Impa's chances were zero, to begin with when the characters for DLC were determined. We just didn't know that yet.
Forgotten Land stage in Smash 6 would be pretty cool.
Putting it that way, yeah sure. The characters where predetermined, of course. But for the general speculators, Impa was off from that moment, but many thought she made a good chance this time around. Me included.
If we do get Impa, I’m still hoping for her original Hyrule Warriors design even if that is very unlikely at this point. I don’t mind her AoC design but she was just so cool in HW and I feel like AoC lost some of that personally.
Aha! I was right when I said Bandana Waddle Dee would have a huge role in this game.
It's more or less in line with how it is in Star Allies, with how he's the first Dream Friend you get since Dedede and Meta Knight both have a mandatory boss fight.
You forgot a "not", didn't you?
I'd say being the only other playable character in Kirby's big 3D debut feels more substantial.
Yes. Its fixed now.
I was a strong advocate for this too. I generally like stoic Impa better than the cutesy look they where going for in Age of Calamity, but I can't say I dislike the fighting style of Impa in that game. It's unique, and really stands out, and the moves she uses sort of make more sense with her lore and design. She's also by far the most popular version of Impa. But yeah, I liked her original moveset too, especially the Naginata. I always hoped the Naginata would at least be a DLC weapon for Impa in AoC.
But wouldn't it be different with Age of Calamity seeing as it was marketed as a prequel to Breath of the Wild? In general, they where very ambitious with the story telling of Age of Calamity, an event that could actually have happened in another dissorted timeline of the multiverse of the Legend of Zelda. We know that the original Hyrule Warriors was overlooked yeah, shamefully so, cause if they took inspiration from it I bet a lot of the Zelda cast would be more original.
Koei Tecmo did, nevertheless, play some part in base Ultimate (mainly through their co-ownership of Fatal Frame, I think), which still makes it a damn shame the first Hyrule Warriors couldn't get Spirit representation. But for whatever it's worth, while Impa's HW design is likely a Koei Tecmo property, it was mostly inspired by her Skyward Sword appearance. And if Zelda and Ganondorf in Ultimate are any indication, they're more likely to pick and choose whichever incarnation of Zelda characters seem most suitable and/or popular as opposed to just going with the then-latest design like they used to.
That really depends on how LoZ character designs are represented for the next game. Will it still be a mix like Ultimate, or go back to focusing on a recent title? Or whatever the hell they were doing keeping the TP designs for 4?
I still miss TP Zelda but I hope we can keep OoT Ganondorf. His design in Ultimate is my favorite Ganondorf’s ever had.
Pretty sure BotW is gonna be the design for Link and Zelda at least. Am mostly curious what they will do with Ganon, as he appears to be having a more humanoid role in BotW2. Maybe it'll be the end of "Ganondorf" and we'll get Calamity Ganon in humanoid form in Smash?
Same thing with stuff like Captain Falcon, Roy, Ice Climbers, etc
TP Sheik was a relic of when she was going to be in that game.
The Hyrule Historia states that Sheik's TP-esque design was actually made for Brawl.
I’m glad they kept Sheik personally. I think her Brawl design was awesome and she was one of the coolest characters in the game. I’m fine with it not really making sense with TP Zelda.
Completely in board on the importance of Waddle Dees in this game. It's basically the dream Kirby game my 13yo self wanted now.
I haven’t had time to watch the video but I’m glad for the confirmation of multiplayer. I was getting worried it was going to be single player. I already lost Tales and Dynasty Warriors
.
Nah, BWD has too many moves different from Kirby to be a semi-clone. Being Player 2 in Forgotten Land doesn’t necessarily mean he’s that similar to Kirby in terms of moves.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Pirate's Curse (at least the 3DS version) published in Japan by Nintendo?
I group characters in my rosters by IP (perhaps cheating slightly by mixing Yoshi and Wario with Mario characters, but come on).
It's obnoxious that this feature is omitted.
Toon Sheik is literally the least interesting of the Forbidden 7, am glad this never happened. Way to cheat Tetra out too, who I still hold out was supposed to be this "Toon Sheik". In a way, they should've just cut Sheik in Brawl, and give the transformation gimmick to Toon Zelda with Tetra instead.
Not that I know of, no.
I don't think he'll be a clone, but it's definite that Bandana Dee would use Kirby as a base. He'll probably borrow quite a few of Kirby's statistics too therefore. I think they'll be of similar height, weight, jump speed, run and walk speeds more or less. But it's hard to argue Bandana Dee would be an actual clone. He has his own distinct set of abilities as you can clearly see from that one video alone.
I don't think he's dull at all. He'd round up the Kirby roster very nicely, 2 heroes 2 anti heroes. And having the main playable cast all there.
That's fine by me.
Waddle Dees themselves are a huge part of Kirby marketing in Japan. Given that Piranha Plant seems to be the exception rather than the rule, they might as well go with a Waddle Dee who's more of a character.
