Yeah, it isn’t the same - I imagine Master Chief’s role in a mascot brawl is less a competitive one between rivals but rather built on mutual respect. Hence why I said Master Chief shaking Mario’s hand, not punching Mario’s face in. Mario and Sonic are hot blooded rivals, but Chief being so...

Well maybe you can enlighten us on what "the smash community seems to attract a lot of people who aren’t Nintendo fans" implies? Sounded to me like a very snarky response about a character you have demonstrated irrational bias against in the past. I don't feel like arguing much about this...

You implied the equivalent of "people aren't Nintendo fans if they want [x character]". As if people can't enjoy games from more than one platform or developer. It's an irrational argument that needs no counterpoint and should be treated as such.

It is and always will be kind of funny the way the community contextualizes "spinoff" to immediately mean unimportant. It's one thing to suggest a character who is prominent in both the main series and spinoffs may take precedent - Bowser Jr over Waluigi, for example, makes sense. But being...

On a personal level, I grew up around friends who played Xbox. I was a Nintendo kid through and through, but going to friends' houses was the way I would get exposed to whatever else was out there. Halo was a consistent presence and one I grew to appreciate, and just become very familiar with...

Admittedly, I was of this mind at the time lmao. Isaac has grown on me a lot, and I have no qualms listing him among the most popular first parties now, but I do still believe there was a pretty stark fall-off in huge, inescapable community requests after Ridley / K. Rool. Those felt like the...

My pick is one of Chun-Li’s street market stages, but this would be a great choice also. Honestly most viable choices would be more exciting than Suzaku Castle… I get why they went with that one, but it’s not a favorite of mine. After the KOF stage was able to fit in so many nods to its own...

To piggyback off that, bringing back Pac-Maze back is a must. I’ve said it several times before but it really feels like Pac-Man is missing his home without it. By now it should be an unshakable series staple. The rest of the third party stages… it does at least feel like we have the most...

I think Viridi has plenty of potential to work with that would justify an original moveset - plant-based attacks, roots, thorns and vines sprouting up from the stage. She leads a legion of enemies that would especially make for a good summoner-oriented kit. Her staff can operate like a blunt...

I don't think this is realistic. Third parties are prime DLC material regardless, so even if some of these negotiations are made / begin early I think several of them will just be more efficient for both parties to sell later. There are still plenty of first party characters worth adding and...

I really hope they shoot for Wondaria, it's a real standout level and still early enough in the game where most people would probably be familiar with it. I wouldn't really mind Downtown Grassland either since the vine-coated skyscrapers and whatnot are still very striking imagery, but an...

Genuine question, which enemies would you have swapped out / swapped in instead? There are a couple really specific ones in Smash Run, like Plasma Wisp and TAC, but a lot of them are just the standard (Waddle Dee, Doo, Gordo, Bronto Burt... etc). There are certainly new ones that could have...

I'm uncertain how well a move like that would read as a simple aerial, but it's a very cute idea. In general I like the idea of emphasizing Isabelle's job a little bit more, using office materials and such, since that's also in tune with Sakurai's initial proposal for the character as seen in...

Point taken regarding Kirby's odd status, but I'm trying to come up with an earnest second answer to the question. I really can't think of much. At least Kirby did see some music added from the newer games, but every other series has seen more meaningful growth via character / costume...
