Feels like forced game design. Just a minor complaint.

Also, to anyone who was even remotely interested in the game, keep an eye on Gamejolt. The original version of the game is going to be uploaded there for free.

I still don't understand why Scott is so damn impatient on releasing his games ASAP.

Yes, he's been "lucky" in the past but that shouldn't be an excuse for rushing (NOBODY should be rushing for ANY reason for that matter either).

I think he's just excited about what he's finished.

A lot of "amateur" content creator's get that way, (LOL including me)

They complete a certain part, think it looks good and get excited so they release it

He ****ed up HARD on this one, and people called him out on it. Despite me not being much of a fan of his stuff, I at least respect what he's done. He took it off Steam with promises of a huge overhaul, is offering full refunds, and going forward, the game will be free.

It kind of kills me that Krystal didn't even get a Mii costume but with Wolf getting the boot and the last new, original Star Fox game coming out 10 years ago, it was to be expected. Sucks that she's been (at least temporarily) retconned out of the series so I'm not holding my breath for the next Smash unless something dramatically changes between then and now.

I'm gonna say something about third party reps and it might seem controversial, mean spirited or even bias but it's sort of the truth


Don't expect a Western Third Party character in Smash. I say this as a fact that when you look at all the third party characters look at the companies that they are from.
Konami: :snake:
Namco-Bandai::4pacman:
Capcom: :4megaman::4ryu:
Sega: :4sonic::4bayonetta:
Square-Enix: :4cloud:

Notice they are all from massive Third Party Japan video game companies. Now there could be a few exceptions but as for now the majority of those reps will come from those companies.

Hell Tecmo Koei has a much better chance at having a Smash rep than most third party characters especially with the large Nintendo relationship



That's all.

As was :jigglypuff64: (Pokemon is a thing, Kirby is basically 1:1)
And :ganondorfmelee: (Real popular in Smash 2 ballot, Falcon has the same frame)
As well as :wolf: (I forget exactly why, but I know he was one of the last)
:4drmario::4darkpit::4lucina: also have this trait (And :4alph: might've joined them given more time)
I'm honestly surprised people don't get it by now :drshrug:
Actually.
:falcon64:'s just a rehash of beta stuff in the first place.
:luigi64:.
:drmario:.
and also:lucas:was mid-late in development; surprisingly enough. Presumably this is why his story works with one of the most intruique characters to program (:pt:)

Just some other examples.

But these are longtime icons (well, except Bayo) though. In all seriousness, outside of RARE and Blizzard, western developers weren't really making that big of dent in the gaming market worldwide until the XBox/PS2/GC era.

To further stress this, Pac-man's older than Mario and DK, Megaman/Ryu/Snake are about as old as Link/Samus, Sonic's about the same age as Yoshi, and Cloud's almost the same age as Pikachu.

I'm not talking characters but moreso the companies and you're right. There aren't a lot of companies that held that foothold in gaming until Post-PS1 era.

Bayo has a slight but small advantage of just being attached to a company like Sega and Platinum who are easy to work with and is just a big name third party company

Errrm... Whoops, dumb moment from me, I especially should've remembered because my girlfriend is also getting a ton of snow. :p

This is what happens when you love by the beaches of california your whole life... Which ironic, I hate the beach. I hate sand.

I get what you're saying, but at this point, so many "rules" have been broken, and these third parties are examples of that.

I'm still gonna hold out for Rayman and Shovel Knight (and Professor Layton but he's Japanese made). On the basis that I think they'd be cool to see.

Also, :4diddy: is British made.

Nintendo owns him now, but...it's something I guess.

EDIT: And I'll hold out for Sora too. Really want to see him too.

As much as I hate to say it, unless Konami gets their **** together, I don't think it's logical to expect any characters from them in future installments of Smash.

I feel like there isn't any rules but moreso expectations and experiences.

It's not about being western made like Diddy but from a Western company.

Rayman is probably the only exception for sure but it's all up in the air and my third party choices are just gonna be characters I think have a better shot IMO.

Hell Im gonna ride that Sonic, Street Fighter and Final Fantasy will be the first third party franchises to get multiple reps

I'm a sweaty, disgusting mess.

I wish it snowed here.

In this case I will still say that expectations or experiences can still be broken.

:4corrin::4cloud::4bayonetta:

I don't want to sound like I'm clinging on desperately to these characters (I'm only recently a Shovel Knight fan, as in...two or three weeks recently), but it's just a case of me becoming so apathetic towards the idea of Smash speculation these days. Especially since there isn't even a new game to speculate for yet.

I don't want to pretend like it's possible to be accurate or calculated about it anymore considering how many times Smash 4 blew community expectations.

Tbh, I never understood where the Banjo hype comes from.
Like, he had two N64 games and that's it
And it's not like he's still relevant or popular to the general public
He's in the same boat as R. Cool

Anyways, FE7 question: besides Guy and arguably Lyn, are there any other Myrmidions in this game?

You don't know what I'd do to make it snow here
Especially now, I wonder how a summer snow would work

Every time I see :4corrinf: and :4bayonetta: icons I cry a bit. Because they're so close, yet so unknowingly far.

And yeah yeah, I know, "We waited for so-and-so we can wait another few weeks" But bleeeeugh.

Nostalgia. People who played the game loved it

Plus this generation of internet people were around for a lot of popular youtubers talked about banjo

EX jontron

TLDR lots and lots of nostalgia and some people living off other's nostalgia

Yeah but remember we won't see the same type of speculation we got for Smash 4 spearhead into Smash 5 like we did with the transition from Brawl.

Things ain't gonna stay the same like it is now. A lot of variables can happen

I am a casual Banjo-Kazooie supporter and I think the the duo would make sense.

There is a lot to pull from in terms of their personalities and moves, and no matter what people say, the N64 nostalgia is strong. Smash has added plenty of characters based on nothing but pure nostalgia.

This is, a lot changed over the course of Smash 4, especially going into DLC territory, yet people still clung to dated expectations.

I just don't think it's worth bothering. Most I'll do for Smash speculation is draw up movesets for characters I like.

I have been thinking about a Henry Fleming one as of late.

Well yeah, we seem to have a hard enough time getting Western created Nintendo characters in Smash, let alone Western third parties.....

Like, the only Western created Nintendo character we have to this day is Diddy Kong......:diddy:

Feb 14-15 is when they're coming. I'm almost confident enough to put money on that. EVERY character DLC we've gotten was either on the 14th or 15th of the month.

Honestly with character support just go along for the ride, have fun and don't take things too seriously.
It's just characters in a video game. Save the major concern for things that actually matter.
SSB4 has been a good learning experience for that.

I despise the cold. Would trade in a heartbeat.
And yet your avi is Ice Queen II.:p
