I know. I’m sorry if I seemed overzealous. Truth is none of us know who will and won’t make it in. We can only speculate and try to make guesses, and back them up.
If anything the ballot was probably to see who would be popular for this new game lol
Do I sound Japanese?
no, that sounds stupid
Sonic is 16 not 66, because even in Generations Eggman acknolwedges his past self as... you know, himself. His grandfather was Gerald Robotnik and only shares the old namesake for old namesakes.
Off the top of my head, probably Elma since XCX was released overseas during that time frame.
I have no idea how people honestly took sakurai saying "don't expect to many newcomers" to mean there's only a couple more. I just took it to mean there's less than brawl and smash 4 which had 18 and 15 newcomers respectively. I really can't imagine us getting less than like 8 at the very least. I mean if you really think about it with Wolf, Snake, Icies, Squirtle and Ivysaur that's 4 characters and then young link and pichu being clones that's another 1ish. 8 newcomers + 5ish vets give us 13 additions which is a fine total tbh, I could even see a couple more newcomers on top of that.
No, he's the grandson of Gerald Robotnik, who created Shadow long before Sonic was even born.
The Japan stuff is what's canon. Unless we wanna start calling Amy "Princess Sally" since that's what she was called in the American manual for Sonic CD.
I wasn't being that serious. But in Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and Fighters his initials are on the Wing Fortress and his fighting mech.
No. They're both the same guy.
Nah, don't worry.
That was kind of my point, really. If we only get 6-8 newcomers (+Inkling, Ridley and sort-of Daisy), that'd still be less than normal, but not as few as some people think.
I think you're thinking of Gerald Robotnik, our Dr. Robotnik/Eggman's grandfather.
Didn't Sakurai say he re-used assets as the roster would be 1/3rd the size of what they wanted otherwise? So who knows? I mean obviously certain characters still had to be remodeled like a majority of the Zelda cast for example and the cut veterans.
I agree with that sentiment. To clarify, I’m not sure of any character’s inclusion. I feel some or more likely than others, but I never have 100% faith in any character.
Well since the ballot ended in October 2015 (2 months before the project proposal) I think it's pretty safe to assume that we'll get a couple ballot picks.
Yeah all the models look brand new but the majority of the veterans animations look identical to smash 4, makes sense though they were fine as is why bother changing most of them.
Zelda definitely got some animation changes though. I don't think those are her Smash 4 animations.
It's a canon immigrant. SOJ decided to canonize it as Eggman's real name starting with Sonic Adventure 2.
yeah there's a few cases where veterans had animations completely overhauled, especially if their designs were updated, Link did too, and there's some new attacks and differing animations here and there throughout the cast but the vast majority of the cast looks the same.
I think Shadow is seen differently as he was already in as an AT. But I agree that I don't think third-party echoes are likely. I don't know what the difference in licensing would be between making Shadow a playable fighter compared to an AT. But that's my take on it. Maybe people just see it as an easier transition. Also, it would give Sonic (who you could argue is the most iconic third party character) a rival. Plus this is Sonic's third appearance, so I don't think it's unreasonable for them to get a second character be it a unique fighter or an echo. I'd be fine with Shadow, but I don't actively hope he makes it in. I'll be happy for his fans if he does.
having a bug change is one thing. nerfing her more is not the same. everyone is acting like sakaurai is condeming bayo when they have no certainty behind that claim. seeing her jump four times, seeing, characters not be able to pass through each other, and a few hit box issues would cause a game dev that cares to shake his head.
Greninja was decided on in summer 2012 while his game released in october 2013, sun and moon released in late 2016 so the timeframes match up. It's really just a matter if sakurai feels another pokemon is necessary when we already have 9 now.
Let's not discredit the effort put into those characters just because they were clones two games ago. They have to be fundamentally retooled, reanimated and rebalanced to fit in the new game. They can't just take Melee files and plug them into an engine almost two decades newer. All of the textures are brand new, too. They're essentially like adding any newcomer, only skipping the initial concept phase because they appeared in Melee.
Shadow is pretty much just a second Sonic lol you can put him in as an echo
(eh, I guess Corrin counts)
It will be done by June 31st. I need more Famitsu info from SG before finalizing everything.So, you still gonna have those newcomer predictions done by late this month?
Ehhh, although I count the Pokemon Trainer as 3, when looking at the Roster, there's only 7 spaces.
Shadow is an entirely different character now after multiple appearances. He has chaos control, chaos spears, chaos blast, guns, motorcycles, etc.
More reptile reps... like Agumon?I say BRING IN KING K. ROOL AND SCEPTILE!!!
We need more reptile reps
In SA2 and Heroes, sure. Their movesets in Battle are completely different with Shadow utilizing Chaos abilities for all his moves.
