No, but I think the protagonist made an appearance in Aegis Defenders, which I did play. Is there a part where you run from a fiery wall of doom?
I really feel bad for Sora fans. From the get go he was a long shot because of legal/licensing reasons, but now with Hero I would say he has next to no chance. I mean Square is now getting a new fighter that has 4 different models. If they got another character after that it would make the fighter pass feel a little disjointed.
While I do agree, don't count the chickens yet. There is still some time left, heck that could be said the same for shantae and possibly others if another unique character took the spotlight in the near future.
My point is that with 5 spots, two of them going to one developer would seem a little uneven, especially when one of those slots is almost 4 characters model wise.
Sora is owned by Disney 100%. Not Square.
OK, I was operating with an understanding that the two companies had a dual ownership of that characters created for the Kingdom Hearts games.
I disagree. Now you don't technically have to go through two companies to get his rights, and Disney and Nintendo have a pretty good relationship, all things considered. Yeah, Disney likes to extend the courtesy of going through franchise creator and director Tetsuya Normura whenever KH is involved in anything, but it is not a requirement.
Yeah, if anything it's better to focus attention on other SE characters in the meantime. Lord knows people like Neku, Geno and other FF characters could get in with less issues.
That's really my point.
Ngggh. Too bad Rayman's chances are up in the air at the moment, with how Ubi doesn't push him that much right now.
This.
Maybe.
Or they might change it. Based on the titles so far.
Did i miss something? Why wouldnt you be welcome?Ok, since I'm no longer welcome here, I won't bother you anymore.
But I did want to say something positive here, before I disappear.
The reveal of Banjo-Kazooie marks the true death of the "Japan Only" argument, against certain character wishes.
It should've been dead with Diddy Kong the earliest and then definitely with King K. Rool and Dark Samus.
But people would always weasel their way out with "The series they're from is still japanese".
With Banjo-Kazooie now in the roster, that excuse is no longer viable.
And overall, with Ridley, King K. Rool, Dark Samus and now Banjo-Kazooie too, Ultimate marks the beginning of "Western Appreciation" in the Smash Bros series.
It may have been true that Smash didn't give much of a damn about anything Non-Japan before.
But it's clear that Ultimate did away with that and Smash now truly aims to make both japanese and western audiences happy, from this point forward.
Banjo-Kazooie opened a lot of doors.
And because of this, I believe Shantae has a damn good shot at getting into Smash now.
Even if she doesn't make it into Ultimate, I think a "Long Term Victory" is very possible..
And I'm looking forward to the new faces Smash will bring into the series.
Both as Ultimate DLC and in future Smash games.
As for the DLC-Period now...
With Sakurai taking a vacation soon, this Fighter's Pass might be the only DLC we'll get for Ultimate.
Again, stay neutral. Whatever happens, happens.
If Shantae will be in Ultimate... AWESOME!
But if not, that's a bummer.
But it's not the end of the world. It's still a great game.
A game that included a lot of characters that people wished for, no less.
Even if we won't get our wish in Ultimate, we might get our wish granted in a future Smash game at last.
After all, Patience is a virtue.
That's all I wanted to say.
Sorry to waste your time.
I'll disappear now...
That user unfortunately proved to lack thick skin in regards to criticism about Shantae's chances.
Exactly. I mean i am sure nintendo could do it without him but i doubt they would. From a business side more dlc makes sense, but nintendo is odd sometimes. I think they will give more dlc, but we dont know if it will be right away or later. Sakurao does need a break but he does keep doing this to himself, others arent making him work so hard.
I see...
That explains a lot sadly. Haven't seen her in a while.
It doesn't help that she was giving her opinion and a lot of people jumped her.
Yeah. My hunch is that we won't find out until February. Won't that be fun...
I think he wouldn't mind too much, since it's less work load than an entire base game, and it would give him a chance to make more people be happy, at least until both he and Nintendo think Ultimate has enough for its life cycle. Also, part of me wonders if they'll bring up other series he's fond of to persuade him.
And just couldn't seem to understand the going-ons in the board all that well.
That will get me rolling along with everyone else.
Incidentally, August is when the big indie Direct usually happens, and Erdrick/Luminary/Solo/Eight's arriving sometime in Summer.
Though, usually the Indie Directs doesn't have a smash announcment because of how big the shadow it will cast if one should appear. The other indies could be left in the dust or even forgotten.
Maybe. Though we still don't know what the deal with the stray Kirby footage on Twitch was.
Honestly, I'd say it's more just simply because Smash isn't an indie game. Don't matter what character gets revealed.
I think Indie.
