Why did scrimblos die off?
>I HATE quirk chungus autists with their doggos and puppers UGH>LMAO SCRIMBLO BIMBLO BING BING BIPPY
>>745005335Isn't Conker anti-scrimblo?
With the PS3, sony decided it's main audience should be ball and gun moviegamers who are repulsed by anything with colour.
>>745005335I love how mindbroken Banjo in Smash made people that they had to come up with such a retarded term out of sheer cope lmao
>>745005482Who are you quoting
>>745005335Association with gay people
>>745005737He's so irrelevant it's downright stupid that they included him.
>>745005895But it's the best 3D platformer on N64, you waste of oxygen.
>>745005335Nintendo platformers mogg them. Masterclass in art direction and game/level design that is timeless.
what is scrimblos?I assume it's the second panel of your imagebut that's raymon, dakster and the no-pants squirrel
>>745005913>on the n64time to get off the internet grandpa it isn't 2002
>>745005760Me, I say that all the time.
>>745005935Mascot characters from the 90s/early 00s. Some zoomer made a tweet years back that went viral, making fun of millennials who bitched every time another anime-looking Fire Emblem or Squaresoft character got added to Smash instead of some obscure 90s mascot platformer character like Gex or Bubsy, and "Scrimblo Bimblo" was the generic name they used in it.
>>745005935Old meme from SSBU rosterfagging to refer to characters from 90s platformers. Something like "30 year old boomers when Swordface McJRPG guy is the new Smash character and not Scrimblo Bimblo, the loveable mascot from the game they played when they were 7"
>>745006026The smash roster is a museum of characters that have been on Nintendo consoles. If you want characters of social relevance Fortnite is always there for you.
>>745005335>reddit humor
Is there a reason Smashfags advertise themselves as being so painfully unfunny?
She was the last of a dying breed.
>>745006241You had your time in the sun. That's over now. Go eat a werthers original or something old ass dude.
>>745005335HELLO SPYRO, I'LL HAVE MY USUAL
>>745005335Why are we using a twitter/smash fag term for [colorful characters]? Are you that faggy?
>>745006518I'll be sure to save some for you, see you in 10 years.
Why are underage retards like this?They're mascot platformers.
>>745005335it is also because of fortnite and robloxhttps://youtu.be/8j_z9i5BhEchttps://youtu.be/oeT-HdpkHYMthe kids are still platforming, they just use their own skins to do so
>>745006795It comes from a place of anger and resentment.
>>745005335>scrimblos>all well knownWhy are zoomers so disingenuous and absolute fucking niggers? is this really how they live their lives being miserable?At least use someone like the jersey devil, that game was hyped and quickly forgotten despite being a launch title
>>745006795Mascot platformers are a symbol of the era where games and game technology was steadily improved every single year and zoomers are lowkey buttmad they didn't get to experience anything like that and instead grew up in the age of eternal Fortnite and graphics that haven't really changed or gotten any better since 2013.
Sponge Bob are good modern scrimblos
Wow, every thread literally uses the same rhetoric No wonder Deltarune threads made the staff so butthurt as shit, this board is a literal graveyard
>>745006946Zoomers get their video game history from YouTubers. And most video game YouTubers are autistic so they have a warped perspective on how popular these games really were. Mario, Sonic and Crash are the only scrimblos that non-gamers were aware of. Banjo and Klonoa are way overrepresented for their actual popularity.
>>745007234i don't think any klonoafag will try to convince you he's popular
>>745005737why is Kazooie sexy?
>>745007051My parents grew up exploring their neighborhoods. My experience as a kid was exploring virtual fantasy worlds that slowly got more impressive. Their youth was a casino.
>>745007234>Banjo and Klonoa are way overrepresented for their actual popularity.Banjo and Klonoa are not obscure or unpopular characters. Try Blasto, Billy or that tiny robot from the gc game no one played
>>745005335Because zoomers are gay.
>>745007557Chibi Robo? fucking loved that game
>>745007360Cloacalingus

>>745006395NEED TO BREED
>>745007031that's fucking gay
>>745005335For a long time they were seen as "cringe", when the industry was trying to make itself seem more mature and serious. That still happens today, but it's less common. So you occasionally get some throwbacks or even new ones.Pretty much the only way to get actual new scrimblos is to play indies, but most of those are nostalgia driven based on old scrimblos.
>>745005737They say, we don't want Scrimblo Bimblos, not enough Saruhi Swordukas.We can't even have Tough Mcgruffs, those are too western too, only Saruhis are allowed.
>>745005335>Why did scrimblos die off?GTA3 was released. Next question.
>>745006208>who bitched every time another anime-looking Fire Emblem or Squaresoft character got added to SmashSo “scrimblo” is a forced meme mainly because some tranime twittards got upset that people didn’t want Teal Marth #4 added to an already FE-bloated roster? Why are we humoring their temper tantrums, again?
>>745005335did they?
>>745005737Banjo was added years before the term Scrimblo caught on. It was more about how people kept asking for Crash.
>>745005482When you walk you look like a bitch
>>745005895He's part of nintendo story, stupid was cloud and sephiroth inclusion
>>745013216That's a bit different.
>>745005335>Daxter in the imageYou already know, everyone in the industry got into that weird anti video game section of their life and tried to make "mature games for mature adults such as myself"Jak 2 is the perfect example of that
Bigger questionWill Palworld in smash?
>>745013972Daxter pretty much stays his mouthy self through the series though, complete with dopey victory poses with Jak. He even gets his qt otter wife at the end of 3.

Because they were mostly made just because it was what was expected and people didn't quite know what they could do. They were mostly a cope at the time and not what people actually wanted to make, which is realistic human characters.

>>745017684not my thing but cub artists that don't give a fuck are funny
>>745007125I'm glad the jannies are apparently deleting deltarune threads given that you DR posters are whining about it in literally every fucking thread I open.
>>745005482Scrimblos aren't try hard wholesome. Infact, half of them try the push the limits of how much 'tude you can get away with in an E rated game.
>>745005335Corporations don't want (you) to like fun mascots, they want you to worship the brand itself. Fun things are not allowed to be fun under any circumstances, because it distracts from sucking canaanite cock too much.

