Please, can I have the fabled Xenoblade collab that I'm not the only one who dreams about it? (same with SNK Neo Geo cards in Capcom's and GungHo's TEPPEN)
Yes but FEH famously does zero collabs (at least where stuff goes into the game, dragalia lost (rip) had 2 FEH collabs).
I know this is to not break the story flow and ruining plot points with silly collaborations. But FEH doesn't follow the crossing over trend.
The cast mistakes him for Sonic, only for him to turn around and **** em up.
Now or never basically. Super Mario RPG won't get another remake. And there's nothing else for him besides this. I see the chances as quite likely this time, but not guaranteed by any means.
Yes you can. You can be Link and be cooler than anything and everything
Honestly... I can see this.Many people keep talking about how many Fire Emblem characters are going to get cut, but unfortunately for them, next year is Fire Emblem's prime time. Why? Cause it's 2025 next year and it will be Fire Emblem's 35th Anniversary. And not many people know this, but 2+0+2+5+3+5 = 17. And what is 17? A Prime number.
Hence why next year, along with it's 35th Anniversary, Book 9 for Fire Emblem Heroes and a new game announced in 2025, there will be no cut Fire Emblem characters for next Smash. And 35 Anniversaries+9 FEH Books+1 new game+No cut characters for Fire Emblem meaning 8 Fire Emblem Reps uncut=53, which is a Prime number. It's Fire Emblem's Prime time.
This has been "Your Useless Fact of the Day".
I think that characters known in the west but unknown in Japan are in a significantly worse position than ones that are known in Japan but relatively unknown in the west. Completely unknown is obviously one thing, but for lopsided notability, we'd be far more likely to get someone like Goemon than, say, Scorpion, imo.
I think they’re less likely as things currently stand. However, I think if Smash wants to truly embrace the “celebration of gaming”, it should continue branching out into characters who are popular in other regions as well. I just think it would be cool to celebrate gaming as a whole rather than overly focusing on one specific segment. There’s still tons of Japanese games and characters I’d love to see represented but I think other regions have a ton of untapped potential for Smash. Hopefully Steve and Banjo are just the start of Smash embracing a more global approach to character selection. That said, Nintendo is still a Japanese company and it makes sense for them and Sakurai to me more familiar with what’s popular over there so I’ll always expect at least a little Japanese focused character selection.
Agree tbh. I always thought that characters like Doom Slayer or Rayman are good choices in case they want to appeal to western audiences.
Yeah, Doom Slayer especially. I like the idea of bringing in characters who are basically faces of their genre that are new to Smash. DOOM played a huge part in popularizing First Person Shooter games. My most wanted western characters are Rash/Pimple/Zitz (Battletoads), Fulgore (Killer Instinct), Jinx (League of Legends), Illidan Stormrage (WarCraft), Sarah Kerrigan (StarCraft), Raziel (Soul Reaver), Death (Darksiders), and Gaige (Borderlands). Several of these bring in new unrepresented genres to Smash and could act as the face of those genres much like Doom Slayer does for FPS games. Here’s a quick breakdown of each new genre they could bring in:
Ya know, given how people seem to much prefer Death over War, and I really enjoyed War, I should probably play Darksiders 2.
I think they’re all really cool personally. I like Death because he’s more supernatural looking with his skull like features and gray skin. War looks like a cool human knight and gives me a WarCraft vibe. I think I’m going to buy Darksiders Genesis soon because that looks like a fun co-op game. I played Darksiders 2 years ago but got stuck on a puzzle I couldn’t figure out. I’d love to play it again and the rest of the series.
When Master Chief exists and is owned by the same company I highly doubt that Doom Slayer is getting in. And Doom didn't popularize FPS games at all. Actually it was Wolfenstein 3D that did that.
Honestly, it's not as good.
I think Master Chief is more likely too, but this is just wrong. Wolfenstein came first but DOOM was the cultural phenomenon. Not that it matters anyway, both are by id Software and Wolfenstein’s subject matter gives it a virtual 0% chance of having anything in Smash. DOOM is simply the more sensible of the two and represents the same creative vision and innovation.
While Wolfenstein 3D was popular, it was not nearly as much of a leap forward or as influential as Doom was. Doom absolutely deserves it's notoriety.
Although you forgot about Quake, and that was an even bigger leap forward than Doom was. It also massively popularized online multiplayer as well to a greater extent than Doom.
Quake is one of the most influential 3D games of all time, with most 3D games having at least a bit of Quakes DNA inside it somehow
I can see it getting an assist trophy
I don't want to minimize Wolfenstein's influence though, What it did for the concept of Shareware games and FPS games as a whole is still major, I mentioned Catacomb 3d and Ultima Underworld, while those were similar, they also were not as simple or as fun as Wolfenstein and overall the presentation for Wolfenstein was the best at the time and did propel the FPS genre to eventually lead id to create Doom.
IMO it almost certainly will, but to what extent is a more loaded question.
I think he’s next in line after Ridley, K. Rool, Sora, and Waluigi for “Highly requested characters.” The recency of the remake and Squenix wanting to buddy up more with Nintendo is a great indication of his chances. He might be saved for DLC though, as a big selling point for hardcore Smash fans. But he might also be base game since he won’t sell as well as a Crash or a Dante.
I certainly hope it will
If the reaction to the Mii Costume was any indication, yes.
I'll go for broke and say that I think Sans is the single most likely third party character for the next Smash's base game.
Honestly I think base game is more likely, just because I imagine Toby Fox would be easier to work with than a big company like Square Enix or Microsoft lol
Not like Smash speculators are currently acknowledging that.
Yeah, and it's not like hard set or anything (since Ultimate had 1 unique one with Simon and 3 if you also include Echoes even though they're not unique lol), I'm just like "If we get Sans, that'd be one of the two unique third parties" which I'd be fine with, it's just like...
My guess for that spot is Shadow. I do think Sans has a decent shot too but the fact that Smash has yet to have a playable indie character keeps me from saying he’s the most likely.
was a playable character, except he was always a playable character, since Brawl. Except the reason he was relevant is I was bringing him up as a potential cut. "I know he's popular but he's not the most stand outish Pokémon there is."
You have played too much Smash Crusade.I had a dream that Heracross
When I woke up, I realised the reason we don't talk about Heracross more is because he was never playable to begin with (though he'd be really cool)
I've never actually touched it lolYou have played too much Smash Crusade.
I dunno, the way I see it Ultimate was the time for indie games to get a more prominent role, with all the costumes and the music and the Shovel Knight AT. Now the next step would be to get a whole fighter.
