I actually find the argument that music for square games has to be licensed individually, which would make that 2nd mario section solely for super mario RPG and therefore Geno must be in pretty convincing, at least more convincing than the 4d chess furniture colours in the background of the direct confirming skull kid is.

Octolings and DK Jr. are pretty cute and I think they are different enough to have a spot in the roster, and Shy Guy could have a very unique roster if they implemented parts from shy guy variants (like a spear, a propeller hat, stilts, etc), plus he is a main enemy from the Yoshi series and I feel like Yoshi needs more representation in Smash.

Uh, no. Golden Sun was an rpg where all your characters had crazy psychic powers like mind reading and psychoportation and shit like that. In the game, you could control the environment to progress through puzzles and use djinn to summon powerful creatures at your control. It's been years since I played, and I never finished the game, but the abilities of the characters in that game are pretty unique, at least animation-wise.

Capcom seems to want more involvement with Smash thanks to the MonHun stage and Rathalos, and Phoenix Wright is the most likely third choice, as his games have never been outside of Nintendo Consoles (though were on phones), and it's one of few series that isn't on life support. The alternatives are an actual Monhun Rep and Leon S. Kennedy, and I think Wright would make more sense for a Nintendo-oriented game.

There is that hidden mode on the main menu. People tried to piece together the censored name and in both Japanese and English, it seemed to say "Spirits mode". That, alongside Luigi's fucking soul being torn out is thought to hint at a Story mode. No real idea, though, it's up in the air. Perhaps they're hiding it because Sakurai was upset over cutscenes being released online the day of launch.

Assist Trophies can be killed and count for your battle score. Someone had a theory that because of this, the game might allow all “fighters not currently battling” to be available as assist trophies. So you could have a CPU Mario jumping around and fighting on your side for a while. IF THAT’S THE CASE (complete long shot with zero evidence), then Shovel Knight might be a character ALSO WALUIGI. Otherwise we already know that it ISN’T a character, anon.

Ayumi Tachibana, she's from a Famicom Disk text adventure game where you solve a mystery and shit. She's from a series but only one game so far got an english fan patch. Aside from her games she was considered for Melee but in the end got a trophy only, and a costume in Mario Maker (and was considered for a costume for Bayonetta but got scrapped).
I feel like she could easily be like Duck Hunt Dog, where she represents an entire genre of games, with her moveset incorporating giant Japanese characters, and other Famicom Disk characters. Plus she's a high school girl, that would be cool to have in Smash in itself. And last pic here is a mediocre DA pic but it does sorta showcase the basic idea, having a bunch of famicom disk characters in her moveset to rep her whole genre.

9c6be1 No.15370123
>>15370077
For third party characters, Banjo-Kazooie I hardly ever see any say they don't want in. Bomberman is also a pretty popular one but he's already deconfirmed. I would say Slime or a Dragon Quest character but that would likely mean no Geno and that would cause salt. Every other third party would generate salt no question.
For first party, I think Isaac and Ray are both popular choices and the only real salt they would generate is by people who were completely unaware they existed, so 12 year olds. Other Nintendo First parties either have big enough fanbases that people start to not want them out of spite or other reasons like Bandana Dee, or are just fairly obscure. And any retro rep would generate salt since that just is what happens historically (See R.O.B. and Duck Hunt Dog's discovery)
>>15370100
Everyone says Ms. Pacman and Dixie Kong are obvious echoes, but I don't really see it happening, especially with Ms. Pacman. Dixie Kong has too much different from Diddy Kong where if you gave her most of his moveset, it would feel too lazy, and the rest of her potential moveset is very different from Diddy to justify being a not-clone.
And Ms. Pacman just looks so identical to Pacman, it would be extremely hard to tell which is which during gameplay (It's already hard enough since Namco doesn't allow Sakurai to change Pacman's color), and all Ms. Pacman has is a bow. How would she really be different from Pacman in the first place? I just don't see her as a viable echo, I think people only bring her up because they assume every third party will get an echo (which isn't the case since Mega Man's only real echo choices have been deconfirmed)

What other Microsoft character do they have that really would feel like they belong in Smash? Master Chief? Steve? That's pretty much it for Microsoft, and both would be garbage and out of place in Smash Bros. For Rare, Banjo and Kazooie is the obvious since they're from some of their most popular and beloved original games, and from the height of Rare and Nintendo's partnership. The only other choice is Battletoads, which while iconic, isn't as iconic as Banjo or as representative of the Rare and Nintendo partnership.
I'm not even that big on the Banjo games since Spyro is my favorite 3D collectathon and my favorite Rare franchise is Viva Pinata. But they're most definitely the most fitting and the best case representation from Rare/Microsoft.
>I don't think many people would be upset by Crash and Spyro, except the people against third parties who already hate the game.
I can sorta understand why people want Crash, I disagree but I understand, but I don't get Spyro. I feel like people just sorta include them because they feel third parties are obligatory and not whether they really belong in a Nintendo crossover.

Damn right I'll be salty. I was salty when Jr. got into Smash 4 – we already had Rosalina, there was absolutely no need for more Mario characters – and I'll be just as salty if Geno gets in. He was a one-off character from a collaboration game kept relevant by nostalgiafags. Nintendo has first-party franchises they haven't yet included like Mach Rider, Chibi Robo, and others. I think, and will continue thinking, that Geno has never deserved recognition of any sort in Smash.

