Does Fortnite's characters even have a name, like Steve from Minecraft? What would you even call them if they got in?

Because there are many people who play video games casually and do not look up information or go on forums that discuss characters of other video games (Smash Boards).Legitimately I don't understand how Western people don't know who Ridley is. I mean it's a smaller group I'm guessing, but still really odd. Metroid isn't a huge selling franchise but like you said he's appeared in Smash several times, and Smash is huge. Anyone who's been part of Smash speculation since the Brawl days should have an idea of who Ridley is.
I'd be miffed but I'm getting Ridley anyway, even adding Faye would be acceptable to meHow would you feel if Smash Ultimate was delayed for 6 months in order to add more characters in the game? Wou

I want Sakurai to go into a proper holiday once, as soon as possible, is it too much to ask?How would you feel if Smash Ultimate was delayed for 6 months in order to add more characters in the game? Wou

I would've bought a Switch way too early for no reason then. Like, Odyssey and Breath of the Wild are fine, but come on man. I know what I bought the console for.How would you feel if Smash Ultimate was delayed for 6 months in order to add more characters in the game?
if fortnite gets acknowledged in any way shape or form no matter how minor i would die instantly. dont do itDoes Fortnite's characters even have a name, like Steve from Minecraft? What would you even call them if they got in?
Reggie allows it.if fortnite gets acknowledged in any way shape or form no matter how minor i would die instantly. dont do it
Sakurai is not adding Steve to smash bros. To fancy this idea is to accept despair. Sakurai likes to stay true to a character's origin, so trying to make Steve look even remotely playable and feel like Mine-craft without looking Severely out of place in Smash will be next to impossible. You want Steve to look like a normal human? Steve must be block-esque and have mine-craft movements for it to feel like a mine-craft character which again is very very out of place with Smash. Goku would fit in with his goofy self than steve.

Including Banjo-Kazooie would be points forwards nolstagia and the “most-wanted” factor as he has a sizeable following. Most people who were fans of the games back then.What is everyone's "Ideal" situation for Microsoft properties in Smash, assuming something does happen there?
You don't have to include each of the categories I'm listing, in fact "No Microsoft representation" is a completely understandable answer.
For me personally...
Character: Master Chief. I don't feel that there's a character who represents both the past and future of Microsoft better. He's been around since the original Xbox, he's beyond iconic, and we could create one hell of a console war matchup with Snake, Samus, and Master Chief all on the battlefield at one time. Plus Master Chief is arguably the best character to be the "First Person Shooter" character, though that point is rather minor imo.
Stage: Minecraft. A procedurally generated stage that covers the various different biomes from Minecraft and having a completely different layout every time. With hazards on, the stage could have a day-night cycle where monsters appear at night. With hazards off, the day-night cycle can still happen with no monsters. Minecraft would make an incredible stage, but imo, an incredibly bad/undesirable character.
Assist Trophy: Banjo & Kazooie. A lot of people would be upset about this, I know. But Bomberman, a classic legend, was also relegated to AT status. I personally feel that, while B&K represent a corner of classic Nintendo, the duo wouldn't be an ideal situation for Microsoft. As far as we know, they have no upcoming anything that hyping up Banjo & Kazooie would benefit when they could have Sakurai add Master Chief instead who is a better overall representative of Microsoft and has a clearly defined future. Of course, one does have to consider Phil Spencer consistently saying he'd be cool with B&K being in Smash, but that doesn't necessarily mean playable or even the preference for a playable character.
Because of me since I used him of an example of a character I absolutely don’t want but went about showing that is a non-dickish way.BTW why are people talking Steve again? Like it was part of a leak he was in right?
I mean a leak did say something about Minecraft, but that's hardly the reason he gets discussed. He gets discussed because Minecraft has been a ridiculously large worldwide phenomenon that has gone from indie game to one of Microsoft Gaming's largest assets. They've put Minecraft on basically every device and everyone knows what it is. As far as "deserving third parties" go, Minecraft is actually easily one of the most deserving. It's just ugly aesthetically so many of us try to shoot down the idea of it, even if it's really logical.BTW why are people talking Steve again? Like it was part of a leak he was in right?
As long as it is to add characters I selfishly want or to revamp (like, BIG changes) to some of my disappointing veterans.How would you feel if Smash Ultimate was delayed for 6 months in order to add more characters in the game? Wou

