If I had a penny for every time a crossover platform fighter launched without multiple extremely obvious no-brainer character picks, I'd have 4 pennies, which... is a lot actually considering how little history this subgenre has

To be fair most of the snubs have some sort of understandable reason, and the ones that don't probably have one we just don't know about. I also excluded Smash 64 and Multiversus due to their (base in the case of MVS) roster sizes - otherwise Bowser; Peach; Mewtwo; Daffy Duck; Harry Potter; and a second serving of Wario + Banjo would also be here.

I think that regardless of whether they think the misconception is a reason for or against a massive Smash roster purge to make a true gaming history celebration, a lot of Smash fans don't understand that such a game would still have room for deep cuts (in a BCS) considering how many major parts of gaming history have faded into obscurity with the increasingly Americanised nature of internet documentation; declining interest in generations leaving the nostalgia zone; and how many genre innovators are overshadowed by more polished or even outright better releases of a similar type weeks or months later.

And even in the WCS, this is the sort of fandom to use terms like "Call of Duty Soldier" and "GTA Thug" so really any character can be a deep cut to Smash fandom.

If there was to be a human Pokémon rep in Smash, I'd rather they come from one of the niche spin-offs like Todd Snap or Lucy Fleetfoot.

I was about to say that I feel Multiversus should've been a Lego game to give it cohesion, but now I think about it I'm not too sure since Lego characters all have the same proportions.

That being said, a customisation-centric Lego platfighter with a ton of licensed IPs who's characters are purely cosmetic and can be applied to any archetype and/or weapon? Bring it on.

The one good thing about "dead game" circlejerk is that it's only relevant to consumers and not the big businesses in charge of a game's fate since they only see the money from initial and DLC purchases and not playerbase size, (at least for premium titles) meaning that future DLC really isn't effected by all the clowning and mockery so long as sales are good.

The fact that Yakkity Yak is more wanted on the NASB RTC than Plankton is so funny to me.

The Stork is here! Moveset and alt costume subs are on! + music subs for the Airship stage.

Slightly different take here: I'm not sure too about the Boxing Ring Stage, as that feels like it's leaking a little too much into Punch Out. That's probably the absolute most crossover I'd personally want. I'd extend the absolute extreme to Nintendoland at most. I'm probably in the minority...

I'm watching Quinton Reviews' Victorious video and WOW - I really, REALLY do not like Ariana Grande's character. (Cat) I'm sure Grande is a way better actor that you'd think from this show, but the direction she was given just comes off as grating yet uncomfortable at the same time

A casual stage concept that's been on my mind for a while now. Red platform is soft, black platforms are hard.

Wario Wario Wario · Apr 2, 2022

I feel the SMSB thread has been really fun because we all have a shared vision. We all know what games we want represented, and we all know what characters fit in or don't.

The closest thing to a worry about overrep/bias we have is I guess either between Wario; DK; and Yoshi, or between WarioWare and Wario Land, and even then I think we've done good on the prior (a little in DK's favour, but DK is a much bigger series than both in terms of popularity and game quantity so it's understandable) so far and it's too early to say if Wario Land will completely overshadowed.

Wario Wario Wario · Apr 2, 2022

Even though the songs' similarities is probably coincidental, I will probably submit Duel Zone as a song in SMSB if we get a second, more Mario Land 2-adjacent Wario's Castle stage.

now I think about it, shouldn't Meta Crystal return on virtue of being Metal Mario's stage? I've been kinda on-and-off about bringing back Wuhu as well so maybe I'll do a discussion round relating to both stages.

Wario Wario Wario · Apr 2, 2022

I feel Geno's treatment in Smash, putting aside my biases, is a perfect example of Smash's current lack of direction. If this is a "celebration of gaming history", there is way too much Geno in Smash considering he was prioritised in negotiations over the likes of Tomb Raider; Space Invaders; Hitman; Chrono; Gex; Bubble Bobble; other FF games; e.t.c., but if this is an "ultimate Nintendo fanservice game" there is nowhere near enough Geno and way too much Final Fantasy 7 specifically. Banjo is in an extremely similar situation.

Wario Wario Wario · Apr 2, 2022

Let's be 100% honest here, any two celebrities could've had that fued and people would find Dreamworks characters to animate them with.

