To be completely fair, this would be less of a mistake and more of a blatant, vaguely intentional, somewhat malicious oversight. I am usually the first to question Nintendo. I, for instance, thought that the Switch would not sell with only Arms, Splatoon, Odyssey and a truckload of ports. But if this was merely a port, the backlash would make the Wii U look like a loved console.
I think it would funny play as Rabbid Luigi and Rabbid Peach xD
Well, there are doubts because Doctor Mario looks like Mario...
If anything, the ballot was more for this game than the last. But I am one of the people that absolutely believes Bayonetta was not the first feasible winner. She was overtly cherry picked.
Well, it makes sense, this is a teaser trailer, you can't just show the Smash Logo and being done... smash needs to do something... and the safest pick to use as the new character without spoiling to much is Inkling.
Tbf, I'd wager there'd be a pretty big outrage if Goku or Shrek got in, because you know damn well they got high on the polls based on the meme factor alone.
I still played Smash 4 a lot and it is probably my second favorite Smash overall; however, I find it the most fun to actually play (because I am not a mechanical wizard, by any stretch of the imagination which makes Melee a bit to technical for me). That being said, I do agree. Compared to Melee or Brawl, I feel as though I have not played it nearly as much. I played Melee almost every day for years and Brawl at least once a week for years. This game, I get into it, play it religiously for a few days and give it a few months break.
Actually, I could see Sakurai holding off on FE characters this time around and focusing on different franchises. Could be wrong though.
I just hope any changes to Link's moveset are kept to a minimum. It's basically stayed the same since Melee, so anything too drastic wouldn't feel right (plus, any changes made to normal Link could possibly be carried over to Toon Link).
God I really hope so.
I don't know. I mean, I understand Sakurai really likes FE, but part of me wants to believe that he'll fully acknowledge the abundance of characters from the franchise and instead focus on representing FE through more Assist Trophies and items.
To be fair, it is not as though Sakurai was the one who was committed to adding Corrin. Nintendo has some degree of influence, at the very least and they are pushing Fire Emblem HARD. It is arguably bigger than Donkey Kong or Metriod at this point in time. Prime 4 might change that. But Fire Emblem has been one of their more consistent series. I doubt he will go crazy and add 3 or 4 or anything to that effect, but FE should be one of his main priorities to be real.
Ura
Yeah... I wish. I bet we'll still have another FE character though.:'(
He'll probably share the same function (or at least a similar one) to Peach's parasol, where he can glide manually and/or after using his Up B.
We can only hope so.
Goku has one hell of a workable moveset and has been in hundreds of games. Ki blast, Kamehameha, flight, transformations..
Which is why it baffles me that we've never gotten a FE character who doesn't wield a sword as their primary weapon. You'd think we would've gotten a strictly spear or archer by now.We need to get Vaanrose and Burb in here to really feel like the good ol' speculation days.
Though I thought Robin was actually a pretty cool character, because they had unique abilities. I think most of us are just getting sick of swordsman characters with no ranged attacks. It gets a bit dull after a while, since they all have similar looks too.
That would be a dream come true. I used to play Link (before Sakurai bludgeoned his face) and have taken to Peach in more recent entries, so that would be perfect for someone such as myself.
Personally i'm just sick of any FE character regardless of what they're gimmick is. It's almost like there's a requirement to always have a new character in the series. After the abundance of characters we got in Smash 4, it's time to give it a rest until the next Smash even though I know Nintendo/IS isn't going to let that happen.
Not exactly, it's just most of the main characters are Sword Users: and the main character that doesn't use sword (like Micaiah) are usually overshadow for the ones that uses sword because they're usually more important and/or popular... such a shame.
Careful now. FE16 hasn't even been properly revealed yet. Not saying it couldn't happen, but nothing is guaranteed.
I know. Just being a little too critical of sword characters (I'm really wanting a spear fighter).
This sounds like some silly Smash fanbase hope to cling to. Sakurai is going to pick whatever the **** he wants.
It’s because the main characters use swords. No other reason.
Throw in UI as a Final Smash and you're set.
Oof. I don't this its so bad- but it could be better I guess. Back on topic, I really hope they do it too, it's the best way to jam in as many BotW references and callbacks in his move set as possible while expanding his movement/recovery options outside his generally 'meh' staple Up B.
Well, I did not assert that he was going to use the results. In fact, that is more or less implied when I stated that I believe Bayonetta was not even the top feasible character. He just has that information to influence his decision.
Just remember that IS doesn't control Smash. Since FE is already getting regular promotion through Heroes, and since they already got a Warriors game of nothing but FE characters, I don't think they'll be pushing too hard for a new FE rep, if they even push at all.
Absolutely not. I'm semi-serious when I say Sakurai might have to go into hiding if he revealed how close some of the popular characters were to getting in Smash.
I think the FE16 protagonist is likelier than Celica, since the game is slated for release this year. It will probably release this Holiday right along Smash.
There are other amiibo sets that are just as worthless in the long run. The Shadow Mewtwo amiibo card becomes useless once Shadow Mewtwo is officially unlocked.
Starting with the first question, probably not. They might mention that [insert character here] got in because they scored high on the Ballot, but I doubt they'd give away the full results.
Dude they do everything in their power to push that franchise to the moon and back. Nothing is ever "substantial" for them. Them putting the FE16 protag would be anything but shocking knowing how badly their trying to push this franchise.
Okay dude that's the overexaggeration of the century lol. What's the worst a bunch of angry Smash fans could do lol.
I wouldn’t even hope tbh. Just take what we get.
The results will never be revealed.
Still, they're one small gear in a much larger machine. The games and franchises they make aren't any more important than what the other studios make.
I did say I was only semi-serious. But still, revealing the results probably wouldn't be the greatest idea, as it will likely cause a lot of unnecessary anger and arguing among Smash fans. It's probably best if we just leave the results unknown.
