The lead technical character artist for Luigi's Mansion 3 also working on Hotel Mario as art director is a funny fact, sure, but it also kinda makes sense comparing the two games. Luigi's Mansion 3 is one of the most expressive games in Nintendo history, the closest Nintendo has got to an "interactive cartoon" IMO, and for as off-model and uncanny as the CD-i Nintendo games' cutscenes were, you can't say they didn't have expressive animation.

Honestly, the Chip N' Dale movie would've worked way better as an Eek! the Cat movie

Eek! was already themed around a cute, optimistic cartoon character contrasted by a cynical, violent world
Eek! was already filled with meta-jokes and pop culture parodies, and comes from the era of Animaniacs and Bonkers with the cartoons-as-actors trope.
Eek! has actually been forgotten and fell out of public conciousness, and depicting him as washed up and behind the times would just be stating facts, not an insult to devoted fans.

I'd be really disappointed if a Waluigi game was just a mega-crossover with meta-jokes about Waluigi being underutilised instead of giving Waluigi an actual fun, new world to explore tailored to his personality like Yoshi, Wario, and DK have.

If a CTR Microsoft guest had to be from Rare I'd much prefer one of the one-off DKR characters over Banjo or especially Conker, but either way I'd take Clippy in CTR over anything to come out of Twycross any day.

It's kinda funny to look back at NASB speculation content from before the gameplay reveal because a ton of people were accidentally making Smash movesets with burial, sleeping, Final Smashes, side specials, back airs, e.t.c. for Nickelodeon characters.

Wario Wario Wario · Mar 24, 2022

There is both, an alternate timeline with Kermit in NASB and an alternate timeline with Kermit in Multiversus

I kinda want to make the Akuma pose into a recurring gag for the Mario Smash thread, where every Yoshi newcomer has some kind of Street Fighter or otherwise out-of-character traditional fighter reference somewhere in their victory animations, but that's really up to submitters and voters.

I think a really cool move for Rocko in NASB would be his brain-pop scream as a counter - which would be super disjointed, have an activation hurtbox in front of instead of on Rocko (leaving him vulnerable if a foe gets up too close or is behind him), and would only react to strong moves.

I just read a TheGamer article about why NASB and MultiVersus are worse than Smash - it begins by explaining that Smash only works because it has good gameplay, but then follows it up with a rant about NASB's classic mode that doesn't even allude to, let alone dwell on, NASB's gameplay design.

Wario Wario Wario · Mar 23, 2022

My favourite animation studio is Aardman, but to be completely honest an Aardman platform fighter wouldn't really work IMO, their films are known for being quaint, they tend to have really small casts, and their action setpieces usually rely more on the environment than characters' physical skills with villains usually playing themselves instead of being outdone by the protags - that being said, I am all for an Aardman guest character in Multiversus, NASB, or a DreamWorks platform fighter.

There's two kinds of people in this world: people who put an actual Kingdom Hearts character for their "one newcomer for every series" Smash lists, and people who put in whatever the first annoying Disney sidekick they can think of is.

Wario Wario Wario · Mar 23, 2022

I made a NASB-styled list of stages and alts for my Disney platform fighter roster

PHINEAS AND FERB - Default outfit: Regular, alternate outfit: 2nd Dimension outfit - Homestage: Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated (layout is identical to the building’s regular appearance)

TIGGER - Default outfit: Regular, alternate outfit: Prototype design from 1968 “Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day” record cover - Home stage: Heffalumps and Woozles (a stage where you fight atop the hot air balloon form Heffalumps)
URSULA - Default outfit: Regular, alternate outfit: Concept Art - Home stage: Sunken Treasure Ship
WRECK IT RALPH - Default outfit: Regular, alternate outfit: 8-Bit with Z-Axis flatten - Home stage: Fix-It Felix Jr.
CHESHIRE CAT - Default outfit: Animated, alternate outfit: Live Action - Home stage: The Queen of Hearts’ Garden
PINK ELEPHANT - Default outfit: Single elephant, alternate outfit: combined multi-coloured elephants - Home stage: Dumbo the Flying Elephant (yes, you fight atop Dumbo himself as the stage)
BUZZ LIGHTYEAR - Default outfit: Regular, alternate outfit: Intergalactic Buzz Lightyear - Home stage: The Claw
MIKE AND SULLEY - Default outfit: Regular, alternate outfit: Monsters University - Home stage: Door Vault
ELASTIGIRL - Default outfit: Incredibles outfit, alternate outfit: Golden Age outfit - Home stage: Nomanisan Island
KEVIN THE SNIPE - Default outfit: Regular, alternate outfit: Concept Art olive - Home stage: Carl’s House
EVE - Default outfit: Regular, alternate outfit: Wrapped in Christmas Lights - Home stage: Axiom Landing Site (an orange, barely flowered field in the recovering Earth, with vegetation growing over the Axiom in the background - Smashville hazoff equivalent)
ANGER - Default outfit: Regular, alternate outfit: Charred concept art - Home stage: Headquarters
JERRY - Default outfit: Bumpy-headed, alternate outfit: Square headed - Home stage: The Great Before
DEBRIS DRAGON - Default outfit: Regular, alternate outfit: Original design based on the Manticore’s Tavern - Home stage: The Guinevere
LUXO JR - Default outfit: Regular, alternate outfit: Red like Luxo Sr’s appearance in Toy Story - Home stage: Eben’s Bikes (from Red’s Dream)
JACKALOPE - Default outfit: Regular, alternate outfit: Furless, akin to when the sheep loses his wool - Home stage: Rebound Wilderness (has a season cycle)

