Actually, thinking about it, I’m pretty sure there’s no way Alax could be a shill. I suspect most Nintendo YTers that don’t get content ID’d or copyright striked of being shills on principle, but given the kind of content in Alax’s videos, I don’t think he could really be a shill.
I’d argue there isn’t a single character that’s near K. Rool or Ridley demand.
He’s was ‘in’ the game though on the same level as K.Rool
Yeah Genos demanding crowd isn’t up with K rool or Ridley but he’s still a demanding character or those wanting him.
I kiiinda agree with you but.
I'm pretty sure it will be the opposite.
This kinda goes both ways, tbh. You could say "hardcore fans are going to get the game anyway, there's no need to add any more fan favourites." Just strike a balance.
Shantae is a character who I actually think would piss people off if she got in.
Pretty sure the Geno Mii Costume sold like hotcakes...
Yeah, but imagine If we got Cloud and Geno as DLC at the same time, try to guess who sell like Hotcakes, and who literally arrive with a trucks full of money.
"All of her fans"? I seriously doubt that's the case. I'm not a big fan but she's nice, even thought I don't get some parts of her design.
Yet we have Bayo who is a ton more extra than Shantae ever has been
I 100% agree Sora would make more money and maybe that would be Nintendo / Squares strategy, but I wouldn't think of Corrin as a big seller and they made him dlc. Most people just want every character on the roster.
And this is why I think Geno's reveal will be so weird. It's not really a hype character but because of a vocal minority they will make it a big deal. Weird.
Plus the majority of Japan would be like "Who?"
I never claimed all her fans were that. I actually want Shantae. What I’m saying is that, outside of her fanbase, that seems to be the general attitude. At least from what I’ve seen upon searching her name and “Smash” on Twitter.
Not entirely sure what this is about but I remember The Runaway Guys getting content ID'd on a video Nintendo asked them to make
I'd be hype too over the revival of that Famicon character.
Actually Japan likes Shantae, they got her games over to Japan like they did with Undertale. Basically they got their localizations that they demanded so it's like US Xenoblade and not Mother 3
Didn't they do that with Little Mac
When you're talking about demand, you're talking about fan demand... from the Smash community. And looking at it objectively, Geno has been long-requested since Melee. As for popularity, I saw many people watching the E3 Direct going "Who?" Ridley and King K Rool were certainly due to their demand within the fan community. I believe I heard something of insiders saying Sakurai didn't know there was that much fan demand for King K Rool until they did the ballot. A lot of people don't remember King K Rool, because he's been a neglected character in his own franchise for decades.
Indeed--if the argument is characters with more mass appeal make more sense as DLC, then it would make sense for characters with less mass appeal to be in the base (otherwise by that logic, they'll never get in). You could argue the opposite, which I see much less, but that's fine. My problem is when people create a double standard and want it both ways. I, personally, don't think it makes much difference to the companies, as if it did, all third party companies would want to save their characters for DLC. But I see that argument a lot, so I give it the benefit of the doubt.
I was using it as an example of the double standard being used. I wasn't saying that was the correct way to view it, just a double standard I see a lot to treat some characters as if they're money-makers and unpopular at the same time.
I was neither arguing for or against the statements of if popular characters should be in the base. I was arguing against the double standard of treating certain characters as if they'd be money-makers for DLC but unpopular to be in the base game, without distinguishing between the two. But given the amount I had to correct, it seems like I wasn't making my point as clear as I thought I was.
Goku getting in would represent the death of standards in Smash, and thus, the death of Smash as a whole. Goku getting in should be a worst case scenario, not a best case one.
Obviously there would be a resistance group, ideally called the Frieza Force
We got Roy before his game came out, I doubt Smash had any standards ever since
There no Goku argument. Just Someone who made a joke about hype Characters left.So I bet nothing new and same old new argument ?
Also again with this Goku crap non sense ?
People get so unabashedly angry immediately whenever Goku is mentioned lmao
I'm a huge Banjo fan and I'm inclined to agree with you tbh
You know, as much as I want to agree with everything you say, you do realize if you end up being wrong people are going to spam you and SourceGaming and the rest of everyone who tried to temper expectations with at the very least cries of “I told you so” and at the very most, death threats, because that’s how the Smash community is.
You're not the only one, but I do think (and if what Hitagi stated is accurate) that Steve could end up being a DLC character than base.
That's true. The solution is however: **** em. People who go "I TOLD YOU SO MY FAVOURITE THING NOBODY ELSE CARES ABOUT GOT IN I TOLD YOU SO" are ****ing idiots who don't deserve to even have a second of anyone's attention and are only mad because My Favourite™ cared more about them than their parents did
