I think the term has resulted in an anti-Smash Bubble bubble, where people act like the public will refuse to accept any character that isn't Steve/Sans/Jonesy, ignoring how Roy's fanbase is entirely from Smash.
My problem of the bubble is not the characters themselves but the fanbase around them.-You know,‘s inclusion in the series can really easy to hate because you could find her boring or harmless but when you get down to it, I don’t think having her in is any different then someone like say
-I’m risking a flame debate for this but I think this whole “Smash Bubble” thing feels like a way for people to hate on popular characters who get talked about too much especially since the term doesn’t even exist anywhere except here.
I agree that hardcore fans aren’t the only ones that matter to Nintendo but people seem jump on others for wanting Banjo/Geno/Isaac instead of a recent/casual pick but they never seem to actually explain and state what kind of characters the general public are truly requesting.
I’d hardly consider picks like Sora, Bandana Dee, and Rayman in the Bubble because those kinds of characters are widely known and popular outside of this community.
I know we’re just an extremely vocal minority as far as the internet goes but I’m curious to know what exactly kind of requests those 2 million people are making so we can get a better view outside of this alleged “Smash Bubble”
-I wish Sakurai just stuck to Retro again like
I can use this to segway into an unpopular opinion, topic adjacent to what you just said.-I wish Sakurai just stuck to Retro again like
Oh my god, yes to this. All of my yes.
That's something people so often forget. To pull a Mark Twain quote that both my marketing and statistics professors have brought up: "There's lies, damned lies, and then there's statistics."
That was me, in a thread Delzethin made.
Bringing back Rock Smash is not helping matters if Charizard's entire moveset has been made worse than it was in Smash 3DS / Wii U.
Maybe I'm just an idiot, but I've never heard that term used before. Could you enlighten me? You seem to be on to a really good point and I want to be a part of this.
"Bubbles" in this sense refer to insular communities, with little to no interactions with more general populations. Like for example, in the Kirby "bubble" Marx is one of the most iconic Kirby villains there is, instantly recognizable, but to say, a more general populace, he might have trouble getting recognized. The Smash Bubble too refers to one surrounding popular Smash characters like Isaac and Ashley who aren't as popular generally.
I don't see the logic behind that someone being in "for no reason" when every character has their fans regardless on how often they are used, that being said I'm very satisfied with the roster already and unlike many others who want more characters I personally don't think they need to go overboard with dlc. I honestly would be fine if they stopped after the five we know we're getting.
"Blown way up" as in "reached a point of popularity that's maybe half of the other major Nintendo franchises represented in the game which have far less characters than FE does, if we're being generous." It's got more characters in the game than the Legend of Zelda, one of the most significant and influential video game franchises in the history of the medium. You're not seriously going to look me in the eye and tell me that FE is as significant and recognized a franchise as Pokemon? The 80-year-old down the street who's never played Pong knows what Pokemon is.
It also ignores how many times FE Heroes has been downloaded, and how much profit it's made.
Neither would play like Incineroar.
Considering Delz has done nothing but go out of his way to **** on Incineroar since long before the reveal and makes up all sort of bs up in regards to him just to make his most wanted look good instead, I wouldn't take any "theory" he crafts up seriously.
How? Smash has never really EVER been this 'hall of fame' as you say. From the very beginning, picks such as Captain Falcon, Ness and Jigglypuff (anywhere except Japan, anyway) made people scratch their heads. Almost nobody had heard of the Cap'n, he wasn't even playable in FZ at the time and was a manual mascot. Earthbound had some cult status, but in the grand scheme was still totally unknown. Melee brought forth more of this with characters such as Marth, Roy (at the time, they were about as niche as you could be for a Western Audience) and Game & Watch.
Something about the Chorus Kids is that their trio nature could represent the smallest number of beats for rhythm in the RH minigames; their trio appearance and attacks could represent a "rhythm" fighter the best, especially since they're singing characters. Either that or some general character to represent all the minigames ala G&W or Duck Hunt. Maybe Tap Trial girl, but even as the cover girl her appearance isn't consistent?
I disagree. People buy the game to see Mario fight Sonic, and that's what it boils down to. That's where its popularity always has stemmed from, and continues to stem from. That will always be the coolest thing about this game and it will always be what sells units.
Doesn't matter what most people buy it for, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the way Sakurai / Hal / Nintendo / BN / Etc. has went about shaping the roster of the Smash games. At the end of the day, that's the biggest factor. Rather or not I agree with any of the decisions made, it is their game and these have been the decisions they've consistently made in said game since day one.
And those characters are in.
