Yeah, but if we were building a 12-character Smash roster today, we wouldn't even think about the possibility of Captain Falcon. And even Star Fox is pretty iffy.
Did we get Metroid, FE, or DK updates before the August direct?
Wars also finally got a Western release during the GBA gen just like FE, in spite of no Smash appearance. And the FE game that first got released in the West wasn't even the one advertised by Melee.
Star Fox Zero was recent enough, and the furry fandom is big enough that Fox would probably make it.
I don't think anyone's ready for any more of my hot takes, so I'm going to hold my tongue here.
... But also, Dark Meta Knight exists.
You & I both know Hannibal doesn't get pissed over stuff like that.
Objectively correct?
The left is how the calendar was probably supposed to go. The right in red is what it currently is. The Purple is my own speculation.
So the blog has been sticking to 3 character trailers a week. The fact they did not use 143 and, instead, grabbed next Thursday's character trailer tells me it wasn't a character trailer at all and that this week already had 3. That implies at least 137 was a character trailer (or 136 was and 137 was a memory or w/e).
So if 143 was some rando item or assist trophy, it can't easily take the place of Ryu next week. 137 gets bumped to Monday, which will bump up 144. I think 144 is another character trailer and will go in Ryu's place while 145 (maybe a character trailer, maybe an item, who knows) can stay ala toon link.
Ultimately 143 doesn't really have a place to go. It could feasibly bump off one of its subsequent rando updates, but that just kicks the problem of a mising update to another week. They coul double 143 up with another update, which would be weird but get everything back on track. It's also possible it's just never put up on the site and just eat the missing update and ignore it moving forward; it's not like the site will necessarily be able to cover everything before release anyway.
e: lol never mind they could have just used 143 since tomorrow gets a character anyway. oh well fun with excel
Ness and Captain Falcon benefited more than any other characters for still having at least some relevance when Smash 64 was released.
If every Pokemon was cut and 10 new ones (the amount probably in ultimate) had to be added to replace them
Who would you choose?
I'd go
1.)riachu
2.) Gengar
3.) Blastiose
4.) Feraligatr
5.)Typhlosion
6.) Blaziken
7.) Serperior
8.) Chandelure
9.) Sylveon
10.) decidueye

What say do they have in character inclusion? Krystal is still an assist trophy!
I can respect that, Goku is no Vegeta, but at least he very rarely wears a stuff suit. Empoleon is like if Goku was always wearing his first-time-back-on-Earth garb

Back then, Nintendo didn't have as many franchises so putting more than one rep for certain Uber franchises wasn't too out of expectations, but Smash, being a crossover game would benefit a lot more if every character represented a distinct, important and relevant Nintendo IP. Also because Smash never existed in the past, Kid Icarus, Earthbound, F-Zero, Fire Emblem and Xenoblade are all irrelevant.
Did Earthbound have a cult western following prior to Smash 64? This isn't a hypothetical but a legit question.
Maybe, but they are going to get Incineroar in the game!
Fanart promotion I guess?
Miyamoto would probably actually be the reason. He's lowkey the only reason why Star Fox got given so many shots.
Not to my knowledge. Nobody knew about it before Smash in my friend group, & I think Starmen.net came later.
Yeah, and scalies got King K. Rool and Ridley so we're feasting! I haven't seen this much of a golden age for fanart since the Prince Sidon craze.
Starmen.net was formed in 1997. Smash came out in 1999.
I think I was aware that Earthbound was a cult hit by the time Smash came out because I didn't believe the friend who told me that Ness was in, so I might have visited Starmen.net back then.
Probably. 64 was one of the best games out there too, even if I hate having to call it star fox when everyone knows it was called Lylat Wars ;)
are they popular with that fan art? how do you know this? is incineroar confirmed?
I'm surprised we haven't seen more disturbing ships coming out from the art community. Smash 4 had a ton lol
Yes. But Smash has played a key part in Earthbound's cult status.
It's been fairly vanilla, yeah. Mostly variations on the love triangle between King K. Rool, Ridley, and Bowser.
Haven't seen much shipping art for the Belmonts. Maybe people are acknowledging that medieval people, no matter how hot, smelt really bad and had inadequate hygiene.
Surprised that they chose to highlight the SFC port of SFII and not the actual arcade cabinet, let alone SFI. What have they done with the other third parties? Cloud is gonna be a bit iffy I assume.Oh there was a memory, it just took forever to show up on the site. Well whatever, adjust my calendar accordingly
Nintendo was barely a thing in my country, so Smash is the only reason I ever ended up playing Earthbound which became my favourite rpg
I want to know how Simon keeps his skin clear, they must have had a nice home remedy for that
Bomberman showed the NES' manual
Mega Man showed, uh, Mega Man.
Sonic got ignored (though did double up with Knuckles that day)
Snake got ignored
You mean after his latest game? Dunno.
EDIT: Actually, it looks like it was delayed. For some reason I thought it came out.
When 64 came out everyone at my school called Ness "some kid with a baseball bat".
That's a shame there isn't more, and yeah, Simon's hygiene is so bad that he reverted back into a barbarian
Uh, maybe Theatrhythm? Or they could just go with a general FF memory and do the very first game or something.
Yeah I don't think I found out what Earthbound even was until Melee
Dude left the company to make his own all original Fire Emblem-esque game for the PlayStation and Nintendo sued.
I haven't heard of it, but I'm not a huge Fire Emblem fan. Maybe it's been stated somewhere and I can't find it.
Oops. Yeah. Meant original 8.
I personally couldn't see Captain Falcon or Ness (let alone Jiggs) making the game's roster if it was coming out this year. Fox would be close because he's not as relevant as some as the other Nintendo heavy hitters these days.
