Just leave Yoshi alone. Leave him be. Please. He's in that perfect sweet spot where he's top-tier, but not enough to require a nerf. Make him better and they'll be tempted to nerf him in the next patch.
Let me borrow that magic wand, when you're done with it. I've got a couple programming projects at work that I'd rather get done, sooner rather than later. Poof. Done. Hurray!
The only difference is that we had the game to wait for news
I think people would be less antsy if we knew the state of future news updates. Ever since Iwata's death the most we've gotten are minor tweets. It's jarring to get used to (at least for myself still), nor do we know if we'll ever see a direct, or if it'll just remain tweets and/or going to events and doing reveals (TGS would be a good time to start with Nippon based Nintendo).
Gamers are impatient. This is nothing new. A simple squeak from the floor can somehow turn into an elaborate leak/rumor, fueled by little more than wishful thinking and unfounded speculation. Since the squeaky floor tells them what they want to hear, they will turn to the floor, and the many "floor whisperers" that pop up, for guidance.
Agreed. People are waayy too impatient. We can easily wait until October at worst.
I think we were a little bit spoiled by Ryu Roy and Lucas. After Mewtwo was released we only had to wait for barely even 2 months before we suddenly got 3 characters, 2 stages and a truckload of other things. The reality of it is that we were given those (along with the costumes and stages that came with tourney mode) to tide us over for the wait for more new content.
Look... I just want them to buff Pit (or Dark Pit I'm not picky)
I think it's moreso that even during that time we had something announced that wasn't released yet.
Basically, but people are expecting a surprise of some sorts. Dont get your hopes up....
It's happened quite a few times. The only real difference here is that it's occurring around the same time as the last DLC update.
At least he had the decency to put 99% fake in the title this time. -_-
Hey Push, the White alt for Falcon is Jodie Summers colored alt (her first appearance was F-Zero X). Just a heads up
What's funny is that he spends 4 minutes advertising his shirt.
It's a direct translation. If the SG article doesn't mention Jodie Summers, Sakurai's original article probably didn't either.
To be honest I thought it was just him talking about his shirts.
It's a bit depressing that we're at a point where we have to give props to someone for not giving their video a clickbait title.
Thanks Burb.
that's a little silly. like, it wasn't explicitly stated, but (for example) falcon has a costume that just happens to have the exact color scheme of another f-zero character?
Sakurai might have mentioned it somewhere on the ballot response pages, but unless he does then I personally don't consider it 100% true.
Frostwraith
. Maybe "inspired" by, but it's not a direct reference.The article is a translation of an article by Sakurai. It's not a list of what we think each costume is referencing.
Yes, it's still not official unless officially confirmed. Until then, it's just officially a coincidence. Besides, I'm not sure if it really officially matters whether or not the reference was officially intentional or not. For all we know, the color choice may not even have been made by Sakurai himself, and he most likely has no time to confirm every bit of fan speculation.
i didn't say that. i specifically quoted the "unofficial until proven" section, omitting that about the article.
It doesn't matter.
Basically this (if my last post didn't clear it up).
no, it's not about the article. it's about a statement PDI made that was related to the article. it's pretty obvious that it's a direct translation.
For me, at the end of the day...it doesn't fully matter unless there's a source behind it. It's how I roll with information.
Agree with the first part of your rational. Sakurai approves every single detail in the game. He's crazy. Hal Labs based the coloring/ shading of Smash 64 based on how it looked on Sakurai's T.V. They talked about adjusting the color of the warp pipes in the Mushroom Kingdom stage. The dude acted out most(if not all?) of the characters in Subspace Emissary so they could be reanimated by hand. Sakurai has the final say 100% of the way.