I admit freely that the idea of incorporating the clown car into Bowser Jr's moveset and making the Koopalings his alts was creative and fun, but I chalk that up more to the developers' abilities as game designers than something inherent to Jr. as a character. Paper Mario could use the hammer, and Geno could use the arm cannon in some manner different from Samus or Mii Gunner. To use my examples from earlier, Mach Rider could passively drive his bike, and Chibi Robo would attack with his plug. Bandana Dee would use a spear. Shantae could transform with a special move input. Wonder Red could implement team moves.
What I'm driving at here is that nearly every new character introduced to Smash, save echoes, brings something unique and interesting to the game, regardless of what franchise they're from (the only caveat to that statement is limitations that are related to the character themselves, like most FE character being forced to integrate swords into their moveset due to the nature of those games). I don't think it's a good argument for why a specific character should get in.

Super irrelevant. The last Advance Wars was on the DS. Sami wasn't even playable in the most recent one, and not plot relevant in Dual Strike. Isaac was like 30 in Dark Dawn and that game wasn't even good to begin with. Hector is somehow the most relevant since he's in the mobile game, so take that as you will.

If they add any new FE character I’d want someone with a different style like Hector or a Horse/Peguses user for laughs. For echo fighters from FE I’d be want with either Black Knight as a slow cool Ike clone or GRIMA THE FELL DRAGON as a Robin clone. Fuck that other Robin echo people rumoured. Just make him evil and give him some evil looking fell dragon moves.
Mostly, I’d want just those echoes. Smash is going for lots of villains this time anyway. If not, either of them as boss fights would be okay too.

The only characters in Melee that strike me as even vaugly obscure at the time of release are Marth, Roy, Ice Climbers and Ness, and if memory serves Fire Emblem 6 came out in Japan around that time so really that was a regional thing. Brawl had R.O.B. I guess. Oh and Pit (at the time). Smash 4, Duck Hunt was a surprise. Shulk was an odd pick but Xenoblade was recent and received critical acclaim. What I'm getting at is a lot of these characters had some sort of history to them. The GBA seems way too recent for a nostalgia pick.
And yeah, the king of party games unironicly deserves a slot. Shame he'll never get one.

So? Why does everyone keep saying this, I legitimately cannot understand this line of thinking. I don't want him as an assist I want him as a full fledged fighter. This shouldn't be hard to understand. And don't you dare give me that shit about how I should lick Sakurai's anus as gratitude for having him at all. Bomberman isn't some random fucking nobody, he isn't a Shovel Knight. He is on the same tier as Mega, Pac, Sonic and Mario in that he is a vidya icon with a legacy spanning decades and dozens of games.
He has more fucking games than there are characters in the roster. The most recent one being a launch title for the Switch, meaning he played a small part in getting that toaster tablet off the fucking ground. There is absolutely no logical reason Bomberman should not be a fighter in SSB.

>Ultimate will push at a minimum 6 million units, and I'd hazard to guess that it will reach up to 10 million lifetime.
Way too low. The WiiU version of Smash 4 alone sold over 5 million, while only 13.5 million WiiU's got sold in total. The Switch is already at 20 million and surely has more than half a decade of growth still ahead. Now, it's true that one shouldn't expect a rise in Smash sales proportional to that. The broader the install base, the less enthusiastic your average owner. Look at the Wii: huge install base, but the number of games bought per console unit was pretty low. The proportion of Wii owners owning Brawl was much lower than that of WiiU owners owning Smash 4. Nintendo expects the Switch to sell about the same as the original Wii, so should Brawl's 13 million be the reference point? I think it will be higher than that, because Brawl wasn't released right before Christmas. Smash Ultimate will be. It is THE Nintendo game that will come out at the end of the year.
Smash Ultimate will break the 10 million barrier before 2020 and easily get 15 million over lifetime, even 20 million are possible.

The DQ8 protag can use Swords, Spears, Boomerangs and his bare hands along with some magic I think. So that could diversify his moveset a bit and make it somewhat acceptable.
Sora more than deserves to be in smashbros and the keyblade IS fucking weird and his games have a shitload of mechanics that Sakurai can put into a moveset for Sora.

You'd be surprised, but Smash is not one of the bigger sellers. For as casualized as it is, it doesn't push as many units as others do. Yeah, Brawl pushed 13 million lifetime, but the Wii did have more units than the Switch does out there.
Nintendo's biggest sellers are Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart and Animal Crossing. Smash will fall a little bit under all of those, I think. I'm interested with how well this one will do. I suppose 15 million is doable but I don't see 20 by any means.

