Not gonna lie, I was in that camp before the game came out. Then I played the game and the pieces of "why X is like this?" or "why does Alear have Y?" started to connect together and now I actually love them.
Man a "definitely not a zombie survival" stage would go so hard.
They're extra controversial because:Alear due to being a Fire Emblem character
Unless I keep missing like, every instance of them being talked about which would hurt my soul
And saying Alear could be a really cool addition for Smash is the hill I will choose to die on!
If Alear does go the Emblemon Trainer route, their Emblems should be characters who've never been playable in Smash before.
I'm pretty sure Matt would get over Abby. Not just because Matt has alot more notoriety, but Matt is both a Boxing and Swordplay champion whereas Abby is only good at swordplay. Besides Matt also uses a purple sword, so that's another point for him.
Ngl, since TLOU kept getting brought up earlier, I legitimately thought Nabbit was referring to Abby from TLOU2
I'm pretty sure TLOU2 is what Nabbit went for. Ivan is just being a silly because "Abby" is also one of the names of the Wii Sports CPUs.
Personally, I think they could be cool. From what I've seen of Engage, I quite like them, and I don't think the "ghost Marth" idea would be as confusing as people think, especially since Emblem Marth would be see-through, glowey, and stapled to Alears back 99% of the time.
The idea is more "and their side special summons Lyn who does a slash!" rather than any sort of swap character, which is much less appealing.
Oh, specifically Abby? Yeah, almost certainly. She hasn't even shown up in the show yet.
None really. But I guess Meowscarada to complete the Dark Starter trio.
So what you're saying is...we're getting Raz from Psychonauts and a Meat Circus stage!
I mean it's either we get the Sword Lord/Avatar with Emblems or we get the next Sword Lord/Avatar with whatever the mechanics in the next FE entail, because I highly doubt FE is gonna drop Avatar characters any time soon, and they're usually pretty important/definitively the main character and typically use swords, and IntSys always throws around the player character for Smash lol
Abby is also the name of one of the Sportsmates from Nintendo Switch Sports, which is another possibility if Nabbit isn't referring to Abby from TLOU2.
I know, I was suggesting a fourth idea where Alear swaps between FE characters who were never playable in the first place.
I don't think Avatar characters are going to be dropped since they've been heavily gravitating to Smash ever since Smash 4 introduced Villager, Wii Fit Trainer AND Robin in base(and technically Mii Fighters), Corrin for Smash 4 DLC and then Inkling, Byleth and Steve/Alex for Smash Ultimate. And then not only do you have Alear and Kiran from Fire Emblem, but:
Considering that most Switch games will presumably be backwards compatible (I personally figure when they said some games aren't, it mostly means stuff like Labo or Ring Fit because the ring wouldn't be able to house the new Joycons, meaning they'll probably make a new one for that), I highly doubt Miis are going anywhere. They probably still won't have a major focus, similar to the Switch, but I doubt they're going anywhere because of MK8 Deluxe, Smash Ultimate, games like Miitopia, possibly Switch Sports, etc.
If it’s not Smash then I hope it’s not too long since it could mean that Smash 6 could have more then 10 year gap between it and Ultimate depending on when the next project releases.
What no Smash Bros. news for 3, almost 4 years does to a MF.
Smash usually drops about two years or so into a console's lifespan, so a 2026-2027 release doesn't sound too unreasonable. That's about 8-9 years between Ultimate and 6, and about 5-6 between Sora's release and the new game's beginning
looks there doing homages to sega games in sonic stages
Sadly, people's opinion changes to more popular character(s) that are still highly requested or current fad. So, in return make Crash Bandicoot an enemy of their choice.
Crash seems to be someone who gets the crazies on both sides.
I mean I don't think Crash is UNpopular per se, it's just now he has a lot more competition to go up against including Doom and Halo, and the future of his series is very up in the air since Toys for Bob is indie and Vicarious Visions is basically a CoD support studio now, so his support has waned a fair amount lol
Also, he was spared from Activision Blizzard's wake by going indie. So, his series is clear from a major roadblock. Rayman's fate on the other hand......
I feel like it'll be more than one because some people don't want to admit base game newcomers aren't just about playing catch-up.
complete with an Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog reference
Yeah, that's typically at least the token surprise character at a minimum.
Sells alone is not what makes a game more relevant. Otherwise, you might as well say Minecraft is more relevant than Halo. Or...pretty much any series, including Mario.
I mean Crash wasn't, unless I missed the bit about Toys for Bob taking the IP with them. The only case I saw of that recently was the Hi-Fi Rush team getting their IP back thanks to the PUBG publisher with plans to make a sequel.
All it needs is a proper spark and speculation will fly. Sakurai and/or a reveal intro.
Sorry Nabbitfan730, if that even is your real name
. After the release of the N. Sane trilogy there was a lot more support, he started placing highly in pretty much every fan poll since then, several of which I’ve already shared with you. If that’s not good enough for you I don’t know how else I’m supposed to to prove this outside of anecdotal evidence, but I’m sure a lot of the people here who were around back then would back me up on this if you really want to bother them about it.
I've seen people arguing that Halo theme isn't iconic.
