I know, that's why I said Pyra's polycount is more than Popo+Nana put together.
Most of the spec rumors are somewhere inbetween the base PS4 and PS4 Pro, either way is enough for Rex+Pyra assuming your average Smash 5 fighter's polycount is around what Pyra's is in SSBU. Given that fighters are further away from the camera in platform fighters than traditional ones I don't really see a decent reason for fighter models to have polycounts higher than SSBU Pyra's anyway.
Yoshi I think would need a prominent character that doesn't overlap with the Mario series (I think people primarily point to Poochy in this regard but I don't know if Poochy really has the gusto so to speak to be a Smash newcomer with a big trailer and all lol).
I think Ashley has a shot at getting added at some point since the WarioWare series is still going strong. Anything else I think relies entirely on Sakurai randomly getting inspired by them.
He's possible. He might have an uphill battle with other Microsoft characters but he does have a solid legacy and maybe fan support.
I mean, for Yoshi, you either have Kamek who overlaps with Mario or Poochy. And either is possible if Sakurai feels like one of them could be a fun character.
Also, something else regarding Pyra's model I'm curious about:
A miracle.
Unless they wanna call Kamek a Yoshi character, I don't think Yoshi's ever going to get a second rep, most of its important characters are just pre-existing Mario characters. Ig Poochy exists, but I doubt Sak feels much incentive to expand Yoshi. Hell, Yoshi repping his own series at all is a questionably aged decision that I think mostly holds 'cause of Grandfather Clause.
I genuinely dont think we'll ever get another "Yoshi" character because the series is just part of the Mario lineup.
The joke response would be that the figures were a tax write off for business purposes but he just really wanted to buy the figures for himself.
Considering anime's track record with trying to represent Black characters, it might be better if they avoid those kinds of broad stereotypical features.
I remember there was a large outcry when early promotional material for Half-Genie Hero whitewashed her. They changed her back before release.
Why? We have 2 MS characters already.
We need to bring back Snowboard Kids now. Proper remake graphics Snowboard Kids.
Oh, I loved that game! I would love to see it remastered and give it a try!
vastly overestimated by the smash community
hmm probably for sakurai to wake up one day and go "I know who we should include"
not great
I always thought Yarn Yoshi as a Echo would work.
Who would you even use from Yoshi other than Poochy? I like the idea of Yoshi getting another character, but there's generally too much overlap with Mario characters that it's quite hard to justify it. At this rate, I wish they'd drop the Yoshi moniker and give his series back to Mario. Which is not a Smash exclusive problem, by the way; I want Mario to adapt enemies from Yoshi's Island again.
This is what I think Louis was alluding to he said it's "Nintendo's fault" (please correct me if I'm wrong). Nintendo and Japanese gaming companies in general have always portrayed black characters in a rather insulting way. Even Barret in the original FF7 was cringe with his design as if black folks HAVE to be Mr. T ripoffs to be considered "accurate"...
I'm surprised nintendo added another video for echoes of wisdom. Locations also written in hylian language, the Still World, and Zelda can fight with a sword. Though, it does run with a charge system and can only be refilled while in the still world (reminds me of Archie Sonic's Void of Silence concept). Wisdom is the highlight of this game, so I wouldn't be surprised if some people complain they can't fight with a sword all the time.
I wasn’t deliberately referring to stereotyping, but of course there’s a lot of work to be done there too. I was just referring to the cause and effect with Nintendo’s willingness (or lack thereof) to put POC in leading or prominent roles. Had Nintendo made more of an effort to do this over the years, we’d probably have a black character in Smash by now.
Two things of note:
I have a feeling it's going to be like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom where you start out with a bunch of really weak options and you have to strategize around using them, but by the end of the game you're basically invincible.
This is actually a very good take.
I feel like it was been a posibility since Strive launched in 2021, heh.
Guilty Gear is absolutely the next fighting game series in line. It's had a meteoric rise in the past few years, Arc just developed the Another Code remakes for Nintendo, and the other options are... lacking. Mortal Kombat is bigger but if it's going to be added to any platform fighter it'll be Multiversus, Darkstalkers and Killer Instinct are kind of dead and have to deal with major competition from within their company, Blazblue is a smaller series also owned by Arc, and Dragon Ball FighterZ is off the table for obvious reasons. Really the only other series on the table is Soulcalibur, but that just doesn't feel likely for some reason.
Because everybody knows doing multiple crossovers at once is impossible!
Have you tried r/ Pokemon?
I hope toad's still going strong
