Mario, Spider-Man, Goku, SpongeBob, PaRappa the Rapper, Shaggy, and Buttercup have all been shotos at some point.

If Dora gets in NASB, I feel her stage should be based on the Dora season 1 intro - complete with a green computer border a la Flat Zone.
Outside of datamines, the NASB leak meta is almost entirely "find a licensed Nickelodeon game too obscure to have gotten a proper OST upload on YouTube, rip a single song, call it a leak".
Indie games can leak, especially when it's a collab with a corporation, it's happened many times before - but you can't really build a Smash-sized leak speculation scene out of one.
Please, YouTube, keep recommending me the OOC WordGirl clips. I love this stuff.
The way tilts and smashes work in Smash are such a weird remnant - it was a control scheme designed for the N64 controller with its giant analogue joystick, but doesn't really adapt well to any non-phallic controller.
On the Mario Smash creation thread, we're currently submitting movesets for Waluigi; Goomba; and Geno, as well as voting on two new stages and potential changes to Daisy's moveset!

They put so much creativity into the getup attacks in NASB, I'm glad there's an auto-stumble button so they can be more appreciated.
First Doug, now you! How could you, Turnar?
When self-voting for first place is avaliable as an option in creation threads, people don't use it nearly as much as you'd expect.
Seeing the official Nick Brawl Twitter retweet an article that's thumbnail is of an anime maid Vtuber made me feel an emotion, but I'm not sure what kind.
It's kinda surprising there aren't any travelling stages in NASB given how many of the Smash stage archetypes that usually don't appear in other platform fighters made it in. (There's a surprisingly large amount of big stages, and even a scrolling stage)
Now that Another Universe is done, I kinda want to start another creation thread. I feel I was a little too controlling on the first version of the cartoon Smash, (though I still stand by adding anime as being a bad idea) and generally had a hard time keeping up with my own thread. If I was to do a new creation thread it'd have to be something I'm super passionate about, but also isn't extremely niche.
Pac-Man. That's me! Pac-Man. Gaga! Ooh! I must have those power pellets! Go find me the power pellet forest!
Other creation threads: "Submit a yellow character." "Question Block?" "Yeah, sure, you can make a Question Block playable. Why the hell not?"
Infinite: "Now you have read all 185 criteria for this job, please submit a fighter" "Well, I just read the list and Question Block doesn't break any specific rul-" "Rule 186: No Question Block."
Given how much of a thread the "must've been on a Nintendo console" fan rule is on, and how the idea of console manufacturers only releasing their games on their platforms is starting to become irrelevant, it's more specifically just an anti-Sony rule at this point.
I can 100% understand criticising NASB for the lack of items in what is at the end of the day a kids' game, but not for the lack of ultimate/Final Smash moves - ultimate moves have historically not really worked in platform fighters (including casual Smash), and while you could find a way to pull it off, NASB isn't really the place since it's whole gimmick is being super fast and super offense-based - when Reptar can deal 30% damage with a (roughly) 15-frame uncharged down B, what use would he have for 5-second long building topple that deals 70%?
We should start a Kickstarter to make Thaddeus Sakurai record new Snake codecs for Rivals of Aether 3D.
The origin of lowercase-L GilvaSunner is actually kinda sad
If Masked Man got in Smash it would be really, really hard to make out the Smash showrunners in fanfiction as the good guys - not really an argument against him (though I still think that's a really bad idea), but the ethics elephant in the room of reviving a dead child and forcing him to relive the most traumatic stage of his short life on live TV while in the presence of his brother would be extremely hard to ignore in a slice-of-life "Smash Mansion" setting.
Eventually the mods will step their foot down on the kids' movie scrips, mark my words.
I think the overlap between the regulars of the NASB general thread and the Critique Smash Bros. thread says something but I'm not sure what.
I'm the biggest NASB simp on this entire site and even I wouldn't say "Chaddeus" unironically
I just realized… Jinbe Land is lost…
Highly niche Rock-A-Fire Explosion reconstruction YouTube channels in 2014 when they finally started getting views, but all the comments are about the bite of 87.
The way that Tooth Tunes were depicted as transmitting their music to the brain in ads always looked really painful.
It's honestly really sad that reveal trailer hype is basically Smash's entire brand now - feels like a tumour that's slowly covering the entire body and restricting the franchise from doing anything interesting.
DK acts in Smash the way Bowser should be acting.
In Nick Kart Racers 2, the Avatar State is just an item anyone can use. That means that, canonically, Squidward is a reincarnation of the Avatar.
One thing I've learned from checking the "controversial" filter on Reddit is that crypto bros legit believe right click memes are a propaganda conspiracy to stop GameStop from opening their NFT marketplace.
Even though he kinda screams "main character for the sake of main character"/completionist pick, I love that Lincoln Loud is in NASB because 1. he's really fun to play, and 2. compared to other kid characters in fighting games (including NASB itself), he doesn't have a mature disposition; depectively innocent charm; or powers beyond comprehension as result of a life-changing journey - he's just a clumsy, smug little albino boy with a water gun and toy rocket.
The soundtracks to NASB and Nick Kart Racers 2 feel like they were switched at birth or something - the kart racer has really intense, blood-pumping tunes with lots of guitar solos; while the competitive platform fighter tends to go for a more laid-back true-to-the-source-materal approach.
Lucas being in (the modern incarnation of) Smash and getting a mass-produced amiibo is kinda funny to me in the same way that Wall-E consistantly showing up to Disney's big IP showcases and getting an NFT is funny.
I mean, sure, Wall-E has nowhere near as radical an approach to its anti-consumerism message as Mother 3, but Lucas' merchandising is nowhere as extreme as Wall-E's so it evens itself out.
I really wish the next Smash game would treat its newcomers as no big deal, like you just wake up one day, check the website and say "hey, Waluigi's in!"
Unannounced blog posts are the optimal method of revealing video game content.
It's funny how (to my knowledge) Mario Kart has more heavy metal music than Smash
I don't know why people say Piranha Plant was such a rule-breaking expectation-changing Smash pick. It's a regular part of the standard Mario platformer cast, known to billions around the world and merchandised to hell and back - if anything it just cemented obscure and retro characters as no longer being part of the Smash brand, swapped for weird or funny characters. -
