What about a character in an already included franchise who got recognition outside of their base game, also too late for base game and (possibly) too early for DLC?
I have a feeling X was at the right time as well, but they probably felt Corrin added more from a gameplay standpoint, I guess.
Isn't it odd that we give heck on America for skin censorship and yet Sakurai talks so much of Japan giving him trouble with characters being sexy? Heck, apparently the reason for FE Fates being M rated in Japan was just because of "one scene" rather than the main fanservice people try to pin it on. And from the country "known for it's fanservice".
I wonder if we'll get at least some details about it rather than all of it. I mean, wasn't there something for Brawl in which a whole bunch of characters were mentioned by Sakurai from something?
What is the point here? The volume would work for me so I didn't hear anything.
The animation being godawful.
Ah alright. I honestly didn't notice xD
Do they have festivals in Japan where people run around dressed as Marth for an entire week? Or have planes that have Fire Emblem characters on them? Or have Fire Emblem merch shops called "Anna's Magnificent Store"?
Man I love Baddinyan.
Yeh poor Inklings, gonna hafta wait til the next game.
So basically DLC was designated as the following:
Yeah because otherwise Rodea definitely would've made it into Smash.>Character from a game that needed promotion
>Poor timing
You don't get it any worse than this guy.
Yeah I mean he was always more likely than Wolf tbhYeah because otherwise Rodea definitely would've made it into Smash.
Not sure if "timing" really had anything to do with it...Yeh poor Inklings, gonna hafta wait til the next game.
You wanna talk about a victim of poor timing?
It did the first time, and it didn't help the second time.
And I don't think Zael will have a chance of joining Smash 5's roster unless a miracle happens.
Isn't Cloud technically ballot as well?
I'm not counting Smash 4, since in hindsight, Dark Dawn didn't do Isaac any favors whatsoever.
Once again, my opinion that Corrin is a "hate the sins, not the sinner" character continues to be reinforced.
PushDustIn
and the rest of the Source Gaming staff for translating this article and showing it to us.
I don't understand... Sakurai could've made any character fun...
No, he's a long term kind of thing.
Nah, he was more of a character that was requested for years.
No.
Wolf is a horrible counter to the "advertise upcoming game" logic.
I don't see how, he's still a character that appears in that specific title and represents that franchise, so him being a returning character or not doesn't really matter in the way that I see it.
Agreed, I got Wonderful 101 earlier this year on Club Nintendo. That game did not deserve to tank, at all. Wonder Red in Smash would be amazing. I'm actually upset we didn't get any Wonderful 101 Mii costumes.
Not saying it's the only factor, but if GS's peak had happened at a time without competition so stiff, I can't imagine Isaac would have remained omitted. He had popularity, potential, and had just come off two highly successful games.
The CSS looks weird anyway with the clones and the DLC ordered separately from the rest of their series.Really when you look the DLC and the order it would appear on the CCS (if Wolf somehow returned.)
He would look rather odd considering the veterans are all placed up front.
Mind you, If the CSS was reorganised this wouldn't be an issue at all.
I deserve 0 credit for this! This was 100% soma and the other translation staff. I was actually quite surprised when I woke up, I thought I had another week for the next Sakurai column so I didn't check before I went to sleep last night. Sorry for the delay!Once again, my opinion that Corrin is a "hate the sins, not the sinner" character continues to be reinforced.
And while I don't hate Bayonetta or her inclusion in Smash (I will be getting her and enjoying the crap out of her), the fact that Sakurai thought she was the most "realizable" of the character choices causes my internal BS radar to go ballistic.
Whatever the case, many thanks to
I see, I thought in the direct he mentioned Final Fantasy had a lot of characters requested in the ballot and in Famitsu he says FF has been requested for Smash as a whole. Maybe there was a translation error in the direct? Or did I hear wrong?