I happened to make a moveset for DQ8 Hero out of boredom before. Hold up:
>Entering the stage
The entire party appears like when encountering an enemy, but then jump off screen. Hero unleashes weapon and shield.
>Jab
Boomerang: throws a boomerang, edged boomerang, and razowing boomerang like a ranged projectiles. think of megaman's standard jab, except Razorwing boomerang has launch and more damage at the end. The boomerangs pierce through enemies, but just like in-game, the second enemy gets hit by less damage and launch, and so forth
<if this is too OP, just one boomerang throw.
<Could also make the boomerang be unequipped to Swords until the boomerang comes back to Hero, unable to equip boomerang until then, and the weapon is set back to sword (default) or whichever was used prior.
Sword: Basic Sword slashes. Think of Link's jab.
Spear: Multi-thrust. End thrust has launch and more damage.
>Tilt
Sword: Metal Slash: Really breaks through shields more than other attacks. think of ryu's tilt, but with longer hitbox. downwards swing. Conversely: Falcon Slash. two quick swings with little recovery time for neutral game.
Spear: Clean Sweep: Sweeps the spear horizontally. huge range. good for poking.
Boomerang: Super Throw. more range on the throw, faster speed of projectile, no damage loss on throw, but more recovery time than jab and only 1 throw. Boomerang comes back.
<Could also make the boomerang be unequipped to Swords until the boomerang comes back to Hero, unable to equip boomerang until then, and the weapon is set back to sword (default) or whichever was used prior.
>Up Tilt
Sword: fan the sword upwards. Flame slash properties (disjointed hitboxes of flame coming out of sword hitbox)
Spear: 180 with spear, more range, less damage. tip hurts. conversely Lightning thrust upwards. think of Corrin's forward Smash, except tuned to a tilt, but similiar range and hitbox.
Boomerang: Boomerang goes 180 from left to right above Hero/Eight. Less damage than spear, equal coverage, but little recovery time, very safe.
>Down Tilt
Spear: Poke like Marth or Roy's tilt, except with a spear. Tip is sweet spot.
Sword: Same poke, but with sword. Metal slash properties (breaks shield more or big shield stun).
Boomerang: Sweep with the boomerang. Trips enemies for a dash attack or grab true combo.
>Dash Attack
Mercurial Thrust. Quick Dash attack that crosses to the other side of the opponent (like meta knight's or shiek's dash attack). Leaps in with little start up frame. Equips the spear.
>Smash
Gigaslash: Horizontal motion with the sword, just like the attack. Travels forward quite bit after execution. Equips Sword.
(cont)
c1a863 No.15370625
>>15370621
>Up Smash
Kazap. Think of Mewtwo's upsmash, but with electricity. Clouds would be higher up with lightning reigning down above Hero/Eight. Clouds also have hitbox, and just like Pikachu's thunder cloud in smash 4, spikes enemies down to the lightning. The casting jingle plays when executed.
<if this is too OP, hitboxes can be tuned up
>Down Smash
Kasizzle from both sides. Travels fast and it is Hero/Eight's height. The casting jingle plays when executed.
>N-air
Falcon Slash: Think of Marth or Roy. Two slashes in neutral position. conversely:
Flame Slash: swings the sword from down left upwards to the right. Flames come out with their own disjointed and post-attack lingering effect on recovery time.
>U-air
Lightning Thrust: Just like in game, hero pokes the spear towards the enemy, just upwards. Maintains an upwards position with the spear. Think of Link's up air, but with a spear. very long range and little lag on recovery, but doesn't cover much range horizontally. Conversely:
Flame Slash here, but upwards, and Nair is Falcon Slash instead.
>D-air
Miracle Slash: Just like in-game: Hero/Eight points upwards with he tip shining then from there it slides downwards in 180 degrees. It has little startup, but hero remains pointing downwards afterwards. Think of Link's Down Air. Very good as optional Fair since Fair is boomerang.
>F-air
Super Throw. Throw the boomerang. the boomerang will come back whether it hits enemy or not. it can double hit if it's the tip of the trajectory, then coming back. Equips the Boomerang.
<Could also make the boomerang be unequipped to Swords until the boomerang comes back to Hero, unable to equip boomerang until then, and the weapon is set back to sword (default) or whichever was used prior.
>B-air
Thin Air. Think of Megaman's back air, game and watch's turtle back air, etc. Multi hit with high launch on final slash. a safe approach.
>B
Heal: Casting animation occurs (as long as a falcon punch) and Hero heals himself a little bit. Unlike Psyche up, while casting and before it is cast, Hero can block, dodge, or cancel again by pressing B. However if Heal is already cast you can no longer bait or make feints with it and have to wait for the recovery time. Heal % would require game testing, but a tentative 5-10% depending on recovery time on animation and startup for cast. Jingle is also heard when cast and you can cast-cancel spam, so a certain CD for the jingle.
>Side B
Kafrizzle. Jingle is heard when cast. Big fire ball comes down the earth to create a pillar of plame that lingers, like Ness's PK Fire or Robin's Elfire. Conversely
>Down B
Psyche Up. Empowers all moves. It can go up to 4 times, just like in the games. Yes, you can finally have Goku in smash, or at least Toriyama's artwork and signature saiyan haircut when fully psyched up at 100 tension. At x4 stacks, the sound effect of hitting an enemy is the same as in-game (The critical hit Sound effect). Properties are given depending on number of psyched ups, including more damage, launch, shield stun/shield break, and hyper armor for x4 stacks.
>Up B
Kaswoosh. Leaves a Tornado. If used ont he ground you will place it infront of you. If used in the air, it is placed underneath you. Kaswoosh grants a big third mid-air jump for Hero/Eight and teamates. Think of sonic's spring, except it linger int he air while worming left and right. Depending on directional input it could squirm to that direction slightly. The casting jingle plays when executed.
>Grab
basic grab. with the hands.
>Pummel
Depends on weapon equipped animation will change. Sword is hilt on the stomach. Slow. Spear is stick whack. Faster pummels. Boomerang is the fastest and best pummel.
>down throw
push them down and a spell on the face. Could be sizzle, or for the sake variety just give hero/eight Frizzle and he does so on the stomach/chest of the enemy. If sizzle, throws them very horizontally. Casting jingle is heard when done
<maybe no jingle for throws
>up throw
Swoosh them upwards. Other idea is Hero/Eight Zooms upwards like charizard's seismic toss then Zooms down. Casting Jingle is heard when done.
<maybe no jingle for throws
>f-throw
Shield bash forward. Sets up for combos
>b-throw
This switches depending on weapon. Sword is a slash. Spear is a impale and throw. Boomerang throws them with the boomerang and has the best launch, a la Ness back throw. Boomerang carries enemy at a certain point then they are launched. Boomerang comes back afterwards
>up taunt
equip boomerang All taunts, for the first time ever, can be done while moving. taunts have no lag and can be done anytime outside of attacking (can be done during shield, rolling, etc).
<Perhaps not while being attacked, requires testing
>side taunt
Equip Spear.
>down taunt
Equip Sword.