Extra notes:

Some hard alt choices were Stitch (Elvis or space suit?), Elastigirl (golden age or Incredibles 2?), Mulan (Ping or white makeup?), Pink Elephants (multi-elephant or belly dancer?), Anger, Ursula (most of their concept art would be great options), and Homer (so many picks - but Evil Homer was my top choices behind what I went with)
Really pleased with the home stage concepts for Pink Elephant, Goofy, and EVE
Alt costumes in general were pretty tricky given most of these characters only have one movie and some of them don't even appear much within that movie. Either way original concepts (Jackalope, Debris Dragon, and technically Powerline) were a last resort
I considered an original alt for Debris Dragon where it becomes an actual dragon complete with the illustration's sweater, but I felt that would take away its charm
Favourite alts are Kevin, Kermit, Mufasa, Elsa, and Indiana Jones.
Kermit's alt is probably the objective worst pick, but I really like that skit so I went with it for bias' sake
I specifically chose Donald's because I really like the idea of having a blindfolded alt.

Continuing from my whole thing about graphics vs. art, I think Sword and Shield has one of the best art directions of any first party Switch release, probably the best of any 3D non-port that isn't Yoshi's Crafted World - sure, it has a mild case of the desats, but it keeps to the aesthetic and knows when too much realism is too much.

Wario Wario Wario · Mar 23, 2022

My belief that NASB is better than Ultimate is a very hot take on its own, but if you want a scorching take, I also think NASB looks better than Ultimate. Compare any two Ultimate and Nick stages with a similar location/theme and Ludosity's work will almost always look more pleasing.

I feel a lot of Smash (and gaming in general) discourse comes from a lack of distinguishment between "would" and "should". I've noticed most of the Infinite discourse originates from that.

How has Smash managed to go so long without a capoeira (dancing) fighter?

Wario Wario Wario · Mar 23, 2022

I didn't really like Smash Legacy's "What if Melee had more dev time" video because I was only really interested in the trophies, which they glossed over.

Wario Wario Wario · Mar 23, 2022

Even though I'm way more of a 90s Nick fan than a 00s/10s Nick fan, I feel that the 90s well is pretty dry for NASB. Other than niche off-the-radar stuff like idents; puppets; Nick Jr/at Nite; and game shows, all that really seems necessary is a Rocko rep or two and maybe a second Rugrats or Hey Arnold rep.

Wait, so was I supposed to find out they remade Mr. Gimmick a year ago on my own?

Wario Wario Wario · Mar 22, 2022

A representative for game development in Smash - like Suzanne the monkey, Kung Fu Man, or the Scratch cat - would be so cool.

Wario Wario Wario · Mar 22, 2022

I feel the optimal guest pick for NASB is Danger Mouse

Important to Nickelodeon history, as one of their first big syndication smashes
Still relevant to kids today because of his reboot
Said reboot is avaliable on Paramount+ under the Nickelodeon banner
Has a whole ton of spy gadgets to choose from
Probably not expensive to license out
Could be an extra character to appeal to 80s kids playing for the TMNT cast

Even though they aren't fighters, I think wavedashing and a Bowser's Castle stage would both be big enough deals for a future Smash to make a CGI trailer for - I'd say rollback netcode but I'm not sure how you could represent that as a physical entity to give a splash screen to.

My response to the general public's response to NASB was basically a long string of "wait, people expect that?"

"Wait, people expect super moves in platform fighters?"
"Wait, people expect platform fighters to have items?"
"Wait, people expect voice acting in modern licensed games?"
"Wait, people expect remixes from the show in modern licensed games?"
"Wait, people expect multiple music tracks per stage in fighting games?"
"Wait, people expect Timmy/Jimmy to appear in modern Nick crossovers?"
"Wait, people expect platform fighters to have boss fights?"
"Wait, people expect platform fighters to have story modes?"
"Wait, people expect assist characters in platform fighters?"
"Wait, people expect every character in a platform fighter to have some kind of gimmick?"

Seems the general public 1. has a different idea of a "Smash clone" than platform fighter fans have, and 2. doesn't keep up with the state of the licensed cartoon game industry.

Wario Wario Wario · Mar 22, 2022

They should add other platform fighters to the mains stock icon thingy - I want a tiny little Nigel below my PFP.
