But I do, though.
I do.
But i'm afraid square enix won't let him have more than two songs.
Didn’t he help out with the battle system, though?
Wasn’t that because of FF’s copyright being an absolute mess? TWEWY doesn’t have that many problems in comparison, imo.
Oh, it is? that makes it better.
What is the best song and why is it Deja Vu?
Are you retarded?
You sure about that, man?
>Kando: In the beginning the three of us kept sending game ideas and were in arguments about it.
>Arakawa: Right. I remember being chewed out by Mr. Nomura. He’d say “No, we could do this on the PSP,” or something like that. The hurdle was really high from the get-go, because we set out to create “a game that can only be played on the DS.”

>Working on the title now, the experience of making the DS title It's a Wonderful World that released last year was very helpful. It's a Wonderful World from the planning stages aimed to make use of the DS's features, it became a game that utilized the functions of both screens and the touch panel only the DS has, where you could carry out a battle that was simultaneously different on the top and bottom screens. I personally researched the DS while developing It's a Wonderful World, wondering what to do to make Kingdom Hearts work on the DS. As a result, I felt the best response would be to bring the action elements natural to the Kingdom Hearts series to the DS, a reverse idea to the new directions that It's a Wonderful World took to when adjusting to the DS, furthermore I had confidence that it could be powered up and new elements could be implemented.
>As a matter of fact, I tried to make the title of It's a Wonderful World only numbers, but because it was a new series, I gave up the number title since I feared it people wouldn't remember it.

I DIDN'T PLAY HIS LITERAL WHO GAMES REJECTS FROM POPULARITY THE DS WAS THE MOST OVERCROWDED SYSTEM OF THEM ALL WITH GAMES COMING FROM ANYTHING RESEMBLING A HOLE ALL I SEE IS AN OBSTACLE WHO CAN PREVENT MY MOST WANTED FROM GETTING IN THE FUCKING GAME
The sad thing is that there are people actually on this board who are unironically like this.
Who is your most wanted?
Deja Vu is fucking magical, man.
Used to constantly pause and unpause the game just to get it playing.
youtu.be
That's who.
In all seriousness, Ultimate brought in the 3 best characters and I'm already set on 2 mains. All I can come up with is a fixed Sonic, Ray 01 who's been dead for more than 10 years, and Zero who's an assist.
Razor from Need for Speed
Nero would be pretty based to have in Smash, though Dante would be cool as well.
>Zero
Same here. People might give him shit for being a swordsman but he’s too based for me to care.
I didn’t even say anything like that, man. I was just pointing out that he actually played a bigger role in TWEWY than you might’ve thought.
I actually kind of like X and Axl.
I like X too. Axl needs to learn how to use his copy shot better tho.
Hopefully Megaman X9 comes out and Axl gets a buff for his Copy Shot.
Daily reminder that Neku’s moveset potential is absolutely insane.

TIME
I WON'T EVER GIVE IN
>all of this great moveset potential
>we might end up getting Erdrick instead
Damn it.
NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU PULL ME IN
I KNOW GRAVITY AIN'T AN EXCUSE
I JUST WANNA MAKE THINGS A LITTLE MORE SMOOTH
MAJORITY IS STILL ASLEEP
Nintendo please
>that moveset
The only thing I would change is making Neku’s Final Smash the Fusion he used against the final boss but other than that, it’s perfect.
THEY’RE TIRED OF THOSE DREADFUL DREAMS
NOW LET ME SHOUT AND WAKE YOU UP
NOW LET ME SHOUT AND WAKE YOU UP
LET ME WAKE YOU UP
Aside from Sora, he's my next most wanted. Sora's more likely due to his popularity, but that would just make Neku that much more of a surprise pick. Most of his moveset or at least half of it would have to be somewhat magic based. Plus we should expect Shiki to be in his moveset figuring how Joker got all of the Phantom Thieves modeled and modestly animated.
His music would be the best in the whole Smash game, even above Persona music for me. I think there would actually be some internet outrage if Squeenix only gave us 2 songs. If Sora makes it in, then I'd hope for at least 1 song to be the DDD version of Calling just so we could get a TWEWY song.
Neku would be great because people can’t bitch about him being an anime swordsman due to how he doesn’t even use any. I can see people calling him an anime Ness or Lucas, though.
HAPPY GO LUCKY YO HERE I AM
I’M NOT A YUPPIE OR A PUPPY, YEAH, HEAR ME ROAR
Everyone has something to complain about whatever fighter people suggest. But its good for any character to not be an anime swordsman, cause that one does have some valid criticism due to the amount of sword fighters we have.
