Was Skullgirls a major fighting game like the various SNK, Capcom, and Bandai Namco fighting games are?

I'd want Big Band if they had to pull anyone from Skullgirls

It was, to me.

I dunno who though, the thing that kind of made SG special to me was that I had fun with every character both playing and playing against

I watched the Metroid trailer again and I'm surprised no one mentioned or noticed that there's a living Chozo at 1:33.

So moving away from E3 for a moment; I've got some spare cash and I was thinking of picking up SMT 3. I've always wanted to play the series and I seem to recall hearing 3... or was it 2? was one of the best? Is the Switch remaster/port any good? And if so, is the DLC worth it? Should I get the regular or the deluxe edition and is SMT 3 an okay place to start for someone going in blind? It's like Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest where each game is basically self-contained besides the basic premises, right?

Yeah, they’re all self contained. The DLC is skippable, it’s just pay to win fast grind spots. There’s also a dlc to replace the crossover character with Dante (from the Devil May Cry series), but I’d save that for a second playthrough, unless you’re a huge fan of his.

That was a great direct! Much better than the Xbox one!

We're finally getting Danganronpa! With a new game that looks cool!

Monstie Riders looks really good! So does SMT 5! Mario Golf! New WarioWare! (though I'm worried it's not gonna be as fun as the random minigames if you have to control characters)

New Mario Party is a loving joke, that's DLC that they've decided to make into a new game. I am so disappointed with old Mario Party so I won't be getting that.

Always wanted to play Advance Wars but not for £50!

Metroid also looks really cool but not for £50!

And I assume it's a good port/remaster and also that my memory is correct and SMT III is, like, really good?

There were bits and pieces of Dread where I wasn't super into how it looks, but on a whole I like it and I'm excited to play it.

I haven't touched any of the games in a long time. What's the best way to revisit the first two?

SMT III is still a lot of people’s favorite, it’s great. The port is fine, it has some slowdown during a couple animations that the original didn’t but nothing terrible, and it does add some nice QoL (specifically, being able to choose inherited skills instead of reshuffling)

Super Metroid is on the Switch official emulator and plays fantastically to this day. Metroid 1 is really rough to play now but it has a great remake called Metroid Zero Mission and can be downloaded on Wii U if you have one or otherwise emulated

Another E3 and I'm still playing poker with lovely French pattern cards from 14th century

Bet those French pattern cards are still worth more than those 19th century Japanese hand-painted playing cards by doomed toy company Nintendo.

Amiibos are microtransactions but you nerds justify to yourself by pretending they're fun to clutter your house with.

Literally just playing Spyro Skylanders.

I did. Didn't get any extra stuff, just the base pack. It's a shame my niece was born just a little too late for those, would've loved em.

Starlink, though, was way more fun. Like, the game itself was fun, and switching out weapons/ships/pilots on the fly was cool as hell while levelling them up. Really annoying that it was that toys-to-life franchise that flopped.

What other major fighting game series don't have any smash reps yet and who would you want to see rep them?

Off the top of my head:

Mortal Kombat: Either Scorpion or Sub-Zero, though I don't know how far they could go with them since they'd have to tone down the gore associated with them.
Dead or Alive: I know he's not originally from DoA but Ryu Hayabusa would be cool, especially since he could act as a Ninja Gaiden rep too.
Guilty Gear: Sol's the obvious choice here, and he could probably act as a general ArcSys rep.
SoulCalibur: I don't actually know enough about SC to say who any of the major characters are. I know that Ivy exists and has a sword whip thing but I don't know if she's the main face of the series or if that series even has an equivalent to Ken or Terry.
Virtua Fighter: I definitely don't know anything about Virtua Fighter except I think one of the characters is already an assist trophy or something like that?
Killer Instinct: Is this one even considered a major fighting game title, I've only ever heard the name and I don't know anything about it and its roster either.

As someone doesn't know who this Kazuta fellow from Tekken even is, and doesn't want more fighting game characters in the game, I vote for Guilty Gear, specifically because it would be cool if they kept their visual style where they look like they're hand drawn. I would actually be interested in that. Looking at the roster I would prefer either the hot guitar witch or the girl with the giant anchor. I know nothing about how they play but I like their designs.

Also replace Ryu or Ken with Chun Li
