It’s weird, the idea of “indie smash bros.” sounds so stupidly easy to do or bag in and yet, 99% of the time they never hit the nail for some reason
because they all have worse gameplay and worse rostersnot hard to understand
They don't have Mario and Link so why even bother.
>>719433302the best indie smash you can get is ironically just modding indie game characters into a smash fangamenot even the ssf2 guys were safe from this curse
>>719433302All they really need to do is just have fun gameplay and a roster that people actually give a shit about and they keep fucking it up or usually add the characters people actually know way too late into the game>>719434414Well, yeah no shit, because you can add characters you personally like
Rivals of Aether II did the gameplay right, but will never get the mass appeal of smash because it's all literally who furry characters
>have characters that masses actually care fornot rocket science
>>719434414fraymakers genuinely pisses me offwhy the fuck would you put two characters already in a platform fighter, literally copy and paste their moveset, not even come up with your ownactual waste of slots
>idea>easyno shit
>>719433302The appeal of smash bros isn't the gameplay, it's the brands + made by nintendoYou're not going to get better brands than all the big namesA real indie smash bros would be getting all the most popular indie game protags and putting them in one game but that would require lots of money for all the deals you'd have to make
>>719433302Because there's no overarching company to do the publishing, like there is for Nintendo. Nintendo owns like 90% of the roster in Smash bros, whereas to do an "indie" smash bros, tons of companies would have to come together to agree on the terms of each characters inclusion, profit split, who would be responsible for maintaining the game, etc.The legal/intellectual property hassle ALONE makes the endeavor too pricey and too time consuming to consider.
>>719436425Not to mention you have no idea either how hard it is to reach said "big" guys or if they're even gonna say yesSmash doesn't have that problem because it's THE platform fighter game in the first place plus being published by the big n
>>719433302Yeah, it SOUNDS easy, but guess what?It's not.Sure, they are recognizable faces when you hear the words "indie game" but guess what? >Reaching out to them in the first place is possibly a pain>Potential to refuse>The licencing bullshit not just from the devs but also publishers>Actually making the game fun to play>The amount of money that would be needed to make the project even happen in the first placeI mean why do you think most of platform fighters are kickstarter products in the first place?
>>719433302Fighting games are a bitch to get right, it's way beyond the scope of indieslop
>>719433302An "indie kart crossover" is a far better idea for various reasons
>>719437787Cel Damage fused with Riders
>>719433302personally, I always thought a power stone clone would be the way to go for an indie crossover
>>719438453That would require today's batch of indie devs to have actually played Power Stone. Unless someone does an HD collection of the games, you won't get that anytime soon.I agree that the format could work way better than Smash.
>>719434669>he doesn't knowworkshop is coming next year, making the game the defacto mugen for zoomers
>>719433302only if zoologist from terraria were playable (and no furry form).
I want them to put in playstation characters like crash, spyro, or sackboy not because I like smash bros but because that would mean we get playstation characters amiibo. No I’m not Eric.
