I mean Smash doesn't even have air smash attacks (for most characters) so I'm fine with them just being aerial versions. I do hope that in the future there will be a distinction between neutral and side attacks/specials, and directional throws like in Smash, but for now I think it's a well-rounded set of options.
ok but imagine if they had the gumption to reveal the Avatar characters officially around the same time as the final Smash character
Smash Ultimate's newcomers do this quite a bit too tbf (the earlier ones anyways, namely Incin, Joker and Hero)
That'd be fine all and all, if the splash preview for those who ordered the game digitally didn't boldly show them off.
Yeah, though most you cited are DLC, which has reduced budget overall.
That would be very funny... though I really hope they are shown at least before the game is actually.... you know... out.
Yes, this. No one wants to play their character blind, least of all a bunch of elementalists who for all we know may have different mechanics than all the characters who have been shown off up to that point.
...Yeah, with a game like this, I'd prefer even a little bit of info about a character than none at all before I play them.
Probably if it wasn't for them being leaked.
They did stress they have a low budget. If Smash did something like this I would understand the outrage because its budget is astronomically larger than this game.
Actually there's directionnal throws, there's back, forward, down and up like Smash. It's just that there's barely any throws animations so it's not that obvious.
At this point they might as well skip the trailers for them and just directly go to moveset showcases. Sorry, fans of GET READY GET READY.
It's gotta be this week. The game is out next week and the characters are such an open secret at this point it's honestly staggering they're still holding onto them.
Oh Man, he used the Spongebob Tongue Slide Track from Attack of the Toybots. Nice!
Yeah, as much as I love that song, those trailers really move too fast to really tell how the characters shown off fight, so I'd honestly prefer showcases at this point.
Considering that SpongeBob's jumps reference Nicktoons Unite!, of all things, they definitely dug deep.
Yeah, exactly. At this rate I'm fully expecting the Gaang to get dropped on launch day, especially if PTM and/or Reptar show up in the next three days.
PTM isn't the mascot of a show though, just the mascot of his brand of cereal, Powdered Toast. It tastes just like sawdust!
I think it still isn't up for digital PlayStation preorders, for whatever reason...
They're both cereal mascots in particular, yeah. Not a bad duo to detail together if they end up doing it, though obviously it's not the best connection of all time.
mmm sawdust 0u0
To be fair, Patrick also gets beat up sometimes. But yeah, SB can only take so much stalling.
I think "the Gaang" might be my favorite way I've heard people refer to the Avatar characters.
No wonder Jimmy Neutron won't make it until DLC. Spongebob wasn't why his show was canceled!
Boy, now i think i'll make that the idea for a comic i'm thinking of doing based on spongebob in the showcases.
Just a little too stupid for me despite it being a little funny. Avatar is a huge franchise with a huge fanbase, revealing them after launch is anti-hype af when it'd be far more beneficial to bring such a large series in the limelight with character reveals. They received 3 reps before many Nick shows they have to reveal them unless the marketing team is filled to the brim with morons.