Yeah, I agree. Neku would be a refreshing change of pace due to how much variety the pins in TWEWY allows for when it comes to abilities and if his moveset is hype enough, I can see more people coming around to him.
WHEN THE SUNSET DYES THE SKY SO BRIGHT, SHE FREAKS ME OUT WITH HER SECRET SMILE
STARS ABOVE START TO SHINE
FOR MILES AND MILES I WONDER WHY
If Neku were to get in, what songs would you want with him? Three Minutes Clapping is a must, imo.
Someday and Transformation for me. Throw in some Deja Vu and Calling as well.
wtf, I want to fuck Neku now.
How would you make his stage special, Yea Forums?
Any other areas is your choice, but I assume Scramble Crossing would be the best choice.
>Why don’t you guys want Neku for Smash again?
Because he's a literal who
>literal who
>when the game is considered to be one of the best games on the DS and is a relatively popular cult classic, to the point that it got a Switch rerelease
>not knowing who Neku is
Dumb zoomer.
We know, Joshua
>pretending a switch rerelease means anything
user...
Give Me All Your Love, Junk Garage, Transformation, Hybrid, Tatakai, and literally any other song they can fit. If I had it my way I'd put most of TWEWY's soundtrack in.
The game is more than 12 years old at this point, user. That kind of staying power doesn’t just come out of nowhere.
>Tatakai
My nigga.
youtu.be
Say what you will about the ports but having this as Beat’s battle theme was a great call.
>we’ll never get a port that has the original battle system along with the enhanced songs and content from the ports
Fuck.
youtu.be
Bruh, neku's my main pick
>lance lunge
Just me but i feel velocity crash would work better in that context
Have noise show up as stage hazards, maybe have them be summoned by the Reapers
>not rooftop or meme dimension
yikes
I don't remember EVER hearing this, what the fuck
>Progfox shows up with goddamn Mega Flare
I can dig it.
It was included in the ports as Beat’s boss theme. It’s one of the best songs in TWEWY, imo, and fits Beat incredibly well.
>Why don’t you guys want Neku for Smash again?
Because it wouldn't be right without a partner battling with him on another stage. And I'm not sure how that would even work.
FOLLOW MY LEAD
SCREW THAT
PICK IT UP PHONES
I'M THERE
There's been two solo remixes at this point, it'll be fine
or they can do as said and have the partner come in as a special
Long Dream, Someday, Transformation, Any or multiple Twister version, Give Me All your Love, The One Star, Emptiness And (Switch version), Wake Up.
Would it even have the vocals? Bayonetta's tracks had vocals removed, same for Snake Eater.
>square enix
>competent
Pick one and only one. You should be thankful they have not shit TEWNEY up with sequels and only 1 dog shit switch port
Counterpoint: Persona has the lyrics intact (aside from a tiny lyric change in mass destruction to meet the age rating)
You should be more worried about them potentially altering the lyrics
Persona has vocal tracks inside Smash so TWEWY would probably be fine. They probably won’t put in Give Me All Your Love, though, due to this.
>FEEL ME WHEN YOU COME INSIDE
Hell no, he looks like he's gay for that silver-haired kid? Don't want no anime emo zoomer faggots in my Smash.
Oh right, completely forgot Persona.
>tiny lyric change in Mass Destruction
I never noticed.
>Neku
>emo
>gay for Joshua
He’s canonically a chad who’s attracted multiple women, you dumb shitposter. If anything, Joshua’s gay for him.
>vagina bones
Based Nomura
Lemme guess, you threw a fit when Joker got in?
>be Neku
>be so much of a chad that just buying clothes gets multiple older women wet at the sight of you
Absolutely based.
Basically the damn right line got changed into either all right or all night (i can't really tell to be honest)
I want Neku to get in Smash just so there can be fanart of him and Joker bonding over their ability to attract older women.
TWEWY X P5 fanart would be great to see in general.
Agreed.
Post more.
Great, now I want a P5 x TWEWY crossover.
IS THIS A CURSE OR JUST A HARSH LONG WINDING RIVER WHERE THOSE FLOWERS FLOAT?
I KNOW YOU CAN STOP IT’S FLOW ON A WHIM SO I HAVE LEARNED TO SWIM
This thread got me all excited for Neku but we're probably getting that bland looking DQ guy
This sucks bros
I know your pain, bro. It hurts.
