Get over it, dude. You're honestly making me want to sell my StarFox games with your childish hatred. :|
What are you talking about Fox news is a bad source have you ever see seen some of their articles on video games. Like the one about Mass Effect having a full nude sex scene or all the bullcrap they say video games do to you. Im not complaining for once geez. Im just telling you Fox News is terrible, they are one of the most biased news sources out there. If you dont believe me just do the online research and you will find how bad of a source they are.
I'm talking about Fox Weekly, not Fox News. I do not know if they're the same source.
derp my mistake. When I think Fox and news source my mind instantly goes fox news and instantly goes to poor credibility.
Whose doesn't? XD
No, I didn't say nor imply that. Read my quote again.
The "it" means game. I was indicating this because it seems like Sakurai has taken the series as far as he can take it. I also get the feel this is the last Smash game he wants to make. The "feel" of this game is Sakurai's swan song as the series director.
I never said or implied this. I did, however, say that Sakurai's poor decision making (Brawl being a single-player first game when multiplayer gaming was booming, Brawl being made to be anti-competitive on purpose, Sakurai's clear dislike for the competitive scene [especially Melee], and Smash 4 having this dumb 2 version gimmick) say that we should get a new director.Characters getting cut might suck for some of us, but that doesn't mean the current director of smash shouldn't return to make another smash bros game a few years down the road!
If that's the case (which I doubt), Nintendo is really playing with fire, and they're gonna get burned. You can't hate on 3rd parties if you have a console. They are what make you are break you, and right now, Nintendo isn't properly catering to them, which is making them break them. It's Nintendo's own fault. Their "selling" of their home console brands have been inferior to the competition's since 1996. It's just that simple.
Or because he insulted the Melee competitive community, made Brawl to be an anti-competitive game, made Brawl's development all about content and single-player instead of the multiplayer, Brawl has so many giant deficiencies (namely balance and insane amount of super long inescapable chain grabs), went total dictator during Brawl's development, refused to keep or work with HAL (the developer of 64 and Melee) around for Brawl and Smash 4, and that Sakurai fired people on the Smash 4 development team for refusing to make the SSE 2 (which was still in the process of being theorized until the Bamco staff said "no").But of course it's easier to blame Sakurai for everything because he's such a Lovecraftian horror bent on terrorizing the fans.
No they don't. They need to just grow up and move on.
No ridley should have been in brawl, they have every right to complain. They are a consistently ignored fanbase that is large and has put up with being ignored for a long time.
Assuming he's definitely not playable. Which is probably the case, anyway.
which assumers? the ones who think he's out or the ones who think he's in.
The ones who think he's nothing more than a stage hazard. Until we get that confirmed, it's nothing more than an assumption. He did not state that was in his role. I'm not even sure he meant to imply that either. I think by now he would've let us know. Of course he could be just that and the speculation crew were wrong about him having another role. Nobody knows.
Well assuming the rosters between WiiU and 3DS are staying the same as has been said in the past, I think Ridley will just be an assist trophy on the WiiU or possibly a stage hazard. Apart from a possible future DLC all the evidence we have now says he's will not be a PC.
>Competitive fans want a game that has lots of depth.Yet several of the newcomers in both Brawl and this game were chosen due to fan demand.
Truly, he's apathetic towards the fans...
The fact we have no credible source or official reason why makes speculation fair. But yeah, being a one-time offer is completely reasonable here.
This is so inaccurate it hurts, lol. Miis, Pac-Man and Robin were easily 3 of the top 10 most wanted characters. Same with Shulk. Robin vs. Chrom was similar to Wolf vs. Krystal, where Wolf was more popular, only Krystal's fanbase was much more... "vocal". Plus Chrom was in general more expected than wanted (again, like Krystal in Brawl). People generally were more favorable towards Robin. Heck, Lucina was also somewhere in the top 20 as well.
I thought the reason given for no lords of the shadows 2 was because of a lack of resources. In later interview the developers stated when asked about a wii u version that they wouldn't rule it out.Nintendo: Don't even think about requesting any characters from Konami.
Sakurai: Wait, why?
Nintendo: Just don't.
[2012]
Konami Community Manager: We currently have no plans to bring over Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 to Wii U.
Journalist: Why is that?
KCM: Well, all I can basically say is that the heads at Konami don't think it is profitable supporting Nintendo consoles. They weren't happy with sales on Wii and DS. We're proud of Castlevania- Mirror of Fate on 3DS releasing later this year but other than that we have no future plans on bringing titles to Nintendo's platforms.
Journalist: What about Yu-Gi-Oh! and Love Plus?
KCM: Love Plus is releasing on 3DS in Japan.
*Not exact quotes but you all should get the idea*.
Konami really wasn't one to partner up and collaborate with Nintendo as much as Namco, Capcom and Sega. Besides the Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix and other small partnerships. It is sad.
