oh. oh yeah that.It's funny how the fanbase has collectively decided to ignore how Sakurai said Nintendo picked the DLC when it comes to Terry.
And yet no one will use it as proof of Sakurai lying, because it's not confirmed.
Schrodinger's Sakurai bias.
if i was directing it at you i would have quoted youWell I didn't say any of that.
I mean I don't necessarily buy that Sakurai didn't have input in any of the DLC selections. I think Nintendo might've been the principle arbiter, but I suspect Sakurai might've downplayed his role to get twitter to leave him alone.oh. oh yeah that.
*. *. my le epic post. Gone.
I think you were referring to multiple posts, one of which was mine.if i was directing it at you i would have quoted you
so? i hardly singled you outI think you were referring to multiple posts, one of which was mine.
Nabbit is such a goated choice and it reminds me that I should update the moveset I made for himevery time people start listing off their top smash picks for a certain criteria, i feel the urge to stop what i'm doing and make an image since i like visualizing stuff more that way (and possibly ocd)
anyways here are my top 10 first-party wants
View attachment 383425
I don't really need any of these characters but I'd be happy if one of them made it, especially if they're from the top three. Trust me, the only thing I actually need for the next game is Olimar getting a rework, or him getting his personality at the very least lol. I would not want another Pikmin character before they fix Olimar.
Yes but I can't respond as everyone to whom it may have referred. In regards to my post, it misrepresented what I had said.so? i hardly singled you out
Just in time for me to finally start playing the series.At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if we got an Ace Attorney spirit for the 3rd or 4th spirit event of this year. Esp with the Apollo trilogy coming out this Friday and all that 0_o
ALSO IM 10 SPIRITS AWAY FROM GETTING EVERY SPIRIT YAYYYY
There's a very clear split just like the Megaman X Compilations.Just in time for me to finally start playing the series.
For anybody wondering, yes: I did get to the part where you cross-examine a parrot.
My 1st party top ten:Alright, I’m inspired to try something. Whenever I make a list here of my most wanted characters, I always either just have a few first party characters or leave them out altogether. I’ll try to make a most wanted list limited to first party with the requirement that I feel like they need to at least have a somewhat decent chance so I don’t just list all my favorites with no basis.
1) Zoroark/Hisuian Zoroark
2) Officer Howard
3) Noah and Mio (Ouroboros fusion)
4) Dixie Kong (with animal buddies)
5) Impa (Hyrule Warriors)
6) Rauru
7) Raven Beak or EMMI
8) Medusa
9) The Black Knight
10) Isaac
I know I left out a lot of the most popular picks as well as a lot of my favorite niche characters but I think this would be a good list of plausible characters I’d be happy to see.
what? I did not follow thatYes but I can't respond as everyone to whom it may have referred. In regards to my post, it misrepresented what I had said.
Which wouldn't have been a problem if it truly wasn't in reference to my post, but I could tell it, at least partly, was. Which you've now confirmed.
Crash actually got it's peak of popularity in said country. That's where the dance came from, and there are some ads featuring him with PaRappa.What are some western properties that are popular in Japan? I know StarCraft is really popular in South Korea but I’m not sure whether it’s popular in Japan as well. How popular is something like League of Legends or World of WarCraft compared to Halo or Crash?
of course there areCrash actually got it's peak of popularity in said country. That's where the dance came from, and there are some ads featuring him with PaRappa.
I think I’m the reverse, I’d be more hyped for chibi-robo and Ashley mizuki robins than a lot of the popular third party pics.
but then again do we need every character to be hype? a few low key inclusions might do us good
My thoughts exactly. Not to discredit highly-desired characters or anything (especially as I've wanted Bandana Waddle Dee for the longest time now), but I've always been even MORE taken with the 'oddball' choices of Smash. It honestly bugs me when people say 'There's no more big 1st parties to add to Smash' or 'There's little value in Nintendo adding their own characters anymore'.I really don’t like the notion that characters have to be iconic or big to be in smash. and I particularly dislike it when it’s used to suggest to are no more interesting first party characters. let’s face it what you probably mean is there’s no more first party characters that interest you personally. some of us have hundreds of first party characters we’d love to have more than some of the most popular third parties. as for likelihood that’s anyone guess, sakurai is not exactly a man of rigid patterns
According to this, and not including Minecraft or DKC or Luigi's Mansion sequels,.... Not a whole lot lol. GTA5 and some indie game I never heard of, and Crash at number 10.What are some western properties that are popular in Japan? I know StarCraft is really popular in South Korea but I’m not sure whether it’s popular in Japan as well. How popular is something like League of Legends or World of WarCraft compared to Halo or Crash?
Yeah I believe Crash 2 was the first western developed game to hit 1 million sales in Japan, or something along those lines. It’s a pretty impressive feat, but unfortunately Crash’s later endeavors haven’t been quite as fruitful over there.Crash actually got it's peak of popularity in said country.

