This happens in like, every other fighting game series. It would suck to lose any of these characters but we have to be prepared for it and realize it’s not a personal matter of “X got in over Y” and rather new was prioritized over old. Smash has pampered us up to this point. But it probably...

Job 11: Little Mac (Punch-Out!!) Seems like most of us are of the mind to bring in a pull with somewhat of a retro flair. Little Mac strides the line here a bit - he got a new title in the 90s, but he's a character largely defined by his arcade and NES legacy. It's not a fighting game, but...

This doesn’t really mean anything when most stages returned in general. Most of the loose ends were older more redundant stage layouts, those complicated by obtrusive gimmicks - 3DS w Pac-Maze, Jungle Hinjinx not really jiving with Stage Morph, the verticality of Rumble Falls or Icicle Mountain...

My most wanted are Chorus Kids and Arle, with Sans and Chun-Li / Morrigan trailing somewhere close behind. So judging my most wanted characters right now, I think I'm most driven by the desire to see my favorite series acknowledged. Rhythm Heaven and Puyo Puyo have so much unique flavor to...

I'm not saying anything that hasn't already been said, but I did want to break it down a bit. :ultinkling::ultridley::ultsimon::ultkrool::ultisabelle::ultincineroar: Ultimate gave us six unique newcomers - the lowest amount on any base roster, naturally due to Everyone is Here being a priority...

Mad at the lack of my girl Morrigan 😤 This is the only way I could see a Darkstalkers character making it in, so I'd be bummed if it didn't happen. Truthfully though, I love fighting games but I'd be a little underwhelmed at an exclusive focus on any kind of game. On a personal level at least...

To go a step further with it, I think the safest bets for a "wait, there's more" reveal after the initial trailer would be a character from a previously unrepresented series. Assuming what I said before is true, that some reveals are kind of conditional based on who's revealed at a given time...

Theoretically this makes an amount of sense, or at least as the "wait there's more" reveal like Ridley, but under the obvious condition that all of Mario, Luigi and Wario are already revealed for the game. And ideally Peach and Bowser too... assuming his trailer would focus largely on the...

I think Pyra / Mythra were executed about as well as they possibly could have been, so I anticipate they'll stay this way. No disrespect to Ultimate's Pokemon Trainer, definitely a major step forward, but I think this is finally the moment Smash got the stance change / transformation mechanic...

I like this angle, it makes Bandana Dee compelling in a way that feels unique and not unbefitting to him. And it allows him to dual represent as both himself, a notable character in his own right within Kirby, and an ambassador of Waddle Dees as a collective species. I think the latter is very...

Yeah - and with attention put on Everyone Is Here instead, Zelda got the dev time equivalent of a new character with Young Link built from the ground up. Pairing that with the Link, Zelda and Ganondorf visual reworks, as well as Link's slight moveset adjustments the series got a decent amount...

Reasonably likely by virtue of the series visibility throughout the Switch era. Nowhere near a guarantee, though. Obviously the big question mark remains who that character would be. Admittedly, I'm also not that sold on any of the BOTW or TOTK characters in a vacuum. Rauru makes sense if...

My stance on FLUDD is simply that I don't love how it gels with Mario's current kit and that it doesn't act as a natural extension of the character. Mario Tornado / Galaxy Spin, or even a Cappy throw utilizes an extension of Mario's body or design. Let alone Ground Pound, one of Mario's most...

I don't think Sonic is necessarily a dead horse at this stage where he's become a genuine menace in the game capable of stalling matches. Some kind of change is entirely necessary, it's become less about character accuracy and more about the health of the game. Mind you I don't think we're...
