I don't think this is a mode that's going to stand the test of time. I don't think it's something people are going to sit down and play a year from now, and I don't think there's even that many bosses in it from what I've seen, so all-in-all, I think they wasted development time on the entire thing. Granted, I didn't see what happened in between when Ganondorf and Wario became playable and the end, but as far as I saw, we had Petey, Rayquaza, Giant Diddy, some Golem thing, Taboo, and Ridley twice. This is what I saw when the game was up to about 60% completed. That's six bosses, not including Ancient Minister, Giant Bowser, and Master Hand, who are likely to be the remaining bosses. It just doesn't seem like the mode worked out the way it was planned. Basically, the story works in one of two ways: Characters meet, they join up, then fight together, or Characters meet, fight, then join-up and fight together. That's just about it, plot-wise. Honestly, they should have cut out all of the bland-looking side-scrolling stages for an extra boss, character, or whatever.
Ok. Wow, have we gotten spoiled. You just perfectly put this into perspective so I want to thank you.
12 new original move sets. That used to be an ENTIRE new fighting game...except it wasn't twelve new move sets it was just twelve characters. So twelve new move sets and new balance and game play mechanics for existing move sets sound pretty good. 41 different levels to play on...wow why is that not enough? It's 41 different levels.
Oh, and lets see too much time spent on Subspace Emissary? First off, I am thrilled they made a full fledged adventure game because that is what I played most in Melee.
But Subspace Emissary is not all they added:
Online Gameplay,
Co-op Adventure,
Co-op Event modes,
Tournament modes,
Create your own levels,
Replays and photos.
The game is filled with tons of goodness.
I am not directing this complaint directly at you thatguy, but many people complaining. This game is still amazing, and it is still going to be great. We worked ourselves up over wanting too much from this game...the truth is it is going to be great, and we should be excited to have all this news out.
Sure, do I wish other characters were added to the game...of course, I really wanted Bomberman and Mega Man as you all know...but Wow, what we got what we have is something special and amazing.
Olimar, Sonic, Snake, Metaknight, Wario, Zero-Suit Samus, Roy, Lucas, Pit, Lucario
Many of these characters were characters we have wanted to play for years...and now we can.
