1st parties or franchises closely associated with Nintendo are not going to be DLC

> muh banjofags

I don't give a shit about Banjo. You are a moron if you don't think companies push what is essentially marketing at shareholders.

Fuck this theory, I'm one of those people who are expecting a Nintendo character to appear in the fighters pass, because Nintendo is involved with the fighters pass and they should put in one of their characters into the fighters pass.

Saying "we're not limiting the DLC to characters associated with Nintendo" isn't even close to the same thing as "no DLC characters are going to be Nintendo characters" though.

Source? Because that's not what your image is saying at all genius

yeah nah, this DLC raised my hopes and all we got was yet another Musou trash game, just with a different coat of paint.

For all I care, you could buy Masterchief in it and I wont buy any of the DLC shit.
Not to mention that 25€ for 5 fucking characters is a bit much, considering Joker's basic moves literally are copy-pasted from other fighters

And then if banjo gets in you’ll just move on to the next character you don’t like right?

Like how for eight years straight you faggots parroted that Ridley was too big for the game and

I don't care what relationship Nintendo has with Disney, some suit there is going to see it as an easy paycheck and will take Nintendo to the cleaners for use of its likeness if it has to if things like re-releases or long-tailed sales are an effect of the game's success.

Erdick is the better bet because Square-Enix only handles things as a game dev or Japanese dev house should and Dragon Quest is a more iconic staple to Nintendo's history, JRPGs and completes the balance of Square and Enix being represented.

Steve is the better Microsoft rep because Minecraft is a cultural icon that invites many types of players and trains of though on game design. Japan even has its own Minecraft-likes such as Ninja Box and Dragon Quest Builders.

Doomguy is popular, you dingbat. Also Doom releasing on the SNES and having an exclusive version on the N64 were not releases you could not easily sweep under the rug since in the case of the first, it was proof Nintendo loosened up on its policies about violence after giving the okay for Mortal Kombat 2 and their own (at the time) Killer Instinct and the latter was a console exclusive Doom rather than a port like its competing systems had.

Popularity isn't the only factor and even if it was, it can be a subjective one by region and in the case of Dragon Quest a release is a practically a religious holiday in Japan.

2 points
1: Yes but he or she has a lot of animations and moves and expressions, also no matter what you do to the villager, he or she's still the villager. Steve is only Steve if you don't skin him.
2. They own Animal Crossing. if they didn't won that series, no licensing, no negotiations, etc. If they had to cross all the red tape and expenses for Villager he wouldn't even be on the radar.

Attached: maxresdefault.jpg (1280x720, 236K)

This.

The "Is Steve in" debate was over the moment Rathalos got in over a Hunter. They pick what's actually iconic about the franchise to represent and focus on characters for the roster. Monster Hunter is massively successful, especially right now, and it still wasn't enough to get nintendo to license a generic hunter for a playable character while two especially dead vampire hunters from a dead series got to be playable

Minecraft will get the 6th stage slot.

Also consider this:
If I didn't know anything about videogames, and compared Steve as a character to other smash dlc like Joker, Bayo, Cloud, and Ryu, I'd feel like I got ripped the fuck off.
Everyone has these great 3D models with fluid animations and even different facial expressions, but now they're giving me a low-poly, static-faced lego brick that can't even articulate his joints?
Sure, we got minimalist styled characters like G&W and Villager, but this is for the Fighter's Pass. All separately payed DLC that cost the same amount as eachother. I'd want premium work put into every aspect of the character, like it is for the past dlc newcomers. I can't see Steve being the same price as Joker when everything about his design screams: "cheap"
Just my 2 cents

They’re western characters that got repped.
Cope harder over your non-existent rules, faggot.

Chief literally can't get in because he has no history with Nintendo. Unless the Halo collection is getting ported to Switch, he's out.

>Minecraft will get the 6th stage slot.
I believe on that too, Minecraft stage with Steve and Banjo Mii costumes just to make rosterfags seethe

I literally don't care who gets in at this point. The characters I want are already in.
I'm just sick of retards thinking there is patterns or rules to who gets in. Cloud was proof that LITERALLY anybody could get in at this point, and Joker was the straw that broke the camels back. I fucking hate the idea of Chief and Doom and Steve being in the game at all, but after Joker, I won't be surprised if one of them does get in.

>just to make rosterfags seethe
obsessed

I'm sorry but you're wrong. They were definitely surprising because of how distant they feel from Nintendo but on paper they followed all the rules.

