And even then, Pokken is completely irrelevant at the time the decision to add Decidueye would be made.
You say that, but I feel like Etika is one of those people who really doesn't need to create drama over it to make money. He already makes a killing during his streams, and he's already said that most the Youtube revenue has dried up anyway.
sakurai likley had ultimate planned in his head and decided "why waste all this fan-service data on dlc for a dead console when we can use it for the next one"I was thinking something simialr, this seems more like an executive decision done by Nintendo and Sakurai is going to take the blame for it. Sakurai's only sin is being the figurehead for all this.
I don't think there's anything we can do. Once obnoxious Youtubers like Etika or whatever get ahold of this, people are going to flock to twitter en masse to bomb Sakurai all day. Unless we can somehow delete all evidence of this there's a storm a brewin'.
alternately people could just not care but like we've had what? 9 pages of discussion on this in like 2 hours so RIP the internet when the general audience catches wind.
EDIT: Here, as long as no one on /v/ talks about it this conversation will never leave sma---
Welp, GG.
Yeah, I really, really want this to blow over before it even begins; with all the inflammatory headlines and clickbaity youtube videos... Let's just... hope it doesn't come to that.
I'm pretty sure developing 2 Smash games at once made him realize glaring design flaws.
Oh yeah, absolutely, when you think about it, this was the BEST possible time for this news to come to light.
I was just using Etika as an example since that's the only name I actually know, I don't actually keep up with him or any other Youtubers.
Besides here, Twitter, ResetERA, Reddit, 4Chan, FB are some of the places that this topic is probably being discussed off the top of my head. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if this blows up soon.
Not happening. Sakurai might step down, but someone else will inevitably take over. Nintendo can't afford to have Ultimate canceled, since Smash is a system seller.
No way is that happening.
All it takes is for one big internet personality who doesn't actually understand what they're talking about to spin it in the worst way possible and the topic will explode.
There is literally no way in hell that's going to happen.
That's a crazy short turn-around time to observe the ballot results for some time, decide to make Bayo the "ballot winner", decide to turn the actual ballot winner slot into a promotional slot, do all the deliberation that goes into picking a character, choose and finalize Corrin, form their character design/moveset, and start development on them soon enough for Corrin's data to be on 1.0.8. It's just much simpler for Bayo and a promotional slot to have always been planned.
What kind of fanboy boycotts the thing they fanboy for?
Then they can boycott to their heart's content. The rest of us will enjoy the game without them.
They're still flawed for all the same reasons people suggested at the time, imo. The turnout for the fan polls is a drop in the bucket for the turnout of the real ballot. They just don't have the same reach, and are representations only of the small subset of people who found them.
No, the vast majority of people aren't going to care at this point. Like I said if this happened two years ago or just last year, where we just had Smash 4 with no more updates and no news of any upcoming Smash game, maybe a lot of people would be angry, but now with Smash Ultimate and the allure of the fanservice characters chosen by the Ballot making it into it, people are over Smash 4 and salivating over Ultimate. While some may be disappointed about being misled about the Ballot's intention, very few if any are going to be actually angry when Ultimate is on the horizon.
You say 'loads', but you know damn well how their 'boycott' is going to turn out.
*Makes a smile* I ninja'd you my darling.
Given how they've been angling Ultimate, it's likely that a lot of the higher placing characters were simply Veterans like Snake, Ice Climbers and Wolf.
Jokes on them I voted Azura and got the closest possible thing
Wha... what if Nintendo stops existing?!
Aw shoot, that's a really good question.
Then Nintendo gets a new director for the game and continues without him, there is too much money to be made.
Kind of strange considering the near irrational hatred redditors seem to have for Bayonetta, you'd think it'd be exploding there.
Just curious about this, even though its most likely fake, does anyone have any clue for what the "House" and "Science" characters might be? I thought maybe K. Rool for Science, considering his Baron K. Roolenstein form in Donkey Kong Country 3, but that seems like kind of a stretch, especially considering all of the other characters seem pretty obvious, aside from how vague "Anime" is.
