Even still, it's not like this game is going to have less content than NASB1 at launch, which is what I feel like people are acting like when they focus on the cuts and ONLY the cuts.

Just wait until they find out Mortal Kombat has never done Armageddon again. And that's a franchise which according to its devs is the only fighting game series to truly have AAA budgets!
I’d be a bit shocked if there was somehow less content than launch NASB, so that thankfully won’t be an issue. Tho with the roster cuts, it probably hurts more for those who mained the cut characters (especially if they only knew how to use them). Content is always good to have, but the roster is arguably the most important part of a fighting game (or at the least usually is).

As for Mortal Kombat, them not doing an Armageddon is likely more fine toward the public since MK tends to keep the majority of the major characters in each game. Be it for the storyline or because they’re the top of the MK character list (both playable and kameos).

that and the ending probably gave them no choice but to soft reboot (?) the series

Trust me, I played Oblina, so I get it. But I don't see how some of these newcomers can't make up for the losses. Jimmy and Squidward were literally some of the biggest requests post-Universe Pass.

If this is real then it’s a a couple characters that makes sense and one that leaves me scratching my head. But if this is all the dlc they do then there’s cause for alarm.
I can see why this list is what it is, but it’s still a little dumb.
Zuko and iroh probably have a bigger presence in the live action avatar show. Leading to them being forced inclusions.

probably why rock steady is here too. Gotta promote the movie and tie in show.

Nah, Rocksteady would definitely be because they've wanted him for a while.

Shredder replaced Rocksteady during NASB1's development, and now Shredder's a boss so...

This is also a possibility, but still a weird trade of characters.

Well they aren't gonna have any money for a second season if all you do is complain they couldn't have a 36 character roster even with a AAA budget, I might add
I'm still gonna buy it. It's not like this is the ultimate deal breaker for me. I'm just letting my opinions be known so they know what to do with their money going forward.
Kinda hard to do that when the game is on Nintendo's system
I mean still. It would have been fun.

Still, Zuko and Iroh are both characters people wanted. Having two characters from the same show is weird, but it's not like they're characters nobody wanted. Rocksteady is weird because A: he's nowhere near the most wanted TMNT character, and B: why do him without Bebop?

Trip is a really cute character.

Too bad she’s only in the classic universe so she can’t be put in the IDW comic.

Oh well.

Some people merely didn’t want them compared to the majority

how much bigger can Zuko and Iroh get considering they’re both massive characters already

If only Sonic Forces didn't randomly retcon Classic Sonic to be from another dimension after it was established multiple times that he was just a younger Sonic.
watch Flynn work his magic and fix more issues from Forces

I mean. The Tailstube stuff on social media strongly hints to her existing in Modern with it saying Knuckels Chaotix, which features Mighty, is canon to mainline too, maybe they finally realized that was a stupid rule and we get her as a reoccuring character, certainly better than Mighty and Ray, that's for sure

So at TotK, about a month ago I did every single story beat besides Ganon.

A month later and I don't want to fight Ganon, despite putting in so many hours I feel like there's still a lot of stuff I want to get done in this game

Take of unknown temperature: I kinda dislike how Modern and Classic Sonic have become different characters/series. It was cool in Generations as a one off thing but they doubled down on it after and it's just kinda weird. I don't like that Mighty and Fang (etc.) don't exist in the modern games and Shadow and Silver (.etc) will probably never be in a 2D platformer. Imagine if SMB1 to World was just an alternate universe to the "main" universe and Bowser Jr and Rosalina were banned from being in 2D Platformers

I thought they've been talking like that limitation's been removed?
Even if they are, they'd have to make a modern Trip design and they just ain't gonna do that.

We don't see Mighty, Ray, Bean, Bark, or Fang in the IDW comics either. They get referenced, but they've been sequestered into the Classic segment of the franchise.

Plus the recent Scrapnik Island which heavily featured Mecha Sonic, a character who was only in Sonic 3. And the scripting in Frotntiers which talks about.. well just about everything.

When you beat Ganondorf, you’re taken back to right before the fight goes down. However, you gained a little symbol to confirm you beat the game, alongside a Ganondorf profile. So whatever weapons, items, foods, and hearts you lose during that fight will be right back with you.

Same thing happened with BOTW

I still want to see the classic Chaotix again too.
Heavy sadly died after a cocaine overdose in his apartment in San Francisco in 2013.

Bomb was last seen ranting about doing "something" about illegal immigration while heading towards the US-Mexican border with a lit fuse, and hasn't been seen since.

We're never gonna get that reunion :073:

You are a strange man.

Honestly I want every character in the Sonic series to have a classic and a modern design.
