Ness?2) I like demifiend because he's an almighty supernatural being that can destroy gods, and he just wears some cool sneakers and shorts.
I think a counter-point to this is another Nintendo series that may have gotten too big for its boots. Mario Kart.I agree than in 2024 the original 12 would be completely diferent, but Smash Bros. 64 was made in 1999 and the choices made from the roster that day are still relevant to Smash Bros. as those 12 characters have never been cut and are legacy veteran characters at this point, them begin sensible choices in 2024 doesn't really matter anymore.
I personally think you shouldn't remove any of them if you can avoid it, they're part of Smash Bros identity at this point, Ness, Falcon, Jigglypuff, removing them would feel really wrong.
It's like removing Drackies, Chimaera Wings or Metal Slimes in a future Dragon Quest game, it would feel wrong, they've been there since the beginning, they're still a part of the series identity, even if a smaller one.
that reminds me, did paratroopa ever return?I think a counter-point to this is another Nintendo series that may have gotten too big for its boots. Mario Kart.
Koopa and Donkey Kong Jr. were removed in Mario Kart 64, and replaced by the much more popular Wario and Donkey Kong. Koopa later returned in Double Dash, but DK Jr. has only made an appearance in Mario Kart Tour, and not even in a modern form.
I imagine if any of the original 12 finally do get cut, the argument to keep them as a unit collapses. Smash Bros isn’t going to die instantly without Jigglypuff, Ness, or even Falcon.
Smash Bros is evolving, and we can’t always bring everything back. Pokémon dealt with this hurdle during Dexit. Mario Kart will deal with it. And so must Smash Bros.
No, not even in Tour. I think that game would’ve been a good opportunity.that reminds me, did paratroopa ever return?
Sadly, no. It is the only character from Double Dash to never return. Not even in Tourthat reminds me, did paratroopa ever return?
Same here. Many characters have so much untapped potential with different outfits that it’s honestly a shame we’re still mostly limited to palate swaps with a few outliers. I’d love for the Zelda cast, Samus, Shulk, King K. Rool, Mario, and Peach at least to get a lot more actual oufits. I also feel the hard cap of 8 outfits per character is too limiting and I’d like to see that expanded.OK, here's a topic that doesn't involve cuts, since I'm sure we're all pretty tired of going back to that.
I may or may not have said this before, but I'm hoping the next Smash games delves deeper with alternate costumes, like...most fighting games.

I feel like giving everyone more than 8 costumes would be a hard task to undertake even for a Brawl-sized roster. That's literally adding hundreds of new costumes to the game.Same here.

I mean, even if you did it the Smash 4 Little Mac way, this wouldn't necessarily apply to every character. Only a select few.I feel like giving everyone more than 8 costumes would be a hard task to undertake even for a Brawl-sized roster. That's literally adding hundreds of new costumes to the game.
I didn't say Smash Bros is going to die for cutting Falcon, Ness, Jigglypuff, but for me (and others) it would rip a bit of the series soul, same way i felt with Ultimate removing Target Test and Trophies , it was a part of the series soul, even if it was small.I imagine if any of the original 12 finally do get cut, the argument to keep them as a unit collapses.

I didn't say to bring everything back, just dont remove the orignal 12, most melee/brawl vets or the memorable modes, items and misc that helped shaping the series, to build a future you have to respect your past too, look at Final Fantasy, a lot of older fans don't like it because it doesn't keep the elements that make a Final Fantasy, a Final Fantasy game.Smash Bros is evolving, and we can’t always bring everything back.

Well. I am slightly disappointed its not a normal direct, but hey, I didn't expect one until September so it all checks out.
Maybe the Nintendo Direct is actually going to be a showcase for the new Nintendo console they are working on and not an actual Direct.Well. I am slightly disappointed its not a normal direct, but hey, I didn't expect one until September so it all checks out.
I wouldn’t ask for more if they weren’t removing good alts off the legacy characters.I feel like giving everyone more than 8 costumes would be a hard task to undertake even for a Brawl-sized roster. That's literally adding hundreds of new costumes to the game.
I don’t think every single character needs more than 8 costumes, just the ones that actually have existing costume material they can work with.I feel like giving everyone more than 8 costumes would be a hard task to undertake even for a Brawl-sized roster.

