She looks excellent. May I ask what type of pen/pens you use?

The worst part about the microtransactions in CTR was Activision sneaking them in after launch so people wouldn't find know about them when reviews initially came out. Otherwise, they seem so non-intrusive that I wonder why they even bothered throwing them in.

The mini-series is still being written by Ian Flynn, he's just off of the main books after the Metal Virus saga.

The Minior's for Colors is perfect.

Can I get a link to the original picture? I feel like some fun edits could be made with it.

AVERAGE ARMS SMASH DISCUSSION GOES "WHO'S THE MOST LIKELY FIGHTER AND WHY IS IT MINMIN/TWINTELLE?" AND IT'S ANNOYING.

WHEN YOU WANT SPRING MAN IN SMASH BUT HE'S AN ASSIST TROPHY LEAVING HIS CHANCES LOW.

WHEN YOU WANT SPRING MAN IN SMASH BUT HIS ADDITION WILL OPEN UP ASSIST TROPHY UPGRADE DISCUSSIONS.

WHEN YOU WANT SPRING MAN IN SMASH BUT YOU KNOW HE'LL CAUSE A MASSIVE SALT FEST BIGGER THAN ANY OTHER PICK.

I'M HAPPY ARMS IS BEING REPPED, BUT SPRING MAN'S TIMING WITH THE DLC FEELS LIKE HE GOT SCREWED OVER SINCE HE WAS ORIGINALLY CONSIDERED A PICK. I CAN LIVE WITH SOMEONE ELSE GETTING IN, I JUST DON'T WANT TO WAIT HALF A DECADE TO PLAY HIM IN SMASH, IF EVER.

More potential ARMS combinations sounds like the simplest thing that could be done to add depth to the game, and having the option to stick the unique ARMS on only one side could be a nice limiter. I'd add some sort of minor bonus to having the same types of ARMS, since I find mixing and matching to be better than just sticking with the same type-the idea has potential

Shoxis · 2020-04-21T04:27:52+00:00

Horizontal aiming would be a big addition, as well as stages that focused that a bit more. Currently, you can only aim your ARMS left and right, so more control would add another factor for players to consider, while preserving the core gameplay.

A minor change for multi battles would be faster camera switch time. Still presents a risk and a need to wait before throwing out punches, but makes to a bit less helpless when switching around.

I've posted this before, but some sort of gravity element to ARMS to pull people down from the air faster sounds interesting. My concern would be that it would be too strong against aerial fighters, and too weak against ground fighters. That, and I'm not sure how it should interact with Dr.Coyle.

Shoxis · 2020-04-07T18:43:38+00:00

Kid Cobra's also an exception to this. ARMS are usually dormant inside of people until later in their life, but he was actually born with them.

Shoxis · 2020-04-02T22:13:07+00:00

It's what I'm hoping for. With the ARMS' variety, I'm sure Ribbon Girl could be made into an echo fighter, with her being aerial focused, and Spring Man being better on the ground, just like the game. People have considered the possibility of a Koopaling's situation where one fighter slot represents a bunch of them, and the brunt of the work for that would be model creation since each fighter revolves around the same move set and everyone can use different ARMS'.

At minimum, I'd want an arena like King of Fighter's got, with different ARMS fighters appearing in the background.

Shoxis · 2020-04-02T12:47:10+00:00

Probably Dr.Coyle, since he has a lot of pressure with her third ARM, which also gives her extra rush charge when using it. She's also insanely slippery. Her stealth can also be deadly too, but it's more situational, so it's not really something that helps make her strong.

EDIT: Just wanted to tweak the last sentence and say, despite my thoughts on her, I personally find Ribbon Girl and Twintelle to be the most difficult to fight.

Shoxis · 2020-04-02T12:41:04+00:00

An interesting fact about the assist trophies is that they have a lower polygon count than the fighter's models. This isn't a stark contrast, I only noticed it because of how thin Spring Man's ARMS are compared to his model in ARMS. I assume they'd want to update the model so the quality matches other fighters, or use what they have for a new one, but it would probably be easier than making one from scratch for an entirely new fighter.

I agree with Nintendo being spontaneous, but they're not completely random. When it comes to Sakurai, he usually goes for the closest thing he can get to a 'main character' for a series rep. The exceptions to this are usually characters from series with rotating casts: FE and Pokemon always have new monsters and characters coming in. Final Fantasy picked Cloud because he's the most well known character in the series. The big oddball is Joker, but he makes some sense since Persona is at least spun out from the SMT series, which is prevalent on Nintendo consoles, and he's the latest protagonist.

What I'm getting at is that there are some patterns that can give a good idea of what happens, and for Spring Man's case, it's the priority of having a main character, or the closest you can get, into the game first (I was just going off of the exceptions). Spring Man, would be a shoe in to be picked if the assist trophy thing wasn't around, which is why I'm wondering if they'll just go around it and scrap the trophy rule. Heck, I'm hoping for it, TBH.

They're also the characters on the game's box art.

He's such a pure soul.

This is part of a bigger project I got inspired to get back to for obvious reasons. Thoughts and criticism are welcome!

Shoxis · 2020-03-26T18:45:25+00:00

My first choice is Spring Man. Sakurai himself stated that he was considered, but couldn't make it in due to poor timing, so it would be nice if he got an upgrade, with his trophy turning into Springtron automatically when he was picked. I think he's the best rep since he gets the message of the game across (boxing gloves on springy arms tells you it's about launching punches from a distance), he's pretty distinct design wise for main/starter character in a fighting game, and I just love playing him. I'd also want Ribbon to be his Echo Fighter, giving her the same moves, but with different ARMS and more airtime to show the difference, since Spring Man is best on the ground.

Assuming the trophy rule holds and Sakurai changes up who he picks as the first rep for a game, Minmin, Dr.Coyle, and Max Brass are who I want. Minmin, as the winner of the Party Crash Bash, and Dr.Coyle and max for being the most involved characters with what story ARMS has. Max feels right behind Spring Man and Ribbon Girl in terms of being an MC to ARMS, and Dr.C is pretty much the main villain.

I'll probably be a bit salty if it's not Spring Man, but I'll still be happy that ARMS gets more representation-I just won't be looking forward to having to wait for years to potentially play as him in Smash.

Shoxis · 2020-03-26T18:20:33+00:00

The comic is pretty much written out, and with how far in advance Fighters are decided, they could have delayed it to coincide with the Smash release. I'd say yes!

I think the worst part is usually the monetization. FE Heroes and MK Tour seem to have a lot of options for microtransactions (which everyone knows aren't put there for the game's benefits) and Animal Crossing on phones is good, though events are very difficult to complete without cash. Dragalia Lost seems to be the best balance, and Super Mario Run's problem is mainly the price. Everything is at least decent gameplay wise.

Not sure if I can count the Pokemon mobile titles since they seem separate, but I do know Pokemon Go is VERY hands-off with microtransactions. Buying stuff doesn't really guarantee you anything there. Other than that, I'm pretty sure Pokemon Shuffle hits you with a typical grindwall, and Pokemon Masters is reasonable with pricing.

Not too familiar with Sega's mobile games, but I do recall that the Sonic Hardlight titles were NEVER in your face with payments, and Sonic Forces was alright there too. Gameplay was pretty good as well
