My curiosity reacts.

What do fans want in a fighter?


Is it the moveset potential? Do you want them to fight properly and get to the point, be completely unpredictable and fight however or a mix of both?

Is it the character portrayal? Like them for who they are and how they're represented, or see how they adapt in a fighting environment?

If there is another fighting game character in future DLC, I assume they will be leaked by Nintendo themselves like Ryu and Terry.

If there is another fighting game character, I'd love for it to be Sol Badguy tbh. Guilty Gear in Smash would be a dream come true, and Arcsys is quite the legacy company, so it would be a huge bummer if they don't get a rep in at some point. Hell, I'll even take Ragna as a choice, just to have a Blazblue stage and music available as well.

I like characters who have unique and interesting moves which are derivative of their abilities within their own games.

Unique and Interesting, but Useful?

Ken try to flirt with Zelda in his trailer, even though he already has a wife.

Cleary, the Americain Flame Duo don't give a flying uppercut ****.
Or, Sakurai doesn' know they have others.

Banjo and Kazooie's classic mode: Perfect Partners.

Not present Mario & Luigi or Villager & Isabelle.

All reported to say "Are we a joke to you?"

Luigi has some very slight resentment towards his brother.

Isabelle does not approve of her mayor’s Friday night murder fiestas.

Therefore, they’re not completely perfect partners.

I need 2 major things. I need the character to feel satisfying to play, I decided to main Ike in Brawl despite not knowing Fire Emblem back in the day because no other character gave me the feeling of satisfaction more than this dude swinging his big ass sword around with the appropriately chunky sound effects. I also need the character to feel right, when I first tried Ridley at Gamescon over a year ago he instantly clicked, I felt like I was fully in control of what I was fully in control. With Incineroar, I felt the same thing. With a character like Little Mac? I felt that I wasn't losing due to my own mistakes or my opponent being more skilled than me, I felt "This character is to blame". I regularly play characters with bad to awful disadvantage states yet when I'm in disadvantage with Ridley, I don't feel "God Ridley is really holding me back" but rather "Damn, didn't try hard enough, now I have to face the consequences". There's also the level of finesse, I find Joker and Ken fun but I don't really know what the hell I'm doing if I play them despite playing Ryu often in 4, so I prefer skill floors to not be high

I was kinda disappointed Banjo & Kazooie's wrestling title is just "laid-back animals."

"Bear And Bird" was so obvious.

Nah, Peach try to flirt with Link in some Smash 4 screenshot & trailers, with Zelda being upset by it, so it's definitly intentional.

Fun fact, I speedrun 2D Sonic games in my freetime. Or moreso, speedrun levels, sometimes the game.

I was actually top 50 in Sonic Mania's Stardust Speedway for a while, but they purged the leaderboards with Plus.

Now that I think about it, I feel like I’m still too young to even be taking Smash to a competitive level. Most people I see are around 19+ and I’m over here like, “eyyy dude, still not an adult yet.” Don’t know why this is bothering me so much, considering the fact that there’s people who play who are even younger than I am.

Because of this image.

I'm going to ship Terry & Samus and none of you are going to stop me.

Also Diddy & Terry are best buddy and Sans is here I guess.
I mean, isn't Terry in SNK Heroines just simply Samus in his outfit?

Which would make it all the more hilarious and surreal if Terry gets his Midnight Bliss form as an alternate costume and people start pairing that with Samus.

Interesting tidbit, but I had two of my seniors come up to me today to say, “MR. HAHN! DID YOU SEE??? TERRY BOGARD IN SMASH”.

I didn’t think my students would be so hyped. But they were.

So how'd you rank the confirmed DLC characters personally now that Terry joins the group?

5. :ultjoker:
4. :ulthero:
3. :ult_terry:
2. :ultpiranha:
1. :ultbanjokazooie:
1. :ultbanjokazooie: And not even close
2. :ultpiranha: I've found him to be quite fun and charming, and Sakurai was right, everyone knows who he is.
3. :ultjoker: Got me interested in Persona, which I haven't picked up yet but do love the music for.
4. :ulthero: Not huge into JRPGs or more sword fighters, but a unique setup and a series that probably should be represented.
5. Terry: Meh. Nothing about him is the slightest bit interesting to me. If we didn't get the announcement of more coming I would be a tad disappointed, but I think they added in that info because that figured that might be the case for a lot of people.

I've been overall solid with the fighters pass, but not enthused. Don't regret buying it though, because I'm the type of person that needs every character available in the game. I'd say the Sans stuff has been more interesting to me than Hero or Terry.

I don't know if I should support this or try to act like I seen nothing.

Moveset Potential. I want a character that does something others have not, a good way to do this is for the character to be a unique shape, so not humanoid. Piranha Plant does this well, and it's why a want a car to playable.

I feel like that's the case for every content creator, or any person doing a job, no matter how well they do. You can't please everyone.
