      Like guys... you know the point of smash remixes is to take some iconic songs and make them more upbeat to fit in the context of a fighting game, right? It’s not devs missing the point of the original, it’s you guys missing the point of a remix.

    Kazuya's tone with his trailer is because thats in line with the character in game. It's why you may have noticed sephiroth wasn't treated very silly. Kazuya is a very intimidating and methodical person. Half his endings involve chilling murder attempts. It's all about tension.

      in these editions, there were minigames, being battle, tumble, and glide. and java was left untouched, even though they also ported bedrock to windows 10, so two minecrafts on one system.

    Sora needed his counter, because it’s one of his essential unlockable skills in the series. I don’t know what else would’ve made sense in his down B slot. He’s one of the few characters I can think of who has a “smash style counter” in his original game, considering Melee introduced them for FE characters, when they never really did that at all.

    • @brandonwilliams6119
      @brandonwilliams6119 Рік тому +7

      Yeah but it loses it’s charm and uniqueness when many other characters already do the same thing, it’s completely useless against projectiles because it doesn’t knock it back to the opponent, not to mention in a game where “Everyone is Here” it’s just makes him feel rushed and a glorified FE Character and I’m a big Kingdom Hearts Fan too.

    • @brandonwilliams6119
      @brandonwilliams6119 Рік тому +18

      Remember Sora’s Magic Taunts? They knew what they were doing teasing us with those but here’s a concept I wanted to share incorporating those into his moveset.
      If Sora’s Magic Taunts were counters:
      ⏰Stop; Hitting Sora while doing "stop counter" animation will pretty much stop foe from moving. Stop time duration depends on damage %
      🍀Heal; The Heal move itself alone would recover a measly amount of 8% or something. If a foe hits Sora while in animation, Leaf Bracer activates and thus renders him immune/gives super armor and actually heals more (half of damage dealt?)
      🌪️Aero; Move alone grants Sora a small defense boost, but if hit while activating, wind box pushes foes back and Sora gets a defense boost that has some slight wind boxes while having a windshield that damages the foe upon contact.
      Ta-dah!!

But its works differently. And besides. Aero, and Time will feel like smuggling Items or combining Items with Special mechanics. And thats actually ok since your presentation of them seemed balanced. But i wish Sora could have gotten more Work. He actually does feel slightly rushed with some of his Kit not even being From KH1 at all, and doesn’t work like it did in that entry in the series. I think the counter can be unique since it works differently, and is pretty well balanced.

      @@brandonwilliams6119 I always thought of Sora's taunt spells as working similar to how they did in KH1. Although Stopga would act sort of like Mythra's Foresight, but also as a counter hit just so it's not broken. Curaga would heal for like 1.8% because it would literally be a free heal. And Aeroga would behave like a weaker version Shulk's Shield Art, again since it'd be free. It would definitely help with his floatiness.

    I personally rly enjoyed Min Min’s inclusion in Smash. I understand why a lot of people were let down by it, but I think giving it a lower score than Byleth is a bit ridiculous to be honest. Min Min inclusion brought upon a completely new series to Smash, and definitely had more effort and care put into her compared to Byleth. Of course, I can understand if you just enjoyed Byleth’s inclusion more, but objectively speaking I think Min Min at least brought in a lot that the Smash series hadn’t seen at that point compared to Byleth.

      In terms of additional content, Min Min is definitely better. That being said, having the worst character design in the game versus just a bland swordie is a big distinction, it means a lot for the value of the pack, so I don’t think that’s a particularly objective take.

    • @RohanJoshi910
      @RohanJoshi910 Рік тому +14

      @@DBE_TheZek I see what you mean, but I think character design is too subjective to be this big of a consideration. For example, most competitive players agree that Little Mac is terribly designed, but there’s still millions of casual fans who like him just the way he is. And Steve is even campier than Min Min, but Pjiggles didn’t take off any points from him in his ranking.
      Of course, disliking a pack more due to horrible competitive design is completely valid, but it’s still an opinion at the end of the day. Things like how much a pack provides in terms of visual and gameplay diversity, on the other hand, can be directly measured in numbers.

    Sephiroth being rated low because "It should have come with Cloud" seems dumb to me. Yes, of course it should have come with Cloud, but that Square left Smash devoid of content twice in a row, it should be commended that Sakurai went out of his way to continue negotiations for FF7 content and make that game feel truly represented.
    If Sephiroth did not come to smash, Cloud would still be left with 2 music tracks, one alright stage, and 2 music tracks. Sephiroth should be celebrated for being almost a middle finger to Cloud's original poor representation, not belittled for taking his time to do so.