More notes:
Hero/Eight is a character that plays with Swords, Spears, Boomerang and Fisticuffs to attack its opponents. His competitive advantage is Down B special "Psyche up" to empower his abilities damage, launch and depending on the stacks, hyper armor or shield breaking properties. Psyche Up leaves you open/vulnerable until animation ends, so do it when it is safe.
In addition to Psyche up mechanic, his second competitive advantage is his use of different weapons. Depending on the weapon that is currently equipped, the jab, tilts and other things will be changed.
The spear is primarily for neutral game. more range but less damage, except for tip, which has high launch too.
The sword is for getting closer and standard play. More damage and knockback but less range than spear.
The boomerang is for keepaway. projectile, little lag. but no launch and projectile damage. Good to cook enemies up for desired combo percentages.

Honestly, I really don't think Camelot wanted to make more entries beyond the second game. They seem much more fond of making sports games anyhow since then (though that could well be more that that's all Nintendo clears them for), and Dark Dawn had a number of issues that seemed specifically implemented to anger fans of the original two. Beyond that though, with DD having broken the "four main characters" rule (GS starting with four, and TLA having four until the parties merge late game), how would the cast even work for a fourth game anyhow? Would the roster be expanded to sixteen total characters for a new eight, or somehow depower the DD crew to force them to start from scratch again (the latter being a very way to handle things, depending on the style of a game)? Or just continue things as is with the assumption that the cast is some arbitrary level (not helped in that there's not likely to be any means made to communicate a DS game with a far belated sequel on another system at this point, as far as data transfer goes).
Nintendo does have an issue of underutilizing the JRPGs they themselves own, except for Xenoblade these days. I'm not saying they should be constantly milking them, but Golden Sun's seen jack shit since 2010, they shitcanned Glory of Heracles one game after having acquired the rights and former team after Data East went under, and both Magical and Baten Kaitos remain two game series. I'm honestly a bit surprised that BKO and Glory of Heracles even saw a song each on Smash WiiU/3DS' OST. Paper Mario and Mario and Luigi still get games, but the former they don't seem to know what they've been doing with it since starting to flipflop on what gameplay/genre they want it to be (like there can't be two ongoing RPG series featuring the fat plumber), and with the latter it's most the first two games (or mainly the GBA and second DS ones) that people seem really fond of.

I'd like some DKJB boss music for Kongo Falls. Unfortunately whoever's in charge of the music doesn't pick any good tracks, just the most well-known ones. Which is why we'll get more remixes of the exact same songs we've heard a million times. More Mute City, more Corneria, more Venom, probably another DK rap.

I guess. I mean, Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy were certainly amongst the first in '86 and '87 respectively, but there's also Glory of Heracles in '87, and if looking at real time combat Ys and Minelvaton Saga in '87.

Smash was always a great opportunity to re-introduce obscure characters to new generations and give their series another chance at life, sadly Smash 4 didn't do this, closest being Duck Hunt but that's hardly obscure or a japanese exclusive. I really hope Ultimate does this again for that one detective girl they were originally going to have in Melee but got cut out.

I'm certain Sakurai would love to. The issue with Dragon Quest is how many hands and deals would have to be done to include a DQ character. If it was just Square Enix, that's one thing. However, as you can see from the copyrights for Smash, additional characters– even partially owned by Nintendo and published by them– have other companies involved. Pokemon alone tacks on 3 companies, Mother Shigesato Itoi (and Ape Inc.), Ryu and Street Fighter stuff having Capcom USA on top of regular Capcom, etc.
Now then, Square Enix is already covered if they were to have Dragon Quest, thanks to Final Fantasy involvement. However, Dragon Quest also has divisions and such, so Armor Project (Yuji Hori's company) and Bird Studio (Toriyama's company) have to be signed up. Want the DQ music in the game? Tack on a copyright for Koichi Sugiyama. Armor Project and Bird Studio would also be involved if Chrono Trigger stuff non-music related were to be involved.

I think it's more of a money issue than mere agreements. It's essentially a license deal. I wouldn't expect say Crono to appear in Smash, but if SE has some non-FF exclusive music they throw in, I believe Crono Trigger and Chrono Cross, along with Mana, SaGa, etc.'s OSTs are 100% in their ownership. That and maybe getting some Mario RPG tunes in like Mushroom Forest. Mind you, none of this might happen and SE could be stingy with music again, but Mega Man and Castlevania are branching out from exclusively their character's game worlds for music and Namco already bolstered their Pac Man stage music with other classic Namco medleys. Maybe in the midst of FF battle themes, maybe something like "Meridian Dance" or "Devil Lord Confrontation I" could be thrown in.

