Why did they forget to throw him a bone when transitioning to Ultimate like with Palutena?
do you think he will return in the next game?
>>724765050What do you mean?
>>724765154Why wouldn't he?
>>724765050Because nobody cares about Megaman.
>>724766461Megaman and Palutena were defined by being the only two characters with completely different abilities in their custom movesets.Palutena got some of hers fused together into specials that activate one or the other conditonally, Megaman just lost all of his.
>>724765154>next game
>>724765050Bone man?
>>724766865this is inaccuratepalutena got entirely new specials in her custom movesets, but the only thing that changed about mega man is the projectiles he fired;NBs are all thrown projectiles, SBs are fired normally, DBs are barriers, and UBs are all produced for recoveriesnone of them are fundamentally different enough to be compared to the differences in palutena's specials
>>724766519he's a licensed 3rd party character. a niche pick at that.
>>724769749I honestly wouldn't mind if they did a sort of soft reboot, ditched all the third party characters and refocused on fundamentals with a tighter cast of Nintendo characters. Where do you go after the "Ultimate" edition with the insanely bloated character selection? I think they need to go a different direction
>>724769869i don't really mind if most of the roster comes back. everyone will just ask for the old characters back again anyway. it's why ultimate exist after all. i wouldn't mind a soft reboot just mainly because the game feels 'like brawl 3' with how old some of the movesets and voice lines are. a stronger effort to making the characters more representative of what they are in the 17 years since.
>>724765050I will throw a bone to Palutena.And by bone I mean my erect Phallus in her cervix for procreation purposes.
>>724769869>hurrr drop all third party characters, they are taking all the focus away from pokemon and fire emblem
>>724770221I wonder though, with Sakurai gone and the future of the series uncertain do you really think they would renegotiate all those contracts and pay out to all those different companies?
>>724765050Because his basic kit was good enough that he didn't need it
>>724770306I didn't say that, I want some more obscure (or less emblematic?) fighters and maybe a single Fire Emblem character who isn't a sword user. Dixie Kong, E. Gadd, maybe give some of the Koopalings their own identity, I don't know. Make Shiftry a character, that could be fun
>>724770346probably not with companies that are annoying to negotiate with, like square. sega and bamco I can't see why not.
>>724770346Sakurai isn't gonna stop making Smash as long as he lives. Nintendo will always ask him to direct Smash before they ask anyone else and he will always say yes.
>>724765050Should've just given him a weapon swap function, like with Hero but controllable.
I know this is late but what do we think about having to unlock every single character including echoes?
>>724775141>please think for me
>>724775169I have an opinion on it you cuck, I think it’s fun at first but becomes annoying fast when you just want the whole cast.God forbid I ask a question about video games in the video game board
>>724775092Eh, I don't think every character in the game needs a swap mechanic of some variety. I think simply switching out Crash Bomber for one of his custom specials (i'd probably go with a slightly reworked Shadow Blade personally) would service fineAn idea I did have for Mega Man though would be that he could move around while using forward-smash, charging it up just like his home series and being able to use it in the air, though it would also slow your movement down quite a bit so it wouldn't be overpowered
>>724775274So just say it instead of waiting for someone to respond so you can use it as a retort. Putting it behind the veil of a question like some normalfag would is weird.>>724775317Who said every character? It's a trait Mega Man is known for most out of the roster. I merely suggested it as a means of balancing him in a way that represents the qualities of his games. You know, what Smash is known for.
>>724775387>Who said every character?That's fair enough actually, maybe go into more detail about this mechanic
>>724770221Here's how they should sell it:>Switch 2 update for Ultimate with a new SSE-esque campaign where the plot is that all of the heroes unite to fight a new villain.>the vast majority of them either die or get sealed in another dimension at the end>cut to teaser shot of never before seen characters (Examples: Wart the Toad, Waluigi, classic Link, and some guy from Advance Wars) looking on>cut to to title drop "Smash Bros Alternative, coming soon"
>>724775317I think even just having holding down A charge the shot would work. Lets you run and jump still and frees up side smash for something else.
>>724770221Agreed 100%. Ultimate already is the "ultimate" Smash game as we know. I think it gives opportunity for the next game to get very experimental in terms of gameplay and identity. Could even have a different main director instead of Sakurai for a change
>>724774302Didn't he say he was done?
>>724776139I don't believe so? Obviously he's working on Air Riders rn so I don't expect a new smash game for a while unless someone else is leading it
>>724766865>le customsIrrelevant when both characters got buffed. Leaf Shield isn't a joke like in 4.
>>724775387>It's a trait Mega Man is known for most out of the roster.while true. the feature creep, and making character play EXACTLY how they are in their home games is how you get broken unfun shit like fighters pass 2. Smash is supposed to be a simple game after all.