1. On Nintendo hardware one time prior to announcement
2. Started in video games
3. Personality
4. Unique gamepay gimmick and/or playstyle

No, kill yourself you stupid fuck.

But nobody in the West plays those games. Almost nobody beside like 3 people.

Not even memeing, if Nintendo wanted to get the otaku and doujinshi audience, Reimu is the best choice by far.

I'm too chickenshit to do it. Now answer my points or go do it yourself if you're so tough!!!

Not him, but Joker and Cloud were literally never on Nintendo prior to their announcement. unless you wanna stretch and say Cloud's cameo in KH: Chain of Memories counts

You're actually going to use Final Fantasy Rhythm and KH CoM as your argument for Cloud being a part of "Nintendo hardware"
Kill. Your. Self.

Cloud was literally playable in that 3DS FF monster hunter clone prior to being in Smash and PQ2 was out in Japan

Joker was in Q2 in Japan a month before the VGAs

>You're actually going to use Final Fantasy Rhythm and KH CoM
Among other games, yes. Still counts.

>a month before
Shit, I mean, I guess you're right. It just seems like it means so little, considering it's minor spinoff stuff. (The way their represented in Smash doesn't even reflect those spinoffs. Midgar isn't that 3DS FF for example.)

Nah, its a 500k series, once Journalists shift gear and start praising it for its traditionalism instead of going "REEEE where are the ubisoft towers? where is the soul-like combat?" it will all get better.

Dark Samus exists and TF2 is far more likely

It's literally just ripped off infiniminer that got lucky with word of mouth. From a game design standpoint it's a decent proof of concept that Notch never actually did anything with because he already made his money. So instead of taking the block destroying and building groundwork and doing something with it he slapped hunger, generic RPG mechanics, a final boss, and a credits sequence on the game and called it a finished product. And the post-Notch support has been more fluff and bloat that doesn't add anything to the experience. For shit sake, Steve is LITERALLY alpha assets that Notch was too lazy to change. And that's not even getting in to stuff like the ass controls, combat, animations, and optimization.

Minecraft is a truly horrible video game. And no, I'm not just saying that because it's popular, I have no similarly negative rant to give about Fornite or Tetris or GTA, I can see some appeal there even if Fortnite and GTAV don't particularly appeal to me. Minecraft is a meritless piece of shit.

The only value Minecraft has is in proving definitively that the masses have actively bad tastes. There is NOTHING more disgusting than somebody who willingly praises Minecraft. Playing and modding it to hell because it's your only option for this style of game in 3D due to it's market dominance is one thing but actually thinking it has any inherent value as a piece of game design is downright subhuman.

If this shareholder and what Regie said are anything to go by then Banjo is out of the question. It's clear they are going with characters that no one would expect in Smash. From this, Steve seems more likely, Master Chief and Doom Guy seem more likely, Leon seems more likely, Dante seems more likely. It's all about Bayonettas and Clouds at this point, not old Nintendo games.

Sora, Chosen Undead, and Leon S Kennedy please! Thank you, Soccer Guy!

Your quote is literally a bunch of fluff that basically boils down to "Not only will our DLC sell, the DLC will sell new units of the base game as well" And everything around that is bluster.

They basically want to pander to the phonefag type of outsider casual audience, if their shareholders Q&A is to be treated as gospel. Here's the full excerpt from what they had to say on Ultimate and LGPE (I almost never see this in full on Yea Forums):

>"With Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!/Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!, we asked 'How could we reach people who had played Pokémon GO, for example, but never played Nintendo Switch?' With Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, we asked 'How could we reach not only fans of the Super Smash Bros. series, but also those who had never played it before?' If you look at the demographics of the consumers who purchased each of these titles, Iʼm not convinced weʼve completely overcome these challenges yet. So our aims are to keep working on them this year, to expand sales of these titles to new consumer demographics, and to keep selling these games for a long time, which is one of our strengths."

Source: gamesradar.com/heres-what-you-need-to-know-from-nintendos-investor-qanda-new-online-switch-game-and-more/

It's kinda buttfuck insane that Ultimate hasn't satisfied their expectations considering it's the best selling game in the series already at just under 14 million and doesn't show signs of dying quite yet. I also don't get this retarded need to try and capture casuals again on console when LGPE made it clear that such a focus will fucking cripple the legs of a game (LGPE sold fine in its first month but hasn't budged since).

