Again, is this a good roster for the next Smash? What do you think, /v/?
>>738071532Smash is fucking dead and buried, enjoy your Kirby Air Riders faggotfpbp/thread
>PaulineNo, enough of the wildcard characters. Swap her with Waluigi, someone you can believe can actually fight.>PythraSwap them with Rex or cut them altogether>Al those 3rd partiesWishful thinking.5/10
>>738071532Gen 10 promotional Pokemon probably not something they would push but they would keep Inciroar due to his usage in the meta; but they would probably also Push Eevee as a new mascot character.Shovel Knight, Hollow Knight characters and and Sans wouldn't work; and if Toby Fox bias is real then he would probably have Deltarune put in due to Kris being more developed then a gag turned secret boss.
>>738071532Would Smash really get rid of everything pre-BOTW for Zelda??
>>738071532Who actually gives a shit? There wasn't a bigger smash Bros fan than me, but that was 12 years ago. Smash in 2026 is so deadzo
How long until the next Smash is announced anyway?
>>738072396Might be a while. Nintendo nowadays prefers to announce stuff within 6 to 8 months til release because they've gotten burned a few times by announcing something that had to be delayed too early.
>>738072396>>738071646
>>738071532Remove AlearReplace Medusa with ViridiBring back the other LinksReplace Toad with either Toadsworth or Captain Toad. Add Paper MarioAdd the happy merchant
>>738071532>no terryfag roster
>>738071532>Another wave of roster shitflinging over reps and moveset potentials and third parties and “how is this a celebration of gaming if I can’t play as this guy”Hopefully, Ultimate really is the last one
>>738071532thats still too much FEkeep marth, ike and only one avatar
>>738072620>>738071646>Best selling Gamecube game>Closest thing the Wii U had to a system seller>3rd best selling Switch game>Gets the most attention in any direct it shows up in>Half of 2018s E3 direct was exclusivly Sakuri >Easy fanservice point with a director that at this point is more liked then any Nintendo rep>nah man its over no mo' gamesDo you qualify for disability checks with your retardation?
>>738071532>crashfuck off>sansfuck off>jonesyFUCK OFFKill yourself faggot OP
>>738072978Marth, Ike, Robin and the echos cus they can be made in a weekend. While I like playing as corrin she's nothing more but an ad for a shitty game.
>>738073107lemme guess, you also shit on Digital Circus for its aesthetic too huh? I can tell you hate shit you never touch
>>738073035yeah but uhm licensing, therefor nintendo is never going to make another smash game ever againdespite the previous one selling 37 million copiesdespite the fact that 99% of game devs would murder without hesitation to get their character officially in Smash
>>738071532It's completely fucking garbage. Are you insane?
I'm glad smash ended with ultimate because that game sucks xD enjoy only having lame boring campy high tiers forever MELEE WON IN THE END
I want less characters, not more. There's so much fat that can be trimmed from the roster.
>>738071532>BotW Zelda>Gen 10 starter>That fire emblem roster>PaulineVOMIT
Objectively why did they waste 3-4 years of dev time on Kirby Air Riders when they could’ve used that time and effort to have made a new Smash Bros for the first year of the Switch 2 to be the instant killer app the 2025 holiday season desperately needed? It doesn’t make much financial sense to divert the time and effort that should’ve gone to Smash Bros, by far the Nintendo game that generates the most hype and buzz and online visibility; to Kirby instead
>>738071646Damn, guess I'll leave
>>738073035And yet and yet AND YETSakurai and the smash team made Kirby Air Riders and not smashEnjoy, faggot
>The Amazing Reddit CircusHe's going all out!
>>738074471Maybe because they are tired of smelly smash pedophiles larping as real fighting game players?
>>738074742>Miyamoto made Pikmin 4 instead of super mario 325 so I guess we'll never get another mario gameDo you realize how retarded you sound
>>738074790
>>738071532Not very good. These are the newcomers I want.
But are we excited for when the next season of Smash roster discussion and discourse begins? Especially when we know that there will be cuts from the roster this time?
