What was your reaction when this happened?

Indifferent and unsurprised.

Why do people still deny that Smash is the most important game on Yea Forums?

What kind of fag gets excited over DLC.

I was excited cause that means characters I actually like have a chance, disappointed cause rosterfag threads will bleed into next year
See the problem is if they did what actual fighting games do and have decently paced reveals for a pass no one would complain, like showing Banjo and Hero was the best thing they did

It was really weird and dumb seeing people actually claim that the first pass would be the end of it, when Splatoon 2 is less popular than Smash and even that still got DLC for two years after release. This one guy kept making the same post that I was gonna be waiting forever when I dared to suggest we'd get more fighters. Apparently I'm not gonna be waiting that long after all. I would have loved to have seen his face when this announcement was made.

Smash threads are the highest level of discourse on Yea Forums and one of the few recurring topics that actually involve video game discussion. Take that as you will.

"Yeah, I'm gonna main Terry. How could you tell?"

"Neat, but how many?"

Hello, Boco. "Fighters" obviously confirms at least 2 more, but I really doubt Nintendo would make an announcement like this just for it to be such a small number. I'm thinking 5 more and I wouldn't be surprised if they stopped after that. They surely must realize that it's a bit questionable for the DLC to cost more than the game itself, so I think $50 of DLC is probably more than enough.

Yeah, that sounds logical.

Unless they feel really generous and make a sixth one thats free or something.

Pretty obvious, he and Geno are the last two massively demanded characters. I have no doubt that they'll both be in.

>even more rosterfagging

Attached: normie.gif (720x405, 1.31M)

I'm not sure about new fighters, but I suspect that Nintendo wouldn't be averse to making free echoes like people have theorized. It would be a good way to pad the roster a bit and it's the kind of content that's small enough that they probably wouldn't expect people to pay for it. The exception being if it's a DLC fighter that comes with the echo, you have to pay for the fighter to unlock it but the echo itself is still technically free.

Honestly I'm not even sure who would be a good echo for such a hypothetical, I just like the idea of having more fighters. It was so cool to me that they found an excuse to toss in a lesser known character like Richter who never would have made it in otherwise, instead of Simon and that's it.

Next Pass will be corporate synergy centric with Travis, Bayo character, Akira Howard, FE rep, and Francis Yorke Morgan

I think Quote makes sense as the final Fighters Pass character. He would fit the pattern of being a character that nobody is asking for and a depressing number of people would not recognize despite making a lot of sense and being awesome while also not advertising any new games and coming with great music, just like Terry.

The only potential issue I see is that he has a similar hat to Terry and would they really do two characters with hats in a row? I'm not sure about this.

So did Sans.

Sakurai mentioned DLC not selling well in an interview when the pass was announced.

Obviously the pass is doing a ton better than Smash 4's DLC ever did.

And yet Terry Bogard is in the game.

He probably didn't take into consideration the fact that the Wii U was a dead piece of shit system. He must not have been very experienced with the concept of DLC. Now he sees what it looks like on a successful system and thinks, oh shit, maybe this is worth doing.

The way he said how the finish line keeps getting farther makes it seem like he wants to die.

Or maybe he just didn't care for Banjo.

I'm a smashfag, don't care how many smash threads are on Yea Forums at any given time, but I legit was like "Nooo, make it stop" Because I hate sitting around and waiting for the next reveal

The whole "Wahhh so much work" is a meme to him, he always makes that joke in almost every direct

Smash 4's DLC having a shill pick and three returning echos probably didn't help its sales either.

Cloud, Ryu and Bayonetta selling as well as they did was probably the reason they decided an all third party pass to see if it'd sell better. Obviously it did.

He’s literally goomba with a hat

Hope is alive.

As long as Sakurai is heading the project you've got no chances.

He'd find some sort of way to make Whispy Woods into a fighter before Bandanna Dee.

You're saying this about a game where Piranha Plant is an actual fighter.

>All these people wishing for it to end
Seeing Smash become the vidya industry MUGEN is a god damn treat to me. The amount of pull the series has is amazing and I sincerely wish to see how crazy it goes.

You see articles meme about shit like the MCU and DCEU being "Most Ambitious Crossover Ever Made" but this genuanly is the craziest and most ambitious crossover of IP's ever put together.

