Don't worry, simping is par for the course when it comes to fictional characters.This one here. It oozes "MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COST" She's also voiced by Yuko Minaguchi (Videl in Dragon Ball, Momiji in Ninja Gaiden), which pushes the cuteness factor BEYOND THE LIMITS.
... Am I simping too much?
the vibe im getting is she about to clobber us with those booksThis one here. It oozes "MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COST" She's also voiced by Yuko Minaguchi (Videl in Dragon Ball, Momiji in Ninja Gaiden), which pushes the cuteness factor BEYOND THE LIMITS.

Don't worry, I save the waifu-ism **** to the likes of Byleth and Mythra, Ayumi looks too pure for this kind of stuff (emphasis on "looks", that's all I know about her right now lol)
probably the quote on quote "antagonist" but having just them would be just fine
Well, I suppose if we do get one more 1st party pick (not counting the supposed bonus pick that may or may not happen), Ayumi does have more to go with than most
i think many of us could think of someone theyd say the same of who it didnt work out for
A reenactment of the game's cutscenes would actually be quite cool, it's probably one of the core things about visual novel but I feel like with the remake cutscene being a moving image that really break the uniqueness to actually be an exclusive to Smash.
Jon's always been for gaming (and Nintendo) history picks and also tends to support the introduction of new genres into Smash, so I'm not too surprised to see him support it.
So I swung by the eShop page for the FDC remakes, and uh...

...So that's how an FDC rep would fight.
And before anyone asks, this is still the case in the prequel, meaning karate and naginata skills are consistent parts of the MC and Ayumi's characterization.

Nothing about heavy metal for Ayumi though. Must've developed that between games.
Character development!
The heavy metal one threw me off, it may be because we never got a fan translation of the first game but I'm not actually aware if that was ever brought up before.
Well, now we know she can do a killer headbang as a taunt in Smash!
And how the music (or at least her own theme song) should sound like.
So you know how she was considered for Melee? Well, I wouldn't be surprised if this character was a Primary Influence in whatever Sakurai's Moveset for Ayumi was. https://youtu.be/_n2pozehmfA
words fail me. ill see if i can find an image
I wonder how much of that fighting style would go into her moveset over the wacky stuff people usually come up when it comes to a non-fighter because it comes directly from the game. I usually don't like these type of fighter and was ready to make an exception for Ayumi
Yeah, I'd imagine the naginata would probably be reserved for a special, if anything. Maybe something like Dancing Blade, where after the initial attack you can follow up with another input, though I'd make it only one followup for each direction rather than a four-hit combo chain.
I don't recall if it was ever brought up in part 2, let alone the player seeing her actually use one. But it'd be a neat reference for those who actually looked into the character bios.
I still think it counts though.
But there is some evidence that it was only planned to be released overseas in the last couple months.
What evidence? It doesn't make sense that a game as high quality as FDC could ever be considered for a non-release outside of Japan these days. It aint the 90's - 00's anymore.
Again, please consider: https://youtu.be/t9ILmwqrUUs
I think it's kind of hard to tell, as the evidence both for it having not been planned for localization and the evidence for it having been planned from the beginning are... kind of the same evidence?
I think you're very much underestimating how big of a task it is to translate a visual novel. Not just translating it but also implementing it into the game itself. If it was easy enough to do in just a couple months for 8-10 hour games with just about nothing but text, we'd have a lot less games stuck in Japan.
I hate it when people don't want to play a game because it's too Japanese and I feel like the crowd that thinks that way will totally ignore Famicom Detective Club just because it's too Japanese per say which is a ridiculous mindset to have. I remember telling some people about the underrated Ganbare Goemon/Mystical Ninja series and some folks kind of ignored it because it was "Too Japanese". I remember telling one forum I wanted to learn Kanji so I could understand and play the Japan only Goemon games and they called me a weep for saying that.
Well, she was considered for the Retro slot in Melee but didn't get in because of Sakurai thinking westerners wouldn't recognize her. Now her games are finally coming to the west and that barrier isn't a issue anymore.
sounds strange when Sakurai already added
during melee which no one outside of japan knew aboutExactly. But one reason I can picture the Fire Emblem characters getting the pass was because Nintendo was already preparing to bring the series over to the west at the time.sounds strange when Sakurai already added
