Persona wasn't my first pick for potential DLC characters, and I am pleasantly surprised. I hope this leads to Persona 5 coming to the Switch. My Season Pass purchase already feels worth it. Going to lengths this extreme means Sakurai and Nintendo are doing it for the art, and they're breaking...

I came to comment on the Game Awards reveal as soon as it happened, only to unsurprisingly see SmashBoards had DDoS'd. I indeed never saw it coming. A Persona protagonist was definitely not my first choice for a potential DLC character, as both acquiring the rights and designing a moveset...

Being deconfirmed by already being a Spirit is a flimsy argument if I've ever heard one. We thought Lucas wasn't happening in 3DS/U because he had a Trophy already (and Trophies have been officially stated to be replaced by Spirits here), only for him to later show up as DLC; if anything this...

So K. Rool's Blunderbuss can suck up its own cannonball and other players, and now I'm wondering if it can suck up other projectiles. There's a lot of shenanigans that could be had a la Villager's Pocket.

The fanboy inside me is screaming that Indies and especially Nindies have a chance now. I wasn't expecting to see Shovel Knight in any capacity, and several of the most requested newcomers being early reveals offers a lot of chances. The realist inside me is worried that an Assist Trophy is as...

Throwing in my hat as a supporter. Super Bomberman R proved that the Bomberman fanbase is still as loyal as ever and the general game is still fun. If Nintendo sees enough support for the newest franchise entry, it's definitely plausible. The only glaring obstacle I see is that if Konami has to...

Not gonna sign up as a supporter as I'm personally not that fond of the Kingdom Hearts series, but I'm gonna be throw in an unbiased opinion anyway. Now, gripes aside... Sora would be the obvious choice if anyone from KH was recruited, no question. He's easily its most iconic character and his...

Is it time to rise from my grave and wage war again? Count me in as a supporter. With the likes of Ryu, Cloud and Bayonetta in the roster and Commander Video being a trophy, recruiting a playable indie character is the only barrier Nintendo didn't break down in the first iteration of Sm4sh...

Okay, the spambot(s) have been evicted and their votes were purged, the poll is working again. Shantae is in 4th, and 1st is Shovel Knight with nearly 1,000 votes ahead of her. Let's try to fix that.

Welp, rip EWN Strawpoll Finals.

It amazes me that people think Shovel Knight has this much of a chance. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind him and would be as hyped as the next guy if any indie at all got into Smash, but at this point people have stopped rationalizing Shovel Knight's inclusion and just let his amiibo cram...

Looking through that reddit thread, they pretty easily found room for six extra characters on the Wii U screen too. It's probably coincidence, granted, but I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being true. Six characters from the ballot sounds fair.

I still remember the best moment from that mode. Me and my friend were on the map made up of nothing but brick blocks, and he got a Mega Mushroom... in mid-air. He promptly fell through the floor and all his Stars popped out of the pit and landed on me, winning me the game.

I remember that. I also remember it not getting off the ground because some of the desired indie characters weren't allowed to be used because their creators said so... or at least that was the case with Quote and Curly Brace. It was during the time when Cave Story was the flavour of the year...

As someone who is not familiar with YouTube exploits, I would ask that you cite a source please. EDIT: Nevermind, it's confirmed... for a shoop.