The only negative this has is the eventual sequel that won't come out until the next console generation is going to be a sure-fire disappointment because there is nothing Sakurai could feasibly do at this point to reach this level of surprise and insanity at this point.

oh fuck yeah.

I think he just wants to cleanse his palette and make something else. He made KI:U between Brawl and Sm4sh but after Sm4sh DLC ended he and his team went STRAIGHT to Ult. I personally want to see him leave the second wave of DLC up to his team and him make something else, even if it's just an eShop game that takes a year, so he can get a break.

It would nice to find out who the fuck else is even on his team. We never see anyone's face but his.

>all these people predicting a FETH rep
>we actually get Itsuki Aoi to advertise the #FE remake

How would you react?

I too hate rosterfags and HE'SINposting but at this point I'll honestly take that over all the threads that only exist because a game can be connected to /pol/shit.

We've got so much good shit not even another FE rep can upset me. That said, the last thing Smash needs is another FE rep and will be the sort of addition that would give me absolute indifference.

Good.

First off, don't use words if you don't know what they mean. Second, I don't want him either but I can't deny that he's possible, because his game is coming up and he's the protagonist. The idea that they can't do a Fire Emblem character because Three Houses was too long ago has been debunked, because they could also put in a Three Houses character and use it to advertise his game. That said, there's only so much advertising value they can get out of Fire Emblem characters in Smash and I think people are well aware of the franchise at this point. The slot would be better used at advertising a different series that hasn't gotten any exposure yet, or just fulfilling more of the long time requested characters.

>First off, don't use words if you don't know what they mean.

>Second, I don't want him either but I can't deny that he's possible
Never said he wasn't, just said my reaction will be that of indifference.

I hope they're first party characters this time.

Anyone who says they were disappointed or upset by this announcement because of Yea Forums has let a fucking dumb image board consume far too much of their brain and needs to play video games.

The game is set in Tokyo my dude, he's not a very interesting character but it's clear that you completely misread the summary if you somehow ended up with the impression it's isekai.

Well shit, that's my bad then.

I have a feeling they won't do stages with these characters to cut development time and cost. Honestly we have like 100 something stages, all anyone cares about is FD and Battlefield and the music.

Neither was Hero, Terry or Joker

I never thought I'd want them to stop adding characters, but Yea Forums has made newcomers incredibly unpleasant. There's more shitposting and trolling about newcomers than actual game discussion now, it's insufferable. I just want them to either announce all the characters ahead of time or stop adding them, neither would actually stop you idiots but it'd stymie much of it.

>I never thought I'd want them to stop adding characters, but Yea Forums has made newcomers incredibly unpleasant. There's more shitposting and trolling about newcomers than actual game discussion now
Yeah, cause we really need those 5 extra daily twitter sceencap threads.

That Rex and Pyra are a lock now.

While I agree that it would cut development time and would be a good idea if they want to fit more fighters into the roster, looking at the price of the SSB4 fighters that didn't come with stages makes me hesitant. It only reduced the price by a dollar. I'm not sure I will enjoy paying $5 per character and getting just a character and that's it. If they do this I hope it's another pass where it's like $20 for 5 characters, that would feel like less of a blow to me.

Probably only like 2 or 3. Dunno why people are expecting them to shit out another 5.

Even in this very thread people are trying to post Twitter screencaps. This board is full of fucking retards.

twitter.com/kario_kari/status/1169445824847237121

We have bigger problems to deal with.

A fighter that incorporates all that Piranha Plants are without being a "unique standalone." Waddle Dee would be a better pick if your going with that argument.

My first thought was relief at knowing my pick would still have more chances to be included in Smash as DLC. Then I was hit with the horror that I'd be stuck in these rosterfag threads for another year.

Attached: 1503375901534.jpg (1920x2160, 391K)

Unlike some Bandana Dee fans, I will happily take Waddle Dee, as the reason I like Bandana Dee is because he's a Waddle Dee and I have no attachment to him specifically. Also, a lot of people don't know this, but Bandana Dee was recently killed by a normal Waddle Dee who stole his bandana and is now pretending to be him.

Meanwhile, he's showering in Ultimate cash.
It's just a shitty joke. He might not like developing games, but he sure does love money.

I mean, I was still happy and a little pleasantly surprised but it wasn't THAT surprising either considering that Smash prints money.

For as well as the system is doing, and for as happy as they are to take Nintendo's money to have their characters in Smash, they really don't give a fuck about the Switch.

