True story, I've had two dreams where E. Gadd was announced for Smash Bros. Once with him summoning ghosts an another with him using inventions.
There's also elemental attacks with the poltergust and the flashlight to stun enemies, it'd be fun if he could summon ghosts too...hold on a sec, if luigi isn't gonna represent luigi's mansion outside of a final smash maybe I want E.Gadd lol
Yes, that was Zero's director.
@JordanSweeto She won’t show up this time, but I’d love to put her in a sequel if we’d get to make one!

To somewhat sum up what you said, Star Fox needs to go the "Breath of the Wild route". It needs to step out of its comfort zone and do something so unique and original that it would be attractive to both longtime fans and newbies. Clearly rehashing the same Star Fox 64 formula isn't going to work, so if Nintendo ever wants to turn Star Fox into a franchise worth supporting, its gonna need to expand on it's characters, incorporate competitive play, and add elements the series isn't known for.
E. Gadd could work, but I feel like most of the stuff involving FLUDD and the Poltergust would be better suited for Mario and Luigi respectively.
Four Zelda newcomers at once?! At this point, we'd be lucky to get just one!
"Wow, neat!"
if it's just mipha = "**** YEAH!!"
Well that’s true, but I think at least Mario is better off with a new move instead of FLUDD, and this way the FLUDD can be used in more than one way, and i think luigi’s moveset is good as is
I think everyone has a different idea of who is the most popular champion, I’ve heard it being argued for all of them. I think what’s more likely is that their abilities are used by either Zelda or Link. Link could even use their weapons in his moveset. For example daruk’s for his forward smash and Mipha’s trident for his down air.
I'd argue it absolutely suits her character. Without going into spoiler territory, self-sacrifice for the greater good is one of the core aspects of her character. The fact that that lines up perfectly with Gaiden/SoV's Magic system is just icing on the cake, making it the perfect thing to incorporate into her moveset.
I'd be ecstatic, but I'm sure anyone who lurks in this thread knows that I'm a huge advocate for the Champions.
Gorons and Zora are a series staple, so both Mipha and Daruk would be good choices. Unfortunately, only one of the two is popular among the fans. Here's a hint: it ain't Mipha.
The only two I think you could argue in worldwide popularity is Mipha and Urbosa. The only reason why I'd argue Mipha is more popular is because Japan has done a poor job of hiding their favorite Champion (Mipha). Over there, Revali and Urbosa are more equal, while Daruk is...still sitting at the bottom.
Remind me when Nintendo gave Ghirahim his own amiibo and a DLC expansion based around him again?
I don't think Link will get a moveset change as those moves would be rendered outdated once the new Zelda game hits so it'd be strange for Link to still be using the champion's weapons, especially when he has his own arsenal he can and does already use.
Skyward Sword was released at a time when Nintendo wasn't making DLC or amiibo. That's not a far comparison.
Personally I see the most love for Mipha and Urbosa, if anything, Daruk seems like he's the least popular.
That's the thing. I'm not sure what I think of Platinum. Bayonetta is a series I've despised long before she was in Smash. Wonderful 101 I've heard decent things about, but sold even worse that Star Fox Zero. Nier Automata is another series I've heard a lot of good things about, but I really know nothing much of it. Vanquish is a name I've heard, but that's literally it. Platinum continuing with Star Fox is a benefit, as it helps put a stop to the constant developer changes, but I also see it as a detriment because I don't completely trust them. Best thing Platinum has is their music. Zero's soundtrack was phenomenal.
Amen, Cosmic! This is the most accurate way to sum up my thoughts, and what I feel is truly the most accurate way for Star Fox to make it's comeback. Star Fox has so much potential, Nintendo just needs to see it. As long as it doesn't completely forget what it was with a new direction, I'm all for this.
Yeah I don't think that's gonna happen, I think Link is gonna use his runes and Zelda the champion abilities but their normals are likely gonna stay the same for the most part, I don't see them giving link a spear or an axe anytime soon. Another thing for mipha, it's gonna be very hard to implement her champion ability to a character like Zelda while the other 3 are easily adaptable.
Daruk - "Neat. Don't hate the idea"
honestly just look up vanquishes gameplay, doing something like that but with star fox would be dope.
Well they have taken liberties before (like changing Din's fire from a too cool to use attack in Ocarina to actively suicidal to use in Smash) So they could take some liberties with Mipha's grace.
It's just another example of marketing. Ghirahim had nothing like that. Meanwhile Nintendo has continuously marketed the Champions to the point that they're likely fairly recognizable even to those who haven't purchased Breath of the Wild.
12-18 seems like a fair estimate
I guess I spoke too soon. I'm still on Act 3 in my playthrough so I haven't seen everything yet. Don't know how it would work if she had a heal spell (unless it was only for teams or something), but it sounds more palatable. I still think she should forego the anima magic in favor of the dark/light & support stuff though.
So are we assuming Sakurai knew about the Champions DLC and amiibo when he decided the roster, and that's what made him decide to add a Champion into Smash?
I'd say 12-15 is a pretty safe bet imo
I'm low balling it with 5.
I think a new F-Zero with that would be awesome.
5-10 in the Main game are my expectations as of right now. Who knows how many more come DLC time though. Depends just how long they place the DLC period and/or if they really go all out with it.
18 seems a little high, although there's no second version and probably no veterans that need remaking so I guess it's possible
I dunno. I do like the idea of them getting missions from somewhere, but Star Fox isn't exactly a dodgy mercenary group, they're basically a do-gooder team that rescues people across the Lylat System. They are animal Thunderbirds, which makes sense since Minamoto was inspired by them and it was freakin' huge in Japan.
Not necessarily. I do think, however, that Nintendo had it planned out in advance, and it could have been something brought to Sakurai's attention if he asked them about the roster. We know Breath of the Wild content is obviously already in the game, so I don't think it's too far fetched that Sakurai may have learned about some of the long term stuff dealing with the game, like that they'd be pushing the Champions.
Good point. The game should be Star Wolf.
tbh I don't think that's realistic, I'm fully expecting more. We've got a dev cycle of over 2 years, one version of the game, no story mode and all the veterans are probably going to be straight ports over from wii u
