Same here, man.Oh, that's cool. I didn't know that. I wish he was playable too, though.

Does ARMS have the kiss of death because of Spring Man's assist trophy? I found it odd that there isn't a single ARMS music track in the game. Even Wonderful 101 got that in the Wii U Smash Bros.
To be fair, as mentioned before, there aren't many Nintendo options that would sell well as DLC & aren't already ruled out in some way.That's disappointing. I play Smash for the Nintendo characters but if any game character is on the menu the less known Nintendo characters will never get picked. I doubt we'd get some of the characters we have now if that was the case earlier in the series.
Shin Megami Tensei has long running ties to Nintendo and Persona 5 is the highest selling game from the series with Joker easily being the best designed protagonist you could pick. Joker is basically a rep for SMT as a whole the way Cloud is for Final Fantasy.I wish that the bar for third party characters would remain high. All-time iconic characters only, like PAC-MAN, Ryu, Mega Man, Sonic, Snake, Cloud, etc. I feel like Bayonetta lowered the bar a lot but sort of gets a pass because she is kind of a Nintendo character now. But Joker is a bridge too far for me, I don't think he meets any of the criteria for inclusion.
Exactly. I just wonder if we would get picks like Ness these days.To be fair, as mentioned before, there aren't many Nintendo options that would sell well as DLC & aren't already ruled out in some way.
I really don't think you people are interpreting this quote correctly, but I know it's not a battle I'm going to win
in all honesty I was a bit suspect on the snippets in the OPI really don't think you people are interpreting this quote correctly, but I know it's not a battle I'm going to win
All of the anti goku responses are making me gag. Especially when theyre asking for characters like 1% of the gaming population cares about.
I like this. I really think Ultimate could have the legs to stew and really be mastered over a larger period of time. Besides, I'm loathe to think about passing this up for the next Smash which probably won't be as ambitious cast-wise.Sakurai will always prioritize Smash Bros. if Nintendo asks about making one, but he doesn't guarantee that he'll be on the project forever. Currently, he's ready to kick back and wait another 10 years before another one
Maybe on Day 1, but not as DLC.Exactly. I just wonder if we would get picks like Ness these days.
The mother fanbase would have probably made enough noise to get it as a meme similar to ridley during smash melee or brawl, which would have helped him get in. While small, you can't find fanbases as dedicated as them imo.Exactly. I just wonder if we would get picks like Ness these days.
Earthbound was 5 years old at the time of Ness' inclusion. Old, but not too obscure a pick given the Hal connection. Plus he was intially supposed to be Lucas, so that would have been another Corrin-esque promotional choice had EB64 not been delayed and canned.Exactly. I just wonder if we would get picks like Ness these days.
Bar you talking about what Sakurai said in Japanese originally. I think I know what you are alluding to and I agree lol. Cause I think the actual important statement from Sakurai was the second sentence of the last quote in the OP.I really don't think you people are interpreting this quote correctly, but I know it's not a battle I'm going to win
Said it before and I'll say it 10,000 more times.
-Goemon
-Sir Arthur from Ghouls n Ghosts
-Billy and Jimmy from Double Dragon
-Bill and Lance from Contra
-Ryu Hayabusa from not only the classic Ninja Gaiden, but the modern ones too
Those deserve it most.
Not a great comparison since SMT is super niche compared to FF. I don't think SMT is big enough to warrant any rep at all.Shin Megami Tensei has long running ties to Nintendo and Persona 5 is the highest selling game from the series with Joker easily being the best designed protagonist you could pick. Joker is basically a rep for SMT as a whole the way Cloud is for Final Fantasy.
Isn't Diddy western?Also now smash threads will have an influx of people who think western third parties are owed anything, but tbf Crash would be actual hype
Shulk is 100% that.Exactly. I just wonder if we would get picks like Ness these days.
It absolutely is big enough, or at the very least was big enough. Granted Joker does fill the SMT slot already being an Atlus rep in general, but I think if we didn't Joker we would probably get Jack Frost or Demi-Fiend.Not a great comparison since SMT is super niche compared to FF. I don't think SMT is big enough to warrant any rep at all.
Though large fan bases dont alwayd helpThe mother fanbase would have probably made enough noise to get it as a meme similar to ridley during smash melee or brawl, which would have helped him get in. While small, you can't find fanbases as dedicated as them imo.
If this is insufferable, then you're really gonna hate it when he gets in with Vegeta and Frieza spirits.This Goku meme is getting really insufferable. At least the previous meme picks were actually somewhat reasonable.
He won't get in. I'll say it again and again: He's not a video game character, Smash is a game for video game characters. Drop the stupid meme already.If this is insufferable, then you're really gonna hate it when he gets in with Vegeta and Frieza spirits.
Arms hasn't earned it yet imo. Maybe if it gets a well received sequel.
RyuThey'd never add Goku when he already has several fighting games of his own, one of which is fairly new.
Same reason 2B or Geralt won't be in Smash. They've already been claimed for Soul Calibur.
Did you want Cloud? Because we got short changed on music with two crummy midi tracks that didn't even have an asshole composer.
Tbh I'm surprised they didn't add any of the champions from BotW as fighters.reminder that Legend of Zelda series had a ton of great potential characters that were all wasted as assist trophies and instead we get 3 Links, a clone Ganondorf, and Zelda and Sheik
also RIP Rex and Pyra i guess.

Nintendo owns Diddy. If you don't think that there's a huge difference between him and characters owned by Western devs I don't know what to tell you.
I know they own him but his creation is 100% western.Nintendo owns Diddy. If you don't think that there's a huge difference between him and characters owned by Western devs I don't know what to tell you.
