I mean, she is the TuToriel boss, you can't expect her to be too crazy since she is more of a test at how the players will handle a enemy who doesn't have a obvious way to spare them.

It’s not the difficulty I’m referring too. I think she works well as a tutorial boss, but I think she could have had just a little bit more to her, but not too much more.

Maybe Sakurai should take a page from the DQ playbook and licence 3 other FF characters from other games so we can get more music

I literally never said that "fan favorite" picks are a "bad thing". Not once. I also never said that picks should be "purely pragmatic" and dependent on "sales and relevancy". Not once. I said that, "you've got main characters from some of the largest, and still relevant, gaming series." This is entirely different from saying "Smash additions should be purely pragmatic and dependant ONLY (never said that) on sales and relevancy". That's mischaracterizing what I said.

Waluigi could absolutely get in. He has fan demand. However, the context for which I don't see it happening isn't because he doesn't matter or something. It's because he is literally already in the game. He isn't a playable character, but Sakurai has shown throughout Smash's history that he views the position a character is given as...relatively solid, within the same game. Sure, Mewtwo and Lucas had their original trophies in Wii U, but that simply isn't the same thing as an Assist Trophy. We've never had an AT upgrade in-game.

The other reason I base my thoughts on 1st parties vs 3rd parties as DLC is that with Sakurai looking to, "expand on the record as much as he can" with the DLC, adding in characters that are not only already in Smash, but from a series that already has a playable character on the roster (or a boss, for example), does not expand the crossover record. Not to mention, if the 2nd batch of newcomers is a Season 2, structured similarly to Fighter Pass 1, then the additions will once again run into the situation of, "What spirits do they bring? What stage? What music?". Characters from series with immense amounts of content already in Smash will struggle with this. Series that don't have any content in Smash, will not struggle with this.

I simply don't believe that Sakurai will upgrade AT's or Spirits when he has the option to go all in on new characters. If he does, then that's his prerogative. I'm not the director, it's his game. But with this being an opportunity that will likely never be available again, I would think he'd go for a strategy that brings in the biggest names, especially when effectively most if not all major Nintendo characters are playable or in Smash in some form.

I understand where you're coming from when it comes to Waluigi already being represented in the game. My impression of your argument is that you believe Waluigi won't get in as a playable fighter because he's already an assist trophy and there hasn't been a precedence where Assist Trophies got upgraded before. However, that could very well change if Sakurai decides so. The man has changed his opinions on what Smash is and what could get in many times. If he is willing to listen to fan demand then he could very well change his mind on Assist Trophies. This is a game that broke so many fan rules and bought us characters that we never thought we'd see, so the idea that another rule could be broken is not that crazy.

I should reiterate something I've been saying many times before. If Sakurai didn't know about Waluigi's huge demand then he certainly knows now after Reggie personally told him last year. It could lead to something or it could not. I would like to say that people believed we wouldn't get a character from a western company because it wasn't likely. Things seem impossible until they happen. The announcement of more DLC means that speculation has reset and those who seemed like a lost cause have a chance again.

As for the extra DLC. We do not know if it follows the same pattern as the Fighters Pass, nor did they imply that it does. It could very well be separate DLC packs like in Smash 4. If it does follow the pattern of the fighters pass with spirits and stages then I'll concede that we'll likely get third parties only, but until then there is nothing set in stone.

If we are going to use Sakurai's statements, then he has said something along the lines of "more DLC is an opportunity to please the fans". If you ask me personally then this alludes to there being a Nintendo-core pick in the upcoming DLC, or it could be taken as more third party picks. Just like how "expand on the record as much as he can" could be taken as him saying we'll get more content instead. We don't know the exact implications of his statements and they could lead to different interpretations.

While we are on the topic of Toriel, let’s take a moment to appreciate an amazing quote from Toby Fox, referring to Toriel.
"It's entirely possible she's said the f-word before. There's no knowing. It's one of life's greatest mysteries."

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Alrighty, thanks for the feedback, y'all

definitely got a bunch of games on my radar now

Anyways, hopefully in the next few weeks, I'll get a hold of a Switch and start playing Ultimate with y'all!

Oh I think she has, she most definitely has.

But never around the children.

 

[Deleted member]

Soooo... I'm planning to finally get myself a Switch as well as a copy of Ultimate within the next few weeks...

Do y'all have any other games you'd recommend to me?

Enter the Gungeon and Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ are both fantastic if you're into roguelikes, though maybe look into getting Isaac on PC since it's getting DLC at the end of the year which might not come to consoles for a while.
As for other indie games I'd also recommend Celeste, Dead Cells, Katana Zero, Darkest Dungeon, Hollow Knight and Slay the Spire

 

[Iridium]

I still have plans for a SmashBoards online tourney in maybe a few months, if I can find the perfect time to buy the membership.

