you're what, 4 or 5 days in? give it time, they'll grow on you (assuming you also liked the original, that is)

I feel like super bosses also dont have to be these big story relevant things either, having a superboss that is just a surprising character appearance, with minor story behind it, is okay in my book

as long as its cool, fun, and enjoyable, i dont really care

And hey, they have a whole knew(ish) group of baddies potentially to work with, perfect way to segwey in some classic ff villains as bad guys

ardyn super boss, zenos super boss

That's why I liked Julian in 3D

yup hes pretty cool

a bit wonky to fight, but fun nonetheless

the way i interpret it is "kh was never meant as a crossover game ala smash bros. rather, it was designed as a world where all of these various properties are already integrated parts, without the need for some ham-fisted explanation for why certain people are there"
because of that, it makes sense to include ff characters and disney characters wherever, but it also means they don't have to be there if it's not necessary. contrast that with "mario was summoned here through an interdimensional wormhole (in the form of a warp pipe, lol) to kick sora's ass, and he'll go right back where he came from after the fight and the story will be completely unaffected"

ignore the fact that this could happen now due to smash

i think you are correct

I still dont think the excuse of saying 'we have too many original characters" works in this scenario though

I mean, at least it isn't Brawl levels of stupid, where they actually tried to cobble together a plot for all these characters coming together and

Sonic ultimately saving the day out of nowhere for God knows why

 

because the best way to resolve that, is to stop making original characters or, focus on a smaller group of them

do we really need 4 trios?

you're right: that was much more awesome

okay brawl is cool you take that back

Cool compared to what? The surface of the sun?

that story was, ironically, written by one of the writers of KH1-2

subspace was pretty cool at the time

didn't really matter if it made sense or not haha

but seeing Fox go through a DK level was legit

subspace is basically a smash bros movie with its set up

I mean yeah there's a certain novelty to it I guess

Well put👏

Subspace is awesome and I will take no slander

i didn't come to subspace emissary looking for a cohesive story, so i'm not gonna try to fault it for that, but what i got was still appreciated regardless

I would have rather gotten nothing, personally

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, if you try to analyze it, it really dumb. But if you turn your brain off and just see mario and link working together, it's pretty cool

We get samus saving best boy pikachu

EXACTLY

we get falco having tea with solid snake

It is cool from that perspective, but here's how I see it. If I want story, I'm going to play a story-based game. I don't need a wacky crossover fighting game to feed a narrative I feel obligated to experience because it takes up a large part of the game.