Well ROB was more of a western pick if anything, also I guess you have a point with Kid Icarus. However we really didn't get anyone that wasn't from a smaller franchise. Hell even characters from games that were coming out around the same time period were given the shaft by making them assist trophies. Ray 01, Isaac, Saki, Little Mac, Tingle and Lyn were highly requested at the time. Even now we see some of the highly requested characters like Krystal and Waluigi being given the shaft. I'm kinda hoping they upgrade some of the first party assist trophies for the inevitable season pass. What makes me hopeful for Isaac and Ray is that they'd be new IPs added to Smash. Ignoring the ones that are already in the game and paper mario and toon ganondorf. The top choices so far are:
Isaac
Bandanna Dee
Magolor
Dixie Kong
Wonder Red
Custom Robo
Miciah
Chibi-Robo
Adeleine
All of whom supposedly have more votes than Simon Belmont, a character that was said to have been pretty high in the polls. Now I'm not expecting Three Kirby reps, Dixie Kong or Micaiah. but I am expecting Isaac, Bandanna Dee, Wonder Red and Custom Robo to be chosen from this group. Another thing of note is characters from a new franchise. Smash WiiU had about six new franchises, not including DLC. While Sakurai says not too expect too much, I don't think he'd make the newcomer count any lower than Melee. Hell I'm gonna go on a whim and say that this is the final roster.

DQ3 is the ultimate final form of DQ in Japan. We are talking best selling game, most march, most porn, established many many many memes within the series and online along with many references in tons of games.
As for a move set.
Up B- Zoom
Down-B Create party member, summons a different class in a set order with each input similar to the pikmin for olimar. Thief, Mage, Priest in that order, randomly summons a bunny girl Jester that can taunt and charm opponents.
Neut B- Follow orders. Makes each party member perform an attack, consuming them. You can have 3 party members out at a time.
-Thief disappears and can attack from behind.
-Mage casts frizz.
-Priest casts buff and oomph.
-Jester casts charm which makes the opponent dance.
Side B- Whistle. Causes a slime to attack your opponent. Sometimes a metal slime pops out, just cosmetic.
Final Smash: Kazap. The Godbird Ramia descends, picks up Loto and any party members he has summoned and the group casts Kazap while on her back, the final smash is far more potent with a full team.

Geno is a party member with the bare minimum of plot importance in his own game. Banjo-Kazooie are the main characters of their own game and a staple of the N64 library as well as 3D platformers.

Where's your argument, buddy?
You can disagree and hate on Banjo-Kazooie personally, but there's no denying their games helped define the N64 and arguably all 3D platformers that came after. And yes, Banjo-Kazooie is now owned by Microsoft, but they're the most Nintendo non-Nintendo character out there, they belong there and would fit right in. Compare that to Geno's more serious tone and typical JRPG design and roots.
>>15373257
Microsoft is at least willing to use Banjo-Kazooie in cameos and acknowledge their existence. Phil Spencer even said if Nintendo wanted to, they'd be willing to work something out. Square on the other hand is super protective and refuses to acknowledge either Geno or their involvement with Super Mario RPG. And when Geno was used as a cameo in Superstar Saga, they needed to hammer in that the copyright was owned by them. And when the game was remade, they also pulled the cameo he was included in for whatever reason. I'm still open to the fact of either character being included, but you can't say Banjo-Kazooie doesn't have a chance or no right to be in Smash Bros.

To be fair, Banjo's inclusion is nothing but good advertisement for Microsoft, which they're desperately seeking now. They had a solid E3, did something with a Rare IP that wasn't a side-thing for the first time since Nuts and Bolts, and it'd be a love letter to the N64 as well. I personally think Banjo is shit and his games are shit, but it's very possible. As for reaching out, Sakurai has been leaning on the damn ballot, hasn't he?
1f909e No.15373347
>>15373314
Which is why I'm very aware of the possibility and almost certainty that there will be a catch. But I also think this could also backfire or end in a neutral game for Microsoft. I think when most people think of Banjo-Kazooie they think of the N64, not Nuts & Bolts, not Microsoft. Yes, there would be some advertisement towards Microsoft, but it also has the chance to create more discontent towards them and them owning Rare IPs, much in the same vein that people state that Sakurai seems to do more with Megaman and Simon than Capcom and Konami seem to and that they should "hand them over to Nintendo." I also think that Microsoft seeing that some of the IPs they own are still extremely popular on Nintendo consoles could release Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, etc. on Virtual Console or something similar. (Of course, they'd still ask for a share of the profits and should understandably get them.) Or Microsoft, seeing how popular Banjo-Kazooie still is, would feel pressured to make another game. Banjo-Kazooie being included in Smash Bros. could be a win-win for everyone involved.

Makes me think that while not for this game, it's possible that we might get Banjo for the next Smash game, if Microsoft considers making a new Banjo.
Does that then mean that Battletoads are a more likely contender to get in at the current? I hope so.

Acknowledgement is the best a game can have nowadays. If that does happen and enough people get upset, it would send both Microsoft and Nintendo a message. And of course, if those games are garbage, encourage people not to buy it and let it be a loss for Microsoft.

You Banjotards are becoming super obnoxious with this mediocre platformer character from the "collect a million different piles of shit" days of 3D gaming. I believe the only reason you remember the game at all is because it was one of the few games released for the N64 that narrowly avoided being total garbage.
Geno is far more of an interesting character from a game that aged much better than Banjo, and if he had only made more appearances after his initial game, we wouldn't be having this conversation of "if" he'd be in Smash Ultimate, whereas we'd still be having it with Banjo.