>If this shareholder and what Regie said are anything to go by then Banjo is out of the question.
He appeals to new demographics and isn't associated with Nintendo technically by being an Xbox-owned character.
You could say he's both. (Associated with Nintendo in a spiritual sense AND part of a different demographic) So I wouldn't throw him out of the equation so soon.
If we're getting an MS character, I personally believe it's between him and Chief.

Banjo

>He appeals to new demographics
How so? His fans are all boomers who owned a 64. How is he going to attract a new demographic?

Megami Tensei started on Nintendo too, so already it's proved wrong.

Many people first experienced him on the 360 or with Rare Replay. It's not as outlandish as it seems.

I mean, picking DLC characters that will appeal to different people is a bit different to trivializing a series like they did with LGPE.

>Hating on daddy Kiryu

You fucked up son.

>They basically want to pander to the phonefag type of outsider casual audience

This is probably what they are up to. That and attracting zoomers with shit like Fortnite or Minecraft.

I'm sorry, user. I just can't agree with you.

It would have if Joker's pack included anything from the games on Nintendo consoles, but it was pretty clear none of those mattered to them sadly.

The quote doesn't even say they're going to use the DLC characters to do this. And how would they continue to push LGPE to non-Nintendo demographics when it's a finished game with no post-game support? If anything this indicates to me that they're talking about the MARKETING of both games if this does in fact mean anything (and I have my doubts that it does.)

It's 90% fluff to make the shareholders happy, they know that Pokemon and their core multiplayer titles (Mario Kart, Smash, Party) will continue to sell regardless so they're just coming up with fancy wording to assure their shareholders that the games won't stop selling. And the other 10% still isn't talking about the content, it's talking about how they reach non-Nintendo fans.

A lot of boomers dropped off of Nintendo for good after the Wii and DS.

I'm honestly surprised Jack is absent. Not even a png. At least it debunked another fake leak though.

Considering leaks are indicating old characters like Erdrick are gonna be part of the pass, I'm not entirely too sure the shareholder Q&A is much to hang stock on.

The bit at the bottom says that not being associated closely with Nintendo isn't a limiting factor, not that they are specifically aiming for these franchises. As long as they pick series that can bring in new people to smash, that's all that counts, and the way they will do that is simply picking characters from series that's fanbases don't have much overlap with the Smash fanbase. Joker is a good example, how often did you see people wanting Joker before he was announced? I'm sure he'll bring in some Persona fans. Basically, if the Smash fanbase doesn't want it, that just makes it more likely.

Minecraft is already over 10 years old, though, so if anything it would be for millennials as well.

Each coming day i'm glad Yea Forums has no voice on whoever gets into the game

Two fucking sources from Nintendo corroborate on the same thing. Sure it doesnt outright deconfirm, but you cant deny that certain characters like Banjo are in contrary to what Nintendo is looking for.

See? This is why I like to show the full thing to people who use this shareholders' Q&A response. DLC isn't specifically mentioned (although I won't rule out one or two more casual/outsider-pandering shit picks), plus even for Nintendo it'd be absolutely buttfuck retarded to try and change marketing course with Ultimate after it proved successful with its initial direction.

Can't have that, though, can we? Just doesn't lend itself well enough to non-effort roster warfagging and wojakery.

There's going to be quite a few people who bought the FP preemptively. A lot of people just want all the characters. Some people will just buy a character if they look cool or their stage looks cool. With stage builder added, I'm sure a lot of people will be tempted by the music they can use. For the people that didn't buy everything, sure, they miss out on a 6 dollar sale. If they can bring in new customers though, that's a 66 dollar sale at minimum.

Why would Nintendo want to appeal to this niche group of people? At least with Persona it's not entirely a otaku franchise, it just has a lot of anime-esque stuff to it and has cool demons and shit. Touhou is equivalent to a Madoka Magica game, it's not mainstream enough to cater to Persona weebs it's just something popular to a certain group of people and no hardcore gamer wouldn't cringe at the sight of a character from a magical loli game being in Smash

>It's better than trying to sell to the people who already payed
It's literally not, an inordinate amount of people already bought Smash, it's one of the best selling games in Nintendo's history. There's more profit to be had in not alienating those buyers and getting 25-30 more dollars out of them than there is not getting as many purchases out of the current buyers and hoping you get enough people willing to make a 360 dollar purchase (game+console) for ONE 6 dollar DLC.

Do you really think Corrin sold as much as Cloud? Don't be naive. The DLC may be safe from utterly flopping because of people who want to own every character but Nintendo is still interested in maximizing profits. And maximizing profits comes from a balance of taking advantage of the current massive install base and simultaneously trying to stimulate more base game sales.

