It wasn't so much that Crash was cancelled again as much as it was "things aren't what people think". At least, that's what I've gathered. Problem is, Crash fans wound up exposing their bad side here. Feel bad for Liam...
I see. I won't put a ton of weight into his tweets, but I'll at least remember them.
I haven't been seeing anyone, at least on here, say he's a lock... You on the other hand said his chances "are good as dead." I honestly don't see how you could have this opinion at this point. It's certainly a pessimistic outlook. I understand wanting to be cautious, but not because of all this "theme of the pass" talk.
That would just be completely tone-deaf from both Nintendo and Sakurai. Crash Bandicoot is way too big of a character to get the Mii costume treatment. It would be the equivalent of making someone like Sonic or Mega Man a Mii costume.
Not to sound rude, but didn't people say that about Geno?
Well Sans, Cuphead and Bomberman are incredibly famous characters and they got deluxe mii costumes, because of time management. I would actually prefer Sans, Cuphead, Bomberman, and Crash to be playable.
Geno already had a costume before though.
Also, Geno is mostly popular within the Smash community, not overall. Crash is huge and has such a broad appeal, it just wouldn't make sense to make him a mii costume.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: Leaking... Live!
Crash is a different story as Crash was Sony's PlayStation mascot in the 90s who was going toe to toe with Mario and Sonic in the video game wars of the 90s. Crash deserves nothing more than the playable character treatment.
There not even in the same league.
Crash Bandicoot and Geno's situations aren't similar in the slightest. While Geno does have a fairly big fanbase, at the end of the day he's still a side character from one Mario RPG. He really doesn't have that much popularity in comparison to Crash, who was one of the biggest platforming mascots of the 90's, going toe to toe with Mario and Sonic, not to mention how the franchise has had a huge revival recently.
Resident Evil only got spirits.
I mean aesthetically speaking, there are a few major parts of Resident Evil that may not go over well in a family game.
Yeah, and that was BEFORE they introduced the tall vampire lady...
Maybe, but that’s not the main point. The main point is iconic third-party franchises not getting playable representation is not that weird or unusual.
While I have no history with Resident Evil, But respects it's legacy and not that it can't happen, But personally I never looked at that franchise and said to myself...
I think they meant it more as in a "Resident Evil deserves to be in Smash" kinda way. It DID help revolutionize the horror genre.
Maybe, but the Marvel vs Capcom series has proven that Resident Evil characters can be made into fighters.
Pretty much almost every single iconic 3rd party franchise merits at least 1 playable character.
Yea, you bring up a good point. I've thought about this as well. It's hard to know exactly how they decide whether to give a series a Mii Costume or a spirit event. I've thought that only huge franchises like RE would get spirit events, but then you have Altair and Lloyd getting a mii costume. Then you have to try and justify how those characters aren't big ENOUGH, and it all just gets really arbitrary.
Good point, But while there are exceptions like Snake (Favor for Kojima By Sakurai), Smash Bros "Core" identity heavily favors certain archtypes like platforming mascots and in recent years JRPG/Swordsmen which probably explains why they get speculated on the most for a game like Smash.
That's when they bring the synthesizer on stage...
Well to be fair, the leaker said those were the songs they were "considering" for the orchestra, not that every song would be used.
Wat. Lol
I want remixes of the title screen music and Hang Eight from Crash 2 to be some music he brings with him.
I feel like Resident Evil is one of those few legendary legacy franchises that don't really need a rep just for the sake of representing Resident Evil in the roster or having a FPS rep. I really don't care that much if Resident Evil ever makes it into the roster as I think there are other video game franchises that would bring more unique characters than Resident Evil as all you have with Jill and Leon is people with a gun, knife, ect that would be pretty boring fighters in my opinion. I feel like Master Chief and Doom Slayer could bring more to the table than them even Lara Croft.
I can understand that a Resi rep doesn’t seem that fun on paper, but like
True Blue Warrior
said, MvC proved that they can be made into fighters.I wonder if they would be able to use their usual equipment. I mean, it would look kinda weird if somebody like Leon could happily use normal firearms and knives, but Snake can only use CQC and explosives. However, it would work fine, and it'd show that SB's philosophy towards character design isn't always as strict in regard to what would be considered "dangerous" for the target demo.I can understand that a Resi rep doesn’t seem that fun on paper, but like
Of course, Smash would probably take a different approach; maybe something closer to the original 3 games on PS1, where you select weapons from a menu and have to carefully manage your resources.
You and I are always ready to jump on the next Papagenos video. You beat me again! I was just about to post this.
Make that three, as soon as it was posted, went to watch it immediately. Tho I never ended posting it earlier because I figured one of you two would before I did LOL
That's equally likely. Unlike Microsoft, Nintendo doesn't have as much leverage with Activision so I could see negotiations taking longer for his inclusion.
Now I fear that I'm going to start having hope in that "concert leak" being real. It all depends on Monster Hunter returning or not as a Mii costume. If those costumes aren't shown in the next Sakurai Presents, then that leak could possibly gain more veracity.
And that would make it hurt even more if it turns out to be fake. I remember Cacomallow...
To be fair it probably is fake. Ken doesn’t have his song in the concert lineup
They might have simply overlooked Ken when posting the song lineup. But yea, it's probably best to not put too much stock into this.
Well tbf, the Smash Ultimate roster is so huge that I wouldn't put it past someone to overlook a character on accident. Of course, I'm not saying this leak is real, but I don't think that 100% proves its fake.
