Wario Wario Wario

If Infinite was a real game it'd be godawful competitively, like I don't even think people would give it the time of day like they did the past 3 console Smash releases. Primarily because of every single newcomer being a zoner and the exaggeratedly big roster.

my youtube reccomended is nothing but simpsons premiere promos from fox affiliates in 1989

sans backstory

In the universe where SMSB is a real game, Quickplay is going to be absolute hell - like, I'm running off the assumption that this game has rollback; a solid competitive groundwork; and no "cheater" characters, but having to fight against kids/memers/masochists/all of the above using the most horrific custom colour + animated pattern + trail + hat combinations known to man would easily negate that. Not to mention Grand Dad and Bowsette recolours... I at least expect the game to have built in detection for white/yellow Gooigi; skin colours over clothes; and stage camoflague though.

All dogs deserve a wholesome, nutritious diet that meets their needs, so I've partnered with Hawwingtons to-

fawful in rocko (real)

I've been awake all night and I don't feel tired.

Oh no, here we go again.

Nicktoons MLB probably has the best modern-to-retro balance of all the Nicktoons games - add one more 90s Nicktoon and you've got something for every era of Nicktoons fan

that, however, is not to say that it's a good roster.

capitalism be like

Apparently one of the episodes of the Ghostly Adventures is a just barely legally distinct "stealth crossover" with Space Invaders - which is an extremely clever idea, don't get me wrong, but like... why go through the hassle of checking what you can legally get away with when you can just use Galaga, an IP with the same copyright holder and an established shared universe to the Pacster? Especially given flies are likely easier to animate in 3D than squids.

I watched EmperorLemon's Mac Tonight video, and honestly it's quite beautifully poetic how the character began as an anti-aristocrat anti-hero (Mack the Knife), was appropriated to a corporate "hero" (Mac Tonight), degraded into a villain worse than he was before (Moonman), bled his villainy into the real world (/pol/), and then - in part thanks to that vulgar legacy (McDonald's disowning Mac) - finally got his redemption while returning back to the people. (Saint Pepsi/vaporwave)

I can't believe Chekhov's Gun applied to the joke leak job in Infinite.

Once SMSB enters DLC and slows down, would anyone be interested in a cartoon platform fighter creation thread... but exclusively for theatrical animation? No TV show or comic book characters.

One problem I see a lot with hypothetical platform fighter rosters is this need to be a mega-crossover, when the person making the roster is very clearly only interested in one category of the characters featured. "Microsoft" Smash rosters being dominated by Rare content instead of just making a Rare roster and nothing else is a great example of this.

We're doing a tiebreaker to decide whether we should have Shy Guy as a Villager clone or Kamek - plus a vote to find out who Kamek should be a clone of if he's added! It will close extremely shortly so get there quick!

Continuing from my post about NASB voices, I feel the NASB voices do show further how Smash taking itself seriously damages it as a product. Even before my spunchbop-induced awakening, there's always been something slightly off and uncomfortable tonally about Smash to me that I could never put my finger on, I always chalked it down to just the violence of characters like Sephiroth and Ridley in proportion to their cute opponents, but now I realise what it is: nobody's having fun. Not outside of the game, but inside the game. Hit voices sound pained, you'd be lucky to see a fighter both (non-sinisterly) smile and attack at once, victory quotes and animations are vindicitive, Chrom full-on death threats his opponent, it doesn't reflect what the game is on any level and makes the inclusions of animal and kid characters feel extremely ill-advised when they absolutely don't have to be.

I really like Lincoln's voice clips in NASB because it actually sounds like he's having a lot of fun even when KO'd or hit. Fighting the kids (or otherwise "vulnerable" characters) in Smash can often feel really bad because their voice clips sound so serious, while all the NASB characters sound like they're throwing giant beach balls at each other.

I feel Sega failed to get the memo that the reason why Nintendo Directs worked was because they rarely if ever mentioned t-shirts/action figures/plushies/corporate tie-ins (not counting amiibo) and therefore didn't feel like an ad.

Rocko and SpongeBob have a lot of similarities - I think even people who have only heard of Rocko in passing have some kind of awareness of this, hell whenever I try to describe Rocko to people who aren't into 90s cartoons I say "the social satire of The Simpsons combined with the slapstick of SpongeBob" - but it is kinda insane just how many similarities they have. Almost every main cast member you could find some kind of SpongeBob parallel to, and there's tons of plots that were reused in SpongeBob, ranging from extremely simple plots (friend loses their home, protagonist takes them in and loses their patience; character is given a cop-like role while lacking the responsibility, leaving someone to get arrested) to extremely specific and wild ideas (character drawn without a nose gains an artificial nose, and is horrified to learn of bad odours; protagonist's childhood bully is said to visit them after a set amount of time, after a lot of worry they turn out to be completely harmless)

That being said, these plots are all handled different ways - for example SpongeBob's bully BlackJack had shrunk over the years and is now too tiny to hurt anyone, while Rocko's bully Dingo had become a pacifist monk since their last encounter. When Patrick got a nose, he tried to violently destroy everything that radiated a bad odour, while when Bev got a nose she took issue with Ed's BO specifically, causing a marital issue.

Who needs Morbius 2 when you have this?
finding clips from youtube of this show is extremely hard, forgive the twitter link

Knowing how Sonic Team tend to respond to fan feedback, I have a feeling the only change they'll make to Frontiers from what we've seen is making the seagull flap its wings.

I hate to diss the work of a legend like Jim Cummings, but the Shredder voice acting in NASB is really rough. Are we sure he didn't accidentally send his Pete voice clips for Speedstorm?

I'd much rather any proposed Smash spin-off be a single series spin-off instead.

Tradfighter Smash? Make that Donkey Kong Fighters
Smash racing? Nah, how does Star Fox Grand Prix sound?
Turn based card game Smash? Drop everyone except the Pits and Palutena.
Smash Bros tactics RPG? Why not Metroid Tactics?

Just a reminder that we're submitting stages and clones!

I feel the Morbius memes got way funnier after being unsuccessfully capitalised on.

VOICE.

ACTING.

We're submitting morality swapped clones, stages that go together, and music for Ashley's "Devilish Dinner" stage!

YouTube is down again - but this time it isn't just me!

Sonic Frontiers would've benefitted greatly from an urban setting like Unleashed and the Adventure games. You can split up the more free parks, rooftops, and interiors with challenge-based linear road or street segments instead of flying rollercoaster rails; add NPCs to speak to or race with and missions to do; and add extra stakes to enemy combat by having pedestrians to protect.

The most annoying thing in finding music for creation threads (SMSB specifically) is when you find a really good remix and then half way through it turns into Banjo-Kazooie music or the Pinky & the Brain theme or something else that's completely unrelated for 5 seconds so you have to remove it.

Honestly I much prefer stage bosses like the yellow devil over Classic Mode and Story Mode bosses.

Finally got Dall-E to work

If we had to have a dark-humour-based character from a 3D platformer with context sensitive buttons in Smash, I'd much rather have Voodoo Vince than Conker since he's a homegrown Microsoft character.

If the new Crash game is a non-crossover platform fighter I will be so happy, even if it turns out crap.

This is scummy and manipulative AF, like down to the "specificly tailored character count to cut off at the right point" - especially given that this channel is clearly aiming at younger Sonic fans with its raccoon.png mascot and fake host voice that could very well be from a Sonic game.

I was considering unwatching Infinite, but the stage and music passes have got me interested again. I'm not sure if that's good or bad though.