And I miss the old risky Konami. Elebits was a great game on Wii. But it looks like Konami is acting like EA Games-lite releasing Sports titles and other small projects with MGS and Castlevania thrown in there. Where is Goemon? Freaking Bomberman? Like seriously, they screwed Hudson Soft over by purchasing them in 2011 and then shortly after closing down their doors and canceling several projects for 3DS.
I have to stop thinking about Bomberman...
-Villager was not top 5 lol. Tom Nook was way more popular in terms of an AC rep. Top 5 was Mewtwo, Mega Man, Ridley, K. Rool and Little Mac. Chrom, Shulk, Issac, Roy and Palutena were somewhere behind those guys. No Villager seen there.
Wrong. Terribly wrong. In Japan Male!Robin placed 2nd place as most popular male and Female!Robin placed 3rd (beaten by Tharja, but taking into consideration most of the votes were from a male audience).
Villager was more requested than Tom Nook. Most reasonable people figured we'd get the Villager before Tom Nook, which had a big impact. Plus Villager is literally the playable character and central character, so it made more sense the Villager got in. After all, we got Mario before Peach, and Link before Zelda.
Listen, I love Isaac as much as anybody, and I've wanted Isaac in smash for over a decade, and he was my 5th most wanted potential newcomer (behind Mega Man, Ridley, K. Rool, and Little Mac in that order), but he wasn't top 5. Not even close. I think he was top 20, but not top 5 and almost definitely not top 10. He might be a top 5 requested newcomer now, though, with roughly half of the top 5 potential newcomers confirmed.
Nope. They were clearly easy to design, borrowed a lot of moves from a lot of characters, and they function perfectly into the roster. I wouldn't be surprised if all 3 Mii Fighters combined took less time to craft than Palutena.
You can use them online. It's called "With Friends". You just can't use them "With Anyone", which is the less important online mode.
Toad fans may be loud, but they are very, very small in number. Very small. Waluigi has more fans than Toad. However, to be fair, Waluigi's fan base is bigger than people think though. They are both a persistent bunch, which most of the time I find to be admirable.
The SWF thread for Robin before his confirmation had more posts than any potential newcomer (or veteran) thread than any character not named Ridley or K. Rool (and it wasn't far behind K. Rool). It also had a longer list of supporters than the Chrom thread. Every site I visited in relations to Smash Bros. that I researched this on had the same results.
People have the right to complain about whatever they like, and we should respect that right by not insulting them. Besides, complaining in a reasonable manner to start getting things done.
It's fine to get it out. It's not fine to not stop complaining(when over 100 posts are whining, it did go too far), derailing threads, and flame people. This is the issue we're having. After a while, yes, it should stop. I am not a fan of some changes/cuts either. But I already let out my grievances for it a long time ago. I just made sure to stop to avoid flame wars.People have the right to complain about whatever they like, and we should respect that right by not insulting them. Besides, complaining in a reasonable manner to start getting things done.
What started the movement that lead to American Independence? Complaining (mostly about taxes).
What helped end The Cold War? Everyone complaining to the politicians about how dumb it was.
What helped got *insert popular character here* in Smash Bros? Complaining. Top dogs in the Smash development team noticed fans were complaining *insert popular character* wasn't playable in a Smash game yet, so that gave them an easy ride to being considered, and they were probably easily added.
"When you playThe Game of ThronesSmash Bros newcomers addition game with popular characters youwincomplain loud enough the developers add your favorite character or die. There is no middle ground."
I mostly agree. I mean, if your complaint is just solid reasoning and good deduction skills (like "the potential for *insert character* as this kind of character is incredible. Just look at these, these, and these ideas for aerials to show how great they'd be in the air), then that's fine. But man, people who just go on and on and on are annoying.
about how much they hate it is just "why?"The thing is, if they exposed themselves, they would be fired, and lose their spot in the industry most likely.
So does that bring up their credibility or lower it?
That would never work.
That I do not know. The idea of an anonymous source means, that even if this is real, it's worth being skeptical since it's too hard to prove.
Yeah, I've come to accept that he is gone, but I am skeptical of this as well. I mean sure, he might get in trouble for saying who he is, but the lack of details around how they got the story and how they verified the source. They probably wouldn't need to verify them if fox weekly contacted them rather than the source contacting fox weekly.
It's probably Nintendo refusing to let him comment if anything(on why he was cut, it does seem weird. Kojima at least said he was never contacted, though). Or DLC. I'd say both are completely logical reasons.
I don't think he said he was never contacted. He said he doesn't know since he isn't working on smash, and said it's not likely. Then makes a request to sakurai to use snake. It seemed kinda vague and didn't really help prove that he was cut or he was in. The "I don't know" part seemed suspicious to me. It's also interesting to note someone on the stream claimed that someone asked Kojima at comi con about snake and he rolled his eyes and shook his head. I don't know how to interpret this, but it sounds like he was pissed. I don't know if this was said in the video or in the chat. Maybe it was because many people were asking him about snake in smash or he was pissed that snake didn't get in.
Well, he'd be under contract not to say his fate. But yeah, he probably knew of the cut but had to keep his cool overall. Who knows.