We're voting for DKC stages, Yoshi fighters, and the 5th character to be officially revealed + Fawful's alt costumes!

I think Shovel Knight and Undertale are both series I'd rather not have in Fraymakers, but if they were to be there I'd only want the SK rep to be one of the knights who didn't get a campaign, and the Undertale rep to be from the first game but neither Frisk; Chara; nor Sans.

Here's a mega-list of things I'm salty about from the Infinite Spirit team

Generally not informing me of changes made to my Spirits
Bumping ? Block and Phantom of the Bwahpera down to Advanced instead of Legend
Disregarding Banana and Blinky (Naked) as joke spirits without further elaboration on the doc - they have given their reasons for Banana which I think are understandable, but either way the lack of information on it and Blinky (Naked)'s rejections in the doc is quite bad
In general, lacking good detail on the docs over why spirits are rejected - like Wario's Nose listed as being excluded because "nose" and not any actual reason, or the Tiny Warios enhanced form of Tiny Wario's reason for exclusion being "one is enough"
Renaming Pac-Dot to "Power Pellet" (a completely different object within the Pac-Man universe) and bumping it up to advanced even though the Spirit battle was supposed to be comically easy in nature
Approving Pac-Dot without the Pac-Maze summonable Spirit, as the idea was intended to be that you'd get a ton of the really easy Pac-Dot spirits to summon a Pac-Maze spirit like real Pac-Man
Not allowing the Expansion Pack Spirit because non-ROB accessories didn't get spirits in Ultimate - instead of just allowing more accessory spirits so Expansion Pack wouldn't be an outlier
Disregarding every change I've proposed for an Ultimate Spirit except for Toadette
Not allowing locations as Spirits
Not allowing my Typing Adventure and Pokémon Trozei spirits even though other insignificant Pokémon spin offs like Pokémon Cafe Mix were allowed and Tying Adventure is repped with a music track
Rejecting the Plok Spirit but keeping the Plok music
Qualifying my first 3 Halloween spirits even though I requested them to evaluate the Atari Halloween spirits upon learning of the 3 Spirit maximum
Changing the Flicky spirit to a general Animal Friends spirit and removing the classification as being from Flicky instead of Sonic.
Rejecting almost every 16-bit spirit that isn't from EarthBound
Not allowing the Nitro Squad to be an enhanced form of the Trophy Girls even though there's prescedent for older designs of characters enhancing into the newer redesigns
Using fan art for the Fighting Polygon Team on the Wiki instead of the model rips I used in my submission
Not allowing the Gex spirit because "stingy Square wouldn't want to acknowledge a dead IP!" even though Geno is in Smash.

One idea from Mario Kart SGP that I love (even though it was partially mine) was having Eggman as DLC without Sonic but following him up with Sonic in the next DLC pack as a cute little "Sonic saves the day!" mini-story arc. In both early SGP and current SMSB I try to consider how the younger and more casual Mario fandom would react to certain choices, and that concept sounds like something that would be super fun for a little kid.

I much prefer real world references for alt costumes when possible over references to other characters from a series canon.

I've been watching a My Little Pony Generation 1 iceberg throughout the day, I have no clue why, and I can't stop thinking about how the MLP movie is about the ponies fleeing as their kingdom gets submerged in lean.

The SMSB thread is VERY long away from DLC, but I do have an idea for a great way to start it off. Hope I don't forget it by then.

Wario Wario Wario · Apr 1, 2022

I think I'd prefer Kamek as an Ashley clone in SMSB than a unique fighter, but I guess we could find a way to make him unique if he gets in.

I was looking up the Disney show "Blam!" (basically officially sanctioned and totally X-treme CinemaSins versions of Goofy cartoons) and found this unrelated shirt featuring artwork that I assume crossed the multiversal streams from the "Disney All-Star Brawl" universe

I love the new theme song for Fraymakers, it's a pure, unfiltered combo of competition and joy - makes me wish even harder that Smash would finally get out of its mid-2000s angsty teen phase.

Wario Wario Wario · Apr 1, 2022

I'm starting to warm up to the idea of a guest character in SMSB, but it's definetly gonna be saved for DLC and have some kind of caveat rather than just being "one extra veteran"