Joker may not be a ballot voted character but to claim that his inclusion completely disregards core Smash fans is naive. They both have the same just above highschool-just short of literal boomer male majority demographic and a lot of the Nintendo fans who buy SMT games have played the Persona titles as well. By arguing that the rest of the characters will be like Joker you're already arguing that Smash fans won't be entirely disregarded, because the one attempt we've seen to branch out beyond Smash fans right now was still very careful to keep them in consideration.
It doesn't matter what character you can cook up, the fans who made Smash Ultimate one of Nintendo's most successful titles of all time will maintain the majority buying power by a large amount, so Nintendo has to make sure they keep that group satisfied while branching out.

Uh huh that's some nice Smash Ultimate news you got there

Banjo is not really a Nintendo-associated character at this point in time, so you do have a point there.

The issue here is, you're looking for an exception to the rule when Reggie already said that Joker is emblematic of what to expect for DLC.

What does this prove? Yeah PS4 is the master race doesn't mean people actually like DQ as much as in the West.

The Dragonborn from Skyrim just for laughs

Played P5 and you guys aren’t honestly missing much. SMT is where it’s at.

>Sakurai: I consulted the ballot when selecting characters this time
The quote your clinging to doesn't mean nearly as much as you think it does.

Xbots dont give a shit about him though. If they did, another Banjo game would be in development. Nintendo would be better of appealing to them by getting Master Chief or another FPS character

>le smug reaction destroys your argument XD

You can't reason with him user, he's unironically stapling two quotes together to turn them into one quote.
His entire argument is hinging on these two quotes given at completely different times to different people referring to one another.

The branching out quote from the shareholder meeting doesn't state that they're using DLC to branch out to new demographics, it even says they're going to do this with LGPE AND Smash, and LGPE doesn't have DLC, suggesting it has nothing to do with DLC.
And Reggie's quote doesn't guarantee that every single DLC character will have no association to Nintendo and ignore fan requests.
But when you staple these unrelated quotes together and act like they're both on the same train of thought, then, and only then, does Business 101-kun have an ""argument""

You think nintendo would add a motherfucker with a broken arm into smash? I like him but most of his moves are variations of "jump and slam sword into everyone". Oscar and Solaire Would be better representatives of dark souls. Hell, make a character than has a mediu shield and kinda short sword and you can make every skin a different armord set, changing the weapon from sword to mace and axe. even better if added fire and lightning moves so pyro and faith builds are represented. fuck int fags

They were obviously referring to the future of both franchises. For Pokemon, that's Sword and Shield. For Smash, it's the DLC.

>And Reggie's quote doesn't guarantee that every single DLC character will have no association to Nintendo and ignore fan requests
It does when you consider the NUMEROUS leaks that point to Steve - you can easily see why Nintendo would prioritize Steve over Banjo, as Steve has a significantly higher pull compared to a dead franchise. More and more evidence is piling against you pathetic fucks and your sheer denial over this is entertaining me greatly.

You mean two official statements from the same company that are completely in sync with each other? Nintendo's goals and intentions cannot be any more clearer here. At this point, I'm convinced that you've gone absolutely mad.

If it hasn't clicked for people before, the last couple weeks have made it abundantly clear that the narrative of "Stevefagging is all totally just an ironic subversive parody of rosterfags you guys" doesn't hold water at all.

Sorta like FE representation in Melee (for the west at least).

Erdrick would be the least unique character on the roster. Just think for a moment.

It all depends on how the projectile works and shit, by your standards what character is even barely unique? Everything can be vaguely linked to something else in the game.

Because they're a dedicated source of income and are willing to throw tons of money at Nintendo if pandered to? Whether you like it or not, Nintendo has already started movingnin that direction with Fire Emblem and Xenoblade. It's really not that big of a stretch to say they might get pandered to in the Smash DLC

Yeah right, and I wanted Erdrick since 88.

>Relatively unknown

I know at the very least I've been wanting this character longer than you've been alive.

Imagine being this much of a zoom zoom

nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/syukeiken/return549.html

I counted like 20 from a total character count of over 130 characters, and a bunch of them aren't even all that popular. Pokémon is a bigger offender in that regard.

Well why add anyone new at this point then if it all comes down to just functions?

Persona audience is ridiculously small. Nintendo don't need them. It's just that Sakurai genuinely liked the game. It's not about audience or representation it's all about Sakurai tastes and his nationalistic views.

