Does this work, Heath?
Ah, sorry he beat me Horizon. Looks great, though!We mustn't keep a lady waiting
I am calm, I just used expletives.
You know what allows me, to get used to the characters, being able to play as all the characters FROM THE START.
You wanna know what gets me to play your game more, costumes, extra's shit like that. Having to play through your game , so I can unlock the full basic function of your game, is stupid.

This may not be the popular opinion, but I'm personally hoping for unlockable characters. One of my favorite things about Sakurai's games, and especially Smash, is the rush you get from unlocking thing after thing, whether it be characters, stages, songs, trophies, etc. I just LOVE that feeling.
And unlockable characters takes that feeling to a whole new level for me - there's just a very visceral satisfaction or pleasure I get from seeing a new square added to the character selection screen and slowly filling it up.
I do understand the arguments against having characters be unlockable, definitely, and I think there's merit to them. I'd just prefer to have them unlockable.
I dunno, I think the came from GameFAQs or something. Two separate rumors, both claiming Wario would be "revealed by the end of next week." (So, this week.)
That's how I'd feel too. It won't happen, but it'd be exciting if it did!

Naw, I'm saying Tekken 6 and Tag 2 was the first two without hidden characters.
Wasn't Unknown hidden in Tag 2?
As far as unlockable characters go, the practice started getting phased out once online play became the norm. I'm hoping that Smash doesn't go that route, but with them getting into the whole tourney deal, it may just end up that way.
With all the characters that have been revealed (so far, at this rate), I'm interested to see which Smash Bros. character is related to a character in the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. Especially Mega Man, who I'm a bit stumped with finding a character that closely resembles him.

As in "Heathcliff"
I don't know about any other's use for that sentence. However it is a valid and factual statement which specifically tells the precedent set by all three games.
Or are we just being argumentative to be argumentative? That time of the Smash Bros. Thread Cycle?

Make it so that you have to fight the characters in their alternate costumes to unlock those, but leave all those characters available from the start.
I don't mind unlocking as long as it isn't PLAY THIS MODE A GAZILLION TIMES LOLOLOLOL.
In Brawl I just used SSE for unlocks. Like I said unlocking Mewtwo was a special moment dammit.
That being said, I don't care if it is there or not. It will suck a little bit as I have less people to play with now as having stuff to unlock in fighting games is how I get a lot out of them lately but Smash Generally have enough single player content that it won't matter as much.
It is a nice staple of the series that may be a relic of its time to many of the "i want it nooooow" crowd also the internet has ruined the main reason for it (surpises)

It wasn't quite that but it was very dumb. Since Arcade mode was pretty much all that game had to work with, all of the unlockable characters required you beating it multiple times or in certain ways. And to get Seth you had to beat arcade mode at a certain difficulty with every character, including the unlockables.
And playing computers in SF, especially that many times in the same way, is NOT where it's at.

No worries! In fact, I may need an avatar change myself. Time to go rummage through the internet...Look good! Thanks!
Well I disagree. I hate starting a game, seeing 50 characters and having no idea where the hell to begin. I like to slowly get a feel for the games different characters. I like to be surprised by unlocking characters, and having fun discovering their moveset. I don't like starting with everything, I think that's too intimidating and a bit of a turn off to when I'm just starting a game. Having 40+ matchups to get used to right off the bat isn't all that welcoming.
Don't even joke about that.What if Lucina is the last character to be unlocked in a roster of 58 characters?
Heh, I was wondering if anyone would call me on that ;D
I've seen it attributed to a good few people but was never particularly sure who actually said it so I just went with Voltaire :3
Literal rivers of tears will be made.
Ahhhhh much thanks zroid! My autocorrect almost put zoid.We mustn't keep a lady waiting
edit: fixed
brb, going to the changing room.
Its alright, it's the thought that counts!Does this work, Heath?
Ah, sorry he beat me Horizon. Looks great, though!

If Sakurai is going to show off characters it makes sense that he'd show off ones people care about which. This may very well mean that characters no one cares about like Ridley or Shadow could be hidden as unlockables.
Too good.
The goods just keep coming!
Too good.
Probably posted here already, but I found this hilarious.

But everyone cares bout Ridley, right guys?

Really? Even after I just called this out already? "People don't agree with me because they have ADHD." That'd be as silly as me saying that people who want unlocks can't enjoy a game anymore if it doesn't give them a shiny bauble every 5 seconds. Is it true? No, but it's a low hanging fruit to try and make your own viewpoint look better compared to the opposition.
I don't feel things like that really enrich these conversations :/

Maybe I was secretly thinking of not doing it...you'll never know....
People cared about Wii-Fit Trainer before her reveal?
who? what game's he from?

I don't think anyone would care for a Charizard clone.
Wii Fit sold tens of millions of copies, and she/he is a nice surprise addition.
My heart isn't big enough for Ridley, sorry

Fuck you and your hugs. You're wrong and you should feel bad.
/s
You didn't call anything out the first time. I was merely calling myself old, and out of touch with what gamers seem to want now.
It appears you are being exactly what you feel you "called out".
Alien. Was the director.
Some people here lost their shit over a boring Marth clone.

Ultimate Marvel 3 did it, I believe SSF4 did it as well. Blazblue also. And doesn't Tekken 6 do the same thing? Again, you can have unlockable music, concept art, videos, whatever. But don't lock the essential element of your game if said game is multiplayer focused.
Once again zroid, thanks for the assist.
Don't you go pulling a plot twist on me.
*gasp*

To be fair, Ridley isn't anyone's waifu.

Looks great indeed, but it'll take some getting used to - you've had that Bowser avatar the entire time I've been here. What was the original source of that one, by the way?

Smash should unlock characters like Killer Instinct on the One.

Oh, plenty of people care about Wii-Fit.
I don't think anyone cared about Wii-Fit Trainer though,

I felt I was calling it out by giving an example, which I then immediately pointed out was not an actual valid statement. You're welcome to view it however you want though :/
We're all getting older Jaeger, from the second we're born. And there's always a new generation right behind us wanting something different :3

Real Talk more people would probably give a shit good or bad, if shadow was announced for smash, than a lot of the people announced. Also shadow is an assist trophy, and still people made a fuss over that. People made a fuss about people making a fuss about that.

If a Charizard clone is my only way to get Ridley, I will take it.

Poor Ridley, suddenly became unwanted
She ain't a boring girl.
I thought he was Ice's waifu?
So you're saying the reason you couldn't help me...was because I'm already dead?! *faints*
Is there pie and or other baked goods involved with your convos?
...You do realize Killer Instinct has all 8 characters available when you buy the game, right?
Don't be silly. Ridley a husbando, not a waifu.
wat?
I'm not saying that is a bad thing to be all like "I want it nooooow". It is just harder to justify locking out fighters in a fighting game anymore and I get that.
I personally like to unlock things but I understand why other won't.
I'm not arguing about it as I understand both sides here. There is nothing to agree with me about.
Does Ridley even have a biological sex?