>>738071532You're crazy if you think the next game will have that many characters in it. It'll probably only have 20-30.But as for particular picks, I don't get why you'd go with popular Western indie PC games as opposed to the long history of popular Western not-indie PC games. Smash's most glaring exceptions are the lack of Doom, TES, Valve, Blizzard, RockStar, GoW, AssCreed, etc. Skipping over all of them for two Hollow Knight reps is hilarious. And FNAF is dead, it was a flash in the pan.
>>738074471Because Sakurai doesn’t want to work in the Smash mines forever. Kirby Air Riders was a passion project of his that he wanted to make.
>>738076325there is like 50% chance smash 6 is just going to be a large switch 2 expansion of smash ultimate
>>738071532>all this westoid garbageKeep dreaming
>>738074471>waste 3-4 years of dev timeI really hate this mentality, its this idea is what leads American vidya companies into the shit factories they are. >it it doesn't sell 1 quintillion copies then its a flop and if it gets a sequel we'll make it live service nft based because thats what people want right?
>>738076387Sakurai didn’t choose to make Kirby Air Riders on his own, Shinya Takahashi and Satoshi Mitsuhara “requested” it of him and it makes no sense because why would you request Kirby Air Riders 2 instead of a new Smash Bros for year 1 of the big new console?
>>738076538>American vidya companiesWhere did I mention that? I’m talking about business and financial logic and the perspective of companies that are profit-driven organizations first and foremost
>>738071532For starters cut all third party characters, then also cut all Fire Emblem and Xenoblade characters (these are not real Nintendo games and will never be)
>>738076670>we really should gas the jews>why the fuck are you bringing up Hitler I didn't mention Hitlerbuddy...
>>738071532>shadow and tails but no eggman>cut sora>jonesykys
>>738077139Are you saying that you think Nintendo and Japanese companies aren’t profit-driven just because they’re Japanese?
>>738071646>enjoy your Kirby Air Riders faggotI'm trying no one's playing the top ride event, also it's finished development
Where the fuck is Snake?you dumb faggot
Tr4.5h was boring, I don't want another game until Sakurai is dead or retires which would be in like 10 years from now
>>738076670I AM the one that brought up American vidya companies because YOU brought up the same ideals they got. Every game must bring in maximum profit and to do so we'll milk a handful of IPs and leave the rest in the sun to dry out and die. Which leads to soulless development. Just look at Halo, its run by people who hate the franchise and ran it into the ground. >>738077287No of course they're profit driven. Nintendo is a company after all. The just manage their IPs better. Not perfect mind you, but better then any American company both in the vidya industry and out. They are willing to let their lead devs do a passion project before forcing them into making the next mandatory game
>>738071532>No FalcoWhat kind of homo are you?>Shadow instead of EggmanSeriously??
>>738077585first one's drag x drive, I have no idea who the other is meant to
>>738077585sorry, wrong picture, who the fuck are these?
>>738074324Go play one of the indie ones then who focus gameplay. I want the most fun and insane matchups.Gimme Eggman vs Phoenix Wright vs Thrall vs Megaman
>>738077762appears to be [INSERTPLAYERNAMEHERE] editione para Dragos Xo Drivos et Monstero Huntero Wildos Dos Castille La Mancha
>>738071532
>>738077585>>738077762wait, did you manually delete your own post? I thought pics were nuked out of the archive because mods did something about it, not that it was automatical
>>738073035The Switch 2 is like a year old. Anything about the development of a new Smash game would've surfaced by now.
>>738078409Wow, what awful taste
>>738074302>Posts you can smell
>>738071532If freddy is in the game he needs to be massively OP to where people complain about him in endless youtube video essays.I need to see people shitting themselves over the latest 'fazbear tech'
>>738078085>Monsta Huntawhat, but he is wearing a cap and a hoodie, Hunters doesn't look like that>>738078439yeah, just clicked on "delete file"
>>738078686Switch 2 is off to a weird start, esp this software and announcement drought. We still dont even have a mainline zelda game or mario.
