Yeah, I can definitely see that. Personally I actually think Raphael has less to go off of, which is kinda disappointing, honestly.

Like with Bernie her likes and dislikes rundown at least gives her some hidden depths with her hobbies. She's an avid reader and artist who likes to write and illustrate her own stories, she loves music and nature (especially weird creatures), and she knits and seemingly collects stuffed animals. Yeah they're all fairly standard introverted hobbies, but there's at least a fair bit to go off of there in terms of supports.

Meanwhile Raph's all relate to eating and training, outside of his love for his baby sister. Outside of the token "reveal how monsters killed his parents" support, there isn't much to go off of that doesn't rehash what Kris or Hana did...and they're already among the least interesting characters in the franchise.

It also doesn't help that Bernadetta has one of the most useful personal skills in the game while Raphael has one of the worst.

And it sucks because I WANT to love Raphael, but he's so seemingly one-note that it almost hurts. I'm hoping he at least gets entertaining dialogue with Ignatz.
I feel like Raphael's personal skill could make him into a pretty good tank with a good enough luck stat. Bernadetta definitely has a really good skill though, especially combined with her crest. I wish her proficiencies allowed her to be anything other than a bow knight though.

"Come and claim me, sweet death. But first, let this evening sun wash clean my imperfect soul." sounds like something from an Edgar Allan Poe book.

OK EA calm down
Your user name is ironic since I touched Wyoming a couple of weeks ago lmao


But I don't see what the problem is. Monthly pass for maybe 4 characters for 5.99 isn't bad. Or if you'd rather pull a CTR-NF and do the Grand Prix

My issue with Raphael's Goodie Basket skill is that it's a pretty negligible payoff. It's only a ten percent health regeneration that's dependent on his luck stat to even activate. If it was like, 30% health or so, I could see more of a use for it, but as of now it's too small a payout for potentially too rare of an activation rate.

True. It does seem like our units will have a lot of health in this game though, I think there was some fairly early game footage where Dmitri had 59 HP or something, so 10% might be a bit more significant. We'll have to see when the game comes out though.

Of course. After all our first impressions exist in an NDA-friendly vacuum, so there's only so much to go off of. :p

Mario Kart Roster?

Well, I would make sure every Smash character is in there, as well as the Bosses(Master Hand, Crazy Hand, Giant DK, Metal Mario, Giga Bowser, etc.), as well as include some other transformations like Super Sonic and Wario Man. I feel they all at this point deserve their spot. Not just because they're in Smash, but they're all awesome options and none should be ignored. Beyond that, Dixie Kong too.

Hard to say on what base should be, but I got a bit of an idea;

:ultmario::ultdk::ultyoshi::ultfox::ultpikachu::ultlink::ultsamus::ultkirby::ultluigi::ultness::ultjigglypuff::ultfalcon::ultpeach::ultdaisy::ultbowser::ultsheik::ultzelda::ulticeclimbers::ultpit::ultpokemontrainer::ultpokemontrainerf::ultlucas::ultmetaknight::ultkingdedede::ultike::ultolimar::ultwario::ultmiifighters::ultzss::ultvillager::ultwiifittrainer::ultwiifittrainerm::ultcorrin::ultcorrinf::ultrobin::ultrobinf::ultrosalina::ultlittlemac::ultinkling::ultinklingboy::ultridley:

Then the various Bosses, other Alts not shown here, and all the Unlockable characters in general from the Smash games not listed here. And Dixie Kong.

The DLC otherwise is going to be the 3rd Parties overall. Others I think would make excellent DLC, due to selling well and gathering attention is Isabelle, Ridley, King K. Rool, and Piranha Plant. Maybe Metal Mario could fit well in here too. Any other DLC characters we still have to come would fit here in this case(if 1st party, maybe the Unlockable roster. It really really depends who). Other thoughts are Isaac, Bandanna Waddle Dee, Shadow, Tingle, Impa, Midna, and many other really popular AT's/Spirits who aren't playable. Dixie is the main exception cause she was at one point intended to be in Smash, where most others aren't even confirmed for that much alone. If I were to push it, maybe a surprise appearance by James Bond and other characters considered who never made it in. But ehhhhhhhh, Dixie feels like enough. The roster is already huge for a racing game anyway.

I'm unsure the best way to do Pokemon Trainer here. Just the Trainer, or each one separately as well.

So the next update for the Switch version of Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled will decrease the loading times.

Good because right now they're TERRIBLE!

How about a crossover mascot racer where rather then a playable character, Charizard is a vehicle?

I wanna play as Ike riding a Charizard against a Pit riding the 5th divine beast.

