idk if anyone else pointed it out, but I wonder if the orange skin with purple wings is a nod to a certain cartoon series... it was probably just a coincidence though, but it's hilariousRidley has 8 skins already, not including his Meta skin:
Could it be the meta form just has one skin? Or does it have multiple pallet swaps of the meta form...
Could there be a chance that we might get every stage from previous Smash titles minus Miiverse?
it is a nintendo ip but it's WAY too new to expect anything from it, the mech figure likely references the skells from Xenoblade X, whather that means a character or not is yet to be seen though I guess
Not sure, but the mech figure was bought primarily for the little machine gun, and the credits in the trailer for that game did not show his name. I'm still keeping my eye out for a newcomer wielding a machine gun in some way, shape, or form.
I've got a feeling that we're gonna get about 100 stages in this game.
Really high, I think if it didn't happen, Bayonetta wouldn't have that "among realizable characters" disclaimer.
High. If he feels that individual to not have potential for a unique moveset.
Wow, now that's scary. Imagine how fans would react if their wanted character did not get in, even if they were high on the ballot.
It's been confirmed to not be a port. However, it's very obvious the game's engine and assets are heavily recycling stuff from 4. A lot of how the game plays as well is very similar to 4. It's faster and updated, but many elements of it feel like an enhanced version of 4. So it's not a port persay, but it is most certainly building off the last game.
Your guess is as good as anyone elses' Dunno what you want anyone to tell you. No one here know Sakurai personally. I'd say odds are very high he'll rely heavily on the ballot for his picks, all things considered though.
The mech design reminded me a lot of Xenoblade X.
I think it's very possible he's wrong.
Yeah, I think people expecting a nice 10+ newcomers not counting echo fighters might be in for a rough ride but oh well we will cross that bridge when we get to it.
That was just towards characters like Goku and Spongebob though last I checked.
Yeah, I can see that. I just hope Sakurai doesn't turn down a few fan favorites who had a high amount of votes on the ballot and not include them for whatever reason, especially my wanted character, K. Rool. Still, I can see him using the ballot for characters like you said. Just how many is the question.
But this is still supposed to be a brand new game, adding 5 newcomers and calling it a day is probably gonna rub people the wrong way since newcomers are what people want and are looking forward too, 8 unique characters like what melee had seems like a good minimum imo.
I think that disclaimer was more to address ridiculous picks like Goku or Shrek, that likely got many votes. I think in terms of viablity in terms of play, at this point, Sakurai has proven that you can pretty much make anyone work. None of the top picks are any more complex or weird than what's already in the game.
I just realized that since final smashes are more straight foward and cinematic that could be a good sign for a certain character that pilots a skell
The former Smash Bros. Infinite team is sweating bullets right now.
we're never seeing those ballot results anyway let's be real, there's really no way to know
Heh heh! Wouldn't be surprised if that happened. If I recall correctly, Sakurai is known for trolling fans, no? If he still does that, I can imagine this being the case.
Yea, that’s something I don’t want to happen.
I was just going to say that.
I'd say K.Rool is pretty much a given at this point. He was even acknowledged by Sakurai when made into a Mii Costume. Given how few newcomers he can add this time around, no doubt he's gonna go for fan favorites over quirky picks.
Thanks for that. I appreciate it.
True, but we did see results of fan polls from around. Granted, they most likely did not get votes from everyone who voted in the ballot, but in my eyes, they're close enough.
How much you... wanna bet?? :D
The distinct lack of Ashley makes me hopeful, but nervous. Because I just know it's just a matter of time until we see her pop out of that AT and crush my dreams.
but those fan polls are merely speculation that only really takes into account the hardcore fanbase and not casual gamers, there's no poll that can accurately represent the ballot results, bayonetta was fairly low on most of those polls but she probably won the ballot because of the casual fanbase.
That's why I said not everyone who voted in the ballot voted on the fan polls. Now, they may not be as close as before now, for reasons you mentioned, but to me, still close enough.
Yeah, when they were showing off the ATs, I was thinking to myself "please don't show Ashley, please don't show Ashley!" It would crush me if her AT self ends up being shown at a later time.
They won't react if they simply don't show the results, because you'll never get to know that they placed high in the first place. PR crisis averted.
Eh, I'm not sure about that, if that's the case, those characters were already disqualified, and there'd be no point adding the "realizable" since everyone would already understand those characters directly go against the rules (The Smash Ballot said video game characters), I think it's there purely for legal reasons (although, technically, if Shrek won, they might have needed that for legal reasons as well even if we all understand why he's not in, but I'd imagine it'd be "among characters originating in video games" instead of a word as vague in meaning as realizable, although keep in mind I'm no lawyer.).
