No. The whole point of a Nuzlocke is that your first encounter in an area is all you're getting. It's only choice if you want to go after gift Pokemon

Dude.

That's one of three main rules of a nuzlocke. You can only catch the first Pokémon you encounter on each route.

Oooh, thank you.
Now I get it.

 

[Diem]

Screw it, watch the final four characters be Chrono, Conker, Dante, and Artorias.

 

[osby]

I respect your opinion but I disagree with that so, so much.

In Fact my opinions are the exact opposite of this, I would prefer Banjo over Steve and MC.
And Geno is the opposite of boring, he is the most interesting Mario Character in my opinion and even outside of it his situation is incredibly interesting.

I can't say I don't understand why you would say that he's boring though as he only appeared in one game and that's it his personality and character hasn't progressed or changed for 20 years unlike so many other Mario Characters.

He's boring in that game too, though. Mallow was a lot more interesting than him, due to having an actual character arc instead of being, an admittedly unique, exposition fairy and walking plot point.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I honestly think Geno just gets denied by Sakurai himself. Sort of like sukapon or Mach rider. Sakurai wanted them and thought they could work but went with someone else. Granted the former is because of the jumping problem, but sukapon as far as I know is because Sakurai just went with ice climbers. I think his mind just constantly changes. Genos non playable status hurts as a huge supporter.

I won’t change my mind on one thing. That’s very different then not listening at all.


I think the argument that a company is greedy and can’t listen is stupid. People said they same about square and were completely wrong. I have no reason to believe they can’t be change and we really can’t argue that they won’t be open to it when there’s no way to predict that. So why bother?

Sakurai in Brawl: "I wanted to add Geno as a playable character"
Sakurai in Smash 4: "I wanted to add Geno as a playable character"
Sakurai in Ultimate: *Has Geno be a Legend status Spirit, something mostly reserved for high fan requests*
Geno: *Has been ignored by Square in even the Mario and Square crossover games like Fortune Street and Mario Hoops*

You: "Wow this means Sakurai may have chosen to not include him!"

 

[Deleted member]

I know that, but you do not choose the Pokemon who you catch for a Nuzlocke?

so said the original pokemon hard mode comic

 

[Gentlepanda]

Artorias

where were you when the best timeline hit?

 

[Deleted member]

If we were to get any Mario RPG characters, I'd want Paper Mario or Fawful. Especially Fawful, that dude's hilarious.

>Sakurai

Geno was actually a character I wanted to include as a fighter. He has a gun for an arm, and just seems like he'd fit absolutely perfectly into Smash.

I was hoping I'd be able to put him in as far back as Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but unfortunately that never ended up materializing...He's incredibly popular. Even though he's an old character, we keep getting loads of votes and requests for us to put him in the game

>Also Sakurai
Doesn't include Geno in the game because he can't come up with a moveset (Sukapon) or he isn't popular/widely known enough (Takamaru).

Are you thinking about your points? Or are you just spouting uninformed opinions?

Refusing to change your mind is the same thing as refusing to listen as far as I'm concerned. Yeah, you'll "listen" to my points, but if you refuse to keep an open mind you might as well be covering your ears.

Also, while I would typically agree the "stingy company" argument falls short, this is Disney we're talking about. They're THE Mega-Corporation, and they are proven to be stingy and difficult to work with (see: Internal struggles to get the Keyblade into Disney Infinity, tampering with Kingdom Hearts 3, fighting against copyright law to keep Mickey Mouse out of the public domain, fighting against historians to build Disney's America, etc. etc. etc.).

Crono joining Smash would probably be the smartest decision Square has ever made in the last decade. Too bad we still won't get nothing from the series.

Which reminds me, it's that time again to post THAT trailer.

why would you do this to me

 

[Knight Dude]

(not biased btw) Probably Zero. MVCI did it well but that's a traditional fighter. In smash I'm not sure how you'd make a moveset for him without feeling like something important's being left out.

Zero's only okay to me, but I'd imagine. Like most playable characters in Mega Man there's a **** ton to pull from so who's to say.

