L IS REAL LET'S GOOOOO

(no you are not getting context)

I call this entry "The Prophecy"

i just had a big brain idea

what if the next smash axed ryu/ken/terry/kazuya's 1-on-1 facing gimmick in favor of adding a dedicated strafing button for all characters

Oh yeah, forgot to mention something during my SFVI post - I'm not really a fan of this new, more realistic art style they're using. It's not a dealbreaker for me, and it doesn't look bad, but I don't vibe with it at all. Street Fighter has always been a more stylized series, so this new realism feels off to me.

also i guess i should give my thoughts on street fighter vi

• imo luke's design is a huge improvement over his sfv appearance
• conversely, i'm impartial on ryu's new look; the beard's nice and makes sense but i'm already missing his gi. also sandals are a weird choice since i thought ryu didn't like shoes
• PLEASE let that logo be a placeholder it is perhaps the most cookie-cutter garbage they could have gone with

til toby fox was, at one point, a competitive melee player (his tag is radiation)

current mood

this meme was a prophet in the worst possible way

took a break from profile posts yesterday; feelin refreshed and ready for more unfunny jokes

(seriously though i had like nothing to talk about yesterday lol)

i’mma wrap tonight up with a hot take

sonic cd’s japanese game over music is, in some ways, creepier than the usa music to me. maybe because distorted versions of usually happy, upbeat music always give me the willies (i have the same problem with sm64’s game over music)

aight gnight

til the mario teaches typing 2 ost isn't just midis of smw music

step 1: get bored
step 2: browse the internet for funsies
step 3: stumble upon your old awful fnaf fangames
step 4: regret

nickelodeon don't make a new spongebob project just to raise paramount+ subscriptions for five seconds challenge (impossible)

i just realized that i've had the same minecraft pfp for the past year yet i don't think i've ever mentioned minecraft once anywhere on this site aside from that one creeper moveset i made

i know i’ve been uncharacteristically serious/negative today so i wanna talk about something that makes me smile

the fact that a song from the dkc cartoon has an absolutely banging cover that can be put on streaming platforms like spotify makes me have faith in this world

While the eShop shutting down is perfectly predictable and not a dumb Nintendo move on its own, the dumb part comes when you realize that the only legal way to play classic games on modern hardware is now to buy Switch Online.

2022’s really shaping up to be the year Nintendo screws their fans over royally huh

The new Chip n' Dale just feels like a spiritual successor to Who Framed Roger Rabbit and I kinda wish they just did that instead

Earlier today, I was looking through Reddit and I stumbled upon a Smash subreddit in which someone was making a series of posts going into-depth about how every character in Ultimate was poorly designed in some way. (I won't be going into any further details than that, since I don't want to encourage witch-hunting.)

There was some stuff I agreed with and some that I didn't, but one particular idea that I kept seeing the user bring up fell so much into the latter category that I wanted to talk about it.

I kept seeing an argument for characters having more HUD-based specials and mechanics (Mario having a HUD-based Neutral Special for various power-ups and Villager having an inventory-based HUD, for example). I have to say, I hard disagree with giving more characters HUDs and similar gimmicks just for the sake of adding more references.

The reason Mario only having one Neutral Special projectile works is because he's designed to be a character meant to introduce newcomers to the gameplay of Smash. Once you give him a HUD which allows him to switch between power-ups, you strip that crucial element of his design away and take one easy-to-use character off the board (which is especially bad for Mario, since he's the character most Smash newbies will probably recognize first).

I'm all for adding in references to characters' movesets, but I am simply not a fan of further complicating characters just for the sake of that (heck, I think some characters in Ultimate suffer from this now, but that's another story). It feels like having references for the sake of references without giving regard to character design, archetypes, or cohesion.

With this status in particular, I wanna hear people's thoughts on this. Whether you agree or disagree with your points, it could be interesting to see how folks see this issue.

i have opened my third eye and realized that Maple Treeway is a pun on the word “freeway”

Happy Valentine’s Day, Smashboards!

More importantly, happy 8th anniversary to Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze

Anyone remember Polar Bowler? It was this bowling game where you sent a sled-riding bear down the alley. Here's a video of it.
I just randomly remembered it today; It was such a fun game.

sometimes i think of starting my own creation thread but then i remember i completely forget to contribute to the ones i join for days on end

Welcome to the Freddy Fazbear moveset. After 14 hours in development, hopefully it'll have been worth the wait.

I just had to invent the term "Freddle'd" for this moveset it better be worth it

yknow what

freddy time

moveset coming soon

King K. Rool has one of the best moveset designs in Smash history.

That's it. That's the status.

fun fact: you can buy every episode of the adventures of super mario bros. 3 on steam for $18 (in america at least, it's probably region-locked)

the craziest thing is that the publishers of the series on steam specifically also have rwby and red vs blue on the platform as well

I finally get my new hard drive back today only to learn that the majority of stuff I backed up off my old one got corrupted.

coping + seething + malding

You remember how I joked about making a Freddy Fazbear moveset a while ago?

I might actually do that now - I think I’ve come up with an interesting way to present the idea of FNaF’s animatronics in a fun moveset (I feel like their kit should focus on pressure, since having to manage your tools to ward them off is a big part of FNaF gameplay, essentially putting your opponent in the role of a security guard).

haha funny donkey kong

wario cubed made a wise choice yesterday

Hey fellas should my daily profile post tomorrow be something with thought put behind it or haha funny donkey kong

Okay, time for my genuine Direct thoughts (i skipped over anything i really didn't have anything to say about)

(genuine direct thoughts later i wanna go have dinner lol)

alright smashboards, who's ready for tomorrow's reveal of challenger pack 12 and among us 2

behold the rare serious fazdude status

My computer's been having some battery issues as of late (it can now only go two hours off a full charge as opposed to 5-6 from a few days ago), and I've been thinking of refreshing my Windows 10, since I heard that can resolve the issue. If you've done something like this, can you confirm if this would help my battery problem?

what you know about trolling down in the deep

who wants to join my new creation thread: you're only allowed to make movesets for freddy fazbear
