I just came here since the world ended but really there is hate? I'm not excited about Corrin myself, but with Bayonetta this game is instantly perfect. I went into it hoping for so many characters, and the moment I saw Bayonetta I realized those wishes were terrible compared to her. Corrin is like a bonus. He looks cool anyway.
But BAYONETTA. My God.
BAYONETTA.
I know
I mean if you look at k rool, wolf, snake, Shante, bandana Dee, shovel, banjo and kazooie not getting in. And should have Ben in bayonetta's place (bare in mind she did deserve the win.) or should have Ben more winners since it should have Ben 3 winners
A lot of people are salty about this
But it's significatly less salt outside smash boards
And I feel proud of those people.
I don't feel hate for Corrin, just indifference and a little bit of sadness. It's not that I think they're bad or anything (their moveset looks cool and it's unique, which gives them bonus points), it just feels very "blah" from the standpoint of a character being introduced to Smash. There wasn't any bang to it, it was just "oh that's a thing, k". Most people haven't had the chance to get attached to them the same way they got attached to Robin or Lucina.
I'll probably end up enjoying the character to some degree (if I get Fates I might even love them, although I'm not sure if I'll bother with getting it), but that's not really what I'm getting at with this.
Admittedly Smashboards probably has the most intense opinions when it comes to characters being added to Smash, I think maybe we tend to have very specific desires too. Whereas people outside of Smashboards probably have a very wide selection of characters they'd like to see.
I just feel a little sad that people obnoxiously expect you to love and feel thankful for characters you never wanted in the first place. How does that make ANY sense? You can accept it sure, but I don't think it means you have to like or appreciate it in any way. That's just unreasonable.
I love Bayonetta's addition, but I certainly don't expect everyone to appreciate it or even be thankful for her. I mean I've seen plenty of people show their strong distaste for her in the past so I think it would be insanity for me to turn around and tell them to be grateful for getting something they were clearly against.
I wish more people would be understanding of this mindset. It's not that "argghhhh I'm so mad I hate Sakurai and this game sux now!!!" standpoint. It's just respectful disappointment, and there's nothing wrong with airing that disappointment. Everyone should be allowed to have their say.
Do any of these look not wanted to you?
(Dr Mario is because of the old Mario moveset is in him.)
The ones we diden't exspect or not requested got loved later
The only hate I see is from these guys
And because of no k rool, wolf, Isaac, shovel knight, banjo and kazooie, snake, Rayman,
And should have Ben more ballot winners,
we can't get everything we want that how life goes, get over it.