I think by the time they stop making DLC only the most ridiculous autists will not be satisfied with the roster. It's probably gonna be 80+ characters, has any fighting game ever gone that high?

Attached: Fighter_Pass_2_Newcomer.gif (320x240, 2.17M)

I can't help but notice the only new Capcom character in Ultimate was Ken. Perhaps Nintendo does not intend to reward Capcom's laziness with a character after all.

What is up with this gif?

I meant for PS4/Xbone/PC, we're probably getting 5:SE. It's basically guaranteed money by this point and if Capcom wants to exceed the 3 mil by the end of this fiscal year for the title, they should probably do that, assuming it hasn't already reached that milestone. Though I wouldn't be surprised if Switch got a port of 5 either.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Dante were in one of the upcoming fighter passes actually.

Attached: 600885d8-a586-4f39-aa8f-aaf7b2ef781c-m.jpg (400x244, 24K)

If Capcom wants Dante in Smash they're going to have to do a lot better than releasing the two worst DMC games on Switch.

youtube.com/watch?v=eiHu_wmZT-o

Now come up with appropriate narration for the announcement.

I'd imagine 3:SE is definitely coming, probably 4:SE as well. 5 is the big question. Considering that they got RE7 streaming on the Switch in Japan somehow, maybe DMC5 isn't out of the question. Maybe they'll even bring over DmC.

The only real thing wrong with all of this are that the ports are seriously overpriced and they should've just brought them over as the HD Collection. Also they're not compressed in the fucking least, so they probably hurt sales of the series in the name of greed. Not the best way to introduce a new audience to your franchise, Capcom.

i actually think that dante has TOO much moveset potential for smash. as in, smash has too little moves per character that dante won't be able to be represented properly unless they include "style switching" into his moveset that gives him basically 4 movesets in one character.

On one hand they didn't mind giving Hero 16 fucking specials on his down B, but on the other hand Banjo bafflingly has Mario's fair instead of that move where Kazooie pops out and goes GAK GAK GAK so that's the problem with Smash, you never know when Sakurai is going to put work into your character so it's always a risk.

I just hope the new DLC have nice intros and not the shitty in-engine ones the Wii U DLC had.

yeah hero also takes most of his normals directly from other sword users so i guess it's a balance between originality and uniqueness and playing safe

well the dlc we have so far have been the former and there would still be some time until the next dlc is made so i would assume we get good intros

I hope so, I'd be pissed if the only character I've asked for since Brawl, Geno, didn't get one.

don't worry he wont get a smash 4 dlc style trailer ;)

If they picked Edelgard or the girl from #FE it would be Sakurai breaking his pattern for the first time in the history of Smash and picking a character that's not the protagonist just to have something different. I don't think it is very likely that they would do this.

I don't think anyone who posts "Woo hoo Fire Emblem characters!" on Yea Forums is "coping" when they're not in. They only post it in the first place because their goal is to annoy other people, which is working less and less as every single DLC choice in Ultimate has been amazing. People have finally realized that the trolls are full of shit and they're not going to add Fire Emblem or Pokemon.

Because by then it's way too late to shill Fire Emblem Three Houses and Pokemon Sword/Shield, and Nintendo has nothing new first party-wise coming. They could be characters who were high up on the list Nintendo made for Sakurai but not the top five he picked. Also we don't know how many slots there are, though we do know that it's not another pass because they said stand-alone DLC.

Because Kazooie already does the Rat-a-Tat Rap for the Neutral A and Bair. Making his Fair a Dr. Mario Fair copy was pretty dumb, though, he could have made it the Beak Bomb and have Banjo be the only character whose Fair gives him a bit of horizontal distance.

k-rool is a spirit in the game user

All of the playable characters have Spirits.

fighter spirits aren't the same as equippable spirits you retard

When has Sakurai specifically stated that characters who are Spirits also can't be fighters? Mewtwo had a trophy in Smash 4 then returned as a fighter.

k-rool has one or two equippable spirits tho

It is, actually. If you want to shitpost non-vidya garbage do it somewhere else.

mewtwo was specifically planned during development to be released as dlc. sure sakurai hasn't flat out said that spirits won't be dlc. but why would they go back to making fighters out of people already in the game when they can make dlc out of more popular third party characters that would have a wider appeal and more marketable?

