Yah, you're right, I'm just being fearful. I know that regardless of who it is some group of idiots is going to be annoying about it. However though, my thought process here was based on precedent. Like, if Hayabusa makes it he's a guaranteed to be labeled "boring anime swordfighter" or "generic ninja" by the ignorant crowd and not only that, he falls under Terry's category of not being a very well known character overall, but still being an important icon in his own right... and then Terry got called "Hat Ken". So I'm especially worried for his case, cause Hayabusa is such a cool character.
As for Rayman. I have no doubt that Rayman would be received well by most of the crowd, and I know that there's crossover between so many Crash and Rayman fans... but I'm so worried by the "entitled" Crash fans and the "Crash is a lock" people. It's kind of showing that Crash is the most popular character in speculation for FP2. He's been hyped up for a whiiiiile, and if there's a scenario where he doesn't make it, they WILL point fingers at anything, even to characters like Pyra and Sephiroth who have absolutely no bearing on his chances to get in.
I'm just pretty sour right now cause I just got a character that I really really wanted and who deserves to be in the game, but it saddens me how a lot of people are being so hateful towards them. There's a specific user who's just posting hateful stuff on Sakurai's tweets and that just puts a bad taste in my mouth. I know I'm not supposed to let it get to me, I got the character I wanted, so why else should I complain? But dude... this community has just gotten WAY more toxic and entitled in the last year or so that I just want this thing to be done with fast... If only people could be more open minded about who gets added instead of having high expectations for every single slot.
At least I've got you guys. Y'all are cool.
