Trying to come up with a hook for a certain character for tomorrow's (today's? It's probably gonna start within the hour) SMSB job... man, this is hard.

Whenever people talk about the upcoming SMSB guest jobs, Inspector Gadget tends to come up - and look, I'm not trying to manipulate future votes one way or the other, but I am going to say that if we add Inspector Gadget, Caillou; Johnny Test; and the Teletubbies will all be elegible to recieve hats.
Honestly I feel the reason characters with minimal-to-no Nintendo ties don't appear in Smash much is just because they don't think they can market them to Nintendo fans, not some "sacred vision" on the Smash team's part.
Part of the reason why I think Smash should go multiplatform actually - obviously never gonna happen unless Nintendo goes the way of the Dreamcast, but man the opportunity to get PC/Xbox/PS associated characters, as well as the elimination of questionable choices driven by a Nintendo-centric fandom like Banjo over Chief and Mega Man before Ryu, would be so rad.
I really hate the idea that game studios' mascots inherently have to be scrimblos and vice versa. I see this a lot with Mega Man and Rayman fans, where they assume that just because they're that company's cuddliest IP they must inherently be the mascot despite them never being used in that context. "Mascot" more means say, Sonic being on the startup of the Sega CD, Mario presenting Nintendo's finanical reports, Namco having a giant Pac-Man statue outside of their building, or hell, Gex being next to the Crystal Dynamics logo on the Legacy of Kain games' boxes. Actually representing the company.
For those wondering why the Splatfest counterpart in SMSB is called "Conquests":
Conquest
Conquests were a system in Super Smash Bros. 4's With Anyone online modes. While a conquest was ongoing, the game aggregated global wins among specific groups of characters in With Anyone during a limited time, and determined the victor based on the...

I do want to do stage jobs detached from fighters in SMSB, but I'm not sure how to handle music on them for one, and I also don't know whether the "hook" concept I want to impliment for Mario newcomers should also apply.
how yall look saying "game series obviously intended for children isn't for kids"
I like the Multiversus OST on its own, but it's not a good fit for a platform fighter IMO. I understand the theatrical approach given it's Warner Bros. and as such would primarily feature movie characters, but I feel a platform fighter needs something more blood-pumping and artificial-sounding. Though, I will say that the score does have an honourful, heartwarming sound to it that fits a teamwork based game well - especially for the CN stages
IMO Rivals is probably the gold standard for platfighter OSTs in terms of how it fits the gameplay.
Pong: Paradox has started! Can we fix an artefact that's been flung into the modern world?
SmashBoards creates: Pong - Paradox
There is a famous urban legend that speaks of a mysterious event that happened in 1972 - where the hard drive containing a potentially revolutionary video game's source code was devoured by a wormhole, preventing its release and altering gaming history forever... that may sound like a typical...

While Fortnite having mature IPs is appreciated, I do wonder why they don't have that many IPs that directly appeal to their biggest (even if probably not intended) demographic of 7-to-12 year olds. The lack of a Disney or Pixar skin of any kind especially seems weird given how much Disney's loosening up on that sort of thing lately and the existence of Marvel/Star Wars/Fox content. Buzz Lightyear would be a perfect fit.
I'll be moving into a new home soon (first of August) and I may not have wifi for the first few days
I feel that once you peel back the toxicity, both sides of the "scrimblo" debate have a point - Smash is supposed to be a mega-mass-appeal game so lacking scrimblo bimblos in the DLC is a major failure on its part, especially given that it is a platform fighter and thus platformer fans will be attracted to it; but on the other hand the fandom for cartoony characters can be - intentionally or otherwise - extremely ruthless in silencing fans of more realistic or anime-esque (and more often than not infinitely more important) characters from the same company just because Mario is on the game box. (Ezio vs. Rayman for example)
Sony characters according to Smash fans:
One idea I had for a creation thread was a play on the "unfinished games" criticism by having to handle the post-release of and justify the price for a vintage classic as a modern triple A release. Like, trying to add enough content to Pong to justify making it a £50 purchase or something.

I like how
Champion of Hyrule
's Expand-A-Franchise thread is vague about just what kind of product this expanded content exists in. I like to think of it as an SSBU deluxe personally.
NASB'S ON SALE ON SWITCH GUYS QUICK
i cant believe baby sharks real name is BROOKLYN
this is some ogilvie maurice stuff
So, will we ever learn why the Grubhub kid was animated as being so scared?
It must suck to be a fan of both Multiversus and NASB - I find it really hard to get over my tribal instinct to assume anyone praising or expressing excitement for MVS on NASB-related spaces is doing it out of malice (even though they very clearly aren't most of the time), and it probably goes the same way for vice versa.
I like how what is more likely than not Doug TenNapel's attempt to insert his transphobic idiology into Earthworm Jim 3D's plot just ended up implying that Jim is a trans man.
Earthworm Kim
Earthworm Kim is a major character in Earthworm Jim 3D. She embodies Jim's long-suppressed feminine side, intent on taking on Jim's mind and body. Jim had to defeat her and save his masculinity. Kim also becomes a playable character after the game is beaten and all of the marbles have been...earthwormjim.fandom.com

The fact that so many Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse films have outlived what they're parodying in the public eye is both awesome and frightening. I wonder if, in 60 years, people will still be watching The Shinning in the Simpsons or Clams in SpongeBob, but have created and memorised new horror movies to admire and reference instead of The Shining or Jaws.
So, we can all agree that if protag first was never a rule, the Squid Sisters; King Hippo; Kumatora; and an earlier-added Isabelle would've at least been likely to show up instead of their respective protags, right?
i still cannot process the fact there was a tiny toon adventures game on the game boy advance
I think Ralts getting more votes than Gardevoir on the Expand-A-Franchise thread may be my biggest creation thread W ever, even if it didn't win.
I love Mario Tennis Aces, but seriously: who the hell decided basic mechanics in a local multiplayer game should be taught through a multi-hour story mode and not just a regular tutorial or a few scrollable screens?
oh no im going through my own mandella effect
SINCE WHEN WERE KRUSTYS ARMS YELLOW
ill never be able to watch the simpsons the same way again
I don't like how it's basically platform fighter law to make one render for each character and use it everywhere.
Give me an animated CSS and unique matchup screen renders like 64 god damn it.
It is normal to be more excited about posting HHGregg memes for for Christmas in July than your own birthday 6 days later?

i have never truly known what it feels like to hate a fictional character until that ****ing bobs burgers lookin millitant vegan girl in the birds eye advert "aRe YoU sKiPpInG bEcAuSe YoU fEaR cHaNgE" this little cartoon girl makes my blood boil harder than any villain ive ever watched
what the hell makes you think selling food to vegans by proliferating their most negative stereotype would work
Multiversus would've been "Goated" if it were just a basketball crossover game. That would've more than justified Space Jam 2's existence - hell, cut out the movie part and just make the game the sequel to the movie like The Goonies 2.
Even though he's probably not gonna win the current vote, I do have some ideas on how to balance Steve for the less gimmicky and more competitive SMSB while keeping his smarts-based trapper playstyle intact - most of which involve Mine/Craft/Create Block specifically -