Well you didn't actually disprove him since you didn't explain what it says.

I'm guessing it was a game balance thing, plus there's so many interactions to remember in this game as it is, I can't blame him for reusing a couple.

As much as I dislike Incineroar, this post gets funnier every time I see it.

literally the final smash ultimate direct before release, when he introduced spritis:
>"that said, the Super Smash Bros series is a massive crossover at heart, and we want to create something more. a way to enjoy characters other than fighters from a variety of video game worlds. here's what we came up with: Spirits."
youtu.be/fccgHnBQ0YM?t=474
those are all explicitly stated as alternate appearances though. There is no equippable original Mario/K rool spirit, but there is Mario (Mario Tennis Aces) and K.Roolenstein. again, the most damning evidence of this all is Pirahna Plant getting thrown out of the nipper evolution for Petey Pirahna just so they could keep him for the Fighter Spirit

the best cope image of all time. nobody ever thinks that it could be more than one person behind these leaks and that someone couldn't of thought to look up some random company and an upcoming movie to attach to the leak to make it seem real

There's actually a famous French trolling group that turned out to be responsible for it all.

yes exactly. there was talk about them faking leaks just a couple weeks before the leak too. but then we got what happened

I hope so, I'm getting real tired of people saying it will be Edelgard.

Also, I just realized that Terry completely debunked the Edelgard and Sylux leak that people were interested in because it got Joker, Erdrick and Banjo right. I don't know how that guy got so lucky but it's clear that he didn't have any inside information.

people will attach to literally any leak. correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't the entire board spammed with tracer because there was a Yea Forums post saying she would be in?

>btfo's edelshit/sylux
>btfo's companion theory
>btfo's mii/company theory
how can one man be this based

One character better have the moveset of minimum 300 moves if that is the case.

Yeah, people are retarded and will believe anything just because someone says it in a really confident tone of voice, the "mech leak" also gained way too much traction for having no proof. But the post I'm talking about predicted Joker when nobody else was, then was correct about Hero and Banjo as well, so it really seemed like there was something to it. Apparently not, though. Which is a relief because Terry is a way better result.

He also BTFO the Terry/Ryu "leak" despite being a part of it, but some people on this board are complete fucking morons because I STILL three days later am seeing posts saying that Ryu is in "because of the leak." I would be very cool with Ryu but those posts piss me off.

I honestly think a Waddle Dee will happen someday, maybe not as DLC, maybe not in Ultimate, but with Piranha Plant in the game I think all barriers to his inclusion have been eliminated. And I would be very happy to see it. I've got to get these posts in now so when it happens years down the line and people say "But I bet you actually wanted Bandana Dee huh? HAHAHAHAHA" I can point to this post and say no, I wanted Waddle Dee all along.

It's not fair.

Well, that's what Ultimate already was, it used 4 as a base. Certainly they did a lot of graphical and gameplay enhancements but the engine is straight up 4's. So I don't know if they'd do it again, especially with Sakurai repeatedly emphasizing that it probably won't happen again. He probably wants to start over and take the series in a new direction. I'm really curious what he'll do but it won't be for many years. Just glad I didn't waste any money on 4's DLC only for it to be in the base game of Ultimate four years later.

I really doubt they would make this big announcement only to do 3 characters, people would be pissed.

>I don't like it when they talk about video games on the video game board, I want to read a million posts that all say seethe cope cringe have sex :(

I feel this leaker shit. Fake leakers are fucking annoying, but even worse are fake leakers that actually have a following despite being proven unreliable again and again.

The only leakers that seem to know anything are Vergeben and Sabi, and I think Vergeben's source is quite literally Sabi. Any time Vergeben leaks something it can safely be assumed to be Sabi's leak that Sabi isn't allowed to say anything about due to getting cornered by Nintendo.

i actually think this will be his last smash game. yeah i know he says it every time. but lets not forget that he will be developing this game for at least 2 years after it came out. this really is the "ultimate" smash game and would be a high note for him to leave to series with someone else

what makes you think we won't get another fighters pass?

The fact that the announcement says "Additional DLC fighters will not be included as part of the Fighters Pass and will be sold separately."

Nothing, just a feel. If they already knew they were going for a Season pass #, then they would just have said that, instead of a vague "more fighters", as in a we don't know how much yet. It really feels like it won't be a season pass, but more individual fighters sold separately. As such, I don't think it'll be 5.