Sakurai created Smash Bros because of King of Fighters

Space Invaders or Q*Bert would make my day

What the fuck is this new cope saying that persona isnt popular? Is it just a troll or what? Persona (Especially persona 5) is fucking huge, its what made Atlus even relevant.

Reimu would be Megaman and Palutena fused together and on steroids.
Also I'm getting tired of posting this video again and again. Frisk can do much more than you think.

P5 barely outsold ARMS despite its $20 price point.

GBA being Nintendo's worst selling Handheld and still struggling to keep up with the GBC in 2001.
It was out in Japan earlier, yeah, but int he west he would have to got it at release and then spend the rest of December playing it and at the same time like the experience well enough to desire he in Smash immediately after. I have an easier time believing user is a lying faggot.

Reimu has a lot to work with movesetwise. She's been in many fighting games, and her debut game was unique in how she controls her yin yang orb to hit enemies. Even her bullet patterns in the shmups are unique enough to make an interesting zoner.

Nah, we went full retard this thread, all these moves are similar in some way to other moves other characters have therefore Frisk would be an echo.

Are you even watching the video

>Sword normals
Already in smash
>Umbrella
Peach, isabelle, and villager
>Dancing
Wii Fit Trainer
>Shooting things
We have plenty of those
>Bird up b
Duck Hunt
Wow pretty generic honestly

And the morality bar? Chara mode?

2b
Heihachi
Kabuki from Far East of Eden
Geralt
There's your newcomers

Well in Pokemon you focus more on the Pokemon then the trainer

Joker and cloud already have limit, sounds boring

Oh no? You might be right and I might have only bought the game in 2002? Oh no, one whole year of difference, this surely makes me the faggot.

I bought it a week or two after release brand new. It's not a hard game, and I was a friendless loser, so I beat it in like two weeks. How is that so difficult to understand?

That's even worse considering all the porn of the Pokémon themselves.

Nintendo is a Japanese company, dumbass. Touhou is fucking massive over there.

>Controls her yin yang orb
We already have controllable orbs with ness and lucas. She deconfirmed

>Meme waifu that has never been on Nintendo
>OK character
>A PC Engine character that existed in opposition to Nintendo's Zelda, FF and DQ and Sega's Phantasy Star getting in before DQ. classic FF or Phantasy Star. Still based I guess.
>Fucking meme character from some eurojank sex simulator that has also never been on Nintendo.
2/4 are terrible, try again.

Watch the full video. Look over what kind of moveset s/he'd have, and then tell me if it is or isn't unique.

So you liked the dude for one month before deciding you wanted him in Smash and you are a 'true fan' but I wanted Steve and Minecraft in smash for years and I am somehow a 'fake fan who only does it to win'. I fucking hate this community.

I did, everything can be vaguely traced back to some character or another, or assist trophies.

Are you mad at me because someone else hates on your character? Is it right for you to take it out on me, a random anonymous?

Where's the fucking justice in that?

You do realize that businesses can be sued if they mislead their shareholders.

Retard, many wanted Rex and Spring Man before their games were even out

Alright user, let me teach you a thing or two. Touhou is popular in japan for the same reason Hatsune Miku is, it's the exact same audience basically. Why would Nintendo cater to this small group of people? Touhou isn't massive, it's a niche community filled with a lot of people that you would never find out about unless you had to seek it for yourself

First parties are going to be second wave DLC, but they're focusing on third parties first to ensure it sells well.

It's what happens when such a huge number get disconfirmed in one go.

No, they dont work like PK thunder. And I know you already made up your mind about Reimu, so I won't even bother elaborating.

GOOD MOOOOOOOORNING Yea Forums! Just wanted to remind you that we’re another day closer to Steve (yes, THE Steve from Minecraft) getting confirmed in Smash Ultimate! Make sure to save your tears for the upcoming Fighter Pass when Steve walks into the spotlight!

>H-HAH! VIRGINBEN SAID THE TOPDOWN WASN’T LINK’S AWAKENING! HE WAS FINALLY WRONG! STEVE ISN’T IN SMASH!!!!!
“No!”

Yikes! That’s a large assumption. How can one “questionable” prediction instantly invalidate a history of success? Unlike your “Grinch leak” Banjocucks, Steve has a lot more distribution among other leakers. Ever heard of MasterOfHyrule, Hitagi, 7chan, and 5channel? And while you’re busy obsessing over Vergeben, care to explain how the topdown remake Vergeben predicted was exactly the title he said wouldn’t be featured? Seems a bit suspicious if you ask me, but feel free to continue your denial. Your tears of disappointment will be all the more sweeter!

