Seems like we've reached this point again. Another Smash game comes and goes. Overall, it's been a fun ride. Ultimate had a good run, and while I wouldn't say it was perfect, I certainly enjoyed seeing so many characters and stages crammed into a single game. Got a few characters I wanted, and...

At the very least, they should cycle out characters from Pokémon, FE, and XB. That's probably a large part of the reason why people complain so much about FE characters; we have a lot of them, but compared to other franchises with lots of characters, they don’t feel nearly as iconic. A lot of...

I think the next Smash game will be like the first four — heavy emphasis on new content rather than bringing back old content. We'll probably get a ton of new stages and more newcomers than Ultimate's base roster. I also think we'll see a lot of cuts, mostly from third-parties. The main reason...

Didn't get a chance to comment yesterday, but it's sort of surreal to know Ultimate doesn't have any other characters coming in the future. Sora was a decent way to end Ultimate. He's not someone I have a huge connection with or anything, but I'm glad we were able to finish with the REAL ballot...

I wouldn't beat myself too much over it. Despite what a majority of people would say, Pokémon are some of the hardest characters to support. One, because Sakurai almost never has enough time to process which Pokémon are most popular. Two, because there's almost never only one or two Pokémon that...

Don't have any strong connection to Kingdom Hearts, but I guess it's nice that they ended with a highly requested character. Ironically, the ballot meant for Smash 4 gave us a better final character in Ultimate than the former. That being said, the Disney universes are the best part of the game...

Well, this is the end. I'm not going to type out a long and sappy essay that covers the past three years (mostly because its extremely late where I am, and I'm running on fumes), but before we get our final fighter, I just wanted to say that it's been a blast speculating with everyone. Most of...

I think could end up being a very generic statement that Sakurai wanted us to remember, since this can technically be applied to any character. Still, one thing's for sure, this statement feels awfully similar to what was said before Byleth got revealed. Is Sakurai trying to lower the high...

Wanted to share one last piece of merch I got before tomorrow. Was fairly difficult to find.

Delay or not, was holding off on revealing Byleth for a random Smash presentation in January instead of TGAs really a bad decision?

Most of Woolly World's soundtrack is great. New Island's music wasn't good, but that doesn't make the rest of the great music in the series go away. It's a genuine complaint that I'd like to see them fix going forward. Yes, I get that there's far more franchises in Smash than there was back...

You say that as if the other franchises I listed don't have songs that slap. In WarioWare's case, the Ashley remix in Brawl played a huge part in her boost in popularity.

Honestly, the biggest disappointment with Ultimate's remixes isn't the remixes themselves, but rather how they were distributed between the franchises. Some are extremely lopsided compared to others. I get that the team loves certain franchises a lot, but why cram in so many Castlevania, Mega...

Sakurai shared a small hint about the final character. Masahiro Sakurai: "Even if you don't play Smash Bros, and are just interested in gaming, I'd like to invite you to watch the broadcast. You may not know the new fighter, or it might be different from your personal expectations. BUT, we hope...

Actually, Decidueye never had the promotion that most people claimed he had. He was added in Pokken, but that was probably a decision made by the development team, not a suggestion/request from TPC. Aside from that and a few minor roles in the anime... that was pretty much it at the time. Most...
