I'm curious if people are going to say this with the large number of previously starter characters in Smash Bros.
Like, hmm, that Silhouette looks like Princess Zelda, I wonder who this character could possibly be. This next one looks like King DeDeDe wonder who that is. This one looks like Rosalina with a Luma beside her...
It's going to be interesting to see the responses come launch I feel.
I'm going to start writing up stuff for my own topic on this. Feel like there's a fair bit to write on such as Carrots on a Stick, Analysis Paralysis, Competitive Scene, Launch Day Parties, Less Experienced Gamers and more.
I think so, I usually read up on the entire roster before hand but not the unlock criteria and it's still fun to see it happen.
But theyre different genres and have different focus.
Completing a level in a platformer is the core of the game.
Unlocking characters is a means to get to the main content if o fighting game.
It's more like needing to jump on a Goomba X amount of times to complete the level, rather than get to the end point. That is a necessary component of the game, but not the purpose.
Driving is the core experience of racing games but that doesn't mean I don't want to unlock new cars. I don't see why that restriction needs to exist when the starting rosters usually provide characters that have diverse playstyles.
