I don't. Though i suppose nintendo does have an endless supply of material.
Lozmaster Wrote:Are you kidding? Sakurai complete makes up movesets for tons of the characters that have no major relation to their own game skills. All the starfox characters, Zelda, Captain Falcon/Ganondorf, Zero Suit Samus, Wario, (Brawl) Pit all essentially had most if not all of their movesets made up from his imagination, or at best based on other characters in the games skills and not their own.
I hoped you would take this route. Do any of those moves construct a character that performs outside their logical ability? Do you think that if sakurai put totally expected, traditional moves from every character (a lot of which straight up doesn't exist content wise, so he has no choice to do what you said) it would be balanced? Do you think that it could be?
Lozmaster Wrote:And what does "force an iconic character into a specific character model" even mean? I didn't suggest he should have put his wii fit trainers moves on... Shulk or someone, the entire development time on wii fit trainer was an absolute waste that they could have spent on someone better.
Villager and his anti-camp model. Not convinced anyone else could pull it off as nicely. (and by the way, villager is a collector...a collector in a fighting game being a psychopath to the players isn't unexpected and it's hilariously fitting considering his appearance)
Wii fit i'm just straight up not going to continue talking about. We don't know anything about how she actually works and your judgements have no solid basis other than you hate the randomness and haste in the choice.
Lozmaster Wrote:If you think smash bros or any fighter for that matter can be "truly balanced", I'm not sure how to even begin to explain how unlikely that is. For crying out loud, he used mario kart of all things as an example of a well balanced game.
I think smash bros in general is balanced in a unique way, but i'm not going to get into that because this isn't a smash forum and i wouldn't have that conversation with the people here.
