I had another platform fighter related dream. NASB added Heffer - no Rocko, just Heffer - as a free DLC. He was added to the title screen (though Garfield, Nigel, and Shredder were still absent) and his stage was the legally distinct Rocko universe bus from the Learning with Pibby trailer.

I was just considering going into the MVS Rate Their Chances thread, submitting a single nom point for Flem & Earl, then never going on the thread again. I probably would've if I knew their policy on abstain votes. (and also didn't submit for it when it first opened)

I joined a NASB matchmaking Discord recently but still haven't had the courage to respond to any of the Switch matchmaking pings.

I think a lot of Sakurai fans don't realise the reason why criticism aimed at his games or attitude tends to be so harshly worded is because of how much of a protective shield is given to him - if people are gonna take offense to the most basic of criticisms, why not just go all-out South Park? You've gotta let that steam out somehow and they won't react any differently.

I've posted about this a few times recently, but I'm legitimately curious, and the fact my previous posts about the topic got little likes tells me there's gonna be quite a few people with answers: why do Disney Smash fan rosters tend to have such a heavy Disney XD/Disney Channel emphasis? Like, I know the new age Disney TVA stuff has quite the fandom and is very action/violence heavy even compared to a lot of the more mature animation under Disney's wing, but what propells Amphibia or the Owl House as being more worthy of taking a good chunk of the roster than say - the Muppets, the pre-renaissance movies, the Pixar shorts, the more brand-appropriate Fox acquisitions, or the Disney Parks OCs? Is there something I'm missing?

One thing I actually do like about Nintendo from a corporate/company side - and even think they do better than Sega - is that if a series is more popular overseas, (AKA here) they're willing to outsource new titles to English-speaking countries. Punch-Out!!, Metroid, and Donkey Kong are all series that have heavily Western-inspired aesthetics and - with the exception of DK - have generally done better sales-wise in Western territories, so it makes perfect sense in every way to outsource their titles to people who have felt both the cultures that spawned, and the cultures spawned by, these games IMO

Wario Wario Wario · Mar 19, 2022

I'm all for a future Smash doing a massive roster-purge to become a proper celebration of gaming history - however, such a purge shouldn't show mercy on the original 12 just because of seniority. I can't really justify having Samus, Fox, Yoshi, or even Kirby in such a roster - let alone the unlockables. I could maybe make an exception for Ness because of his influence on Pokémon and indie games but that's as far as I can really go - hell, the only 1P newcomers after 64 I could justify bringing back are Bowser, Villager, and (probably biased) Duck Hunt.

It's always kinda sad to look at the mini-documentaries you can find on YouTube about TV, movies, and theme parks - and then compare it to the general state of video game content.

I had a dream where Multiversus had a weirdly long trailer where the following was revealed

The game's art style got a complete revamp to look pastel, chibi and Sanrio-esque
They did a survey to decide whether Ace Bunny from Loonatics Unleashed should be added as Bugs' clone... through Strawpoll
For some reason Bugs Bunny's Superman costume was added as a Superman alt and not a Bugs alt
The Animaniacs were confirmed, they were stacked atop each other like Super Brawl 3's Rabbids
For some reason the Warners' idle animation was Ralph the Guard giving them a slushie to drink.
The Warners fought using a lasso
Daphne was confirmed and portrayed unusally provocatively - like, worse than Smash's portrayal of Peach
The horrible cocoon monster from this advert was in the game
Garfield was confirmed for some reason and his model was very clearly using the style of the guy who did the Sonic Says 3D animations

I really dislike when media responds to its detractors as portraying them as genocidal towards the characters or elements they dislike - it's most common with pop culture-derivative internet media I find. cough*siivagunner lore*cough

I feel that if any 2010s show is to get a rep in NASB other than the already-featured Loud House and Korra, it will probably be Fanboy & Chum Chum (unless you count Barnyard) - their show is looked upon fondly with hindsight compared to the rest of the 2010s lineup, but its early cancellation also feels a little more justified given how loathed it was upon debut unlike Harvey Beaks or Welcome to the Wayne, which are shows people like and always have liked, but drawing attention to (and therefore indirectly drawing attention to the treatment of) would be bad for the Nick brand unless there was a megaresurgence with internet communities and fan conventions like there was for Zim.

Wario Wario Wario · Mar 18, 2022

I feel the reason people are quick to disregard characters like Waluigi and Hugh Neutron as "joke/meme picks" is because they're viewing comical franchises through the lens used to view action franchises - specifically anime.

If Jimmy Neutron were a shonen anime, Hugh would be an absurd choice for NASB - but Jimmy Neutron isn't a shonen anime, it's a slice of life episodic children's cartoon; where every character's primary function is to either tell or cause jokes and action setpieces are played entirely for comedy.

