Butters Stotch

Hi everyone, another announcement to make. Hope you're all well. Not near the end of the year as intended, but whatever.

I know, I've already retired from this board, with initial plans to return near the end of the year, but now, with how I feel and the way things have gone since then, that's no longer the case and I intend on leaving for good. Sorry guys.

I know I'm essentially reinstating what I said months ago and apologies for that, but honestly, with where I am at the moment, I'm more than ready to move onto the next stage of my life, so I can't really make time for this site anymore (or in the near future to be more precise), not to mention that I've been losing interest in eventually returning since my last post.

Just to let you all know, while things actually took somewhat of a turn for the worse in May (I won't specify how), things have drastically improved since then and April, so there aren't any major issues affecting me, at least as of writing, so no need to worry.

Regardless of my initial leave, I've really enjoyed being here (in spite of my poorly chosen username, heh). Met many great people here and in general, I just like having a place to freely discuss Smash and beyond. Unfortunately, this is farewell and for good this time.

Take good care of yourselves, peace out.

Before I go again, I'm gonna add to the rosters below by doing stage lists for each one. A lot of the ideas here are from modders, the SSF2 team, and users from Reddit, DA, and here, so shoutouts to everyone included. (OUTDATED)

This isn't a return or anything - though that may change sometime in the future - but since I redid my "if I were Sakurai" rosters from this thread recently as a quick time killer, I thought I'd post them here.

After thinking about it for a while, unless I log back in one day, I’m officially retiring from this board. I’ve only been here for under a year, but the reason I’m quitting relates to stuff going on in my life right now. It was nice knowing you all. Have a good one, guys!

I probably shouldn't be mentioning this right now and may delete this message later on, but I'm really scared of what's going on in the world at the moment and am fearing for those affected, as well as what could potentially happen next. My heart goes out to everyone that's been impacted by this.

I don’t really pay attention to the sort of stuff most of the time, but doesn’t the Bandai Namco website say something about remastering a “3D action game” made by Nintendo? Just curious.

Listening to this makes me want Shadow in even more.

Everyone probably knows this already, but...

's theme is one of the most underrated in the series imo. I wish the stage was available in local play.

Out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on guests appearing in Mario Kart? Personally, I don't mind them and there are some additions I'd like to see, but I'd rather have them be kept to a minimum to avoid taking away from the Mario-centric cast or leading to "Nintendo Kart".

If you remember this video, you get a veterans bonus.

Anyone else gonna watch The Batman?

Thank you for the follow!

I may retire from this board at some point in the future. I've been using it less and less over time and my interest is dwindling slightly.

However, whenever I make that decision, I will update my status one final time to give you all a heads up.

I know he’s a Nintendo owned property and there were Dixie and K. Rool trophies, but the absence of Diddy Kong in Melee, playable or not, is quite suspicious and makes me wonder if there was more than meets the eye with what was going on behind the scenes.

With the DKC songs and trophies present, it makes me wonder if the Rare buyout was even a factor in this or not.

Aside from Mega Man, are there any other series that the “Sonic Generations” treatment could work well with?

Remember the Smash 2 poll and how Wario and Peach were one vote apart? If the results were the other way around, could Wario have gotten into Melee with a Land moveset, followed by Peach getting into Brawl with a SPP moveset?

Okay, maybe things would've gone as is like in this timeline, but still.

I know this is a forum for discussions and stuff, but one time, I actually attempted to write up a theory on Kirby 64's Shiver Star, though I never finished it.

From what I remember, I think I posited that the "apocalypse" or whatever event turned Earth into a frozen wasteland took place between 1989 and 1998 because of the appearance of a Game Boy in one game, rather than a GBC or later handheld, and the 90s looking phones and TVs. I also explained the presence of robots and advanced technology by theorizing that a third World War took place years earlier, as the first two led to many technological advancements being made.

Suffice to say that it was a pretty wild, but at the same time, fun theory.

Bowser's Inside Story just turned 13. I'm too old.

I only discovered this when looking for the game's OST online.

"It's more important that a character is fun to play, not just recognisable."

Not trying to be disrespectful or salty, but am I the only one who genuinely disagrees with this ideology? I mean, I touched upon this briefly in the unpopular opinions thread, but literally anyone can have a fun, interesting moveset. Look at R.O.B. and Wii Fit Trainer!

This song had no right to be this good.

Is it bad that Magikarp is genuinely my favorite Pokémon? I don’t know why it is, I can’t tell if it’s the memes or something else entirely.

I don't like the Alvin movies, but...

Am I the only one here that REALLY wants Toad to get in? He isn't my most wanted character, but I feel that he's important enough to warrant a slot and I'd go as far as to say he's overdue for one.

Celebrating another birthday today!

Rewatched some old Hotel Mario and Zelda YTPs after many years. God did the nostalgia hit hard.

Cool looking Profile Picture!

Thanks for the follow!

Thanks for following!

I'm thinking of posting a thread going over a hypothetical "cartoon Smash Bros" series with the games' original release years in mind. Here's the current version of the first game's (with a slightly higher budget for licensing and just how ambitious it is) roster:
1. Mickey
2. Bugs
3. Leonardo (TMNT)
4. Homer Simpson
5. Beavis & Butthead
6. Arthur
7. Hank Hill
8. SpongeBob (to promote the launch of his show)

9. Scrooge McDuck
10. Fred Flintstone (or Shaggy)
11. Bart Simpson
12. Ren & Stimpy (originally Cartman, but I can't picture him in future games)

Feel free to make suggestions for future additions (I'll probably cover all five Smash games) or critique my choices, as, with how many cartoons are out there, I may be missing someone important.

Since I've mentioned the idea of Mega Man X in Smash a few times on this site, had he made it into Melee or Brawl, could Mega Man 9 and 10 have been scrapped in favor of X9 and 10? After all, X was pushed by Capcom more so than classic Mega Man throughout the 90s and 2000s. This could've spelt doom for the classic series and it may not have resurfaced until its next entry in 2018.

As for what the games would be like, as MM9 and 10 were based on the NES games, X9 and 10 would likely take inspiration from the SNES trilogy. Speaking from a plot based point of view, one or both of them could be tied to the Elf Wars and serve as a clearer transition into the Zero and ZX series.

Just a fun "what-if" scenario to think about.

This is kind of a stretch, but a part of me thinks that The Great Tower of Bowser Land was inspired by Back to the Future 2. Again, a stretch, but one I felt like bringing it up.

Whether another Mario Kart game is happening or not, I really hope it isn't Nintendo Kart. I'm fine with a few guests (hell, Sonic, despite not being a Nintendo character, would be really cool), but I don't want a full rebrand of the series.

Has anyone heard about the Smash Ultimate Special Edition rumor? Just curious.

Hey Butters!
Are you interested in new thread based on "SUPER SMASH BROS. ULTIMATE PLUS" by Perkilator?
If you are, you can click into that link below.

Why do I want these two in Smash so badly when I know they're fourth parties and will never get in? Maybe my love of Regular Show is getting to me, but that still doesn't make them less unlikely.

Heyo Butters!
How you doin?

None of my recent postings are loading on my profile. Has this happened to anyone else? They’ve appeared on threads I’ve been active on, but not on my profile for some reason.

Was gonna rebrand my account, but I found out you have to purchase SmashBoards Premium to do that. I may stick with this account or abandon it. The new profile picture I had in mind didn't fit with my current account name.

Heyo dude!
