I mean, it's all relative. I don't think she'd get downvoted into oblivion like Byleth's trailer... but sure she's not going to be received as warmly as one of the more requested characters. I think the less familiar the person is with the Smash (and FE) fanbase, the more likely they'd...

Shoutout to Phosphorus Lyn for her impressive Smash popularity. Maybe it doesn't seem like that much compared to like Waluigi and Isaac, but it's 1) stuck around despite her always getting deconfirmed towards the beginning and with her being severely "outdated" in terms of new FE reps - meaning...

So do you imagine they're just going to push on with their two generation old framework and the increasingly inefficient development costs that come with using such old data, or do you anticipate a huge number of first-party cuts to offset zero third-parties being axed? Also the reason...

No, it's not as simple as it works or it doesn't, because newcomers are inherently more under the spotlight than veterans, and therefore it's going to be easier to include veterans without explicitly naming their series than newcomers. Veterans don't need to be explained. Vets probably aren't...

Why does it either have to be vets getting cut or no effect at all? These are two extremes, and the reality is probably somewhere in the middle. It's organized but it's very unintuitive, because most people don't categorize characters in that way. That's a very Sakurai/dev team way to organize...

Again, I don't think there's as much to worry about with vets. Vets don't need to be showcased as extensively - sidestepping the series name won't be as conspicuous as in a Sakurai Presents for a newcomer, or even just a newcomer trailer. It's not that Smash can't have content from a...

Tbf the age rating seems very much like Nintendo's jurisdiction, not Sakurai's. Making it T would only grant Sakurai more latitude in implementation and depiction of certain content, but ultimately it's Nintendo's call.

I'm less concerned about T-rated stuff since Smash has been T before and if need be for the sake of expediency regarding dealing with the new ESRB rules I can see them biting the bullet and making it T again. But Smash is never going to be M-rated. So if that inhibits being able to actually...

All that stuff was 3+ years ago, more recently they weren't able to include the series names of Xenoblade, Hades, or 13 Sentinels in game or in the NA tweets about the spirits, which are the three series which exceed Ultimate's rating. But even when we got Doom Slayer, the series itself was...

I figure they're just going to abandon that system whenever there are going to be massive gaps in it. Which could be soon.

My concern about M-rated series isn't that they can't be toned down while still being faithful - I believe the majority can - it's with the new ESRB stuff that necessitates omission of mentioning the actual higher rated series, both seemingly in game and in advertising, if they wouldn't just...

Third-parties overall are going to be bigger hype drivers, and with 71 first-parties, almost all of Nintendo's biggest faces are already there. People can conflate saying what we have left generally isn't at the level of what's already there with saying we're scraping the bottom of the barrel...

A western non-indie that isn't from MS or Ubisoft. Edit: Or Epic.

Just follow the 2B appearances to find crossover games lol Seems like you can license her for a bag of chips and a can of coke. Pretty ironic, considering she's Square. (and not to take away from Haohmaru's SC appearance, but that's probably a part of why those two were chosen - they seem like...