>>738079143The Mario Versus Minions movie only released last week in Japan. Prior to the last movie they also stopped releasing Mario stuff in order to push the back catalogue, this is when there was the simbly epim>Nintendo has FORGOTTEN Mario...maymayand then after the movie came out they announced Mario Wonder, Princess Peach's Shovelware Adventure, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Shovelware and Luigi's Mansion 2 HD. 3D Mario will probably be announced in the next Direct.It has only been three years since Tears of the Kingdom. Zelda will be announced after 3D Mario is out, and likely the stupid Zelda movie as well.
>>738078752Why?
>>738078995>yeah, just clicked on "delete file"no but what I mean is that your pic is no longer searchable in the archive
>>738079878wait nevermind now I can see it
>>738076292>wanting another final fantasy 7 characterWhy do final fantasy games forget that there's 15 other games in the franchise?
>>738071532>27 third partiesAtrocious roster
>>738079143The Switch 2 is objectively not in a software drought since they've been releasing a new first party game every month since the start of the year. The problem is they're all catered towards the casual gamer.
>Zelda reduced to 4 reps>all from the BotW gamesI'd neck myself.
Is there any chance for a Kirby newcomer that isn’t Marx or Noir Dedede?
>>738081172But there are only 2 Zelda games, Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, are there any others?
>>738080250Should Lightning be added to Smash next?
>"THE SWITCH 2 IS NOT IN A DROUGHT" says increasingly nervous tendie as he goes a full year without a direct
>>738081182>on the air riders key art>first air riders amiibo alongside kirbyhe's in
>>738083190cool fanfic
>>738071532I would play as Ayumi, I guess:
>>738083252Where's the direct tendie?>inb4 third party direct where 90% of the show was ports and kyoto xanadu I guess
>>738083197Sakurai doesn’t care about him, the characters he made like Marx and Chef Kawasaki and Noir Dedede are way likelier
Also what are the actual chances of Fortnite in Smash?
>>738071532Sakurai needs to stay FAR away from the future of Smash before it's worth talking about again.
>>738086749But Sakurai’s the only person who can do Smash
>>738077279What’s wrong with Jonesy
>>738074231>yeah but um the last game was called ultimate so they can't make another>despite no one caring that "ultimate" really means "final">and "ultimate" not being its jap name
>>738074742He's not forced to only make one game for each system, did you think Kid Icarus Uprising killed Smash 4's chances of existing?
>>738074878They're just as tired of buzzword slingers larping as the saviors of western society: AKA they aren't.
>>738086749You have 10 seconds to come up with 10 reasons that don't sound like Adeline fanboyism. Yes, Melee fanboyism is more acceptable.
>>738071646kek, people are actually mad because Sakurai is not on slave duty churning out one Smash after another?The guy should let go of that franchise, he's genuinely one of the best game developers out there, yet he's stuck in a franchise full of greedy, ungrateful pricks. He's getting old and his entire legacy in these last 20 years is smash, when he can make so much more as proven with Kid Icarus.
>>738083197Bandana Dee is a peculiar case.On one hand he's clearly and objectively the best positioned "fourth rep" of the franchise.On the other hand, his execution as a playable character has always been disappointing, and in Smash he'd be no different than a Fire Emblem character with a lance.Getting Marx, Adeleine, Gooey or the animal buddies would be infinitely more fun and interesting, but they're clearly one-off retro characters.If anything, a theoretical Kirby newcomer would have better chances of beating Dee over a spot.
>>738091189So are we in for a similarly long wait from Switch 2 release > Smash Bros release as we did with 2011 3DS release > 2014 Smash release? 2028 minimum Smash Switch 2 release? Who’s gonna be waiting that long?
>>738085505They used to be high as hell back in Ultimate, but Fortnite might genuinely die by the time a new Smash comes around.
I mean its an OK roster, some of these characters dont really make sense, like why is there a fucking tetris block
>>738071532>Daisy and ToadNot even going to bother looking at the rest of the roster.