B - Rangeki
Side B - Shippunga(that Dash attack from X4)
Up B - Ryuenjin
Down B - Ice Stab
Up Smash - That grounded Fire attack from X6
Forward Smash - Raijin from X4
Down Smash - Ground Punch

Geo could have
B - Mega Buster
Side B - Million Kick
Up B - Typhoon Dance(Think Meta Knight's Tornado, but it goes up)
Down B - I'm thinking his Electric Gun and it multi hits
Forward Smash - Beast Slash
Up Smash - Fire Uppercut(I forgot the name), maybe have Omega do it for him
Down Smash - Hammer or Shockwave.

 

[Metal Shop X]

I be That Guy who want KOS-MOS in Smash and leave it at that.

 

[Raxxel]

Disney is insanely strict, yeah. They've tampered with the marketing for MvC:I too, they specifically demanded the Marvel characters not get hurt within the trailers for the game.

 

[Z25]

Because there is literally nothing about it that appeals to me. I've even decided to watch 2 separate Let's Plays and they haven't convinced me.

Again, good chance it's PR. PR means you have to make yourself look good

I'm pretty sure "Having one of the most iconic characters in video game history in your video game movie" is a better bargain than "One of many nonsensical guest characters" but ok.

And I'd need a source but I'm not going to bother, Disney managed to force one of their shows to not have a man and a woman even ****ing touch eachother when they found out the writers wanted a romance subplot

I don’t get how the later relates to games. But if we are talking their tv censorship. It’s bad but also likely being run by a different branch.

I guess to be fair they were against gays and now they kind of embrace it in their shows.

also sora just doesn't make much sense for nintendo to advertise if that's really their objective with the list they gave sakurai

joker/erdrick are for P5S and DQ11S if the best buy listing for persona is to be believed, whereas i'm fairly confident KH3 isn't getting ported to switch any time soon

All the important kh games are on Nintendo consoles. It’s also rumored and likely that we get a port of those 1. Whatever and 2. Whatever collections

Unfortunately I have to agree. Hell, even Kingdom Hearts 3 was tampered with by Disney. MatPat actually made a very good theory about it:

I do believe this theory. But would this more be that they censored frozen’s portrayal, not sora’s?

 

[Shroob]

This discussion hurts my small-peanut sized man brain.

It'd be quicker for you to just read the thread, man.

It was a rhetorical question.

I think EXE would be pretty cool. Dude has so many chips I'm not even sure where you would start but with **** like bombs, cannons, swords and crazy anime transformations there's bound to be potential in there.

All the important kh games are on Nintendo consoles.

Nintendo consoles handhelds have OG Chain of Memories (kinda important to the story), 358/2 Days (A side story expanding on Roxas), Re:Coded (Sets up one plot point and nothing else), and Dream Drop Distance (important to the story). Of those, 2 were remade, with the "definitive editions" being on Playstation Consoles

All of the games actually important to the series (Birth by Sleep, 1, Chain of Memories, 2, Dream Drop Distance, and 3) are all on Playstation consoles. Nintendo consoles have never received a Kingdom Hearts game at all, and you can get the entire series on Playstation and not Nintendo.

Do you even know what you're talking about?

I do believe this theory. But would this more be that they censored frozen’s portrayal, not sora’s?

You don't get it. This shows how bad Disney can be to work with, and how strict they are with their IPs.

 

[Diem]

Disney is insanely strict, yeah. They've tampered with the marketing for MvC:I too, they specifically demanded the Marvel characters not get hurt within the trailers for the game.

I think I recall that being an unconfirmed rumor, though I can't say for certain and can't find where that came from.

Most evidence I've seen points to Capcom causing the most problems. MvC:I apparently had less budget than the Street Fighter V's DLC did, hence its overall poor production value and reused roster, and the higher-ups at Capcom not listening to the developers' concerns about the game. Given how Capcom's fighting game division hasn't been on its A-game for a while, including with Street Fighter, it adds up.

Though I wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of interference from Marvel/Disney that complicated things further.