If it meant that Decidueye was guaranteed to get in, I'd be perfectly fine with waiting even longer. It could also provide enough time to include another game mode or two.How would you feel if Smash Ultimate was delayed for 6 months in order to add more characters in the game?
That's definitely not the only reason people shoot it down. I only ever played Minecraft briefly, not the super early days, Endermen were a thing, but early enough that it was still a new thing, and I honestly don't know what transpired between the internet and Minecraft but they really started to slowly hate the game.I mean a leak did say something about Minecraft, but that's hardly the reason he gets discussed.

Ah, I see you are a man of taste as well.Microsoft option?
Character: Fulgore. Easily.

I'm a woman, but yes.Ah, I see you are a man of taste as well.
Calm down. I like other FE games, especially the NES/SNES set (I like the slower pace), just not much of the 3DS saga as much as it helped revive the series. And I found Fates to be pretty eugh. Although the use of Corrin to promote Fates was all intended and well-used, I didn't really see much of a point in adding him/her. With Sakurai making his own concerned comments, its easy to see why people can be upset. I'll unlock Corrin in Ultimate and use him in Classic for his trophy, but I'll just not touch him for the rest of my experience. I can tolerate Corrin's presence, I'm not such a lunatic to where I won't buy the game if he's in it.I'm just tired of all the negativity surrounding Corrin.
Like they ignore all the good points, and just repeat the same few things. Like I think Corrin has a slew of problems. I still like them.
I'm ****ing frustrated by having multiple people in this thread ask me if I've played Fates when I say I like Corrin.
Like **** you, yeah I did. Don't try to ****ing gatekeeper me and imply I must be an ignorant child because I like I must not actually know what the character is like if I'm okay with them.
I'm tired of people saying they ruined the roster.
I'm tired of people saying their fans are blind.
You wanna know who I don't like at all? Villager! I think Animal Crossing is pointless garbage. There's no darn point to it. Even Wii Fit has a point. But if I started saying everything I thought about Animal Crossing, I'd be crucified.
I'm just tired of all the complaining.
The man part was just reciting the meme line.I'm a woman, but yes.
Killer Instinct is one of my favorite fighting series. I own every main game. I'd love to get at least one Arcade Cabinet, but that's severely pricey. Maybe if I win the lottery or something?
Not to say you're unjustified in your frustration, one character does not a ruined roster make, nor should people attempt to shame or utilize elitism to judge other's character preferences.I'm just tired of all the complaining.
Why Kilgore? Fulgore's like, the mascot next to Jago or Orchid.If it came to Microsoft characters being in Smash Bros, I'd personally rank it as: Master Chief > Banjo and Kazooie > Steve (least favourite option personally) >Jago/Kilgore = Battletoads = Gears of War character
Master Chief could be a good foil to Samus and good rivalry, though the Halo series has nothing to do with Nintendo outside of MineCraft skins appearing in the Nintendo Switch version. (though I gotta admit, Halo Infinite's trailer looked absolutely gorgeous)
Banjo and Kazooie have nostalgia and fan-demand out of all the Microsoft characters and relatively strong ties to Nintendo, but aren't really doing much these days.
MineCraft is what it is, though I'm admittedly neutral or absolutely against the idea of Steve for some reason. Maybe I'm just not at all interested in MineCraft and don't understand the hype?
Jago/Kilgore would kinda overlap with Ryu, being a combo-heavy grounded fighter from a 2D fighter.
On a separate topic, tying in with the Ashley discussion earlier, maybe I'll post a hypothetical moveset I threw together this afternoon for some feedback...
