Mario Strikers SOULLESS

I desperately hope this game gets continued support, because from what I've seen it looks very bare bones.
Not just the roster, but all promotional material seems to show very little pitch variety, and the gameplay seems slow and dulled down compared to Charged. Even the menus we've seen in videos are just plain and boring.
The only thing that seems to have any attention is the online clubs and gear customisation, both of which I have zero interest in and are not the reason why I would play a new Strikers game.

I haven't played the original Strikers but I've seen a bit of it in motion and this game seems closer to that, not sure how accurate that is though.

So just the reveal trailer from the February Direct? Seems fine, though undoubtedly a clear step down from Charged.

So I'm not like a rule nazi or anything, but why are they constantly picking up the ball with their hands? Isn't this supposed to be soccer? The old River City and Inazuma games were able to showcase tons of special moves without resorting to that.

You can go back and play generic Mario football with this instead

Nobody stoping you

Game looks great, are Daisyfags genuinely this autistic?

A'ight, I'm mildly interested. Surely nothing's gayer than [insert any Yea Forums sports here], but I'm all ears, Yea Forumserg

> Isn't this supposed to be soccer

No it’s Strike, it’s not strictly soccer

Remember, the original director of CGN and Wii Strikers isn't directing this game since he left NLG a little after Punch Out released to work at EA.

So proceed with caution.

More like Souless league

yes

Look I love Charged, but can we agree the game was unbalanced as fuck?
>Waluigi/Daisy + Dry Bones meta teams
>Have to put in the old stages cause the most of the new stages suck, especially that Desert Thwomp field.
>Megastrikes were fucking obscene giving you up to 5 goals.
I don't give a shit about Daisy, she'll probably be DLC aayways, I just want a semi-balanced game and Battle League looks like what I wanted.

> especially that Desert Thwomp field.

No The worst one was the electric crystal one that disabled your team mates.
I don’t think hazards are really necessary in a game like this since the moment to moment gameplay is already so frantic.

I would rather have King Boo as DLC than Daisy. They can port over his LM3 model.

>Stages without gimmicks = good.
Cringe, you fuckers take away all the fun

So...shitting on Daisy, the Kremlings and Diddy Kong while sucking off King Boo or Pauline is the new fresh meme, Uh?

I only said the Desert field cause I remember spending all night years ago trying to beat that challenge match against Wario where you start 0-5. Holy shit, that was infuriating.

I don’t know but you’ve been posting the same Daisy images in like 4 seperate threads so I’m starting to think Daisy fans have schizophrenia

There's no actual gameplay in this

If you want to shit on classic characters to look "cool" at least ask for something better than boring shit like King Boo or Pauline, Like a WarioWare character or Captain Syrup instead

>the scene where Toad kicks the ball
lmao who animated that shit
that looked like fucking garbage

Is that an edit? Why is he there?

THIS. My favorite stage in Charged was Thunder Island because cows, cheep cheeps, and a fucking tank would blow through the island and rams into players that get in its way, as well as being able to kick players off the stage entirely.

I play Mario games for wacky characters and chaotic items/scenarios. Smash fags already ruined casual fun by always having to be competitive with no items.

Why there a just a few characters and you have to choose 4 as characters instead of 1 as the leader...

They probably got the right, that manga was published around the same time as Super Mario RPG and Geno was on it for a few chapters, they used pretty much every obscure Mario character they could at the time and some cameos from non Mario characters like the Earthbound cast

The overall direction in this opening is leagues better. You can tell that there was a clear vision behind making this and very little interference. I have a gut feeling that the Battle League opening was focus tested or had a lot of mandates that mostly consisted of 'do not do this'.

>the stadium is literally just Super Mario World (as in the Universal park)
>audience is just Toad and Yoshis on one side, Koopas, Paratroopas, and Shy guys on the other
>JPG Mario and Bowser flying in
>that weak as fuck build up to Rosalina's shitty, slow "tackle"
>Luigi's skeleton isn't visible
>Bowser's retarded trot followed by that pathetic explosion
>Toad's slow, delayed kick
The only good scenes were Yoshi playing with the ball and DK's shot.

>goalie can't throw the ball for a while because neither team has any players on the field

That's because Nintendo themselves wanted this kind of direction for the series, they even told Next Level Games not to do typical mario fare for Strikers and go nuts with it.

Crazyhow Yea Forums pissed and shitted itself over this how great this shit was when it was announced and I was shouted down for saying it wasn't the glorious return of Mario football.

>the cow moos as its flying through the field
>the crashing sound effect that happens when you get hit by a tank
>the screams the players make as they're hurling off the stage

>sudden death begins
>both teams only have captains available

If characters don’t have their own genre of theme songs like they did in Charged then that’s it for wanting soul, final nail in the coffin.

>that’s it for wanting soul, final nail in the coffin
nigga the soul left the instant they deconfirmed sidekicks

You need 8 players for a match in this game there’s no point to having sidekicks

That's a tractor, you idiot.

The first game was better

my bad, I only realized after the fact. It shows up and leaves pretty quickly.

>I don't give a shit about Daisy
could you possibly be any gayer?

He posted Yoshi so of course that user is as gay as a human can get

>2 schizo threads up at the same time
Shame that this game is going to be impossible to discuss. Gameplay looks great. Looks like it may be light on content, but we’ll see as they ramp up marketing. Regardless, I’ll get a lot of mileage out of the online, especially since it appears they removed the degenerate shit from Charged

>Super had 8 captains with 4 sidekicks, including a special team.

>Charged had 12 captains with 8 sidekicks.

>You’d expect the third to have even MORE new captains with new sidekicks but now sidekicks are gone completely and the roster has lessened.

I’m starting to believe this is more of a soft-reboot then a true 3rd game.

>So just the reveal trailer from the February Direct?
The trailer had some minor cuts for some footage like I'm pretty sure the Boom Boom part wasn't in the reveal.

user, people are very obviously pretending to be daisyfags for shits and giggles during all of this.
Yes, her fanbase is obnoxious, but the fans here don't care about her at all

>Yea Forums pretending to play video games

>>the stadium is literally just Super Mario World (as in the Universal park)
That Universal theme park itself is taken from a 3D World level
