I'm surprised so few people seem to think the Starling is referencing Resident Evil.

Because, you know

 

[PSIGuy]

Sans.

we've had Ness since Smash 64 though

 

[Noipoi]

Seems kinda obvious I would say...

Ummmm

The starling has wings.

Last I checked, Raph doesn’t have arms.

Checkmate, atheists.

 

[StormC]

Sad thing is, I feel like there are more people open to a Three Houses rep than there are people open to a SwSh character.

That hurts. It really does.

Maybe as more new Pokemon get revealed and we get closer to release, things will change. I just hope their reason behind not wanting a Gen 8 rep doesn't have anything to do with that National Dex nonsense. I'm tired of that bleeding into any conversation involving SwSh.

Selfishly I would prefer a Pokemon character since they would be visually distinct in comparison to the humanoid character options. I generally really like the Pokemon characters they add to Smash. Plus I'd be okay with a big series like Pokemon getting special treatment, but I know that's controversial here.

NOW we're cooking with gas.

Incineroar also got in with the base game, that's going to affect things. I'm honestly kind of Pokemon'd out when it comes to smash.

I don't think Incineroar really does anything. The series is popular enough to warrant another character. Plus, Pokemon got two newcomers in 64, Melee, and Brawl, and we just saw FE get three characters in Smash 4, one of which was DLC after an old FE character returned.

And I guess I somewhat understand why some people may be tired of Pokemon characters, but it's not like Pokemon has been racking up the newcomers lately. It's only gotten two new characters between SSB4 and Ultimate, which is less than Mario and FE and equal to Metroid and KI.

I'm on chapter 8 and I haven't been able to recruit anyone but the neutral characters... how are you doing it?

I go to explore and train with teachers for specific classes. Also make sure the stats are above 15 points.

Haha necro meming

 

[SnakeFighter64]

This backfired horribly.

I bought a copy of Fortune Street to play with my family instead of Monopoly. And now they like it so damn much that we’re playing it non stop. I’m so sick of it. But every night it’s “lets play Fortune Street!”

You replaced Monopoly with Fortune Street? Jesus, you deserved this, then.

dawg if you post cryptic hints instead of just saying what it is whats the point in trusting you

sabi shouldve been dunked in the trash months ago

 

[Double K]

If that was the case, why not add a BOTW character ahead of time? Or a Xenoblade 2 character? Or ARMS? They don't do it because it's a risk. Game development constantly fluctuates and shifts and Three Houses was still a long way away when they were deciding DLC characters. They would have no idea if people would respond positively to the game, what was in the game, or if the game might be delayed (again). They actively have avoided doing it except in the case of Pokemon, which is about as close to a sure thing as you can get.

I'm not sure why you keep missing the point I'm very clearly saying of 'relevancy is not an actual argument'

It’s to combat the Nintendo ninjas

fight the ninjas then

what are they gonna do? taking sabi down just proves him right

Hey. It’s easier for me to plan when it’s a video game. Plus the games take way less time. We just play way more often.

Tbf Sabi didn't share the starling, fatmanonice did. He's also in that discord. And neither know what it's actually hinting at, it was posted by one of Sabi's sources.

Plus I'd be okay with a big series like Pokemon getting special treatment, but I know that's controversial here.

I feel like the Pokémon series as a whole lends itself to Smash pretty well. So many Pokémon have the potential to be fighters in this style of gameplay. It’s probably one of the biggest reasons why I’ve wanted to see and have been working on ideas for a dedicated Smash-styled Pokémon fighting game.

Sure, Pokemon hasn't gotten a big burst of newcomers like FE has, but it's been consistently getting tons of newcomers since the dawn of time. Part of what makes me tired of it is that the past two newcomers were almost solely meant for marketing a new generation. I'm not really up for another pokemon that exists only to shill a new game and then be forgotten, certainly not one I'm paying for.

if it isnt a plant with vr goggles who has a 101% accuracy rate i have zero regrets of dunking anything

 

[BlueMonk]

lol Capcom just uploaded the DLC trailer, so much for an EVO reveal

 

[TheMightyP]

One thing to note about Pokemon is that due to thier unusual body types and powers, they tend to have the most unique movesets of the cast.

So I wouldn't be opposed to new Pokemon.
But I would be a bit irritated if a Gen 8 mon was in the fighter pass for other reasons.

I'd prefer a SwSh rep, though I'd rather have no one from FE or Pokemon, because I dislike the idea of how the continuous releases of games in those series keep guaranteeing them new characters.

 

[Shroob]

Starling to reference Jill or Leon makes sense.

 

[TheMightyP]

What if the Starling the entire time was referring to a Star, like a pop star or something? I mean, we haven't got a rhythm rep, and thats one people are clamoring for since the Chorus Kids.


Idk.

 

[Aurane]

Corviknight newcomer so people will shut the hell up about body type viability.

Are you saying that I cant bodyshame birds anymore?

Sometimes it takes a lot of humility to admit that the most cryptic hints are also the most obvious.

 

[StormC]

My point is in the context of the Fighters Pass, the longterm popularity of 3H and IS's plans for the characters/game weren't going to be deciding factor in a character roster that was decided on in November. Anything after that is fair game.

 

[Shadowwolflink]

If there's a character you want, you'd better support them now instead of later. A second Fighter Pass is anything but confirmed, so if fighter #5 comes and goes without any announcements of more DLC, you can kiss Edelgard's chances goodbye. She'll be old news by Smash 6.

Personally, I don't really want any more third-parties. Yeah, they can be fun and exciting, but I've more than had my fill. I'd actually like for the last two spots to go back to first-party so the Nintendo fans have something too.

I don't think giving characters support at this point matters, those 5 DLC characters have already been chosen by now and Nintendo isn't going to make any changes at this point.

I still really think that if this pass sells well, there will be a second. It would be such a weird decision to have a game with DLC support, released this early in the console's lifetime, to just stop being supported.

That, and I hate it when people say, "'This character' can't fight because they don't have a body shape that fits the fighting game".

But mostly birds. Stop bird shaming, you wingless mongrels.

But do you want to? Really?

I still don't think Nintendo will have anything to reveal at EVO.

It's not time for a KI sequel, it hasn't been 25 years since Uprising yet.

Splatoon 2

ARMS would be a better example, that one didn't even last for a year (though Party Crashes kept happening until recently).

Splatoon 2, while lasting for over 2 years, got way more content and support than ARMS ever did.

@Taylor F T W T Something had to be sacrified because of the new version of Blender:

Spoiler: ;'( Why my Omega Ridley...

T ^ T I'm so sad! Just when I was thinking of drawing more of Omega Ridley, this happened! For some reason the model is now textureless, when before it had EVERYTHING! I wonder why it got affected...

 

[Kirby Dragons]

A second pass might happen, but it's not anything I've been considering. Probably cause it'd just be another five random third-parties I don't care about.
