Even with characters like Mega Man, Sakurai seems to design the fighter first, and cram the references later. I think Isaac might be like Shulk or Little Mac: Similar to other fighters in some senses but has a few design gimmicks and a unique special system.
We have 27!?
It's a joke lol, it's about how Sakurai just keeps adding anime swordfighters nonstop and with the exception of Shulk and Corrin they're pretty much all the same gimmick with a slightly different design
Definitely. It's 27 if you are super loose with what's an "anime swordsman", maybe even 28 if you are even looser with it
ultroy: - 10 by strictest definitions of "Anime Swordsmen" - 13 now if we say "anime" is japanese animation, which is the definition I use (welcome to the sword club Ganondorf!) - 14 now if we count swords-women - 15 if they simply need to be able to use a sword in their full moveset (FS included) - 21 if we count any sort of metal blade as a "sword" - 23 if we pointy metal objects used as weapons as a "sword" - 26 if we count claws as "swords"(maybe ) - 27, maybe 28 if we count elemental/energy swords
I assume you are joking.
Done
Yeah, I don't really do speculation outside of this thread anymore, but when I did, I got really tired of hearing stuff like that. Characters like Isaac have so much that they can do outside of swords. I mostly hear this line from people who don't care about Isaac or GS. There are legit reasons to not like Isaac, and I can totally understand just not clicking with the character or "anime", but I honestly think that on some level the reason I hear this line a lot is because people who don't like Isaac get an easy and reasonable reason to oppose his inclusion.
It holds no weight for me considering that these would likely be the same people who either troll with Goku or Shrek, or are pissed about a character they want not making it (Do I even need to mention said character?) that they don't want anything else making it.
i feel that that smash 4 just had to many fire emblem characters the sword users were not the problem at least for me after corrin we didn't need any new ones echos are fine whatever but a new spot no I'm honestly tired of characters whose series are represented enough as it is while franchises need another rep or a new franchise we don't need a new pokemon just because every game until this point had a new one same goes for fire emblem no more promotion picks that's why I hope this is game is only fan desired characters from the ballot and hopefully the wanted 3 are in at least the wanted 3 on this site of course everywhere else its rex or another pokemon etc also to get rid of the anime swordsman thing give that boi the axe boom new weapon that hasn't been used in smash and it makes sense fore him to use it
There're various producers/directors who can supervise different projects and franchises. Miyamoto did it with Mario, Pikmin and Star Fox for example. Kosuke Yabuki did it with ARMS and Mario Kart 8. So it wouldn't be strange. Also, that comment was followed after the huge success of Splatoon, so I can understand why the executives pushed the productors/directors to do some new IPs.
I would be pissed.
No. I felt pissed when he lost the AT despite not being playable. If his AT is back, I'll still take it as a sign Nintendo hasn't forgotten about Golden Sun and recognizes the love fans have for the series.
That's completely untrue. It's still entirely possible for ATs to be upgraded. It's only had one game where it could happen so the fact that it didn't in Smash 4 doesn't mean it can't happen. Now if it doesn't happen again that is a much stronger argument but for now not really. Still Isaac probably wouldn't be upgraded it would likely be Waluigi.
Relieved for sure. I don't think I'd have a right to be pissed given in this scenario Sakurai gave Golden Sun back it's representation with the assist trophy. Given we didn't have that in Smash 4, this would be a step up. And unlike a certain other assist trophy's fanbase, I'd like to imagine we'd be able to handle the news with a bit less conspiracy theorizing.
This is the main reason I'm annoyed with a few certain character's fanbases (one in particular). AT is not a bad thing. I'm rooting for K Rool, Isaac, Mio Amakura, and Saki. Do I think all of them have strong reasons why they should be playable? Yes, definitely. Will I be angry if any of the above are AT? No, I'll actually be thrilled because there's a ton of competition for playable characters and most people's wants won't make it even as AT. If you aren't big enough to be known by your average casual gamer, then you are lucky to be represented in any form.
Momentary disappointment followed by lasting contentedness.
Same lol.
