I recently picked up the Garou: Mark of the Wolves port for Switch just to hype myself up for November(and because I've never played Garou before) and boy oh boy is it ever a good time. It's kinda weird playing Terry without his Rising Tackle, but Power Dunk gets the job done, plus it's very similar to Sol Badguy's Bandit Bringer which is good because I've play a lot of Guilty Gear in my day. With so many games to pull from I think we can safely say that Terry's in good hands. Also speaking of Garou... SNK bring back Hotaru you cowards! She is so much fun to play as, how has she not been playable in a game since 2007?!

The best Tsunderes are the ones who are attracted to other Tsunderes. Don't believe me? Watch "Kagua-Sama: Love is War" and you will understand.

I suppose the phrase "Want's to push more collaborations with DLC" all but confirms that wave 2 will most likely also be dominated by third party characters. It feels kinda weird that Nintendo wouldn't want to step in and promote their other games with DLC, not that I find that upsetting or anything like that. So far, going all in on third parties has been a net positive in my book. The only real misstep in my opinion was The Hero since it was really easy to predict and it didn't really appeal to me personally, but even so I'm still really happy for all the dragon quest fans out there because who am I to complain when I've got Terry Bogard, a character I really love, coming to the game.

I remember that fiasco all too well. It's pretty much the point in the Smash community where it all went from bad to worse in terms of character obsession. Also thanks for clarifying that comment for me, I am most appreciative.

HA! Anyone who thinks history is boring never studied the Punic Wars!⚔️🏛️ I highly doubt it's the Waluigi fans, they seem like the type that would be furious if another fire emblem character made the roster. However, I do think that this is a small minority of Edelgard fans not representative of the larger fanbase. It happens all the time.

I agree completely that this is just the machinations of a very small group of people. I found out about this while I was browsing for reactions to the last Smash Bros. updates on different gaming forums and social media sites. Though most of what I've seen about this crazy operation is people reacting to how stupid it is rather than acting in support of it. Still, I feel that talking about this kind of stuff helps keeps normal fans like us grounded in reality. You have to be able to recognize unrealistic fan behavior to better avoid falling into it yourself.

With an additional wave of DLC fighters on it's way, it's safe to assume that we have at least 6 more characters to go before we have our finalized roster, leaving the gates wide open for speculation on who we'll be seeing next. However, you can never truly satisfy everyone and fan outcry over the current DLC offerings is probably worse now than it ever has been in previous games. I bring this up because I recently discovered an insane plot started by a group of upset Edelgard fans to attack SNK for the inclusion of Terry Bogard as the fourth DLC fighter using the following tactics: Disliking all videos on the SNK official youtube channel. Review bombing SNK games on MetaCritic and other review sites. Disconnecting from online matches against anyone playing as Terry. Sending SNK's official Twitter angry messages disapproving of their "shilling" towards Nintendo. Words can not describe just how sad and pathetic I find this behavior. I get that Smash Bros. has a very passionate fan base, but this kind of outcry over a character's inclusion even though there's still plenty of time for other characters to make the roster is just baffling.

Probably red since I wear a lot of red shirts.

I think I would teach Axes, Brawling, and Faith. Not for any particular reason, I just would. As for the students, I'll take Dimitri, Dedue, Mercedes, Ashe, Annette, Ferdinand, Bernadetta, and Caspar.

I have a feeling Nintendo will want more first party characters as a means of cross promoting their other titles. It's just good business.

Personally I'm gunning for Monster Hunter as the last DLC fighter. We already have Rathalos as a boss in the game, so why not a Hunter in the roster to compliment that?

Terry Bogard is pretty much the poster character of SNK. Back in the 90's arcade boom they were easily one of the best developers in the business, especially their fighting games which could rival even Capcom's best works. SNK is not as prevalent nowadays, but with the recent revival of Samurai Showdown, King of Fighters XV in development, and now Terry in Super Smash Bros. I'd say they're looking to make a big comeback within the next few years.

I predict that Fighter Pass 2 will still have 3rd part representation, but Nintendo will probably add some of their own characters along side 3rd party guests for the sake of cross-promotion for their other games. Also, nah man. When it comes to epic Three Houses music, Apex of the World is where it's at! (god Shattering Star is pretty good to though) Gald to hear I'm not alone with the Terry hype around here, easily one of my favorite fighting game characters ever as well! I was laughing and cheering so much watching the trailer for the first time, probably more so than any other reveal trailer since the now infamous "Everyone Is Here!" announcement trailer.

TERRY BOGARD LET'S FREAKING GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also we're getting more DLC beyond the fighter's pass huh? Darn it Nintendo! My wallet can't handle this! Also we desperately need Sakurai to take a vacation already, that man has given so much of his life to this series and he's earned the right to a little bit of rest about a hundred times over.

Wow, I didn't think Nintendo had the guts to do it, but here we are. TMS is definitely one of the most polarizing games I've ever played, but it's still a really fun game I hope more people will give a chance now that it's on the Switch. All Nintendo has to do now is market the game on it's gameplay merits like the combat and dungeons and less so the narrative and aesthetics and it'll do just fine.

I don't really buy games twice if I still have the original, but damn... this one looks really tempting. The character models look great and the Bionis Shoulder could be a really interesting addition. So yeah, really happy that this is a thing so that more people can play this game, even if I don't pick it up for myself.

Well I wont be able to watch the direct live, but I'll leave some predictions anyway because it's fun. If more than half of them are wrong I want you guys to PM me gifs and videos of people/characters laughing at me. Banjo-Kazooie release date. Terry Bogard in Smash Bros. Fire Emblem Three Houses DLC. A new Retro Studios game(not Metriod Prime 4). New Xenoblade spin-off or port. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 teaser. Brand new Mario game. Brand new Wario game. Animal Crossing New Horizons teaser. Deamon X Machina trailer. Edit: 11. Bowser gets his revenge on Doug Bowser for E3.

As someone who loves Guilty Gear to death I can understand the sentiment, but overall SNK probably deserves it more in terms of historical significance to the fighting game genre. Though it's surprising that we didn't get a proper Tekken rep first. With Namco co-developing Smash Bros it seems like it would have happened by now.

SNK?! AWESOME! Terry Bogard from Fatal Fury is one of my favorite fighting game characters ever so I'm really hoping it's him, but with the recent revival of Samurai Shodown I wouldn't be surprised if it's Haohmaru.

I think Half-Elf Paladin would fit me the best since I'm an extrovert and a devout Catholic. Though if could be anything I wanted, I would be a Halfling Bard. If I was an npc/monster, I like to think I would be something cool like a Deva, but in actuality I'm probably something far less impressive like a Svirfneblin. This is the best thing I've read all day.

If you're implying that an Overwatch character like Tracer is coming to Smash Bros. I highly doubt it. That's not saying Overwatch isn't an industry phenomenon because it definitely is one, but since Smash Bros. clearly favors Japanese games I don't think Overwatch has enough going for it to make an exception. Banjo-Kazooie makes a lot more sense as a western IP in Smash Bros. since Rareware made all of the old Donkey Kong Country games and the characters fit in with the likes of Mario, Kirby, and Pokemon really well. Blizzard has almost no relevance to Nintendo outside of the recent Diablo port so letting them have a character slot in Smash Bros. just doesn't make any sense.

You certainly have a way with words my friend(despite a few typos here and there). Your interpretation of the story and themes is probably far more elegant than this game deserves. I've personally had a lot of fun with the game myself, not really best-in-the-series material in my book, but still good enough that I'd confidently recommend it to anyone. Also BLUE LIONS FOREVER!
