SEPHIROTH CHALLENGE
| Goddamn that's badass!
Kinda wish I had a switch now.
| Now, is that great from a, like, fairness standpoint? That people who own the DLC before the character is fully released can unlock him 4 days befot he's officially out?
No.
But is it really fucking cool? Yes. Yes, yes, yes.
FFVII style game screen for a limited time boss fight against one of gamings most well known villains, is fucking sick.

It is! It's, like, damn. Sakurai goes hard sometimes, and this is one of those times. Coding in a new mode and making some really fucking sick art for something that's only in the game for a couple days, is badass. Especially when it's made as a way to "prove yourself" to see if you're worthy of playing one of gamings most powerful villains before anyone else.
Apparently they were going to make it so that if you lost you weren't worthy and couldn't play the event again.
| They scrapped that though, to make it more accessible. But just the fact that Sakurai wanted to make unlocking this character early a flex by directly challenging players to either win on "very hard" difficult or have to wait 5 days, like, shit. I wish he got it his way, but, companies do be companies.
| >>724225 How is it unfair and to who is unfair? This DLC should have released long time ago but due to pandemic this and every other fighter has been delayed, pre-releasing it to already owners is a way to compensate those who bought the whole fighter pass 2 thinking by this time there would be 4 or 5 characters instead of 3.
People who didn't purchase it aren't afected by this idea because they didn't put money to begin with unlike those who did purchase it.

My man, what you're describing there is just purchasing of DLC or not. That's not what I'm talking about.
I'm talking about the concept of having to beat a special boss fight to be able to play him early.
Turns out they made the lowest difficulty, just, basically guaranteed that you can't lose. But still though.
| >>724325 But again why is it unfair for you?
Very hard mode isn't that hard, it's just CPU 9, took me less than 10 tries with Young Link. If it were that he had 999 VP and you 200VP it would be more challenging (I'm making a ruleset just for that lol)
It's not mandatory and it is a temporary reward, more like an special event, Are you saying it's unfair to play to unlock characters? Because Ultimate was built around that though lol
| >>724336
I'm not saying that, but you're very clearly just gonna twist everything I say into something to tear into even though it's not what I said, so, I'm done entertaining you. Sorry.
| >>724339 You are not saying anything that's why I'm asking you, I'm just trying to guess what might be unfair to you from>>724225, don't fell attacked or that I'm twisting your words, just want to know why would someone consider it unfair.
| >>724345
Response went wrong lol, but what Im saying it's that from >>724225 and>>724325 I can't guess why it is unfair. That's it.
| >>724345 >>724346
I did explain it...
I explained that the concept of it is sort of unfair in a way, but that the execution of it wasn't.
Is that simple enough for you?
| -OP
| >>724628
All good, all good. Just important to not punish people after they've been good, you know? Kinda counterintuitive.
| Beat the fucker in under 5 seconds with Chromicide lol
| >>724856
Yeah... that's kinda boring though. I've done Chromicide so much that I just feel empty now.

| Bro, so, okay.
Sephiroth in Smash. It's sick. Do I love what Nintendo's been doing lately? No. But I love this one thing, a lot.
The character is releasing December 22nd, but in exactly 10 minutes they're releasing a special event for people who own the DLC where they can fight him as a boss, and if they win they unlock him immediately.
