They were marketing choices. Just not the type we are referring too for Ultimate

Jesus the ranting a raving is real. I read all that you said. The entitlement jesus.
"NOT ANOTHER ALIEN B****F*****!!!"
--Smash Community, 2019, Probably
Vergeben nuked his Smash credibly from orbit by saying that we'd get a Minecraft boss, so I wouldn't worry too much about Steve.
I just bought the game 2 days ago on the eShop and haven't gotten mine yet. Checked my spam/junk folders as well!
While I will probably end up maining my old boi Link, I will have to try every new character. Random fighter for casual fun.
Goodbye social life.

Entitlement? I don't think you're using that word correctly.
I just think the 'because marketing' argument isn't a good enough sales argument. Furukawa isn't a moron (I hope), he has to know that you limit your potential sales by a lot by trying to charge for characters people aren't already invested in, especially coming up on a year after launch. Most people will have dropped the game by then, and some untested character from an unreleased game isn't going to incite them to come back to Smash the way someone like Cloud did.
I'm so down for this.
I forgot to play fates (seriously) but I absolutely love Corrin in Smash. She's really fun to play, and I hope you try her out in Ultimate.
Seemed like a reasonable opinion to me? There's no ranting and raving.
Yeah. I have no insider knowledge at all, but I'm pretty certain that no Minecraft content will ever appear in Smash Ultimate.
god today's work day is going by even more slowly than yesterday and I dread to think what tomorrow will bring. Gotta make it through!
Fates may be poorly written, but Corrin will always be cooler than Roy.
You're super lucky that you missed out on Fates. That game's writing was the worst I've seen since Wild ARMs 4, and anyone who's talked JRPGs with me knows how much I hated the writing in Wild ARMs 4. Corrin is written to be so unbelievably stupid it makes my soul hurt. He makes Barry Allen from the TV version of the Flash seem like a tactical genius.
I'll give Corrin a look in this game because they come with it regardless, but that weird Dialga-looking Final Smash is just so confusing to me.
I've had the Fates games in my amazon cart for pretty much all year. There was some rumor that they were getting ported to Switch that kept making me "wait a little longer." I've heard it's not the best story, but I'm still wanting to try it. I'm slightly scared it'll ruin my perception of Corrin though.
Fates' deep gameplay and awesome soundtrack are marred by its godawful story. Everyone is dumb as a sack of rocks and Corrin is peak Mary Sue.
Fortunately it's more enjoyably dumb than anything. Like you could view it as Corrin's self insert fanfic.
I agree. Smash's tagline on the N64 box was "duke it out with your favorite Nintendo characters. " That summarizes the excitement of Smash Bros, that the characters that join the battle you actually have a connection to. And I don't mean every person is going to have a connection to every character, but characters that already exist, that people already know about, that people already care about are way more exciting additions in the spirit of that tagline than unknown characters. They don't embody that spirit at all.
Especially for DLC where you want people to actively buy the content.

Lol I just ignore it. He's way too repetitive and dont really means what he says.
Says he wont buy smash if they announce a season pass he still here so lol. He just jackin
I mean I essentially just find her design, powers, and personality seen in Smash to be really cool and likeable.
Creepy that you mentioned barefeet as a positive.
Which reminds me that Corrin's outfit never made sense. It's obviously Just purly to go with the coloring of the Games themes lol
But the problem is that there aren't many options left in terms of first party characters from already-released games that aren't either irrelevant or stuck in the Assist Trophy Shadow Realm. And I still don't think that third party characters will make up the majority of the Fighters Pass. It's that coupled with what Furukawa said not too long ago that has me expecting marketing picks for DLC (Byleth, Sylux, Gen 8 Pokémon, Octoling, etc.) alongside one or two third party picks that Nintendo would stand to benefit from in terms of marketing (Dragon Quest, Monster Hunter, etc.).
Well she's pretty strong in Fates.
Her design is well loved. But as a character she's just really dumb and naive. Tho I've always argued there's more dumb characters in Fates like Azura.
If you do play Fates. Play conquest. It one of the most fun Fire Emblem games.
Really? It doesn't look much of anything like a kirin to me, but fair enough. I just see Dialga.
Corrin's clothes look like they were made out of duct tape by someone who ran out of duct tape.
I've not heard rumors of a Fire Emblem Switch port. What rumor?
I think Roy is a cute character but Ike is where it's at. Daddy Ike.
...I've never played a FE for longer than 10 minutes so I don't know anything about the characters outside of Smash.