Characters getting into smash is arguably more important than smash itself. I guarantee you that KoF or what ever games Terry Bogard is in will get way more attention now.

Like that other user said, transformations pad it out. Also, rather than clone characters you have clone moves. Most characters' movesets are just different combinations of a pool of about 20 different supers/ultimates (sometimes coloured differently and given different names, but still the same moves) and 15 heavy attacks. Some characters get special unique cutscenes for their ultimates, like Trunks' Finish Buster. Everything else is pretty uniform across characters except hitboxes and cosmetics.

Vergeben is pretty hit and miss. Either he's getting a fair number of lucky guesses, he knows shit incredibly far in advance, or some of the stuff he's given is false info. Still waiting on that minecraft rep.

How do you know so much and yet get it completely wrong? It's just in the actual soundtrack download to throw people off so that they don't realize Megalovania is Sans' theme.

My mistake. I'm sorry.

That's okay. Perhaps months of rosterfag threads has made me needlessly aggressive.

Let's make this clear: this manlet faggot and his mommy gf are never getting in smash. EVER.

1. Sakurai clearly spelled out for you idiots only more game worlds (ie more new IPs) from now on.
2. Even if this wasn't the case both of them are already spirits in the game.
3. He's also a shitty mii costume THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR, do you think it would be well received if sakurai made you pay for dlc of the actual character when he already made you pay for a costume under the premise he wouldn't get in the game?
4. They missed their chance. Their game is too old to shill now. Nintendo would rather shill Astral Chain and Faggot Emblem.
5. Xeno is already repped enough with Shulk. It doesn't need anymore. "BUT FIRE EMBLEM", yeah everyone hates Faggot Emblem for having too many underserved reps, why do you want another case of this shit?

>"B-But Sakurai wanted him in the game there just wasn't enough tim-
"No!"
Sakurai paying some lip service to disappointed Xeno fans does in no way obligate him to work on characters that have nothing going for them just because he has more DLC slots to fill now.

Now pay 25$ for his mii costume, stop talking about them in every smash thread and fuck off.

>1. Sakurai clearly spelled out for you idiots only more game worlds (ie more new IPs) from now on.
That's not what he said, and besides, Xenoblade 2, and basically any new game, has a new world so it fits
>2. Even if this wasn't the case both of them are already spirits in the game.
Yeah, but then you can't explain pic related. Besides, he could come as his Master Driver self, which is not spirited.
>3. He's also a shitty mii costume THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR, do you think it would be well received if sakurai made you pay for dlc of the actual character when he already made you pay for a costume under the premise he wouldn't get in the game?
Why would people that would have preordered the season pass SPECIFICALLY for a costume (who the fuck does that) would be mad when the actual character finally gets in? Quite the reverse, actually.
>4. They missed their chance. Their game is too old to shill now. Nintendo would rather shill Astral Chain and Faggot Emblem.
Now that XC1DE is a thing, it's actually the PERFECT opportunity to shill XC2 more, to encourage new XC1 players to play its sequel next, and then the inevitable XC3, because XC1DE is a set up for XC3.

yeah not a part of the fighters pass. it is specifically meaning The Fighters Pass. meaning the one that currently exist

it's more benefitial for them to sell it in a pass though instead of just individually

his correct guesses were either popular choices or just vague shit. i can't believe that he is getting praise for saying "a square enix dlc character" when we got one the last game

He specified Erdrick as the character got closer, he's the whole reason why people started saying Erdrick when before his leak they had been saying Slime or Sora.

I wouldn't mind if there was a bit of a break after the 1st fighter pass. And even then, the 2nd one be like 3 original fighters and an echo or more stages. I want more stages more than anything and the fighters are taking time from that and then if it's a new third party rep, the stage as to be the main stage of that character. I want more Great Bays, Gurrodo Villages, The Great Pirate Ship, Great Cave Offensive, 75M, Great Areo Port. Stages that aren't the hub world or main or final level of a game

To be fair he never said Minecraft rep, he said Minecraft content, and repetedly said his sources have no idea what it would be, or if it even is still a thing at all.
But when he says that he's sure a character is in, it's pretty safe that it's the truth.
People just like to retroactively call everything he says a lucky guess even when they themselves didn't believe it right until the reveal.

thought it was a japanese flag from the thumbnail.

