Would a Krystal amiibo like this be of your interests? I did not make this drawing btw. A person I knew on Miiverse(and still stay in touch with on my Switch)when it still existed drew this.
Nah... I'm not that desperate for one. But thanks though for the offer. It's mainly me grumbling of what could of have happen.

What they don't allow is the actual source assets to be rotated, smash flash 2 has existed for quite sometime, since 2007 infact, SSF2 has been famous for a bit too, the game even has online play, if they were going to hit SSF2, they would have done it by now, AM2R was shutdown because it used MZM assets, and because it could theoretically compete with Samus Returns, the same reason nintendo shot down emuparadise, as it could interfere with the switches online service, the time to shut it down has almost certainly passed, sure I think there's a couple months possibly left if they were concerned about it, but I wouldn't concern yourself with that, just because of nintendo's draconic anti-fangame policy, they're concerned with the fans themselves, and hitting a harmless fangame seems pointless, Smash Ultimate is untouchable by comparison.

Nintendo does not allow fan games like Super Smash Flash 2 to roam about, they'll soon tell the creator to stop production on it soon.

did last year. I hope others will do the same. It's not expensive and it doesn't take much time, but it might have a big impact. Imagine if Nintendo got multiple letters on this subject. That will leave an impression, for sure. We can't get complacent, folks. I mean, you know me: I'm definitely not one of those "Nintendo has retconned her" people, but I also don't want to wait much longer to finally see her make a comeback. They aren't retconning her, but they are certainly avoiding her. This time, they didn't really have a reason to keep her out. Starlink is a crossover where everyone can appear, technically. Considering that this collaboration came about around the same time SF2 was announced, they could have even included Miyu & Fay. It could've been a great way to test certain things, and see how the SF fanbase reacts. But instead, it looks like they still want to promote the already dead SF Zero. Of course, we also have SF GP, but we still don't know if it's actually real. I think it's time to switch from "Smash mode" to "SF mode". Actually, we can have both going, but right now, SF should be our number one priority. At least that's how I see it.
We have to try at least. Showing support is never a bad thing.
We still have no official confirmation that Zero has its own timeline. And even if it does, it shouldn't matter too much here. In a crossover that doesn't influence SF's canon, they wouldn't need to worry about timeline and such. If that were the case, we would see an 11-year-old Krystal in Smash Ultimate, because that's her age during the events of SF Zero, which Smash Ultimate apparently focuses on. They could include all the SF characters in Starlink, and people probably wouldn't care too much about timeline and canon, except for the hardcore Krystal haters. In fact, I think many people would love to see the entire team together again. A crossover would be the perfect opportunity for that.
Beat me to the punch.
Seeing Krystal at the top of the Assist Trophy list on Ultimate’s main website is such a big tease. It’s obvious Sakurai knows how much we want our favorite blue vixen playable, but yet he still keeps her just out of reach. However, with Krystal at the top of the Assist list. It makes me wonder if Sakurai is possibly hinting something. Knowing him it could be anything, but a man can dream right?Was making some 'promotional' material for Slippy and Peppy, but couldn't leave Krystal out even though she's deconfirmed. Was wanting to make two, one with her Smashified art, and one in her Adventures/Smash attire, but couldn't find a render large enough to look uniform with the rest. The stock icons were originally made by another user in the Newcomer Icons thread, but I went in and altered it to make it look more uniform with the existing Star Fox casts' stock icons.
Although she may not be playable in Smash, I still have hope that our support for her will get her noticed by Nintendo, and brought back in a future Star Fox game. I'm confident that we won't see her in Starlink: Battle for Atlas, with the most likely reference being talk of 'something big happening with Sauria/Dinosaur Planet' after the Star Fox quest line finishes. Suggesting that the events of Adventures may happen once the team get back to the Lylat System. Don't think we'll be seeing that either, if I'm to be honest, but would be cool nonetheless. Maybe we could get a hint towards an actual in-development title?
It's always a possibility, which is why you should enjoy these games while you can. You can't control whether Nintendo takes it down or not, so why worry about it? I can't wait to play the next update, but I'm a little surprised they went the hybrid spacie route with the sniper rifle, grenades and all that.@Gagnestar
