What if they both came, but in a tag team?

(Always theorized she’d appear in his taunts, but maybe that could also happen)

That'd be nice. Plus we'd get two bears in the Pass.

 

[DerpingPikachu]

Here’s what I had in mind so far:
Definitely:

• NiGHTS
• Joker
• Mega Man
• Segata Sanshiro

Considering:

• Pac-Man
• Akira Yuki

Feel free to throw in any suggestions if you want. The only one I’m not doing is Mario since I don’t see it being Switch exclusive and I’m not the biggest fan of console exclusive content.

Hm. Well i'd definitely say Pac-Man. I was gonna say Mario but I agree with your reasons for not including him. You could add Crash, Spyro, or Rayman. My bias is telling me Bayonetta for another Sega character but she seems to have become a Nintendo exclusive. You could add the dude from super monkey ball, I think that's Sega.

 

[Aurane]

For now just gather up all your options and narrow down from there.

While on the subject, would you be willing to help me with guest characters for my Sonic fighting game?

As a rule, not adding Alex Kidd will brand your Sonic Fighting game a failure.

 

[Wademan94]

Sega Specific:

-NIGHTS
-Alex Kidd
-AiAi
-Joker
-Akira
-Jacky
-Gillius

Other 3rd party Guests:

-Pac-Man
-Mega Man
-Banjo
-Rash

Banjo and Rash seem weird but it looks like they'd fit at home with the Sonic universe to me.

I may do Alex Kidd, Gillius would be an interesting choice too. I’m not doing any console exclusive characters but Banjo and Rash would work pretty well if I did.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Cue conspiracy theories:

There was a problem fetching the tweet

This hints at nuthin'. They've been posting past VGA moments for a while now.

While on the subject, they better give us Bayonetta 3 details as we're long overdue for that.

 

[nessdeltarune00]

At the same time an M rated isn't needed to make it dark and creepy as ****. We also know BotW2 will be darker than Majora's Mask and that game is ****ing depressing

 

[Lamperouge]

Finally got my first badge.

I think Dynamax is a pretty cool mechanic, honestly.

Yeah like, it's been a long time since that intial announcement. Wonder what's going on behind the scenes?

Real talk the final hours theme is able to give me The Big Sad like nothing else. I hear that song and I imagine a completely broken Link forcing himself onwards while everyone tries to cope with how they're about to ****ing die

 

[DerpingPikachu]

We better get Bayo 3 news at the vga's, they've kept us in the dark long enough.

 

[Wademan94]

I’d say out of those three I’d pick Rayman as he seems like he’d lend himself well to a more Capcom Vs. style fighting game. I’m conflicted on Bayonetta and I wouldn’t have the slightest clue on how to adapt any Super Monkey Ball characters for this game, another SEGA character that came to mind was Beat from Jet Set Radio.

 

[Lamperouge]

I think it was a mistake to announce the game when it was so early in development.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Just resurrected my first fossil Pokemon and I've just got to say

Spoiler

Science was a mistake. I want to know who the sick, twisted freak behind this was, because they're hilarious.

 

[Wademan94]

DerpingPikachu would it help if I gave you my entire Sonic Clash roster so far?

 

[osby]

This long wait makes me think they're planning something big, or at least different for Bayonetta 3.

2 was great, but it was "1 but better" for the most part. Maybe they couldn't figure out how to top 2 and going for a unique direction.

 

[DerpingPikachu]

DerpingPikachu would it help if I gave you my entire Sonic Clash roster so far?

Sure, you can send it if you want.

 

[Aurane]

I just noticed that I'm behind a lot of people right now. Haha.

Raid battles are just really fun to me. I dunno what it is.

Ulala? You'd need to take some artistic freedom, but she can make an interesting fighter.

I'd like to see Zobio and Zobiko too, but they are pretty obscure characters.

 

[Wademan94]

Sure, you can send it if you want.

You know the girl that made Hazben Hotel? Well she is making spin off that has Brandon Rogers( amazing youtuber), Brock Baker and the VA for Zim and Futaba and it boggles my mind at how she got Richard Horvitz and Erika Lindbeck

Updated.

Pretty solid list, i'll try to think of more guest ideas for you.

 

[TheMightyP]

Ok, so since I see absolutely nobody talking about this, or at least mention it once, did you kniw that Hero plays a unique sound effect if he gets KO'd in Smash? It's actually the sound that plays when an enemy or boss crits you in Dragon Quest. This also makes him one of the few fighters to have a unique KO effect, which is... really weird that so few have those.

 

[Lamperouge]

Why do I have nothing to say here anymore

What kind of things do you enjoy doing?

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

I just noticed that I'm behind a lot of people right now. Haha.

Raid battles are just really fun to me. I dunno what it is.

