Ridley Prime Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 What, no Shantae? I would have Jill, Chris, or Wesker over Leon personally, not that I think an RE character is happening still at this point. Quote Link to comment

As for the RE debate, I don't get why there's the minority who just don't get on the Leon train and stay aboard. He's one of the most popular characters from the series. Notice I said 'one of the most', this is not to take away from the rest of the character but Leon will always be number one to me. Quote Link to comment
Tyranogre Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Main reason I say Rex in particular is because Sakurai specifically cited the fact that Ultimate was too far along in development by the time Xenoblade 2 came out as the reason why Rex was excluded. All those other guys already had their games out for presumably the entirety of Ultimate's development cycle. Quote Link to comment
DLurkster Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Oh I remember and there's no excuse for Rex not to be in and if Min Min is not outlier of 1st party characters than that's another reason why he would be a shoe in. Either way most spirits now have a shot now, some are a bit more obvious than some. Quote Link to comment

That's fair, but she has a fair shot too still unlike Shovel Knight who remains an assist trophy. I don't dislike Leon, but the other characters are definitely popular too and kinda appeal to me a bit more. The ones I mentioned have also been playable in a Marvel vs Capcom title or two unlike him, not to mention Nemesis. RE has plenty fan favorites besides Leon. The best case scenario would be to have most of the protagonists as different skins a la Hero, if you ask me. Wesker would have one of the most fun moveset material to work with though, but if you was to have heroes first, then I would go with that method. Quote Link to comment

Truth is I like Wesker more than Leon, Jill more than Chris in that order. I think I always like Wesker but RE5 changed that for me, I denied because of how cock he is but he took it to another level in that game and I respect him more oddly enough, it was in that same game were Chris is so-so to me. Jill redeemed herself in Revelations (in chronological before RE5 explains why her hair was blond in that game) And Leon out of all the those character is not over the top or boring. If the occasion arise he can be heroic or just be the everyman. That is why I like Leon. I also agree that Wesker would have the most wicked moveset, tho. Ridley Prime 1 Quote Link to comment

Why do people say Assist Trophy appearances can't be made into fighters? Obviously if you'd summon Shovel Knight while someone is playing as him, you get Alfonzo instead. Quote Link to comment

Ridley Prime Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Yeah, came across that earlier which admittedly I did not know before. Apparently too Samus's missiles can kill and finish off the frozen Metroid, but in Smash there's no way she herself can ice someone with her moveset, so hope she has Lucas or someone as a teammate. I would take some of her beams like the ice beam as switchable things with her neutral special, while giving the charge shot a bit less kill power to balance it out. Same deal if you were to give her the ice missiles as a missile alternate. Shame something like that likely won't ever happen with her though. Character movesets pretty much got more and more creative with each Smash entry, so if Samus debuted in one of the later titles she'd definitely have some of that, but because she's a Smash 64 debuted character, she's pretty basic/limited out of her moveset potential and just gets the little touches/adjustments as time goes on. She's been in a good spot in the meta again at least as of the last update. I get the feeling there'll be some notable buffs for a number of characters in the update with Min Min's launch. Has usually been the case with each character release patch. Some may need buffs too with Min Min's attack range expectedly being what it is which makes even the Belmonts feel outclassed in that department.

Ithrak Utopia Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Do character updates usually happen this late in the day? Quote Link to comment
DLurkster Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 14 minutes ago, IU said: Do character updates usually happen this late in the day? Yes, like 8 or 9pm eastern. The thing is they never mentioned when today the update will release so the above time is assumed. But this isn't the first time character update happened days later, this happened with Byleth as well and I remember that update happening at night. And another note on the Nintendo network status the cloud save will be down today starting from the usual Smash update time of 8pm no mention of Ultimate being down. So that's a little unusual with what we are used the when in time and a heads up. Quote Link to comment
Ithrak Utopia Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 This is the first time I'm noticing the wait for the DLC since Min Min is a character I actually want to play as in Smash. The evening is a weird time, but now I know in the future if any other DLC characters are brought in that I have a desire to play. Quote Link to comment
purple_beard Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 I'd be ready to go as early as 7pm.... in terms of keeping up with updates.... But that window is usually 7pm-9pm...with it smoothing out around 10pm for downloading. Quote Link to comment
DLurkster Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 And it begins.... This wasn't there's minutes ago nor earlier today. It is almost time to claim what is ours. purple_beard 1 Quote Link to comment