>>745005335Back in the day simple cartoon characters were just more effective given the graphical limitations of the time, a mascot was more expressive than low poly action man #183. When graphics advanced characters could be more realistic. Also, gamers used to be much younger.
LOL
>>745005335Their devs wanted to make new things, their audience wanted different things, there was a saturation of mediocre ones, etcThe day mascot platformers began to die out was the moment those kids told Naughty Dog that Jak & Daxter was a game their younger siblings should play while they play GTA 3 instead

>>745019870There was a shopkeeper named Catherine in the game, but she didn't play a big role in the story, and she's another character's fiancé, NecoJi.

>>745018523>>Despite all their bitching and moaning, they will outright ingore the fact that 3D platformers are alive mostly in the form of the multiple indie games coming outThis is what gets me, we got indie picking up the slack, yet some people just want to shit their pants and cry like there's nothing to play. Would I like a new Crash/Banjo/Klonoa etc.? Absolutely, but while I wait for those I still got other games to play and support. Like Connie and the Essence of Chaos, a game inspired by Rayman 1.
>>745006395She wouldn't have been if they hadn't stolen her boobs.
>>745020387Based.
>>745020006Could Ty fall into that? I believe the level is like>High Tier; Mario, Sonic, Megaman>Mid Tier; Banjo, Crash, Spyro, Rayman, Gex, Sly, Jak, Ratchet, Shantae>Low Tier; Klonoa, Ty, Sparkster, Croc, Kao, Frogger>Bottom Tier; Zapper, Blinx, Vexx, Vince, Scaler, Tork, Jersey Devil I'm willing to see corrections or personal tastes.
>>745020106All the anthro dragons in the remake mean Cynder has a good chance of having dragon tits
>>745021030Pretty solid just not sure Gex should be on par with Banjo or Spyro. Have not played his games though so I won't say for sure.
>>745021030There isn't a single western scrimblo that belongs higher than bottom. They're all shit.
>>745006208>>745006237>Smash faggotryOh that makes sense.

>>745018523>>745020784Its because their autistic and refuse to let go of the IPs they bonded to as kids.
>>745021030Is this ranking based on popularity, quality of games or just personal preferences? If the first I would bump Megaman down at least one tier. It have been a long time since he got a worthwhile game.
>>745007360How can she NOT be?
>>745021919>Is this ranking based on popularity, quality of games or just personal preferences?Popularity mixed with recent releases and a dash of personal, which is why I'm not calling it definative.
>>745022319>popularity
>>745022372Come on anon, you can't sit there and tell me Megaman isn't still popular to this day. I even put my guy Ty in Low because even I know he isn't anywhere near stuff like Banjo in terms of recognition.

>>745022617>bringing popularity into the discussion in the first place
>>745022856Alright, excluding popularity, how would you rank them?
>>745022924By their best games.
>>745022617Mega Man's presence is much less pronounced outside of US and Japan. He doesn't quite belong to the same tier as Mario and Sonic.
>>745022617Only thing keeping Megaman alive for the past decade is collabslop and a 9-volt battery
>>745006795Fags are mad they were born after 2001 and never got to experience the best of the industry while they have nothing but gachaslop and remakes
>>745021543Least dishonest eastfag
>>745023429The best westslop character is Rayman, and he's mid at best.
>>745005335They switched genres and became "horror" mascots, which appeals to the modern Twitch child way better. From the eyes of a publisher, platformer mascots only have nostalgia holding them up and separating them from both being carried by horny furfag autists.

>>745021030Having played Vexx myself last month and endured the misery that is sweeping the Citadel of Shadows stage, I'd say Bottom Tier is too fucking generous
>>745014676I think the vid is not that bad, but overall I agree about ZackaryWhy does this happen with so many furry artists? They start out crap, get good, then turn to crap again (often getting into weird fetishes or developing weird styles so you don't want to look at their works anyway)
Why are zoomers so chronically insecure? They act like hipsters but have the most pedestrian tastes, your average tendie millennial is way more into obscure shit than your average zoomoid in spite of how snooty they come off as.
>>745005335>scrimblosgood way to detect trannies.
>>745023861>>Whole thing started because some random twitter tranny got mad that the reception to Pyra/Mythia in Smash was lukewarm at best and underwhelming at worstWhat?

>>745025690I don't know why people refuse to post the original image whenever "Le Scrimblo Bimblo" gets brought up.This is the origin for the expression, this right here. It did not exist as a concept before this point.https://web.archive.org/web/20210217184510/twitter.com/Avinny4/status/1362110809095233536
I also just got the Ty Remasters and Im going through the first gamePretty solid platformer, minus a few levels lolAt least most of the collectables are designed to were they're all grouped together so you wont be combing a massive ass fucking area like Banjo Tooie or DK64Love the soundtrack and the goofy Straya voice actingShazza is cute too
>>745022617People who like videogames love seeing Megaman pop up in Smash, but I think there are very few actual Megaman fans left. They are a loud minority and their frustration is justified, I'll give you that.
>>745022372I like this version of Mickey but it tried too hard at times. Also Goofy looked like shit.
>>745007031... man, I forget sometimes just how hot and sweet cereal mascots are. They touch my heart, like they are JUST the sweetspot for silliness and manliness I love in a design.I GOT to comm this artist one day.
>>745005335They stopped being made.
>>745025375>They start out crap, get good, then turn to crap againBecause they eventually find their style then once they've mastered it start taking shortcuts.>often getting into weird fetishesUsually they end up getting paid big bucks from a few or sometimes only 1 dude to keep drawing their specific fetish.
>>745005335Because they are all made on the request of "we want our own version of Mario" then get shelved forever when they aren't as successful as Mario day 1.

