Completely agreed. There's a huge difference between "Not your grandpa's crossover" and "what the **** are you doing?!"
This is also a crossover that cut loads of iconic vets for a demented old woman in a clear display if tone-deafness. I love the stages, but the character take center stage alongside them.
You know there's more to a fighting game than the characters, right? Like, this game's gonna kick ass with or without all four Turtles.
How do y'all look at honest-to-God the best showcase we've seen so far and immediately go full Debbie Downer over cuts? If this is how it's gonna be every day until release, count me out.
You gotta stop acting like it was a conscious choice between 11 characters and Arnold's grandma.
Considering how much these guys love to troll...
Not making Gertie didn't mean they'd magically have the resources to make 11 non-grandmas.
Its more that she's an example of the team's skewed priorities. Especially since, unlike Hugh, this was a character nobody was asking for.
I think that this actually is a leak for who is getting cut. Lincoln, CatDog, Oblina, and Shredder are the only missing veterans who are staying. At least we won't lose two whole franchises from the game if this is the case.
That is literally what Drifloon is trying to imply.
Yeah. It is. I'm just stating my support.
Look at all of that red... it's so ****ing over lmaoooo.
This isn't just about Gertie tho. Like, Donnie and Raph feels unnecessary if they didn't bother adding Leo and Mikey. Beavers feels unnecessary if it meant removing CatDog and Oblina. Azula feels unnecessary if it meant cutting Toph. Nothing on this roster make sense aside from arguably Squidward taking Sandy spot.
The point is everyone is using the one WTF character as the scapegoat for the characters that didn’t make it. Same thing happens every Smssh game.
Keep proving me right about the Gertie scapegoating for all the good you think it's doing.
Every day, my disdain for Smash fans grows. They're the ONLY people I've seen be this obsessive over roster "slots" to the point that they're willing to blame one wacky pick for all the game's shortcomings. Duck Hunt got off easy compared to the lashing Gertie's already getting.
The way I'm seeing it, they wanna go all in on creating a new experience instead of just polishing what we already have. I'm even not saying that as necessarily a good thing or a bad thing or telling you to treat it like either, I'm just saying that the devs are doing a different style of sequels compared to something like Smash, where installments can often be iterative and being seen as a sort of "replacement" or "upgrade" to the previous game. As seen before, this game is changing up the mechanics a lot, overhauling grabs, removing projectile reflections, adding the slime meter, a whole host of changes and alterations that can make it feel like a whole different beast than the first game. Not better, not worse, just different.
I felt like I was going insane watching people **** on Duck Hunt. I’ve seen Duck Hunt Dog requested for years and suddenly when he happens everyone doesn’t want him anymore?
I never had an issue with Duck Hunt's inclusion. They weren't coming at the cost of Pikachu or Link, and Smash cuts tend to be either super minor in the grand scheme of things (Wolf, Lucas, Ice Climbers, etc) or super difficult to get back 3rd parties (Snake, nearly Cloud). That and unlike the Climbers, Duck Hunt was a memorable part of Nintendo's history amd actually a good Retro pick. Duck Hunt was a GREAT pick!
See, that’s the thing. They put in Gertie because she’s the WTF character not because they thought she deserved it more than Lincoln.
Don't write it off like that, your gonna let the game fail
Yes because we totally want a sequel where half the roster is cut out. Like whose decision was this to think this was a good idea?
Or you're putting too much thought into this. At the end of the day this is a company that's used to producing shovelware, they clearly put zero thought into NASB's marketing and anything associated with it since they casually put in NASB 1 footage depicting cut characters and their voices with little thought of the reception, some could even classify this as false advertisement.
Sorry friend, it's their money and if they're dissatisfied with a product then that's all there is to it. Especially when the game is selling itself for a steep price again lol.
He was, but tell that to people around the time of the ESRB Leak. People HATED Duck Hunt at first and treated their inclusion as some ungodly sin, even if they came around to them and eventually forgot that they exist.
it's not the same for every game to be fair. These things have a lot of variables
Hoping and waiting for now...

Timmy, Zuko, Otis, and Maddie Fenton if Oblina and CatDog come back. If not, nix Zuko and Maddie.
Yes, I would. Provided they receive some changes and get the necessary polish, I'd be completely fine with having veterans as DLC. I feel no differently about it than other fighters really.
Lincoln, Mikey/Leo, Oblina, CatDog
