Y'all are too old to be like acting like this.

It's a video game. If you put that much chips into speculation, go outside.
Dude, this is a forum for a specific subject. They always attract people extremely passionate about that subject, not just casual fans.

Idk. I have a feeling P5 is gonna be overcome like… the FF7 of the Persona series. Like, the series will go on with new protagonists and stories but 5 is going to be the super marketed iconic one that everyone thinks of first.
It's wild that Persona 5 really only has that claim to fame because it actually released on a modern system that plenty of people own instead of an old system and a dead handheld because Atlus went in real hard with Persona 4.

For the record I do think old fan favorites have their merits. My favorite newcomer for this game was King K. Rool and I do want both Isaac and Geno.

I mostly just take issue with the fact that some people act like newer characters don't have merit and I don't want old fan favorites to be the only newcomers as it would make the roster feel samey and outdated

Also I'm tired and grumpy

Ok? I was hella passionate about some characters getting in the game, and yet I don't throw hissy fits when things don't go my way, because that ain't healthy. It's a video game, why would I dedicate my life to pixels and code that I have little to no input in?

Persona 4 is weird because it's basically a rom hack of P3 and almost killed the series, lmao.

Still an amazing game.

I hate this whole "it would be outdated" thing that's been popping up lately, because Brawl wasn't hated for its lack of notable Wii representation outside of Twlight Princess.

And just because I was too focused on Isaac doesn't mean I solely want the Grinch Gang. But my reason for want characters outside that leak is more "it would be cool" than worrying about the roster being "outdated".

I agree that P5 is hard to top but every entry in the series after the first Persona became bigger than the first one. I wouldn't be surprised if Persona 6 surpassed all the previous ones, especially considering that it'll have the same director with Royal and Royal was GOAT.
I’m not saying quality of game. Lots of people would say ff10 is a way better game then ff7. But Cloud is still way more iconic then Tidus, ya get me?

I've been saying this since base game when people said we weren't gonna get a Gen 7 Pokémon.

Granted I do think characters should get in on their own merits but I also think modern characters shouldn't be overlooked.

It's why I think the DLC "shill picks" were good additions to the game even if I don't give a rat's ass about ARMS

Whatever the next Smash game is, can we just get that item back? Please?

It was like one of the best new item Brawl got, some guess it got cut because it might have required more animation to be implemented for each characters using it, but whatever the hell it might be, just gimmie back that good ole ****. Pretty, pretty please.

I honestly forgot that existed. Would be nice to see it back. Isn't it the only Brawl item cut from 4?

Smash’s future is an uncertain dark void. We can play around in that void all we like. But eventually we will reach our destination. We cannot stay at this moment forever. As much as we may want to. And that uncertainty, weather the future is pleasant or poor, bothers me.

Not sure if they were more items cut, but it's a dang shame that one got left behind.

If the next Smash as lots of cuts character wise, I hope they can make it up in other aspects.

Stop worrying about something that's years away and just appreciate what we have now.
Like, that's just general life advice really.

Actually, why are we arguing about this? Smash is over. No characters left, better luck next game lmaooooooo
I had the misfortune of only getting back into speculation by the end so my obsession with roster ain't gonna die out in the near future.

Don't get me wrong though, I'm mostly happy with what we got. It's just that it won't stop me from fantasizing about my ideal Smash game and talking about it

Watch the next Smash pull a SFIII, and cut everyone except Mario and Luigi, and we have a whole new cast.


And they have to re-add Pikachu because such a ballsy move nearly kills the franchise.
Pikachu gonna be top tier again smh
But Luigi is gonna get the respect he deserves and be top tier with a super hype tournament moment

Also take with a grain of salt, but eclipse says the Pokémon is a ghost type Zoura. Would be pretty interesting.

My only gripe with Ultimate's roster is that the one real issue I have with it could've easily been fixed if Sakurai just chose a different character, but at the same time I also know it's a purely personal issue and that out of the bajilion people that bought Ultimate and play it, there are maybe five people who are bothered by that one thing, myself included

I thought XC2 deserved a slot myself, but things wouldn't be "samey" or "outdated" if just one Banjo-tier character was among FP2. In fact it wouldn't even dent the pass's sales at all since the normies ate it up thanks to Steve and Sephiroth lmao

Did you even read the part where I said "I just don't want all the characters to be old guard requests and actually want Isaac and Geno" or did you purposefully ignore that?
