Some of y'all need to learn what a joke is lol.

Fairly certain Shish is parodying the "Piranha Plant is a Wario echo" doohickery.

Ike’s neutral air, Ike/Ganon’s forward smash and apparently Ken’s up air

KEN? Didn’t see that one coming.

Honestly, is it sad that the first thing I noticed about his gameplay is how many moves from other fighters he uses? Literally one of the first things I noticed.

I think I'm gonna be less active on the internet for a while.

I just got a deep depression regarding how life has trashed me since I was born... And I don't feel strong enough to be online.

Good luck, man. If you wanna talk, shoot me a PM.

Yeah, I'm not sure if to take the comparisons seriously, but...

The neutral B's aren't the same. Kazooie can rapid fire the eggs, move when firing, and doesn't suck in characters to spit them out. No similarities, and the egg mechanics fit the characters perfectly. More closely resembles Mega Man, just a special rather than an attack.

The side B's Wonderwing, which in Smash is a charge attack with possible super armor--no similarities to throwing a crown. This is perhaps the move with the most artistic license, but if anything, it's better than in the games, outside of the lower inventory of gold feathers (which is reasonable, otherwise it would be overpowered--probably still is).

And while there's a vague resemblance with both Diddy and Banjo & Kazooie having an item as their down B, a grenade is very different from a banana.

I say this as someone who is not into competitive Smash, and doesn't look too deep into the moves (so, I've probably gotten something wrong). The only comparisons I've seen that make sense is Banjo & Kazooie's down tilt and back air being similar to Duck Hunt's--but Duck Hunt always seemed like it derived stuff from Banjo & Kazooie, so I can see how there would invariably be some similarities. Even saying derivative, rather than an echo, I find Banjo & Kazooie to be more similar to Duck Hunt, Mega Man and Sonic, than King K Rool. Regardless, I feel like the moves have been faithfully adapted into Smash, as I always thought their moves fit Smash with little changes necessary.

What do you mean? This is Smashboards dot com. No one ever jokes. Anyone who dares to try learns their lesson.

They said Banjonetta wasn’t real, but I knew the truth...

 

[Iridium]

So far Hero has Link’s jumping slash, TL’s back aerial and the shield gimmick so it’s not a totally unfair comparison so far.

Probably wouldn't say TL's b-air. Hero turning around right after using it resembles Marth more. And the animation reminds me of Joker more anyway.

 

[RandomAce]

Tbh, although Hero’s moves do look similar to other fighters at a glance when watching their reveal, they’re a bit more different than you might think.

At most I see, Marth’s Up Smash, Link’s Dash Attack, Link’s Shield, Ike’s Neutral Air, and Joker’s Back Air? (Reminded of me of Joker and Toon Link)

But aside from that, Hero’s attacks are pretty different for the most part, and even the moves I mentioned have drastically different animations.

 

[Wademan94]

I’d say it’s like a combination of both moves.

I thought that was the secret fighter pass character, Gruntilda?

Actually, no, I don't want to see Gruntilda with Bayo's proportions...

If you ever need to talk, or just a shoulder to cry on. My dms are open. I can’t even count the amount of times other users have done this for me.

I hate to see you go through this, if you ever need to talk or just need someone to listen, my DMs are open here and on Discord too. I hope you’ll be able to work things out soon.

If Nintendo made a “Super Smash Kart” do you think they should prioritize getting every franchise and character from Ultimate’s roster into the roster (even if it means reused assets), or would you prefer a kart racer with a smaller roster and a few additions who wouldn’t work as fighters? Could some characters be condensed into the same slot as costumes?

Agreed. Now I just wish I could actually do the stuff I wanted in the 3D World style that I can't because of version exclusive features.

Also, I've always argued that 3D World is underrated. People look at it compared to the 3D titles, and was disappointed it wasn't Galaxy 3, but it has far more in common with the 2D titles--linear gameplay, flagpole ending, power-ups more similar to the 2D games. Granted Galaxy also blurred those lines, but I feel it is uncontroversial as a 3D title. And compared to the New Super Mario Bros games, 3D World is a much better reflection of carrying the torch of the more old school titles. Particularly that while it did have traditionally themed worlds, most of the levels took on new and unique themes.

I'd say it's my favorite Mario game since Super Mario 64, and much more fun than Odyssey--it had almost everything I wanted, and so much more I didn't expect. Although, I'm a different case than most because I never played 3D Land, didn't own a 3DS, so more stuff in it felt novel than it would have otherwise. I was disappointed when 3D Land was only for the 3DS, as it looked like it could be a really cool console game, and so 3D World's announcement was a wish came true.

Now they just need to port it or announce the sequel--I can't tell you how infuriated I was when Captain Toad and New Super Mario Bros U got the ports. They've ported/sequelized almost every Wii U title, and that one feels like the odd one out.

 

[Deleted member]

Friendly reminder Toad’s canonically use the restroom.

 

[Deleted member]

If you think about it every character is a Captain Falcon echo cause he's directly based off the moveset of those Dragon King guys who are the origin for every single character in Smash. Sakurai's such a lazy dev smh.

considering the fact I dont want a super smash kart, id rather not have it at all

 

[Wademan94]

Imagine if the Music effects from other Mario games changed depending on the theme.
Like putting the N64 one on the underwater changes the music to Dire Dire Docks or putting Wii on the Ground theme changes it to Good Egg Galaxy.

Everyone seems to hate GameFreak for this, but let’s be real, they probably had a good reason for this. I mean, that’s a lot of Pokemon to code in, and a lot of memory your using by adding literally every Pokemon ever.

 

[Z25]

Got mario maker 2 digitally today! Had some Eshop credit from last time and use my gold points to cut the tax off. So I managed to get the 12 year bundle to.

Now I have 15 more months of online which is nice. Can’t wait to get building. Will share when I have something good

Of course there's a good reason.

Have a pokemon home subscription that you can't even make full use of until a game that has the mons you want to transfer comes out. Its 100 percent a money based reason.

 

[Deleted member]

"We hear you, but we're not going to do anything."

At this point they can...

1. Keep the game as it is.
2. Add the rest of the Pokemon, which would delay the game by a year at minimum, maybe more. Fans would be split either way.

 

[Guynamednelson]

That would only be the case if they had new models instead of the 3DS ones. And in the case of the 3DS, those games' filesize is thanks to tons of redundant models for NPCs rather than hundreds of Pokemon.

 

[Mythra]

That's the most smart idea

They would need new models. The 3DS models are to low poly, and the textures are to low quality for the Switch.

It is most likely a memory reason, and I’m sure the amount of time it takes to code that was factored in as well. By doing this, they’re using far less memory, so you can have room for other games on your Switch and whatnot.

The 3ds models are the same damn models, just given a higher resolution.

To do that they would have to re-topologize the models, which therefore makes them entirely new models in the eyes of the game engine.

They've been doing it since gen5, and gen8 doesn't look at good compared to 7. Ya I'm not buying it.