PR means "Power Rankings." One was made for Smash 4, but now I asked to make Smash Ultimate's PR Directory.

It's still a work in progress thought, but at least I can post it with a structure

I forgot about that...

Never posted in one of those yet.

Hopefully I also see you in DQB2 when we both get the game and the Online subscription!

Maybe we even find Professor Pumpkaboo to join us.

For ****s sake Asgore, did you kill another kid?

Cue laugh track

 

[Deleted member]

I voiced Freddy in a fangame, so I sent the creator of the game an audio file of my Freddy saying “Bro, you just posted cringe! You are going to lose subscriber!”

This is why people never cast me. /s

Se requested the 3 DQ heroes, not Sakurai. So if SE says "no more FF characters" thrn No more FF characters

 

[Deleted member]

Guh-Huzzah! I wonder if the birthday request you proposed me could be for the Deltarune character I brought up.

He was my favourite part of the game.

Good luck with that. FF rights are all over the place iirc.

Feeling a little down rn, just realized they never released Duck Hunt on NES online

xD This is the first time I draw a Pokemon style character. I did it based on one of my young relatives that is a Pokemon fan. I am rather proud of the result, it was a good challenge.

 

[Deleted member]

I narrowed my list of things to writing about too
Why Uu is Smogon's most unstable tier
10 Worst Wii shovelware
The Story of fortnite and why it's Glory days are over
What should I do first?

I have a few voices for characters, but Rouxxls Kaard was never one of them. I could try something, though.

You sound like a pretty awesome relative.

I do really thank SE for having pushed the idea of supporting the DQ fandom in the West with the addition of the DQ8 Hero.

It does kind of show that they really have some value for us and not just the fandom in Japan as some people used to sadly believe.

This is incredibly accurate! Amazing work!

How would THAT work? It's based completely around the technology of a CRT. It would take so much effort to make it work that it would be worthless.

Still surprised they never made a new Duck Hunt on the Wii though. Even as an eShop title.

 

[Raxxel]

Good morning lads, are you okay today?

 

[MainJPW]

The shade of blue in the background reminds me of Sonic 2, I wonder why.

Probably because the menus all use some shade of blue.

[Metal Shop X]

Ramen Tengoku Another game I recommend to you is Blaster Master Zero 2 on the Eshop, I'm really bad at explaination, but it's a really fun game where you have 2 different playstyle: one who you control a tank on a 2D plane and jump'n shoot what's in front of you, and the other where you're in a 2D Zelda plan and have to explore rooms to find the exit and kill the ennemies on the way, it's really dang fun, it isn't too long to finish, and really, it's a game I recommend to anyone here who is looking for a good time.

Duck Hunt was on the Wii U, and the Switch does have motion controls iirc. I don't think it requires a sensor like the Wii though.

 

[Bee Card]

Yeah, I did...

In terms of Wii u games I have that were later enhanced on Switch, I have Mario Kart 8 and Breath of the Wild, so I don't really have any plans to double dip with em

Yes that's why I asked the questions ^^
If you didn't had Bayonetta and if you're interested I recommend you the first Bayonetta.
Otherwise I didn't have a switch yet so I would say Mario Odyssey for the exclusive game and for non-exclusives Dragon Quest Builders 2, Puyo Puyo Tetris, Sonic Mania, Katamari Damacy Reroll, Samurai Shodown, Hollow Knight, Dead Cells, Celeste, Dark Souls, Wonderboy, etc

If you have Amazon Prime you can use it to get Twitch Prime, and then get a free year of NSO. The period to claim the first three months ends on the 24th of this month, after which you get an entire year.

Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey if you've never played them.

LA Noire, Witcher 3, and Crash are on the Switch if you were ever curious about them.

Bunch of indie titles like Celeste, Shovel Knight, Shantae, Wargroove, Enter the Gungeon, Bloodstained, etc.

If you wanna try out a Fire Emblem game, Three Houses isn't a bad start.

 

[Wademan94]

I'm personally into platformers, rhythm games, sandbox, and fighters but I'm not really opposed to anything else

Here’s a few platformers to keep in mind: Celeste, The Messenger, Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, Dead Cells, Hollow Knight, Gris, Iconoclasts, Mark of the Ninja.

My school teacher and my classmates were joking about how the mayas talked so much about 12/21/2012, but not about how it would be the last time in a good while when we could make the “date with all the numbers being equal” joke.
