ARE YOU SAYING I'M NOT?!?

If they're name-calling/attacking? Hell yeah.

Bashing is one thing, criticism is another.

As long as there are systems put in place to prevent people from using the Flag system to grief each other. Because this does happen, a lot, on basically every website that's ever used a system like this.

"There are a lot things to take into account when deciding [characters]." Sakurai wrote. "Does the character have something inherently unique about them? Can that be used to make Smash Bros. interesting? Is the character a representative character [for the source material]? Do they conflict at all with other…

Yeah the post is pretty BS. According to his post we shouldn't have clones like Dr. Mario and Lucina and Ness, Captain Falcon, Duck Hunt Dog and R.O.B. shouldn't even be in the game.

Hell of a lot less creepy than anime-face up there.

Klonoa needs a new game ;_; He'd have a pretty unique moveset in SSB too...

Ok, it's nice that they're hearing fan feedback. But there's far too many characters from a few games being represented. I also would have liked to see more non humans like Birdo and Klonoa.

So what's his excuse for Dark Pit besides nepotism?

Reading through the comments, does anyone actually like Nomura?

They should have had this in there(a close-up version) and not the 3D render.

they should credit the one who did the 3d model, posed it and rendered it more than Nomura. Nothing changed and she just looks more realistic. Not even that Nomura looking.

Seems a strange thing to Nomurafy. The design of the character is basically the same, just the face has changed, with some Final Fantasy lighting effects added.

As a vet gaming dev I can tell you layoffs are unfortunate and VERY common in this industry. The reply's on here are spot on when they say their biggest regret is getting into the industry. I 100% agree, if I could do it all over again I would get a real job and not go to clown college and get a clown degree. I'm…

The point of these roundups is not to convince readers to boycott or get mad at any specific company, but to illustrate that this is a systemic problem that the video game industry needs to keep talking about and addressing.

I don't think Kotaku would be sued; it's more likely to protect the people giving out their stories. It's tough to get a job if you're deemed 'unhireable' due to complaining about your old job (no matter how legit those complaints totally are).

In one sentence he would be begging us for more money to keep his company afloat, and then tell us about how he was having a brand new fully-decked-out Tesla shipped in that he just bought.
