I actually think Little Mac will be a high learning curve character. I was expecting him to be one of the easiest to learn, but I actually wasn't doing very well with him at all in the demo. Learning how to deal with enemies without getting into the air much is gonna be something Little Mac players will have to learn to do.
But yeah, I expect Mega Man to have a pretty big learning curve. I expect a lot of the newcomers to, honestly. Especially Shulk and Robin.
Hmm, Little Mac might... but every time I used him, I found it to be a pretty easy win. Of course, how easy Little Mac is to use really depends on the stage; on FD and other flat stages he'll be a beast, but stages that require a lot of jumping and air time will really handicap him.
Thanks for your input. I hope to get around to all of them eventually.
No problem! Hope you enjoy them; they're fantastic games. Let me know if you have any more questions!
Honestly, I think it's quite possible that Mega Man will be cut next time around. Sonic and Pac Man will probably stay, due to SEGA and Namco Bandai's good relations with Nintendo, but Capcom doesn't really have that.
Sure, it's always possible, but I think Capcom and Nintendo have better relations than you might be giving them credit for. Nintendo's running a Capcom sale on the eShops right now, Capcom is easily the third-party with the most games on the Virtual Console (Wii U at least), Capcom is the only third-party to get (two so far!) StreetPass puzzle panels dedicated to their games/franchises (
Mega Man and
Monster Hunter 4), and with the way Mega Man has been constantly featured on the eShops as an honorary "Nintendo character" and how his many Virtual Console releases have all been treated as major events by both Nintendo and Capcom (even going so far as to have two entire months dedicated to Mega Man VC releases), it's honestly like Nintendo has once again become Mega Man's second unofficial home. With how heavily Nintendo is promoting him as one of "their" brand characters, I don't think seeing him come back for Smash 5 is out of the question at all.