should be interesting
If we go by rating, Halo has advantage over Doom because recent Halo games got tamer rating. Halo is not hard M rating. If we go by Japanese rating, Halo games got tamer rating there as well. During 360 era, Halo did well in Japan for all things considered. And, it's on PC. From what I've observed, Halo had more recognition than Doom in Japan.As far as microsoft having better candidates, like Master Chief and Doom Slayer, i am still one of those guys who thinks the ESRB is going to disincentivize sakurai from adding M rated characters. Besides that, are master chief or doom slayer even more popular than crash? I had assumed Halo didn't have much international appeal due to the XBox not selling well in japan, but that may have changed in recent years. Doom I'm 50/50 on, it's a classic series and historically important. I do think Doom is more likely to get representation than Halo, though.
Incredible. You love to see it.Dixie Kong is now the number one character.
Where are these results?i just don't know how much stock I can put in a DK-led "Elite Four" poll when it's already been mentioned that the dk subreddit hosted a link to it and not other big subs like the zelda one. Feels like the same kinda unintentional lopsidedness that happens to any poll where Team Fortress 2 Heavy makes an appearance.
Granted, I'm raising alarms over Dixie Kong for no reason, lol. I'm sure hindsight will show a lot of love given to characters even in the top 40 or beyond in this.
Okay I was dead wrong but not in the way I expected.This is entirely semantics and based on very specific things that may not even apply.
I don't think it will be an indie world because Indie Worlds aren't considered Nintendo Directs by Nintendo
Nintendo Direct - Archive - Nintendo Official Site
The online home for exclusive Nintendo news — broadcast directly to you, the player.www.nintendo.com
Now again this is a semantics thing and the leakers could just be hearing "Nintendo Presentation" and assume a direct.
Could very well be a mini or partner showcase though.
Dixie was already second place before being shared to the DK subreddit, and even Funky Kong was placing within Top 5. I don’t doubt Dixie’s capacity to be at least somewhere in that pool even without the DK bump. Not sure if she would be #1 full stop, but definitely still sitting high.Granted, I'm raising alarms over Dixie Kong for no reason, lol.

I can see Bandana Dee getting in for sure. But my gut says Dixie Kong will miss the boat once more.Man it's gonna be real freakin' weird if Bandana Dee and Dixie Kong somehow miss yet another game.
And here there where doubters saying they never are requested much, and missed the boat earlier so never will make it.Honestly, no other character is close to Dixie Kong or Bandana Waddle Dee.
To go with the Elite Four thing, maybe instead it should be one as the champion and one as the rival.
It did hit r/kirby iirc.Dixie was already second place before being shared to the DK subreddit, and even Funky Kong was placing within Top 5.

Did we get the r/Kirby plug yet?
It’s gonna be a bit strange for me not to regard Waluigi as the “champion”, I think in my own mind I’ll still see it that way. Mostly because he’s the one character who feels like he transcends insular community support outwardly toward the casual demographic who wouldn’t be voting on or being exposed to a poll like this.
That's just going too far in the complete opposite direction.Going to be completely honest about this.
He never WAS some sort of "champion" among speculation.
He wasn't even taken seriously until he got a memetic outcry over being an Assist in Ultimate of varying degrees of legitimacy, which people somehow took to mean he was this super-wanted character by everyone and how he's totally going to be on the radar to include next time.
And that's what bothers me the most.
He's pretty much ignored until people made asses out of themselves and essentially give the entire fanbase a bad name to where someone like me has to walk on eggshells when saying Waluigi is my most wanted, but now that somehow gets flipped a full 180 to be a GOOD thing for him?
Because being loud and obnoxious means everything, right?
For better or worse, when judging this kind of thing, it often does lol. We’re talking about omnipresence within the conversation for next game. It’s impossible to say Waluigi isn’t a large part of that, even if you think a lot of it is insincere.Because being loud and obnoxious means everything, right?
It's the just right amount that didn't let me get swept up in the blind optimism going into Ultimate and the bull**** conspiracy theories that happened after.That's just going too far in the complete opposite direction.
