    God...who would have thought Fire Emblem would have went from almost being canceled to taking up like 1/4 of the Smash roster...we've come a long way.

    Awakening did a hell of a lot, for better and worse.

    Ah shit, Nintendo getting another dlc character definitely means the next pack is going to get a Pokemon, doesn't it?

    We had a water starter in 4, then a fire in base Ultimate...look forward to Rillaboom in Season 2, I guess.

    now that smash ultimate has sated my desire for everyone being here, I am definitely ready for a 2029 smash bros reboot that completely redesigns every character and has a tight launch roster of 16 fighters.

    Crystal, what would that list look like for you

    I think a reboot would be strictly nintendo all-stars. not accounting for new franchises and revivals and shifting popularity over the next decade, looking at the state of nintendo in 2020, I think their top 16 stars today are:


    Mario
    Luigi
    Peach
    Bowser

    Yoshi
    Donkey Kong
    Kirby
    Fox

    Pikachu
    Charizard
    Link
    Zelda

    Inkling
    Isabelle
    Samus
    Marth

    Not gonna lie, Fox being on this list is real weird (but at least he's not Captain Falcon). Samus is kind of borderline as well, although MP4 is coming out, and Fire Emblem only having one representative is kind of baffling since it's such a huge franchise.

    Star Fox is an active series, it had releases in 2015 and 2017

    Mario and Pokemon are the only ones with multiple reps because they are the biggest sellers. Fire Emblem sells well, but not on that level. Mario has 5 because the broader mario series dominates nintendo sales charts. Super Mario, Mario Party, Mart Kart, Mario Sports...

    Hi, I haven't played a Fire Emblem since the 3DS one, and I really like having Robin in the game. However I am disappointed at another Fire Emblem character and can't wait for 5 more from the next fighter pass.

    Well Byleth being in Smash made me finally start up Three Houses last night. My first impressions are that this game is kinda ugly? The 3DS games honestly looked better in general, tiny stump feet included. Combat animations so far seem fine, but again I feel l like they were better in the 3DS games, they were more over-the-top and had more personality. Granted I'm at the very beginning of the game so that might change.

    That being said the voice acting is great and I want to talk to literally everyone. I honestly might keep going just for the plot and characters.

    Nintendo was actually pretty smart showing something in the final trailers for the game, because I honestly probably wouldn't have even given the game a shot if they hadn't. It's probably not considered a spoiler but I'll spoil tag it anyway
    Showing the time skip was the one thing that actually caught my attention. I 100% bought the game for Edgelord Punished Dimitri. But now I actually have to get to that point.

    Your memory may be a bit rosy regarding how the 3DS games looked, up to and including their animations

    It's true that 3 Houses isn't very pretty, granted

    I know someone who strongly agrees with you! And when they presented a few videos as evidence I definitely saw their point. A lot of Three Houses’ animations are very static, especially in cutscenes.

    I hope you enjoy the game regardless. :)

    I want the next 3D fire emblem to cut down on the number of animations but make each one feel very unique to the class, I feel like its something they still haven't quite figured out yet

    There's kind of a weird pattern where I think all their handheld game animations looks way more sick than their console game animations. The sole exception being that shadow dragon ds game that looked like aasssss.

    For what it's worth, the animations in Three Houses get a lot punchier and more elaborate once you start hitting higher class tiers

    The unique classes for the lords go pretty bananas in places
    Edelgard's mastery skill for her final unique class is just the Hero crit animation from the GBA games, up to and including throwing her shield straight up before going sickhouse on the enemy

    Yeah, Claude has like four or five crit animations.

  • PolaritiePolaritie Sleepy Registered User regular
    They're still not going to top Lyn's crit animations, but that kind of anime nonsense is hard to replicate in 3D.

    Admittedly, it was mainly the agile types who got them. The crit animations aren't bad overall in 3H, it's just we don't get the flashy afterimage crazy anymore.

    Edit: Although one thing it sold well were the heavy blows of knights and generals. Just launching weapons like fucking cannons through the enemy, before winching them back on a chain.

    GBA Generals were just so good.

    Like I loved their aesthetic and animations so much.

    When I got Awakening I wanted to change my character to heavy knight/general ASAP

    And then I found out their sweet attack animations were no more and I was devastated.

    Yeah I'm really digging Fire Emblem so far.

    I found some shit gauntlets on the ground and gave them to Dedue and he started just wrecking everyone. I had to go back to his axe so other people would actually get some xp

    I was not aware of this but layton's mystery journey: katrielle and the millionaires conspiracy got a switch port with all DLC and new content? Just saw it in the wild.

    Played the 3ds version and enjoyed it a lot, I reccomend it

    Man the writing in the Black Mage Village in FFIX is soooo good.
    Vivi: "Hey, how many people have... stopped moving?"
    No. 288: *Turns to face the graves* "You're very kind for using our words."
    No 288: "But you already know what it means to live... and to die."
    ...
    No. 288: "I haven't told anyone else this. I know if I did they'd feel what I feel."
    Vivi: "And what do you feel?"
    No. 288: "I don't know. Fear? I don't want to stop. And maybe I want to run away from it all...
    But living in the village with the others fills me with joy. The joy of living with them far outweighs the fear of death."

    Going through Tokyo Mirage Sessions now that it's on Switch, I'm remembering why I loved this game. The session fast-forward is much appreciated - it's a toggle you can flip whenever a session is happening and all you see is the actual blow of a session strike with non of the wind-up.

    Dumb smash speculation:

    The title card for the Altair costume said Smash x Altair, not Smash x Assassin's Creed. And that's because they're adding Ezio in the season 2 dlc and they're saving Smash x Assassin's Creed for that

    At first I thought it might be an ESRB thing, but Persona 5 is M rated just like Assassin's Creed, so I dunno.
