I just think it's a classic case of pareidoila. Maybe their .psd file with all the character renders has them in lines of 9? The only thing I know for sure is there's literally no reason for them to be organized like that on anything approaching a final product, even ignoring the Ken thing.
I don't do avatar bets. This is the only time I'm doing it, but BGBW was pretty sneaky about this as the original post I "bet on" had nothing about avatars!
A "neat" pattern that switches sides of the box mid-line?
Honestly before they came up with "Villager" that wasn't inaccurate
So do Rex & Pyra, doesn't really make Elma seem like a necessity.
This'd be a damn near ideal five characters to add to Smash. But ever since Brawl, there's no longer that bite to the roster - the kind that leads to franchises getting comebacks.
>>Wonder Red
I've got mod powers now so you'd better watch your mouth about Wonder Red ;-)
Yeah, Sakurai never disappoints in making characters fit right into Smash. Steve wouldn't be an exception.
The franchises from Nintendo itself that make it in are usually multi-million sellers. No way TW101 gets in. It's why I'm hesitant about Golden Sun after all these years.
Golden Sun 1 and 2, yes, but after Dark Dawn it is a very long shot. Isaac's time was in Brawl.
I mean, I only casually follow this thread and I've had to read you and Heartskip feeling this strongly several times. I can only imagine the regulars of this thread having to listen to it for far more than I have.
K. Rool belongs to a series already represented in Smash AND he had the DK crowd massively showing up support for him (by going into Best Buy and voting multiple times). I never saw the same level of enthusiasm with Isaac. I'd say I saw more enthusiasm with Shovel Knight!
Controversial opinion here, but aside from some VERY glaring omissions (Dixie, Spring Man/Ribbon Girl, Octolings) we are already in relative nobody territory when dealing with Nintendo characters.
Rhythm Heaven was big enough for Sakurai to plan a rep for Smash 4, so I would put that in the "glaring omissions" category personally.
I would enjoy it a lot.
I don't know why you feel the need to antagonize me when the only thing I said today was said by several other users these last few days. I don't think I even posted anything for more than a day until I got a mention anyway.
I actually believe Rhythm Heaven needs a character. The series has always been very popular in Japan and Rhythm Tengoku Gold rode the crest of the DS hype wave.
People are simply pointing out the realities of character popularity as it pertains to the Smash roster; I'm the one jerk who is still repping Saki Amamiya in this thread but I don't let that cloud my expectations. No need to get defensive about it.
Yeah I wonder if the people hating on Steve have ever actually played Minecraft or they're just being internet hipsters.
Not antagonizing, just sharing my view of things. You're free to share your (same) opinion as many times as you want.
Different people? I never liked it as I don't like sandboxes and most open world games are simply devoid of fun to me. I still think it's very possible to enjoy a game somewhat and dislike aspects of it: it's ugly, the youtuber worship culture it created sucks and promoted a lot of shitheads, etc. Also, there are people here who said they like Minecraft, but they don't care or want a character in Smash, which seems pretty normal -- I love Shin Megami Tensei, but I don't want any character in Smash.
But character popularity isn't everything. This game is still a Nintendo crossover, so wanting to see Nintendo characters isn't a "purist" thing. You can play as most big third party characters in several games, they get lots of sales, are promoted to hell, etc -- while this is the only chance for fans of stuff like Wonderful 101 to get some representation.
I don't go namedroping you "man, you can't even want nintendo characters anymore without chauzu calling you a purist".