I mean, I'd prioritize having fun over making more progress.

 

[Arcadenik]

This reminds me of how much I want every Pokémon to have a trainer in the background (exc Exept Mewtwo). Ash for Pikachu (or the kid from Let’s Go if you HAVE to), Gen 4 trainer for Lucario, Gen 6 trainer for Greninja, Gen 7 trainer for Incineroar.... whoever for Puff and Pichu..... and so on and so on.

Oh, yes! I always wanted this for a long time! To me, it makes more sense for Pokémon to have their trainers with them since most of them come out from their Pokeballs at the beginning of the match.

Spoiler

Pikachu - Chase
New entrance: Pikachu hops from Chase’s shoulder.

Jigglypuff - Lass (Jigglypuff Master Trainer in Pokémon Let’s Go is a Lass)
New entrance: Lass sends out Jigglypuff.

Pichu - Pokémon Breeder (it makes sense to me since they would be breeding and hatching strong Pokémon for Smash and Pichu is a baby Pokémon that is strong enough to be in Smash)
New entrance: Pokémon Egg hops from Pokémon Breeder’s hands and Pichu hatches from the egg.

Mewtwo - N/A
Same entrance

Squirtle, Ivysaur, Charizard - Red and Green (aka Pokémon Trainer)
Same entrance

Lucario - Cynthia
New entrance: Cynthia sends out Lucario.

Greninja - Calem and Serena
New entrance: Calem or Serena sends out Greninja.

Incineroar - Elio and Selene
New entrance: Elio or Selene sends out Incineroar.

Eevee - Elaine
Original entrance: Eevee hops from Elaine’s head.

Meowth, Ekans, Koffing - Jessie and James (aka Team Rocket)
Original entrance: Meowth hops to the stage from the background. Jessie sends out Ekans or James sends out Koffing to team up with Meowth.

 

[Aurane]

I was looking for that video earlier. Haha.

Edit: Arcadenik, spoiler those images, please. You're gonna give my phone a stroke.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

I keep telling people this addition is super lit. It's a really cool wrinkle for co-op in Pokemon.

Ok, so since I see absolutely nobody talking about this, or at least mention it once, did you kniw that Hero plays a unique sound effect if he gets KO'd in Smash? It's actually the sound that plays when an enemy or boss crits you in Dragon Quest. This also makes him one of the few fighters to have a unique KO effect, which is... really weird that so few have those.

I'm still pissed that Pac-Man doesn't have his signature death cry as his Star KO sound and that K. Rool doesn't go HONK! when he gets KO'd. :v

I haven't even fought the first gym yet and I'm like 7 hours in lol.

 

[StormC]

Lucario - Cynthia
New entrance: Cynthia sends out Lucario.

Lucario is based on the movie version though. It's sentient with dialogue and doesn't come out of a Pokeball.

 

[MainJPW]

That's more 3rd parties than I would expect from a Sonic fighting game. Characters like AiAi, Samba de Amigo, Billy Hatcher and Ulala (Eggman even mentions her by name over the loudspeaker in Sonic Colors because he thinks her vehicle was broken into) would make more sense.

 

[Arcadenik]

You're gonna give my phone a stroke.

Now your phone won’t get a stroke.

 

[Aurane]

Now your phone won’t get a stroke.

Appreciate it, mate. Strokes are no good.

 

[Arcadenik]

Ahh... is that so? So we already have anime Pokémon in Smash.

That makes Jessie and James and Meowth fair game.

Of course them appearing in official Pokémon video games helps too.

I’m also trying to take into consideration their movesets potential. It’s easy enough to insert those characters into a racing game but a Capcom Vs. styled fighting game is another story. I’d have no idea where to begin for characters like AiAi, Samba or Billy Hatcher, the least I’d do for them is make them costumes for the other characters.

Since you are doing a Capcom vs. style game, how are you going to do assists? The MvC1 route or the MvC2-onward route?

Because if you do the MvC1 route, those characters fit perfectly as assists.

 

[Arcadenik]

Sonic fighting game

Needs more Big the Cat.

But actually I would love to see a Sega version of Smash... there are good Sega first party games on Master System, Genesis, Saturn (maybe), and Dreamcast.

 

[WaddleKing]

Worth noting the same thing applying to Mewtwo, with it speaking dialogue in its results screen in Japanese.
Also technically not from there but I imagine it using Shadow Ball was likely due to it using it in the first Pokemon movie, before it even became a move.

Also worth giving a shoutout to the "Mewtwo Strikes Back" in its Smash 4 trailer showcase. And other anime nods like the Pichu Bros. in a Melee event and direct mentions to the anime characters in Red's trophy.
I think some fitting ones for Lucario would be Riley or (if allowed) Sir Aaron.
