On the DLC look of things in Smash. The DLC is a costly, and sometimes I think DLC fighters were power creeping after every character. Mewtwo is the worst, Lucas, Roy, Ryu was the best, Cloud dropped down to a degree but none the less the best and perfect DLC, then two power houses recently dropped in on us.

I think it's kinda funny how people cry how they're not getting their money's worth now their face-touching content might be removed. People who didn't want the face touching had to put up with it in the fanbase and thought the same how they might not get their money's worth because their's more content not revolving round the core of Fire Emblem but revolving around pandering Otaku.
Welcome to our level of the plain. Get equalized bruh.
@AlanJones84 - I agree. I believe it's the same with sex in games. The industry is general is too premature and they're not taking the topic seriously thus it gets thrown around and sometimes starts stuff. But as this is a serious topic, we can't back away from it.
I think we can all agree that (While it was always anime) it never pandered to Otaku fanbases with such tropes and humor. Fire Emblem Fates apparently has good gameplay, so not to worry, but how the franchise represents itself with content, story and visuals is something IS should respect and always think of when making a FE game. This applies to all dev teams making a game.
@liljmoore - The same people who took the content out aren't the same people who put it in. But the main reason is, money, down to a whole. And obviously, you're not mature if you keep babbling about the past and content that was removed that you think would effect the whole quality and your enjoyment of the game. I repeat, reeeal mature.
I really wanna see what they do with Samus now that she's infused with Metroid DNA. I want a game where she sucks energy from opponents dry and unlock secret abilities Metroids were unable to tap into. Also love to see Samus's Suit go from Beta to Omega form like Metroids do. Metroid universe is massive they really need to expand it.
It was amazing. It's no Super Metroid, but at least this was served on a silver platter. What I hated about this game is the fact that you have one and one chance, at the end, to go search for the rest and the remaining items, but you need to do some really hidden tricky crap to do it, and get from sector to sector. That was quite a design flaw.
I have to give Sakurai the benefit of the doubt. Their was no plans for DLC after release. We were going to be stuck with clones and no we thought it was ok. But we got amazing characters from this deal, I bet it really made Sakurai wish he never made clones right before finishing.
Sadly, Corrin got the short end of the stick with this. If Lucina was an alt skin from the get go, then people would think twice about judging Corrin and making the meme of too many Fire Emblem characters. Face it, your waifu is the devil.
@B238ben - No. NO! I won't think of this! I won't be able to sleep. No. Just no! It's way too long for Smash 5 if there's ever going to be any. No No No. No. no.
I found it very anti-climactic. Raise the roof with Cloud, and Corrin and Bayonetta kinda ruined it. It wasn't a big massive finish the Direct hoped out to be. Corrin was a ruin, due to the fact that not everyone plays FE and even knew of this character. It was also a scam. Why promote? We're going to throw money at whatever character you make anyway, but don't suck FE's d*ck about it. Any other character could do.
While I think Bayonetta is cool and interesting, she didn't impact the world as I thought. Compared to what Shovel Knight, Shantae, Banjo, Wonder Red, Isaac and many other character choices could do, it doesn't seem like something the fans deserved. I'd be more happy if the character was iconic like Mickey Mouse, or Nintendo based, because c'mon, I didn't vote for Isaac but even I know Golden Sun needs something.
But I won't say I won't enjoy Bayo, but I expected more after Cloud. Maybe Cloud should have been announced last.
@Aurumonado - No, that's now how it worked. Pretty much no one voted for Cloud and no one expected him. Sakurai sucker punched us and we just weren't prepared for it. While Beyo was clearly told by the wild man himself that she was a Ballot Fighter, Corrin was also out of the blue, but felt foreshadowed by the recent messages by Sakurai about Fire Emblem.
Congrats to Beyonetta This is still quite a "Climactic" character reveal. Whether I wanted Banjo and Kaz or not, I'd always be happy. And the fighting style isn't cliché, she'll place high on characters to buy and play. Well done.
@Squidling - You don't appear in the FE community much don't you. The "Optional Argument" is considered a degrading meme. Don't put it in Smash, thank you.
Man, Sakurai's gotta FE boner. I mean, I love FE too, but there's a line. But I digress. No matter how much I think his character was just some really bad excuse, Corrin will do well in the meta I think. If Lucina was just another Alt skin, then we'd probably look away at this, but no.
I just think the gameplay is way to slow and the special effects get in the way, making it hard to see with smaller vs. bigger characters. Even Dawn from Pokemon said something about less is more appealing.