>>738092223"I know what Tetris is, therefore it has to have a character"
>>738092295Daisy is already in Smash and is a super low-effort clone, why would she ever be cut? Cutting her isn’t going to magically free up time and resources to implement a unique new character
>>738092315I mean, it's doable.https://youtu.be/6Ab-rzwfq34
>>738092574I still wouldn’t really want a Tetris block in Smash over newer Nintendo game representation….
>>738071532>removing sora but adding a bunch of meme bullshit like sans and fortnite>keeping jokerAwful fucking image.
>>738071532No Doomguy, no buy.
Fans have been designing character mods that look legitimate since modded Brawl yet we are supposed to believe that Smash needs Sakurai and years of development time? Fuck that. The countless developers at Bandai Namco should be able to create a decent game. And it should have been revealed by now for Switch 2.
>>738076292>clones>impossible picks due to ownership>2 obscure 4 U
>>738096616modders don't need to run around getting permissions, negotiating and be constantly checking in with rights holders/creators to see if they're onboard with how things are depicted
>>738091936> in Smash he'd be no different than a Fire Emblem character with a lance.I feel like making him a generalized "Waddle Dee and Doo" rep would help alleviate this issue given that's basically how he's treated in the series proper. I drafted up a moveset for him on paper YEARS ago where Specials of his were option selects that let him use either a Parasol or the Beam Staff alongside his Spear, alongside several of his normals using those in lieu of the lance. Grab was him picking up the opponent with the Parasol and doing the throws from the games with them, Forward Smash was charging up and then firing the Beam Staff ala Mega Man, his Forward Special was him priming up a toss of his Spear, but if you hit Up or Down he tossed the Beam Staff or Parasol respectively which had different properties from the Spear (Beam Staff had a far shorter travel distance, steeper arc, but it had higher knockback and damage, Parasol traveled slower, had less damage and knockback, and had a low, broad arc but it had much farther travel distance making it a prime long range harass/noncommittal edgegaurd too).
>>738096616Can modded Ult Characters/Skins be given their own slots now or do they still have to be Frankensteined over an existing slot meaning you have to lose content just to use it.
I played the Shantae games and they're just okay at best. Why did people want her in Smash so much?
>>738099286She basically has the perfect storm of traits. She was one of the the only remotely realistic indie characters for a long while both before and during the big 2010s indie boom due to her series debuting on Nintendo stuff for the first three entries, she has a shitton of moveset potential, and she has a striking design (though honestly this might be more of a detriment than anything given belly dancer-esque " slim top with exposed stomach" outfits have been catching more and more heat for being orientalist. Then again Nintendo doesn't seem to give a shit given the Daisy costume in MKW kek).
>>738079143>We still dont even have a mainline zelda game or mario.Mario 'Kart' World
>>738077578>>Shadow instead of EggmanSeriously??Shadow is far more interesting of a character
>>738091413Air Riders is flea ridden with Smash's bullshit, to the point where only one of the non-Sakurai was not referenced as a spirit in Ultimate. Air Riders might as well be just a spiritual Smash spinoff, with how much Sakurai self-indulges instead of working with most of the material that was made without him. If Sakurai can't even keep up with a series that used to be his, why would I ever trust him with any large crossover afterwards? Let alone Smash, which has had its quality drastically deteriorate over the last decade since HAL was cut off from helping production.
>>738081418Breath of the Wild? Tears of the Kingdom? What are you talking about? Are those from some dream you had? As far as I’m concerned, the last Zelda game was Twilight Princess and the series ended after.
>>738083615Sakurai doesn’t care about Ridley either yet he still got added.
>>738071709>Gen 10 promotional Pokemon probably not something they would push but they would keep Inciroar due to his usage in the metai can 100% see Incin getting the boot for the Gen 10 starters
>>738099637They clearly mean a new 3D Mario platformer. The last one was Odyssey from nine years ago.
>>738071532>PaulineYes please.
