Oh man, so I have you to thank for my big Smash Ultimate want (Simon) getting in! Haha. Hopefully this works again for DQ and eventually Marina.
well i voted for him in the ballot so that does help and on the DQ front I just wanted everyone that wants Goku to be quiet so what a better choice then someone in the DB style but on the Marina Front my luck only works on Old School characters weirdly so Simon Little Mac Megaman werid seeing i didn't grow up in the 80s and have no ties to anyone from the NES lol

I'm not gonna lie: i'm kinda dissapointed it's not Slime and i'll be kinda let down if they don't use Erdrick's modern design (the one with brown hair). I don't know why, but i like Eight more than Erdrick, despite me never playing DQ8 and only a portion of DQ3 like 2 years ago.

So yeah, congrats DQ fans!

Erdrick took pleasure in giving the idea that he did something wild that could have destroyed everything. Why should anyone allow this history of recklessness? But it gets a pass because Sakurai said so.
Characters like Erdrick are extremely dangerous.

What are you trying to say my guy. It’s highly unlikely Bird Studio would have any problems in the first place, but even if they did and the scenario you propos ehappens, the competitive community would likely just come to an agreement to ban Erdrick. See brawl MK. The backlash would likely also cause bird studio to stop being strict too.
If DBZ Fighterz is running into problems; what makes you think Smash won't?

Pretty sure I explained that my absolute lad. Shueisha is likely who’s causing problems for DBFZ, shueihsa has no involvement in DQ, so Smash probably won’t run into problems.

I'm within my rights to dislike, and down right hate Dragon Quest. I'm sure some Anti- Geno's have attempted to pass off unbiased arguments too.
It's fine to dislike DQ, but at this point you're just pulling stuff out of your ass in an attempt to discredit it.

Like, I'm sorry about Geno, but you really need to get a grip.

Well if it does cause problems, I have an idea. Why don’t we all collectively pool money together, and buy the Dragon Quest IP from Square? I can give a dollar to start.

Isn't the idea to be above that though? IN some regards you're acting even worse.

You are resorting to fear-mongering without even fact-checking, all for the assumption that Nintendo would land themselves in checkmate on the competitive scene, despite the fact that even if it was as bad as you suggest, they've dealt with these situations before anyway.

It may seem like ass pulling cause the tourney stuff genuinely confuses me. I have no idea how this **** works. I'm just going off of what I've heard from others.

You're allowed to dislike DQ (I'm neutral on the series overall).

But if you're going to make arguments against it constantly, especially ones with very little supporting them, you're gonna annoy DQ fans and even non-DQ fans, like myself.

I suggest playing Dragon Quest 5 or 8 and try to overcome that hate over the first impression of the character and the series. I used to be the same way with Simon and Castlevania, but then I came around once I actually took the time to play Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night. I love Castlevania as a series now and glad that Simon made it into Smash Bros.

All you need is to PM me your Credit Card number, the expiration month and year, and the 3 digits on the back! But hurry, because Erdrick needs your help.

Every Dragon Quest game that isn't mainline is stuck in Japan and they need your help!

You know, I kinda wish the trailer of DQ starts at the face of the protagonist so people will start to expect that it was Goku...only to be suprised that it isnt.

It's not purely character or franchise based though. I find DQ just really generic on it's own. It's got a cloud of toxicity surrounding it though.

You already know there are gonna be plenty of Goku memes if Erdrick is a DLC character.

What is this "Cloud of toxicity", pray tell? The composer, who is doing his job and is just a prick on the side? The Erdrick fans that have been nothing but respectful and civil while you **** all over their most wanted? Or you? You bring up DQ to start arguments with little evidence and guilt DQ fans because the music they enjoy was written by a racist. It reflects poorly on you and the Geno fanbase as a whole. Stop digging yourself deeper, mate.

It makes me sad to see the hate that DQ gets just for the composer.
Even more so as someone who has fond memories of playing Monsters Joker on DS and DQ8 on PS2.

In fact, why do people hate the franchise besides of the composer?

If you play through 5 or 8 it's really hard not to fall in love with the franchise and see why there are so many fans worldwide. I remember before I played through 5 (my first DQ game) I thought the series was some Dragon Ball spinoff, but I was met with something entirely different and special.

Sugiyama is a bit more than a "prick" my dude. It's not like he's snobby about Indie Games or somthing. He denies massive war crimes.

And he writes good music that he should rightfully be paid for, but you're skipping over that, I see. I think his views are abhorrent and he is a repugnant stain on humanity, but his tunes are banging yo

I can understand not liking the series because it's not to your taste I can understand not liking the dated gameplay but not liking the series just because the composer is an ass is just silly I get it what he said publicly offend you but he's a composer it's not like his hate is in his music he's a composer first man with a big mouth second learn to separate the man from the music cuz yeah he said some dumb stuff but that man can make some good music your constant dissatisfaction about the series is overwhelming and to be honest if you were my only exposure to Geno fans you'd give them a bad name to be frank and thankfully that's not the case

Geno is the character because he's brave and the stats that were datamined for "Brave" could fit Geno quite well since they're close to Mario's.

I think Erdrick is nearly 100% confirmed, inb4 it's "Hero" and you play as the DQ1 hero by default (though Erdrick would technically still be an alt, maybe). Or, maybe we'll get Agnes Oblige (idk how to make the "e" have an accent without copy/paste).

no it's Merida from Disney's Brave.

Brave is listed as medium size, though. The same range of characters like cloud, joker and link. Hes not small like toon link.
Thank goodness.

Hmmm...that size could also match Phoenix Wright, Sephiroth, NiGHTS, Master Chief, Brave Fencer Musashi (from the sequel), or Edea Lee now that I think about it.

While it's true that it's harder for his views to leak into his work simply due to the medium; he still get payed for it. Should Polanski be payed for the good movies he makes, even though he's a horrible person, y'know what I mean? At the end of the day; the money allows him to continue spewing pile from atop his platform.

I mean, it would be pretty brave of Nintendo to include Geno when he’s so obscure. Listen, I don’t want people getting their hopes up, buuuuuut geno’s practically confirmed guys!!1!!!!!

When Sugiyama dies, will you still hate DQ as much as you do?

I am praying they have Toei animate it or at least do a trailer with an energy blast interrupting a Ryu/Lucario fight only to pan up to show a spiky-haired silhouette. That'd be so funny.

Yes, Sugiyama, NO ONE wants to talk about a single composer as to why a whole franchise shouldn't be in Smash. This conversation from you is gettting tired and petty and it has been for months now. You are literally grasping at straws.