>>745005335
>>745030019why tho
>>745005895People still compare modern 3D platformers to Banjo. It's about as fundamental to the genre as Mario 64 was.
>>745024558Kameo was one of those games I liked more than I thought I would but it was still kind of shit
>>745030406>why thoScrimblo bimbloozled
>>745031285Bubsy is the only character there who's had a new game in the past 3+ years.
If you could brought back any old 3d platformer for one more game Kao or Bubsy style, which one would you pick up? Personal I'm thinking Whiplash. Truth be told I'm more familiar with the flash game than the actual game, but I always thought the premise is fun.
>>745031373Both Sonic and Mario had a new game in 2023, but for some reason whoever made this picture thought Super Mario Bros. Wonder didn't count.

>>745005335Got a better question how come humans are rarely the heroes of platformers? Mario and Hat in Time are the only exceptions. Rest of the time its shitty furries.
>>745031285>>745031373
>>745005895Sakurai said that game characters with no future won't stay in Smash. So Banjo is a one off because he was dead before Smash and his creators adamantly REFUSED to do anything with him during the Smash hype so the opportunity got wasted. Banjo really is dead.
>>745031468Wonder isn't a 3D platformer
>>745030954Meaning?
>>745005895It was less about Banjo Kazooie themselves and more about Rare, really. They were a powerhouse of scrimblo platformers back in the day so that counted for something compared to the random Kao or Ty.
I liked N&B
>>745032743
>>745005895>waahhhhh we could've gotten an eighth junkfood anime swordfighter with degenerate detached hitbox ungabunga gameplay instead
>>745031468>Sonica racing game.>Marioan addon for a game released 3 years ago.
>>745032162or good
>>745024197that's exactly the case, which is why you get random shit "mythicals" like zeraora and zarude because one of the scroungers insisted on their original the character being an official pokemon
>>745032743Im calling jontron on you
>>745032743The worst part of N&B is that the worlds are too large for how empty and devoid of anything they are. By trying to cling on to classic BK elements, it actually dragged the game down.
>>745033569Wonder is fine. You just feel obliged to hate on Nintendo.
>>745033334The problem with Mega Man is that he is played too straight.Kirby is a stupid pink sphere baby but he has an inherent over-the-top violence to him. Oh no, the food got stolen by the cute penguin! Then he just devours every cute thing in his path or aquires a bladed weapon and goes ham on some mushroom fuck. There's a strong juxtaposition of cute and violence that has the same charme as slapstick cartoons when Kirby comes into a room and fucks everyone up with a sword.Sonic has an edgy attitude and that appeals to younger kids who want to be this cool-older-brother-type character.What does Mega Man have? He's just a straight hero and he and his world aren't presented in an intriguing way, charming robot designs aside. The violence is presented as-is, completely straight and not contrasted with anything. You shoot robots and they explode, but it doesn't produce a strong reaction or have any unintentional or intentional comedy to it.Even Mario has more personality by virtue of being a fat italian man who yells very funny when you fall into lava.
>>745005335>oversaturation by the end of the 90s, some still tried to keep it going into the early 2000s>many scrimblos' companies being stretched thin with dev budgets increasing with the new millennium's consoles and prioritizing non-scrimblo projects to try standing out on themScrimblos who weren't owned by one of the Big Three or an otherwise moderately to highly successful game company couldn't afford to survive among the changing tastes of the industry, especially not when the HD generation hit in the mid-2000s and saw even more dramatic shifts in consumer/developer tastes. Sonic surviving all this anyway is baffling, frankly>>745034372that's fucking retarded
>>745033334OG Megaman is cursed as a character because even among megaman fans he has to compete with other protagonists that really just blow him out of the water in writing, coolness and as heroesIf he wasn't the OG he would probably be even lower than Vollnut in terms of popularityLike he even has to share the Megaman title with some other protags of his own franchise
>>745005335Is Jumping Flash a scrimblo game?
>>745018523>gamers wanting the devs to be forced to make platformers forever when they want to move onthat wasn't really the issue for threeie though>tease a sequel in Tooie, a game that ended up being extremely popular>don't strike while the iron is hot due to global success, other projects at Rare and the studio being acquired, leading to time passing>studio and market changes scramble a lot of parameters accross production>advertise the game as if you're planning to release a sequel after years of silence leading to heightened expectations>the game is a spinoff rather than the main entry that was expected>it starts with a scene mocking the fanbase for wanting a game like the previous entries (which that the marketing reinforced)It doesn't matter that the game was decent to good and did what it set out to do, mistakes were made just about every step of the way
>>745005737zoomoids aren't people and aren't good at creating terms or language

>>745034674What does Classic even have thinking about it, three other Megaman already do everything he does but better X is cooler and has a more interesting robot vs robot conflict going onLan and .exe work as kids saving the world way more Geo is a way better hero at the end of his arc
>>745035110>What does Classic even haveA sexy sister.
>>745034674>>745035110Classic has better games.
>>745034403There is a reason why most fan and extended media content to some degree draw from X's tone and concepts and why Zero has the most loyal subfanbase within the greater Megaman Fanbase.Because its willing to talk about its themes and treat them with gravitas even if that turns to melodrama in the bad titles. Like both these intros came out a year apart and the tone alone tells the difference. https://youtu.be/Ev1RsHQcrcI?si=h8btRWMxbaXP2XSYhttps://youtu.be/LCJUoHNCe3w?si=YnZI2OZjnuoQI3w8And I personally think the OG series has a much higher batting average in terms of quality than X but the people crave their chunni content.
>>745034870I think anon was mostly talking about companies like Naughty Dog with their establishment and subsequent abandonment of both Crash and Jax and Daxter.
>>745035293As far as I now, Classic only has a few true stinkers (2 Gameboy, Game Gear, Rockman and Forte Wonderswan, MM1/3 DOS). And go figure, those were all outsourced or licensed to third-parties. Otherwise, Classic is a lot more consistent of a series.

