Knowing who the last two characters are kinda sucks the fun out speculation though.

It's like knowing exactly what you're getting on Christmas. You're just waiting to recieve something without getting any joy from guessing what you could get.

I'm almost 30. That joy ended when I learned that Santa wasn't real.

 

[Deleted member]

I'd rather know a character is coming 6 months ahead of time and explaining why "Brave means the character acts brave!" Is a dumb argument than the 2-3 months that this board became a 2nd /vg/

It at least was a learning experience you know. It was quite amusing all the silly theories just because people didn't like the idea of a character that wasn't a fan favorite getting in the game as DLC.

 

[StormC]

Santa exists... he's just a middle aged Japanese man who wears tacky leopard jackets.

 

[Noipoi]

I'm almost 30. That joy ended when I learned that Santa wasn't real.

My parents told me that from day 1

I never had any joy!

 

[Knight Dude]

People before were whining about all of the "hero is op" posts and ****.

Well, this one is for you. Here, this one says hero is bad.

shiakazing

"Goobye, Erdrick, Eight, Solo and even you Slime! I'm gonna blow you to bits!"

 

[Wademan94]

Do when are we gonna get the stock icons of the other three?

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Box vs. Grinch was bad but at least it only lasted a couple of weeks. Erdrick was known about for at least six months.

Tbh, the Erdrick speculation cycle was nothing compared to the complete trash heap that was speculation during the Grinch

We're talking about some very nasty users, and a whole lotta fanart showing the Grinch doing certain unsavory things to characters like Steve and Incineroar.

It was an absolute nightmare.

I'd take sword Goku complaints over Grinch butt vore any day

I need DQ Heroes stat, think I'll get em on PC and stream them sometime

 

[Good Guy Giygas]

Having never played any DQ game, I can't get over this guy:

He cracks me up.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I'll be the aethist here.

The sooner we know the last 2, the better.

I’m in agreement. I just want to know.

He cracks me up.

Does he have high enough friendship to evolve into Crobat?

 

[Shroob]

I’m in agreement. I just want to know.

Me too gal, me too.

 

[Good Guy Giygas]

Does he have high enough friendship to evolve into Crobat?

Dunno, but if he needs a friend, I'm there.

 

[Noipoi]

personally I don’t care either way if we know about #4 beforehand or not.

After that I’m just gonna dip, I want #5 to be a surprise.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

I only wanna know who 4 and 5 are IF Elma and/or KOS-MOS are one or both of them. otherwise, meh

 

[BlueMonk]

It bugs me that three houses lets you get so many units but has such a limited number of deployment slots

 

[Shadowwolflink]

I'll be the aethist here.

I would have much rather had all 5 announced as early as possible, with tentative release dates and a disclaimer that said something like "*release dates subject to change depending on development."

And it should have been at the end of the last Smash Direct, that way far less people would have been upset about Ken and Incinerate.

 

[Striga]

I think #4 will release in December this year and #5 will release in Feburary of next year. Just a hunch.

 

[zeldasmash]

I think #4 will release in December this year and #5 will release in Feburary of next year. Just a hunch.

Something at the VGA's this year. Yeah, I agree something in December is gonna happen.

 

[Aurane]

I just saw this scene in Toy Story 4 where the movie basically enforces emotional manipulation.

I'm actually appalled. What the **** man.

 

[CosmicQuark]

personally I don’t care either way if we know about #4 beforehand or not.

I got my most wanted, so I could personally go through the hype cycle with or without leaks now. Though, for the sake of those still anxious about their characters, I'd like them to be confirmed/deconfirmed as soon as possible. I've had that anxiety that started at E3 2018 and ended on E3 2019.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Me too gal, me too.

Like, at this point, I just want to know what I paid for.

I'm of the opposite opinion. I'd rather keep a few reveals under wraps so I have something to stay excited for. There's nothing that guarantees I'll even like the DLC characters, so at least this way I can enjoy imagining who we could get.

Besides, Sakurai shouldn't have to worry about whether or not we like the last two newcomers if he's already tried adding a few characters we specifically asked for. Ken and Incineroar were never meant to please the kind of hardcore fans who lurk in this thread.

 

[BlueMonk]

I understand the sentiment, but the fighter pass really isn't for people who would care about the character choices

 

[Aurane]

I haven't even bought the DLC. I haven't been playing Smash at all. I guess I'm just not into fighters anymore.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I understand the sentiment, but the fighter pass really isn't for people who would care about the character choices

Well yeah. I was gonna get all of them no matter who they were. It would just be nice to know over a year out. Just do it like NRS’s Kombat pack teasing for 11

The thing is that the only surprise is the who, not the when at this point.

Banjo will be late September/October
Character 4 will be December
Character 5 will be February

And character 4 will be revealed during the next Direct.

Nothing is set in stone. For all we know, the last two characters could be released together like Corrin and Bayo.

How to significantly improve Mario Kart's roster:

Step 1: Remove literally every baby character that isn't Mario and maybe Luigi
Step 2: Remove Pink Gold Peach

And you're done.

That's single-handily the best way to do a roster for Mario Kart. But one thing...

Step 3: Remove Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach, and Dry Bowser
Step 4: Add characters that are ****ing worth it to Mario Kart


Profit

It is absolutely set in stone

I just carved “Banjo in September” on a rock

 

[Shroob]

That would still imply us getting info for all of them before the year ends.

This game has a vastly different marketing strategy than 4.

If you're gonna put baby versions of characters in Mario Kart Nintendo, at least put in the OG baby...

They've been around for as long as my boi has

Not sure if I'll be watching any of the EVO.

I never watch EVO.

The only reason I'd even consider it is the .0000001% chance that they announce a Direct.

“Mr. Poi, what is X=9x + 15/10?



“Mr. Poi, what is the name of this obscure European cartoon?”

 

[CrusherMania1592]

Wademan94 I saw it before but haven't replied to it. Here's how I look at it

Spoiler

Lightweight: I really think this roster is very solid! Nothing I'd add or delete minus Cappy being the best wtf character to add to the game. I'd say Captain Toad, Nabbit, and maybe Larry and Wendy would be the heavy lightweights here.

Middleweight: Syrup is the only one I'm not sure about since she haven't really been used. Maybe a surprise enemy like Rex could replace her? Jr. should be in the division since Diddy (who was also a lightweight in Double Dash and middleweight in Wii) is there too. They're the same weight in the Kart series

Heavyweight: Personally I loathe Dry Bowser as I feel the character takes a spot away from others. Heavyweights don't really have many options in it which is a shame. Chuck is a nice addition and would be cool to see the Penguin from Galaxy being in here

I'd give it a solid 9.5/10 here.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I enjoy EVO for the Smash portions at least, whenever it's around.

I always rooted for HungryBox whenever Melee was apart of it's line-up.

I figures alternate versions of characters (Metal, Tanooki, Baby) can all be alternate costumes. I also decided to use Paper Mario partners over generic enemies to give each character a little more personality. Ideally the paper characters would be fully 3d instead so that they fit the game's aesthetic a bit more. I also originally wanted to include other Diddy Kong Racing characters, but Rare and Microsoft own pretty much all of them (they were licensed for the DS remake).