UNTIL THE TIME IS UP, I CAN’T GIVE UP ON YOU
BEFORE THE TIME IS UP, I’LL LEAVE ALL MY REGRETS
BETWEEN THE LINES AND LINES, I AM LOST AGAIN
UNTIL THE TIME UP, I’LL NEVER GIVE THIS UP
WHY YOU WANT TO TIE ME UP?
GET OUT OF MY CAUSE I’M ON MY WAY
Bruh
I DON’T CARE ABOUT IMAGINARY BOUNDARIES
?
BUT SOMEHOW I’M AFRAID TO GO OVER THEM
COVER UP ALL THE SCARS AND MEMORIES
Neku would be an awesome pick solely due to how many options he has as a fighter. Whether it’s rushdown attacks, firing at enemies from long distances, and or even both. His potential is insane in that regard.
CREATIVITY IS ALL THAT I’VE GOT
SO LET ME SHOUT AND WAKE YOU UP
I have a bunch of dumb reasoning as to why I think Neku will be in the fighters pass.
>Comes from one of the most critically acclaimed DS games
>Has crazy moveset potential
>Would fit in with the whole "expect the unexpected" theme (name is never thrown around in speculation)
>Character should be at least known in Japan and the USA to be in the fighters pass. (those are the only countries video game marketers care about, as those provide most of the sales)
> Neku is probably more well known over here than Erdrick is.
> TWEWY on DS and Switch have combined 1,000,000 sales (that's not even including mobile)
>Sakurai likes if the character has an action figure to model off of for accuracy
>Neku recently got an action figure (doesn't make him confirmed, but slightly raises his chances, Chrono doesn't have a figure)
>Nintendo probably wants customers to get as much content as possible in the fighters pass without the consumer feeling ripped off
>The reason we got so little FF music and spirits was because Square makes companies pay more if they want to use assets from one of their "flagship IP's" so Nintendo payed for as little as they could to save money.
>Square would probably do something like that again for DQ or KH
>TWEWY, on the other hand, is a small obscure game, they'd have less to lose and make Nintendo pay less for more music and spirits based on TWEWY.
> youtu.be
>Sequel was teased at the end of Final Remix and has some rumors going around
>Smash would be a stupid easy way to promote it
>Sakurai said recently that the fighters pass could be used to advertise
>Square could use this big crossover game to promote their niche-as-all-hell JRPG to get more customers.
If we get a sequel announcement at E3, then he's in.
Fuck, forgot the whole Kingdom Hearts cameos and mobile games, makes him way more relevant than Erdrick or Chrono and therefore more likely.
His small popularity is the only thing against him, and it is also the biggest thing against him. But I have a feeling he'll be a dark horse of sorts and get in.
That actually makes a lot of sense. Now I want Neku in even more.
Reminder this game is also a timed exclusive
Wasn’t TWEWY FR also published by Nintendo themselves? It would be an absolute breeze to get TWEWY content in compared to the copyright nightmare that is KH and FF.
>tons of moveset potential
>great music full of remix potential
>protag of a cult classic GBA/DS/3DS game series that took full advantage of each system’s hardware
>later got a Switch rerelease published by Capcom themselves
I think Phoenix is in boys
you're mom is a timed exclusive
Phoenix would be pretty based as well. The DS could always use more reps.
>mfw the only DS rep we have is technically Lucario
LET ME WAKE YOU UP
Phoenix is technically a GBA rep.
Fair point.

He would be a good candidate, so many move possibilites. Like Shantae & Shovel Knight, don't really care about those two tho.
That and we know Sakurai's talking through Nomura when dealing with Squeenix and TWEWY is his fucking baby.
SO I DON’T ACT LIKE SOMEONE ELSE
UNTIL THE TIME IS UP, I CAN’T GIVE UP ON YOU
i like this twister
youtube.com
do you imagine the trailer starting with that banjo guitar thing instant 10/10
Twister Kingdom Mix is a 10/10 remix.
BEFORE THE TIME IS UP, I’LL LEAVE ALL MY REGRETS
BETWEEN THE LINES AND LINES, I AM LOST AGAIN
Damn, I knew there was crossover fanart potential here, but I didn't know people already made some. Now I just want to see all of the ones that get made if Neku gets in.
Imagine the TWEWY/Splatoon crossover art.
>TWEWY is his fucking baby.
That's Kingdom Hearts you dunce. Nomura didn't even produce TWEWY
He was the creative producer, dude.
