Whats wrong with anime sword fighters? I dont play smashSmash fans are perpetually stuck in the 90s and early 00s, and thus want characters from games they grew up playing, not from newer, modern games. That's why "anime" is such a buzzword, even though Link and Zelda 100% fit the anime aesthetic (but again, they grew up playing the Zelda games, so they get a pass). --- I often wonder if we are growing as a people... or in fact, regressing. ...

It just got saturated with 4.It's not just the "anime" characters, either. Newer characters like Bayonetta, Steve, and Min Min also got hate. And as far as "anime" swordfighters are concerned, Smash 4 only added Robin, Lucina, and Shulk, with Cloud and Corrin as DLC. That's five Fighters out of 20+, six if you really want to include Dark Pit, whose bow can split into dual swords. Ultimate's base game only had Chrom, and while I admit that nearly half of the DLC fighters so far are swordfighters, overall they still make up a small portion of the roster. The number of "anime" swordfighters in the game is overstated, plan and simple. --- I often wonder if we are growing as a people... or in fact, regressing. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Honestly, Smash is so big that no matter who they add some large subset of people are going to bitch about it. It's literally pointless for Nintendo to give a shit about the complaints or requests since they'll never please even a majority of people. Not like sales are probably hurting anyways.

Why are they wasting time expanding franchises that already have representation in the game when they could be spending their resources adding entirely new franchises? The past 2 fighters have been way less interesting than it would have been to add 2 new franchises to the game instead.

Blame video game media for leaning hard into the tropes to begin with. Smash is just selecting from the pool and has higher priorities than the weapon they hold.

Everyone was mega hyped for Sephiroth and of course he was wantedSephiroth is big enough in gaming that he fits in the roster ok and there were lots of people hyped for him, but it's just inherently more boring to expand on Final Fantasy when they could have instead spent those dev resources on adding an entirely new franchise. And there were lots of people who were underwhelmed by seeing another FF character especially one from the same FF game as Cloud. When there are so many titan game franchises that still have NO representation at all.

Anyone disappointed was massively outnumbered by those who wanted to see the most iconic JRPG villain in Smash. Xenoblade is somewhat popular nowadays so it makes sense that they would put in someone from its latest game. Sakurai even said he would've added someone into the launch version if it had come out sooner.
Final Fantasy has enough prestige for two mega popular characters to get in and be hype. It doesn't need to be just 1 character from an IP then move on --- "This is your last dance." ... Copied to Clipboard!

We just disagree. With only several slots left for us to buy, it's just inherently more interesting to introduce new franchises as far as I'm concerned but it's fine if you disagree

But I do think people are very frustrated with how Nintendo has basically abandoned many of their classic IPs. I guess it's sort of rearing its head in Smash now as well.I mean, as far as Nintendo's own offerings, they're pretty much all set without going into the deep cuts of their more niche titles, which for DLC Fighters would not be very wise (such characters would be better fit as base game additions). So, iat least with the DLC, it makes sense that we are seeing Fighters from newer Nintendo games, along with third party Fighters. Wetterdew posted... Why are they wasting time expanding franchises that already have representation in the game when they could be spending their resources adding entirely new franchises? The past 2 fighters have been way less interesting than it would have been to add 2 new franchises to the game instead.Xenoblade 2 in particular was barely repped in the game (just three music tracks and some Spirits, and Rex's Mii Outfit as DLC), and it was a very popular Switch title. There's no problem at all with them wanting to expand the series' scope in Smash using a title that they were unable to include until now. Plus, since Nintendo owns Xenoblade 100%, it's far easier to deal with rights and negotiations, which may be a boon in this COVID society. --- I often wonder if we are growing as a people... or in fact, regressing. ...