The buffs certainly help, especially the uptilt and upsmash ones, but I the sped up nair I think might actually hurt him, since part of its potency is how massively prolonged it is.
MALLCing to the right art will be way easier now with the art change, and its nice that art shifting can be done faster, but it doesn't really fix the flaws that Shulk really struggles with (really slow startup frames and mediocre combo game that relies too heavily on hard reads). Maybe the backwards facing hitstun will change that, but I doubt it will noticeably change shulk's overall matchups.

It doesn't matter. Final Smash have never needed to be consistent to their origin. Much like how Mega Man's smash involves him teaming up with ALL of his other incarnations despite that never happening in the main games. Or Mario shooting out two giant flame torpedoes which he's never done in a game (although they just replace that shit with something inspired by Galaxy, Odyssey or even Sunshine). Besides, Banjo and Kazooie's smash would just be a cinematic one where Banjo Rex goes berserk while Kazooie shoots flames everywhere.
Dingpot would be too dull. Jiggy Wiggy or Jinjonator-inspired smashes would be more likely.

Link's could easily be a mix of using all of the medallions from Link to the Past.
Mario's could be the Sky Pop from Super Mario Land, F.L.U.D.D.'s Rocket Nozzle, Level Complete Fireworks, Mario has tons of potential, why they gave him a Final Smash that has no reference to any of his games I have no idea.

I don't mean to bring my personal vendetta into this and I am not using it as a means for argument. All I meant to say was that I agreed with your previous statement, but Shantae hits a really bad nerve in me and I don't mean to be criticizing you intentionally or directly.

Decrease the size of their heads slightly, have their eyes smaller, and their facial features less compact and more open, i.e. "less baby face." Less over-saturation of colors, less "flat colors", learn color theory and give them a well versed but not overly complex color palette / color scheme. Have an actual facial structure that aren't "blob" or "rounded" shapes and no slight inward curves or outward arcs comprising the entirety of the character. Have your character be cohesive, give them realistic depth and not camera angles. (This is why some characters can look awkward in 3D.) I may not have listed all of them, but there are a wide variety of issues.
Shantae's debut design is better than her modern one, but it's still a bad design with a poor color scheme in my opinion. And in some cases it could be considered worse.

Doom and Jim I can get behind, but Shantae is just a whore from an utterly mediocre platformer series that is only popular for all the hentai that comes out of it. There is nothing notable or special about her other than her appeal to foreveralones. Her games play like shitty, linear metroidvanias that railroad you in one direction and have no interesting mechanics or combat, and the platforming isn't even fun. It's just extremely basic, barebones "Unity Default Control scheme" shit with no momentum, acceleration or any of the stuff that makes other platformers feel good to play..

>why they gave him a Final Smash that has no reference to any of his games I have no idea.
Mario's FS is just a really big pair of fireball. Granted I think it's stupid how he fires them like he's a Dragon Ball character. I think it would at least be more interesting if they changed the animation a little bit.
>Mario activates FS
>He punches a hidden "?" block above his head that drops a Fire Flower on him, complete with the power up noise
>He then does the Final Smash like normal
Link getting downgraded to the light arrows is extremely gay though. But Megaman's Final Smash is amazing and way more interesting than Time Stopper or Rain Flush. The point is to make them look like supremely devastating and powerful direct attacks, not just boring utilities. Time Stopper would be a completely terrible Final Smash. What, the screen flashes and then all the characters except Megaman can't move. Yawn. It'd be worse than Peach's FS if he had something like that.

So something like the Risky's Revenge design would be more up your alley, then, maybe with slightly un-fucked eyes? The face on the box art for the GBC game reminds me of that old "How to Draw Manga" book that the same fuckos from that old Pokemon TCG PC game infamously used.

>shantae has nothing special going for her
I fully agree that everything's mediocre as fuck, maybe with the exception of Pirate's Curse being just better than the rest ironic how a game where Shantae can't transform is the best one but she does have a couple things under that loose belt of hers. Y'know, the kind of belt that sluts wear that makes their pants slip off anyway.
She was one of the top-selling games in the DSi e-shop again despite its mediocrity though I could be wrong on this, and in Warioware D.I.Y a microgame involving her did get into the Big Name Games section. Granted when it comes to most characters that's like throwing a stone in the ocean, though, but they are part of the history she's got. I find "interesting move set idea" to be a fully invalid argument, just as a footnote, since Samurai can give anyone a cool move set

No, it'd be Time Stopper in conjunction with another ability. My problem with Mega Man's Final Smash is that it restricts the characters used in it from appearing elsewhere, X will never be an assist trophy because "he's already in Mega Man's Final Smash." I forget Rush Adapter was a thing too, maybe that could be his Final Smash. But I'd still like to see the Mega Man Killers included in some way.
Sorry to say, but Mario's Final Smash is boring and not fun. It would nice if his regular fireballs were upgraded to fire as fast as they do in his games though. I wish all character's movesets has more references to the games they came from. Sky Pop would be nice because Mario Land gets no love. I imagine it'd have Mario flying in the background towards the screen, firing missiles at the stage and when he flies over the stage he quickly flies upward and drops a bomb on opponents. There's loads of ideas they can work with, Mario deserves a better Final Smash as do other characters.

