What? JDCabrera is evolving! Congratulations! Your JDCabrera evolved into better JDCabrera. Learn “better content”?

Yes.

Even if i don’t know a concrete example of better content.

I feel Banjo fans and Steve fans definitely symbolize the differences in generations:

Banjo fans want him largely because of the nostalgia and fondness they have for him from their childhood from the N64 era.

Steve's fans want him because they have nostalgia and fondness for him from their childhood.

Basically: These things are entirely filled with bias and every argument about Banjo VS. Steve is pointless whenever it boils down to you trying to change someone's mind. Neither of them are "right" or "wrong" to want or like, it's up to the individual and what they like. I'm gonna be honest here: I don't care about Banjo all that much. He'd be neat, but I would not jump out of my seat for him. I didn't grow up with those games, and so far, Nuts and Bolts was the only one I've played, so I don't have too much of an attachment. Steve, however? I played Minecraft back in it's earlier days, and play it even to this day. So yeah, not at all a popular opinion here, but I would truly feel more excited for Steve than I would Banjo. Does that make Steve better? Heck no, it's just my own taste and wants. I have no issue with people not wanting Steve, and I know full well what the reaction here will be if it happens, but I also think it's good to remain polite when discussing this stuff. Not saying any of this is going on per se, but these types of debates tend to get heated and that genuinely makes me sad. I really wish Steve didn't cause so much strife within this community.

The funny part about this argument is I've seen multiple discussions on how Banjo would need upscaled and whether his design would still work. The answer is generally yes with some possible workarounds. The Steve argument for making it an appealing design is 'it isn't'. Then we have the Dragon Builders faction going 'we have the same potential, without the visual issues, and with a second fandom to draw from. Since the Dragon Quest protagonists are so generic, I'm hoping the Dragon Quest rep is the builder as the best compromise. They can fight AND they can have a gimmick.

 

[Deleted member]

Well I've already unlocked half of the characters in exact order. Gonna take a break from playing today. If there's one thing I wanna do is to take my time with the game. Plan to do Classic with all the characters then play a few fun games of Smash before trying World of Light.

This game has been fun and great as I expected.

The spirit board events are also a good idea.

I hope that we get one themed about Metroid with new ones.

As someone who only ones a stage from Minecraft, i would argue that Steve could be animated like a character from Minecraft:Story Mode or that new dungeon game.

He can work in Smash.

 

[Deleted member]

Double post.

I need to go slower.

 

[Idon]

Yeah but...

I don't think anyone gives a damn about DQBuilders Protag, and I don't think Nintendo's going to pick DQBuilders protag to appeal to the Minecraft or the Dragon Quest community.

 

[RyuhoFox]

The sword looks pretty nice and goes well with your character, indeed.



Other users are choosing the nominees now.

Look for Noipoi or ToasterBrains.

Darnit. Now to tag them to ask them.

.....



I don't know how to do that.

This is why Chief is the optimal pick.

I feel about it the same way as you.

They will go for both Steve and Erdrick at best.

Poop forgot about that. I'll get to that one eventually too. Thanks for the reminder.

At the moment i found them easy.

I believe that you can get the three new Mario Spirits easily.

That's exactly how they fail to appeal to either community.
This reminds me of the "They'll use Wonder-Bayonetta to avoid rating issues and to please both Nayonetta fams and TW101 fans!"
Yes, this is a thing that was argued for.

Wonder-Bayonetta for new clone character.

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

I for one definitely call out incidences of racism or sexism...but uh, I find some of the things people are calling out, especially in the manner it’s being pursued on a resetera to be a bit over the op.

But that’s just me. Granted, i’m a straight white male. I just don’t see how a png. file in a children’s game can be legitimately argued to be using racial stereotypes unless you’re actively looking for it.

Even with the Tac one, I had a real big, “Y I K E S” moment, but even then I don’t think it’s a “Everyone should return the game and campaign for it to be changed” moment.

It just seems minuscule compared to the probably several hundred other social justice issues that matter far, far more.

