Nazna would you stop crying already. I'm not attacking the Roster, I'm just saying I and many others were expecting more characters. I am familiar with Smash, I own and have completed both of the first two in their entirety. Stop attacking anyone who says they were expecting more. Everyone had high hopes for the roster's final number so its only natural people would be somewhat offset by the final number, but no one is attacking the roster as it stands or is saying it sucks. Get off your soap box and put down the pitch fork. You're making a fuss over something that doesn't warrent this drama. People have the right to say, "Well I was expecting more but this is perfectly fine..." Without being attacked by individuals like yourself who can't stand the implied criticism of such a game no matter how benign. People aren't dissing this game, people aren't being ignorant, people here are merely sharing their expectations for the game that whether met or not don't necessaraly reflect negatively on their opinion of the game. You're just being elitist in trying to assert that your satisfaction with the roster as not only the standard but what should have been expected and if they didn't, well then they're obviously ignorant of Smash Bros. and not True Fans. When Character's like Wolf are included, there is no ground to claim we were naive to expect Krystal. When Character's like Diddy Kong are included, there is no ground to claim we were naive to expect Midna. When Character's like R.O.B. the robot are included, there is no ground to claim we were naive to expect Captain N. When Character's like Kid Icarus are included, there is no ground to claim we were naive to expect Mach Rider. When Character's like Snake and Sonic are included and the possibility of a third 3rd party character is mentioned, there is no ground to claim we were naive for expecting Megaman. While there are endless individuals out there with asinine hopes and unrealistic predictions for characters in this game (just search google images for "brawl roster") its not justified for you to lump anyone with the slightest reservation of the Roster as it stands into that same group and hold us all in the same contempt. |
I don't think it was naive to expect that many characters. I think it was unrealistic. I expected more or less the amount of characters that we got. Honestly, do you remember how excited you were (or should have been) when the first brawl trailer revealed Pit, Meta Knight, Wario, Zero Suit Samus, and SNAKE? It's very unrealistic to expect a larger roster, and I think you were in the minority in believing so. The reason Naz is so peeved at you is because, well, you're WHINING. Whining and complaining gets old. It would be like buying a kid a Wii and PS3, then he complains because he didn't get an Xbox 360.
Also, none of your character parables are really good examples. Diddy is not comparable to Midna at all. Biggest character besides Donkey Kong in the DK franchise vs. A side character from the most recent Zelda game, for example, and Wolf is the main villain of Starfox, hence the obviousness of his inclusion. All in all, you're whining about a game that has personally expected any reasonable expectations anybody could have had for it.
