Take our OP, Mr. Nintendo. His most wanted character is Skull Kid, and his least is Geno. I guarantee you there are other people who would be pissed to see it happen.
I hate repeating myself but… If it's not a huge amount of people actually known for that, I don't think Sakurai would care. Unless there is a poll somewhere that lets me know that there are thousands of people who would get pissed off about that, i really don't see how this specific case would be relevant to Nintendo/Sakurai, specially with that many random characters involved in newcomer reveals (i also remembered cap. falcon in the robin lucina trailer, nobody complained there either). The cases for this to be an issue really are more vague than you think. But i respect the idea of some people being pissed off about it, i just don't think that would stop the company from doing it anyways since it's still a crossover game in the end. (also, if geno gets his ass kicked, i don't see how the OP wouldn't like that even more then, lmao, and maybe link would be around in that trailer, not just those 2)
I didn't see anyone bothered about it with Luigi in the simon reveal or mario and megaman in the ridley one… but ok i will admit that there is indeed a charm in revealing a character along characters of the same series, that IS true for sure.
It's not my intention that you'd feel trapped into a corner here cause everybody is quoting you nor do i want this super thread to be hijacked by the subject but... one last thing (for the sake of discussing) :
Technically his last cameo appearance was Smash 4 which was only 4 years ago. So it hasn't been that long
Exactly. I mean, if characters are dying, would Skull kid killing Geno make you happier than not getting Geno at all in the trailer? XD let's be honest here.
That's a fair point. My point stands though! That costume was only attainable after Cloud was already in and they had reached a deal with Square.
Ok so maybe Skull kid fighting Young link and then geno comes to aid at the very end as something extra to the reveal makes more sense then? Cause i would be happy with that too, if the other idea is too troublesome. And if someone has to die/get their spirit taken again, then Young link can already fit that role or something.
I feel like if they WERE to announce both Skull Kid and Geno in one trailer, that would be the best way to do it.
There is? I thought it was only Ganondorf and a cucco? :O
Yeah I mean some leaks (probably fake ones) on 4chan kept repeating that idea of skull kid fighting young link (one said toon link for some reason) and then geno appears. So who knows, maybe that's how it turns out… I wonder what other character we could get revealed instead of geno, alongside skull kid… maybe tetra or impa? a 100% zelda trailer would be pretty sick too.
I feel indifferent. I see your creative thought tho.
I mean, it's not terrible, but then won't Geno fans feel cheated out of a trailer?
Well… I guess I see your point now… two heavily requested newcomers should shine alike
That's what I was saying in the very beggining actually. The trailers are amazing and we are gonna be fighting random character in-game afterwards anyway lmao. I honestly don't see the issue of revealing them together that much, but i still understand those who feel bad about it. I personally don't think it's a big deal at all, the amount of cases of people being that touchy about it instead of celebrating the inclusion of the character are very scarce anyway for Sakurai or Nintendo to care, cause they know they are making us happier more than anything over little details like that.
Having the one and only Happy Mask salesman saying it could be great.
Sorry if I was rude or anything. That was the point I was trying to make in the first place though. It just feels to me that sharing the spotlight isn't fair to either character.
Well this… convinced me…yeah now I want the reveal to only focus on newcomers separated from each other. It opens up more creative ideas for cinematics that do more justice to the newcomer alone , after all that's the point of their reveal.
I agree. While I have been wondering what exactly it would be Like to have another character revealed alongside Skull Kid, he does deserve his own cinematic reveal. I also had something else to say not specifically linked to your post, but my brain fried, so I'll update when I remember.
The only possible LoZ echos that come to my mind are Skyward sword Impa and Toon Ganondorf...
Don't forget Hilda!
Hilda for Zelda. Maybe Tetra for Toon Link? Possibly Ravio for Young Link? I dunno. I think Impa is the best bet though.
I love you for suggesting Kafei… he is my second most favorite character after Skull kid from the MM game… I would legit cry of happiness if Kafei made it in.
Kafei! Yes! I thought of him earlier today and then totally forgot!
Zelda has a Hilda color scheme in one of her alts. Since Dark Samus colors and Chrom colors were removed from Samus and Ike alts, I'm pretty sure she will not be a playable character.
Actually she doesn't, she does however have her old lady alt from previous games return that people often mistake for Hilda
It's not really based on Hilda though:
Nice. I haven't thought of those.
Saria, that is a interesting one I haven't heard of before, it would be unexpected but welcomed.
To work around the staff issue, they'll probably just give Hilda some of Palutena's animations/moves that involve her staff (such as Palutena's forward tilt).
I mean, if Chrom can be some kind of weird Echo hybrid, I'm sure they can do that for Hilda, too.
