    Official Next Smash - Speculation & Discussion Thread

    I totally agree with the sentiment, Zelda is one of the most fruitfully represented series in literally every other area. Although I also sympathize with those who want new Zelda characters after so long, with the only trickle of a new character being a replacement for Young Link in Brawl. Who...

    MultiVersus General Discussion

    Regardless of how I feel about the addition - frankly, I don't think it's a very good choice right now but I'm not losing sleep over it - this perspective isn't really taking into account the way Multiversus' model operates differently than Smash or NASB. Exciting characters like PPG and Dexter...

    MultiVersus General Discussion

    To be fair, I don't know if it's the "priority" so much as it was easy enough to get out for launch. Powerpuff Girls are virtually confirmed and don't seem to be launch characters, so they're probably just coming within a week or two after. I don't have a lot of stake in this game personally...

    MultiVersus General Discussion

    I was thinking more in the realm of King Kong or Mojo Jojo, honestly. But I guess I wasn't thinking literally enough.

    MultiVersus General Discussion

    One way or another, it makes sense. If it's a joke character then it's an easy use of pre-existing assets since IIRC they were already a summon. If it's a prank then the same can be said, the model already exists so it wouldn't be exerting too much effort toward the bit. I'm just going to...

    MultiVersus General Discussion

    Johnny Bravo is my most wanted character (at least within reason, I don't think Larry David is happening any time soon) so I really hope that's what we're looking at here. He was alluded to as far back as one of the original text leaks, and there's been radio silence on Johnny from that point...

    In other news, hope you guys are ready for four new Animal Crossing characters!

    Outside of anyone on Gengar's list, Tingle is obviously worth a mention and I've seen Sidon pop up a decent amount.

    Official Next Smash - Speculation & Discussion Thread

    I pretty much agree with this, not that I entirely expect it but it would be justified. I feel like any number of major series right now could see two new characters if the stars align. Mario, Zelda, Animal Crossing, Splatoon, even Pokemon if they're especially compelled by someone from one...

    Official Next Smash - Speculation & Discussion Thread

    I've spoken about it before, but DK fans did not rally exclusively behind K. Rool. They wanted K. Rool or Dixie Kong - preference was slightly split, but most fans wanted both of these characters to make an appearance. I would argue the same is true for Skull Kid and Midna, characters often...

    Unpopular Smash Opinions (BE CIVIL)

    I've been thinking about this for a bit, but I believe a lot of people's critiques of Smash mischaracterization are kind of impractical and misguided. That isn't to say all of them are wrong - Olimar is still pretty weird, and hell I've got a few petty hang-ups myself with Zero Suit Samus. But...

    Official Next Smash - Speculation & Discussion Thread

    I don't know if "more workable" is the right sentiment since there's really no limitation to Arle's moveset opportunities either. Puyo Puyo is spun off of a dungeon crawler RPG series, and hence a lot of the characters still maintain a focus on magic and combat. I feel like its role as sort of...

    Official Next Smash - Speculation & Discussion Thread

    Even though I'm not really anticipating much in the realm of this outside of Smash Directs and character showcases, I want to say with the potential pivot back to drip-feeding veteran reveals leading up to release it may be beneficial to release gameplay teasers for each character. Somewhat...

    Official Next Smash - Speculation & Discussion Thread

    I think the "falling block" oriented gameplay may be best translated by an emphasis on stage traps and utilizing your projectiles as active hitboxes to bounce and combo opponents off of. I'm inspired a lot by Dedede's Gordo traps or some of K. Rool's sillier combos off his cannonball. Most of...
