what part of "fighting game" is lost to you man

Mai Shiranui
Morrigan Aensland
Nakoruru

Whelp comes down to these three then.

Can't decide. Team Morrigan or Team Nakoruru?

 

[Aurane]

Why quit now? There's so many things that need to be put off.

and ignored my entire list i gave him smh

 

[Shroob]

Yeah man like,

Hero's cool and all

And Banjo's a bro


But can September get here asap so we can know character 4?

 

[Deleted member]

Nah, you are all good.

 

[Wyoming]

I see no way Morrigan gets picked over RE, Phoenix, or even Amaterasu. That seems to be a blindside pick.

If the female fighting game character is true I expect it to be another's company property.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

So given the Season Pass so far. How would you guys rate it?

The fact it has Banjo makes it 10+/10 for me. I wouldn't care less about the others or whoever the last two are.

 

[Iridium]

DQXI S releases in September so...

I'll miss you mate.

Nice knowing you, lad. I win, or I win and lose.

I would legit be more than okay with Birdo being playable. The girl needs more spotlight.

Also Skelebros take priority over Frisk. If we ever got an Undertale newcomer it, let it be Sans or Paoyrus. That is obligatory.

How long would it take before some people call Birdo a shameless clone of Yoshi?

Who do you think it would be?

I'd be intrigued if it were Nakoruru given the unique moveset and representation she could deliver.

Joker: Surprise/10. Didn't see it coming but it's somewhat obvious in hindsight with how much Sakurai took inspiration from P5's menu designs.

Hero: About damn time/10. We knew they were coming for 6 goddamn months. I'm just glad they finally came.

Banjo: Guh-huh/10

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

It would take a grand total of however many milliseconds for people it takes to be disappointed with her reveal trailer to begin with.

well, duh

nintendo's only got 1 real fighting game and unless its from ARMS or a smash original its obviously gonna be someone else

 

[King Sonnn DeDeDoo]

So I found this interesting image on r/Nintendo that visualizes the different Nintendo development teams.

interested to see what EPD 7,8, and 9 have in store for us.

 

[SneakyLink]

well, duh

Calling it now...

Fighting Wire Frame joins the battle!

 

[Wyoming]

uh...what? When did I ever mention Nintendo?

 

[EricTheGamerman]

Well, that's your decision to make. If those 109 Pokemon aren't worth the purchase, don't buy it.

Regardless, Game Freak can't keep this up forever. Even if they could've added every Pokemon in this game, that doesn't change anything in the future. Sooner or later, fans will have to say goodbye to a few of their favorite Pokemon, and maybe Game Freak wanted to make that transition now to soften the blow later on.

I know I keep saying this, but fans are getting way too worked up over this. More importantly, I feel like they're antagonizing Game Freak to a point to where it's considered unappreciateive and downright hateful. Work on a Pokemon game yourself and see how easy it is.

Again, I'd be more willing to forgive Game Freak if they weren't going to lazily do everything else like always. They'll probably get what, another 4-5 Pokemon games out on Switch before they move on to whatever the next console will be assuming we get one every year like we have for the past decade? And they're more than likely not going to change the models while they remain on the same system? And from the sound of things, they're removing a whole bunch of stuff people like and the only really new mechanic seen is the Dynamax feature that has gone over pretty poorly.

They could have put in the extra effort and spent more time, making sure all previous Pokemon were available for the first mainline console entry. Then you'd only have to do minimal work on the Pokemon going forward. Just port them all over to the next entry because, again, Game Freak doesn't put in a ton of effort with these sorts of things anyway.

I'm fine with the idea if there is an actual trade-off that makes the games better. Stripping the franchise down of Pokemon and features needs to have some visible effect elsewhere in the game. And that's my personal biggest issue with Sw/Sh. I'm fine with us moving on from every Pokemon all the time, but it can't just be that they were unprepared for development on Switch and the entire franchise suffers the consequences of rushed development. There has got to be something more than what we saw at E3 to make up for that fact. It's like these Pokemon games have managed to do nothing of note or interest that has gone over well with the audience except for the overworld changing, and even that is hamstrung by the clear lack of polish in the graphics and environments. I'm down for the games if they shape up in the next 4 months... but I'm not counting on it.

the fact that you didnt mention nintendo was the point

they don't have one, so it's less expectation and more "no ****"

 

[Noipoi]

Nah, you are all good.

