what. i didn't say anything like that, i like captain falcon because of the reasons that other guy doesn't. did you quote the wrong person
i might be wrong but i think the doom marine in all of the games is the same guy. there's like, a plot point in doom 2016 relating to it im pretty sure??
Shouldnt the DQ1 and 2 hero be costumes too tho
Xander announcing him as “DOOMGUY” would be pretty ridiculous lol
Maybe Doom sells well enough in the west to warrant DLC or Nintendo wants to continue their good relationship with Bethesda or maybe it’s about being iconic - Sakurai has called the creator of Doom the father of FPS so he at least likes/respects the series.
but would it be out of place? we already have him saying things like mr game and watch, rob, bowser...... junior, and piranha plant
Hey, I never said I didn't like Captain Falcon. Just that he's a bad pick if you're trying to go for being unique lol
Did Bayonetta carry history with her? I thought she was purely a fan/promotional pick.
I can't believe the official upload of Ridley's trailer only has 113,000 views! Talk about a character that fans were rabid over, not to mention that many ridiculed the mere idea of getting in, making his inclusion all the more shocking. How is his trailer not in the millions?! I can only imagine his fans were hospitalized for hype-othermia due to how cool they thought it was during the E3 broadcast.
Yeah you're right, I mistook 64's story for being noncanon.
Potential counter-argument. The same argument could be made against Erdrick. Dragon Quests's lack of Western popularity could be seen as a risk that could be offset by a character that would most likely resonate stronger with the Western audience. It's all conjecture of course.
You just made it sound like veterans were a bad thing.
The Pits aren’t really swordsfighters (heck the dual blades are only half of a bow)...not sure if they even get to count compared to all the actual swordfighters
I honestly have no clue. The only thing the rumor says is that he's in to promote DQ overseas. Those are the only three named.
But, why.
i think that smash bros tends to have a hierarchy of importance based on where characters are popular
No, Snake's cool. Who gives a damn about what company owns who, what a character represents, or why the character got in? They're cool. Sakurai thought they were cool to add. That's what matters.
Having good intentions doesn't make it sound logic. If you stacked up the amount of fan rules built on the premise of "it hasn't happened yet so it won't happen" which have crumbled away, versus those people still believe, you'd see why this perspective is ultimately doomed to fail, eventually.
Broadly speaking, no.
Feb 2020 was likely a tentative listing at the time. It could all be released before that point.
Steve has no predefined personality, yeah. Doomguy, on the other hand, has always had quite a bit of personality.
Alternatively, it could be an inverse of the Dragon Quest inclusion - help market DOOM to a Japanese audience.
I know sometimes it's hard to make it to the end of the sentence but the Smash bubble was invoked for the perspective of K. Rool being more well known than Ryu Hayabusa. Not for calling K. Rool a bubble character.
Goomba for Smash...duh...and there’s no such thing as a “small handful of 1st party characters outside of AT characters”...otherwise we wouldn’t have gotten
of all charactersI used to think that, but seeing how big a deal the reveal was outside our bubble after it happened, I have to admit I was super wrong on that, lol.
My only issue with this explanation is that, if we're assuming this rumor is true, then Nintendo has an active stake in Dragon Quest seeing as how they'll be publishing it (presumably in the West at least.) They don't really have any involvement with DOOM Eternal beyond "hey this game is on our system buy it."
Tons of those ATs would be dope as playable characters, just sayin'.
They would be, but they're not happening this game.
poke floats
It's been 99% about Nintendo until 4's DLC. People seem to forget this is a Nintendo game and that will never not be true. Why should series that have little to nothing to do with Nintendo be in it? Besides, the statement was more of I'd be fine with cutting him and I would if I were in charge, but I'm not actively calling for him to be cut (though he probably will be). I'm moreso about stemming the flow of third parties and giving priority to first parties. You know, the company whose game this is.
People seem to think companies actually care about this kind of stuff. They aren't jealous anime schoolgirls. They're corporations with a bottom line. If Nintendo feels it's more profitable to wrangle up some third party all stars for a fighting game full of all stars, that's what they'll do. They've probably decided they're running out of bombshells until new games come out. That's the only "priority" they care about: money.
I wouldn't be shocked if at some point we get the ability to play as bosses and Assist Trophies in a special mode patched into the game. Between the Master Hand fight in WoL and the nuclear reaction to Waluigi being an AT, it really seems like the time for it to happen. Honestly, that's what I thought the Piranha Plant trailer was revealing at first! But if not in Ultimate, I imagine it will at least come with the next installment à la Squad Strike after that mechanic's debut in Smash Tour. I'm definitely looking forward to it, personally!
