Your encouraging words made me finally work past the lack of Paypal and make a donation :tup:
To major companies a fan made game is no different than fan art. It’s a free game so no legal trouble will came Mane6 way.
Unfortunately not every company thinks this way. The Chrono Trigger fangame got hit with the cease and desist when it was almost done and Sega did the same thing to Bomber Games who made the sublime Streets of Rage Remake. Capcom is good at not shitting on their fans with the fan material though.
Sega shit canned the Streets of Rage game due to re-releasing the original games as part of Genesis collections and downloads over PSN and XBLA. It fucking sucks that it happened but I can see how the existence of a free remake can hurt Sega’s bottomline in that regard. I’m less familiar with the Chrono Trigger stuff though.
I remember that. Sega released a iOS port of the first game right after the cease and desist. That pissed off a lot of people because honestly all that’s all they had been doing with the franchise. Funny thing about Chrono Trigger is that there multiple games that were fan projects but they got hit with the cease and desist, and it was just for SE to protect their property, even though they haven’t done much with this franchise either.
I think MLP probably is in the clear because I think the company already knows of this. I think there are even vids of people who worked on the show trying the game out for fun, so someone higher up probably is okay with it if they haven’t hit it with the C and D by now. Even if it did get stopped and can’t be at EVO, I hope everyone just remembers that it’s going for a good cause and shouldn’t feel bad even if their game doesn’t make it.
The My Little Pony guys rig every poll and charity drive they possibly can. I’m pretty sure they’ve dominated the Humble Bundles for a while now, they’ve been donating incessantly to the same cancer relief fund for over a year, and every television poll with their show on it has faced utter annihilation. Even the network that hosts the cartoon had to cut their other shows a break during their own year-end award show by removing the obvious ringer from most of the polls.
I hate to say it, but following the patterns, Fighting is Magic will dominate the competition. Get ready for an audience of fedoras and grosser cosplay.
bronie smash player detected^
it was obvious when you were being an apologist for both things. please kill yourself post 04’er trash.
I’m not the biggest Smash Bros fan but I’d like to see Smash Bros Brawl *with Smash Balls allowed. *
I think Smash Balls are part of the game and would really change up the viability of many characters. People say it makes the game random or whatever, that’s just a cop out. It’s a different style of fighter and people should embrace that, not run away from it and homogenize the game.
When the ball appears it would be a mad dash to get it, that would add some excitement to the game, especially from a spectators point of view.
To me not allowing Smash Balls, which lets player’s access their Final Smash, is like a Street Fighter 4 tournament not allowing Ultras. It’s taking away an entire game mechanic.
fedoras are so gay unless youre don draper
good to know mlp is a shoe in
We did that it 2008. It was really really good, spectators loved it. Smash community shit all over it so loud that EVO didn’t want to try again, I guess.
Yeah, or like Tournaments not allowing Gems in SFxT. Or not allowing Gouki in ST. Or something. It’s part of the game, it should be used! It has always been like that, in every game.
You high as fuck if you think allowing Smash Balls would do anything but help out Metaknight more.
Isn’t Metaknight banned at this point
Or was he unbanned again
The ban of Akuma is simply because he makes the rest of the cast useless due ow broken he is
No one does.
Played the FIM demo myself.
Game is mad good. Its like KOF, but more anime. Character designs are sick too.
Would not mind at all.
Saying that MLP doesn’t deserve it’s spot because there are games that have proven themselves is fine, an alpha should not be tournament standard.
But saying that MLP shouldn’t be there because it’s based off MLP is fucked up.
I dislike the show, okay, I kind of hate it, but I have enough friends who enjoy it to know that you can watch MLP and have no problem running up in someone’s mouth for saying smart shit. I don’t hang out with bitches.
No one is asking you to love it, just let whatever be, well…be.
The people behind it are legit busting their asses for this and you can’t respect that?
It’s further away from release than Skullgirls was at this time last year. But then the scale of the project is obviously much smaller than that of Skullgirls and the entire game is done on 2D Fighter Maker 2002. So I wouldn’t be too concern about the release date.
It doesn’t quite work like that. Smash balls don’t work quite as well with the game design as ultras. (even though ultras are pretty dumb as well. . . it’s not close to the same extent
Man, I didn’t know that. Like I said I’m not a huge Smash Bros fan, I don’t really follow the scene but I have played it with friends. It’s a fun game and I don’t like the hate that it gets.
But you totally confirmed what I was thinking. When I play with friends, a small ball appears and we all go crazy trying to get it. Even our girlfriends get into it when they see one because they know some crazy/funny/unexpected things are about to happen. I just figured what applied my my friends and family probably applied to everyone else for the most part. If you’ve got any pull on the game if it gets chosen, please pull for this. Makes the game so much more fun to watch.
I agree w/ you for the most part but not on the Akuma in ST thing. He is so overpowered compared to every other character in that game that ST would literally turn into Akuma vs Akuma. He has access to game mechanics that, not only do other characters not have, but they simply break the game. ST wouldn’t have the rich history it has if he was allowed.
Not sure how true this is, but I remember reading that his Final Smash isn’t all that great compared to some others. Also, they could always just keep him banned if it does make him even better.
Just seems strange to me that an entire mechanic is being taken out for the sake of “randomness” from what I’ve read about the game and what people online have been saying about it. Instead of embracing the elements of Smash Bros that make it unique it seems the community has tried to water the game down so it fits more in line with a traditional fighter. But, we already have traditional fighters. It’s like other MMOs trying to beat WoW by being like it. Only thing that will dethrone WoW is a game that isn’t like it.
I think the “random” element make the game more exciting. Kind of like Marvel. People hate on X Factor but there have been some damn hype matches because of the mechanic. Maybe marvel is a little random (i personally don’t think it really is) but that helps create unexpected results and I think its part of the reason people love watching it.
