I know it’s not just because of us that it sold well. But I also know people aren’t sheep who will buy anything with the Smash logo on it. If it’s a character they don’t like or recognize then they won’t buy it and they have every right not too. Again, you sound like a corporate executive. There’s a grey area between “mindless consumer@ and “smash bubble”. Consisting of people who don’t really care who gets in, but if it’s not someone they know, recognize, or like, and Sakurai can’t convince them on it with those presentation vids he does, then they won’t buy it. Because they don’t have to. Because they don’t care. That’s most people.I didn't say that at all.
The sales numbers did.
Unless you believe that the Smash DLC was a "ENORMOUS FINANCIAL SUCCESS" just based on the online Smash fandom, which is a fraction of a fraction of the playerbase, then I have a bridge to sell you.
The people who care about who actually gets in are a fraction of a fraction of the total userbase of this game. Most people when they see "Game has DLC", just either buy it because "More content", or ignore it entirely.

So people are stupid? Glad to know where you stand.Snake, the majority of the Fighter's Pass money was already made
In December 2018
Where only Joker was revealed.
Yes, please call me a corporate executive, because that's a compliment to me. I'd love to live in la la land where we all believe that the consumer is smarter than they are, but that's not the real world. This is business, and the big corporations have us down to a T, no matter how much we try to deny it.
>Peope are stupid?So people are stupid? Glad to know where you stand.
And I’ve run out of points because this, like so many arguments, boils down to how two people see the world in different ways. And you can’t convince someone to change their world vie with forum posts.
Yes.So people are stupid?
Thanks, thought it was too funny to not use while waiting for the directZ25 as the lord of dab I must rate your avatar.
10/10. It is Sakurai dabbing.
Can’t get more perfect dammit.
Didn't "Hat Goomba" die when we got a goddamn Plant as a character?This is pretty much accurate sometimes... (Fans calling poor Bandanna Dee a Hat Goomba just pisses me off.)

Bandana Dee Arguments: "Oh, he can't be in since he's just a Goomba with a Hat, he's can't be a unique individual while representing his species."
Same people who say that: *Doesn't complain about Palutena, Ness, Lucas, and some other characters having most of their moves from other characters in their series*
I think so.Didn't "Hat Goomba" die when we got a goddamn Plant as a character?
Ok Rick.>Peope are stupid?
Is Trump President?
No Trump is a peach.>Peope are stupid?
Is Trump President?
You think it would. But nah.Didn't "Hat Goomba" die when we got a goddamn Plant as a character?
No Trump is a peach.
Wait...
DONALD TRUMP IS FIGHTER 5. A Peach Echo at that.
Please laugh at this, this joke was awful
His Final Smash will be summoning the W A L L and making it fall down crushing other opponents.No Trump is a peach.

You really can't deny this, Snake.Ok Rick.
There was no information from anyone related to the characters saying anything until the release. No one associated with Banjo said anything. It came out of nowhere. For Terry, we all guessed it due to Nintendo messing up, but nothing from SNK was mentioned at all. Even Hero and Joker had the same treatment. Having people near capcom all going "Look. Look. Dante may be in smash" is not Nintendo's style.What do you mean by this
There’s a difference between that fact of marketing and saying people are idiots who will buy anything with a Smash Logo.You really can't deny this, Snake.
There's a difference between being a cynic and being someone who just accepts things for what they are.
If Nintendo were to release a graph on how the Fighter's Pass sold month by month, the biggest wave of sales would 100% be in between December 2018-Feb 2019, with spikes around April(Joker), June(E3), July(Hero), September(Banjo), and November(Terry)
But those spikes would be nothing compared to the immense tidal wave of those first three months.
This is no different than say, Youtube demonetization. Why do you think people hate it when the copyright bots hit right when they upload the video? Because all their ad revenue comes within the first few days/weeks/months of the video being up. Getting copyright struck then and there is a death sentence since it eats a HUGE amount of ad revenue.
It's literally no different.
No that's Shroob, Snake.Ok Rick.
To be honest, you're the only one saying people are dumb here, aside from my Trump joke.There’s a difference between that fact of marketing and saying people are idiots who will buy anything with a Smash Logo.
Wow okay. I see how it is.To be honest, you're the only one saying people are dumb here, aside from my Trump joke.
Ralsei bb plz no I did mean nuffin' no make me slep on couchWow okay. I see how it is.
TIL I’m an idiot for wanting every character in my favorite fighting game.There’s a difference between that fact of marketing and saying people are idiots who will buy anything with a Smash Logo.
I feel like we’re missing each other somewhere.
Well. I can’t wait for season pass 2 consisting of rock, dust, grass, hair, and chair. It will sell like gangbusters! People will buy anything with a Smash logo!To be honest, you're the only one saying people are dumb here, aside from my Trump joke.
But if Nintendo showed you the Smash sales charts, and you saw that the sales were all front loaded, well, yes, people will buy what you put before them.
I'd wager that the Sword/Shield DLC has already sold gangbusters because "It's Pokemon".
Now you're getting it!Well. I can’t wait for season pass 2 consisting of rock, dust, grass, hair, and chair. It will sell like gangbusters! People will buy anything with a Smash logo!
HeyWell. I can’t wait for season pass 2 consisting of rock, dust, grass, hair, and chair. It will sell like gangbusters! People will buy anything with a Smash logo!
No. There’s a difference there too. I bought the pass because I’m dedicated to the game and I knew I’d want all the characters, reguardless of who they are. Same for you. But not everyone is like that. Most people don’t have a lot of money to burn on games. So they can’t just buy whatever, they have to make sure it’s something they actually want and like first do their limited money isn’t waisted.TIL I’m an idiot for wanting every character in my favorite fighting game.
That one asshole fisherman with the 10,000 ft line.Hey
Chair's been a long time coming
We're all still reeling from the tease that was Chair Theory, remember?
They saw Max's reaction to Rock in the Terry showcase and decided to add himWell. I can’t wait for season pass 2 consisting of rock
So why are you even arguing then?No. There’s a difference there too. I bought the pass because I’m dedicated to the game and I knew I’d want all the characters, reguardless of who they are.

Right? What’s the point of any of it anyway? What, do you think you can “disprove” my reasons for not wanting her and change my opinion? That’s not how it works.All I'm gonna say is that not wanting an eighth Fire Emblem character is totally justified, and there's no need to overcomplicate it.
