He isn't. HBO Max's alphabetical order goes straight from John from Cincinnati to Juanpa+Chef
That implies I was ever optimistic for MVS.
And they may be corporate but they're still popular and iconic, Spongebob especially!
And they even showed their creative side with Lincoln. His moveset was almost entirely made from scratch just for this game.
These are all valid points, and I'm not gonna go full-on doomer mode over a game that isn't even out yet. If the game comes out and there's nothing in it for me, big deal, I just won't play it. I'd LIKE to see some 2000's CN representation, but if we don't get that, I'm not gonna take to the streets yelling at people who do like the game to quit having fun. That's honestly part of why I'm hesitant to take my opinions about the game to the MVS general thread since I don't wanna rain on anyone's parade; I certainly don't think we'd like it if a bunch of people flooded this thread saying why they don't like our game.
It's crazy to me how this game has the Iron Giant in it, something that WOULD be considered an out there fan favorite pick... if they hadn't been using the Giant as their go-to "this is a big crossover!" character lately, while completely missing the point of the Giant as a character. They made the ****ing Iron Giant a safe, corporate pick.
Very nice of them that after an entire dev cycle of not giving the devs the time or money that they needed, resulting in the game losing nearly its entire playerbase within weeks due to it being barebones at launch, Nick decided to finally patch things up by acknowledging the game in a tweet.
Isn't Tiny Toons wb?
Tiny Toons has strong Nick history. If not MVs, NASB is an easy replacement. Tiny Toon in MV isn't likely.
Honestly, if NASB is gonna get a WB cameo somehow they may as well go the full mile and just get a CN rep; Bugs; Fred Flintstone; or Tom & Jerry - I don't really care for "connections" in guest characters, same reason I'd prefer Simba or Buzz over Doug.
It's much more likely than NASB imo
More like make it really difficult to talk about characters Nick actually owns, making history repeat itself. As would this:
Note that Rep has confirmed DLC is not restricted to these characters.
they’ve covered all bases thereNote that Rep has confirmed DLC is not restricted to these characters.
Worth noting everything is from series already in the game aside from rocko and Jimmy Neutron. I don't think this means we aren't getting any new series though. It just means those two are pretty likely
could be like what they did with xander mobus and smash where they got them to record so much stuff they can’t leak who’s coming
That's most definitely what it is. I don't think most of those are planned. But the presence of Jimmy and Rocko does make those seires pretty likely for DLC imo"(since no other series that aren't in the game are present)
In the case of Rocko, there's also a datamined Suck-O-Matic item. Nicktoons crossovers prefer focusing only on series with playable characters in them, with those that have none only getting minor cameos at best. More minor than an item, that is.
No, but I think they were trying to stick to who Nickelodeon wouldn't argue with them over adding to NASB. Looking at the announcer clips, you have characters from:
Late but just remembered there is a Tiny Toons reboot coming. So they're actually on the more likely side now just because there's a product to promote (which seems to be the games mo)
It's just one of many shows Nick has reran. I wouldn't consider its Nick history any more or less stronger than Inspector Gadget's.
Honestly, I feel Smash and Mortal Kombat ruined the concept of guest characters. Once they were this fun thing when they were handled in moderation - one or two per game, never to return again - but now it's kinda expected that having one will create a slippery slipe you can never climb back up of guest after guest after guest with the main IP getting no love.
MK didn't abuse the concept of guest characters being more hype as much as SSBU has. At least half of 11's DLC characters are actual MK characters. (7 MK characters vs. 5 guests)
Agreed. Guest characters used to feel like, well, guests, someone special who shows up for a unique occasion but doesn't define the tone of the event itself. Nowadays, though, a game can't have a guest character without taking away from the original focus of the game itself and giving way to people shouting "where's Goku?" Before you know it, every game is an incoherent brand-fest even when that wasn't what it was in the first place. It's why I honest-to-god prefer games with wholly original rosters and maybe a few guest characters to full-blown crossover events - Rivals of Aether strikes a perfect balance in my opinion where it only has two guest fighters and they both bring their own unique gimmicks and locales from their respective games, making them truly feel like "guests" and not just a random "look who we got!" IP flex. They don't open the floodgates for people asking for characters like Mario or Sonic or whoever because that's not what the game is about, even despite their inclusions.
MK's been able to take risks with selling its own characters as DLC for its own series. Bo Rai Cho is considered one of the worst parts of the worst MK Era (and Ed Boon would agree with that)...and yet he was DLC for MKX.
Shaun the Sheep, photorealistic car, Japanese magazine Bubsy, and random anime girl in Mario Maker >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Link and Isabelle in Mario Kart
The Best guest characters are those that make no sense whatsoever
You say that like MK8 didn't also have the Mercedes-Benz GLA plus two extra Mercedes cars for whatever reason. Silver Arrow mains where you at?
They should've gone further and had the cars driving the cars, or at the very least license out the Vauxhall griffin.
