Well, there’s a huge glaring prevalence of ordinary names that I’m seeing. It’s nothing like in other games I’ve been playing online, like Splatoon 2.

I’m still exploring this game’s online tourneys. After playing them several times, something really stands out… All the other players are using real first names as their screen names. Names like John, Arianna, Evan…. None of these look like nicknames or creative usernames I would expect. Now I’m...

… … Er… If you’d read my previous post, what I called random/arbitrary was NOT that Banjo Kazooie was added — what baffles me is WHY people requested the character so much. … I’m sorry I’m not super excited, but while I grew up with the NES, SNES, and N64, Banjo Kazooie was never a part of my...

I’ve never cared about Banjo Kazooie. I stayed away from the game because collect-a-thon games really bore me. … Seeing that the character will be in Smash due to such high demand confuses me. It confuses me as much as when people started clamouring to get Betty White to host Saturday Night Live...

I put a lot of time into Dissidia Final Fantasy several years ago. I still play it once in a blue moon. If that game doesn’t count, then maybe my favorite fighting game was one of the Sailor Moon Super Nintenedo games. (I’m not big on fighting games.)

I’ve regularly used Peach since Melee. Super Mario Bros. 2 was the first game I remember ever playing, also the first game I’ve beaten on my own. There were four characters to play as, but I would always —always— play as the Princess for her cool floating ability. … At least I’d like to keep...

Metal Gear Solid — The Boss Sonic — Tails Pac-Man — Ms. Pac-Man Final Fantasy — Prishe … The rest of the third parties I’m just not familiar with.

I got Brawl the day it came out and loved every bit of it. (But… I can’t believe it’s actually over a decade old. Where does the time go?) I found it funny when people started mucking around online — doing nothing but wait for somebody to attack first, then gang up on that instigator. It seems...

Team battles are a lot better than 1-on-1 battles. It’s so irritating how hard it is to assemble a team battle online when so many people keep opting for 1-on-1….

Super Smash Bros. is a very fast-paced game. It puts you in a situation where you need to constantly think about what manoeuvres to perform next in order to stay alive. It stimulates your senses, making your adrenal glands produce adrenaline. You need adrenaline to give you energy during...

Peach’s taunts seem way too short. They’re animated way too quickly. Her down taunt doesn’t have her do a little twirl anymore, which looks really dull. And her Toad bodyguard — I preferred seeing Peach take out Toad and hold him up as a shield. That was always amusing. It’s not as fun anymore...

I played online for the first time last night. I’m okay with the quickplay function for the most part — I’m not picky about rules other people prefer. Honestly, the only thing that really gets on my nerves is not being able to change characters between battles, unless you want to leave the group...

I finished EarthBound about a week ago. Honestly, nothing about it resonated with me and I don’t get why people like it so much. The story didn’t make much sense, and I’m not in the mood to ponder what kind of avant garde meaning it had. The battle system was bare-bones functional. It was okay...

I liked the way Pit played in Brawl. In the 3DS/Wii U iteration, his moves were altered a lot, which annoyed me. Moreover, Dark Pit was a newcomer, but he played the same way as regular Pit. I don’t get why. Why couldn’t we have one of them keep the move set from Brawl instead of have two of...
