I'm not shocked at all. I don't think much of it is Classic though (at least, I don't want to think that); all of the sub-series afterwards.
I've managed to avoid all forms of Kirby porn, and I hope to keep it that way.
Remember one week ago when the Direct thread was locked because of people talking about wanting to fuck Kirby ?
I shall do it them !

I think this is everyone!
34+81+5th char = 116 characters =D
I will add the variations later
We don't talk about that.
I usually don't bother much with the Direct threads since it's mostly pointless prattle before the Direct and pointless prattle (read people complaining) afterwards.
You've just helped convince me I've been making the correct choice.
Why are you not suppose to say it?
lmfao
fate would have like 500 pictures then 😭
The scale isn't quite right, I think. The head/mask is too big and Skull Kid seems a little lankier.
And it's Brawler, so it does literally nothing Skull Kid would do
Awesome. I'm glad someone at least read my post about shit nobody cares about lol
The thing with that is that it's clearly a Skull Kid costume. It doesn't turn your exposed limbs into Skull Kid's, and your Mii's head is still visible. The Sans costume is full-body, no exposed Mii features. It's almost like you ARE Sans completely.

Direct Threads are complete insanity and I'm perpetually amazed that the Direct Speculation OT is still going.
Yeah I guess that's true. Either way those two costumes definitely at least give you the illusion of playing as the real character in a way none of the other Mii costumes do.
You know I'm honestly surprised mii costumes are so segregated.
Brawler costumes feel like they should map just fine to Swordfighters an dyou could probably get away with a default sword for a lot of them, or reuse existing swords.
Gunners would need a new gunarm presumably but I dunno. Just seems like something that should be available to everyone. Have a bear that can punch you, why not!
People have been saying "why should they continue after the roster of cuts will definitely make the game inferior"
I've come to the conclusion that if it takes half the roster getting cut in order to get a story mode that can feature every character in cutscenes with specific roles, I would GLADLY take it. It's a whole new aspect to the crossover aspect of Smash that really hasn't been explored since SSE (which was already exciting enough for me despite being an ok execution, imagine if it could actually be REALLY good)
I'll always have Ultimate to go back to

Port Ultimate in the first year of the next console's life (if it doesn't have backwards compatibility), with all content included. Maybe some bonus new content if the team is up for it.
Then Sakurai can release his next game (Smash reboot or not) when it is ready.

Claude is one of the coolest possible additions Smash could have by virtue of being a brown guy and a pure archer.
Problem is that will only pull people away from Ultimate long enough to finish the story mode. Once they're done with the story everyone will return to Ultimate because the heart of Smash is the multiplayer.
I feel there is NO going back after this. At least for me.
I think if they could get an episodic thing going where there are these "installments" that introduce characters in batches, that would be a really cool thing to introduce into Ultimate DLC (or any future continuation of Ultimate as a platform for delivering Smash content).
Or, in a different scenario, just make it a different game altogether and draw from Ultimate's character pool in a continually expanding fashion. Unfortunately however, I think getting certain characters into cutscenes period is just not going to happen cough Cloud cough.
Either way, I recognize that having an expansive story mode with lots of cutscenes and decent platforming segments is something that would be pretty much impossible to accomplish with Ultimate's roster without 1) pretty much ceasing the addition of new fighters and 2) drastically increasing the workload on the development team.
Don't a good chunk of fighting games do roster reboots per sequel (namely SF, MK, & a few others)?
Those are dumb and they exist because alternatives to traditional business models haven't cropped up till now. Who wants to buy a new game with less in it?
Those do but stuff like KOF or Blazblue or Guilty Gear pre-Xrd try to keep as many characters as they can, I think.
But at the same time, at least in Street Fighter's case, the SFIV assets aged like milk bought a week before the expiration date. And while the SFV animations are great, the models likely won't age well. I wouldn't be surprised if SFVI starts from scratch again. Not sure about Mortal Kombat, especially since we just got MK11.
Start from scratch and then piecemeal the DLC for years until the next installment reboots again.
This sounds sustainable and not driven entirely by a sect of hardcore fans.
If it's only two vets period there's no way it won't be Mario and Pikachu.
It's how Street Fighter has done it from the beginning, & Mortal Kombat isn't far off. Plus it allows for more sweeping changes to movesets & mechanics. There are pros & cons to each approach.
That's probably why the Versus games are more willing to reuse assets.
To be fair, MvC3 had to transition to 3D.
Capcom can't help Marvel being weird about the X-Men and Fantastic Four.
There were plenty of roster cuts that weren't mutants (especially on the Capcom side).
Capcom has a fair share of blame on their end as well. But yeah, MvCI was a solid fighting game trapped in a sub-par package & corporate meddling everywhere.
And now that I've cleverly dovetailed this conversation to the Vs. series I can reveal my grand master plan.
Capcom Fighting All Stars, a free game that reuses all the Capcom characters from 3 and Infinite, with new characters as DLC until you purchase enough and then the entire roster unlocks like in Killer Instinct.
Also it's 3v3 with Assists even though Infinite played better than 3.

I think this is what most people would accept now. The Capcom-side additions in Infinite were great. Mix that with the roster of UMvC3 and some newcomers/returning veterans from the 2D games, and we've got something going.
EDIT: Missed the free part. I'd prefer a full package.
If it's going to cost me $80 CAD it better have game modes and Arcade endings!
I don't know how anyone could look at Ultimate's reception and think that the next game having substantially fewer characters would pay off in a way that translates into more sales.