I’m actually kinda not

I was so sure that’d I’d be somewhere far better at age 17 when I was younger, I was so sure that success would just fall into my lap. But it doesn’t work like that, it doesn’t just happen. You gotta make it happen.

I’m gonna make it happen

What sort of success are you looking for?

I was talking about Morrigan: who is owned by Capcom.

I was ruling out Capcom having the female fighting game character, thus it would have to be another company's property.

Don't get me wrong, I love Phoenix Wright as much as the next guy, but the only thing that Capcom has standing in her way in Resident Evil, let's be honest. Morrigan is just that character Capcom slaps into pretty much everything, unlike characters like Ammy or Wright who got cut.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

also the guy later said "like a fighting game character" so it could be a female character from another genre that fights as if she were in a fighting game

 

[Noipoi]

What sort of success are you looking for?

A stronger social life

A job

Getting closer to achieving my ultimate goal

Conquering my fear of leaving the goddamn house (thanks for that dad)

Gettin ready for college

A girlfriend maybe?

A life. I want a life

You're right the developers have just been sitting up in HQ twiddling their thumbs this entire time. Not like they've been making their first HD world or anything.

Criticize the game all you want but I'm kind of tired of this "GF is lazy narrative". If they're doing something wrong, it's probably resource management issue, not a "they're lazy" issue.

But we're all angry with them so lazy is the word we wanna stick to.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

So given the Season Pass so far. How would you guys rate it?

The fact it has Banjo makes it 10+/10 for me. I wouldn't care less about the others or whoever the last two are.

9/10

Banjo and Kazooie are awesome, but I really don't know much about Joker or The Hero and really don't care about the latter much at all.

The sheer amount of discussions pertaining to Erdrick and how guaranteed he was didn't help generate hype for me.

 

[SneakyLink]

Just now, I had a dream in which Uncle amiibo became our last DLC fighter.

His entire moveset requires amiibo scans. And he instantly wins against amiibo.

 

[BlueMonk]

I feel like you're a lot like me. I'm waiting until I get to college to just sort of start over. But good on you for taking initiative.

Joker’s aight

Hero’s okay

Banjo Kazooie is ten outta ten hundred outta hundred

 

[Shroob]

I can't be the only one who still feels more comfortable calling him Erdrick, right?

I mean, technically it's not 'wrong' either.



Calling a character by name for 6 months in a row, it's hard to break that habit.

I call him hero because he makes me think of shrek 2

 

[Shroob]

I guess when he drops, and the servers break.

We'll be holding out for The Hero 'til the end of the night.

Eh Wright still gets in a few gigs. Project X Zone 2 he was in, got a crossover with Layton, was a newcomer in Puzzle Fighter, appeared in Monster Hunter, etc. Mahvel is not a fair stick to beat him with.

Interestingly Amaterasu never seems to be involved in these, despite other Kamiya properties being there. Kind of sucks..

Oh dang, my apologies.
I hope you make it happen.

 

[Strong Badam]

Banjo & Kazooie alone makes the fighter pass 10/10 for me. On top of that, Joker is incredible, and Hero is such an iconic video game character as well. I can't wait to see what the last two additions are.

Don't get it wrong.

I'd rather Wright over Morrigan myself, but


If it came out as

"Okay Capcom's getting a 4th character and it's not from Resident Evil", my finger's instantly pointing at Morrigan. She's in literally everything despite Darkstalkers being dead.

Pretty much you can call him whatever you want, its something common with DQ.

 

[ZephyrZ]

I'm starting to get cranky again.

I'm gonna log out and just lurk for a little bit. I'm not sure how much more of the Pokemon controversy I can take right now, and it's bleeds into this thread hard sometimes.

Don't know when I'll decide to log back in.

She's in the crossover games that Capcom themselves make, but there's no real reason why Sakurai would choose her over other heavy hitters.

 

[SneakyLink]

I personally call the hero “not the princess of moonbrooke”.

Because I secretly wanted to see her join the battle.