>b-but Banjo has a good history with Nintendo! He’s gotta be in!
“No!”

Sorry Banjo fags, but the Microsoft rep is taken by yours truly! Why would Nintendo choose a dead character over the marketing potential of the highest grossing game of the 21st century? The DLC characters have also been confirmed to be “surprising” according to the developers, so I’m afraid your years of crying for Banjo are going to be subverted once again with the reveal of our favorite underdog! But feel free to continue your denial. Your tears of disappointment will be all the more sweeter!

>b-but Microsoft has a good relationship with Nintendo rn! He’s gotta be in!
“No!”

Sorry Stevefags, but the Microsoft rep is taken by yours truly!, Just because Nintendo & Microsoft are making Minecraft stuff on Nintendo's consoles & handheld's doesn't mean Steve is in, & Why would Nintendo choose a terribly animated character over a character that has been requested ever since Melee & Phil Spencer acknowledged Banjo & Kazooie being in Smash instead of Steve? Sakurai went way out of his way to talk up Persona 5 before Joker's reveal, guess what other game he's talked up? That's right it's Banjo & Kazooie back then. Don't forget that the Minecraft dev team De-confirmed that blockhead, also, the Smash Ultimate Joker showcase that came out in April, it was a green witch, hinting Banjobros & Kazooiebros are coming in Ultimate. Also, the new google leak that showed up?, that confirms Banjo & Kazooie bitches. The DLC characters have also been confirmed to be “surprising” according to the developers, so I’m afraid your years of crying for Steve are going to be subverted just like Erdrickfags, Dongobongfagget, BillyBo10k, & Virginbitch with the reveal of our favorite underdog! But feel free to continue your denial. Your tears of disappointment will be all the more sweeter & bitter!

Yes, surprising for the fans because the characters aren't gonna be a part of the ballot circlejerk cringefest.

OK.

surprising picks for the fans makes me think that they're implying fan-geared picks. if it was surprising picks TO the fans, that'd be a different story.
the meaning of that has to be taken with salt, though. all of this does. we don't know shit about what's going to happen

Because Joker was geared towards the fans, right? How high did Persona characters land on the popularity polls again?

FEEBLE EARTHLING! Why would Nintendo choose a character who hasn't made as nearly as big of an impact than the Space Invaders have, and is nowhere near as recognizable and mainstream as them? Keep in mind that without Space Invaders, your little blockhead (as well as many, many other Smash staples) wouldn't likely even EXIST! And don't think you're safe, either, Banjolings. The DLC characters have also been confirmed to be “surprising” according to the developers, so we're afraid your "popularity" wanks for Steve and Banjo are going to be obliterated with the reveal of one of the most influential and recognizable video game enemies of all time!

What does PC have to do with anything? Just a single Microsoft rep wouldn’t be typical

because they are the equivalent of whales in gachas, they´ll buy EVERYTHING realated to X

Not just relevant, but more popular than Doom.

I could see something similar to that being their design, would decently retain the iconic look while not being a nightmare for the model animators.

exactly, which is my point. people thought they'd be fan picks and then joker showed up
take. everything. with. grains. of. salt.

Doom is one of the games that cemented PC as a platform through the shareware model?

I can see the general MS content being more substantial than the Persona content since we can argue that the Sonic/Sega content that came with it is already in the game (Sonic and Bayonetta spirits, hence the Sonic Mii costumes.)

Whichever of the 3 get it, be it Chief, Banjo or Steve, I believe the others will be Mii Costumes and/or Spirits, with other spirits from Rareware titles, etc. being included.

Nakoruru is more popular than Kyo

> banjofags always on the offensive cause they are insecure about their stupid little bear not getting in

Well it is metal so I can see what you mean but the music is different and his armor changes in the new one, any other complaints?

I mean to be fair, when you've had as violent shitposting against you as they have. It would give quite the persecution complex.

You think that's gonna stop them from throwing in a gen 8 Pokemon starter to shill? Laughable.

The idea of creating a fighter with simple inputs and easy to pick was because he felt remorse in beating a couple in KoF 95

Lucario has the option to not attack a single time yet as he is beat up his attack power increases. Frisk isn't unique so deconfirmed.

>starts when the first one comes out and not when it goes on sale

thats stupid

Right, if we include Plant in the DLC season, which came out 2 months after release, April after that. June means an E3 launch. Late August/September for the usual September direct. November/Early December for the game's anniversary and then Feb 2020 for DLC5 puts them as roughly bimonthly.