Yeah, that's another point towards why it gets shot down, but the real purpose of that post was to point out why it gets talked about in the first place. If the english speaking internet vacuum wants to get furious about Minecraft in Smash, let em. From what we know about Japan's view of Minecraft, as well as the copious amounts of children and others who aren't super internet active go, seeing Minecraft in Smash would have them overjoyed. As a Minecraft-in-Smash detractor, I have no sympathy for the low-lifes that will go on wild internet rants and boycott Smash if Minecraft gets in. We don't need people like that in the Smash community anyway.That's definitely not the only reason people shoot it down. I only ever played Minecraft briefly, not the super early days, Endermen were a thing, but early enough that it was still a new thing, and I honestly don't know what transpired between the internet and Minecraft but they really started to slowly hate the game.
I don't know why honestly. I get that it's audience are children which puts people off but that's not really a reason to hate the game. I get changes were made but everything I ever heard were additions to it not subtractions, and I thought they were pretty cool, so I don't get why that's reason to hate the game. I get Notch is kind of a controversial figure, but that doesn't feel like the reason either.
I really don't know why online communities hate Minecraft, but they do, and I know people will be furious if steve ever made it
I am stupid - I somehow wrote Kilgore instead of Fulgore. My complete and total mistake. BRB, editing that right away.Why Kilgore? Fulgore's like, the mascot next to Jago or Orchid.
Master Chief, as much as I'd love him and his super sick song tracks he'd bring with him, but he hasn't appeared on a Nintendo console. Though Cloud was implemented anyway due to his worldwide effects, I don't know how much impact Halo had in the East. Maybe Venus of the Desert Bloom has the answer?
The game fits its own aesthetic, and I agree it can be beautiful when you're playing Minecraft. I just mean it looks out of place and rather unattractive if you placed in a different world, like Smash. Did you ever see the Minecraft section in Borderlands 2? It looked wildly out of place (though it was really cool to run into it...).Ugly aethetically?
The voxel art style is what made me interested in Minecraft in the first place. I find the minimalist cubic designs of the mobs in the game are very endearing and some of the environments that spawn can be breathtaking despite being made up of pixelated cubes.
Wasn't sure if you knew. I don't say it often or have it as a title. The constant name changes can legit confuse people. Anyway.The man part was just reciting the meme line.
I have KI on the SNES, but I've played the arcade version before. It's good fun.
Another six months would be annoying, but I'd have Kingdom Hearts 3 and College to tide me over, so okay I guess.How would you feel if Smash Ultimate was delayed for 6 months in order to add more characters in the game?
Typical Sakurai, putting another sword user in smash pst pstHonestly, if someone can make Steve work in Smash, it’s Sakurai.
I inherited a SNES collection and KI was just amongst them. I thought the black cartridge was sick af and I played it all the time even though I was never good at it. I'm still not good, I can't play any fighting game that isn't simplified like Smash. I still love KI regardless, Fulgore's original theme with the sirens is the best.Wasn't sure if you knew. I don't say it often or have it as a title. The constant name changes can legit confuse people. Anyway.
And nice option. Killer Instinct Gold is my favorite. The Combo Breaker system got improved a bit with more differences. It also feels like it could be a more unique Counter move in Smash. Namely, how it would have the announcer recite the line while Fulgore does his Plasma Slice. Of course, it would make sense if it activates upon an actual combo attack(as in more than one hit started), making it a more niche Special, but customs could change that up too.
Beyond that, he has a plethora of moves that aren't just "let's combo the guy" either. Teleporting, able to transform into the other character during combos, laser eyes, cyberdash, his fireball called Laserstorm, and he even has his own Reflect variation(though it's more like in the sense of Falco's, Reflector in the sense it cannot be up for long).
Feel better now?I'm just tired of all the negativity surrounding Corrin.
Like they ignore all the good points, and just repeat the same few things. Like I think Corrin has a slew of problems. I still like them.
