Social NintenZone Social 6.0 - L'Arachel Edition, Apparently?

[Idon]

Here's a point of discussion.

How would you feel if the next Smash game was an entirely single-player/co-op centric experience, basically the opposite of Smash Wii U/3DS and to a lesser extent, Ultimate?

Like it brought back trophies and didn't have a traditional VS mode, but it did have all of the characters from Ultimate and it's DLC and a few new ones too?

And it would have a full on story mode and tons of platforming levels and other modes like an open Great Maze mode and so on?

I ask because I feel at this rate, the singleplayer is the one thing that seems to suffer more and more, the more the other aspects of the game improve. They just don't have time to do it with all of the other things they have going on. I'm not saying Ultimate's offerings look absolutely awful, but they do look rushed since they are all so similar, especially with people think Spirits and World of Light are the same mode.

I also think that Ultimate is beyond perfect when it comes to the multiplayer offerings and such. Potentially really laggy online aside (which is honestly out of the Smash team's control), there really isn't anything they can add, at least nothing that is substantially needed.

They could of course reboot the series and revamp old characters like Mario and Link, but that will inevitably cause salt. I'd be interested in a complete genre shift, like making it a 3D arena fighter like Dissidia, but those aren't near as popular as 2D fighters. Ultimately, those aren't scratching an itch many are asking for.

What they haven't been able to properly succeed in though, is actually utilising characters and representing them well, and getting a lot of character interactions in. Some characters always get shafted in that regard, especially when Sakurai bias kicks in. And of course the actual platforming and adventuring stuff always gets shafted. These are actually things people have been vocal about wanting from Smash. As it is, these characters are here together, but it rarely means anything as they don't get to interact.

So I think this would make sense after Ultimate. We likely aren't otherwise going to get a second Smash game on Switch, and the Switch is likely gonna have a longer than average lifespan. I think this would be justified for them to try. They don't even need Sakurai to do it either since they would be re-using the characters as they are in Ultimate.

I dunno. Just a thought.

Gonna be blunt here: I'd absolutely hate that choice and I'd question buying it.
No matter the quality of the singleplayer experience, it's limited and it could never hope to achieve the things a competitive game would.
It'd go against everything I love about Smash sans its roster.

Frankly, I care about the competitive nature of Smash above anything else, and the only thing I'd personally want is if the reboot focused on these aspects (keeping the gameplay also simple to understand) and the roster above random singleplayer gamemodes. Also a RANKED ONLINE.
The most I want in terms of character interactions is dialogue before and after a match ala DBFZ. Story taking a backseat to the gameplay.

 

[ChikoLad]

Eh, story is like, the thing I'd least care for in Smash. Though I did like subspace, if only they just ditched the maze and added in some actual video game enemies and not the OC smash enemies that hardly anyone cared for.

You don't even need any prerendered cutscenes, I just liked platforming through levels with different characters. And again, I'd hope those levels are mostly recognizable locations from smash and not just some generic locations.

As for the reboot, I'd also be against it. Most arguments I've heard for it are to balance the game or to make the gameplay more complex. Both of which I feel defeat the purpose of why Smash is even so popular in the first place. The fact that I saw so many reactions upset just that the starting roster for this game was the original roster. LMAO.

I mean in that case that just means you don't buy a single-player Smash game.

But I mean, in general, I don't see where else the series would go that's still viable and in line with what a lot of people want.

I should also clarify that I don't really care about story either. I care about the character interactions and adventure/RPG aspects. But we don't get those to their full potential in the current games because resources are split between single-player and multiplayer, with the latter eating the majority. But if they just made a single-player only game after Ultimate, that uses Ultimate as a base, there is no issue, and Ultimate will continue to thrive for years with it's multiplayer offerings.

So this was shared over on a Discord server I'm part of, and I thought I'd share it here too: Warchamp7 from Smashboards made a Smash Ultimate roster maker that you can make yourself. In this roster, you put in all the characters that you plan on using for Smash Ultimate.

Here's the link to the roster maker: https://apps.warchamp7.com/smash/rosterUlt/

Below is the roster that I made. The decreasing size of the boxes indicates how much I will main the character.

Greninja and Chrom will be my primary mains, while Pichu and Corrin will be my secondaries.

Cloud, Lucario, and Shulk will be my runner-up secondaries just as they were in Smash 4.

The rest of them characters I've used an had fun with before and I wouldn't mind giving them another spin for Smash Ultimate along with new ones that I want to try (Snake is also my Project M main, while Wolf and Toon Link were my secondaries in Brawl).

I can't wait to see what rosters you guys will make!

Did mine earlier.

Blue: Likely mains
Red: Very interested
Yellow: At least for fun
Grey: What did they do to you? Will try and make her work but likely getting demoted. I'll at least use her Spirit/amiibo or something....

