chain tweet that others were just doing this for fun.
yes.
I wonder if that harada tweet actually disconfirmed the characters for (hypothetically) the 3rd to 5th character spots for fighters pass 2.
I highly doubt that tweet has any baring on those characters' chances. As a lot of people have already said, Harada really likes to ****post, so I doubt he's actually serious about convincing Sakurai not to add those characters, even if he was serious about telling people to stop with the spam. Besides, I'm pretty sure the next DLC lineup has pretty much already been decided at this point and I don't think Sakurai is the kind of guy to stop pursuing a character out of spite.
What about the 1st and 2nd?
If that one person leads to Harada publicly calling out annoying-ass smash spammers and potentially making them calm their ****, it's fine in my book.
I don’t see how it’s annoying if they’re keeping to themselves and not actually trying to spam anyone. Or even spam in the first place.
It's not gonna happen but man, I loved Transistor so much. What a game. Superb music, great story, beautiful art, good combat... I would be happy with this song in Smash:
That was so annoying. Hell, that stills happens in some way. I love Smash but it's not my #1 game and it never was, I get that some people barely plays anything beyond Smash and all that, that's cool. But there's some people that only wants Smash news everyday, you can see that in a lot of official posts from Nintendo in Twitter or Instagram or the chats for the directs.
It doesn't have to be the people he quoted, just the people who actually do it.
Yeah.
I was assuming the 1st and 2nd character was picked up about 2/3 months ago
Fans, after getting
: We won't ask anything from Sakurai ever again.
Those fans a few years ago: "It's not much to ask for a Nintendo character as DLC right? Please Sakurai? We just want our good old Ninte-WHAT THE **** CORRIN AJSNSNSNSNSMSM GRRRRRRRRR I HATE YOU SAKURAI HOW ****ING DARE YOU"Fans, after getting
Same fans, 0.00000005 seconds later: Who asked for Terry?
First party, but only certain first parties.
All first parties are equal but some first parties are more equal than others.
This is ironic as most hardcore "WHERE ARE THE NINTENDO CHARACTERS" people are the kind of people who pretend they read 1984