>>745005335what is this retarded shit
>>745005737>>745005895>>745032096Banjo getting in Smash was already a miracle, seems like Microsoft/Rare was only in it for the money and clout and nothing more. Heck say what you want about characters like Geno, K. Rool or even Bubsy but even they have gotten something with or without being in Smash.
>>745034601Seeing people warmup to DK64 after it getting added to NSO is quite the revisionist history.
>>745005335Does Jak not count as a scrimblo? He's kinda funky looking.
>>745035928switch DK with Rayman

>>745007360Cuz she’s a fucking bitch
>>745023374Don’t forget Legacy Collection Slop, I know Video Game Preservation is important but collections should be something to compliment a new entry in the series. A game like Dual Override could’ve been made specifically for the 35th Anniversary. It shouldn’t have taken them until the goddamn 40th, at this rate we’ll get Megaman 13 for the 50th Anniversary in 2037.
>>745036385>Seeing people warmup to DK64 after it getting added to NSO is quite the revisionist history.Because every faggot online who had an opinion about DK64 got it from a random youtuber instead of trying the game themselves.
>>74500694Yeah, should be like Aero the Acrobat, Awesome Possum, and Jersey Devil, Croc’s like the only one that should be there.

>>745021030>Our Hero Tier: Bubsy
I wish Smash autists would articulate why they don't want certain characters in be in better. The relevance argument has been a thing since 2013 on Miiverse when people said they wanted characters like Isaac or Geno, and when you tried to bring up Mr. Game and Watch, Ice Climbers, or ROB up with them they'll say "well, that's different because..." and then they started massively coping with their revised arguments when Duck Hunt was announced. They try to hide behind an arbitrary reason on why they don't like a certain character instead of just being honest and saying "I just don't like the character". Why are they such cowards in admitting they don't like a certain thing? Nobody is going to care if you don't like something, but they will care if you come up with some faulty logic.

>>745037126I hated how Nick Brawl 2 didn’t get a physical release, it was just a download or a code in a box. Fucking Multiversus wasn’t a physical release either but it was a fun free to play, specifically the beta before they took it down and removed the soul.