And if they added these characters they might actually get more attention put into them. Smash Bros can singlehandedly make an obscure franchise into a popular one overnight, as can be seen with Earthbound and Fire Emblem. The decision to add Ness in Smash 64 turned Earthbound from an obscure SNES RPG that bombed in the West to being a cult classic that sold like hotcakes on the Wii U VC, and it's because of Smash that Fire Emblem is the massive franchise it is today, as without Smash Fire Emblem might not ever make it out of Japan. If they add more obscure Nintendo characters they might end up becoming icons in their own right.My thoughts exactly.

It honestly bugs me when people say 'There's no more big 1st parties to add to Smash' or 'There's little value in Nintendo adding their own characters anymore'.
In addition to it being FAR more financially viable for Nintendo to do just that (adding more of their OWN stock into Smash), I honestly don't know if I'd be THAT excited for so many 3rd parties being added. I know it sounds crazy to say, but I feel like the hype I'd get from 3rd parties being added would become a little dulled over time. 1st parties, on the other hand?
Heck, give me Chibi-Robo, Ashley Mizuki Robbins, Kyle Hyde, Angelique Noir (Style Savvy 4), Lark, Mona, Goku (Yuyuki), Urban Champion, Bubbles, and the like, and I'd honestly find THAT more exciting.
At this point, I assume I'm at least well-known around here for being far-and-away more interested in Nintendo's own catalogue of characters than the 3rd party side of things.
I think I saw either Skyrim or The Witcher, but I can't remember which...What are some western properties that are popular in Japan?

y'know I never really gave Bubbles a second look whenever people mention her being fighter potential, but now that I have, I think she'd actually make a really unique retro rep. the whole gimmick of grabbing poles to re-orient her direction could be translated into Smash by giving her a move where she can grab the edges of soft platforms during knockback to redirect her momentum, letting her fly at another angle of her choosing (assuming the move is timed and positioned right).My thoughts exactly.

I've been sitting on this point a bit, and I don't really like it. It took Sakurai like 15 years to figure out how to make Ridley work, I don't see why it would be such a strain on Sakurai's imagination to resonate a little more on Tom Nook and then come to the conclusion that he could swing his tail around and whack you with a bag of bells or something. It seems likely to me he just hasn't thought about him very much yet, or maybe in the earliest planning stages he contemplated whether to add him or Villager. Not that there's any evidence for that, though. But with Animal Crossing's unprecedented boom in success I think he will be forced to confront this again, and I guess we'll see whether or not he has anything new to say.I mean he had four games and two spin-offs and still made Isabelle a semi-clone.
One is already in Smash through a Mii costume, and the other is based on a book.I think I saw either Skyrim or The Witcher, but I can't remember which...
WoW itself isn't popular from what I've gathered. Same for LOL. But, I've seen plenty of Japanese streamer playing Hearthstone.What are some western properties that are popular in Japan?

Wait which Bubbles? The only one I can think of is PPG, and that's not a video game character.y'know I never really gave Bubbles a second look whenever people mention her being fighter potential, but now that I have, I think she'd actually make a really unique retro rep. the whole gimmick of grabbing poles to re-orient her direction could be translated into Smash by giving her a move where she can grab the edges of soft platforms during knockback to redirect her momentum, letting her fly at another angle of her choosing (assuming the move is timed and positioned right).
...wectoring, but as an intended mechanic!
Bubbles from Clu Clu Land. I made a moveset for her, actually.Wait which Bubbles? The only one I can think of is PPG, and that's not a video game character.
"Bubbles Brings it Around Town" is such a genius tagline for her, like bruhBubbles from Clu Clu Land. I made a moveset for her, actually.
Thanks! And speaking of movesets, I just finished one for Athena Asamiya."Bubbles Brings it Around Town" is such a genius tagline for her, like bruh
Read through it just now. It's good! My favorite moves are the edge attack, down B, and especially that Final Smash, it's seriously creative.
I said because it's true. If someone literally has "hundreds of first party characters" they want in Smash, then they clearly DO NOT CARE who gets in, and will agree with ANYTHING suggested.Do you just say things like this to make people upset?
He didn't say "a character". Or "a few characters". Or even "a bunch of characters". He said "hundreds".There's nothing wrong with supporting a niche Nintendo character that you love and have a personal attachment
I think Terry is more iconic than Joker or Bayonetta.I feel like third parties have to be iconic on some level to be in smash. The biggest outlier to this was Terry.
Debating what counts as iconic is a losing battle.
Hey. Sometimes it's just fun to do some photoshop.every time people start listing off their top smash picks for a certain criteria, i feel the urge to stop what i'm doing and make an image since i like visualizing stuff more that way (and possibly ocd)
You know, thinking about it, after Hades got a Spirit.....be afraid.
Be very afraid. :V
And watch it be an Enhancable Spirit that becomes a solo Monika...
