>b-b-but you don't know how long a single character takes to make!
>It'll be half a year's work for Mewtwo alone!
This man lies more than Todd Howard.
Sakurai seems to go out of his way constantly to remind people that DLC is really hard to make and that they didn't start until after the game released.
>>321078745
Reminder buying all the DLC characters is the equivalent of buying the game twice over. Great that they waited until after release but the prices are fucking horseshit.
Seems about right to me. There are so many variables in Smash, debugging must be back-breaking.
Lucas and Roy were probably the easiest to make. Lucas reuses his Brawl animations, while Roy mostly uses Marth's, with some altercations.
>>321078745
Well there still is the possibility that Sakurai and his team are now focusing on a few characters and trophies at once rather than a crap ton of characters, trophies, and stages
>>321078745
>Hackurai is a consistant liar
HOLY SHIT STOP THE PRESSES
3 of those are rehashes though
Which is why he treated himself with Corrin. No, really. He pretty much said it.

If it does take so long to make a character, why not make one he likes?
>>321081876
Translation?
>>321082196
At the bottom.
>>321081876
Doesn't he always treat himself?
>>321081876
>While we were in the discussion phase, I did worry that we were getting too many "Fire Emblem" characters, [Pt1]
HE FUCKING KNOWS
>>321079245
No? Fighter Bundle #1 is $17.96, that includes Mewtwo, Ryu, Lucas and Roy. So you now if you want to buy Bayonetta ($5.99), Corrin ($4.99) and Cloud ($5.99), which is a total of $34.94, that it may be a lot, but it isn't even at the price of the 3ds version. Then you have to consider that by the time Corrin and Bayonetta are released, they could make another bundle including these three last characters.
>>321082440
Yeah, pretty much. Considering a solid fifth of the game's content are from Fire Emblem, Kirby, and Kid Icarus, I'd see he treats himself pretty well.
>>321081876
On the flipside if you are a fan of any of those franchises, then you are thrilled.
I am glad Dedede and Palutena actually made it into Smash.
>>321083185
>over half the price of the game for 5 characters and 2 semi clones
>Being okay with this
>>321086007
Never said I was okay with it, just pointing out how wrong you were.
>>321086007
if you are that anon
>getting called out for lying and fabricating statistics
>"b-but my point is still tr-true guys!"
If not, then yeah it's kind of a bummer, like people who buy shit in dota or whatever.
>>321086007
Well what the fuck else am I gonna buy on the WiiU? I've already checked out every major title and now I'm just waiting for more news on Zelda and Starfox.
>>321078745
Still salty that Shantae didn't get in, eh anon?
>>321078745
Who votes for this shit? Mewtwo and Cloud are the only ones even decently interesting to me. And there's still no Bomberman even though he should've been in every smash
>>321087652
>And there's still no Bomberman even though he should've been in every smash
Konami owns Bomberman. Konami is currently in a very questionable state of mind right now.
>>321087413
I don't care who gets in, I'm just sick of Smash autists defending a liar just because he works for Nintendo.
>>321078745
>Game revealed to be happening in 2012
>51 characters(Vets have 8 new moves so can't use "But brawl port" as an excuse)
>2.5 years from announce to 3DS
51(characters)/30(months) is about 2.
7/10(April-February) is about 1
So far it looks like while the game was being made it took 2 months to make a character and 1 month per character once all resources could focus on characters.
>>321083185
the bundles are the same price as individuals. Only cheaper option is Wii u+3DS option vs Wii U & 3DS separate
>>321088834
I fucked up. It is suppose to be 2 characters a month before launch and 1 character a month after
>>321088993
Oh you are right, my bad, still the final price for buying all the character is $34.99 so my point stands.
>>321083185
>a total of $34.94,
That's still hovering around EA levels of shitty, even if it isn't on-disc.
Lucas and Roy should be free. Mewtwo is understandable but aren't the 3rd parties priced by the companies that own them?
>>321089473
And? I'm not discussing if it shitty or not, and it wasn't the point of the ppost, all it was to point out that >>321079245 is wrong.
You know, even if you don't happen to like a lot of the choices for the DLC lineup, you have to admit it's pretty impressive they managed to produce four full-fledged newcomers like that.
I remember when Mewtwo was first announced, the most common expectation for DLC was mostly veterans with MAYBE 1 or 2 newcomers sprinkled in, if we were lucky. Ironically, in the end, we received more newcomers than we did veterans.
I kinda wish Wolf was included here, though. It would of been a nice way to round things out. Four veterans and four newcomers.
>>321090268
honestly it seems odd.
7 dlc members, but if you look at the 3ds screen, it would still have room for more to make it look slightly nicer.
I don't know, I'm still deluded into thinking they were picking their words with "the last newcomers"
Then again, I wasn't expecting Mewtwo at first either.
I'm happy with what we got, but I hope they have at least one more surprise.
>>321089473
>I've never played fighting games with dlc
yeah thats how much fighters cost, and some include a stage quit whining
>inb4 smash isnt a fighting game
Here's something I'm wondering: when they revealed a character, how much work was there left to be done on them?
>>321091330
Bayo and Corrin are 'done' as in all that is happening now is balance and cert.
They could be released today but then they would be unbalanced and maybe cause the game to crash under certain scenarios like getting hit with 5 bob-ombs on Midgar while someone has a golden hammer and Ness does PK Thunder, the weird shit they really need to test for.
>>321079245
Never play anime fighters if you think this is bad.
All I'm wondering is how Bayonetta looked so smooth and good graphically compared to Corrin or Cloud when his trailer came out. How'd they manage that in between the end of the poll and Dec?
>>321092470
The poll ended in like July dude. By that point most people had voted and they thought 'well may as well get things sorted now'
>>321092672
Oh shit, I had it in my head that it ended last month for some reason. :p
>>321092934
It ended in October, but there is no way they would sit on their ass and no nothing if most people voted in the first few weeks
>It's okay when Nintendo does it
>>321078745
who the FFFUCK is corrin
>>321094230
Lucina/Robin, Roy and Corrins trailers are all the same.
They all have a bit where they fight the other FE characters.
>>321094230
They're the Robin of Fire Emblem: Fates that comes out early next year.
>>321094543
>>321094549
>another FE character
y tho
>>321094661
Korrin is pretty much an advertisement for Fates, that's it.
