Hey Mega Girl! Welcome. Roll sure is a cutie, isn't she? I think you're in the right place for finding people of an appropriate skill level. You may wish to check out Smash Discords for your favorite characters. There's one for almost every character in the game! They usually have info on that...

Human rights such as women's rights, LGBT rights and the plight of racial minorities really aren't a liberal or "leftist" thing. The "left" really doesn't own those concepts. There are black people, homosexuals and women that support centrist or even 'right wing' ideas. And human rights are...

I always liked Peach for what she was. Not in the platformers but honestly those games just have bad stories in general? There's nothing really salvageable in them. I never cared about them and I certainly don't buy them. But in Paper Mario and Mario and Luigi and even some of the 3D Marios...

When a discussion stops being about the merits of the opinions and facts therein and starts being about your right to have it, for example if free speech/political correctness/virtue signalling/whatever are invoked, something has gone very wrong. Okay, so we can agree that these are both...

Facebook strikes me as a particularly unethical company. When I was taught how to stay safe on the internet back in ...middle school? That lesson boiled down to two things: If you find yourself surrounded by sketchy individuals online, get away from them. Get off the computer if you have to...

It's noteworthy that Doppel did not have a different hair color (or eye color) prior to Puyo Puyo Quest. Noteworthy because most Quest redesigns have been dropped when returning to the main series. Like, almost every single character got a minor or major redesign in Quest and we have seen like...

Like, if they wanted to say which games she appeared in or which game she first appeared in? I don't believe simply acknowledging that the games existed like that would be a copyright issue. As far as Madou Monogatari's rights go, Sonic Team seems to own pretty much everything except the title...

You're probably right. While anonymity plus an audience (the internet) generally makes these things significantly worse, their roots are almost certainly in the real world. I know I grew up dealing with some pretty extreme misogyny around me. From gendered bullying to more physical bullying. I...

An old persona for a new age.

Thanks for the like! I was pretty proud of that post. vwv

Sexism in the community is a big issue. A big issue that is not exclusive to Smash--or even competitive video games. I'd haphazardly label it an internet thing that tends to leak into multiplayer games. Trying to get rid of it is a seemingly hopeless task. My parents knew the internet had a...

I suppose you're right. It's probably not too much to hope that she might be a spirit. DLC might be a bit much to get my hopes up for, but I'd be happy with either honestly. At this point Spirits are just recycling art from the native series right? When I think about it that way, seeing Arle...

Welp. No Arle. My hopes are low, but I'm still rooting for some amount of acknowledgment for the series.

I'm always a fan of munching on my opponents.

There is no greater injustice in the history of Smash's inclusive roster than the fact that Puyo Puyo hasn't had so much as a measly trophy in the three games Sonic Team has been in contact with the Smash Team. A series this influential in Japanese culture should have never gotten that...
