if nothing else i'm feeling very confident in wright's chances now

banjo proved you don't need to be the most commercially successful property of your respective third party to get into smash, and frankly i just don't feel like resident evil got anywhere near the same amount of support as wright during the ballot days

But yeah, with every single veteran returning, Inkling, King K. Rool, and now Banjo & Kazooie, I honestly don't care who the remaining two DLC characters are. They'll just be bonuses to me.

Except maybe Shantae & Balloon Fighter (but I have worries, unfortunately)

Man if Wright gets in they might as well just stop making Smash cause nothing will top Ultimate for me

To be fair, it's been proven since the Classic series that Eggman is faster than Sonic.

So really, they are just respecting the lore.
Wouldn't be the first time.


Edit: :ultgreninja:'d
It happened since Sonic 2 so he's used to it
It's consistent with the canon.



So what y'all are saying is that Sonic is "too slow" and needs to "come on and step it up"?

If by some off chance that we get Eggman into smash somehow, I demand that he be the fastest character in the game.

It might just be the hype affecting my brain, but I actually think he has a shot.

Professor Layton is what Megaman was for the NES or what Banjo was for the N64. Outside of Dragon Quest 8 (funnily enough also developed by Level-5), the best selling 3rd party DS games were Diabolical Box, Curious Village, and Unwound Future. He has been a powerhouse for Nintendo's portable consoles, and has popularity in both the East and West, and especially Europe. I know Katrielle is currently the protagonist, but the series is still alive and carries his name.
Know what, maybe I won't give up on Layton just yet

Yeah, so consistent in the lore that, you, the guy with Sonic avi, got :ultgreninja:'ed a few posts above by me, the Eggman guy.

Truly, we are the best Sonic fan here, we respect so much the canon, we even apply it to real life.
So what y'all are saying is that Sonic is "too slow" and needs to "come on and step it up"?

Screw Phoenix Wright, Doomguy, or Sword character number 47.

I think it's safe to say PETA isn't very happy right now.

That's horrible that he'd use her as a club like that!

I mean, birds have hollow bones, so they're light and make for horrible clubs. If Banjo really wanted to do damage he should be swinging around a dog or something instead.

Really hope that isn't the case.

Zelda's frequently been a great character even when she's also a damsel in distress, but I really hope they don't retread that that role this particular time around. Aside from the fact that it'd be a refreshing change of pace, lots of folks have really wanted the chance to play as her in addition to or instead of Link. That too would be awesome.
Id rather it be a choice to pick either link or zelda because I always want to play as link
(Because I've gotten attached to him as a charachter) if I can but I would love for people who want to play as zelda ve able to too seems like a win win to me

Vinny's reaction is up.

I repeat

Noipoi Noipoi
Vinny's reaction is up.
I hadn't seen Vinesauce's Youtube channel before (I searched for "vinny e3"), but that was a great reaction to what we got. (at least for Banjo - I haven't watched the rest of it)

Now, here's a legit question I have: Cloud, a character from SE's most popular franchise, only gets 2 songs, a battlefield clone with hazards, a moveset that doesn't really rep FF the best, and no spirits besides himself. Meanwhile, Hero over here, from a game that's not as popular worldwide, gets 4 alt costumes, all who are different characters, a seemingly unique stage, a moveset that does a great job representing DQ, and probably more than 2 songs.

So what changed?

It's because FF has so many legal land mines it could be confused for a World War 2 battlefield.

square is fiercely protective of ff7 and cloud's image; square wants to push DQ as hard as possible in the west so they give nintendo free reign with it

I am sure square would want FF to be greatly represented actually, it's just that there is a lot of legal problems with squares earlier properties.

A lot of people don't appreciate the fact that DQ finally is being represented in Smash. DQ practically made the JRPG genre, and a lot of people's favorite games wouldn't be the same without it.

But I guess the Smash community will just see the Hero as another anime swordsman.

If Banjo is releasing in fall we're probably looking at another big wait before we see our next character

Ok. So. Now that we know about :ulthero: and :ultbanjo&kazooie: and their release windows, what does this mean for speculation?

I’m convinced that this means no characters from any first party game Nintendo is releasing till winter. Sword and Sheild MIGHT still be on the table depending on how late into fall Banjo releases. But Fire Emblem, Daemon X Machina, and Astral Chain are definitely off the table. I’m also thinking that this confirms the common belief in an all third-party/all new franchises DLC lineup. My faith is still in Crash and a Dark Souls Character, but Travis Touchdowm looks pretty possible too. Just saying. He’s been a consistent request since Brawl. He’s certainly nowhere near as highly requested as Banjo or Ridley, but is certainly possible.
