Like everyone else said, 4 out of every Smash game has pretty much become the black sheep of the franchise now.

1. Everything new in modes and mechanics that 4 has brought, Ultimate already does now and even better.

2. The Base Roster was underwhelming. While there were some good hits like Shulk, Mega Man and Pac-Man. It still wasn't that good IMO. And then you had characters that people loved that were cut like Lucas, Snake, Wolf etc. DLC did fix this a bit with bringing back some vets but Ultimate brought everyone back.

3. The fourth game in general was too focused on the current Product Placement side of Nintendo's products. It felt more advertisey compared to the other games. I mean Lucas and Wolf got low priority because they didn't have a new game out at the time. And most of the new stages were from the newest consoles. Ultimate instead balances this with bringing ballot based characters and more casual friendly characters here as well bringing everyone back. Ultimate definitely was hitting the mark of being a celebration of the series.

4. Bayonetta's and Cloud's addition pretty much broke the balance of 4. And the final overall tournament of this game pretty much sullied 4's reputation at this point.

To clear up a few things.

1. The 4chan post about Alois and Gilbert is 100% fake, like it's not even a question. They wouldn't bait and switch an S Support when you only get one and can't back out of it once you've made it lol.

2. The reviewer in question just liked Fates (minus Revelation) is all. Meanwhile the Engadget review praised Three Houses's story and thanibomb compared it favorably to Genealogy, giving Genealogy a 10/10, Three Houses a 9/10, and Fates a 2/10 as far as story. Odds are it's not gonna be another Fates, guys.

Seriously though, the cat is out of the bag by this point. Who do they think they're fooling?

The other 3 games in that trailer all either release or update this month, and if it was just their blanket "summer" ad, where's **** like Astral chain?

Hero is coming very soon, next week if I had to bet.

Also the reviewer confirmed male dancers can be a thing, but Byleth themselves can't be (which makes sense).

My guess for Hero's Classic Mode before he releases

A Fighter Draws Near!

Theme: Hero fights characters that look monstrous in a way.

Stage 1: Kirby

Stage 2: Bowser

Stage 3: Wolf

Stage 4: King K. Rool

Stage 5: Koopaling Horde Battle

Stage 6: Ridley

Boss: Rathalos. A reference to Dragon Lord, the 1st and most iconic villain of Dragon Quest.

I’m still wondering what Banjo’s classic mode will be, duos were already done.

Maybe characters with big roles on the N64?

Here’s how I imagine that idea:
Banjo-Kazooie: Change the System!
Theme: Going through the legacy of the Nintendo 64

Stage 1: :ultmario:, :ultpeach: & :ultbowser: on Princess Peach’s Castle
Stage 2: :ultfox:, :ultfalco: & :ultwolf: on Venom
Stage 3: :ultyoshi: on Yoshi’s Story
Stage 4: :ultfalcon: on Big Blue
Stage 5: :ultpikachu:, :ultmewtwo: & :ultpokemontrainer: on Pokémon Stadium
Stage 6: :ultdk:, :ultdiddy: & :ultkrool: on Jungle Japes

Boss: Beast Ganon

So this is the power...of Nintendo marketing?

I didn’t mind the whole, “Here’s an answer that I want to fight for!” rather than siding with either family that Revelations brought in Fates. I think Fates suffered from more than the “unrealistic nature” of Revelations.

With Three Houses, I think that having a storyline in which the three separate houses join forces would work if it’s done well. I kind of expecting it to happen, mainly with the fact that the house leaders are so likable at this point.

I also think the theme of characters/people coming together for the greater good despite their beliefs is cool, but it absolutely needs to be done well. It can’t just be that characters who have deep hatred against each other suddenly team up. It needs to be given time to develop. Let’s hope Three Houses does that!

All right. Just for fun. I want to put together a rediculously huge smash roster. I’ll put together a mock select screen in photoshop. I’m taking requests so let me know who you want to see join. Remember, realism is thrown out the window so request away!

Time for me to bust out that favorite Fire Emblem character list.

I think the main complaint that people have about these "Golden Routes" is that it feels like they invalidate the initial choice or make the other routes feel non canon. Especially in Fates it makes choosing anything else feel like the "wrong" decision. Personally, I don't particularly mind it, but I would rather they avoid that sort of situation.

You can also use Dracula since he has a Human and a Dragon form. Dracula's Dragon form is also a bit closer to Dragonlord's design.

Tingle, Brian(Quest 64), Isaac(Golden Sun), all veterans(if that wasn't already already your plan), Shadow(Sonic The Hedgehog), Agumon(Digimon).

There's tons, but those all are ones I'd love to see.

  • Link, Young Link, Sheik, Zelda, and Ganondorf (Ocarina of Time)
  • Fox, Falco, and Wolf (Star Fox 64)
  • Pokemon Trainer, Pikachu, Pichu and Mewtwo (Pokemon Stadium games)
  • Kirby, Yoshi, and Captain Falcon (Various games)
  • Banjo, DK, Diddy, and K Rool (All the Rare characters)
  • Master Hand (Fight is set to the N64 Final Destination music)

Man, this change of work schedule this week has made my sleeping schedule out of whack.

Thankfully my work schedule is back to normal so hopefully things will get fixed.
