Finding out the Smash Ultimate team literally balanced fighters around online usage data is INCREDIBLY eye-opening and explains a lot about that game's balance.

Piggybacking off of this, Melee Mario is honestly my favorite depiction of Mario not only in Smash, but maybe even ever. He's determined, yes, but still chipper and expressive as always. Compare to Brawl-and-beyond Mario where he's just kind of angry all the time. Not anywhere near as appealing...

As far as fighting games, mainly Tekken 7 and Blazblue Central Fiction. Admittedly, I haven't played either in a while and neither have as many fighters as Ultimate, but T7 pushes 60 characters and doesn't even have an agreed-upon tier list nine years in. Speaking from experience back when I...

This is why I tend to prefer games with more condensed casts, but also I have played games with large rosters that are leagues more balanced than Ultimate, which leads me to believe just having a lot of characters isn't an excuse. In the case of Ultimate, it feels like there wasn't really an...

To be fair, slapping Intimidate on a mon with otherwise middling stats will do that. Incineroar was made in a time when Game Freak were pretty obviously playing favorites with the starters, and they absolutely knew what they were doing giving him that. (Thankfully, they seem to have broken that...

Dead horse convos about DLC and playercounts aside, I think we can all agree that the best thing about this game existing is this video of five dudes voice RPing SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, Mr. Krabs, and Plankton while playing them in NASB2.

I think that was mentioned, or at least implied with the "Krabs got a trailer weeks ahead of time" thing.

I'd be more willing to entertain this take if Nintendo's own preservation practices weren't infamously terrible. The amount of Nintendo games featured in Smash alone that you can't legally play unless you own them on their original hardware is kinda hilarious, especially if you count Spirit...

Zuko looks neat, but oh no he's a slow, short-ranged lightweight. I can't imagine I'll play him much because of that; slow neutral isn't my thing, and if my character can't zone or approach, I usually drop them and play someone else. (I recognize the irony of this considering I played G&W in...

With all due respect, I don't think "lazy" is at all the right word for this idea. A rotating cast does not mean less characters, it's just a way of deciding which characters the devs put in. Personally, I think rotating casts in fighting games are super cool and would be down to see them here...

Thank God, they fixed the GIR issues on PC and console. After all this, I can finally say Zim feels like a functional character. It only took three months, but we sure did get there!
