what about the fact that Wii Fit Trainer is a main fighter, but there are also multiple "Wii Fit Trainer Doing a Pose" spirits

Those spirits are not Wii Fit Trainer. They are Tree Pose (as demonstrated by Wii Fit Trainer.)

How the essence of a yoga pose was struck by the light of Galeem and transformed into a spirit is beyond me but it nonetheless does not break the rules.

All you lore nerds are going to look really stupid (moreso than usual, I mean) when they announce Mecha Jimmy T. as a DLC character.

Not going with Kaptain K. Rool as the default outfit-- gently caress not having Kaptain K. Rool as an alternate outfit-- is one of the biggest problems with his character. K. Rool looks adequate enough, but it's a sloppy design and everyone knows it.

Reiley posted:

I just realized this, but the reason that Spirit characters are ineligible for DLC is because their physical bodies were destroyed by the piercing light of Galeem and so they're unable to participate in Smash without a host body. DLC fighters can only be those whose universes did not intersect with the Smashverse during the events of the World of Light canon, as outlined by the Tabuu affair chronicled in Brawl. This is why Sakurai confirmed that all DLC would be from series new to Smash, because they have not been tied into Tabuu's pandimensional web yet.

That's the main reason for the "Spirits deconfirm a character for DLC" theory, but at the same time, the game devs could just ignore their own logic they've set up and allow a character in, but their fighter spirit is of their Smash render (similar to how Cloud, Wii Fit trainers and Pokemon Trainers use their Smash renders as fighter spirits).

So honestly it could go either way. Neither side of the argument has proof, and Nintendo isn't interested in answering the debate until they decide to stop adding DLC for Smash.

It can't go either way because their phsyical bodies have been vaporized by the power of a force greater than our capacity to understand it. That's the whole point.

Why did I just run into five different Little Macs on online play? Did he just get a buff or something? If so, he's been buffed to "still a loving disaster."

Every online game has a peak of new (and usually bad) players after Christmas and around June/July when summer vacation starts. Especially Smash since it's a children's party game.

If I could hazard a guess, it's because most people's most recent Smash game was 4, where most people played on the 3DS, where Little Mac was very dominant, especially early on and on the 3DS. Which, if that's the case, you should expect to see more Bowsers than usual, too. Now that Ultimate's coming around and it's their first exposure, they're going with their "mains" as a safety pick.

To answer your question specifically, no, Little Mac didn't receive a buff and is still one of the, or arguably the, worst of the worst in this game.

He may be hot garbage, but you cannot say that you main a character until you're comfortable using them against Little Mac. As bad as he is, he tends to delete people pretty easily.

If that's the case, I main every character since they each have a grab and can do an offstage aerial.

Mac still kills bads without taking any skill himself to do so, he'll forever remain an online superstar. He's still one of the most common characters I see online outside space animals, PK Boys, and fatasses.

Anyone with a functioning shield, a move that puts Mac in the air, and enough sense not to just randomly throw hands into a Mac jamming Smash attacks will murder them, but that is possibly less the 50% the player base so winning record baby.

So, I didn't really think they were going to announce it at that video game award thing, but is it wild to anyone else that they didn't announce the last DLC before a huge sale period (Christmas/Hanukkah)? Just seems like a missed opportunity although I don't really know how much people are impelled to buy a game because of specific DLC, especially if it's for a kid or something. Since Terry was released though, it just seemed like a weird omission and a big gap in what felt like a pretty steady stream of information before that. Maybe they're building up to something wild/intense from a programming perspective? There's really no way to know from what little they've been putting out

Anyway I hope it's Travis, cooking Mama, or Katamari prince.

They're probably saving the last character for a January direct because it's been a while since the last one and it be an opportunity to show what to expect in 2020.

I dunno, the last Star Wars has kinda put me off wanting people who have departed this Earth to come back as CGI characters/fighters.

It's weird to watch your GSP grow without doing anything. I went from 5.7 to 5.9, partially thanks to Christmas and Black Friday.

Two losses, one red bar (gently caress you you're going to pause for three seconds as I'm meteor smashing!) and six wins later I gained....10k gsp. Only, let's see, four hundred games to go!

Also I finished the night by playing a match as Ridley on the Mario Galaxy stage against a K. Rool who tried their lovely little cannonball > suck combo only to learn that Ridley's recovery smashes through it and also that I ride or die bithc so that was satisfying