"We should get Yoshimitsu as our Bandai-Namco character to represent Tekken and Soul Calibur at the same time" is also kinda similar.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Who I've unlocked so far.






I intend to keep doing it in that order. I don't know why I just find it more fun for some reason. Granted I kinda cheated a bit unlocking my boi first for obvious reasons why.

 

[Deleted member]

"We should get Yoshimitsu as our Bandai-Namco character to represent Tekken and Soul Calibur at the same time" is also kinda similar.

Tbh, I'd love Yoshimitsu because I just like him even if Nightmare would fill my "heavy with a heavier sword" needs better.
Tbf, any SoulCalibur character would be sick

 

[Deleted member]

Speaking of Spirit events:

Who would you pick for some themed events that haven’t been done yet? I would do these:

-Metroid: Sylux, Crocomire, Rundas and a Chozo.

-Sonic: Tails Doll, Mephiles, Perfect Chaos and Biolizard.

-Pac-Man: Ms.Pac-Man, Pac-Man Jr. and the fake Pac-Man from the first Pac-Man World

 

[Cutie Gwen]

You just say that because you saw that guy who stops time and has a scythe.

Anyway, to represent Soul Calibur I believe Link from the second game should suffice

 

[Michael the Spikester]

God how much I want Nightmare so bad. Too bad its probably not gonna happen tho...

Heihachi from the same game could work too.

Maybe Spawn?

[Deleted member]

I want a sequel of the Wonderful 101 on Switch, tbh.

 

[PeridotGX]

I nominate Delzethin for most inspiring support. Even after Vergeben, when Incineroar was all but confirmed, he held through with his Lycanroc support. And instead of failing apart like all the other Pokemon support threads, the Lycanroc one stayed active (it still is, by the way). I highly doubt that would've happened with someone else at the helm.

 

[LetterO]

Diddy is Dee Jay because apparently both of them are energetic with flips and stuff.

I'm happy Mr. Sandman and Dee Jay aren't just Little Mac because I'd like some diversity and not just have every boxing Spirit be Little Mac.

Suggest it to Noipoi then.

Is Rayman the only spirit from his franchise?

Is there a way to delete my own posts?

I am tired of the double posts.

Just let all spirits be little Mac so it’s a confirmed win for every battle

The nominees at the moment. (ToasterBrains replaces Serebii in the best user nominees, doh).

Tbh you should probably put me on the Least Inspiring Character supporter list as well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ask Noipoi or ToasterBrains.
They are doing the selection now.

 

[RyuhoFox]

I want both that and the first one on Switch honestly. Got the first one on Wii U just before I had to sell it so never got to play all the way through. Seems the company is interested in both those things though it doesn't look like it's happening anytime soon. :/

 

[TMNTSSB4]

I don’t want to open hell again...

Mephisto wouldn’t mind

They are busy with Bayonetta 3 at the moment, by the looks of it.

I guess you could edit it so that nothing appears, but actually deleting it, as far as I know, is impossible.

Him too but I played a bunch of SCIV when I had an X360

 

[Michele]

If you don't wanna nominate me, that's fine. I don't need to win, in my opinion, anyways. But it's still cool to see nominations...as long as it's not the repeat of what happened last year.

Literally get out.

... Fine.

>The artstyle is extremely different from the two games before (and don’t bring up Wind Waker, because the Zelda franchise was known already for the different art styles in each game).
>It looks and feels like a mobile game.
>They take too many visual keys from the MCU (Earth-199999 if you want to be more specific).
>Thanos as the main villain feels like a cash-in on the MCU, and Kang or The Beyonder would have been better picks for the main villain.
>There doesn’t seem to be alternate costumes.
>There wasn’t any reason to make it Switch-exclusive (Spider-Man was probably forced on PS4 due to the fact that Sony owns the movie rights of the character, as much as i wanted that one on more systems too).
>It seems less inspiring than the first game in terms of development (the latter had most of the voices done by fans, and payed a lot of tribute to many of the comics that most of the Marvel fans loved).
>And finally... The lack of Fantastic Four content in a game series that relies on the celebration of Marvel’s history.

2B or Geralt for Soul Calibur rep you say?
