Message: [QUOTE="GamingWarthog, post: 184928, member: 447047"] Mario Kart 8's roster, especially pre Deluxe, was horrendous. A decent chunk of it was just alternate versions of other characters. The fact that the DLC on Wii U was all alts and crossover characters was just rubbing salt in. Cat Peach and Tanooki Mario, really, all the years of the franchise full of different weird characters, and that's what you came up with. Even the fucking gacha game seemed reluctant to add anything other than the plumbers and princesses in different outfits, felt like news when the new characters weren't just alts. I'm so glad Mario Kart World has remembered that this is both a Mario game and that there are Mario characters other than the plumbers and princesses. I'll take random generics I don't care about over not even a Mario character, Lime Luigi, and Baby Pauline any day. Mario Kart getting mutated into Nintendo Kart was one of my biggest fears for the next game so I'm glad that seems over with. I'm still annoyed that the likes of E Gadd, Toadsworth, and any RPG character keep getting passed over, but at least the slots are going to actually distinct Mario characters now. Also not a fan of the newcomers for Smash Bros Ultimate and its third party spam (also have had to deal with many toxic K. Rool and Ridley stans pre Ultimate), but since it's the whole series roster I can't say I dislike it as a whole. I prefer crossovers when there's an actual unifying theme that leads to creative picks, not slapping together whatever random popular characters they can get the rights to. And I'm tired of the Mario B and below listers getting a free pass in. I think Marvel vs Capcom Infinite should have just admitted to being Marvel Cinematic Universe vs Capcom instead of trying to say Wolverine was axed for not being popular enough, in the same year Logan came out. Soul Calibur V is a game I didn't get because of its roster. If you're going to do a new generation game, at least make the new generation actually distinct characters instead of having the exact same movesets. Technically my main Kilik didn't get cut, but between being turned into a mimic character and what the story did to him I can't forgive it easily. Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl was kind of a lame roster, adding the meme dad characters instead of the actual main characters with the cool stuff you watch the show for. The sequel was a bit better, but how do you go two whole Nicktoon crossover fighters without including the duo who had an entire trilogy of crossover specials? And Iroh when Azula and Zuko are already in was a bit excessive. [/QUOTE]
