The Touhou fandom will be completely obliterated, that’s what will happen.
Hey, at least you've got hopes for a future Smash title.
Joke: Anime
idk about that chief, I dont have much hopes for a future smash title
I'm pretty sure Atlus isn't getting a second character in general.
You say that like it's not gonna happen
yeah the third sega character would have been some garbage like alex kidd
You take that back about my ㄒ卄丨匚匚 boi
Though I don't know if Sakurai caring about it was a key factor. We don't know enough details behind how Nintendo is selecting the characters. Or how Sakurai and them are working together to make it work. I don't think Sakurai's personal like of a series is really a factor here. At least compared to figuring out how the character can work right, which is a different thing.
Yeah, that was what I was trying to say. Should've phrased it as "especially one from another franchise closely tied to one already in Smash"
Isn't he a literal child? Hello, Chris Hanson?
Probably cause it doesn't have extremely unbelievable elements or contradicts Sakurai's statements. It actually makes sense. Nor does it have any leakers saying why it's impossible. Or a visual aid that we can dissect. The evidence towards it is also more useful with the datamine. It didn't help the Grinch leak in comparison.
Hey, that’s me!
i think your dismissal of Ryu Hayabusa is uber flawed. You realize he has a unique set of physical abilities and Ninja tools that other characters don't use right?Gotta say what I expect with DLC characters and what seems likely :
Joker, we know he's gotta get in, and persona is huge right now, but what appeals me the most is.... how will the use of Persona will be in Smash?! I think that's gonna be quite unique.... and OP (i still have shivers thinking about the fresh new Bayo sm4sh)
Erdrick, I think he's pretty much given at this point, and the idea of having a new sword and shield character who isn't a Link is very exciting. But more than that, he/she is probably gonna have MAGIC! He's gonna be like Robin.... but without books..... and with a shield !
Ryu Hayabusa? Yeah, no, I think he would be great as a NES character but.... we have two ninjas already, with Greninja and Sheik. Use legs to fight? Sheik. Use edges to fight? Kinda Greninja. I really don't think he would add that much diversity that Reggie told the dlc would bring...
Steve? I don't care if it's minecraft, that's the least charismatic character of the lot. Steve is just a walking skin with a stick in his a**. He doesn't have an animation to jump in his own game, he cannot do anything, how can you even imagine him as a character? All his tilts, smash and aerials would look the same. The only different animation he has is when he swim, and it was just a few months ago... No, that's just silly.............
But if he gets in, really, don't mind what i said, kay?
And finally Doomguy.... No. Don't think so. Bye. Should i bother explain? no. huh?.... i should? .... Damn... huh... well, he's over violen- BAYONETTA - Yeah I know, she's kinda sexy, violent and not really family friendly but she gave a new type of gameplay. And Bayo2 is a Nintendo exclusivity.... I think she kinda deserved her spot. Doomguy? No, he's not fitting in.
Now who do I think could make it in? Well i'm no leaker, but I have some thinkings :
There's a genre non-represented in smash who would need some spotlight in the near futur and that's.... beat-them-all ! A genre smash knows very well ! In that categorie there's three contenders :
Final fight, but that would mean more Capcom, and more Street fighter since most characters from Final Fight got into the fighting game.
Double dragon, really iconic and one of the first ones. Could really easily give us a new way to fight with two peoples (unlike Ice Climbers and Rosalina, maybe switching between the two would be nice? Or maybe some moves with two characters...)
Street of Rage, never really got on Nintendo software, but that doesn't seem to stop Nintendo this time around. A fourth one is coming, and it would be nice to have that little push, thanks to Smash.
If what Vergeben said is true, i think we could get a Banjo-Kazooie with his boss being from Minecraft, as a two-in-a-pot package from microsoft. Would please the fans AND promote minecraft.
There's a way to get Dante also in smash, with DMC5 coming. A Switch version for it and for DMC HD Collection could be on the way, getting a way in to Dante, joining hand with his friend Bayo. Sword and guns combos could really be fun to play. Not really believing in that one but, hey, never know.
Then, imma throw a few ideas about a possible Bandai Namco rep. Them helping with smash and having just Pacman is weird, so i could really well see a character from one of those :
Tales of.... but unlikely right? Already too much jrpgs.
Soul Calibur? Hum, nah.
Tekken? More possible, but still meh.
Dark Souls? I like the idea of Solaire being a character.
Just speculating, tell me what you think about what i said ^^
You don't just deny THE video game ninja with "we already have two ninjas".
Another "Doomguy is too violent" argument? Alright, here goes.
Why is that exactly?
I think you're vastly underestimating the abilities of Ryu Hayabusa, especially considering Sheik and Greninja aren't especially as ninja-focused as Ryu and who has much more to draw from especially with his dragon blade and grappels, namely the izuna drop.
Are you implying that Doomguy, a guy from a genre not yet realized in Smash, wouldn't give a "new type of gameplay"? And that Nintendo exclusivity makes a character more earned? Either way, gonna have to disagree with both notions.
Something something design
-In The Opinion of One Man On A Fourm.
This is exactly why. There's not enough "content" to the leak yet to determine it false outright, if that makes sense, and it's not a dumb text leak that attempts to predict Sakurai's thought process or anything like that. It largely depends on the side stuff that the leaker claims (P5 R releasing first half of 2019, the DQ games being ported, Erdrick having the Luminary alt costume, etc.) or a character reveal that isn't on the list, and that stuff can only really be disproven with time.
Oh GameFAQs how you never cease to amuse me.
While the contribution of these focused fans isn't to be ignored, as evidenced by K. Rool's immense Ballot presence in part due to the Kutthroat's Ballot Campaign and Sakurai's statements on Ridley and Geno, a flaw of the fanbase at large is a general insistence that those within the Smash Bubble are the only Smash Bros. fans and that by not catering to them specifically, Nintendo is making a mistake. This sentiment completely ignores other fanbases outside of the core fanbase which gave us picks such as Isabelle and Simon Belmont.
Every Smash fan poll cited majorly falls within the Smash Bubble because those within the Smash Bubble are most inclined to vote on polls like these. Granted, even the official Smash Ballot itself falls prey to this, and indeed those within the Smash Bubble would be much more inclined to vote in an official poll like this, but any bias within it is made up for by the Law of Large Numbers, defined as:
The official nature of the poll and the advertising conducted for it extended the reach of the poll to even casual fans, which is why it's so important to establish this disconnect. The largest, most recent Smash fan poll as of right now is the Reddit Smash Ultimate Tourney randomized poll, with over 50,000 votes. In comparison, the Smash Ballot collected 1.8 million votes (360 times more votes), making it much closer to the wants of the entire Smash Bros. fanbase, hence why picks like Simon Belmont can float by the core fanbase largely undetected.
If a larger reddit fan poll was able to attract people outside of Reddit's r/SmashBros, then a poll as massive as the official Ballot would be able to attract people from all over, giving a skew towards the silent majority, as anyone could vote on it, even people outside of the regular Nintendo or Smash Bros. fanbase.
His moves maybe be not the same and his weapons not the same too, but does he have a really unique features that tells him apart from regular ninjas? Sheik and Greninja are using the ninja stuff plenty, would it feel really different as a whole? I'm aiming at Snake/Villager/Megaman kind of new gameplays with what i said.
A certain space pirate says hi!
I believe it was orignally on 5chan before being translated over unto gamefaqs, which then spread outwards from there.
Took you long enough.
ok where we fightin’ boys
