It's not a simple rehash. It's just literally the same coding. My guess is they didn't have the extra money to re-license an all new actor so paid to reuse the assets at a cheaper price. It sucks, but at least the stage is seeing one of its most noted uses. Just not as good as it should be.
You just "don't know" the characters. I feel like this, to. I was happy for Isabelle and Incineroar but I didn't grow up with them like I did with basically K. Rool and Ridley.
For the life of me, I'll still never be able to find a good reason why Home Run Contest is gone and why All Star mode was reduced to not being All Star Mode anymore.
First one: Time constraints?
The opposite of this is the unpopular opinion.
All Star mode was complete garbage in Smash 4. It only would have been worse in Ultimate. The mode is outdated due to the roster size.
I though All Star was fun is Brawl, but I agree that it would be way too long to survive in Ultimate. If they had pre-selected modes like Classic in Ultimate or they let you choose like Classic in Smash 4, it could have been better.
That was Smash For in a nutshell for me.
I know this is an answer, but posting this on here is kinda funny, considering how wildly popular it is.
That's the interesting thing about these fanservice games. Not everyone is a fan of everything.
Same for me, to be honest. But to be fair, I already got most of the characters that got me really excited back with Smash 4, with Shulk, Lucina, Robin, Palutena and Rosalina. The only character that I really wanted for Ultimate were Inkling and Elma, and the former was already confirmed along with the game itself, while the latter. . . well, I'm still banking on the absurd lack of Xenoblade Chronicles X content in Ultimate being because of her being planned as DLC. Still, characters like Ridley, K. Rool and Simon were a fun surprise and are pretty fun to play as for me.
Saaaaaaaame. I was left disappointed without a Kirby or Xenoblade newcomer.
I need to vent so I'll respond to this late. Sakurai, as great as a developer he is, he has an incredible bias towards western like IP's. DK should have as much representation equivalent with FE. And even if this is coming from my bias of wanting Cranky Kong, DK's IP is legitimately as old as the Mario series. You can argue Cranky or Funky Kong possibly lacks a type of significance but you can't ignore Dixie Kong. We were extremely lucky to get Ridley and K. Rool.
FACTS.
How about we give FE 10 (but Roy and Chrom ain't one of 'em because **** your semi-clones) and we give Zelda, DK and Kirby 15 each?
I mean....yeah? Although I can't imagine how many fighters a SSB game with those proportions would have......
I respectfully disagree with you. Check out the fanbases for both DK and Kirby, there are plenty of heavily demanded and debated fighter requests from each series. Especially considering their relevance to Nintendo and how often some characters keep appearing in their respective games.
I think what he's trying to say (could be wrong) is that DK and Kirby aren't as character-focused as Fire Emblem is. While Fire Emblem has sold less in total by a significant margin, it's a series whose main appeal is interactions between multiple characters, and almost every game in the 15 game series is set in a completely different world with a new cast. DK and Kirby always star DK and Kirby, with only a small handful of recognizable side characters and villains. FE has enough memorable characters to fill a gotcha mobile game to the brim.
With that Logic, Mario and Bowser should be the only Mario characters since they both appear as major story characters in most Mairo games (with Luigi almost absent), Peach is just a damsel in distress, and most others play little relevance. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying maybe you're overlooking some things. Yes, most Kirby games star the 4 major characters (
and Dee), but plenty of others appear and reappear every now and then, with a dozen characters appearing as the dream friends, making playable appearances (and also being canon). They could (and should) use this as a good reason to add more Kirby characters, perhaps one from each wave (including Dee).
The times I did state my opinion in the past about it, I usually got shot down immediately. Or was usually hit with a "IF YOU DONT LIKE IT, DONT DO IT."
Those people........yeesh. Although it's hard to get new VA's for something like that, I wish they could have at least put more effort into it.
So he'd be heavier, so what? BK wouldn't work as anything else, the two literally share the same sword style. And as Ken and Ryu as well as Marth and Lucina showed, there can be tiny differences between echoes. Ken runs faster. Lucina doesn't have Marth's tipper. BK would just be heavier than Ike.
This is more for Kirby if I'm just going by development time. Dixie Kong is in your face obvious and Cranky Kong has unique qualities MADE for Smash. I really think you should do some research on this character. Funky Kong would completely rid DK's neglected status.
Wait, who called DK neglected? Obviously Sakurai holds DK to a higher standard (hence only having 3 fighters) but Nintendo as a whole still loves DK.
Donkey Kong is neglected in Smash. K. Rool wouldn't have been possible without the ballot. "See Dixie Kong still not included"
Bandana Dee and Magolor placed 4th and 7th in the ballot. If DK is neglected, then Kirby is triple neglected.
Fair, fair. Can't forget about the possibility of free DLC.
I knew Black Knight's chances as an Echo were 50/50, but I still find it really lame that we got Chrom over him. Chrom wasn't like Ridley where he had issues, it's just he had nothing new to bring to the table. Black Knight, while still a
I actually been having this opinion in my head for awhile, I just didn't know how to word it. Haha I have a love-hate relationship with Final Smashes because its like they provide easy wins against opponents you could have otherwise beat but they are entertaining and ultimately changed Smash for the better. I do find myself missing the good days of less tensed none dramatic battles in Smash 64/Melee tho, just classic shenanigans.
Yeah, basically how I feel too, in addition to what I said about Awakening being over-repped.
Eight Spirits, three songs, and two Mii Costumes is "far too much" to you?