Her design still looks bad, there is no way to fix how she looks without changing the core design entirely, I believe it's inherently flawed and that awful. Personally, I think she has one of the worst designs I've seen in a popular video game character. That's not saying genie characters can't be done, female ones can be done correctly too. But it needs to be done in a way that meshes well together. Colors, hair, head, outline, body, arms, etc. Shantae feels to me, that she was designed based off individual traits one at a time of what someone thought would be genie or middle-eastern inspired with no consideration for how it complimented the core of the character or overall design. It feels as if there was very little trial and error in the design process (Yes, this is something you should do when designing a character.) and she was cobbled together out of traits familiar to the artist, which is why she looks anime inspired and why her design seems to use the same angles and curves in it's line work with very little outline or shape variety.

That's just, like, your opinion man.
Nah I'm kidding, I wouldn't pull that after you took the time to post all that. I fully see what you mean, Shantae's colors don't really appeal to any sort of fitting palette at all. They would have to change it around to fit her purple hair in order for the design to be more… professional, I guess you could call it, without removing Shantae's most defining part of her. The only problem is that I slapped purple on the color wheel, and according to my uneducated self on color theory, none of the colors grouped it look appealing, let alone feeling like they're "genie" colors at all. I'd fully support changing the color of her clothes and accessories though, since they could easily just say that Shantae got a new wardrobe 'cuz puberty hit and her jiggly bits grew too big for her old clothes or something stupid like that… the question is, what colors, though? Maybe we could actually petition this shit to Matt and make Shantae a better character

For one, I think the purple hair and tan skin clash tremendously against each other, a more natural hair color could work better. I think greens and blues would work well, nothing too bright, the shades should match each other in terms of intensity.
Like this image here, blue looks to be a better color although it could be tinted a bit or washed down to match the shade of her skin tone and the yellows could be a bit more dull and subtle or not there at all. Her hair color could be less gaudy or not purple, maybe a more dull pink that follows her skin tone? Incorporating some greens or teal-like colors might not be a bad idea either.

They're clearly shown to be missiles and are called such. Yes, Mario shoots fireballs, but I don't think he shoots giant spinning twinburst fireballs in other games, the point is to have something recognizable or very directly inspired from another Mario game, even if it functions or plays a tad different, it'll very much be what the Sky Pop appeared to be in Super Mario Land. Yes, the Fireballs are a reference, but they're almost too generic to tie it to anything concrete or call it a unique reference. It'd be like giving Link a giant bomb as a Final Smash because "he uses bombs in his games."

This essentially. Mario and Links Final Smashes are incredibly mediocre compared to Mega Man's. Even Sonic's is better than theirs and his even has the Chaos Emeralds. Even something small like a fire flower showing up when Mario uses his smash would be a huge improvement. I mean both Mario and Link are the reps for nintendo's biggest franchises alongside Pokemon. They could at least get something more creative or even cinematic would be an improvement.

I remember seeing a concept art image of Shantae where her hair was fully black. I think with a darker blue shade for her clothes like you said and maybe silver (maybe even platinum?) accessories over the golden colors could make for a better color scheme. As for the hair, I guess it could be toned down – maybe black with a little bit of a dull violet hue – the story reason behind the hair change being her changing into a 3/4th genie that also gives her the ability to transform on the fly
I'm gonna see if I can't edit that pic or a different pic well enough to show off what I mean, though, because while it sounds good to me on paper, it probably won't be so much in practice.

Dungeon Man definitely deserves to be a stage. As for Earthbound villain rep, Pokey would be the best option in his spider mech or with a Dr. Octopus backpack with spider legs instead of tentacles. Jeff is too cowardly without his gun and rockets, but he could still work since being cowardly is not really a restriction. But Paula and Kuma could just be alternate skins rather than echoes to not waste limited time, like Alph is with Olimar. Also I want to take pics of them together with Ness and Lucas…

That is not twin fireballs spinning around each other. It's not as solid as a reference. Sky Pop would be nice because how the fuck else can it be used? Item? No. Assist? No. Stage? No. And chances are it won't be included another Mario game. Imagine if Smash 64 had Final Smashes or if another Super Smash Bros was being developed before the GameCube. Can't include F.L.U.D.D. doesn't exist, neither the Mega Mushroom, etc. Mario has references to the original games, and Mario World if his cape is included. Wario represents Super Mario Land 2 and his own series. But there's very little that actually references or represents the original Super Mario Land. Mario needs some big finisher move for this fighting game. Sure, we can borrow inspiration from Super Mario RPG, but we already have enough of that in his moveset and whatnot. What else could be represented? Super Mario Land. And what's in Super Mario Land that could pack a lot of power for an ultimate move? The Sky Pop.
Sure, it and the Marine Pop were only featured in 1 level each, but as far as I'm concerned, they're iconic for Mario fans. Every other iconic aspect or game of Mario is represented? What's so wrong about the idea of the Sky Pop as a Final Smash if there were no better moves else to use?

Enough already. Your Sky Pop idea isn't as interesting as you think it is. It's actually pretty lame, and gives the impression that Mario does a lot of vehicle piloting in his games when he doesn't. He's not some sort of Star Fox character so don't give him a Star Fox-esque Final Smash. The Mario Finale is perfectly fine as his FS. The only thing it needs is a little Fire Flower grabbing animation.
If you want SML fanservice so bad, give it to Daisy instead. She's in the game now and could use this as her Final Smash.

