now I'm not saying Joker's reveal out of nowhere on launch night wasn't perfect but boy was he revealed too early

Imagine that he got revealed in the February Direct.

I can picture many people thinking at first that it was a trailer of a P5 port.

It was hype for when it was, Smash was the thing everybody was talking about then, but we’ve gotten too little info to make up for the time between announcement and release date. Sounds like another developer we know...

 

[Gentlepanda]

Didn't Sakurai say himself that Nintendo made him get the reveal out early?

they slapped together the trailer in a few weeks and it still looked better than P5 the animation

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I highly doubt Smash would have developers stupid enough to leave data of another character inside the alternative palettes/alt data of a different one

The 24th is on a Wednesday and Nintendo directs tend to be on Thursdays so it makes sense if they showcase that the day after top

Oh god no. Please don’t make us wait THAT long. We’ve already been waiting for almost 3 months! We need to see something!

Miiファイター格闘タイプのスープレックスを崖下のピーチ、デイジーにヒットさせると格闘Miiのストックが二個落ちるバグを発見しました。
再現性もあり、他のキャラでも試してみましたが、恐らくピーチ、デイジーにのみ発生するバグだと思われます。#スマブラSP #SSBU pic.twitter.com/iWYwHhensF

Mii Brawler sucks.

 

[staindgrey]

Hey staindgrey .

Looks like our worlds have collided:

What even...

I'm scared.

staindgrey would go nuts over the fact that the Saturn would be getting a new release

You know me so well.

*cries when remembering the anime studio behind P5 the animation did the crappy ass Ace Attorney anime and is unable ti make a single good anime but instead makes **** like 7 Deadly Sins*

I waited longer periods as a Godzilla, Crash and Fantastic Four fan; tbh.

Godzilla was literally dead for around a decade after Final Wars, and we got nothing from the franchise until the 2014 movie. The Fantastic Four were also in a same scenario for around 5 years until 2018.

I can understand why some people want news already, but I'm personally used to long waits.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

It’s weird that I’m much more of a Mortal Kombat fan than I am a Smash one, yet the wait for Smash is killing me and the wait for MK11 isn’t. I guess that’s what happens when your series is just doing the usual ****.

God I wish MK11 was more hype. I just can’t get into the excitement for this one. Like, nothing about it feels new or exciting. I really wish NRS were doing something else right now, like that Slasher movie Fighter everyone keeps telling them to make.

 

[TheMightyP]

You know, it's crazy to think that is has been over a year since Smash Ult. was revealed.

Also helps MK11 has like a consistent reveal trailer thing going on.

 

[staindgrey]

not illegal but yes definitively wack. I dated a lot of older women at age 17 and in hindsight that **** is hella creepy

My biggest age difference was eight years. There's definitely like a generational difference when you talk that's hard to get over. But at the same time I'm attracted to maturity and self confidence; way easier to find that going up in age rather than down lol.

But we were both out of high school. One time I met a girl at a party who I only found out a few hours later was barely 17; glad I didn't pursue that. She was flirting hard too.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Helps make it feel boring and samey.

If RelaxAlax is anything to go by, I am currently experiencing what it was like for Mario fans when everyone wanted to see a new sandbox game and they got 3D World instead.

The only difference is I am the only one in the MK fandom who is disappointed.

*Shrug* Nice thread title.

I still can’t believe Ultimate was revealed, dated and released in the same year.

Literally, same exact thing happened with Mewtwo. I have no idea why anyone's surprised. At least we got Piranha Plant as DLC as early as we did. Smash 4 had nothing like that. October-April with no news... at all.

I go to a toku forum and there's been some people who have been VERY unhappy with the fact they're keeping variations

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I should look on the bright side. Between Noipoi ’s fanfic and Raxxel ’s drawn death Hunger Games, I have a lot to look forward to right here on Smashboards!

Ouch no news for half a year. I remember watching the DLC stuff in 4 but I did not remember the drought going for that long, Yikes.

Ehhhhh while we had to wait even longer for Mewtwo, Mewtwo's a veteran, a character with an already established moveset. We don't know a SINGLE attack from Joker, meaning everyone already kind of knew what to expect

 

[Deleted member]

Glad that I went to sleep, hate it when its just an announcement for an announcement. Still, looking forward to see more of this new character. I feel her role is probably something along the lines of a protagonist of another story.

My MK hype died for me after 9, that game was pretty much one of the best revivals the franchise. I couldn't get much into X honestly, felt that the variations were kind of lame as they jut divided the moveset, the environments looked kinda dull, Brutalities were more entertaining than the Fatalities, but it was kinda fun to play and an improvement over 9. Still, they could've done the kids a lot better as they just felt derivative and in the cases of Kotal Khan and his followers they were underdeveloped.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

It’s CUSTOM variations. There has been no indication that there will be pre-set ones besides the default. It’s basically Custom Characters like in Smash.

 

[Schnee117]

Short reveal to release windows are great too.
Revealed early December, out in late April. Just shy of 5 months.

 

[staindgrey]

Then PlayStation is probably not a thing, either

They did inadvertently help create it, after all.

Videogames as we know them wouldn't exist; Nintendo singlehandedly revitalized the home videogame market after Atari crashed it.

Arcades probably would have lasted longer; Sega would have been in Nintendo's place in the home console market with the Sega Master System but without the visionaries at Nintendo; probably wouldn't have done well enough to generate larger investments and they would have put more money into their arcade machines. Sega only really existed as we know them because they were chasing Nintendo's money.

Portables would also take much longer to get out; the market simply wouldn't be there without the NES proving there was an untapped market. I have no idea who would have replaced Nintendo as the industry leader in the 80s and 90s. Sega just chased Nintendo, SNK was niche, Atari was basically dead, Sony only got into the industry because of failed projects with Nintendo and Sega, Microsoft only got into the industry to compete with Sony...

Damn. What WOULD gaming be like right now without Nintendo.

I'm aware as it was a thing in MKX and those people didn't like it then either, because variations take more time for development for single characters and means less characters. Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the only robot in MKX a character who could fill the niche of the others with variations? It comes at the cost of the characters and at the end of the day, people like characters

Guys guys guys imagine this, Nanako as a Phantom Thief

No. This is very different from MKX. But yeah. Triborg was a thing. I liked it, but I guess I’m weird. Liked Triborg, not the variations system. That was lame.

The name is tripping people up, they’re expecting one terrible thing when they’re actually getting a different terrible thing.

PlayStation All-Stars is the new Smash, in some otherworldly reality. If nothing really makes sense, I guess.

Absolute proof that Nintendo is the king of gaming, no matter what anyone else says

Honestly PSABR should have been a lot better. Just make health bars or the typical percentage thing and improve the roster and we've got ourselves a good game

It wouldn't be that much more dev time really.
Triborg was easier to make than making separate versions of Sektor, Cyrax, Smoke AND Cyber Sub-Zero.

Half of it is people being inappropriate and the other half is complaining about the drought

So not only was the Persona 5 R announcement lackluster, but now I got someone at work straight up calling me a baka, unironically.

God please strike me down.

My guess is that gaming as an industry would become way more focused on arcades through the 90s with a company like SNK tapping into the market. Then around the turn of the millenium home consoles would make a comeback as the technology is there.

Perfectly balanced.

As all things should be.
