Any Question is OK! I will answer all! They must be related to Super Smash Bros. Gold. Stray away from asking about a specific character inclusion please. Questions: 1. @SaimAxe : My friend keeps asking me this question but I always forget to ask you but are you going to include any Fire Emblem representatives. Lag Says: No. As lovely as it would be to put one in, it just takes up a slot. They're (Mainly) all just sword wielders and excluding Ike's Recovery and Corrin's... f e e t, It would just take up a slot for a series I connect little with. If there was a Corrin Spritesheet that worked, then definitely, but for someone who has played one game (I've only played Birthright) and has near to no knowledge about the series, it's not an idea that'll work. There will be a stage, however, Fire Emblem is that space between small and big. (To me!) 2. @SaimAxe : Regarding how the games feels and plays what smash game are you taking the most influence from? Or are you trying to do something more unique that the series hasn’t seen? Lag Says: Hm... Depends. Gameplay might be a still screen version of SSBC... But I'm making sure to leave some space for complexity in there. I'll see how I go. But in terms of art style / artistic direction, it's probably a more modern version of Melee. 3. @Master_Seth : w i l l r o b b e i n ? Lag Says: No. I already answered that question! 4. @bigguymandude : Will you grab ledge to recover or use a wall jump mechanic like rivals of aether and brawlhalla? Lag Says: Hm... Wall jumps will probably be apart of the code since due to how scratch's jump code works, it's already built in. They're won't be a ledge grab mechanic but I plan on having double jumps and maybe recoveries. There isn't a lot of space to fall on a ton of stages - some are completely flat! So I don't want to 'waste time' programming that feature in. Good question though! 5. @Jeffyjeff_production : Will there be any more non nintendo franchises added to the game's rooster and/or stage choice (Aside from Undertale and sonic)? Ex.: Final fantasy 7, mega man, etc. I've already revealed my big 3 as well as a 4th 3rd party. There is only one more with a fighter yet to announce, and the rest of the 3rd parties, to save space on the roster and time, have been sidelined until I finish programming the characters, and once I have, I'll consider those other ones. The only third party I will de-confirm (In terms of a fighter) is Cloud, who I wanted, but he didn't have a 'good' sprite sheet (His best one has shadows built in) and there isn't a replacement. So yes to a stage, no to a fighter. I'm heartbroken too ;o; 6. @DRDOG09 : More reps for underrepresented series? Lag Says: Hmm... Depends on what you mean. Taking the major 6 franchises and Third Parties out of the picture (Mario, DK, Zelda, Metroid, Pokemon and Kirby) there is only a small number of fighters, EarthBound is the 7th major, and the rest I consider Smash Staples or I identify as retro characters. Don't worry, Animal Crossing, Pikmin, etc. do have stages to represent them in the game. It'd be better if you were more specific. 7. @DRDOG09 : What about... Star Fox Lag Says: Star Fox isn't really underrepresented in SSBU. I mean, if you're a Krystal fan then sure but if you're not, then it's pretty balanced. But no. He's not in. He just doesn't have any good sprite sheets. A Stage can be confirmed. Look if you can port over the SSF2 Sprites for Fox (High Res on scratch) (And while you're at it, Marth), then sure! But for now, now. 8. @PokemonDude21 : What different game franchises will be represented Lag Says: Super Mario, Donkey Kong Country, The Legend of Zelda, Kirby, Pokemon, Metroid, Earthbound, Sonic the Hedgehog, Yo-Kai Watch, Undertale / Deltarune, and several others! Those are the only ones I can generally confirm without spoiling any announcements... It should be noted I generally won't answer questions as broad as that. I prefer specifics that won't impact on announcements.- stuff like gameplay, art style or code. 9. @Master_Seth : That was a joke. What I really mean to ask is if directional air dodging will be in. So you can wave dash and wave land. Lag Says: Idk. The problem with that is you might clip into walls. If I can, I will put it in. 10. @labratslover11 : Will Sora return as a veteran fighter in your game? Lag Says: Nope. I hate that he's even in smash. There is only a very small pool of fighters (5-ish) that I hate in smash and Sora is like my number two. A 4th original Square rep, which doubles as a FF7 rep?! Only like a 1/3 of his entire series is represented bc of Disney. No.
1. Please spread the project please! 2. pika confirmm >:3 3. Studio: https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/30632618/ More Questions: 11. @dudesponge2 : Will you include any *Shovel Knight* characters Lag Says: No. I haven't played the series yet, so I don't want him in / them in. Do plan on playing in the distant future. 12. @yer_nerd : How many moves will each character have? For example, super scratch bros characters don't have the same amount of moves as characters in actual smash games, so will it be like that? Lag Says: I'd say the animation and moves would feel accurate and complex, but not too many specials. Think Crusade and Scratch but in the style I've presented before. 13. @bigguymandude : will you consider having fighting game characters? or do you think it would kind of be a waste of space or time to make extra moves Lag Says: No. Personally I haven't gotten into any fighting games outside of smash, and I've only briefly played the first few Mortal Kombats. Plus, their movesets would be pretty boring since they're just rips from their games. Similar to why I cut Doom Guy - Just not enough package and only one game to connect through. 14. @CapJSO525 : What is the estimated release date for this game? Holiday 2022? Summer 2022? 2023? Lag Says: Pfft... I'd say before the end of 2024. 15. @Toonlink12345 : will pokemon other than the ones in smash be fighting in here? fighting with something like decidueye would be nice. Lag Says: Honestly, I wanted newcomers, but similar to Yo-Kai Watch, outside of the Mascot and important sub characters, I can't put anymore than the mascots in. They just take up too many roster slots and are too specific of picks to include. So unless I change my mind, only expect Generation 1 Pokemon. Lag Says: I might change my mind if I want to have a hisuian trainer, which funnily enough I wanted to include every starter (Typhlosion, Decidueye and Dewwot) but It'd be a lot of work and the art styles would clash, so idk.