>>745046047They're such massive faggots.>I hope Geno makes it in!>Dude, IRRELEVANT>So? Ice Climber was a 15 year old game when they got in, and that game was only moderately successful>Yeah well, that was different because Sakurai wanted an NES rep, and hammers made them the best candidate
>>745038714Jigglypuff is the most expendable of the Original 12
Does Star Fox count as Scrimblo?
>>745046563Ness*
>>745018047I thought it came out of smash rosterfagging making fun of everyone who wants THEIR 90s platformer mascot in the game
>>745032096Did he really say that, or did you hallucinate like most zoomtards?
>>745046563>>745046648None of the original 12 should get cut specifically because of their prestige from the first game.
>>745013140Yes, you got it.
>>745044530Ultimate didn’t really have Retro Rep unless you count Simon Belmont or Piranha Plant which would be silly since it’s a Mario character.I remember when Mach Rider was talked about due to being in the Grinch Leak. My personal picks for Retro characters would be Ayumi Tachibana, Excitebiker or Lip (Panel De Pon)But here’s a scary truth to it all By the time the next Smash Bros comes out, the GBA/GameCube era will be as old as the NES/SNES era was for Brawl. So who knows, maybe we'll get Custom Robo, Isaac, and Chibi-Robo as one of the "retro" reps.
>>745020006None, because its a meaningless term most people forgot outside of this website.
>>745046859But if they were to be cut, Ness would be on the bottom of that list. Jigglypuff has always been massively popular to the point of being the fairy type mascot next to Sylveon. Zoomoids only like Ness because he's the inspiration to their troon indies.
>>745046928King K Rool
>>745044530Remember when people could just talk about characters they wanted whether it be 1st or 3rd Party? But nowadays most of the discussion leans towards 3rd parties and anyone who dares mention any 1st parties gets bullied for it. Which is why I low key want Smash 6 to go back to being about Nintendo but it could be a double edged monkey’s paw and they could shove in tons of Pokèmon and FE characters.
>>745024197They are incompetent, but they also admitted that they look at fan designs and will deliberately stray as far away from them as possible, even if a fan design is actually really good.
>>745034870It was a jokeThe Threeie "tease" was always meant to be a joke
>>745046987Ness represents a lesser part of Nintendo's catalogue. You had all the IP's in Smash 64 that were iconic or known within the Nintendo/core gaming circle and then there was Mother/Earthbound. Ness didn't need his game to be a best-seller to get in, that same rhetoric needs to continue, Ness being the oddball of that cast says a lot.
>>745043974
>>745047153>Remember when people could just talk about characters they wantedNo, because I always got people saying my choice was irrelevant despite the most recent game in the series being 3 years old at the time.
>>745047153I made that post, good to see it.Some more points people like to make up as to why a character can't get in>Zelda: This character is a one-off from a game that likely did around 5Mil minimum, but FE having all those one-off lords is different because they're the main character that sold considerably less>Mario/Pokemon: They're overrepresented despite the former being Nintendo's flagship franchise and mascot, and the latter outright becoming its own entity separate from Nintendo itself, even exceeding said mascot in pure sales and recognition. Waluigi regardless of how you feel about him is way more known than most of the 3rd parties people request and would have a much more positive reaction among the LCD>Franchises/IPs like Golden Sun/Stafy/etc.: They're irrelevant and not important, even though K. Rool was getting this same talking points thrown at him until Sakurai said it was okay to like King K. Rool and everyone suddenly agreed with DK fans that he was crucial to the DKC games which put DK on the map period and he wasn't promoting a recent game either, just a bone thrown to the fans>Nintendo IP's/characters not yet playable: They're scraping the bottom of the barrel with those picks, but Bubsy, Hitman, Hayabusa, Dante and Arle deserve to be in because they'll represent a genre or have a port of a 15+ year old game on the Switch or they started on the NES or they'd be unexpected and make Nintendies mad And I don't think they'll go overboard with FE, they realize things got out of hand and with a smaller roster, they'll know people won't react well to four Marths and three avatars. Pokemon deserves all the reps it can get.
>>745047153The damages that Brawl brought to the franchise by opening up the floodgates of 3rd party reps with Snake and Sonic were just the beginning After that it became a wishlist contest with the always fun Kerfuffle threads on which of your fave characters should deserve the future limited spots.Smash 4 included a huge number of famous 3rd party reps and Ultimate even managed to include shitpost characters like Banjo and Steve.I seriously wonder where we can even go from now onwards
>>745048019its HER turn......
A Mario game was the best selling game of the 3rd, 4th and 5th gens(SMB1, SMW and SM64) but that doesn't mean everything was selling like Mario. It was just that game development was cheap enough that you could basically make whatever you want as long as there was something of an audience for it.By 6th gen platformers had become an irrelevant genre and had been supplanted by shooters, sports and GTA. And by 7th gen when the low/midbudget developer/publisher crash was in full swing and whatever survivors were left had to focus on their biggest IPs, platformers were some of the first to get sent to the vaults because outside of Mario none of them were really doing any significant numbers.No major publisher besides Nintendo and Sega really makes platformers anymore and when they do it's shit like Ubisoft doing shit with Rayman for a quick buck or whatever THQ/Atari skinwalker realizes what IPs they're sitting on.You can't really make "crewcut army guy" the same way you can make a mascot platformer, as disposable as a lot of D-list mascot platformers are.
>>745037058Frogger, Pacman and the like exist in a category were their historical significanse saves the from obscurity.
>>745047952Agreed, also, see you in three days.
>>745047153The letter is a thing that always annoyed me too. Prior to that, characters would get invited in a way that was relevant to their series. First time I noticed the letter being egregious was when Joker got announced. Instead of it being a Smash Bros. calling card, it was a letter.
>>745048145>I seriously wonder where we can even go from now onwardsAll gonna depend on licensing, is Nintendo ready to open their wallets again to get EVERYONE from Ultimate back? This includes the music and stages, which might have non-playable characters in it as well. The only ones I can truly see coming back no problems is Sonic (because that IP itself loves to crossover with dam near anything, seriously, there was a fucking Smurfs crossover in Rumble), and Pac-Man, given Namco's history on Smash.
>>745047153I still remember the slow reveals of characters in Brawl done one the Smash Bros Dojo website and the hype around it I want to go back
>>745048019>Zelda isn't allowed to have anymore characters because they'd be one-offs>Fire Emblem is allowed to have as many characters as Pokemon because they're one-offsOH MY GOD THANK YOU this double standard drives me right up the fucking wall
>>745047952MISTER ADVERTISER GET DOWN!!!
>>745048019I hate the people who defend the amount of reps that FE has, absolutely abhorr them. This is coming from someone who's played the series since the GBA series and has it as their favorite Nintendo series too.
>>745005482they hate you but you're right
>>745048019>>745048145>>745048595It honestly feels like 3rd Party Special Guests have become a little over done and also completely polluted speculation to the point that people are getting made fun of for wanting B or C list Nintendo characters in the Nintendo crossover. I want to see some more "less important" Nintendo characters on the roster. Mario Kart's situation is not even close to comparable. All of the "Guests" in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe are still Nintendo characters, barring the one time Mario Kart Arcade game. Mario Kart's history of special guests is much smaller and is not taken as a given. Smash has been doing guest characters for three games in a row and rapidly putting more emphasis on them even making them accurate to their source material (for better or worse) save for Sonic while older characters such as the original 12 age horribly and feel outdated compared to lots of the SSBU DLC. I cannot imagine them going back on it now. Smash Bros might put less emphasis on guests, but I feel like at this point, Nintendo's actual development partners are interested in keeping Smash Bros as an advertisement for them.
>>745048804It's honestly sad we now live in an era where there's a general consensus that a Fire Emblem newcomer is an inevitability, it’s another annoyance of Smash Speculation because you will occasionally get the obnoxious loud FE crowd yelling about their newest flavor of the week protagonist getting in.Yeah sure FE got newcomers every game but the fact that when it double dips, that’s when people start to have a problem with it. Not even Pokèmon double dipped on newcomers whether it’s base roster or DLC, not even counting “Everyone is Here”. I would sooner expect Kirby or Zelda to double dip on newcomers since it’s almost been almost two decades since both got any newcomers.
>>745049739I find myself in the middle. Having charaacters like Wart, Skull Kid, Stanley would be fun. Heck, having Toadsworth being in and smashing people with his cane would be absolute kino. If we're talking characters like Ayumi Tachibana though, I'd much rather have Phoenix Wright. Man feels like an honorary Nintendo character with how wacky the series is, and FDC was probably good at the time, but hasn't really stood to the test of time. People only remember them as Nintendo's old visual novels, and it's never brought up in the visual novel community as must reads.
>>745048259Someone's missing
>>745005737It was probably the same retard who coined "Zanzibart"
Ban rosterfag threads, kill rosterfag posters.No one gives a shit what paid dlc character is coming to your fotm shitty fighting game.
>>745046928I really can't believe some of these characters got in but we never got Ryu Hayabusa
>>745050119Pokemon only got one newcomer and no new stage with SSBU. FE got two newcomers and a new stage. FE officially now stands as getting better treatment for primary content. Not to mention that THREE of its fighters came from SSB4 (meaning 5/8ths of its total lineup came from just the two most recent games).This is not organic, and I wish Sakurai would at least own up to being a biased fanboy and not pull the "oh SHUCKS you guys nintendo totally made me add two more FE guys can't do nothin' bout it" right after putting out a presentation where he's grinning ear-to-ear, about to cum his skinnyjeans over the chance to tell people what FE is after announcing its 8th goddamn character and telling everyone that he got to play the new game early.
>>745048347The Stupid Smash Invitation Letter thing is inconsistent and doesn’t show up in every trailer, even the trailers it shows up in doesn’t make sense. Some characters just magically poof it into their hands. Guess I’ll rank the reveal trailers from best to worst.Sephiroth > Terry > Sora > Hero > Kazuya > Min Min > Piranha Plant > Banjo > Steve > Joker > Pythra > BylethBanjo’s is very low because it resuses K. Rool’s trailer set up. If it was more original like Smash Remix then it would be higher.
>>745048804
>>745049104If Fire Emblem was just 5 reps with no clones I could probably look past it. And that’s being generous.>But removing muh Clones doesn’t get you anything But it still gets rid of unnecessary fat and bloat. Other series like Mother could get Ninten as an echo for example.
>>745046928I don't necessarily think soI know Sakurai is the one who mostly picks the roster but Nintendo themselves seem to concretely treat retro as strictly N64 and priorRetro isn't just age, it's an aesthetic
>>745047952Sonic did the opposite by having a human love interest, in fact when you really think about it, Sonic was hanging around lots of human females in the 2000s because he was just that cool. Shoutouts to Sara from the OVA and Helen from Sonic X.
>>745050789Byleth was definitely the worst. Sothis' "self aware" joke of there being too many swordfighters doesn't make the situation any better. It was like when Larxene made a joke in KH3 about the new organization being "team rehash". The swordfighter argument is shorthand for too many FE units when there's a lot of Nintendo franchises that are neglected or don't even have any representation. Even a swordsman like Isaac would be more acceptable. Imagine all of the psynergy he could use.
>>745050851What's retarded is that Impa is absolutely perfect as an Echo or Alph type deal for Sheik, and she's a precious recurring character. But nope. Marth 4 simply HAD to happen before ever glancing Zelda's way again for the first time in a decade.>>745050936Writing FE's clones off as "not counting" is such a supremely spoiled-brat argument and it pisses me off too. One: clones are still fanservice that other IPs' fanbases might appreciate. Two: if you strip away clones, FE STILL has more non-clone fighters than everyone else except Pokemon and Mario. Three: it's a tacit admission that anime swordfighter characters have become largely same-y junkfood fighters.>>745051118It IS starting to become a general swordfighter moveset issue to be fair, especially after Joker (probably one of the most squandered potentials for a moveset).
>>745050936I'd choose Ephraim over Byleth personally. Also Roy is too iconic with his fire sword to be taken out, so I'd boot Lyn.
>>745051107Who's the bitch to the extreme left? Don't remember her from any Sonic game.
>>745049104I find it weird that Intelligent Systems have never proposed to add Paper Mario or Advance Wars instead of the usual only going with Fire Emblem. But if Paper Mario ever gets added that just means the following game it will be back to just Fire Emblem newcomers again. There’s probably a Timeline where Paper Mario got in over Dr. Mario.
>>745027757I've been looking for this image for a while. Ty for posting it.
>>745051454They don't propose period
>>745051454I wish Intelligent Systems would fuck off already. The FE series doesn't need more exposure through reps as advertisement, and at this point it's turning people off. Corrin never deserved to make it in, and I'd say Byleth too even though 3H was good. Also didn't really care for Lucina and Chrom even though they were clones, Robin was more than enough.
>>745035928I feel like kirby is less balanced and more charming leaning.
>>745051315Nta, but that's Illumina from Sonic Shuffle, she's the Goddess of Dreams. But, seeing that was a spinoff party game, there doesn't seem to be any relation between the stuff shown off in Shuffle and Sonic Dream Team, which introduced Ariem, who while not a goddess, she's a guardian of dream.
>>745005482I agree. I hate the term scrimblo and I don't know when everyone started using it. Sounds ultra-reddit and irony-poisoned.
>>745051883Have a wallapaper of her.
Maginaryworld is the linchpin of my Sonic multiverse game concept.
>>745043673All scrimblo men can be fattened up, they just don't want you to know that because fat bellies are lewd.
>>745051696Much as I'm in agreement, FE has seemingly become a tent pole IP of Nintendo, seeing as it got it's own dedicated direct. Pretty much it's now Mario, Zelda, FE, AC and Splatoon, with Pokemon being somewhere in there (but kind of not as well, given that it's under join ownership).
>>745050936Make a character that's just Fire Emblem Lord and each color is a different character like Dragon Quest's Hero. That's already a ton of FE fanservice without taking up a bunch of dev time. Add a couple others like Byleth (on grounds of 3H being popular) and a Fortune Weaver and that's it.
>>745005335The majority of game developers are lazy hacks who just chase whatever is trendy. Scrimblos became popular because everyone wanted to copy Mario. When GTA became popular, everyone abandoned the childish platformers and switched to "mature" (actually still played by kids) games instead.
>>745052104FE has been mainstream since Awakening though. Before that we weren't even sure if a game would be localized, and the series almost ended there. That was when they started to double down on the reps in Smash despite finally achieving popularity. Nobody complained about how they handled it in Melee and Brawl, but Sm4sh was when they got greedy.
>>745050936I just wish they all weren't fucking sword users, Robin squeaks by with the magic tomes, but fuck man, where are my axe users?
>>745052312>Nobody complained about how they handled it in MeleeOh yeah I'm sure not a single soul was saying "Who the fuck is Marth? Roy? Where's Wario? Metaknight? Pit???"
>>745052525Bro, people didn't know who Ness or Kirby was when they first played smash, and they didn't complain about them. Only retarded zoomoids do that with characters they don't recognize, but they don't count as humans.
>>745005335Because bowlbo
>>745052238They've been chasing 'mature' longer than they've chasing Mario and especially Sonic.
>>745052519Here's the funny thing - Byleth is the "here's your axe/bow/spear user so shut up now" fighter. You're stuck with swordboys forever for every new FE rep.
>>745052824GTA3 (and the GTA PS2 trilogy in general) was a real game changer though. There had been "mature" games before, but none of them reached the same level of popularity and cultural impact. Ubisoft abandoned Rayman for Assassin's Creed and Naughty Dog abandoned Crash/Jak for Uncharted.
>>745051107Yeah, but did he fuck one?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ztp3tpeTupEGex 1 Sonic 0