>brawl removed momentum from jumping and made the game a lot slower, air dodge change(it had the worst mechanic known to mankind as well, tripping but that didn't carry over to future titles), it also removed L-canceling and didn't exactly try to compensate, so aerials are laggy
>sm4sh removed chain grabs and made ledge mechanics less jank(you can't gimp people just by hanging onto a ledge unlike in melee, also you can't just repeatedly gain invincibility from jumping on and off one)
>its a bit faster than brawl, shields and dodging are ridiculous however meaning that its hard to gimp people in the air and is generally a slow game
>it also added rage, a comeback mechanic most people didn't like
ultimate changes are;
>short-hop attacks have a 0.75 multiplier, so they probably won't be good kill options
>tilts/smashes can easily done out of dash, in a similar sense short-hop attacks are now easy to do
>Aerials have cut landing lag, basically making them L-cancel tier
>perfect shields now occur when getting hit during the period your putting down your shield, causes a decently long stun state
>melee airdodge is now an option again, its laggier than the brawl air dodge(in order to use the brawl airdodge just don't press any directions)

I think thats most of it, i guess the fact that you can turn off hazards in ultimate is worth a mention as well.

5mash will probably be the best game since Melee from a technical perspective and will mog it in terms of pure content. I think that Brawl was the only actually bad game in the franchise (bad mechanics, floatiest and slowest game and a tier 0 character) though meleefags will automatically shit on every other game for not being melee.
If you're playing casually, you won't notice that much of a difference between melee and smash 5 other than the physics and new characters. On a competitive level there are a lot of techniques from melee that won't be coming to this game that increase the movement gap between the games. Most of the major issues with 4 will probably be fixed in 5 though.

Forward slash. if an enemy is hit, ricochet backwards like in-game. you can cancel ricochet with side b to be aggressive and combo or followu-up, or play it safe with Fair and extend neutral game. safe on shield.
>Up Air
Slash upwards like in-game. ricochet down. great for juggles. if you ricochet to the ground, it has no landing lag.

I'll agree that between the two knights Hollow Knight is the better choice, but out of all indieshits Quote/Curly and Shantae (who is still technically indie as her games are made by an independent company, unless I'm wrong) are the only two choices right now and I'm not even gonna give the time of day to Steve
Hollow Knight's too new and has a lack of history to be in Smash Bros, but he does deserve to be in indie Smash clones, though, maybe Rivals of Aether. I would say Slap City but that's Hat Kid's domain and I'm not sure if HK would fit in well design-wise.

>it also added rage, a comeback mechanic most people didn't like
i thought they did this for the heavies. so where is this going to leave them in ultimate since theyre going to nerf rage?

What's the most absurd echo situation you can think of? I was thinking about what it might be like if Paper Mario ended up a Shulk echo that has a badge select system instead of Monado arts and uses his hammer as a much shorter but stronger Monado.

>so where is this going to leave them in ultimate
For them to be good mechanically(or to be shit as usual), rage didn't make bowser good in sm4sh;
it was the damage he could do off of grabs, same with Donkey Kong.
Ganon was considered shit in sm4sh at the end of the day.
Making heavies hit harder won't save them from being shit, having some actually decent options would like the aerial options ganon has in melee(he actually seems to have good aerials in ultimate as well).
Ridley seems to be decently fast for a heavy and King K Rool seems to have a lot of projectile options, you could probably make them good off of those features.
Dedede could easily become good, gordo's seem to have potential and he obviously relies on disjoints.
DK has always been a grappler archetype(outside of maybe 64), he was decent in sm4sh so it might carry over.
Bowser has great ground speed and his newly buffed inherent super armor seems good(being able to run into a laggy move and punish it while being hit seems strong), his grabs aren't as strong however in ultimate.

Echoes have to be from the same franchise as the character they're based on.

jeeze, i cant imagine anyone topping that.
okay, patricia wagon from mighty switch force 1/2 as an inkling echo who can douse her foes in water causing her electric based attacks to have a greater effect. well just assume her gun from the first game shoots an electric pulse, and give her some thunder gauntlets for serving the shit out of some justice. who doesnt love a good power fist?
instead of turning into a puddle to refill her tank she just drinks from a fuckhuge jug of water.

oh for those who arent familiar, in the second mighty switch force game shes a fire fighter. the tank on her back immediately reminded me of the ink tank inklings wear.

Let's change the subject:
Why are 90% of the melee players either white trash or niggers?
Why are 99% of all the smash players scrawny beta males? I know they're playing a bing bing wahoo competitively but come on, not a single fit, clean cut player in all of the videos. You'd think professional players would stay fit to be at peak performance.

niggers plague the fighting game community and it's really annoying. on one hand you get to beat the nig nogs up and prove superiority but on the other hand I want to have a conversation that is more than "DAYUUMN NICE SPIKE NIGGA" and make friends with people who can elaborate more than monkey reactions

The echo that would create peak butthurt would be Waluigi as a Fire Emblem character echo, but with a short ranged racket and Wario's janky running.
Give him no advantages over any characters, so that he's objectively worse and whenever someone loses against him they get even more butthurt.

He's an exception to the rule and you know it
Also, he's a low tier main. most low tier mains are chill or nice people

So which one would be a better villain rep for Sonic in Smash? Metal, Shadow or Eggman in a walker/other vehicle? If anything Shadow would be the worst choice since he would just be an echo of Sonic with a different Final Smash, while Metal Sonic would be a unique character with his own moveset and animations. Metal could even have a sort of comm feature when he taunts that calls up Eggman and has him explain Metal's opponents in the same vain as Otacon.
ab3603 No.15388824
>>15386940
Eggman obviously since Metal/Shadow will just get regulated to being clones/echoes with variant animations (like running).
>b-but Metal doesn't fight like Sonic he will be different
Didn't save Dark Samus, no reason to believe it will save Metal from this same fate.