>>724777046Min Min and Steve need to die!!!
>>724765050DANNANANUNUNUNADOO DA DO DA DOO DAH DAH
They fucked up with custom moves royally and never went back
This art so cool
>>724766931>"Smash sixxu? Ro ho ho, sirry anonsu, rhy rourd we make sachu a gameu? We at Nintendru HATEU free truckroads of mahney!'
>>724776139He's been done since Melee, lmao. Literally the only thing Sakurai has said about Smash that can be accepted as an ironclad rule is that characters need to originate from a video game to be in it.
>>7247793131/10 attempt at being edgy
>>724779480t. sappy jappy
If we're never getting another MvC game again, the least Crapcom can do is let my wife transfer over to Smash Bros.
>>724770346>sakurai goneWait, what?
>Crossworlds has Pacman and Mega ManBut no BombermanLaugh at Bombermanfags>has 100+ games>one of the most copied games of all time>revolutionized multi-player in gaming>had the first HD game ever>launched the successful B-Daman toyline>good Nintendo history and had a crossover with Wario and Mario Party 2 unused content>has other crossovers with Pac-Man, Transformers, Yatterman and Lilo & Stich>still gets BTFO in SSB and became a complete laughtingstock by everyone>series gets overshadowed by waifufags and coomers beacuse of Bombergirl despite them never playing the game>R got outsold by the new Momotetsu, a fellow Hudson IP that was only released in Japan.>no console game for 5 years>No games on NSO, can't even get Panic Bomber on Virtual Boy NSO despite having less than 20 games>40th anniversary came and went with no fanfare or events. R2 flopped hardWhat a fucking loser. Imagine being a Bombercuck in 2024
ahh, time to check /v/ now that the November direct is done, it'll be nice to see the denialfags finally blown the fuck out forever. Even if they're not, I've been basically confirmed ever since Knuckles got Assist Trophied. I wonder what the new Shadow trailer is like, I'm sure it's completely based and has me killing Sonic or somethi-WHAT, NOTHEY MADE KEN AN ECHO BUT NOT ME? WHO THE FUCK IS INCINEROAR? MORE GAY POKEMON SHIT?!!!! TH-THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING, I'M THE MOST POPULAR SONIC CHARACTER, REMEMBER THE POLLS????I DON'T WANNA GO BACK INTO THE TROPHY, IT'S SUCKING ME IN!!!!!HEEEEELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW-WHAT, EGGMAN, QUICK GET ME OUT OF HERE SO I CAN BE DL-WHAT THE FUCK, ALL DLC FIGHTERS ARE FROM SCRATCH?!?!?!?? NO ECHOS?!?!?THIS IS IMPOSIBLEEEEEEE
>>724782834Does this not get tiring
>>724782834Laugh at Laughingstock Bombermanfag.>has made 100+ threads>makes fake eceleb tweets dragging on the series he hates>his threads that mock the games only inspire genuine discussion about them>said genuine discussion almost ignores him entirely>the franchise he hates has a thriving fan community responsible for creating multiple high quality fangames>not even the fiftieth most notable schizo on /v/>not even the seventieth most notable Smash schizo
>>724783096Bombermanfags are delusional and think he’s an A-list vidya character along the likes of Mario, Sonic, Mega Man and Pacman. They rightfully deserve to get ridiculed over their obsession over a C-list character who got BTFO by superior franchises in his peak.Hudson Soft went defunct twice, he's a nobody.
>>724765050I'd take it a step further and say they should've added Medusa as an echo fighter for Palutena and given her some of Palutena's old customs.Pit and Dark Pit need a complete move set overhall
On this day 7 years ago. Piranha Plant was announced in Super Smash Bros Ultimate, and completety and utterly BTFO Shadowfags, Puppetfags and Isaacfags.Plant Gang, RISE UP!
>>724783153Ok ok cool, nobody mentioned Bomberman in this thread though? You doing alright, man?
>>724783248No, Mega Man is more iconic than Bomberman.
>>724783321...okay?
>>724782834>>724783153>>724783321How in the fuck did Bomberman of all franchises end up attracting its own dedicated schizo?
>>724783531>no moveset potential>no good music>shit sales, 2 million is the highest the series ever reached>tons of games that never saw a Western releaseBomberman was never a big enough deal, C-lister at best. Hudson Soft was too retarded to captalize on him properly. Jetters could have easily made the series more popular in the West if they localized it. Especially since there were a bunch of video game animes in the early 2000s.
>>724782959>>724783237Japan doesn't care about Sonic, Shadow being playable never made sense.
>>724776139Any game he makes, he makes with the belief that it's the last title in the series. So he gives his all. But he went on record that if Nintendo asks him to make a new SSB, he'll do it. And Nintendo is not going to ask anyone else as long as Samurai is in the business.
