He doesn't explicitly state that Banjo and Kazooie were number two, just that they were placed under him (I guess it's implied they are the 2nd most requested character in the DLC pass?). Either way they placed very high (and in Japan as well!) https://t.co/b35SkxduDd

Yeah I could see Super Sonic working though. Either that or improve his Final Smash alongside Diddy's so that it functions like Pikachu's where every move is a guaranteed connect until the end of the sequence. I don't understand why Pikachu's works like that but Sonic's and Diddy's don't. Seems kind of dumb.Chuderz : Cutscene FS are visually interesting tbf. But gameplay-wise? Not so much.
And yeah, some old transformation FS can work as install supers. But most of them probably wouldn't work like Giga Bowser, Diddy, or Super Sonic.
Chuderz
and
Quillion
are having. I'm mentioning them because at this point I'm not sure which posts to quote.
Eh, they'll probably just take the cloud option considering every studio implicitly thinks the Switch is close to done.
Should come as no surprise. I always told people this. Most Smash fans who started playing since Smash 64 have also played Banjo Kazooie. It's one of the most ambitious and critically acclaimed platform games of the N64, and Smash Bros is a platform fighter. Japan loved these games too, it also really loved DK64 and if I recall correctly they never had much backlash over that game there as here.
A lot of it is likely a cultural thing. Punch-Out!!'s popularity in the west, the US especially, stemmed a lot from the celebrity aspect, with Mike Tyson being at basically the height of his career when the NES game came out. It brought a ton of spotlight to the series, so much so that it's remembered fondly so long after the contract expired, and people will still call the series "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!" a lot of the time. It was at the right place at the right time to become a household name among NES titles.
really? thats nice to know
Considering that Days of Ruin didn't release in Japan until 2013 as a platinum status award for 3DS holders and I don't even know if there even is a release date for Reboot Camp in Japan(and I think I heard stuff about Advance Wars not being shown in the JP Directs), I wouldn't be surprised if there were lots of "Who?" from Japan if an Advance Wars character got in, even if a few may recognise Andy from his Spirit in Ultimate.
I agree that some of them are weak sauce and should change that by spicing up the backgrounds. I'm guessing that basic white/void background thing is just a path of least resistance for the flashy camera angles they want. Shulk's should really knock you into his game for it because I don't really see why not for that one specifically and I feel the same about Duck Hunt's in that it should transport the opponents to the Wild Gunman game because I just don't see why not? It'd definitely be nice but I guess it wasn't a priority for Smash team and that's understandable.I figure I may as well weigh in on the whole... super specials and Final Smashes
My thoughts on cutscene Final Smashes is that in a game where there can be players to whom the Final Smash is entirely irrelevant, there better be a good reason for a Final Smash to commandeer the camera. Unfortunately, most that do... don't have such a reason. You're telling me Grand Cross had to teleport us to some bloodsoaked valley? Chain Attack had to take place in the middle of scenic White Void? They couldn't have just, like... done it? Don't even get me started on Pyra, Mythra, and Kazuya's! The Final Smash starts somewhere else, but actually takes place on the stage! They are demonstrating my point for me: these Final Smashes do not need to teleport us somewhere else!
Now, there are some cutscene FSes that actually do earn the right to change the scene. King Dedede's Final Smash is based on the Masked Dedede fight and one of the things it takes from that is the cage, which is actively part of the choreography. Supernova's entire point is watching the big meteor destroy the solar system, and you can't see that from the stage. Captain Falcon's Final Smash - the very first cinematic FS - is about crashing into the opponent on the racetrack; for which there needs to be a racetrack. That isn't all of them, but it feels like they're vastly outnumbered by the ones that teleport you somewhere else for the hell of it.
Yeah I call them inescapable-attack-sequences and they're really good because they provide an alternative method of creating a Final-Smash while also being able to co-exist equally with cutscene ones. Big blast beam Final-Smash-attacks are the closest of the more wackier/fun/uncompetitive Final-Smash-attacks that'd be able to be fit in under this philosophy of mine but I find them to be more of an actual move that's easier to land and offers kind of broken stage-control to the character doing it with the most unfair example being Inkling being able move around freely/attack while doing theirs. I think having a caveat where distinguishing competitive and uncompetitive Final-Smash-attacks in the advanced settings is the ideal solution here allowing for coexistence between both player preferences. Though I wouldn't even bother going through any of this if Smash team didn't implement basically all my suggestions to the Final-Smash meter system because there'd really be no point because making these attacks competitive is much more than limiting them to two designs models.