>>745053576>gets cockblocked by his furry gf>gets cockblocked by his scaly bfSad.
>>745013757Cloud at least makes sense since He's Mr Final Fantasy and FF has had strong history with Nintendo even though the reps shouldve been either Cecil, Bartz, or TerraFaggotroth was a bad addition, but I still prefer him to faggotass persona invading and shitting smash up.
>>745052104>FE has seemingly become a tent pole IP of Nintendo, seeing as it got it's own dedicated direct.Counterpoint: FE only has two smaller squares on the Nintendo Museum Mural and it’s Marth and Chrom. Also FE has had a direct in the past back in 2017, the recent one is not the first time.
>>745005482
>>745052117There’s 3 ways which Smash has handled JRPG representation and fumbles some of them.>For Fire Emblem it over indulges.>For Final Fantasy it’s all about FF7 (the others games before it don’t get a single mention).>For Dragon Quest it’s compressed into one slot with 4 Protagonists as interchangeable alts and different voices too.I think Dragon Quest handles it the best, the other protagonists even show up in the Final Smash. In short Dragon Quest is the best JRPG representative out of them all. I even think it should’ve gotten in a game earlier even if Final Fantasy is more popular worldwide compared Dragon Quest in Japan.
>>745055019Another counterpoint, Zelda is treated by the second most important franchise in its history, yet it can't get a character that isn't another version of Zelda, Link, or Ganon. Not even an Impa.
>>745052312Fun fact: There was actually a time where STAR FOX used to be the Fire Emblem of Smash representation bias.>It got a new character every game until Smash 4.>It was the only non Mario/Zelda/Pokémon veteran franchise to get a Melee newcomer.>Fans complained about it having more characters then bigger series DK and Metroid in terms of the Brawl.>Krystal was a big request character during the early speculation time but people were worried about SF being on par with the 4 characters count with Mario/Pokémon/Zelda. We got Wolf instead.Star Fox representation in Smash was great, until Smash 4 and it sucked as far as Star Fox content goes, and though Ultimate is better, it’s still lacking. Yeah, we got Wolf back due to “Everyone is Here”, but we’re still missing stages, and missed out on a lot of great music from Star Fox 2, Adventures, Assault and even Command, hell, Ultimate didn’t add any new remixes for Star Fox but funnily enough F-Zero got some new remixes in Ultimate.But I think it's more the oversaturation of their introductions. For Star Fox you had one character in 64, then two in Melee, then three in Brawl, back to two in Smash 4, then back to three in Dragon.With the FE cast you had Zero in 64, then two in Melee, still two in Brawl, then six in Smash 4, and then A WHOOPING EIGHT in Ultimate.Even the Pokèmon didnt have a ramp that aggressive.
>>745053848I honestly hate how the Anime Swordsmen complain started to rub off on other characters not from Fire Emblem when it’s always been directed at them and them constantly getting newcomers is how the term got coined. Cloud can also use all kinds of Materia but they didn’t give him that in his moveset.
>>745052838>You're stuck with swordboys forever for every new FE repEven worse, I think from here on out FE is just going to be Avatar Slop not only for the games but also Smash newcomers. Chrom was just a fan service addition and an easy clone.
>>745005685this, thread should have ended there
>>745051118This mostly has to do with Corrin and Byleth, the latter of which probably would have been completely fine if Corrin hadn't happened. That being said, Fighter Pass 1 of DLC was planned from launch, meaning Byleth got special treatment well before his game was a success. Something Pyra and Mythra did not get.Also the vibe that Byleth's trailer gave off was the impression that Byleth was entitled to join Smash Bros no matter what, and it was absurd he wasn't already in. And you can tell with the way Sothis yammers on about it while Byleth looks confused.Nevertheless I always cringe at the “Join Smash Already” line. I’m not sure what’s worse, that or Corrin’s “Big Brother is now Big Sister” line.
>>745051185I love how if you look at the SSBU DLC from a nutshell perspective Byleth is represented by Marth and Lucina (because lol muh fem avatar)
>>745005335I like him
>>745055442FE and Starfox characters are easy to add to Smash, because you only control a limited version of the characters in their own games so the Smash devs can make up their entire moveset to be whatever they like. With most other characters, you are directly controlling the character and seeing their full moveset first-hand. So the Smash devs would actually have to do their homework to come up with a moveset that properly represents them.Technically F-Zero would also be in the same category as FE/Starfox in terms of allowing the devs to make up the entire moveset. But the series is dead and no-one cares about any of the characters outside of Captain Falcon.

