Maybe if there's a smattering of deep cuts alongside a majority of the "marketed" elements like grassland stages, that'll be best. It would add variety while having enough of the "marketed" stuff to build an association.

YouTube is hosting games now? What?

The characters need at least some measure of acting like they're in a martial arts match rather than acting blissfully unaware a lot of the time. Note: "martial arts match", not "deathmatch". The former leaves room for friendly competitive spirit at least.

It's hard to say anything's inherently bad for Smash, but I'll still say that the pivot in moveset design from up-to-Brawl to Smash 4-onward really dampens my enjoyment of characters in the latter era. ---- @Oracle Link : Meh, if you consider making Ganondorf more of a sword user or bringing in...

I suppose it ties into my bigger issue of people wanting "canon, canon, canon" all the time in Smash while leaving no room for changes that better adapt something to a different environment. Again, there's nothing wrong with wanting canon references, but if it overtakes the portrayal to the...

What I said about moveset discourse earlier actually ties into a wider issue I have with Smash speculation: The idea that Smash should always reflect the source material. Now don't get me wrong, I think that aspect is important for a crossover, but things from Bandana Waddle Dee being in to...

Then they should make the multiplayer meat of the game better designed then. That's not an exclusively competitive concept.

Those old clips are literally pitched up Mario voice clips.

IDK about the whole idea of making Mario more cheerful tbh. One of the strengths of Mario is that he's versatile enough to adapt to any situation he's in, so a fighting game would be a good spot to make him more serious. OTOH, after playing the latest versions of Smash Crusade and CMC+, I think...

While it wouldn't deepen their characters by a whole lot, this is part of why I'd love to see both "special team victory animations" for VS mode (where if two compatible character comprise a team, they get a special victory animation) and to incorporate brief in-engine cutscenes for an "Arcade...