[Mythra]

Many people already hate the fact that there's too many FE characters, imagine how pissed so many people would be if some Gacha game character that hasn't been on a Nintendo platform made it in. LMAO

Fjorm will be the second DLC

My foresight is telling me that.

 

[Ivander]

By what I've read, she's apparently gotten at the beginning of Granblue Fantasy and is involved with one of the important characters, so she's alot like what Fjorm is to Book 2 in FEH. So basically, Katalina is one of the characters that everybody gets and is apparently involved in the story quite a bit, so any Granblue player would know her.
That aside, she does have multiple versions of herself.
https://gbf.wiki/Katalina
So besides her main look, she can get inspiration or moves from her other versions to add to her moveset. And her other forms can provide ideas for alternate costumes...including her Swimsuit version. *looks at Shulk*

Oh, besides her multiple versions, she does in fact have outfits that aren't for a separate version.
https://gbf.wiki/images/9/9c/Katalina_Luck_Be_a_Lady.png
https://gbf.wiki/images/2/29/KatalinaKimono.png
So yeah, tons of ideas for alternate costumes.

That aside, something I realised is how many people would flock to Saber if Katalina got in? Considering Grand Order, another popular Gacha mobile game and the fact that Arthuria is on a Nintendo system. *looks at Extella*

No I'd buy it, I just think that the story is not worth investing in beyond what subspace was. And by story, I mean plot, not story mode just to clarify.

But I mean, in general, I don't see where else the series would go that's still viable and in line with what a lot of people want.

Smash is one of those franchises where you hardly change a thing and not only do people still buy it, but people still argue and get upset/excited by very, very minuscule changes.

I should also clarify that I don't really care about story either. I care about the character interactions and adventure/RPG aspects. But we don't get those to their full potential in the current games because resources are split between single-player and multiplayer, with the latter eating the majority. But if they just made a single-player only game after Ultimate, that uses Ultimate as a base, there is no issue, and Ultimate will continue to thrive for years with it's multiplayer offerings.

It really depends, if it's just like subspace then I'd think it'd be worth at 30 the most.

If they're FE support type interactions, I wouldn't be interested. But interaction between cutscenes? Sure.

Yeah, I think that's the big thing. You could have so many playable characters which is what makes a game like FEH so good and fun, being able to get your fave no matter how obscure or small their hands they may be.

 

[Deleted member]

TFW Bayonetta's last two appearances in computer graphics imagery feature her getting killed. Sort of? Split into half in one teaser for a non-existent video game as far as today is concerned, beamed in another (well, an actual trailer at least for an adventure mode of a party game I mean, a platform fighter)...

I'd like to present you to the logical successor to Kenny McCormick.

Also, I have no idea who I'll play as due to my lack of extreme enthusiasm for the game, even though I'll get it regardless for the core gameplay (as much as I'm burned out of multiplayer games on Switch). I don't want to play as many characters either, and I don't see myself getting into competitive jargon/matchups/whatever. I'd joke drawing is objectively much more important an endeavor. I suppose I could play in a hybrid style in that I'm still not too serious about it but I use some of the rules used by tourney players for matches.

I know I'm comparing apples to oranges, but after playing the Bayo games so much, I feel like I'm more into how she works in her own games than in Smash Bros., so adapting to the control scheme of the latter may be a tad bit confusing. Well, that's something I'll have to see if I do end up re-using her.

As you can see, I like Mega Man...

 

[Ura]

I gotta say i've really warmed up to the idea of Spirits in Smash Bros and i'm looking forward to playing that mode a lot.

Basically it's like Trophies but people actually care about them now lol. I hope there's still a section where you can view said character's history like they did with Trophies though.

 

[Ivander]

Jojalole
There was an epilogue to the new cinematic.

If Ashe's motorbike having the picture of her and McCree back then wasn't enough, this short definitely seems to kick up the shipping sail. Her totally-not-Tsundere attitude in this doesn't help. Also, gotta love Bob.

 

[ChikoLad]

Yeah, I think that's the big thing. You could have so many playable characters which is what makes a game like FEH so good and fun, being able to get your fave no matter how obscure or small their hands they may be.

Not to mention they could get some Pixiv artists to draw the characters. Or go the extra mile and get some iconic artists associated with particular franchises to provide new art for those characters, like the various artists for Fire Emblem, Naoto Oshima or Yuji Uekawa for Sonic, etc. I already know some Pixiv artists I'd like for certain characters if they pick that route.

I suppose I could play in a hybrid style in that I'm still not too serious about it but I use some of the rules used by tourney players for matches.

This was generally how I always played Smash Wii U/3DS. However, I've become so cynical towards online fighting games and the laziness of single-player content in fighting games that I really just want decent single-player modes now. It might even encourage me to play online more if I had them, because there would be some variety in my gameplay.

Considering how ticked off Medusa was at being repeatedly sent to die and what one of the Underworld boss repeats was I get the feeling Twinbellows isn't being nearly as appreciated as that implies.