>Erdrick
oh no no no he tried it

Didn't people start saying Erdrick cause of that jap leak (which turned out fake lol), saying Joker would use Jack Frost and he'd use Slime in his moveset?

HAIYAH

Spiral Mountain isn't the hub world, Gruntilda's Lair is the hub world. Spiral Mountain is a tutorial area which is pretty unusual for Smash, and makes for an interesting stage.

yes

No, that leak came after Vergeben said Erdrick. It was probably made because of Vergeben, considering how it also mentioned Steve.

>Unusual
>Frigate Orpheon

But it didn't mention Steve, just Joker and Erdrick, it was also right after the Joker reveal.

Ya Spirital Mountain is interesting, I like the details in it and the way it turns around. I think we needs more interesting Sonic, MGS, DK and Mario stages anyway. I think the one exception to my rule is why do we have Pacland over Pacmaze? This will never make sense to me

>another year of smash threads

Attached: s t o p.png (570x309, 150K)

I don't get that either, I guess Pac-Land is more unique but it's also a pretty shitty stage, Pac-Maze is a better stage and far more iconic. Don't know why they felt it necessary to waste time bringing back Windy Hill yet Pac-Maze wasn't worth it. Also I know it's a "final level" but I wish they'd kept Rainbow Road too, that stage would have looked amazing with Ultimate's graphics.

I hate that all out Mario Kart tracks are now generic Luigi/Mario raceways. I agree Rainbow road is more visually interesting and it's more iconic with Mario Kart than raceway tracks. Isn't weird how there isn't a Bowser's castle or airship stage course

pacmaze got cut because on the 3ds version, a player who got a power pellet would make the ghost blue on their screen but on the opposing 3ds they would still look normal. i guess since in ultimate the players share a screen (local not online) and i guess sakurai thought players would get confused over who got the power pellet and who didn't. this could've been easiily fixed by giving the immune player an outline or something

rainbow road probably got cut because it was similar to the other mario kart tracks where it changes locations like the mario kart 8 one. shame because it's much more interesting

>Sakurai clearly spelled out for you idiots only more game worlds (ie more new IPs) from now on.
He never said it'd only be new IPs.
>Even if this wasn't the case both of them are already spirits in the game
It's pretty clear that the non-Fighters Pass characters weren't planned from the beginning, so the spirit rule could easily go out the window whenever. Besides that, if Rex got in it would obviously be as a pair with Pyra/Mythra, and there are no Rex & Pyra/Mythra spirits, so there's an easy loophole there.
>He's also a shitty mii costume THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR, do you think it would be well received if sakurai made you pay for dlc of the actual character when he already made you pay for a costume under the premise he wouldn't get in the game?
The Mii Costume was a bonus, I doubt anybody bought the $25 pass specifically for it. They could also just go ahead and make Rex discounted or even free for Fighters Pass owners if they were that worried about people feeling ripped off.
>They missed their chance. Their game is too old to shill now. Nintendo would rather shill Astral Chain and Faggot Emblem.
2020 is the franchise's anniversary and the first game is getting a remake. The franchise as a whole is extremely relevant right now, and it largely has XC2 to thank for that.
>Xeno is already repped enough with Shulk. It doesn't need anymore. "BUT FIRE EMBLEM", yeah everyone hates Faggot Emblem for having too many underserved reps, why do you want another case of this shit?
Xenoblade getting two reps would still be nowhere near FE's seven, and I'd hardly call it undeserved for reasons I just went over.

Nintendo has fully embraced the hype aspect of Smash. The actual gameplay doesn't matter as long as they show a new fighter every 2 months.

I hope we won't don't get another Smash for 10 years after Ultimate.

Happiness. It means exactly what Sakurai said it means: More chances for fan favorites.

From my speculation on the fact that the Fighters Pass finishes up the blanks spots in the stage selection - there isn't gonna be another Fighters Pass, just individual character DLCs like P. Plant...

I prefer that to smashfags

incel

If they didn't have stages, then maybe they could make more characters in less time, which is fine by me.

Yes. As someone who use to like it, I'm so fucking sick of hearing about it. This game has been worse than the last two.

If it's got a decimal in it, it's not mainline.

It is part of ZUN's canon, and he was partly involved in its development. And why is this suddenly a rule when Atlus is actively keeping mainline Persona away from Nintendo?
