Disappointing eh...
Frankly, I kinda feel the same-ish? I like when Smash does the more cartoony and fun characters like Steve/Alex or Piranha Plant. Terry gets a pass for me cuz fighting games are great though.
Yeah, but I could also see them making the price fair or at least doable for Nintendo since they would be idiots to not grab some DLC dough from Ultimate's success.
That's why I'm such a big Rareware fan because most of their classic IPs has nothing but cartoon looking characters. Not only their games are masterpieces, but the designs for a lot of their characters are very charming and artistic to look at. Classic Rareware was basically the Looney Tunes of gaming.
I lowkey fully expect a Tracer costume (and maybe also Overwatch Spirit Event) with Crash. Maybe a Warcraft costume too
Or maybe Tracer as a character in pass 3!
Why wouldn't Crash be first?
Just my perception that Steve's trailer wouldn't have started the way it did.
Who says Crash couldn’t be simultaneously negotiable?
Crash only came back into prominence in 2017. Steve took Five Years to Finalize. The Precedent that sets for Western Characters is why I simply can't see Crash this Pass. Not only that but Activision's Greed, and how Activision would absolutely force Coco into an Echo Fighter and you see why I simply can't see Crash in Smash. I think he should be here, he absolutely deserves to be in here to some extent, but I simply can't see it happening this Pass. Potential Third Pass definitely, but for now I simply think that he has simply been outprioritized when it comes to the Smash Invite man.
Just because Steve took 5 years to finalize doesn’t mean Crash couldn’t have been negotiated sometime later.
Sure, but then there's also the question of if Nintendo would actually go for Crash when Hayabusa is right there, from a Company Nintendo has WAYYY Better Relations with than Activision, with Hayabusa also be a Platforming Icon, from Japan sure, but with a more Western Appeal than even the Castlevania Duo! Again, Crash would be amazing, I just think he got outprioritized this time around. Same applies with Sora, or any other highly requested character with nothing against them. They just lost out to someone else.
So you think Hayabusa is getting in Crash's way even though they have nothing to do with each other?
You just want to see other characters get in besides them.
Nah, it's just that I simply can't see them getting into Smash. I just fail to see how these characters can get in. Sora because of Sephiroth and the fact that Kingdom Hearts is a Disney IP. Capcom I think gets screwed over by getting Ken in Base Game and Hayabusa just stealing a spot due to how I fail to see a Pass where we get a Koei Tecmo Character and a Capcom Character. And Crash simply got outprioritzed by Steve and potentially Hayabusa as well if Hayabusa gets in (which I think is borderline inevitable for many reasons). Don't predict your most wanted kids, otherwise you will simply be disappointed with the end result.
So if it's not Hayabusa, the character is impossible.
I'm saying our Final Three are probably three characters that aren't exactly predictable. I mean, remember when people predicted Terry before the SNK Leak oh wait no one did. Remember when people brought up Cloud or especially Sephiroth as legitimate options before they got revealed oh wait no one did. Remember when people brought up Joker unironically before FP1 oh wait no one did. Only character I can see as extremely likely at the moment is Hayabusa, everyone else I can't say because I honestly think a lot of people get too predictable. Again, don't predict your most wanted, otherwise you'll just be disappointed in the end result.
I find it really hard to believe Hayabusa has that much higher of a chance appearing in Smash over Crash. Also, since when does getting a rep in the base game stop you from getting a dlc fighter in the case of Capcom? By all means, I think many still believe that companies only get a character once or twice if third party and that's it unless it's a special occasion, but there's nothing that implies that other than it...not happening yet. Unless Square's 3 counts.
I'm a simple man, I love video games, cartoons and animals.
Not everyone predicts their most wanted. If I was in charge of the pass, we would have gotten Spyro and Heavy. Do I think they are likely? Hell no. But you honestly are coming off as very defensive that people are defending Crash...in the Crash thread. Your entire argument boils down to just assuming Hayabusa is a lock and expecting curveballs, which if I am being honest is a flimsy argument on both of those parts. Will people predict everything right? Obviously not, but at the same time there is a reason people think Crash is a relatively safe choice. If you want to say Crash is not likely, that is 100% fine. But you need a better argument than what you are doing right here.
Wait, how does this affect Crash's chances? Microsoft and Activision are two completely different companies so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here.
To be fair, it would probably help if we didn't accuse them of being disingenuous when they very well may believe what they're saying. That said, this poster could definately stand to be a bit more humble. Let's all take a deep breath shall we?
Just because it took them 5 years to negotiate for Steve that doesn't mean it would take as long for Crash. I mean, Steve is a 2nd party rep to a rivaling company afterall and Crash is a rep from a 3rd party company. Both western, but with Steve being owned by Microsoft, I imagine he would have more red tape on him. If Crash is in, they could have gotten the rights to him as late as the Summer of 2019 for all we know as that was around the time Fighter's Pass 2 was greenlited.
Do you have the link to that Discord? I know this isn't Crash related, but I feel as a Geno supporter, I should be in that Discord.I miss the Geno gang. Most of the guys left here to the Star Road Discord.
No, but I was invited a long time ago. Don't know if I'll ever jump on Discord though, but my invitation is still there.
What platform are you playing "N.Sane Trilogy" on?
That's some impressive gaming. Three Crash games in 48 hours.
PS4! I bought Crash 4 during Black Friday, I’ll be playing it later in the year. I’m actually doing a little marathon of PlayStation trilogies rn. Crash, Spyro, Ratchet, Jak, Sly, God of War & Infamous in that order. I’ve never played any of them (besides GOW ‘18) but I’ve wanted to for a while.
I think I worded it out wrong, What I meant to say is that I bought it a day or 2 after it released the week it came out, I didn't beat the game all in one go in just one weekend, It probably took me 3 weeks or almost month to beat the entire trilogy ,I try not to rush through games and pace myself so I can really enjoy them.
Just out of curiosity, Are you gonna be playing the PS2 trilogy's on the Playstation 2 or the HD ports on PS3?
