Counterpoint: On crappy wi-fi, the lag spikes will mean your inputs have an even greater chance of flying into the blast zone :4pacman: Realistically Tails' flight would most certainly be nerfed a bit to keep him from melting the game balance. It's just that he's too busted in the games to not...

I think Tails should be added, specifically with a game-accurate flight mechanic that allows him to skip over the entire stage. This will be balanced by the fact that he can easily fly himself into the blast zone if he's not careful

Probably should've clarified it was a sort of soft-reboot, in that I didn't stress over veterans vs newcomers and primarily focused on who'd be relevant to the Switch era; The assumption was that Ultimate would still exist, so the "cut" veterans would still be on a game that's widely available...

To be fair, Shadows of Valentia released a bit after Ultimate even started development, so it's also likely a "missed the boat" situation; Besides, the other two remakes focused on Marth, who was already in Smash anyways, so there's not much of a pattern to go off of

Perhaps, but Fates wasn't actually released during 4's base game. Presumably, we'll have a new FE game actually out by the time Smash 6 swings around. Of course, that on it's own is speculation, so it's kinda hard to tell. Not much else we can say on that until we actually do see another FE release

SSBU's roster is cool and all, but it operated on a different mentality compared to past Smash games. Previously, Smash rosters were an insight as to what was relevant at the time; Something of a time capsule. Ultimate, on the other hand, was primarily focused on bringing back every veteran...

Alear's chances hinge on when the next Smash game releases/starts development, but honestly I think they might end up missing the mark. FE consistently releases every two, maybe three years, with the Three Houses/Engage gap only happening because COVID screwed up all the release schedules...

Honestly yeah, it's cool seeing all the little nods, but it can feel a little stale when the moveset is just "Hey look at all these references." I think it's cool when fighters get a couple traits unique to Smash, even if it's just a few unique movements for the normals. Also I think it would...

I've been tossing around the idea of a Switch-centric roster for a bit, since Ultimate's kind of an odd situation thanks to EVERYONE IS HERE and the DLC focusing more on big name third-parties. I've been going over a bunch of lineups in my head, and eventually I've settled on: Marth - Well...

I dunno exactly how big the next game will be, but I feel like it's might be a bit smaller than Ultimate's. I also feel like Kirby and Fire Emblem would be likely to get a new rep in the base game, and that next game might not be as heavy on third-party characters. I'm also not sure if they'd...

Truth be told I'm not sure if Lyn would really need the bow. I dunno, it never really seemed integral to her character. Like, yeah, she uses it pretty prominently in Engage, but Engage smudged some of the details for the sake of weapon variety between the Emblems, like Sigurd starting out with a...

Eh, I'll admit, my original pitch was fairly half-baked. On one hand, I had an idea for an alternate lineup that covers some weapon types that weren't covered yet. I had a mostly solid idea of who I'd use but was still not 100% sure. On the other hand, I had a vague concept of an expanded Echo...

Yeah, I went through a similar thing after all my classmates graduated or moved away. I still chat with them over Discord, but there's a specific energy of being able to interact in-person versus just sending the occasional text message

And I'm not saying that every Fire Emblem character is just a Marth clone. I was just bringing up archetypes that aren't in Smash that I think would be cool to see, because the idea of characters having multiple variants was brought up and I happened to be running through a potential alternate...

Yeah, that's why I suggested the Axe Fighters, Pegasus Knights, and Soldiers in the little sub-points; I'd prioritise axe users for the heavy slot and lance users for the Cavalry slot, assuming I don't have an infantry unit for the lance user instead. Of course, there's also popularity to take...
