Super Abilities in returns were lit, they made the final boss. The Robot armory was also really cool, giving Kirby a stinger variant on his own pre-established moves while adding variety to a soon to be tired formula.
As far as I know, most people hated hypernova and it's often called "cutscene" because you just press a button and stuff happens automatically. Personally, Triple Deluxe is my favorite modern game and I have no problem with that, but I know that Hypernova is commonly hated by a big part of the fanbase.
I continue to think that's silly to criticize something that's purely personal tastes.
No, in fact it wasn't refered to Superstar. There are many factors that make me think he likes RPGs more than platformers. One of those is the amount of effort he and his team put into representing RPG series compared to platforming series in Smash (especially the not-mario ones).
Yes I can, because evidence is no proof, evidence is just what I'm basing my speculation on, and it means something that's apparent, not a fact.
That's the version I knew
I knew that they wanted to work on Kid Icarus and sent some concepts to Nintendo, but Nintendo refused to approve those. I don't know which version is the most accurate, but I remember this version from when the news came out many years ago.
Umm... what do you even mean. I’m sorry, but I don’t see what sets the Sakurai title main menus apart from Meteos with the exception of the original Super Star and Smash Wii U. Everything in his games are perfectly organized into categories just like Meteos, especially in Brawl which had a very lined up design in comparison to Meteos’s everything all over the place instead of lined up. Even if you feel that the style has now become overused, that shouldn’t hurt Ultimate as the design was changed for portability purposes and now has huge icons that nicely organize everything. I also don’t get what you mean by the free button motions, I understand that you could move the camera in Melee, but was that really a big feature that would make or break a menu. It ultimately did nothing, so why have it.
Ummm.... This is just wrong, there are way more platform characters in smash than rpgs. I mean there are really only like three Nintendo rpgs in Smash as we have Pokemon, Xenoblade, and Mother. With the exception of Pokemon, which duh it’d have a ton of characters being the most recognizable brand in the world, the others just have 1-2 characters. Also, before you say it, no, Fire Emblem is not an RPG, it is a tactics game and the only game in Smash with that genre. Even if we were to compare 3rd party as you seem to want to, there would still be an imbalance in favor of platformers as we only have 2, 3 if Erdrik comes, compared to the four platformers held between Castlevania, Mega Man, Sonic, and Pac-Man.
Absolutely nothing, that's not my point. It's just a matter of preference.
To be fair, there’s good reason for all these things.
Source? Did you conduct a poll and did the results show a general disliking of Hypernova, or did you just read comments on the internet?
I don't think that. People aren't infallible. You are not perfect and neither am I.
Well, your initial sentiment was that they were "horrible and confusing menus" and that they were part of Sakurai's terrible design philosophies. This wasn't simply leaning towards a preference but it was inaccurately disregarding a valid design choice from an aesthetic and functional point of view. Instead, if you decided to say "I simply don't like them", we would just have saved ourselves the trouble.
That was... quite a turnaround. You went from discussing game design with RPG-like elements to roster additions and series representation. You can't blame us for being confused here since you are sending us mixed signals. You pretty much shifted the parameters of your post to convey a different idea.
Cool. I like Uprising better.
Umm, technically Fire Emblem isn’t an RPG as it lacks the turn based battles. It is considered a tactics games, so even if he was complaining about FE, it wouldn’t count towards Sakurai being biased towards RPGs.
I have nothing to add about the rest, but this is a bit inaccurate.
It's more of a mix between an RPG (having different characters with different abilities) and turn-based strategy (for obvious reasons), but leaning more on the TBS side.
There are a few things to keep in mind with Galacta Knight:
Bandana Dee has been playable in 4 games.
Technically he wasn't playable in Battle Royale.
Did you really just bump this thread to complain Bandanna Dee?
Only two of those are mainline games.
No, I bumped the thread to promote Galacta Knight.
I'm not sure what you're trying to get at. I'm not saying Galacta Knight wouldn't be a good idea for a fighter, but he hasn't been playable and has been relegated only to non-canon appearances, putting him in the same boat as Waluigi except with way less games under his belt. Compare this to Bandana Dee who has been playable thrice (forgive my mistake in an earlier post) and has been in more games to begin with, or Marx who has been playable once (still more than GK) and has been one of the series' most famous bosses, for way longer than GK has too.
You're prioritizing quantity over quality. Bandana Dee makes a lot of appearances, but most of them are minor and in spinoff games at that.
So explain to me how three playable appearances is more major than a handful of non-canonical secret boss fights. You say that "alternate stories" don't matter, but they certainly seem to matter considering he's usually regulated to secret appearances and cameos. I'm not sure what logic you're using but it's obviously flawed. You're saying that appearing in "minor" games makes Dee less important, but Galacta Knight appearing in non-canonical cameos is what matters? Dude, listen to what you're saying, say it out loud, and then think it over. Both of them have minor appearances and cameos. The game they're in matters not. I'd argue it's how important they are to that game is what matters more, and Galacta Knight has never been the final boss or major story element of any Kirby game, save the recent Kirby Clash game on the Switch, which is by your apparent standards, minor.
Again, out of Dee's three playable appearances, only RTDL and SA are mainline. The latter isn't even that special since he's only one of many dream friends.
You know what? Okay. Maybe being playable makes him more important than Galacta Knight, I can see things there.
Spear copter is one of the coolest things into the franchise, you take that back.
Which is sad because GK has arguably the most potential for a great spinoff than any other character in the game.
And yet Bandana Dee was only a main character for one main series game (RTDL), and only one of many Dream Friends in Star Allies. All of his other appearances were more of like what Impa is to Zelda, who NO ONE wants to be playable in Smash.
Well, that’s incredibly rude. Lots of people want Impa in Smash.
Yeah i know that and i belive it(I mean maybe it wasnt intended but its definitly the case)
Bandana Dee is just boring though; he's just a basic weapon wielder. More interesting potential characters like Marx, Susie, and Magolor are one-shots, Star Allies aside.
bandana dee can use a parasol and a beam wand though. and he has other ailties like the waddlecopter, galacta would be better as a boss imo, and magolor isn't a one-shot (at least counting spinoffs)
Beam wand is not faithful to his character (unless you want a Ganondorf/ZSS situation), and a parasol would look awkward in conjunction with his spear.
that never happend outside of Smash Flash that's a fangame, not official. If you are referring to Kirby 64 when that Waddle Dee was transformed by Dark Matter into a Waddle Doo, it's definitely not the same thing and it was a very specific exception; still didn't use the wand, he summoned beams directly from his big eye since he was an actual Waddle Doo.
I think that after bandana dee dark matter should be the 5th kirby rep, as for the beam wand even though he never used it I thin it still makes sense because waddle doos are also part of the "waddle" family. I get why some people think magolor would represent modern kirby better but bandana dee is more of a main character, it be like if the only mario characters were mario, peach and bowser and for the 4th character instead of luigi we got nabbit
As I said here, we're a bit short on characters that are BOTH iconic and have potential for uniqueness, at least on the first party side. It makes it hard to justify adding further characters to existing series in Smash.