    There's a perfectly valid reason why Simple and Clean isn't in Smash, and it's the same reason why Sanctuary, Face My Fears, and Don't Think Twice aren't in either.
    Square Enix doesn't own those songs. Yes, they're in KH games, but they're not KH songs. They're Utada Hikaru songs.
    As I'm sure you know, Utada Hikaru is a very famous musical artist, and as such, she's signed to a record label. Those labels pretty much have control over the rights to those songs, meaning that not only would Nintendo have to deal with Square Enix and Disney, but they'd ALSO have to deal with a big record label, who are notoriously greedy and controlling. It's easier to just not include those songs than have to deal with more companies.
    I'm sure there's some weird agreement with using the songs in actual KH games, since we get some of them in Melody of Memory, but Smash is a completely separate game.

    Fighters Pass 2 was a great way for the Smash team to round out the roster for Ultimate, it felt like each character deserved their spot from being relevant to the Switch’s titles that didn’t line up perfectly with Ultimates base game development like Min-Min and Pyra/Mythra, and some long deserved third parties like Steve and Sora who have been some of the most requested fighters. Because of this though, this pass feels less crazy due to its inclusions feeling more like givens, and more so a nice final stretch for Ultimate to close out feeling like a truly complete game. We also get a bunch of crazy move sets and play styles which is cool too, even if many feel like you need to study before trying out the character.

      You're right that it's not _guaranteed_ to go away after a kill, but the way the system works means that it almost always goes away either when you get a KO or pretty shortly afterward. The exact system is more complicated than I feel like describing in a comment, but the tl;dr is that you get a certain number of "points" when Winged Form activates, certain actions (like dealing damage or taking stocks) deplete your points, when they reach 0 it goes away, and getting a KO depletes a _lot_ of your points. (It has nothing to do with your current percentage when you get the KO.)

    These DLCs were what I wanted the most of these packs, new discoveries of gaming franchise I wasn’t familiar with that could with me over with fantastic soundtracks (they did, especially Kazuya). This is the spirit of Smash Bros for me, just like how Smash 4 introduced me to Xenoblade, Brawl introduced me to pretty much everything that wasn’t Mario, Sonic or Pokemon (I was 9) or even how Kingdom Hearts introduced me to TWEWY.

I'd bet that the smash team were only able to get the rights to one game's characters and stuff, maybe they could have gotten someone from another game that wasnt 7 like cloud, but if they did then the stage and music were gonna have to be from there too.

    I strongly disagree with Sephirtoh, I understand that it took them a long time to do something, a lot, but, the very fact that they were able to do so much is incredible. The musical selection is incredible, the stage is very pleasant to play and you can see the work behind it, in the end you are taking away points for what is not there and for shortcomings of Cloud that are not related to this pass, it seems that you are looking for excuses to bother with how this inclusion is and the points are invalid and weak, the amount of positive aspects seem not to matter at all
    On the other hand, I do not understand at all how it is that Pyra and Mythra have a 7, the character is double, but they only have 3 different movements from each other, which I do not consider enough to be worth a point in itself, the stage sucks, with poorly worked textures in both the cameos and the tree, apart from having very bad musical remixes, but still has a 7/10? In my opinion it is a loose pass that does not exceed 4/10

      Also ff7’s motif is incredibly unique and iconic, and honestly deserves to be way more represented than the other ff music.

      Now I cringe at my reaction to it bc I got the character and found him rlly fun to play and then I played ff7 and loved him even more, He became my best character and my main, Now I love sephiroth as a character and regard him as one of my favourite villains in gaming, thats just the magic of smash bros :)

    I think that Min Min's pack was probably closer to a 7/10 for me.
    I understand the visual cohesion that all of punches have which makes them blend together, and how that can be disappointing, but it's not like a character with lesser options like the belmonts where she's just going to be doing the same variation of those moves over and over. I'd liken it more to a character that has a really really good nair or grounded move that can feasibly play neutral for them; you're going to be seeing it a LOT, but it doesn't make what the player does any less impressive.
    I also just really like Min Min's design, and while I don't play her often, I am a fan of characters that let me completely shutdown somebody's approach. All in all a really solid pick.
    Okay so the ARMS stage is a controversial opinion but I absolutely love it. The bounce pads are fun to use in a casual match, I really really like how it looks visually, and the music from ARMS is like a solid 9/10 across the board.
    Overall, I was super super hyped for when min min was announced, and I still really like what the pack has to offer, but I can understand disliking the character and her playstyle. It's not perfect, I'd say, but I still really liked it.
    Though maybe I'm just a dummy because I'd rate the steve pack pretty low, one of my least favorite dlc packs outside of maaaaybe byleth.