>>745005631>>745005737I cannot believe Rare had so many cancelled projects for the Gamecube and GBA, seems like they were ready to support both the GC and GBA full force, curse Microsoft for purchasing them, and Nintendo for not pursuing them.https://youtu.be/q_QQp44KN1Y
>>745005895Aside from Banjo, I think Bayonetta is most expendable 3rd Party Smash inclusion. She only got in because they couldn’t get Sora at the time. And her last new game the 3rd game had so much controversy behind it.
>>745013757it is kinda funny that sora honestly probably should have came sooner considering plenty of KH games are nintendo exclusivethere's 4 of them, which doesn't seem like a lot but they're earlier entries important enough that, counting the cutscene games, technically half of the games in the 1.5 + 2.5 collection are nintendo games (if we're going to throw re;chained in there because it's a ps2 remake of the GBA game), and obv 2.8 is primarily focused around the 3ds game plus the aqua tech demo for kh3. it's not quite as nintendo weighted anymore because of the mobile games and the rhythm game, but still
>>745050523There is a correlation between Scrimblo, and Zanzibart, in that both were originally made to belittle GAMERS, but both were adopted by the very communities they were meant to mock>erm, nobody gaf about ur scrimblo blimblo from a 20 year old game they will NEVER get into smash bros!!!>lol scrimblo dat's good thanks. love this scrimblo btw, what's your favourite scrimblo?>n-no, stop calling them scrimblos, it was meant to make fun of you! IT'S MAKING FUN OF YOU STOP CALLING THEM SCRIMBLOS>omg 'zanzibart forgive me'?? souls writing is such shit ugghhh>lmao truuuu. anyways, check out my sick zanzibart build>STOP NO DON'T ACCEPT ZANZIBART INTO UR HEARTS AND MINDS IT'S MAKING FUN OF YOU AUGGHso anyways starship troopers.jpg

