E3 2020 was planned for 9th - 11th of June, right? So we could get that Arms fighter next week!

That being said I legit hope they don't do the whole series first thing again.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

Wonder Woman is in the right spot, the rest are not.

I will give a hint as to what I watched first.

Spoiler: The hint

The primary character of my profile picture

Wizard of Oz, Goonies, Spirited Away, Pokemon, Dodgeball, Wonder Woman, Wallace and Gromit

 

[SneakyLink]

Wizard of Oz, Goonies, Spirited Away, Pokemon, Dodgeball, Wonder Woman, Wallace and Gromit

Close enough.

Goonies, Spirited Away, and W&G were the only ones not in position (I watched them 7th, 3rd, and 2nd respectively)

Isabelle is not a good example. She may not be as big as she is in Japan, but she still carries a lot of popularity in the west and even ignoring that Animal Crossing is a highly successful series that does well across the globe. She nor her series are anywhere near Mortal Kombat's struggles in Japan and they're nowhere near comparable.

And really, that's the big thing with Mortal Kombat. Unlike most of these examples (only Dark Samus is similar, and she's an Echo so she got in by being easier to add) it struggles in Japan whereas the others at least have some notable presence outside of their market. Dragon Quest for instance has sold a million at least for some of its entries including the recent Dragon Quest 11, Banjo actually did well in Japan and the original sold over 400K there, King of Fighters was a notable feature of arcades even if it wasn't quite to the level of Street Fighter, and so on and so forth. Mortal Kombat by comparison struggles to sell much in Japan and sometimes doesn't even get released there, with the most recent entry (XI) skipping it entirely. So Japan's lack of familiarity with it is a hurdle that it'd have to jump if it has any hope of getting a character in, and it should be kept in mind when talking about it.

Sure. It's a hurdle. But it's not a disqualifier.

No one's saying it is.


We're just saying to not count on it.

Late night post. Probably too tired to post with good judgement. But hot take.

As a fan of the golden age of animation, I can’t stand Hannah barbera. The studio came in on the tales end of it yet everyone insists we have to count them despite making their name primarily outside of it. If anything, they’re the ones who killed the golden age with their limited animation and their copy paste cartoons.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

But you’re posting it anyway...?

That’s the joke. Or at least my attempt at one.

I wish I could put a laugh track in my posts.

Stop right there.

You'd turn into the Big Bang Theory.

Call it bias because I took June 9th off of work (had nothing else to use my PTO for), but I wouldn't be surprised if we get an announcement on Monday for a reveal on Tuesday; not unlike Pokemon DLC news last week. The Pokemon Company isn't new to releasing news in advance of Directs (which we're probably not getting but you know what I mean). Granted anything could happen given everything that's been going on in the world.

If they get Sakurai on camera again I would fully expect it if they thought it was necessary for Byleth. I kind of hope they do personally, as I'm not the most well versed on ARMS/haven't played it.

Today I learned there is actually a genus of pterosaur named after the pokemon Aerodactyl, named Aerodactylus. It only has one known species though, this cute little guy, Aerodactylus scolopaciceps.

He was a really tiny boi though, about the size of a small bird.

I guess that's why they call it a pocket monster.

Anyway this has been your daily reminder that scientists are nerds.

It looks like it just learned to fly and so happy about it and now on its way to show off to its mother.

Yo friends!!! What happens when you take the DQ8 Hero, give him a Samus arm canon, Jet Jaguar's legs and a four on his shirt?

You get this cool fan art a Discord user known as Tipper made for me!!!

About to have lunch and then wait until It is time for me to go meet with my friends about an important topic.

Sometime in the next weeks I should go to the beach and take a bath!!

Because It is indeed really nice and warm recently.

Afternoon. I woke up grumpy.

Poor life choices being the reason.

If Classic Mode's level structure was reworked slightly in a hypothetical Special Edition, how would you react if this was the layout:

Round 1
Round 2
Round 3
Round 4
Bonus Game: either Brawl-style Target Test or Home-Run Contest
Round 5
Round 6
Round 7
Round 8
Round 9
Bonus Game: Race to the Finish
Final Round

Hero, Isabelle, Terry, Banjo, Chrom, Dark Samus, the Simon/Richter split.... need I go on?

???

You do realize Banjo is really popular in Japan right?

Where was this information during speculation? Why was I bombarded with “he’s a nothing in Japan” every day?

what do you mean by “whole series first thing”?

But if you’re right...... please be right.

 

[Megadoomer]

But if you’re right...... please be right.

I think they mean "the next fighter is... from [insert series/company here]!" Depending on the series or company, it could get rough, especially if it's another three-month-long guessing game.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

The sun is nice and warm today.

Meanwhile I get crappy weather again...Yay...

Where was this information during speculation? Why was I bombarded with “he’s a nothing in Japan” every day?

I recall plenty of Japanese gamers being excited for Banjo given YouTube reactions.

This as well.

Also as mentioned the first game sold very well there.

Yo. Harada retweeted my redraw of the Tekken 3 cover. So far, that, The MMX8 redraw and that one Shantae sketch are the most popular drawings I posted on Twitter. Building an audience is pretty hard though. But I'll keep working at it.

We move.

Well, finally finished this character's design. His name is Cyril but I just call him "Ew furry man"

I wanted to try something I hadn't really done before, so I tried experimenting with a completely diffirent vibe for this lad. Mainly based his appearence off of the character designs in A Hat in Time's Nyakuza Metro DLC since I like those designs and I wanted to do somethin' like that. In turn it makes him look a lot more edgy than his personality is and his personality is just 60% Peter B. Parker but eh.

I just heard that the new HBO Looney Tunes cartoons will not have any guns, including for Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam.

I was interested in giving this series a chance but this isn't helping at all.

From what I saw of it, it's a pretty nice series with mostly really good animation. Only the occasional puppet movement for the arms seems kind of weird.

I do find the gun thing a little lame though. But Western Cartoons for the longest time kind of backdashed away from them. Y'know like Laser guns. Unless it was a Gun PSA.

I wonder if it's due to how MK plays.

It's soo different feeling than most traditional 2D fighters.

I'd say it'd probably be more so the fact the heave amounts of altering the new MK games might need. I don't know if giving everyone green blood would be enough. Also, not every Western game does super well, it took Spider-Man PS4 to dethrone Crash 3 I think.

Now you need to make a parody dub of this with the character:

Jokes aside, really nice work friend!!!

Convinient that this all came out AFTER he got in, after months of him being bashed and being called a nothing.

 

[Knight Dude]

At least now, we know that Elmer Fudd is a Zasalamel main.

I have a strong feeling the Smash fighter will be shown off this week.

Releasing the same week and revealing the next fighter I'm iffy on.

 

[TheMightyP]

Imagine all this hype builded up, and we just got Springman. And only Springman.

I mean, I guess it would mean Assists aren't out of the running, but jeez...

If they don’t announce them next I hope they just announce the announcement. Or announce the announcement of the announcement.
