    Super Smash Bros. Most Wanted First Party Unique Newcomer Tournament - ROUND 2 VOTING EXTENDED TO 11/6 AT 12PM ET

    Giving this a needed bump. Also, you won't have to fear a double post when providing the results. My personal picks for these matchups:

    Smash Bros. Most Wanted First-Party Unique Newcomer Tournament - Round 1 VOTING OPEN - ENDS 10/23 AT 12PM ET

    The preliminary round was a great idea! I'm sorry that I missed it, as its results are pretty interesting. I'm quite pleased to see who is in the number one spot. Let's keep it that way. ;) Round One matchups usually aren't that close, but we've got some good ones going here! I love seeing some...

    Sunrise, Sunset - Isaac for Smash Ultimate #GoldenSunday

    Ahh, just saw earlier today that the threads are about to close. Looks like I made it just in time for a final visit. Crazy how long this game's speculation cycle has lasted. Ultimate gave us some pretty amazing characters, but after Sephiroth's great trailer, I admittedly found myself rapidly...

    Yeah, sounds good! It will definitely be interesting to see what happens with these last two characters. FYI I don't think Elma is likely at all either, I was just basing that on terms of popularity. Excluding a generic Square-Enix thread, she has the sixth largest thread on the Newcomer...

    Alright, so I’ve had a chance to look at this! A few general thoughts, and then I’ll have some more specific suggestions. One worry I do have is that the Echo Bracket is going to be interpreted as less desirable than the Unique First-Party Bracket. That’s not a big deal for smaller characters...

    Hey, sorry I never got back to you on this! I didn't mean to ignore you, I've just had quite a bit going on and I'm not too active on the boards at the moment. I would be interested in seeing what you have, but I don't have access! I'll let you know what I think when I'm able to get in.

    Sunrise, Sunset - Isaac for Smash Ultimate #GoldenSunday

    Well... Other than Sakurai and the Takahashi brothers coming on screen to jointly tell us that Golden Sun sucks and we'll never see it again, that was about the most disappointing outcome possible. Rex snubbed, Mario Golf... Hopefully the first doesn't mean anything, but it's kind of hard to...

    Sunrise, Sunset - Isaac for Smash Ultimate #GoldenSunday

    Greetings Adepts! Other than occasionally making it over to hand out some likes, I've been pretty absent. Life's been rather crazy (working lots of overtime, getting laid off, getting COVID, moving, getting a new job...). But know that I'll be thinking of this group foremost during the reveal...

    Edelgard von Hresvelg - Black Eagles House Leader

    Yeah, but from memory the only times I really remember Dedue questioning Dimitri involve him muttering "Your Highness..." in surprise and then doing nothing in response, or when he unsuccessfully tries to convince Dimitri to rest in Chapter 11 when Dimitri is starting to unravel. So I agree...

    Edelgard von Hresvelg - Black Eagles House Leader

    That was actually one of my favorite characteristics of Hubert, which also sets him apart from Dedue (who, while I like, has some pretty concerning traits)

    Sunrise, Sunset - Isaac for Smash Ultimate #GoldenSunday

    I'm pretty sure David Wallace is supposed to be all of the Smash speculators who've written Isaac off for being from a "dead series." Nintendo giving a new game the green light would be enough to make them one of the good guys.

    Dimitri Cuts a Path to the Future! Home of the Blue Lions! (Congratulations Professor!)

    Honestly, Byleth + Garreg Mach + Dimitri stage cameo + Dimitri color swap + Areadbhar is probably in the top 95% of possible timelines. I’m not too greedy, so I’ll take it. The alt looks pretty good, so just spout some Boar quotes while playing with it and it will feel fairly close to the real...

    Dimitri Cuts a Path to the Future! Home of the Blue Lions! (Congratulations Professor!)

    It's a little sad to see that despite ranking at the top pretty consistently in Three Houses character polls, Dimitri seems to have very little traction in the Smash fanbase compared to Byleth (fair enough since they're the main character) or even Edelgard. There are several understandable...

    Edelgard von Hresvelg - Black Eagles House Leader

    Thanks for your response! Again, my goal was more to dispel any unfounded claims or misconceptions about the church's or Dimitri's motivations/actions to provided a more nuanced view to a delightfully nuanced game. I do think there are enough reasons for anyone here to like Edelgard, and...

    Edelgard von Hresvelg - Black Eagles House Leader

    Welp. I'm not normally one to be a keyboard warrior, but I was doing too much lurking today, and I've seen quite a few statements that come across as either heavily biased or factually incorrect. So here I am. Honestly, I'm writing this largely in hopes that you can appreciate some of the other...