>>745052591kek, I remember someone on the playground trying to say that Ness was like, a puppet owned by Mario or some shit. Yeah, nobody knew who he was, at least in my neck of the woods.Kirby, however, was known.
>>745055442>It got a new character every game until Smash 4. Then it wasn't like FE you stupid nigger
>>745031285Do Nintendies really not have the ability to count? There are 7 characters and 5 graves. Mario is obviously not one of the graves.
>>745056591I'm fucking flabbergasted when I still see people who insist Bayonetta was chosen at all because of the Ballot. They lied about it so that they could tie in the Ballot as a marketing to cap off Smash 4's news cycle with rather than just presenting it factually as a tool for a game that was a couple years away (in part because doing so would be publicly acknowledging the next system and thus an indirect declaration of the WiiU already being as good as dead).
>>745052591Bullshit, everyone knows Kirby.
>>745005335Video games used to be made for younger children first. It meant a lot of colorful mascot characters designed to draw the eye of children and assuage the fears of parents. It was also much easier to create distinctive designs that looked good as pixel art, or low poly art, if your characters weren't human and had exaggerated proportions. It also contributed to better visual clarity to have brighter colors and higher contrast.Then the sixth generation of consoles came out, more of the audience were teenagers, and subtler characters were much more viable. Mascots and platformers had their last hurrah, slightly cooler and edgier in an attempt to keep up. But it didn't last much longer. Realism completely took over the industry with the seventh generation of consoles and obsoleted what was left of mascots and platformers. Now all you get are ironic callbacks like Bubsy 4D and Astro Bot, and remakes of games from 20+ years ago. It's very much the case that most people think of them as a thing of the past, and the only difference is whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.
>>745057889Anyone that didn't know Kirby back then probably didn't recognize most of the select screen.

scrimble character games died because they never moved past platforming collectathons.
>>745069269Where they suppose to move into? To military shooters? Open world rpgs?
>>745069564loreslop open world
>>745036385>>745037158>I feel like most of the hate was autism about 100% completion more than it being a bad game.It's even dumber than that, imo. Most of the hate was from popular YouTubers who came to it later to do a video about it. Which meant they were playing it under a time crunch and any delays to do stupid whatever shit meant more effort before they could put out their video. Which is just so completely alien a mindset up anyone who was playing it as a kid at release. I had DK64 and I probably didn't have any other games for months after that. The game taking a long time to complete or wasting my time with silly busywork like getting every coloured banana was just not a problem. I got the game to 101% just as a matter of course. The gaming landscape is just so unimaginably different now. Even the most broke kid has a million games at his disposal at all times, the idea of even having "a backlog" is probably outdated.
>>745069564Action games. Most of them were heading that way anyway. I'd play a scrimblo DMC if they took the concept seriously enough and wasn't just a shitpost. Hell, Kingdom Hearts gameplay goes just fine with scrimblo aesthetics, and I know for a fact that KH can have mechanical depth while being colorful.Actually, I was replaying Bayonetta a few months ago, and it got me thinking. I could totally see a Rayman 4 that played similarly to that. The way Bayo is structured isn't too far from an action platformer like Rayman 3 was. It even had a scoring system and a ranking after you finished a level. I think competent devs could make it work.
>>745070671Why not an extraction shooter?
>>745042859Count the tombstones, Mario ain't there

>>745071145Dunno, I only heard about the game. I haven't played it.
>>745069269>>745070671This wouldn't work anyway because these games would still be seen as childish in eyes of post-6th gen players age 10 up.
>>745071139fat from all the human men he anal vored
>>745005482I know only one person who actually says "scrimblos" and they are unbearable and autistic. I assume everyone on /v/ who does the same is similar
>>745005482Doggo and pupper are just "hecking cute and wholesome" ways of speaking, Scrimblo is just a random filler name to mean Literally Who from Unimportant Game #254. If you're annoyed with the term you can just say that without making yourself sound crazy
>>745037220i hope they go back to this style. those spider levels scared me when i was a kid. im braver now
>>745005335>Gears of Wars dudebros stop being dicks to JRPG fans, so the latter get to be dicks to platformer fans over fucking Smash
>>745073670it's a fair point because 99% of the faggots spouting "scrimblo" will also delude themselves into thinking they are somehow superior to other retards who also communicate with "quirky" baby talk
>>745073758I'm sad to tell you but GoW dudebros went extinct at least a bunch of years ago.
>>745048259The other day I saw a video pointkng out glw hard was for atari to make a racing game woth all their IP since they don't have recognizable characters like Nintendo or Capcom does. Modern publishers have the same problem most of their characters are interchangeable generic dudes in modern clothes.

>>745046563If Puff is out I know for certain the series is deadYes, if they cut her in Brawl then Smash died there.
Scrimblos (not including Mario) died off because they weren't doing anything original and Mario has so much brand recognition that it's basically impossible to compete with. Not to suck Nintendo's dick, but they have the platformer thing down to a science and consistently innovate with new mechanics.
>>745047153I miss when people could talk about wanting niche Nintendo characters like Sukapon or Excitebiker or whatever without obnoxious zoomers going "hell nah bro (skull emoji) who is this?? Unc really wants a nobody fr no cap (withering rose emoji)"
