I will pay for anything smash related dlc-wise.
Anything, but Mii costumes.
IMO what we got was the next best thing after the Grinch leaks.
That shit was the IDEAL, but instead we got Ken, a dedicated grappler/Pokemon rep who is more visually and technically interesting than "is a Pokemon and does Pokemon moves", and fucking Piranha Plant, quite possibly the silliest, most effective salt generator ever introduced in a fighting game. It's Bad Boxart Megaman/Car from Daytona Tier, and I hope it actually ends up being competitively viable somehow, just so the people screeching at Sakurai on Twitter are unable to escape the funniest thing to happen to Smash Bros since that SSE cutscene where Captain Falcon sentai's a bunch of Pikmin to death.
I see Incineroar as an addition for his role as an archetype rather than a rep for Pokemon. Pokemon has plenty of representatives, but Smash has no real character that first the wrestler role, like Zangief does for Streets and King for Tekken. I'm glad for his inclusion for the most part like I was Corrin, for what he adds to the cast as a fighter and not an icon.
Can anyone explain to me how Kirby was able to evade the deadly light beams? Did he go so fast that he warp'd out of sight?
And also, how much y'all wanna bet that the laser rifle from the mecha figure Sakurai bought was used to conceptualize what would become the gun that you use in Spirits to shoot the souls free? I can't think of any other important gun in the new game that might have called for a lot of references.
I didn't think it was funny when Captain Falcon killed those Pikmin
When people ask for a grappler character in Smash, how exactly would they work in a game like Smash? Typically in fighting games, a grappler is a heavy character that relies more on a high damage grab that can't be teched to do damage instead of "normal combos". We kind of already have that with Bowser. Hell, almost all grabs are like that since you can't tech grabs like you can in normal fighting games and a lot of them kill anyway.
A grappler isn't just "every move they have is a grab."
Incineroar's side special seems like a perfect grab follow-up, and all of his grabs seem to have kill potential compared to usually characters have only one or two throws that are good killing power.
The reveals should have been Incineroar > Isabelle > Simon > King K. Rool > Ridley.
I feel like people hate him because of how long we waited between reveals and that we compare him to the reveals we already got. We got this feeling that Sakurai was using the ballot to pick all the newcomers and it didn't turn out that way. So there is a bunch of different factors that can make people really hate Incineroar
Hasn't it been stated before that Sakurai considers an interesting moveset to be just as important to determining additions to a roster as how much fans actually want a certain character?
I think having some fun alt costumes that cross-reference franchises would be fine, maybe release them as packs.
And allow certain Amiibo to unlock specific ones for free. For example, there's an Old Champions alt pack from BotW available, but if you only want, say, Revali Falco, just use the Revali Amiibo and it's yours at no charge.
Not to mention if a series is relevant, if that character is relevant to said series, and other things I've seen from this sourced Kotaku article.
Wouldn't surprise me if that was a Spirit match actually, Purple Incineroar and Green Greninja
They joke, but because of that, I can totally see a Big the Cat spirit with that purple Incenoroar costume.
Not really surprising. We don't know how much they snuck in Spirits. Since they are just simple images they could grab a whole bunch of characters regardless of relevancy.
I mean, they've been doing reveals pretty much the exact same way since Brawl.
Snake -> Olimar, Mega Man -> Duck Hunt, Ridley -> Incineroar
They start off with big ticket reveal and just show off from there. Hell I would say that this final reveal was actually really good. The final direct shows of: One of the most popular SF characters, a popular modern Pokemon, and a strange but well known character to top it off.
While a lot of people wanted characters like Issac and Geno, A LOT more people know who Ken, Incineroar, and even the Mario Piranha Plant are. Which in turn attracts last minute people who weren't already going to buy the game already. (They already attracted fans with Ridley, K. Rool, and Simon early on)
You know, as much as we're joking about this stuff of Spirit, I'm actually enjoying the idea more.
i think everyone was pretty much baffled at the mode when they revealed what spirits is. i admit that i let out various audibly "what the fuck is this? what the fuck is going on?" during those first 20 minutes but after the world of light cinematic, i got what sakurai was going for
and yes, pretty much infinite event matches on steroids sounds like a lot of fun
It does kinda suck how they played it off like a story mode with that trailer and then they have to clarify that "it's no where near a story mode" It feels like they are leading you on.
but... that's the exact opposite of what happened. sakurai stated that world of light wouldn't be as story-centric as subspace was and then the cinematic came up
There was even a message that showed up before the cinematic that said it was more "gameplay than story focused"
I don't have the tweet anymore in my history but the Japanese Direct flat out stated there weren't any/many CGs beyond the ones in the trailer.
That's a shame, but at least we got the single-player content.
