I’m still disappointed they went with Pac-Land over Pac-Maze for Ultimate. The latter is much more iconic to Pac Man and the former looks like it was drawn by an 8 year old in MS Paint.
First off I’m referring to Samus Byleth is fine. Second off, Filthy Frank is based. Third off, Samus is a bad example of what you’re referring to.
Shows what I know about competitive Smash lol. I just assumed you were referring to Byleth. I never had any issue with any of those characters although it would be nice if Samus could get some updates to fit with some of her more modern abilities. I do wish she could crawl in her morph ball though.
Yeah, for mostly the wrong reasoning.
The problem with the Pac-Maze is the way the ghosts are designed to appear on different screens; the ghosts on the screen of the player under the effect of a Power Pellet become blue and vulnerable while the other players see the ghosts normally and can still be damaged by them. Something like that wouldn't work with multiple players using one screen.
I think a reasonable way to get around that is to have the player who got the Power Pellet be indicated by their HUD flashing.
But what about the way players see the ghosts?
It's either let them change blue and still attack the other players without the power pellet as would have be the perspective of the player with the power pellet in Smash 3DS or conversely don't have them change to blue while still allowing for the player with the power pellet to absorb them as would be the perspective of the players that didn't get the power pellet in Smash 3DS. I think the former (letting them change blue and damage players without the pellet) is the ideal.
It's been awhile since I last took a good look into it, but I THINK that's what it is. I remember things recently got more messy after the original owners of Ms. Pac-Man apparently sold the rights to AtGames right before Bandai Namco could finally get the rights themselves, and if you know anything about AtGames, then... yeah.
I did a quick glance again.
It sounds like you want characters to be more homogenized, not simpler.
I don’t have a problem with scrolling stages as a rule, just the aesthetics of the Pac-Land stage. Brawl’s Mushroomy Kingdom was probably my favorite stage in the game. I really wish they kept the underground part of that stage since that part was my favorite but I still enjoy the first stage.
I loved the underground! I remember one time during an online match this Jigglypuff got like 8 kos by staying on the top and hitting the rest of us with... Rest good times!
Still pissed that Hero, one of my most-wanteds, is basically unplayable to me due to mechanical complexity.
Not exclusively, but 3, 4, 9 and 10 let you pick your gender.
That would do a ton of damage to Smash, losing not only important third party characters and potential future characters but also their developers for the last two games. I would love to see a return to the quality and of the PS1 Final Fantasy era (and FFX) and hopefully speed up productivity to make more than one game every 10 years.
And they say Microsoft are the bad guys...
Have them damage those other players while still keeping them blue. There, problem solved.

yeah it me!Hey it's the Guy who predicted Sora!
Your premium name always reminds me of the opening lyrics to this song lol but not because I think you a lie because of the daybreak part
How can cacomallow be real when doom fellow isn't even on the Grinch leak?
Sorry, bud, the Super Mario RPG thread is elsewhere.
I can see that homogeneity would be a side effect of simplifying the characters' moveset designs to 64/Melee standards. And honestly, so be it. I came to the conclusion in a discussion about three years ago that a bit of homogeneity played a role in Ultimate's character balance being better than Brawl's and Smash 4's. While my complaints with the outlandishness of several (though not all, admittedly) Smash 4-on newcomers has little to do with balance, I'm willing to accept the characters having similar functions for similar move inputs if it makes the characters more intuitive. Playing 64, Melee, and even Brawl, I had so much fun constantly changing the character I used with every vs match (human or CPU) or single-player mode run, while with Smash 4 and especially Ultimate, I find myself trying out a newcomer once, then gravitate back to the 64-Brawl characters again and again.
Characters being a lot harder to pick up and play due to their complicated mechanics is, again, only half my problem with the Smash 4-on newcomers' moveset designs.
Oh. Sorry, it's a little hard to tell sometimes.
Well, that would be a change in the way the stage was intended to work, which may not have been what they wanted.
I have my own problems with how Min-Min was implemented but I think it's highly off-the-mark to say that how she works in Smash isn't deliberate. There's obviously a lot of effort went into making her play uniquely and presenting this as a lack of planning is dishonest.
That's a poor argument. Mario would be the first character to be added to Smash in any universe and if Smash 4 was the first game, it wouldn't have movesets this complicated, to begin with.
since you have to create them to be added anyway)
Honestly Samus is a weird case, the more modern Metroid games come out, the more canon her Smash moveset seems to become. It's almost ironic. All I really want is the Missile Storm, Morph Ball crawl, and more true to Metroid canon Charge Shot , and the Melee Counter, which can easily be a tilt and dash attack.
What does this mean for Capcom and Sega? They join forces with Nintendo and work to re-create the NES/SNES/Genesis days of glory when Capcom made a lot of games with Nintendo back then and Sega to make a sequel to the Nintendo vs Genesis wars of uniting together against a greater foe?
That COULD work, if it weren't for the fact Capcom is also rumored to be Sony's big Japanese buy. Granted, that theory mostly stands on the fact that we don't know what platforms Street Fighter 6 is coming to, but still.