It means Disney wants control and as others have already pointed out, they've been very controlling in multiple video game projects already.

While the show I'm talking about DID have a character who was planned to be a lesbian, the one I mean is between a heterosexual couple.

Not entirely true, they censored Star VS having multiple gay couples kiss in the background of a kiss convention or something and Alex Hirsch has been vocal about his frustrations of Disney not allowing him to have LGBT characters in Gravity Falls

Sakurai in Brawl: "I wanted to add Geno as a playable character"
Sakurai in Smash 4: "I wanted to add Geno as a playable character"
Sakurai in Ultimate: *Has Geno be a Legend status Spirit, something mostly reserved for high fan requests*
Geno: *Has been ignored by Square in even the Mario and Square crossover games like Fortune Street and Mario Hoops*

You: "Wow this means Sakurai may have chosen to not include him!"

First off, I’m pretty sure his brawl quote was more acknowledging Geno and saying he briefly considered it. Smash 4 was outright wanting it.

He could have changed his mind thinking someone was better for the game at the time and still wanted to do Geno eventually.

You misunderstand.

I never said a thing about why Sakurai didn't include him. I said that sukapon and Mach rider have been considered to and wanted but Sakurai changed his mind. Hell banjo was someone he almost added to melee and decided against it. He can still want a character and have a reason for not adding them.

Honestly imo if Sakurai didn’t decide against Geno, it was Nintendo. They likely would want to push another character. I don’t think square would care if they got paid and still had shots at being paid again for dlc. With Geno we will likely never know why he’s not in.

And if spirits are being used as evidence. why the hell is my boy bandanna Dee not a legendary spirit. Although that’s likely bias.

As I said yeah Disney can be bad but if anyone can get them it’s gonna be Sakurai

Well I'll have to disagree there cause Geno is way more interesting than Mallow, He did do some exposition and all but that wasn't his only Character he had a personality and Story.

His Personality was way more interesting than Mallows with him being a Stoic and Serious yet Dorky person. The Stoic and Serious part can be seen around the forest maze area when you first meet the guy and his Dorky side shows a bit when you fight Exor/Smithy.

He has a way more interesting personality than Mallow in my opinion and while Mallow has more of an arc than him Geno is the very heart and soul of SMRPG, He's one of the most important Characters in the game (Second to Mario) though He has done some exposition but who's to say that's a bad thing? If you were Geno and suddenly came out of nowhere you would need to do some exposition too.

Even his Design is way cooler than Mallow's with him being a Star Spirit-Possessed Doll who has lasers and magic, that's freakin' cool and the Mario Series hasn't seen something like that ever since.

I respect your opinion but I disagree.

>Looking at the MvsC:I roster's symmetry and seeing the Marvel side cut into the Capcom side

While I really don't want to, I kinda have to agree with Maximillian Dood and the gang and that Marvel VS. Capcom is just straight up dead. Yeah, that re-release of UMVC3 was AMAZING, but if Infinite has shown anything, it's that it'll no doubt be ****ed up by Disney regardless. That Fox deal is dead, that's good. We can have X-Men characters and Fantastic Four again, probably. But do you REALLY trust Disney?

Capcom just needs to make Capcom VS. Capcom or some other fighting game. In my heart, I want Tatsunoko VS. Capcom 2, but the licensing and copyright management and cost would be ****ing astronomical.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Since Sony owns the publishing rights, they could absolutely bring in another studio to continue the franchise. I'd be interested in seeing where they'd take it.

But Ninja Theory has actually never made a sequel to anything, fun fact. Kung Fu Chaos, Heavenly Sword, Enslaved, Hellblade and DmC never got sequels. One of them for good reason.

That's interesting. If they do it for artistic reasons then that's them really sticking their ground.

I actually like DmC. Would love to see someone else come on for a sequel. Same with Heavenly Sword. I don't know if Platinum would be the right choice but they're the first ones that spring to mind.

I guess I can see why Disney wouldn’t want gay couples on their shows. One way or another some Christian mom is gonna get pissed. Not saying it’s justified, though.