If Mario were an epic JRPG series, Waluigi would also be an absurd choice for Smash - but Mario isn't a JRPG, it's a primarily party game/platformer franchise featuring silly; whimsical characters who tend to be on good terms regardless of moral alignment and have generally the same powers and power level.

I feel that when YouTubers encourage viewers to start using their PFP as an "army" it just ends up making them look unprofessional when you eventually get recommended a video from the originator of that PFP.

I posted a few days ago about how the pose of an old Margaret Thatcher statue looks just like K. Rool's - and honestly? I feel there's a relatively low chance it could be intentional - but less in the sense of "haha k rool starves the kongs like maggie starved the miners" or any other political commentary and moreso a somewhat naive "K. Rool is a British character, we should use statues of British rulers for reference!"

I feel my next Fortnite creation thread submission (of a series/IP) should be either The Flintstones or Wikipedia. Dunno what the music for Wikipedia would be though - not sure if using an audio reading would work if it isn't the not-so-E10+-friendly CBT article. Guess I could find other uncomfortable but appropriate articles, or "swaggy" ones with "epic" or "win" in them.

I do wonder, if Smash was just a hypothetical game like the Disney and Microsoft platform fighters are, which weird, relatively obscure series or sub-brand would fanmade rosters hyperfixate on like Disney Channel and Rare stuff? My best guess is Mario spin-offs. 7 WarioWare reps and 3 Kremlings alone but only 4 Pokémon and Pit as the only NES rep

Wario Wario Wario · Mar 18, 2022

I feel a majority of modern Smash's problems are caused either by unneeded compromises (Schrödinger's wavedash, the on-and-off nature of the game's "celebration" status, Ultimate's online mode ruleset system) or pandering to fans for the sake of "hype" livestreams (comically large rosters, source-accurate movesets, lack of obscure/weird newcomers)

I like the idea of NASB having a show-specific announcer, but I don't think it should be Stick Stickly - his voice is too sweet to announce a kart racer, let alone a fighting game. Patchy's voice could work but I feel he has too much of a pirate tone (accent?) to represent all the shows in the game. Realistic Fish Head or one of the live action kid actors could be a really cool announcer.

The Illumination Mario movie job I have in mind for Mario Smash will probably be for the thread to decide what kind of content it gets, with the game getting a 51st fighter if one is chosen.

I am trying to delete project m arcade and project arcade plus. Nobody cared about these two projects because everyone thinks it is a troll or poorly made. I have tried to contact the moderator to delete threads. I refuse to let these mods rot on this server. Can you contact somebody for me? Or report these threads so they can be deleted?

I really dislike SSBU's Classic Mode. The mode comes off as super dull and hard to replay without that RNG element. At the very least 64's hyperconsistency made it fun to score attack and speedrun.

Wario Wario Wario · Mar 17, 2022

It's kinda funny how on the Mario Smash thread we've already disconfirmed one of the top fan picks for a Mario RPG rep, one of the top fan picks for an arcade DK rep and probably THE top fan pick for Yoshi through ally contacts. Other threads are super conservative and strategic for ATs. (though that usually just ends with characters being conspiciously absent from base game)

I fear the prospect that future generations will come across and gain anemoia for oversimplified logos and ASMR adverts the way mine has for 80s nightlife and 90s memphis aesthetics.

Wario Wario Wario · Mar 16, 2022

I personally see NASB having competitive mechanics less as "aiming for the wrong audience" and more as the game trusting kids to use their curiousity and creativity - detached from Melee's version of wavedashing and the culture/taboos that surround it, how do you think an 8 year old would react if they learned they could slide fast by airdashing into the ground? Probably less "this is too hard, I give up!" and more "wow! I gotta show my friends how fast I can go!" - kids love the element of discovery and learning new things, (even if they won't admit it) so surely a game with tons of techniques to learn and use hiding within a simple control scheme is what you should be going for?

Wario Wario Wario · Mar 16, 2022

If you look at how Nintendo distribute their games and consider which games a younger generation would have easier access to, FLUDD is way more of a dated reference than Cape. And it's also just a bad move in general.

Wario Wario Wario · Mar 16, 2022

It's funny how people are saying "I'm not a teenage girl, so I don't like/want to watch Turning Red!" when Pixar have made not one, but two, beloved children's movies with widowing vilomahs as the main protagonists.

Somebody posted on the Bad Smash Suggestions thread "give the men swimsuits, and the women winter outfits" and the general response was "YO! THAT'D BE RAD!"

Even ignoring the heteronormative implications of the original post, can anyone really tell me they don't love this itchy little thing?
