Aw man the pillows disbanded : (

The FLCL soundtrack is the best anime soundtrack, just in general IMO.


35 years is a hell of a run

So multiple accounts and stories are coming out supporting the idea that Tony from Player First games is directly responsible for the games issues. Apparently he never listened to devs and picked and chose what he felt like fixing, only if it interested him.

WB apparently bought the company to get rid of him but haven’t been able to yet.

Also they allegedly want a Multiversus styled game but without Tony, so the idea may not be totally dead. This whole post breaking down everything met interest some. Especially SnakeFighter64 SnakeFighter64 since you mentioned hoping it could continue someway.

I’m gonna assume Ruby is due to WBD no longer owning RWBY after their dumbasses dropped Rooster Teeth, but I could’ve sworn Pickle Rick was made as a costume.

Ruby had her data updated after rooster teeth shut down. They seemed to
Still have the rights to her in some capacity afterwards.

Pickle Rick started as a costume but early on got promoted to a full character like nubia. Essentially a sort of echo fighter; where the original character is the base, but their moveset would have branched off and differed from their original base.

Oh ya, you mentioned Star Wars last night. I'm out of the loop, what did they do to Ventress? They were one of my favorite extended universe characters.

Basically she had a planned story arc in Clone Wars that was adapted into a book a while back that ended her story in a really beautiful way that is kind of unexpected for the character. So of course they threw it away for a Glup ****to appearance in Bad Batch, which I haven't watched so I can't tell you if it was good or not but makes me pissed either way

God every time I hear the name Glup ****to I think of Baby Yoda... and in this context now I'm imaging Baby Yoda did her in even though that's probably not what you meant lmao.

I don’t really want it to continue. What I really want is “new WB platform fighter that plays more like Smash (and Nick brawl and ROA etc) and isn’t free to play and has a way more well put together roster”

Would you have wanted the dexit controversy in paldea instead?
Click to expand...
Paldea at least tried something radically different, meaning it SwoShi would be judged by it's own merits more than the removal of the dex, with ScarVio also being praised for what it does right and different more than SwoShi as is

Looking back at it, SwSh should've had the national dex.

I get why it was removed but at the same time that was the wrong game to remove it all given how the final product ended up.

On the one hand, you’re right. A game like SwSh could’ve easily had the national dex.

On the other hand though, the removal of the national dex was always gonna be controversial. If they’d waited for a better game like Legends Arceus to do it, the game’s quality might have been overshadowed by the outrage from the fans.

By making SwSh the cut off point, it allowed the fandom to vent the worst of its frustrations on a decidedly mid game. So once games like PLA or even S/V came around people were more used to the idea of not having every Pokemon, and could judge them more on their own merits.

What they should've done is warn fans that future games may not have the national dex ahead of time instead of going dropping the nuke in the middle of the hype.

Also like I said before, it would've been more digestible for Arceus or SV given that those games broke the mold on the franchise formula. You know, the whole "higher quality games" statement and all that.

I agree with noipoi. Even though I like SwSh, that was the right game to do it on.

I’m torn because an explorers remake with a few special new special episodes thrown in would be amazing.

However our last new entry was on then 3ds…. A whole generation ago. With three generations since then, and a whole lot of potential for a new and exciting story.

So either way, please let us get a mystery dungeon game I guess.

When the posts say they want to do it again, no way in hell are they keeping the Multiversus name.

They might keep the same graphics/base but I doubt that even that would stay. If the game comes back at all, it’s going to be under completely unique branding because it’s too risky now to use the Multiversus branding.

They burned so many bridges, it needs a fresh start and arguably a fresh coat of paint.

100%. Just kind of sneaking the dex cut in during the middle of what’s supposed to be the game’s hype season was a bad move. They should’ve announced it before the game was even officially revealed.

Maybe they’ll change some of the gameplay issues that always got me with Multiversus (the lack of tilts and grabs, no final smashes, the perk system, some characters having basic abilities of theirs that would make them more fun to play being locked behind the perk system, the fact that every aspect of the game was online and you could even suffer from a disconnect in a story mode fight with bots only, WW using the sword and shield in place of her more iconic abilities and tools, so many characters having projectile normals, Shaggy’s moveset being entirely based on a ****ty meme, the PPG being one character that moves in a swarm, banana guard, nubia, and black Adam being in the game at all, Reindog existing, etc.)
