Bruh.

Those numbers are fine.

I'd sell your left nut for 450,000 units moved.
I wouldn’t say they are fine considering how big japan is. Not to much that even source gaming agrees it sold poorly and there’s this:

Which points out how japan had very lackluster reception to be character.

That was ultimately his undoing imo

SourceGaming also said Arle Nadja had a 70% chance of getting into Ultimate and that Geno would only get in as a Mii Gunner echo. They're not above saying outright dumb things.

Japan is absolutely tiny compared to North America. Shovel Knight did fine there, all things considered.

Why would it flopping in Japan be any reason to deny Shovel Knight when both Ridley and Dark Samus were confirmed to have gotten in thanks to the Western audience?

I'm pretty sure Shovel Knight did well enough if we gpt him as an assist. He just needs that extra push to get his chance another day.

It kinda looks like they tried to include him if I'm gonna be honest, judging by what he does as an assist.
This is what I'm thinking too.

Lotta ATs this time around with conspicuously full movesets. Feel like some of them just didn't get enough time to percolate.

Well for one.

Arle was on of the top contenders for japan from the ballot. So the chance really isn’t wrong with how easy it be to get here.

as for Geno. He got a 50/50 as a unique fighter and like 60 as an echo. They said it could happen not that push fully thought That. They later retracted the echo part because push realized that whoever did the interview translated stuff wrong or something among those lines.

As indivual scores are made by whoever does it, while opinions vary per person. But I’m the articles on source gaming talking shovel knight it’s well thought he was not received well.

And sure japan is tiny but they could have definitely done better. It’s not the worse sale figures but not the best. I don’t think it was enough for Sakurai to take notice and know well who he was. The assist trophy probably came about from the western side of things:

Why would it flopping in Japan be any reason to deny Shovel Knight when both Ridley and Dark Samus were confirmed to have gotten in thanks to the Western audience?
Ridley had some decent support in japan and didnt dark Samus?

Regardless one is an echo, the other has been requested by many for years so it makes complete sense for him to finally be added. So far only K. Rool is said to have been directly influenced by ballot results.

Friendly reminder that Japan's console market has been declining for years, so for an unknown property to them like Shovel Knight moving 450,000 units is actually really commendable.

It's considered great for a game to sell a mere 100,000 units on launch week in Japan.

SourceGaming's translations are the only good thing it has tbh, the Rate That Character is probably the worst thing that they ever did.

And to put it into perspective, some characters already in Smash wish their games sold 450k worldwide, never mind just Japan.

Decent support or not, the mere fact that he specifically mentionned it was thanks to Western fans shows that he wants to please as many people as possible.

That means no bias towards Japan, so stop using Japanese audiences as a genuine argument.

Source Gaming really went downhill ever since they had a guy write articles about Sonic like how Sonic Unleashed is a great game. That guy was a hack and had a negative influence on the whole site.

It's sad really.

That wasn’t my argument though.

And bias or not, Sakurai is not going to add every character the west wants or every character the east wants(rip Ashley).

He still will reject characters for various reasons regardless of demand

Sonic Unleashed is a great game...if you only play the day time stages.

So I'm not the only one who find Source Gaming's Rate The Character to be really meh all around? Like some of the character they review feel like filler to me, I get that it's the fan that ask for them, but what's the point of rating characters who really have no real chance at all? Like Devil or Barbara? Especially if you don't bring up many good point for their inclusion and just say "Yeah, they could be nice, but there is just too many thing against them, so no".

Not to say that everything they do is bad, but those type of videos in particular are like the "obligatory" videos they need to put on so that their subscribers have something to watch until the better but harder to make videos are made. Which isn't a bad thing per say, long good video takes times I get that, but I feel like they could do better than that.

Disney said that it's up to SE if Sora goes in other games.
I know Disney said that, but fact of the matter is, Disney higher ups like money, so while the marketing people and guys at Disney who help work on Kingdom Hearts might be cool with it, their bosses may want Nintendo to pay out a huge price for the licensing fee, which Nintendo Execs would most likely not sign off on.

Shantae is also popular both in japan and oversees, while shovel knight flopped in japan.

This is fair but as I said above, shovel knight flopped in japan ultimately making that work pointless. The east likes him still but not west which ultimately hurt him if I had to guess and is why he’s an assist.
Wait, don't you the West likes him, but not the East?

Not really, since they straight up say, don't take everything they say as fact, since its just the opinion from their point of view. Plus Push and the SG Staff has even made it clear, don't take this videos as 100% fact on the characters they rate.

Sonic Unleashed is a great game...if you only play the day time stages.

And if then, the day stages arel just a auto-runners, after all. :troll:

They do him, cause people like seeing their favourite characters discussed. Plus, you aren't meant to take it as 100% fact, its just a bunch of opinions.

I know that, but I feel like they could expand a bit more on why so and so characters could have a chance, sometime I feel like their videos are just too short, but maybe that's just me.

I think they did Rex in the past, but I am not 100% sure.

Yes that’s what I meant sorry.

And if Disney did get involved with Sora and smash(which I don’t think they would that much), it probably be their games department not Disney themselves.

And the games department seem fine and well intact with the fandom.

I don’t understand why those idiotic furries are attacking him when he didn’t even get her fired and he actually got her a better job at nasa.
This is so clise to making me not even like Anthro animals / furries anymore. I still hold my ground that she didnt deserve a 2nd chance but for the community to bully this man off twitter.. a freaking war vet and cancer survivor.

It's quite hypocritical to say someone should lose their job for one(1) tweet that didn't harm anyone but to then defend the idea that "online personas" do not represent how someone is irl and that people shouldn't be condemned for it.

1) she told a big named person to suck her **** and balls. The person she was going to work under and former NASA engineer.
2) Just like how those 2 waluigi fans gave waluigi fans everywhere a bad name, thats whats happening here, these few furries are giving furries a bad name. You may not like it but one rotten apple can ruin a whole basket

Feel free to yell, well not yell,but you are gonna have to try hard to make me change my mind-