AHEM. Did you not hear? TWEWY is being absorbed by the KH franchise.
Neku can't be in Smash because they need to add the MAIN CHARACTER first.
FUCK EDRICK AND FUCK NEKUFAGS
Cringe.
Nomura did the art. Nothing else. It's not his game at all
Hurts me too man. I just hope we do get a second character announced along with the possible fighter Erdrick so that it doesn't burn as bad.
Travis strikes again
Really?
Why would Neku get in before "second most successful launch in Square Enix history" Sora?
Because KH is a copyright nightmare.
See? Not his game
Didn’t say it was but saying that he only did the character art and nothing else is just flat out false, dude.
No it's not. It's actually the easiest out of all the SE franchises.
So easy that Good Smile Company, a small toy company, was able to get the rights for Sora to make a figure of him
>KH
>easier than TWEWY
I highly doubt that.
BASED
>IP count didn’t even go up
Really, man?
Square Enix is HELL to work with in a legal sense. Sora only needs Disney's consent, then they can bring Nomura in as a consultant. Getting Neku would be too troublesome
Explain how Nintendo was able to publish Final Remix and promote the hell out of TWEWY, then. By contrast, the FF ports were published by Square themselves.
>Nintendo was able to publish Final Remix
They didn't
>promote the hell out of TWEWY
They DEFINITELY didn't lol
Honestly having him get in could be the best thing for TWEWY. Sin in punishment got put on the marketplace and got a sequel just from saki being a friggin assist trophy. If neku made it onto the roster a sequel to TWEWY would pretty much be guaranteed.
Unfortunately I'm pulling for Saki, I still haven't given up.
>The thread is about to dissolve into another Sora Vs. Neku debate
Why can't we just get along
Because Neku was literally made to exist in Sora's shadow and acting otherwise is downright ridiculous
Because this is Yea Forums and people here only seek one thing: Conflict. They want to fight. Why get along when one can get so much more satisfaction and clout by dabbing on the haters?
>being this retarded
nintendo.com
Check the bottom and also there’s like 6 trailers for Final Remix.
It’s a falseflagging fag pretending to be a Sora fan trying to start shit, man. I actually like Sora but the man is so transparent that it’s honestly pathetic.
Sora and Neku are bros in game, why can't we all be bros together? We'll band over not wanting Erdrick in smash.
Do you think Neku would be willing to help Sora hook up with some chicks in Shibuya since he’s stuck there?
Does Sora's leftover munny translate well to real money to spend at shops?
>Sora gets trapped in Shibuya
>he’s flat out broke
>Neku has to bail his ass out multiple times when it comes to money
In a perfect world.

>not anime
I think Sakurai himself might have played TWEWY (and considering he plays a ton of games in general, that is possible and good). The way the risk reward system works in both Kid Icarus Uprising and in Classic Mode in Smash in every game after that, works similarly to that game, and the StreetSmash minigame in Smash 3DS is literally Tin Pin Slammer.
Oh shit, really?
Yeah. It seem like he was possibly influenced by TWEWY considering he has some stuff from it in some of his games, if he did indeed play it.
Bros, is it Neku's time?
I hope it is. He would be great in Smash.
That’s pretty cool to hear. Here’s to hoping Neku gets in.
When the actual fuck did this happen? I've played this game to hell and back and never saw it
Unless this is some Switch port BS in which case...meh
The only problems I see are
>he’s a jrpg protag and we already got one so at the very least he won’t be the second pick
>he’s not very popular but joker isn’t super well known too I suppose
But he’s got a decent chances higher than jokers chances were
Progfox boss fight is on Week 2: Day 3 at
Miyashita Park and Mega flare is it's super attack.
How is the game without a stylus? Do I need it?
Yeah, you kind of do. Unless you’re playing the mobile or Switch ports but I prefer the DS version to those.
Fuck, like everyone else I lost mine wonder if there’s any good substitutes around me
I got some pretty cheap ones online thanks to Amazon. Try looking there if your can.
youtu.be
I WOKE UP THIS MORNING, BAE
I've fought it tons of times, yeah....I just never saw it do that.
Maybe it's because I never played this game, but am I the only one who thinks this character just looks like a 13 year old Cloud Strife?
He’ll do so when he gets all nine tails.
youtu.be
(skip to 1:33)
Never played his game. But he seems okay. Would be pretty hype of he got in over Erdrick, Sora or 2B
Nomura was the character designer but Neku doesn’t really look that much like Cloud besides the spiky hair.
Thanks vro