So should Samus, Dark Samus, or Zero Suit Samus use Ridley as the vehicle?

I’m not exactly sure what this means. lol
Art students ****ing live for depression and suicide jokes. I took a couple art classes and it was definitely a theme.

God I miss those people. That was probably the only time I’ve had positive social interaction in my life.

That’s nice.

To clarify, the last sentence.

Also some of you have never been around first year art students and my god does it show. :V
Once a spent a semester with aspiring poets in Greenwich Village, most of whom came equipped only with a pen, notepad, Sylvia Plath book, lighter and rolling papers.

And that FE character would still make them shudder.

The Golden Deer doesn't exactly have a meme monopoly though. :V

oh god I forgot about her

I'd call her waifu bait, but if her "likes and dislikes" section is anything to go by she might actually get some depth beyond "the outside is scary and I wish for death aren't I quirky" thing she has going on now.

I've found this stereotype very true online but not very much offline. I dunno, guess people are better at hiding it or something.

In fairness I knew some fairly...strange, let's say, people in college, so that likely impacted it a bit. :p

I got tons of ideas


Starting Roster

:ultmario::ultluigi::ultpeach::ultdk::ultyoshi::ultsamus::ultlink::ultzelda::ultinkling::ultfox::ultduckhunt::ultpokemontrainer::ultpikachu::ultcharizard::ultlittlemac::ultpit::ultness::ultkirby::ultmarth::ultisabelle:


Unlockable Roster

:ultbowser::ultbowserjr::ultludwig::ultlemmy::ultmorton::ultiggy::ultwendy::ultroy2::ultlarry::ultdaisy::ultrosalina::ultkrool::ultridley::ultdarksamus::ultganondorf::ultsheik::ultinklingboy::ultfalco::ultwolf::ultincineroar::ultmewtwo::ultgreninja::ultlucario::ultivysaur::ultsquirtle::ultpichu::ultpokemontrainerf::ultpalutena::ultdarkpit::ultlucas::ultkingdedede::ultmetaknight::ultroy::ultchrom::ultlucina::ultike::ultrobin::ultcorrinf::ultken::ultbayonetta::ultbanjokazooie::ultpacman::ultsonic::ultsnake::ultrichter::ultryu::ultsimon::ultmegaman::ultjoker::ulthero::ultcloud::ultolimar::ultalph::ulticeclimbers::ultwiifittrainer::ultrob::ultvillager::ultvillagerf:


...that's all I got from the Smash roster alone. But we'll see what and how I can make items become mind-blowing
So I reviewed your roster to find out who's missing, and you're lacking some pretty damn essential characters. You're missing

:ultdoc::ultpiranha::ultdiddy::ultyounglink::ulttoonlink::ultzss::ultjigglypuff::ultfalcon::ultgnw::ultwario::ultshulk::ultmiifighters:

Honestly, Dr. Mario, Zero Suit Samus, and the alt-Links can probably go or be condensed into costumes. And I would rather have Captain Falcon, Shulk, Game & Watch, Diddy Kong, and Wario over the Koopalings. And Miis... well, they're even in normal Mario Kart.

If anyone wants a good laugh, here's a conversation I just had with someone who tried (and failed miserably) to steal my Steam account.

The Miis were absolutely in Mario Kart.

Imagine if a Smash Kart happens and people get mad at Nintendo for stealing the idea of a company wide racing game concept from SEGA...
Did people get mad when Mario Kart 8 stole the anti gravity from Crash Nitro Kart?

If not, then I doubt they would get mad with this either.

I mean from what I heard, Nitro Kart wasn’t that well remembered or that great of a game so I don’t think anyone minded when they did that concept better.

Wasnt the antigravity stuff from Mario Kart 8 based on F-Zero?

Personally I want Mario Kart to stay separate from a potential Smash Kart or at least have one last solo Mario Kart before making that jump. At the very least I wanna see Mario Kart have a better selection of characters from their series before the crossover aspect gets hyped up.

I didn't play Nitro Kart but it must've meant something if all of its tracks, arenas, and characters made into the Crash Team Racing remake.

Yeah, Nitro Kart was a decent game.

Also had some liked characters in the series such as Velo or N.Trance.

Stop nitpicking. I'm so tired from even not thinking about school right now that I keep forgetting people okay?


If I were to remove anyone from that roster, Doc, Links, Samus, and Puff

I guess they didn’t wanna waste any effort or resources on fully remaking that game as well.
There are rumours about Beenox working on Nitro Fueled DLC involving a Nitro Kart Adventure Mode.

But I don’t know how reliable these rumours are.
