Maybe give us a texture editor so we can make detail non-generic stages as well as using custom photos for the background? I know they might stay away from it because someone might make something dirty, but the solution is just don't let custom stages online. They did that with Miis. And Mario Makers system was amazing, why not take inspiration from that?
I don’t know if I’d agree with all of that, but I can see why some people may hate her inclusion. She may not have the iconicness of all the aforementioned, but apparently enough people know who she is to vote for her to get her in the game.
The thing with Bayonetta is that people compare her to the wrong characters. They seem to judge her solely on her inconicness to Video Games because she is a third party, and sure she isn't the same star as Cloud or Mega-Man.
No one questions Shulk because he's a Nintendo owned character.
I have to be honest, I agree.
To each their own feelings. As for mine, I am pretty sure the fact that Nintendo goes all the way to promote her and invest in her franchise did factor somehow in her inclusion.
This has nothing to do with feelings, the ballot is the reason Bayonetta got in Smash and that's the simple truth.
That is a fair point, and truthfully I do believe she really won it. But seeing so many posts on here clamouring that it HAD to be rigged because of [insert popular request here], especially with that "among realizable characters" had messed up my feeble mind a little.
This is pretty much how I feel too, I thought it worked so much better with Snake as they played on how much he didn't fit in via SSE and his codexes, plus he just has a more fun personality to put into these situations, it made him a great addition.
I've had a lot of problems with Bayonetta being in Smash, but after doing some thinking, I don't really mind her return. As it stands, her games are synonymous with Nintendo consoles, and come Smash 6 or something like that she'll have some legacy to her, especially if Nintendo buys the IP.
Why on earth am I more okay with seeing the fatal frame girls in the game over Bayonetta?
Level 9 CPUs read your inputs iirc, they aren't good practice
I know... But since I don't have any friends that really are into Smash nearby, it is either that (along with the training grounds) or the online... Unless level 8 CPU can't read inputs?
Personally I'm expecting another new rep from the Xenoblade series and I feel that Rex (& Pyra) are the most likely candidates.
8 is still fair. Reading inputs mean they know what you're doing as soon as your hands hit the buttons, it can make you end up making bad habits
I'd be nice if you didn't generalise anyone who didn't care for her as a Nintendo purist. I personally never cared for the idea of her being Smash but had no real problem with Cloud. Of course, given she was the ballot choice, I had to accept she's in instead of throwing a tantrum, since she's just a video game character.
Echoes was released ~one year after planning would have most likely started and ~ one year before Smash Switch is set to release. In that regards, in terms of FE, Echoes has the most favorable timing for Smash Switch, similar to X and Y in Smash 4 in terms of Pokemon games. There is also the fact that the two main characters of the Gaiden remake were already known quantities as opposed to Greninja who Sakurai only had a concept art to really work with whilst Greninja's name wasn't even decided on.
Not to mention, it started work in 2015, so by 2016 they almost definitely had lots of resources they could show Sakurai.
I'm glad someone brought this up, because I kinda feel the same way.
Probably because the key to making a skilled AI is having it read your button inputs. A good portion of cheap fighting game bosses (such as Mortal Kombat's Shao Kahn) have been known to do that, so it really isn't anything new.
I know, but it is a terrible idea because it promotes cheap AI. Real life humans don't react to your button presses, they react to your character's actions. Also, I find that it makes combat against them boring because they don't really try to string combos or use safe moves and a finisher to try and kill you. Look at Bayonetta's AI for example. It cannot really kill using Witch Time.
It's already bad enough knowing that even the easiest AI has the tendency to air dodge against just about every Final Smash, and it'll even dodge Wild Gunman as if it knows it's within attack range.
Really? Well that's notable.
But we don't have a say in who gets cut or not. Our opinions won't matter.
Hmm, I wouldn't necessarily consider him retro despite the fact its been 17 years since the series was introduced. To me, it's gotta be a Famicom/NES or Gameboy series that didn't make it out of that era (though if you want to get technical, the Excite series does have two entries after, so that can be debated). That being said, I am all for Isaac. He's got a great potential moveset that can be unique from the other sword fighters, & the more series reps, the better!
If we do get some type of new gameplay mechanic, I don't think it would be something as major as a fifth special move, especially since we're probably getting over 60 characters in this game. Imagine not only coming up with 60+ special moves for the characters, but also rebalancing every character so that the extra move doesn't make the character OP as heck (imagine how terrible it would be to fight Rosalina if she had a new shooting projectile move aside from Luma Shot).
I'm not really sure how much of a priority Bayo would be. People always bring up the fact that she's "basically a Nintendo character now," but that argument applies to practically everyone on the roster doesn't it?
