Microsoft may own Mojang now, but the definition of Indie means that the game was developed without any funding from another major company. Minecraft and Steve were created over a decade ago with only the funding from Mojang itself. While yes, today Minecraft is getting bankrolled by Microsoft, the truth is that the character Steve had Indie origins and will always be an Indie icon.
Assuming you're talking about the banjo talk, to be fair, the guy who's teasing it is who teased Smash being in last year's March direct with the same "smashing good time" phrase. That being said Banjo Kazooie is literally one of the most boring choices possible imo
This. I hate it how sometimes you can literally see the pixels coming off of fighters in their victory animations. It drives me crazy.
Is this really unpopular tho? I'm more interested in a playable Giegue and Masked Man, my self included but Porky has proven him self to be one of many reps of a mech fighter.
I kept it vague because the character you can apply this post to changes every other week.
Oh no that's a different argument all together and I completely agree
This feels like a Ridley 2.0 counter argument. He fits all three of the criteria you listed. Just because other characters also have that potential or represent something doesn't inherently mean that Porky doesn't.
I've also seen the specific events used by detractors to highlight specific characters are not coming and take victory laps like character reveals were ever going to happen at some of these points. Which is annoying (I also find the supposed perfect timing arguments equally annoying. Smash has rarely coincided with other releases and the only real example I can think of is Isabelle and Animal Crossing Switch... and maybe Duck Hunt releasing on Virtual Console with Duck Hunt's proper trailer?).
(Curse you Vergeben!)
I really like Ashley as a character, and I completely agree. Arguably, she doesn't even have enough screen time to make a full moveset, much less a full character.
As someone who is a diehard Crash fan and doesn't like Banjo games, Crash has almost nothing in terms of interesting moveset potential. Banjo's not a whole lot better but I'd say he has at least a little more to draw from just due to the number of moves in the Banjo games.
Is this counting the games like Mind over Mutant or whatever? Never actually played anything of Crash beyond 3 levels of Warped so I'm genuinely asking
I wouldn't say Crash is devoid of anything interesting to draw from. His entire aesthetic pulls in a Looney Tunes styled zaniness, which can translate to very exaggerated movements and attacks (for lack of a better term, fighting like a cartoon). His spin would be a multiuse utility move, and beyond that he has things like the Wumpa Bazooka, the jetpack, various types of crates (each of which would effect the stage in different ways), as well as Aku Aku, which could either be his Final Smash, or a built in mechanic that enhances Crash's power if certain things are fulfilled.
Oh god that's giving me Jojo ASB flashbacks, the Steel Ball Run trio are pretty much garbage if they can't get a hold on the holy corpse parts and they can be knocked out of them too
Off the top of my head, doesn't he have various things and power ups like a rocket launcher that instead fires a fruit, a jetpack, and so on?
I'm pretty sure they did it that way because they wanted the reveal of a new Smash game to not be completely obvious.
It played a major role in the Crash 2 boss fights, including the final boss. Crash 2 was also the first Western game to sell one million copies in Japan. That's hardly arbitrary.
Smash 4 literally only had 1 but ok I guess?
or ?). I'm glad both the original and echo is sharing the spotlight for a change.
What you want is costumes, not echoes.I'm glad they patched Daisy's turnips to function exactly as Peach. I'm tired of seeing echoes overshadowing the original and vice versa (when's the last time you saw
What I want are echoes that aren't straight upgrades (or downgrades) from the original. If they can't balance them properly than I much prefer them to be the same.