@DickSportswiener - Tink can combo from projectiles, Link is heavy zoner and power combat based. And what of Space animals? Pew-pewing, deflecting, Side-B'ing all the time. Really tho, what would you expect between Marth and Lucina? They're. Clones. What's worse is that you completely ignore the fact that it's not the characters, but the players. If people want consistency, they play Lucina with the same damage across the blade. Or, play Marth whom is more skill based and needs plays to sweet-spot with that tipper. It's the same argument with Marth Vs. Roy.
Sakurai, like me, loves his Fire Emblem, and if he made FE15 or heck, even just took FE from IS and completely fixed it... I'd confirm to never get his wild ride. I'd think he's even make Smash Amiibo's even work with his version of FE.
I was my least favorite despite the good add ons like some legendaries, abilities, moves, items and the competitive. But a lot of lore that was just bad, pokemon designs were quite disgusting not far from Gen 5, like Gen 3 a lot of "What do I do?" moments and "How do I get there?", pretty much no Fire types until Plat-Ver making Chimchar a choice for typing reasons, weak and unmoral story, not a lot of characters did anything, Cynthia is only liked because of her design and theme, but she did nothing, like in the Distortion World all she did was potato when she's so much better than you che could just do everything herself. Just a lot of missplays in this gen.
This bashing is quite disrespectful. Megaman's dead, and someones trying to remake it in today's culture. Seriously, it's one of those game that plays better than it looks. But hey, wanna think like that and not buy the game, get out of the way and don't comment. Move on. We wanna hear good things, not toxicity.
@Pokefanmum82 - Fair enough, but, just for a sec. Leave out everything else, because it's their game, so they can change it, just give them a benefit of the doubt. If it's just an outfit to you, you wouldn't care if they changed it, would you?
Oh, no. Another controversy? Seriously, who cares. If it's going to offend someone, better safe than sorry. Either way, they're both cute. So why make a fuss?
@Eden_Valkyrie - Monster Masume, an anime about monster girls was censored despite being made in japan, non-human characters and also don't exist.
Young girls on the beach in One-Piece swimsuits. You don't see 10-13 year olds with revealing skimpy swimsuits.
NoA isn't discriminating women, because they're too busy dealing with the fact that Localization means to change the game so it's legal here. Japan can be a little Misogynistic to there women all they want by making 13 year-olds look skimpy for the sake of pleasing Otaku, but you're asking, the west, to respect that despite the west and Japan having different cultures. Don't go to the extreme about being a feminist, cause I believe you're not taking this into different views. Have you ever had the thought that, if it wasn't for that whole 13 year old character incident that Japan put in, then maybe the Breast Slider wouldn't have been removed. NoA are just skeptical about who the target audience is. Again, understand what Localization really means.
@LavaTwilight - The Limit Break gauge is above Cloud in battle tho and not next to Cloud's % status. I don't see why it would charge that fast and have it's own animated stance, either.
Screen shots have been shown of characters trying to obtain a red orb, which summons the eidolons for the Midgar stage.
The only thing to me is, I expected a toughened up She-Link. Not a prancing little girl divided from a character that kills anything with everything, with grunts.
@DarkKirby - I don't need a 'cultural-ization' to go play Yokai-Watch. I don't care because it's tame. Maybe I should ask Sakurai to get rid of Samus's jet boots in Smash, but what would that do? I like how it is (Except the competitive!!)
Maybe you missed my point, cause I'm talking about how Japan love sex, but not everyone else does, so if they put sex/rape scenes in Fire Emblem, would it be the same? Would you still buy it if you're a fan of the series? But what if they censored it in the localization, then it might turn out better and had none of that and was truly game of the year worthy, hm? You'd might consider getting it. You can solve this by maybe playing the uncensored version, that has nothing to do with me.
Is that just it though, because we know Japan love to oversexualize, but was this censorship due to happen because Japan are pandering to the males which is what they usually cater too? This made NoA act to not please the sexual desires in the localization. So what, is this a miss understanding. Are people jumping to conclusions and not giving the benefit of the doubt. All I hear these days is "Don't judge." but without judgement, we wouldn't be here, arguing this.
@darkkirby - I hope he knows there's a big difference between the common shonnen and the amazing spiderman every week. They're both totally different, but he's asking for their beliefs to be forced on us. Maybe I don't want rape scenes in my next Fire Emblem with waifus and anime tropes and to get a better game, they need to censor it.