"Blah Blah Blah, Nintendo can't take down assets and sources not their own, Yadda yadda yadda." It's still their IP, good people. Nintendo could likely force the game to stop production when Smash Ultimate draws closer to release date. Haven't y'all on this site and anywhere who has the galls to play fan games even considered any of this?
Not sure there's much we can do except be vocal about our love for the character, but ultimately her fate is up to nintendo, miyamoto and whoever else develops the next star fox, if there even is a next star fox.
At this point, the best thing to do would be to do like the Crash and Spyro fanbases, and support her alongside the SF2 girls, and emphasize how she can have a more unique moveset compared to the two. On the bright side, unlike the whole Ashley situation, Star Fox has fewer characters overall. Then there's the fact that ATs can and have been promoted twice so far, which can be pointed out to Nintendo and Sakurai.
the latter is certainly true, though I'd have to agree with PF9, Krystal was definitely the forerunner Starfox request over wolf, and even sourcegaming documented how everyone was upset it was Wolf when he was released, yet when everyone played him, his frankenstein kit won people over, Krystal was ignored in favor of 64 styled games and she just started fading away. That's not to say Wolf isn't popular, because he was, and certainly is now.
I don't really share that optimism, if she doesn't make DLC in this smash it's almost certain she will never be playable in smash, the only conceivable way after would be if they were able to pull even bigger strings, (likely ropes even) to bring namco back AGAIN to work on smash, not improving near anything, just adding more characters. Sakurai is even concerned about the next title, for the same reasons we are. Because we've been spoiled with Ultimate.
I hope a few of the characters that are Assist Trophies get removed from the game as a Assist and get promoted to playable status through DLC. But chances are very slim to none for that to actually happen.
True, but Sakurai is notoriously unpredictable and I know Smash Ultimate will get DLC support, but who else is even left to add as DLC, who's even all that popular
Cool I didn't realise so many people were sending letters showing their support directly. Wasn't sure if I'd do it myself but reading this makes me feel encouraged to do the same. May not get there for a little while as I like to take my time when writing stuff to make sure I cover all my points and that I'm being considerate and respectful at all times towards anyone who may be reading. Suppose I can thank them for her recent inclusion for smash, talk about what the StarFox franchise means to me and that I'm willing to show my support for future games in the series, and hopefully a return of Krystal's character too. I'm guessing the address is the one you posted except with the amended zip code used.
I was thinking that for this game they could maybe release fighters in sets of 3 or 5 maybe in order to increase their value for money as I know alot of people felt that the price for one character was too much, with one potential wave being promoted popular assist trophies like Bomberman, Ashley Waluigi and of course Krystal herself. I imagine it's a very long shot but I always like to think of ways she could potentially make it in that are potentially feasible.
Who knows, maybe with that direct happening tomorrow there's a chance GP will be announced. Maybe not a high chance but I'll still be having my fingers crossed during the direct in hopes of a surprise announcement regarding the game or even the series as a whole.
Correct! That is the address! Feel free to let me know if you decide to do one so I can get a feel for what we will have in the end with the total letters they will be getting from us. Every little bit helps so just take your time to address all your points that you want to address. It will look really good for her character getting a bunch of letters asking to see her again.
Hey so got my letter sent off in the the post today, spent half the night writing it up and almost being late to work to do so (I should probably reconsider my prioritises XD) but with any luck it should reach them sometime next week. Just spoke about what Nintendo meant to me, how I got introduced to the series and her character, and how I'd love to see her again and show my support as best I can after such a long absence, whilst trying to be as appreciative and thankful for her recent appearance in Smash. Would be amazing if we one day got some acknowledgement from Nintendo about these letters especially if they get a bunch like you mentioned. Probably won't happen but one can dream nonetheless