YES PLEASE.
Yeah that one. I don't know why forgot the last bit part although I think I read it.
They probably wouldn't? Halo apparently has a notable fanbase in Japan. Although I'm not sure how big it is, I still remember quite a bunch of Western sites headlining about people in Japan being very disappointed about Master Chief's Seiyuu/JP Voice actor being different in Halo 4. I don't think it would've gotten so much attention had the JP fanbase been smaller.
I'm in favor of the Y button just throwing out a regular B special for the corresponding input if there isn't enough charge for a super special. The super special button doesn't necessarily have to do nothing if you don't have enough meter.
Why can't both the super special meter and the Final Smash meter be charged by taking and landing hits?
I guess Bubbles.
The information is accurate. The window of airing is either June 28 or June 29 -- may depend on time zone/regional location.

It was never planned for the coming week. It's been slated for late June for many, many weeks. This is not the result of a delay.
It's as planned. https://t.co/XPIFkZqQch
Well I want to go back but I've been hella busy with real-life stuff.
I know Half-Life being a thing there, but TF2? Not trying to snark, but do you have proof?
I still play Ultimate quite a lot casually against the AI. The main thing that keeps my interest lately is modding. There are tons of new mods releasing all of the time and I want to learn how to start importing models myself so I can add whoever I want into the game. I’ve spent the last few weeks going through all of my music and selecting over 2,000 songs I’m going to loop and add to the game.
I'm thinking about starting it again.
Haven't really played much since unlocking every character and finishing WoL. TBH, dropped the game faster than Smash Wii U, and it's because of the feeling that I've been playing the game for years with only minor changes.
Almost every day. Still favor quickplay teams but I've noticed the activity has fallen off the last few months pretty much around end of February.
Yes, I still do.
I could've mistaken TF2. I thought I saw a detailed post about TF2's JP community, but I could've been mistaken and got it mixed up with China and Korea's communities as well as the TF2 community raising 300k for post-earthquake/tsunami relief services for Japan.
Smash could get either better or worse if they move on from Sakurai, depending on who the successor is. But in any case, I doubt they'd completely abandon consideration of fan demand, given the degree to which they've used it thus far and the fact that they were willing to conduct a large-scale ballot in order to get outside input.
I'm positive they won't ignore fan demand even when Sakurai is no longer the director. Especially if they still plan on using the Smash Ballot in some capacity.
Cool. Speaking of mods, have you seen this yet?
You would think the ULTIMATE SMASH game would be played for much longer than that and not dropped like a rock. Yet Brawl and Melee and even 64 are still played to this day.
Massively. Sakurai's position, especially how big it has gotten over years with negotiations and contracts, isn't exactly a position you can hire any newbie for and required lots of experience, endurance and patience. The reason why Sakurai has stuck so long so I don't he will be replaced yet. To the point they would rather port an older title with updates than find a new one like Iwata planned if Sakurai didn't come for Brawl. It's that high level.
Is Brawl really played in an unmodded state today?
The hell is generic about Min Min and Pyra?
I haven’t seen the mod pack itself but I have most of those mods individually. I’ve been having a blast playing with so many different mods in Ultimate and it’s cool that there’s always something new to look forward to. I used to be really into making my own mods back in Brawl and managed to make it into being one of the top 5 most downloaded modders on Kittykorp/Brawlvault (under the name Aafyre), which was the most fun I’ve ever had doing anything video game related. I’ve been out of the loop for 10 years so I completely forgot how to do everything so I have to learn from scratch lol.
i think they meant in terms of picks
Do you mean that the decision on which newcomer characters will come in future games of the Super Smash Bros. series should Nintendo decide for itself and not accept it from the fans?
At least it wasn’t Spring Man or Rex. Minmin and Pyra were somewhat surprising picks comparatively speaking.
