Instead of a new character he announces a drastic overhaul to Lucina to make her different and better than she ever was.

And then she still ends up in low tier.

If you want a high-tier Lucina, play Shulk.

This is true but maybe a little unfair. I don't think people who are really into anything else are significantly less crazy.

The character's name is Ike, although I can understand the confusion due to his tendency to shout "I AM FIRE EMBLEM" when attacking.

I do play Shulk, just not as often as my top 5 (R.O.B., Bowser, Duck Hunt, Lucario, and Dark Pit, though Mewtwo might make it a top 6).

So I looked up the history for Indie character Shantae:

quote:

    -$800,000+ kickstarter funds for latest game
    -three games so far, primarily on Nintendo consoles, one back as far as the Game Boy Color
    -series popularity has been picking up steadily after WayForward went full-on indie, last two games were wildly successful
    -has some Japanese following, translation by Inti-Creates in progress for the third and fourth games
    -people's general response: "hurr she's indie she has no chance"

...and compared it to Indie frontrunner Shovel Knight:

quote:

    -$300,000+ kickstarter funds
    -just one game
    -very popular among Western shores
    -no Japanese following, Japanese translation hasn't even begun yet
    -people's general response: "HOLY poo poo HE'S PERFECT"

I don't get it. Shantae should realistically have the highest chance out of all the other Indie characters, yet people poo poo on her just because she's Indie. Meanwhile other Indie characters get standing ovations even though they should be damned for the same reason.

guys my brain can't parse this logic help :psyduck:

Nobody gives a poo poo about indie characters in Smash, they want to see popular video game characters from the 90s. Nintendo balances this out by giving us characters from newer Nintendo properties. Nobody cares about the shovel man, breast genie, hammer child, block man, or tiny oft-dying Indiana Jones.

This is pretty much it, you put Shantae next to even a relatively niche character like Phoenix Wright or Banjo-Kazooie and I know who I'll vote for every time

I want to stress again that the internet rallying around Shantae and Shovel Knight is especially dumb now that it appears Ryu is coming, because Ryu is so obviously and drastically more significant to the entire planet despite having no heat in the polls at all. All the official third-party guests so far make the indie suggestions look like weird jokes.

Trying to beat master hand with little mac is like peeling your fingernails off one by one. Any tips? There doesn't seem to be any way to consistently damage it beyond plinking away four health at a time with your terrible up-b.

I don't think it's a matter of each third-party company getting a quota. If Capcom has 2 characters that Sakurai thinks should appear and Namco only has 1, then that's how it goes.

Heck, even with Sega having a big stable of well-liked characters, only Sonic had that famous 90s rivalry with Mario, so I don't know if there's a second Sega fighter who would feel as right as him. Maybe Tails?
