At least they got the accent right this time...?

Steve Minecraft wielding a blocky gun and Banjo holding Kazooie firing eggs meet on the battlefield

Master Chief, Marcus Fenix, Crackdown Agent, Nathan Zachary, Steve, Banjo & Kazooie, Joanna Dark, Conker, Alan Wake, James Joyce, Sunset Overdrive player character, a Forza pit crew worker in a racing suit firing lug nuts, Cuphead and, if they play their cards right, Commander Shepard or one of the Left 4 Dead survivors for old times' sake.

You've got yourself a hero shooter right there.

 

[Roberk]

As much as I've been known to support Steve around these parts, I'm also super into the idea of Master Chief.

Yeah, Chief really is the definitive Microsoft rep imo. Everything else people want for a Microsoft rep like Banjo and Minecraft were just things that Microsoft bought when they were past their prime, Halo is something that Microsoft used to innovate a major genre and basically be the foundation of the Xbox line of consoles.

Mortal Kombat was on the Wii and DS. It's not necessarily a situation where they're long lost partners coming back after a long hiatus. Nintendo consoles were just underpowered for MK9 and then MKX.

I wouldn't say it's likely by any means considering that MK isn't popular in Japan and properly representing a game that focuses so hard on gore would be difficult. But it's definitely plausible in a reality where Bayonetta and Solid Snake are already in the game.

In general, I don't have a whole lot of experience with the MK games so I was unsure of the whole story behind the two company's relationship. I always figured it was more or less Netherrealm choosing not to develop their games for Nintendo platforms because it just wasn't the right demographic back then. As more of an onlooker, it seemed like a pretty big deal to me when they announced you could play a new MK game on a Nintendo console, so I just assumed it was. Granted, it makes sense that the hardware wasn't even capable of running the previous games but now the Switch can.

And yea, like I said, I still wouldn't say it's likely or anything. I know MK isn't as big in Japan, but a MK could appeal to Western audiences and fighting game fans too. MK is one of the biggest fighting games not represented yet at least in some capacity. Initially, I would've said Tekken was likely to get a rep too, but we've known for awhile that that is almost certainly not happening.

Conker has a crossbow

 

[staindgrey]

Lol, nope.
The Doom fandom ruined my view on the series so much that I feel nothing good for it.

With Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil I can actually feel kind of nostalgic doh.

DID SOMEONE SAY RESIDENT EVIL

honestly it's a pretty good mix of both the chibi (with a flipped pose) and the actual slightly-off HD model they use for cutscenes, right down to the chibi eye artstyle

Spoiler: Plot twist

Sakurai actually represents anime in Smash, but his Kirby bias makes him believe that Kirby is the only anime rep Smash needs, with Goku feeling inferior to Kirby in his eyes.

 

[Good Guy Giygas]

They actually had to do that while developing Cuphead. It's insane.

Wow, that made me a little sad. But I'm glad everything worked out and the game did well.

after cloud, bravely sits comfortably in the realm of plausible but not quite believable smash IPs

and that's probably where it'll stay until the time for the next SE rep in smash 6 comes knocking

Then he adds an actual Kirby character, but it's Computer Virus from Kirby Superstar (basically a window of Windows 3.1 hovering through the stage).
The trailer shows that for down smash, a massive dragon appears and stomps on the ground dealing huge damage.
He says that it's not from the Kirby anime, but Kirby is still anime so it counts as anime.

Well it's still a stretch to put it on the Switch, which is underpowered like the Wii U was but much easier to program for. WB definitely put in the effort to put MK on the Switch because of how much the Switch is selling, much like how they forced Armageddon onto the Wii despite being inferior hardware because they wanted the sales. So it's not insignificant at all.

But yeah. Deadly Alliance and Deception were both released on Gamecube, Trilogy was released on N64, 1-3 were on Super Nintendo. So the only games to skip Nintendo consoles were MK9, MKX, MKvDC and MK4. And no one wants MK4 anyway.

i'm actually surprised they remembered to include that one tiny hair that splits off from the big one and covers her eye if it's fake

it's a very weird attention to detail and honestly a pretty good model

 

[Deleted member]

DID SOMEONE SAY RESIDENT EVIL

I did, yeah.
Cool series with a good track of games and characters. I haven’t played the games but at the same time plan to pick RE Remake when I am able to.
Overall, RE is great, as I said in my past post.

Spoiler: Now, put me back on the floor before I summon my two own Mr.Xs hidden inside this window.

 

[wildvine47]

Yeah it being Agnes alone is enough for me to discount it at this point. There’s clearly some crazy dedicated mega-fan out there who keeps faking her over and over again. Maybe next time they should pick a better character to obsess over. Perhaps one from a company that doesn’t have at least 10 other megahit franchises that’ll get represented before a character from a D-list franchise does.

 

[Deleted member]

Letting myself having my view ruined by a fanbase would have made me left the Smash series a long time ago.

Problem is, the part of the Doom fanbase I met literally mocked and forced me to play Brutal Doom, 2016 and Doom 2 in ways that just weren’t right. They also treated me like a waste for not beating them on the hardest difficulty.

In the end, they made me find the games repetitive and ok at best.

I like the model, but the pose looks pretty undynamic and simple. It's fake to me, but I wanna see the drawing the person made.

I mean Isabelle, Ryu, male Corrin and Chrom’s poses are a bit undynamic so Agnès having a static pose is possible

Look at her official art too
