OoT Link and Power Suit Samus feel redundant unless they do something drastic that includes attribute changes.
My advice for avoiding spoilers, stay off the internet and if you must go onto the internet for any reason, have direct links ready ahead of time, as at least on Windows the start page shows news, which could show a spoiler.
Who is Soul Magician Type-0? I’m not familiar with that one. Otherwise, pretty cool but I’d love to see a few more entirely new bosses. I’m assuming Fury Bowser is just a reskin of Giga Bowser for Smash?
That's Magolor Soul bleeding into the bottom square. Magician Type-0 is from House of the Dead
I do think it's notable that, like, the most popular Fire Emblem character in each game is almost always the main Lord or one of the main Lords. However, the games that are the exceptions to this are, likely without coincidence, the games wherein the main Lord is an Avatar character.
I think why Sakurai chooses avatar or Lords of their specific title is to represent his/her origins. Of course most uses swords, but most lords do use them as it is their signature weapon. (Sacred Stones was Lances for the Lords sacred weapon)
Here, mate
Awakening was the most favorite game in the Fire Emblem series thanks to the Pair Up mechanic and the story that was weaved from Time Travel. A dark future trying to make a better one to stop an ancient evil dragon.
Awakening was great but my personal favorites are still Ike’s games (Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn). Maybe it’s because they were my first Fire Emblem games but something just clicked with me in those games that later entries haven’t quite matched despite still enjoying them.
...Wait, hang on: Eevee as a Pikachu Echo? Master Chief as a Doomguy Echo?! Guys like these are not beating the "doesn't play video games" allegations
Awakening was my first one to FE after trying Sacred Stones. The entire opening still gets me chill every time I hear it.
Yeah that is pretty ridiculous. I don’t really see two third party characters from different series being echoes of each other even if it could have worked. I think Ganondorf was likely the exception for a first party clone from another series that I’m not expecting to repeat.
I'm sorry but this roster is plain old ridiculous. Why are there so many echo fighters? This has even more than Ultimates and the only reason Ultimate had so many is because so much of the dev time went to bringing back the tons of returning content and not having enough to make unique fighters, but prior to that, no game has had this many clones. So this roster basically assumes that even with cut characters, Smash 6 will be made with the bare minimum in terms of budget? Like, Power Suit Samus, Classic Link, Black Shadow, Dixie Kong, Jeanne, Shadow, Master Chief all being echo fighters is so unrealistic and some inclusions as just inclusions are head-scratching to say the least. And that's not even with getting to the fact that there's all these 3rd party characters. And the characters that the roster maker chose to cut are basically: freaking Marth who is the Mario of FE, Ike who is super popular, Jigglypuff because look, a roster that cuts Jigglypufff, Pyra/Mythra who are far more popular than Noah and/or Mio and have a very unique gimmick as well, King K. Rool who was so heavily requested and others... this screams fan roster and it's just not good.
I don't think he'd have a projectile based moveset. I was thinking more along the lines of Zero Suit Samus where speed and positioning are the name of the game. If he's based on the NES, he'd probably have a shuriken throw as a neutral special or something, but it would probably be a utility projectile like Needle or Paralyzer rather than a keepaway one.
This is like the fifth time you've used this terminology (and text coloring) and at this point I'm wondering why you're so darn insistent on it.
Which is why we should put Lyn into Alear's moveset instead.
Yeah. Here's how many clones each game added:
Sorry....that was still stuck in my mind as I continued with M&L Brothership.
Oh does that come up in brothership? That's really funny, I didn't realize it was a reference.
Eevee doesn't fit as an Echo and especially since it's a different type from Pikachu and the base model would be different.
What if said veteran was Marth and regular Marth is still in the game?
aaaand like clockwork, a deluge of obnoxious people have already flooded the comment section with gifs of character requests. Typical.
He has no project to focus on development other than his mystery one. Honestly, due to so much surprises from Sakurai, we always get worked up to the point of overhyped when it is possibly something else.
If sakurai has any involvement in the switch 2 direct, then I assume it'd be with an original project. I just think it's too early to get much more than a title out of smash unless they really are building more off the ultimate than we'd want.
I already mentioned it but the fact that Chrom is in Robin’s Final Smash means that it’s not a problem.
It might be a Japan thing because the Avatars are particularly popular in Japan, especially the female ones. Camilla is no doubt more popular than Corrin overall, but it should be noted that Female Corrin won over Camilla in an official Fates popularity poll before CYL(And it should also be noted that Male Corrin surprisingly got 5th most popular Fates Male in that poll, a far cry from his overall reception). And in some polls in Japan, Female Byleth had won over Edelgard for most voted female, even before their Smash appearance.
Subsequently, every time someone suggests making established FE veterans into alts for each other, another angel falls right out of the sky.
I do actually think that could have worked if it had been the plan from the start but I agree it would feel weird now. I’d still prefer that to the character being cut entirely though.
Yeah. Sakurai already explained why Isabelle isn't considered an Echo of Villager, which was that her proportions are completely different from Villager's (due to changes that New Leaf, Isabelle's debut game, made to character proportions compared to the earlier games). Pikachu and Eevee are a similar case. Eevee always moves around on all fours, while Pikachu walks on two legs, but runs on all fours, so Eevee can't be made into an Echo Fighter.
Her weapon is twice her size, there's no way she doesn't end up being one of the most fun characters to play if she gets in.
