Mario Kart shouldn't count because it was clearly preservation for Tour. Were it not for that, I doubt the Booster Course Pass would even be a thing.
Or they could just get another guy to do it.
I think you heard wrong, not that it would stop a Smash 6 anyway.
Which was literally the plan for Brawl originally; if Sakurai had refused to direct a new Smash game, we'd have gotten a Melee port.
Yeah, but Ultimate is diferent, a new game means that theres a risk of cut characters, which could be risky since of the big characters in the ult roster, while brawl had cuts most of them werent that important (except Mewtwo), Ultimate cuts will be dexit again, mark my words.
Every smash has been his last smash game
Do I have to explain the specific circumstances that led to Dexit being an issue not applying to Smash again?
Barely any newcomers would make the game less interesting for consumers.
So, again, something that didn't impact the game's sales at all?
This happened every time except for Melee or Ultimate. It's not as much of a big deal as you're making it. It absolutely sucks, but cuts happen everywhere.
Tbh, this is clear cut proof of how spoiled Smash players are because beloved characters being at risk of being cut is common practice for fighting games.
TheQuester should start questing to see why Ultimate Deluxe isn't necessary for Smash on Switch 2 to sell more than -3 copies.
No kidding! It's not like it will be like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, or Sword and Shield, which were not good games.
Why would I want a sequel when most folks seem to think it's going to be lesser than what we have now?
...why would an Ultimate Deluxe only have 2 or 3 new characters? If nothing else, UD would be an excuse to start making Fighter's Passes again.
Regardless of WHY it happened, it was still an overwhelming success. Which would have taught Nintendo that it's a viable model. One they don't need an excuse like Tour to repeat with other games.
Indeed. Nintendo's respect for Sakurai extends to the point where they'll always ask him to return.
Well I’m one of those weirdos who think there’s a good game in Scarlet/Violet, they just released it way too early. Theres a lot I enjoy about it. If it weren’t for the bugs it’d be top 5 imo.
EXACTLY, the bugs! I must admit, Scarlet and Violet had bugs, but Smash Bros. as series did not have many of those, did they not? Not the same as those Pokemon games, anyway.
Exactly this. People who like to watch
A brand new stage roster and lots of new items is a start.
Maybe, but I was thinking mostly, but not limited to new game modes as new content.
The way it ruined All-Star Smash is technically new. So is the fact that they got rid of a perfectly functional For Fun/For Glory system.
That is good, but don't those count as new ways of doing old things, minus the Spirits (even though they were based on trophies and stickersThe way it ruined All-Star Smash is technically new. So is the fact that they got rid of a perfectly functional For Fun/For Glory system.
For a more positive answer, Spirits are a fine addition (even if they're more an evolution of Brawl's stickers than an actual new thing), having an actual lobby system for online play is genuinely a good idea and it arguably has the best version of Classic Mode in the series since each character has their own tailormade mode which can incentivize aiming for a high score since there's less RNG involved.
) For some reason, to me, that does not seem like too much new content there. I could be wrong, though.
It's really not a lot of content.That is good, but don't those count as new ways of doing old things, minus the Spirits (even though they were based on trophies and stickers
So, as I said, just like how Ultimate had all character but less of new content, I think adding new content to the next game would help, even if there are less characters, would it not?
That's my theory, at least.
Now that is what I thought members like you were trying to say.
Ultimate was arguably given even more resources than if it was a plain-ol' Smash 5.
I think it can be fairly argued that Ultimate's success is in major part due to the fact that Everyone is Here is very appealing selling point and it's not even out of the question to assume Nintendo themselves understands its success as a game this way too.
How so?
New gameplay mechanics i can think of:
Yeah. In fact, while it is not a bad thing in itself at all, I do think Everyone is Here is something that kind of had players worry about cuts for Smash 6 in the first place.
Good.
.
This would make L-canceling a lot more approachable and I think I would actually really like this implementation of it. Bring back wavedashing too, but also give it an official name and dedicated set of animations; or at the very least give some alternative movement option in its stead. There's a reason you can wavedash in most non-Smash platform fighters (with some of them explicitly advertising it as a feature).
...why wouldn't it? All its fighters are not direct copypastes of Smash 4 fighters even if it was directly built off of Smash 4 (they had up to 10,000 changes according to the E3 2018 Direct), and they had to remodel more stages than there were new stages added in Smash 4 total.
