Hey everyone, now that the hype has cooled down a little I wanted to share my opinion on upcoming smash bros game this has been a hot topic among the smash bros community, and has even tied our favorite the inkling into the smash scene.
So here are my predictions, my personal feelings, and my hope for what will come out in this new iteration
First off, this I believe will be a new game
I have said this across multiple threads and here is my reasoning,
1. 8 player smash, right now the Nintendo switch isn't compatible to play 8 player, even if it was 4 players would either have to use the independant joycons, so due to this right now a major component of smash 4 would be completely taken out...they might be working on a way to make this possible but right now I don't see this as a viable option
2. It has been 4 years since smash 4 released, yeah they have maintained and balanced the game for quite some time after it's release but you do not need a whole team of developers and programmers to do that (not cost effective), likely quite a few of these people began work on the next game or other project shortly after the initial release
3. Mashahiro Sakurai is returning......if this was simply a smash 4 port why would he need to return? Most of the works of his previous game would have carried over and the team could have easily just add in a few new characters. The facts that he is returning in any capacity that he will be spearheading the development of what will likely be a entirely new game.
4. Licensing smash 4 is impressive, but will Nintendo be able to keep it's cast of characters, cloud was put in as partial promo for the FF7 remake (which has still yet to have any details about it's release). Bandai Namco is no longer shown as working on this title whihc mean Pacman might not make the cut, and other character (greninja, lucina, dark pit, and dr. mario) are likely going to have to be weighed and removed due to to other circumstances. (sorry to kill a few dreams, I hate to do that). So there are likely going to be a few holes open for new faces and returning character to fill.
Whether this game is a Splatoon 2 (which kinda felt like a 1.5 and grew into it's own game) or a standalone sequel to it's predecessor there 1 thing for certain this is a new game
My Dreams
Amiibo costume saving: Between botw, mario odyessy and Splatoon 2 you have so many unique costume and variants that you can mix and match, one thing I'd love to see is being able to save said costume and place them in a unique amiibo costume slot to give the player some customization options, and a closer attachment to their character.
The Odyessy (map): I have been thinking about all the many places you explore in odyessy but none can do it quite as well as a flight on the odyessy through the iconic locations... I am not a big fan of moving stages but I would love to see the view that mario saw as he took off on his adventure.
Hyrule castle/ Divine Beast (map): these would be large maps like hyrule temple, and don't need much of a gimmick, but seeing this small callout to BOTW would be great
Octolings: I am greedy, I don't care, since the inlings made it in have an octoling variant skin in game...goes a long way to promote them in S2
Blight Gannon: A re-skin over the classic villan would be great and with so many imposing bosses it would be cool to see a few new skins to reference them, it would be even better to see new abilities to reference them but I'll take what I can get
Link RNG: Link has always been a consistent character with little to no change, but let's make him a little more random, add rng to his bow, and his smash attacks,have a durability to his moves add to the uniqueness, it might make link a little more tricky to play but he could a very unique zoning charcter that is hard to predict and dangerous to misstep against
Predicitons:
Champions Botw: I hate to say it but likely not going to be playable chacters they all are so unique and having them all in game would be impossible but they could be an assist trophy, and you know what I would be okay with that (Falco is a little annoying but I'd like to see him actually do something)
Arms: these guys come from a flop of a fighting game, I am sad to see it end that way for them so why not bring over a stretchy fighter into the smash bros game they would fit right in with their unique mechanics and could preserve them until a sequel can improve their IP.
Rex and Pyra: shulk made us feel it, but these character would offer another unique take on the ice climber mechanic both rely on each other to battle so seeing them work together would be fun.
Anyways these are my feelings feel free to share what you would like to see or other opinions you have towards the game or charcters
*****Also I got tickets to E3 so I will give you guys if possible a sneak peek at the new smash bros and their roster while I am there
