I don’t want to come off like I’m trying to shame this guy, but knowing my way with words I might. Regardless I saw this on twitter and was absolutely appalled, he’s the last person who insists Smash Ultimate is a port of 4.
I want to say if you’re disappointed your fav didn’t get in, that’s fine, I'm not upset that people are disappointed, and sure, the Piranha Plant being a character is both hilarious and salt-inducing, but I totally understand why people are pissed about it.
But this? This is complaining that the extensive work Sakurai has put into Ultimate, that was showcased up to Nov 1, was all fraudulent because a list of 100 characters didn’t make it in, it would have been swell if Sakurai did add every desired character, but how was Sakurai going to add every single desired character.
If you’re gonna criticize, criticize the game, not Sakurai, I get putting people on a pedestal is dangerous business but the man really has worked tirelessly for a new smash game when it could have actually been a port, or even a smash game that pulled characters and added in new ones, instead he brought in everyone, made an Adventure Mode which is a combination of Melee and Brawls SSE, added nearly every stage, did it all since Smash 4′s development cycle ended, and with a bad shoulder.
I’m preaching to choir with this post on being respectful and grateful towards Sakurai and understanding that it’s ok to be sour if your fav didn’t get in, regardless of whether you believed the leaks or not (Isaac hopeful, guilty as charged), but when I saw this post I just had to speak up, best way I knew how.
And to add on about the whole ‘criticize the game’ bit, Melee had some janky-ness that becomes apparent now, some characters were very poorly suited or not that good (Kirby, Bowser, to name two) that got improved in later entries.
Brawl has the obvious problem of tripping, but also characters feel heavy, and another common criticism is slow movement.
Smash 4 was very clean cut, but had a bad UI, and a confusing menu.
So tl;dr, do not be like this guy, Sakurai is only human.
