EX-****ING-CUSE ME?
Tengen's NES version of Ms. Pac-Man contains an Easter Egg seen by having Ms. Pac-Man and Pac-Man bounce off of each other repeatedly as they go through opposite ends of a tunnel.

Pac-Man Museum+ not only introduces Pac-Mom in place of Ms. Pac-Man, but other members of Pac-Man's family have been subject to the following name changes as well:

I got two stages into Infinite and they're both mansions from games about hunting treasure.
Even if I'm tired of the "twisted childhood" trope, I am glad people are finally exercising their legal right to public domain Pooh
Yoshi's Island is simultaniously a really overrated and really underrated game - on one hand, I don't necessarilly agree with its "Miyamoto magnum opus" reputation, but on the other I feel it's a game more people should be taking inspiration from like how Wario Land 4 inspired games are becoming more popular, and Nintendo fans should have higher expectations for future Yoshi titles to at least try to reach Island's peaks.
It's weird how whenever I criticise Smash, people assume I'm just saying I want Smash to be more like NASB. On one hand, I like that reputation as "the spunch bop game guy", but on the other I do want to discuss Smash's problems as their own thing without people assuming the medicine I have in mind is orange and slimy.
After we gave Goku a non-0 percent on the NASB RTC, I feel I greatly overestimated the confidence there'd be in the Expired Cow
I have now officially written the longest known serious, analytical piece related to "The Expired Cow" in human history.
If Sega hadn't had their supposed falling out with Evening Star, I feel Mania 2 and Frontiers should've had swapped budgets and scopes compared to Mania 1 and Forces - especially when it coems to advertising.
It really annoys me when people say the toxic nature of Smash speculation is just "bad apples" or "people taking it too seriously" when literally everything about Smash's marketing - intentionally or otherwise - directly encourages this kind of behaviour and extreme parasocial attachment
I find it fun to work with franchises and characters I'm not familiar with in creation threads, especially for stages. Trying to immerse yourself in a universe you have no attachment to and capture the vibe and tropes - I think the ambiguity of unfamiliarity gels well especially, since you can take the blanks you've filled in, look up if they fit in the canon, and reshape it for a good mixture of original and canon.
i almost mispelled "thanks!" as "thanos!"
Every time I see a meta-narriative based on cartoons like the Chip N' Dale movie or Pibby, my first thought is always "How does Itchy & Scratchy work in this?"
There are two voting ties that need resolving - pixel art alts to release with Steve, and Sephiroth's third content,

There's a Nintendo flash game called "Bowser's Lair Hockey" and it looks like this.
Bowser's lair, everybody.
I'm glad my "use colour-coded geometric shapes to describe a stage layout" technique is catching on.
Mario merchandise is insane because - despite inherently having to take it safe on virtue of being merchandise - it draws way deeper cuts than most of the sports games do
Even though it's what most of his support was based on pre-reveal, a Pac-Man World based Pac-Man would've been way less interesting than the Pac-Man we got.
I don't get why people want ninja Impa or Skull Kid over elderly Impa or Majora's Mask alone - might just be that I look to body shape in a fighter above canon powers, but an old mage and shapeshifting mess of abstract limbs strikes me as much more appealing than another ninja or another magic child.
I love the hilariously obscure picks in NASB RTC becasue the predictions round is literally just debating decimals of zero.
It's funny that the defensive minority of Ultimate's fanbase will say "Melee fans don't care about the other Smash games!" as if they care about 64 or Wii U.
what does this image mean
I honestly really appreciate that Namco don't use synthwave aesthetics to promote Pac-Man often - it'd be really easy to do that given that Pac-Man's maze is a product of the 80s neon style that eventually mutated into synthwave, but they generally choose something a bit more colourful and vibrant instead.
It is absolutely astonishing how much of a grip SiIvaGunner had on meme culture at one point, like 2016-to-2018 almost every major meme had some kind of connection, direct or in-, to SiIvaGunner or its staff - like, how does a channel so fundamentally, conceptually niche and specific get such a big footprint?

I don't know why prefering things for nostalgia is so frowned upon - like, yeah, someone who grew up in the 90s or 2000s is obviously going to prefer children's games and cartoons from the 90s or 2000s over children's games and cartoons from a later era. You can make all the arguments in the world for how media for children should be taken more seriously and they'd mostly be valid, but the reality is that very few grown adults will really want to - let alone - be that up to speed on the current state of the Nicktoons lineup. It's different when there's an attempt at legitimate analysis and discussion, but there's nothing wrong with just having Gen 1 as your favourite Pokémon gen or thinking of Cow & Chicken as superior to Steven Universe, and is kinda just the natural opinion most people will form if they were raised on the earlier works and grew out of kids' media - not to mention that even without nostalgia there are valid reasons to prefer a lot of these earlier works over their later counterparts (and yes, that includes Pokémon Gen 1)
I think Smash has two major problems holding it back, but weirdly enough they are in and of themselves opposites?
- Smash takes itself too seriously - it builds up even its smallest additions as a bigger deal than they should be; rarely branches out into further merchandise or spin-offs; uses overly dramatic theming unfit for the type of game it is even competitively; and refuses to be self-aware about its fundamental absurdity even when representing comical and "meta" series like WarioWare and Banjo-Kazooie.
- Smash doesn't take itself seriously enough - it only pays lip service to competitive players at best; adds characters based mostly on fan demand and marketability instead of moveset or their place in an "ultimate crossover"; juxtaposes its dramatic story mode with wacky, abstract battles based on promotional PNGs from the 90s; and has strange mechanics meant to give a less skilled player the upper hand that can bleed into competitive play.
here is my nasb revamp to make spogebob more accurate to the source material
when you press down b the battle stops to play the entire "hall monitor" episode
It's been 4 days and Venus still hasn't given me an explanation for why he won't allow Clippy.
what were they thinking making it impossible to give course worlds names in mario maker 2
PAC-MAN IN FORTNITE WHAT
It's kinda interesting how most Multiversus hype I've seen has been "look at this cool detail/reference!" rather than "look at this cool technique/move!" - nothing wrong with that, but it really does confirm my suspicion that the drop in NASB interest isn't because it's a low quality product but just that it attracted an audience it wasn't aiming for.
We are submitting clones from the RPG games and a 2010s spin off stage!

When I make movesets my process is often
- What is this character's single most iconic ability or trait?
- What playstyle and attributes would that ability or trait fit with?
- What other moves can I make that can flow well with that move?
- How do I theme those moves to fit the fighter, and how can those themes enhance the moves?
- Birdo's most iconic ability is shooting eggs out of her mouth
- Since the eggs can be stood on in Mario 2, Birdo's moves should provide different movement options - as a dinosaur, it makes sense for her to be heavyweight and slow
- As a fighter with enough movement options as is, Birdo should have a non-offensive Up B; a move that propells her backwards with nose suction; and an offensive move that the Up B goes into
- Birdo's Up B could be a parallel to Yoshi's Side B, and given the origins in Story that move could also be chargable. If Birdo's going to have an inhale move, she should follow it up with a kiss since she's a feminine character. On the topic of femininity, how about being able to cancel the Up B into a ballerina drill attack, and in turn make it a multihit?
Reminder that we are submitting movesets and alts for Birdo + animations for Klump and Captain Syrup, and voting on accessory uses! We also have a fighter job coming up tomorrow due to the schedule change
