Thank you so much all of you. It really means a lot to me that you are really looking forward to what I have to say. It really, really took me a lot of effort to get this last specific essay pertaining to the closure of the Dixie Kong thread out. I am truly touched that my words really mean a...

This is my first time ever posting in the second iteration of the Ultimate Newcomer/DLC discussion thread. I have basically been in the background for speculation in regards to Pass 2. Of my predictions, they were mostly wrong, with the only two possibilities I had ended up happening being Steve...

This is now the end of the road as far as character support goes for Ultimate. This is my penultimate post for this thread. For old time's sake, I am going to respond to to a few posts made during the last two pages in this thread. There is quite a bit to say so please brace yourselves. I also...

Here it is. My revised Dixie Kong support essay, something I had written two years ago. I promised this months ago, and I finally finished it. Half of it is content from the essay written from two years ago. It is remarkable to think how much time has gone by. It was a bit emotional putting it...

By the way, for those who are curious are curious about my input as to whom the final fighter for Ultimate will be, I did put out a massive analysis a few days ago on just that topic...

We are now in the twilight period for speculation for Ultimate. The identity to the final newcomer for Ultimate is likely only weeks away. This character could be unveiled anywhere from at some point this month to the first week of December (to coincide with the third anniversary of Ultimate’s...

I have wanted to give my thoughts on the announcements and unveils that occurred at E3 for a while. It took me nearly three weeks to write this response. There are many different topics that I touch upon and express my thoughts and ideas for. I have not done a post like this in half a year, so...

Considering that, , I want to use this late hour to help prepare for the scenario that many of us would not like to see, namely that Dixie Kong will not make an appearance in the new DK title that is rumored to be unveiled later today. If that is the case, then Dixie is definitely not going to...

Music to listen to while reading this: We are now just a few days away from the penultimate character unveil for Ultimate, and possibly the last one as well. My last post I made on this site was over three months ago as well. I feel we are pretty much drawing near the end now. This place has...

With the unveil and presentation of Pyrra and Mythra, there is quite a bit now to think about. Much like Sephiroth, this pair were not characters I considered to be possibilities for Fighters Pass Vol 2. My thinking was that if a Xenoblade character was going to happen, it was Elma that was the...

As I said in the past, I have returned to comment on the new character unveil that has happened (as well as a bunch of posts that caught my interest over the course of this month). Pyrra and Mytha are yet another character that I did not see coming. Congratulations to Xenoblade fans on this...

Note: When I am talking about "fake fans" in this post I am referring to "bandwagoners" within particular Smash fanbases (usually ones that end up being very large). The kind of supporters that will act highly passionate about a particular character despite having little personal history with...

I want to submit one more post before the end of this year. In 2020, we learned the identity to another four newcomers for Ultimate. Half of them (Byleth and Steve) were characters that I thought had decent prospects, and the other half (Min Min and Sephiroth) were character possibilities I did...

Sephiroth being Fighter #78 was very unexpected to me for several reasons. For one, I was very confident that Square-Enix's second DLC newcomer was going to be Geno (Geno was the one character to which I was the most confident in regards to being a part of Pass 2). Secondly, Sephiroth is the...

I am not a Krystal supporter, but I think I have a few important things to say here. First off, I think Krystal making it in as an Assist Trophy was an impressive victory for the character. She had no notable consolation prize in Brawl or Smash 4 despite her source material titles being far more...
