I knew Chorus Men would be there!!

This isn't just aimed at you but I always see people say Dixie or K. Rool, what's wrong with both? Putting aside my bias, they're both all-stars with unique moveset potential, and DK can easily warrant 4 characters (at least).

As one of the people who firmly believes only one will get in and not both, it's got nothing to do with them as characters.

DLC is limited, and I don't think they're going to use two of the remaining spots on DK characters. If there was a large amount left, sure, but I'm only expecting around 2-5, and just don't see more than one being from DK.

I'm not necessarily speaking about in terms of DLC, obviously having 2 newcomers from the same franchise as DLC is probably not going to happen. But even before the game came out people would always say Dixie or K. Rool, like they have to pick one and whichever one got picked, the other one couldn't be picked.

Ohhhh, in that case, yeah, there was really no reason why people would guess one or the other. They both could've made it on the base game for sure.

That sort of thing (Only one newcomer per series) happened with a lot of franchises, and always has. I like to compare the K. Rool vs Dixie thing to Wolf vs Krystal from Brawl's roster speculation days. Mario is another series that got hit hard by this belief; Mario newcomer speculation sorta died after Rosalina's confirmation. Captain Toad was pretty much the only name for Mario that came up after she was confirmed. Bowser Jr was a frontrunner from pre-Brawl all the way up to Rosalina's trailer, at which point he pretty much vanished.

Go back and look at pretty much any roster prediction list, and you're likely to find only one newcomer per series, except for, like, Pokemon.

I wonder what second/third party is hardest to work with. HAL, Game Freak, Namco, Capcom, SEGA, Intelligent Systems, Itoi or Monolithsoft.

Game Freak may be the winner as they wouldn't allow Pikachu Yoshis to be a thing.

You forgot Ubisoft.:p

They're the easiest to work with because Sakurai doesn't care about making Rayman playable.

Unlike MN9's, these literally feel like ripoffs.

Like come on Call here looks exactly like Roll
Click to expand...
I actually feel the same way about MN9's Call. (It was a good design, but I really wish that one didn't win)

Wait, this girl's name is Call too? Wtf?

EDIT: asdklfgdaslkg I just noticed the names. I get that this is Inafune but jesus christ why is he trying so hard making a Not-Mega Man series like that? I wish he was a bit more original

I'm kinda turned off by this by just how blatant this game is trying be.

If they ever do something stupid like make a Not-Battle Network and expect me to donate I'm gonna lose my mind

The funny thing is, people weren't necessarily asking for "a new Legends game" people were asking for "a new Legends game that follows the plot of MML2".

I mean, even if Redash turns out okay, it's still not Legends 3 and it still won't get Volnutt off the moon.

Short development times and a bunch of weaponry feeling similar, especially the shields
Click to expand...
Ah yeah, the weapons definitely took a hit since Mega Man 4. I think it wasn't until Mega Man 9 they started having a great weapon set again. Although it was pretty amazing how they managed to make Mega Man 7 in a span of a few months, given they had to make whole new assets and all.

As far as the Mighty No 9 series goes (I can't believe it's a series now before we even get our first game lol), I feel turned off by how 1:1 it is to Mega Man without any copyright infringement. I am all for Mega Man inspired games, but I wish they would deviate themselves a bit more.

Yep, it's similar to why my hype for ReVen died, looked too much like it's source material without anything going for it

I am witnessing a Pokemon TCG deck win Nationals without attacking.


EDIT: However, he didn't take the National Championship.

Yeah. I played for a couple years, so I know this. Starting hearing about it while watching the Video Game championships, so I went to watch it.

I was never really able to get into the game...some of those cards are a beauty to look at, though. I love the 'pop out' design on the Level X cards.

I'd agree if they had some of the tracks that play when you fight Metal Sonic. His boss theme in Sonic 4, Stardust Speedway and What I'm Made Of. Especially the last one

Funny thing about that is that I'm also someone who kind of dropped Bowser Jr from my prediction after Rosalina was announced. I thought for sure we'd get a Mario newcomer, and thought it would probably be BJ, with a slightly smaller chance of Waluigi. Rosalina kind of came out of left field as I don't think I saw a single mention of her until they revealed her as an unlockable for SM3DW, and even then most people wrote that off as unlikely!

On the topic of music content, but I hate to be bias but damn, :4littlemac: got short end of the stick with songs. I know the series music isn't a big note but damn 3 different versions of the Fight theme and one Jogging Remix was sort of small.

I saw mentions of Punch-Out music.

You can't bring up Punch-Out themes without mentioning this.