I never personally cared that much about it but I did have some degree of hype for him, as he was the only character besides Banjo that I had even heard of. But that’s it. His stage, while okay, is just that, okay, and nothing special. He also doesn’t have the greatest selection of music on the roster. Only seven songs is a tough pill to swallow. I feel like this extends even to his trailer. If that trailer was given to any other character, it would’ve been probably regarded as only “decent” by most people.

    While it would've been cool having a rep from a different Final Fantasy, I think Sephiroth was a better choice purely to continue the tradition of Smash liking to have the hero *and* the villain from a series when possible. I think adding Cloud's rival to fight against does more for the game and makes more sense than throwing in someone from a different game; it's like how everyone always wanted K. Rool and Ridley in even though *they* could've been replaced with reps from new games.

    • @SonicTheCutehog

      Although for the cases with King K. Rool and Ridley, there weren't too many other choices from newer games to add. Remember that Metroid Dread released after Ultimate's DLC was over, so adding a character like Ravenbeak would have been impractical. Final Fantasy has numerous games with different protagonists and antagonists, but I also vastly prefer Sephiroth since he is one of the most iconic characters in the series next to Cloud.

    Banjo and Kazooie are the 2nd most hype characters to release.
    Terry was the best character to get started on fighter-style characters.
    Byleth was the best twist on the standard swordfighter class (besides Robin).
    Min min had the most unique moveset change relative to everyone else, with her controlling her arms with two different buttons.
    Steve was the most deserved and the most faithful to his source game.
    Sephiroth had the most powerful reveal and the most interesting implementation out of everyone.
    Pyra and Mythra had the most varying synergy out of others.
    Kazuya had the most amount of moves in Smash with plenty of ways to fight.
    Sora was probably the best way to end the fighter’s pass as the hardest and most wanted character to get in.

    With Pyra/Mythra, a little surprised that no comparison was made with how shiek and zelda used to be prior to smash 4 as I think thats what the Aegis girls were meant to pay homage to. I’d give them and 8/10 but the stage drags them down a notch as there could have been a few locales to choose instead of something rather limiting.
    I can think of other stage ideas that could be better for xenoblade 2 like Cliff of morytha with artifice ophion as a hazard, the soaring roastrum from torna with artifices fighting in the background, lefteria with alternating mini titan platforms or some location in Tantal. Granted we’d lose out on Azurda’s commentary but I’d probably take losing that for a more interesting stage than something that’s frankly way too small for a fight with more than 2 players.

Switching between two one being faster and weaker and the other being slower snd stronger. Obviously Pyra and Mythra capture that much better making both useful compared to prior where sheik was always better.
      I'm actually of the opinion that their stage is really good. It's honestly one of my personal favorites. I dont mind the layout being simpler and find the size decent enough for up to 3 or 4 players still a little on the small size but good enough. I appreciate that it has a gimmick that can influence the fight without interrupting it via gramps moving his head and neck. And more than anything, I think its one of if not the best option to showing the world of 2. More than any one single location or titan. The stage we got better showcases two of the most defining aspects of xenoblade 2's world. The cloud sea and the titans.

    This guy really said he doesn't like Sephiroth's comeback mechanic because *IT'S ACTUALLY BALANCED*

    They literally explained in Sephiroth's presentation that international licensing rights are the reason it took so long to get more FF7 music. They had to get the rights to every sing in EVERY territory.

      Oh, and not to mention Simple and Clean is not even owned by Square OR Disney. It's by the singer, Utada Hikaru's record label.

    PJiggles, going back to that backstory of yours, you are not cringy at all ! Your content is amazing, there's nothing to be cringy about ! For some other creators (or even normal people), when viewing our own videos, we usually feel cringy, so it's completely normal to feel cringy.
    Anyway, i might have done it a bit too much while typing this, but all you gotta know, is that you're not cringy to us. :)

    I honestly think the connection to Steve is pretty cool since I don't have that for any of the characters. I would say Sonic would've been it for me but Brawl was already out by the time I could remember.

    Sora and his stage alone carry the pack. His reveal was the only one that physically hurt me. I squealed so hard, I had a sore throat for two days following the reveal

    I swear if the last DLC trailer would have been the Fiery Smash Logo turning into the Darksign before dropping a bonfire I think I would have gotten a heart attack
