I love Zelda in this. I've played her so much since Melee so when I play her the controller feels like an extension of my body. I do twice as much with half the work as anyone else I play as.

I know we have reason to believe that Decidueye is not in the game, but what about Rowlet? Why are we assuming that the Gen 7 grass starter has to be Decidueye or nothing?

There are some horrible special matches you can make in Ultimate too. It would be about adding a level of absurdity, randomness, and uniqueness. You'd be able to pick the assist trophy, so you can avoid the ones you don't want. And in this mode, the assist trophies would effect all players or...

A few characters that I really wanted playable have been confirmed to be assist trophies (I am sure I am not alone in feeling this disappointment). While I am happy these characters get some representation, getting their assist trophies is only an occasional thing. I was thinking that Ultimate...

The next game should promote the Yiga Clan to the primary antagonist and have Impa lead an attack on them.

That's how I feel about Daruk. I'd be happy to have a Goron in the game, I just personally liked the other Champions more. My reasoning for liking them are more about their characterization in BOTW and less about potential SSB functionality (but it would be satisfying to play as Urbosa with her...

I would be happy if they got in as low-effort DLC that borrows bits from other characters. It's unrealistic to expect all four to get a lot of energy and time devoted to them so if they all made it in they would need to find shortcuts. The more I play the DLC, the more I like the suggestion...

I would make my peace with any Champion making it into the game. I don't necessarily think that the Champions are a set where you either have to include all of them or none of them. If I would have to rank them, I'd want Urbosa the most, then Rivali, then Mipha, and then Daruk. Mipha would be my...

I was initially reluctant to support Mimikyu in Smash because of similarities to Pikachu but I've changed my mind. As a game that brings together mascots and representatives from popular games and franchises, I think Mimikyu is perfect to represent Sun/Moon and as way to play with Pikachu as a...

Shield + B would give the Champions a unique input and they wouldn't have to sacrifice Down B. I was also thinking the Champions could be designed in their spirit forms. They would look more ephemeral, which might make them easier to render and switch between the four.

Totally agreed. I find the waifu stuff off-putting and also wouldn't have mained her in Melee if she had this design. Zelda was perfect for being that mature feminine presence without the T&A stuff.

As a Zelda main since Melee, I am really happy that Zelda's new redesign has been so positively received! For me, personally, I will miss OoT + TP Zelda for her demeanour and elegance. I was drawn to Zelda to begin with for how cold, serious, and distant she looked. It's a type of femininity...

Ganondorf is not representative of the Gerudo. Urbosa is a much better representation of them.

The Champions are representatives of races that have been fundamentally important to the world of the Zelda games. Representatives of the Zora, Goron, Gerudo, and Rito have a place in Nintendo history for building Zelda's world and therefore have a place in Smash. The Champions are just the...

Impa's SS design is too cool to not have represented in this game. I don't like Hyrule Warriors so I hope they don't use that design and open up the gates of using HW concepts in Smash. Impa has a legacy and is a more important Sheikah than Sheik, while also being an easy addition to the roster...