Fates has some good gameplay mechanics, and is the most ambitious FE game to date, but as others said the story is bad and the characters are mostly one-note cliches. I'm playing Echoes right now, and aside from the map design, the game is a lot more fun and has far better art and characters (except Faye). The plot is simple but at least it makes some sense.
Also, the game has a moderate use of enemy skills, I hated some maps in Conquest because some stupid use of skills. Imagine clearing a whole difficult map, then losing a unit because the last enemy archer has TONS of HP and Counter skill on top of that...
Oh ok gotcha.
And thanks for the recommendation. Which of the three was best was my next question!
The thing you seem to forget that Smash is at the end of the day a fighting game and characters are chosen just as much as for their "influence" as for the gameplay style. It's pretty obvious that Pirhana Plant plays vastly different than any other character given his long rang. Similarly, people like Corrin in Smash for her/her moveset being a very unique tool the the rooster, far more than people like him/her in story. I do want characters that are favorites but at the end of the day, gameplay and moveset are just as important factors to the DLC and to pretend it should only be "famous characters" isn't right.
To the people missing your Piranha Plant code, i believe you have to actually redeem your code on the eshop, thus claiming your coins for the purchase. In the direct they said people who claimed their coins before the cutoff date would get him. For me, it took a day or two after redeeming the code for the PP code to come.
Corrin was given bare feet as a deliberate choice by Kozaki. He apparently had an animalistic impression of the character in mind from their description and relation to dragons.
It could also be argued that it's a goof on how none of the character models in Awakening had feet. :P
It was rumored that Fates would get a port of some sort to the Switch, but this was before Three Houses was announced.
To be safe I'll stick to just buying them separately.
Watch me rage quit every fight!
Out of all the Fire Emblem characters. Ike is the only one I would say is a deep character.
He's easy to understand but goes through much more development then everyone else.
-Chrom is pretty boring and simple (which even he admits).
-Corrin has a game about choosing sides and ends up being a simple character, who makes the dumbest choices base off gut and others advice. Bad writing there, they could've done so much with his conflicts.
-Robin- is pretty decently written, tho he's too "perfect" with his plans in Awakening and praised way too much by everyone.
-Roy is a kid who always does the right thing. He's as simple as it gets, not annoying but not exciting.
-Marth, I'm gonna have to pass on Marth since I played FE 12 in Japanese because I imported the game and SD writing is a blur to me.
-Lucina is a tragedy stricken character who loves her family. Still hoping we get another game with Lucina, a game in her timeline could be awesome (yeah I know about the DLC, but make a full game with better writing).

I wouldn't argue that Ike is that deep. Yes, he undergoes a pretty stark physical maturation between PoR and RD, but in his arc of going from rookie merc to mercenary company head to leader of an army and international hero to legend, he doesn't really ever seem to undergo that much dramatic growth in his character. In some ways, I'd argue he even regressed between Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn.
Posts like this really just remind me how much I want a proper Genealogy of the Holy War remake on the level of Shadows of Valentia. Even as simple as the character arcs are, the narrative as a whole runs laps around the rest of the series for its ambition and how much it was able to pull off in its day.
Preordered and ready, very excited for the game. This is my first Smash since Brawl (didnt own Wii or WiiU).
I am very concerned about netcode and handheld mode. ARMS, Mario Kart and Splatoon 3 are silky smooth. Mario Tennis was an absolute shitshow though.

Well I'm still gonna try it out. I'm just late.
Let me know what you think afterwards! Who do you normally play as?
Lol I'll try this.
I think this.
I haven't played Echoes yet either haha, I'm really behind. I'll play that after Fates.
